Foe Would Punish
United States BY Keep
ing all Its Captiues

Amsterdam, Aug. 7-Discussing the
proposed exchange of American and
German war prisoners, the Nachrich-
ten Of Hamburg advises the German
government to reject all such over
lures. 1t says:
First, the Americans would enjoy
exceptional treatment which, besides
being unfair to the other prisoners,
would enormously facilitate recruiting
in America. Second, assuming the
Americans have taken fewer prisoners
than the Germans, it would be natural
for the Allies of America to make up
the requisite number of prisoners,
which would Indirectly enhance AM
erisa's reputed achievements"
The newspaper further demands
that Gas retaliation for Americas
disgraceful entry into the war;" the
idea of an exchange should be enter
tanned only after all other prisoners
are released.

London, Aug. 6 - Reuters CORE
spondent at British headquarters in
France, in a telegram dated, Monday
night, at 9:55 o'clock says:
"Ebbing of the German morale re-
sulting from recent events has been
noticeably FASTENED by the great in
fiux Of American troops. In this par
ticular regard, the German high com
mand is paying the penalty Of conceal
ment and Misrepresentation. The APP
pearance in the battle line of powerful
American forces and the striking
proof Of their splendid fighting quality
gives the lie direct to all German of
fetal bombast which no explaining
can minimize. Moreover, 1t proves the
futility of all the tall talk about the
success Of the German submarine
warfare.
"Distrust is rift in the enemy ranks
and under such conditions the ten
dency is to exaggerate their misfor-
tunes. They discredit Ludendorff's
statements and seem gloomily con-
scious that Germany is suffering defeat
and that the truth is being concealed
from them.

Paris, Aug. GIVEN in the
breathless moment before they
are given the anesthetic for the
operation meaning either life or
death for them, the Americans
wounded on the victorious of

Mrs. William j. Calhoun of
Chicago, whose husband was
formerly American minister to
China and who now has charge

military hospital at Neuilly,
spoke thus today.
"For two weeks she COM

notes for our records. Our men
have always been brave, but
now they are not only brave,
but they are happy. They for
get themselves entirely in their
joy that they have Fritz on the
run.
"They are all sure this is the
beginning d. the end. The
courage of these brave lads
thrilled me and made these days
in spite of their pain, some of
the most inspiring of my life.

effect of the enlarged draft age limits.
The total number of men in the
United States between the ages of SO
and As, inclusive, according to the
data, is 10,O28,97 Of this number,
1874, 482 are married; 440, 159 would
have to be deferred for industry and
agriculture; other deferments would
total SOL ,488, leaving total of 1, 391,-
884 for Class 1. A further deduction
of aliens, voluntary enlistments,
physical rejects and Emergency Fleet
corporation employees would leave a
net total of Col, 236 men to be obtained
between the ages of 80 and 45, in
elusive.
The number of men between 18 and
20, inclusive, is 3,171,671. Deferments
because of marriage, dependency and
essential employment would leave
2,899, 317, while further deductions for
aliens, enlistments, phyhical rejects,
and Emergency Fleet corporation
would reduce the total of fighting
men to 1877, 500. The combined total
of men thus to be obtained above and
below the present age limits would
be 2,398,845
Senator Chamberlain also submitted
a memorandum prepared by General
Crowder for the secretary of war ex-
planning the proposed amendments to
the present draft act. The first
amendment merely changed the age
limits.
The second amendment, he explains,
should be incorporated for the purpose
of enabling the president to call, for
instance, persons between the ages of
80 and 40, or of the age of 20, before
calling persons between the ages of
Is and 49,. or between the ages of 40
and 45. The amendment makes it pos
sible to call persons by classes as to
ages.

SAVES HER
BABE; LOSES LIFE
MRS. JAMES BLAIR, WELL KOWN
HERE MEETS DEATH IN
AUTO ACCIDENT.
DOG CAUSES THE TRAGEDY
FORD LOADED WITH NINE PEO-
PIE TURNS TURTLE NEAR
LOWRY SATURDAY

A terrible accident, the details Of
which the Herald has not been able to
secure, occurred last Saturday evening
on the road between Lowry and Glen
wood, In which a Ford car containing
the victims was overturned, killing
one and injuring three. A number of
related families from Reno township
near Glenwood and from Glenwood.
also had motored to Lowry. AS the
Herald has been informed, on the re-
turn home one of the cars, belonging
to the Blair family, went out of COM
mission and the driver of another, also
Blair, offered to take the occupants
OF the first car into his, making nine
in all. After going several miles in
safety, they met dog and in turning
out for him the driver made too sharp
turn, tipping the car over. Mrs.
Blair was instantly killed, the driver
sustained several crushed ribs, and two
daughters had their arms broken. A
baby whom Mrs. Blair was holding on
her lap was uninjured. Mrs. Blair
intuitively protected the. child thus
saving its life when possibly, had she
been unencumbered, her life might
have been spared. Other cars arrived
shortly and the injured ones Were
taken to Glenwood for treatment.
The funeral for Mrs. Blair was con-
Quoted at Glenwood, Monday after
noon at two o'clock, friends from all
parts Of the country attending. Mrs.
Blair was about 55 years old and is
survived by her husband and nine
children. The family lived near VIII
lard for great many years and but
a year ago, retired from active farm
life and moved into Glenwood.
Mrs. James Blair was we'll known in
Sank Centre. She was loved and
admired for her exceptional Christian
character and womanliness. Her home
was always open to rich and poor with
equal hospitality, ministering to them
in way which made life long friends
of each one, who were better for hav-
ing known her.

poets to leave within the next few
weeks for active duty in connection
with the Red Cross in Italy. Mr..

latter part of the week where he had
taken both his technical and physical

cessfully. He is now making arrange
ments preparatory to the call. His
work will consist of driving an am

proportion of refugee work. Mr.. Lee,
who is brother of Mrs. L. w. Cling

to the town.

