HYSTER|A NOW
FILLS GERMANY

All central Europe is stir shaking
from the shock of the Bulgarian
crash Moreover, the force of the eff
feet on TurKev, Austria Hungary and
upon Germany herself, is progress
i've, like the havoc from the lava of a
volcano after the first erupting squirt.
From every capital of the central
alliance crises and riots are reported.
Closest to collapse is Turkey, faced
by utter isolation as a result of Bull
garia's detection. In Constantinople,
while the starving pOpulace is riOting,
crying peace before more thousands
OF it's brethren are trapped, captured
Or killed in the desert OF Syria, two
equally powerful factions are strug-
Cling for the upper hand. One is led
by Enver Pasha, Turkeys Count Tis-
"a, blindly devoted to the German en-
peror and empire-German writer's
have called him the ottoman Napol-
eon''-and the other by Talaat Pasha,
whose motto is Turkey first"
Peace Move Started
While Enver Pasha was beseeching
the council of ministers to keep heart,
assuring them the central powers were
by no means beaten, Talaat Pasha was
reported rallying his supporters for
a peace move.
Well informed observers put the
limit of Turkish endurance in her pres
ent plight at three weeks. Others
went so far as to predict an Austro-
Hungarian collapse by Christmas.
That the peace workers both in Ger
many and Austria are feverishly busy
and that the two governments are
frantically searching for some way to
associate themselves with the paci-
fists and thus save their faces without
entailing untold humiliation seems
certain.
Kaiser Asks Aid
The kaiser is making swOrd-rattling
speeche in desperate attempts to stiff
fen his "home front" and save the
morale of his army from breaking
down under the terrific strain on the
west

lAVALLE MAN
IN TROUBLE
Deputy United States La Motto
Raids Blind Pig" and Gets
robin Hop"
(From Mondays daily.)

For sometime suspicion had lurked
around the "soft drink" place Of AL
bert Thurman at La Valle and it only
needed the services Of Deputy United
States Marshal La Motto to drive
away the mist When ne made the
raid he found about 400 bottles of beer
and these were turned over to the will
age marshal to be destroyed. 1t is
said that Thurman had no license,
either federal or village, and this
means a serious offense. His father,
Albert Thurman, Sr., is the brewer
at Reedsburg and it would not be diff
ficult to guess where the robin hop"
came from. Just what became of the
beer has not been learned in BaraboO.
The beer business is not all. The
father has never taken out his second
papers, the report says, and the son
did not register as an alien. This
makes him an alien enemy. MOre-he
voted at the village election last
spring and swore in his vote, the re-
port says He was challenged and
this also may come up.
1t is claimed he made $4,000 out of
his joint last year, was recently mar
ried, and drives blue car
A federal officer says the case will
go to the grand jury. The main Of
fense is serious and it will not be an
easy matter to get out of the tangle.

USE OF ADDRESSES GIVES FOE
VALUABLE INFORMATION.
Pershing Says Units at the Front Are
Identified Through PubIica-
ton of Names

Washington, March 1.-THE war de-
partment has ruled that the military
casualty lists to be made public in
newspapers shall not include the emer-
gency addresses-the names and adj
dresses of relatives or friends.
The committee on public informa-
ton, of which George Creel is chair
man, has refused to put out the cas-
ualty lists through it's news channels
unless they include the emergency ad-
dress.
The committee takes the ground
that q mere list of names without
means of Identification is not public
information
Orders from the White House may
be necessary to straighten out the
matter.
Reports of casualties continue to ar
rive at the war department and have
been offered to the committee on pub
lie information in abridged form for
dissemination through the regular
news channels. They merely give the
mems names and ranks.
When Mr.. Creel and the chiefs of
the news division learned that merely
the names were to be given out they
decided that the committee would not
publish the lists.

LITTLE PRAIRIE DOGS.
q MARY GRAHAM Bonner

1.-THE prairie dogs" said Daddy, 'are
very, very small. They look like tiny
woodchucks, and they are cousins of
the woodchuck family.
"They had been asleep all winter,
but now that the warmer days were
coming, they wanted to get up. All
the baby prairie dogs arrived in the
spring. and they wanted to have their
homes in readiness to welcome the lit
tie ones.
But one day one of the prairie dogs
was missing from his home. Young
Master Prairie was the one who was
missing. They searched high and low
for him, but never sign of him
could they find.
'They missed him sadly, and they
felt they knew that harm had come to
him. Master Prairie would never have
stayed away from home on his own
account
And to be sure, coyote had cap
tured him.
Let me gor Master Prairie had
screamed, but the coyote paid no at
tention.
Let me CO. Master Prairie begged
as the cruel teeth grabbed his little
body.
He barked and then he cried:
Have pity, coyote, have pity! My
home is so nice. My family loves me
So
But the coyote said viciously, L
love you, too. l love you so much l
am going to eat you up
oh, please don't eat me up said

System in Finland.

Petrograd, March 13.-The govern

the bolshevik government, offsetting
the German treaty with thes White
guards in Finland.
In Finland the German police and
military system is invoked against the
people. The newspapers have been
suppressed. Workingmen's organiza-
tons have been dispersed, and hun
dreds arrested. Many are reported exc
cuted in Esthonia. Most violent per-
secutions were reported from Riga.
