PLAN TO ABOLISH
GERMAN IN WATERLOO

Waterloo, Dec. 18.-Plans to abolish
the teaching of German in the Water
loo high school were taken Friday at

stricken from the course at once, but
Supt. A. T. Hukill explained such &C
ton would work hardship ON stu
dents who are already far along with
their study. After q lengthy discus
sion 1t was decided to refer the mat
ter to the committee in charge OF the
course of study. This committee was
directed to investigate and be pre-
pared to lay complete report before
the board before school opens next
fall. n
Some members propose the substi-
tuition Of Spanish or French.

tons will be won and lost in the ehort
to get the amendment ratified. .
coMMoNER TO LEAD.
For one thing it restores William
Jennings Bryan to the political map.
He will be the standard. bearer and
will campaign wherever the battle
leads.
Conventions will rock with the
strife, and candidates will be nomr
mated according to their attitude to-
ward beer and wine. Nobody thinks
of whisky, for that is done. It can no
longer be manufactured, and gradual
" the existing stock will be con.
sumed .t
If the war is over by the next
presidential convention there will be
no bigger issue than prohibition, as
Stunning that the fight will still be go
, ing on in the states. With such an
issue Bryan will be towering figure.
SEVEN YEARssT GO.
Twenty-four states are dry now.
The vets intend to make "a fight in
every one of them for the repeal of
the prohibition statutes, though with
small hope of success in the south.
The drys believe this line will hold
and will make their. greatest effort to
bring another dozen states into line.
They have seven years in which to
accomplish it; that means seven
years of the limelight for Bryan. un-
less his side wins before. II victory
comes to the prohibitionistss it will
mean the exaltation of the common
er. ~ %.
If the fight goes on for the full
time, they can not get along without
him. Any way the; cards fall, Bryan
gets a good hand.

TO SIGNAL BY BUelE,
KNEW OF The Battle.

Contrary to the statement afterward
given for publication by General Reno
too late to go to the assistance Of Gus
ter's men, Keppler said, shortly before
his death. in narration of the experi-
ence to DR.. NJ. Bannister, that they
were aware of the battle from the mo-
ment of the attack but were prevented
by Reno from going to the aid OF their
comrades.
Keppler was an unpretentious sort
Of man and few people knew Of his in
teresting and thrilling experiences in
the civil and Indian wars. he did not
tell his stories boastfuliy nor did be AK
aggerate to add to the interest. His
stories Of the Indian wars were quite
interesting enough in the bare facts
that no extra touches were necessary.

one years, L. G. Keppler. who died sud-
denly Thursday at his home. 800 East
Fourth street from heart trouble, was
bugler on the staff of General Custer
In the latter's Indian campaigns, and
prided himself upon his ability to
blow louder call than any Of the 9TH
er buglers.
It was this ability as a bugler that
was the means Of saving his life in
1876. the year Of Clusters death. But
for the fact that the little army Of It's
men was divided into two parts and
Keppler was sent with that part placed
under Colonel Marcus Reno, he would
have been in the Indian massacre, often
spoken Of as Clusters last stand, =
whore Custer met his death fighting
calamity.
TO SIGNAL BY BUGlE,
The army was divided for recon
noitering purposes and Keppler was
sent with Reno, so Custer explained to
him, because he could blow the loudest
call and it was his duty to keep Custer
nof:ded as to Reno's whereabouts by
means Of his bugle calls.
1t was the next day that General
Custer, installing the number OF Ind
ians pitted against him, made his at
tack and his little handful Of men was
completely wiped out by the 5000 Ind

Disastrous German Attacks
on Merchant Fleets Starts
New Criticism.
PUBLIC ASKS WHERE

London, Dec. 1S.-Testimony given
at the inquest over the victims Of the
German attack on the British convoy
shows the attack occurred between 4
and o'clock Wednesday morning and
that the enemy destroyers fired a.
rapidly as possible for few minutes.
A Swedish steamer was torpedoed
twice, the second torpedo cutting the
vessel completely in two. or tho crew
of twenty hands on board, sixteen
were either killed or missing.
No assistance was rendered by the
enemy boats. British destroyers came
upon the scene and rescued the sur.
vfvors.
PUBLIC is AROUSED.
The two successful attacks BY Ger.
man warsbips on convoy In the
North sea resulting in the sinking
Of fourteen vessels. as announced IN
the house Of commons YESTERDAY. came
as an uncomfortable surprise to the
British public. It is expected to cause
= revival Of the, serious criticism OF
the admiralty such as the time Of the
successful German attack on convoy
of scandinavian merchantmen In
October.
RAIDERS ESCAPED SAFELY.
According to Danish accounts. the
force which attacked the convoy con-
sisted Of four cruisers in addition to
Destroyer A painful aspect of the
affair, from the British public's point
Of view, is that apparently all the at
lacking vessels escaped and returned
to their bases.
Another unpleasant feature is that
the British cruiser squadron detailed
to protect the convoy against surface
attacks, for some UNEXPLAINED reason
was not upon the scene.
NAVAL INQUIRY BEGINS.