Holstein Breeders Viii
Hold Banquet at Palmer
House During Fair Week

The Holstein- Friessan Association
of Stearns county is developing into
very healthy organization. Through
the efforts of these breeders the dairy
exhibit at the coming county fair will
undoubtedly be the largest in the
history of the fair. The members of
the association viii enjoy banquet
at the Palmer house Thursday even
ing of fair week. There are large
number of breeders of pure bred beef
strain cattle in Stearns county, and
the Herald would like to see them
organize. They could not only de-
velop their herds by the interchange
of ideas and experiences but their
activities would also innue to the BEN
eft Of the fair.

A RED CROSS FAMILY.

J. B. Schoenhoff of this city has the
unusual distinction of being the head
of the only Red Cross family of its
size in the county. This is probably
news to Mr.. Schoenhoff himself, but
on looking over the county records
it is found to be true. Last year Mr..
Schoenhoff took out memberships for
the entire family, ten, including the
maid, and last month renewed for
them. The members are ]. B. Schoen-
hoff, Leo, Anthony, Bernard, Richard,
Robert, Margaret and Elizabeth
Schoenhoff and Rose Watcher, the
Maid. The Herald anticipates mad
rush of large families for Red Cross
application blanks during the next few
days.

Brainerd, August 81 Mildred S.
Edling, said to be demented, was
found in the attic Of her home here
today, where she had been hiding
since Friday. When she was reported
missing it was believed by some that
she had jumped into the river, and
blood hounds, brought here from Du-
luth, followed trial to- the waters
edge, where they lost it. AS a result
the river was dragged without result.
Early today members of her family

MENTS HEAVY.

The Stearns county fair is the one
place where it is possible to show the
resources of the county and this Sec

no season tickets.
Stearns- county's annual agricultural
and amusement exposition will be hello
at Sank Centre Wednesday, Thursday.
Friday and Saturday, Aug. Fl, %, %
and "a.
Because Of the combination with the
Benton county fair it will be necessary
to hold the fair a week earlier this
year than usual, but harvest is well
out of the way and crops are well
enough advanced so that the displays
in all departments should and no doubt
will be complete.
The officers Of the fair are bending
their best endeavors to encourage the
exhibit of live stock and to relieve
crowded conditions of previous years
large dairy barn holding 80 head
has just been completed. The Hol-
stein riessan Association of Stearns
county will have corking exhibit this
year while the exhibits from other
dairy and beef strains will be heavy
Thursday, Aug. %, will be Todd
county and 500 Line day. Several
Todd county bands will enliven the
day while every Home Guard company
in the county will be on hand to take
part in the exhibition drill with the
Sank Centre company. 80
The Belgrade band will very likely
head the 500 Line delegation on
Thursday. This will also be school
children's day, so that Thursday will
be one of the banner days of the fair
The racing program on Thursday will
be a corker.
The Herald understands that Fri
day, Aug. 23d will be st. Cloud Ben
ton county day. The week following
the Sank Centre band will head q
large delegation from Sank Centre
to the Benton county fair. This will
probably be on Friday, Aug. 80. Or
Aug. 20 the band will also accom-.
pany the Sank Centre Home Guarc
and citizens to the Todd county fair
The idea of neighborly reciprocatior
between these fairs is splendid thing
for all concerned.
There are number of horses il
training at the local track for the
coming fair and prospects are bright
for bunch of nifty speeders which
assures that every purse win be hotls
contested.
The free attractions will be higl
grade in every particular. Secretary
Strebel is endeavoring to arrange
for the appearance of several army
aeroplane men now in training at the
state fair grounds, and has hopes Of
securing this high grade attraction.

home herself with a small sum of money.
In talking about her guestroom, she
says:
''My guest-room was quite different
proposition as it was small and / did
not want to buy any furniture. The
wall / tinted plain cream color used
an old bed, dresser, and two chairs all
painted Alice blue, and tried my hand
at stenciling the furniture with oil
paint, I bought a stencil Of a pretty
flower design and put it on the rails
of the bed arms of the chairs, on top
of the dresser, and the front OF the
drawers, didn't attempt to do the
stencil with different colors, just made
all the design in blue, a little darker
than the main part of the furniture.
For the windows, cushions, and bed
covers, found thin sun fast mate
rial which had a very wide blue and
cream-colored stripe. For my electric
lights | made simple little silk shades
of yellow. The rag rugs in this room
were woven with pale yellow thread, +"
