fields of war service-the Red Cross
War Community Service and similar
bodies-are complaining of the severe
handicaps which they suffer from the
failure of persons to keep their APP
pointments to perform certain tasks.
Many instances are cited of excellent
plans miscarrying through such fail
ure. When a person pledges herself
or himself to assist in a task the or
CARNATIONS make definite plans ac-
cordingly. Neglect exasperates, de-
lays and disappoints. Keep your APP

(By Newspaper Enterprise ASSN

(By Newspaper Enterprise ASSN
The aged Empress Eugenie, the last
empress of France, who has been liv-
ing in England SINCE the birth Of the
French republic, is watching with in
tense interest the successful drive Of
the Americans and French on the
Marne
/ For the further the allies drive the
Germans the further the Huns will
run from the city of COmpiegne,
which not only has deep significance
from. a military standpoint, but for
which the empress has passionate
romantic attachment. 49,,
1t was at Compiegne that Napoleon
III made Eugene his offer of mar
riage. W. -
Breaking from a hedge some fex-
ible green branches, the emperor
twisted them into the form of a crown
and placed itOn her head. Then, In a
tone loud enough for all to hear the
significant words, he said: - :
until you wear the crown Of gold!"
Naturally the city has been sacred
to the empress ever since, and she
would be deeply grieyed if the Ger
mans captured it. At one point in
their June offensive thesGermans were
within five miles Of it. Now all i'm
mediate danger of its capture is re-
moved ",. srH -.
A story is told Of the empress, who
is now nearly 80 years old, in con-
nection with the beginning Of the war.
She stood in a window in Paris, think
ing of the war of 1870, as the French
army marched by on its way to the
front. AS she watched them she
cried: @., ..

ATTEMPT TO
KILL KAISER
That's the Reward Offered by
England, If You Believe

Amsterdam, Holland, July 3O--Two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars to
the man who attempts to kill the
kaiser! gis 81 IA, ~.
Two; Aun.lrell thousand fos an at
tempt on the life OF the crown prince!
Those are the prizes hung up by
the British government, if the official
German newspaper, the Norddeutsche
AllegemeineZ Zeitung, can be believed,
or course it's part of the paii-Ger-
man propaganda scheme, just as the
recent announcement that an attempt
had been made to kill the kaiser ana
Won Hindenburg and its subsequent
denial was propaganda. The idea
seems to be that this sort OF lies Will
make the kaicer and the clown"
prince more eFpOpular. t,a
The German paper which prints this
weird yarn declares the authority for
it is two recaptured German deserters
who had been employed in Copenha-
gen by. the British secret service.
1t isn't necessary to kill the kaiser;
all you nave to 40 is attempt IL "
win the reward. The Allegemeine Zei-
tung intimates that England realizes
that to kill the head HUN would be
impossible.
According to the story the follow
ing scale Of prizes has been hung up
by Britain for other similar feats:
For the destruction Of u-boat,
$125,000. w
For the destruction Of German
bridge $4,000.
For inciting mutiny or a strike,
$12,500. S':a
For causing&a fire in German ship
yard, 100000.

clared that the French government

BIBLE GIFT FROM KAISER
History Of Holy Book in Church
at New Salem Is Ruled
Out of Court

Whether the facts surrounding the
alleged presentation Cf bible to Rev.
"A. l.. Fontana's church at New Salem
by Kaiser Wilhelm, some time prior
to November 1916, were admissible
evidence was one of the important
questions which arose this morning in
the trial of the Morton county cleric,
who is charged with violating the es
pionage act Of June Is, 1917, by inter-
fering or attempting to interfere VITA
the sale of Liberty bonds.
District Attorney Hildreth argued
that the evidence should be admitted
for the reason, he claimed, that it
covered one of chain of acts which
connected the defendant with the
crime of which he now is accused. He
held that the evidence was as admis-
sable as it would be to 0fshow that a
man who had robbed a bank had pur-
chased dynamite a>year in advance
of the act, or nitroglycerine sin
months in advance of the crime. The
court held on the contrary, that the
government was seeking to make a
crime of acts which at the time they
were performed. before America had
declared war on Germany were not
criminal.
