10-YEAR TERM FOR
ANTI WAR TALKS

Rockford, Ill. Nov. 21.-Rev. Da-
vid Gerdes, Whiteside county
Church Of the Brethren pastor. who
preached opposition to the Liberty
loan and Red Cross, was sentenced
to 10 years in Leavenworth prison
by Judge Lands here late yester-
day.
Members of Gerdes' flock who in
Dictated sympathy with some of his
views had an uncomfortable session
with Judge Lands before a crowd
that packed the court room.
a week ago Gerdes, when he
pleaded guilty, told Judge Lands,
in reply TO questions, that even If
a Hun were to attack his own
daughter he would not Stay the ruff
fan to protect her honor. The
court today asked similar questions
of Gerdes' brother and Of Joseph
LOugnccker, another member of the
flock.
Both said that in such a case
they would plead that in Gods name
their daughter be spared To kill
a man, though a brute, would be
to imperil their souls.
rs your soul worth more than
your daughters hOnOr?" asked the
court Of Longnecker
1T is worth more than all" was
the reply.
Take them out Of the court
rOOm.' shouted Judge Lands to a
bailif.
These men hold their measIy
little shriveled souls of more i'm
pOrtance than they do the honor Of
their mother, wife. or daughter"
said Judge Lands to the next wit
ness, Herman w Pratt. a member
of the church for 40 years. What
I am trying to find out is if there is
any member in your congregation
with similar opinions"
Pratt said that in such a case he
would take chances on the saliva
ton of his soul and defend his
daughter to the death.
John D. Grader, an elder. made
no secret Of the fact that he did not
endorse the views of the Cerdes
following.
Would you use a dandy Colt IS,
one which can bore a hole through
a siX-iuch board. if necessary to
protect your daughters honor from

LONDON, Oct. 81. = Russia is
facing a winter of hunger and cold
augmented this year because of the
extreme scarcity of fuel which pre-
walls in all parts of that country.
The lack of coal has been keenly
felt ever since the loss of the Do
netz basin to the Germans early last
spring. 1t affected the railroads
and caused factories to be shut
down.
The Czecho-Slovak operations in
Siberia and in the Ural region have
prevented any relief from that di-
rection.
The stores of wood in Moscow
and Petrograd, owing to the lack
of transportation facilities and 9TH
er difficulties too numerou to
mention, are far from sufficient to
meet the demands of along winter.

BERLIN BANK IS
VICTIM OF FRAUD

NEW YORK, Nov. 2. - The
Prussian state bank in Berlin has
been the victim of a singular fraud,
say German newspapers. A foreign
commercial house transmitted to
the bank the sum of 600 900 marks
to be credited to the account of a
foreign bank. The letter referring
to the transaction was intercepted
and a forged letter was substituted
in which the bank was directed to
deposit the sum to the credit of
a Berlin metal firm.
Two days later the metal firm
drew the amount in cash. The
fraud was discovered some time
later when the foreign bank desired
to make use of the money. 1t was
then discovered that the metal firm
was not in existence.

RUSSIANS face LONG WINTER
With little COAL OR WOOD

A Moscow paper estimated some
months ago that the supplies of
wood in that city would hardly suf-
flee to satisfy the needs of public
utilities this winter, and that in
consequence all private enterprises
and homes could not hope to get
even a limited quantity of it.
To one who has experienced the
discomforts of a cold Russian win
ter. even under better conditions,
the situation is far from alluring.
The chilly atmosphere of an un-
heated apartment. darkness in the
streets and homes. the quiet of a
city undisturbed by the rumble of
street cars and motor vehicles, and.
lastly, the uncomfortable feeling of
an empty stomach. such are the
prospects of the coming winter in
Russia.
