German Editor Says Flay Kaiser in
His 0w9 language.

Carl A. Meder, editor and pub
Usher of the German Journal, a
weekly newspaper of Terre
Haute, Ind,, has written to the
county council of defense a state
ment saying that he believed
that he could do more
patriotic work if he continued to
print the Journal in the German
language than if he changed to
English, as a committee from the
county council of defense asked
him to do several days ago. Me-
der said: IF the German in this
country is to be taught to hate
the kaiser, instead of adoring
him, and if the German in this
country is to be made to hate the
rule that is being inflicted on his
relatives, he must be told why in
the German language, the lam
guage he understands. "-Ex.

How the Indian Kept Warm.

When the Indian was on the
warpath for any length of time
in cold weather he had a very in
genious and simple process of
keeping warm. He could not
build a fire without giving his To-
cation away, so at night the par
ty would dig a number of holes
about three feet deep, and in the
bottom kindle a fire of burnt
wood (charcoal). Then in spoke
fashion they would lie around
the hole with their legs hanging
down over the fire and go to
sleep. This kept their toes COM
fortably toasted without warn
ing the enemy as to his where
abouts.

The shooting down Of a German

cially confirmed.
Lieut.. Buford was flying over the

German flyers. He drove for one
of them. The German maneuvered
and attempted to get Buford in be-
tween the other German machines. The
American eluded the. German and
swung homeward.
He was confronted by one Boche
and he shot him down just as two
others came mp. Buford's gun iammed
as he turned on the two others. He
dived beneath both of them and es-
capped, returning to his own lines.
