who was selling something came in
from the west. He applied for lodg-

lady said she would let him have a
room, but when he said he could not

and what she said were so ugly it
maddened him and he remarked,
"This town isn't worth h-ll". The
woman threatened the man with
trouble, and as he walked out of the
house she phoned for a policeman.
The officer soon found the stranger
at the hotel, around the corner, a
couple of blocks away; grabbing him
and jerking him, he said, "You come
with me-" He was locked in the
dirty calaboose, where he was forced
to lay on dirty bed with a dirty
quilt for cover.
The next morning the chief of po.

the man asked, Don't you think you

Six thousand workmen built the

We also see a part Of the "a, 200, 600

Twenty-seven miles of sewers were
laid and we see quantities of the pipe
piled up. We also see the construc-

T~wenty-three miles of pipe carry two

daily to the camp and this water is
piped across the Arkansas river and
boosted owe the hills by a huge pump

justifiable.

DR.. Gustav S~tressman, leader of the
German national Liberals in the reich
stag, has placed himself on the side
of the advocates of annexation and
the opponents of peace by agreement.
The Vorwaerts reports DR.. Stressman
as saying in a speech at Wurttemburg
that the reichstag majority resolution
in favor of peace vas a tactical error
and that ''in common with the over
whelming majority of my party I
consider every resolution having in
view peace at the present time as IN
justiiable in view Of the war situa-
ton as it now stands"
DR.. Stressman's annexation pro-
gram. as gathered from the speech,
aims chiefly toward the east.
