Uphold Action Council De-
Tense in Imprison,ng Swiss
OeCIarant Who Used
German Language.

Columbus, Neb., Sept. 20.-(Spe-
cial Te1egram.)-Full approval of all
of the war activities of the Platte
County Council of Defense has been
unanimously expressed by a mass
meeting of citizens held in the
Columbus opera house. Hundreds
of people were unable to gain ad-
mittance because of the large crowd.
The meeting was called to pass on
the action of the council of defense
in imprisoning P. L. Luchsinger, a
Swiss, who had taken out his first
papers, after he had been called be-
fore the council to discuss his use
of the German language and his
correspondence with the National
Council of Defense on the language
question.
During the discussion before the
county council Mr.. Luchsinger re-
ferred to himself as a Swiss citizen,
whereupon Mark Burke. sheriff of
the county and secretary of the
council, said, Il thought that you
were an American citizen" Mr..
Luchsinger is said in his reply to
have drawn invidious comparisons
between the Irish and the Swiss
and to have called the sheriff liar.
The sheriff is reported to have then
slapped Luchsinger's face.
Luchsinger was then sentenced to
confinement for one hour in the
county Jail. Upon his release he
filed damage suit for $4,000
against Burke and c. J. Darlow,
chairman of the council. The suit
is still pending.
The action of the council of de-
Tense was endorsed by a committee
on resolutions appointed at the mass
meeting, consisting of P. f. McKil-
lip, c. ]. Carrig. G. w. Phillips, E
II. Chambers and DR.. c. D. Evans
The report of the committee was
then passed unanimously by the
meeting.

Old Mill Wheel Now Helps
Relieve Sugar Shortage

Red Oak, Ia, Sept. 20.-tSpecial)
One of the oldest mill water
wheels in existence in the state of

ner.
Our investigations lead us to be-
lieve that your money is as economi-
cally spent, and that the gen.
eral business of the league is as eff
ficiently conducted. as could be ex-
pected, when the magnitude of the
business transacted, the territory
covered, and the large number of
people employed are considered, and
especially so, when you realize that
this is a new organization, embrac-
ing entirely new systems of opera
ton, that its progress has been
hindered, by every obstruction,
either legitimate, or illegitimate, that
the genius of the old line politicians
and big business could devise.
I'VE were favorably impressed
with the cooperative features of the
league between the several states
wherein it places the funds from the
different states m one general fund,
to be used in the states where most
needed, at the same time giving each
state strict credit for all its contri-
buttons, thus making the league
truly national organization"

BOARD NOT MERE
RUBBER STAMP"
Members Dismiss Telephone
Companies Requests to
Put in Effect U. S. High.
er Rate Order.
From a Staff Correspondent.

Lincoln. Neb., Sept, 20.-(Special.)
The application of Nebraska tele-
phone companies to the State Rail-
way commission for approval of the
new government installation charges
ordered by Postmaster General Bur
Lesson in connection with installing
and moving to new locations serv-
ice telephones was denied by the
commission Friday.
Railway Commissioner Victor
Wilson announced that the applica-
tons were dismissed "for want of
prosecution" after conference
with representative of three COM
panies of the state. The repre-
sentatives explained that they were
not authorized to ask state commits
sions for sanction of Burleson's
rates and could not make a showing
of any kind.
Formal announcement was made
by the representatives that the gov
eminent rates made mandatory by
Burleson would be put into effect
Immediately.
May Go Into Court.
The commission may take the
next step in the controversy by
bringing an injunction suit in fed
eral court to prevent the govern
ment rates from being installed. The
matter as to the next move, how
ever, is still undecided. 1t is doubt
full whether an injunction suit can
be brought by a state body against
a federal officer. The forthcoming
suit depends on this one point.
The federal rates are SIS to SIS
for installation in cities over $4,000
and s. in cities under $4,000 and
rural communities.
In announcing his decision, Com
missioner Wilson said:
This commission is not going to
be made a rubber stamp. We cannot
approve public service rates with
out a hearing, and we do not pro-
pose to forgo the legal rights of the
Nebraska state commission to fix
and approve adequate rates within
the state"
The contention of the commission
is that the resolution by congress,
giving the president control of tele-
phone and telegraph lines, made ade-
quate provision that the powers of
state commissions should not be
impaired.

THE WALL MUST BE PREACHED

Recent dispatches from the German cities in
dictate that the German people are becoming seri-
ously worried about the conduct of the war. I If
this is SOFT is because they have been shaken out
of their apathy by the reports of the allied adj
vances. Until lately it seemed that the plain peo-
pie in Germany had become apathetic. Being un-
able to puzzle out the real facts of the war, they
had stopped trying to think at all.
"a brooding fear has settled over the Ger
man masses" wrote the Amsterdam correspon-
dent of the New York World short time ago
They have grown utterly Indifferent
This stodgines> of mind has been largely
caused by the intellectual barrier which has been
built up around Germany by the imperial cen
sorship Real news has been reaching the people
not at all, only in doctored and falsifed form
Not until the great wall of silence around Ger
many has been battered down will the Teutonic
people re-awake to take place in the circle of en-.
Hghtened nations.
