BOOZE TAKEN INTO
DRY IOWA TOWN
in PECULIAR WAY

Albert Lea. Mimi. Dec. 21.-For
some time the dry town of Manly, Ia.
south of here, had been getting booze
in a very mysterious manner. 1t was
evident that the trains were bringing
it in. But ht :? Detectives had
Travelled back and forth for many trips
! trying to locate the wet goods, but
nothing was discovered.
Finally the booze itself spilled the
beans.
One of the big engines was running
along the Rock Island right of way,
between Faribault and Owatonna. wet
cities. and Manly, when things seemed
suddenly to go wrong. The engineer
noticed there was no water coming
into the boiler. He stopped the loco
motive and began an investigation.
The tender was full of water. The en-
gineer figured that therefore the pipe
that led to the boiler must be choked.
He cautiously began to fish around
tender. The pieces were the choking
agents. Upon investigation it was
found that the carton had contained a
number of bottles of booze. There
was also lying near, a well soaked. but
intact, suitcase full of the same stuff.
The mess was cleared away and
con1scated. The engine rambled
along into Manly and put up in the
roundhouse. Then a watch was set.
and BY and by a stealthy shadow was
seen creeping up on the tender. The
shadow began to fish with a big hook
on the end of a rope, but no fish rose
to his bait.
So the mystery of the booze in
Manly was solved at last. The send
ers. somewhere on the line. would put
a suitcase or two of wet goods in the
water of the tender, and the c%onfeder-
ate at Manly would fish it tut

INFLUENZA CAUSES
SHORTAGE OF CUT
FLOWERS In SOUTH

st. Louis, Mo-. Dec. 21.-Infuenza.
has caused a shortage of cut flowers
and a big increase in prices here and
many other parts of the country. ac-
cording to local dealers. American
beauty roses which on October 1'sold
at SIS a dozen are now quoted at $24
and medium roses that sold for rs
cents each are now $3.50 each. Car
nations have advanced from IS cents
a dozen to 81 and IS a dozen.
Orders for flowers have been sent
to st. Paul, Chicago and Canada,
especially for American beauty roses.
The shortage is attributed to the
large increase in funeral orders,
which must be filed from a short
crop due to curtnilments of the fuel
supply. The increased crop started
since the fuel ban has been lifted will
not be ready before February.

THE NATION is GUILTY

One Of the cartoons which helped to break UP the
old Tweed ring in New York. and to send Tweee and a
number Of his conspirators to prison. a cartoon. too,
which helped to make its creator, Thomas Mast, famous,
showed Tweed and about a dozen of his fellow criminals
standing in a circle, and while the accusations of fraud
and theft were shown, each man in the ring pointed his
finger at his neighbor until the pointing had gone clear
round.
: Mast would have made a delightful cartoon Of the
present German situation. with ex-kaiser, ex-crown
prince, ex-chancellor, and a number of other exes stand
ing in a circle with the men who have now seized the
reins of government and a liberal sprinkling of indiv1d-
uals taken from the general population, each pointing
at his neighbor, and each protesting to heaven his inno-
ccnce Of being the cause of the war and his freedom from
responsibility for any of its outrages.
volved. 1t would be absurd to assume that there are
not in Germany individuals in all grades of society who
have disapproved of the war, and who have not counte-
nanced the manner in which the German side of it was
conducted. Some of those individuals have spoken.
Others have not. But they exist, and they are not to be
included in the general verdict of condemnation. But
is it nevertheless true that the nation in general was
poisoned with the spirit of mihtarism.
The persons who were Immediately responsible for
be formally convicted of their crimes and punished in a
fitting manner. But when this is done there will remain
some millions of Germans who have countenanced these
crimes, many who have willingly participated in them,
and for these people, while they may not be reached in
dividuslly, a decent period devoted to a course of sack
cloth and ashes will be highly appropriate.

Among the many Interesting features that have come

Among the many interesting features that have come
to notice in connection with the struggles of races sons
suppressed to declare themselves in terms Of their own
nationality none could have made a stronger appeal to
the sentiment Of the world than the gathering Of the
American Jewish congress at Philadelphia a few days
ago, and the acceptance by the congress of Palestine as
the national home. of the Jewish people. Homeless and
prosecuted though these people have been, through
century after century, they have kept alive within their
breasts the hope that their national existence would be
restored, and that the land promised to Abraham and
given TO his children might again be theirs. That hope
is apparently to be fulfilled, and for their security the
Jews have decided to request that their occupation of
Palestine shall be under the trusteeship of Great Britain.

ITALY'S RIGHT TO
FIUME IS UPHELD
BY the Italian American News
Bureau.

Bureau.
Rome, Dee. 21.-Whether the
Croats only recently subjects to Aus
tria and the Jugo-Slavs who took no
part III the war are to have a hearing
before the peace council in order to
press their claims to the city Of Fiume
is discussed in Rome. although the
visit of President Wilson to the
eternal City promises much for the
aspirations of Italy in the Adriatic.
Venice for ten centuries ruled the city
which is to all intents italian still.
On the strength Of the assertions Of
some politician of Croatia who after
barely casting off his allegiance to
Austria, is touring the capitals of the
Entente Allies. a certain number Of
persons, many of them without much
thought, maintain that. the, .Croats
should have Fiune because of it's
geographical position and their eco
nomic necessity.
First consider their national right.
At Fiume the racial statistics Of the
hungarian government, requested by
the Croats with much insistence, as
essential and decisive proof of their
right to Dalmatia are quite unfavor-
able to their case. The official census
of 1910 gives in round figures: Of
$4,000 inhabitants, $1,000 Slavs-
Croats, Slovenes and Serbs, of which
more than two-thirds have no civic
rights: 10000 Italians 5000 Hun
sEarians and 5000 who cannot be di-
.Vlded among other nationalities,
There are therefor a few thousand
S!avs who would enforce their
supremacy over thai of $4,000 Itali-
ans. And after that? After that is
the pseudo historic right to a possess
sion held from 1848 to 1867 and
which should in their opinion offset
the large numerical majority which
weighs against them.
However since his puerile argu-
ment falls far short Of convincing inn
partial persons, Seton Watson an ac-
tive and jealous friend Of the Serbo-
troat national cause. has undertaken
to prove the. rights bf the Croats to
Fiume by a trick of Arithmetic which
consists of adding the Croats in near
by Sussak to the Croats in Fiume.
This borough of about 10000 in
habitants is in Croat territory and is,
separated from Fiu,ne by the FUN
ara canal. (Aeneus canal of the An
Cients) Mr.. Watson reasons in this
wise:
In Fiume $4,000 italians live,
while the city contains 1900 Croats.
II the large and hourishing suburb of
sussak which belongs to. Croatia in an
administrative way, were united to
Fiun1c the Croats would be at least
equal in numbers to the Italians.
"Fiume," he adds, ''in the same
way as Trieste is the seaport of a vast
hinterland, and this should be con-
sidered in making future adjustments.
Geographically the. city is the natural
port of Croatia. 1t is necessary
therefor to include it in the future
state of J~ugo-Slavia."
He closes by. maintaining that
Fiunle is necessary economically to
Serbia. to Hungary and to Bohemia.
Therefor it should become a free port
united to Croatia, a triangular eco
arrangement, as defined by;
the British writer.
We should ask him in reply: Why
is such an arrangement not possible
with Fume an Italian city belonging
to Italy? sand how does Fiume be-
long geographically to Croatia?
