Martgage says he has been in this
country about five years, having come
from Bosnia, now province of the
Austrian empire. He says he was
married there about eight months be-
fore leaving for America. He intended
to get a start in this country and
then send for his wife to come over
too. But the great war came on. For
a time he was able to correspond with
his wife, but during the past two
years he had been unable to do so
or to send her money. His own letters
have come back to him, as the Aus
trian government will not handle his
mail in and out of Bosnia, owing tc
rebellious conditions there.
Has Sympathy With Allies.
Martgage says he cannot tell any
thing about his wife now. He says he
is of Servian blood, like the great
mass of the people of Bosnia, and that
his sympathies have always been with
the allies. He says the people of Bosnia
were very anxious to be annexed tC
religion. He says the Bosnian people
have been doubly and unjustly taxed
by the Austrian empire. He says, as
he understands it, the murder of thai
Austrian prince, the heir apparent tt
the Austrian throne, was due to the
fact that he had threatened to crust
the Greek religion out of Bosnia
after he came to the throne. Mart
gage says he does not think the gov
eminent of Servia had anything to d.
with that assassination.
Since he has been in Iowa, Martgag'
has followed the trade of tiler in thu
, summer. Gillander is employed in ;
pool and billiard establishment a
Spencer, Iowa. He has wife Their

Superintendent Fairfax Schools

Understanding
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
While the public schools imbroglio
in Elk River over German textbooks
still is unsettled, that in Fairfax, in
volving questions of loyalty of certain
school directors, has been adjusted
and peace reigns, says The Mime
apolis Tribune.
c.. G. Schulz, state superintendent OF
| education, was the peacemaker IN
| Fairfax Elk River is reported 10
have seen no signs of peacemaker
and neither of the factions there has
shown flag of truce.
Mr.. Schulz went to Fairfax last
| week and conferred with the school
board IT had been charged in COM
plants to the Minnesota Public Safety
commission that all board members
except one were disloyal.
The school superintendent had taken
the position that majority of the
board were opposed to reappointing
him and given as his understanding
CT their reason that they had not
liked his pronounced patriotic pro-
grams in the schools the last year. A
/ dozen teachers and group of town
folk lined up with the superintendent.
| According to Mr.. Schulz, his inves-
tigation disclosed that there was no
basis for the charges of disloyalty, all
complaints before the Safety commits
sion have been withdrawn and a bet
ter understanding now exists between
the superintendent and the board.
Mr.. Schulz said the situation in Elk
River had developed such intense
feeling between factions at the start
that it had got out of hand and made
settlement difficult 1t is UNDER
stood that 90 to 25 high school stud
ent's still are out of school as a re-
suit of their strike against use of
German textbooks condemned by the
State Safety commission.
! Virtually all schools in the state
have reported to Mr.. Schulz on their
observance of the safety commissions
condemned textbooks list, as called
for by inquiries recently sent them.
