THE KAISFR'S ABDICATION
Rev. ]. Thomas Price.

The news has reached us from afar.
Confirmed by men Of state
That Kaiser Bill. Of royal fame,
as forced to abdicate
IN arnIisticc terms received from ioch
He saw what was hi. fate
And for the Fathcrland he thought
Twas best 10 ahdirate.
When bearing that the flag Of rcd
Ilcw o'cr the German state
For personal reasons, all his own,
lie said abdicatc
Oh. Wilhelm, once the mighty one,
Who thought no foe 50 great
As to be able TO dethrone
And bring you to this fate
You should have known the I. s. A.,
With armied millions strong:
With purpose right, would gladly fgh
For right against the wrong.
Remember. as you SOW you reap
This law no one can break,
And he who challenges Gods laws,
Must surely abdicatc.

We do not question the power of the
President to negotiate treaties through
the agency Of delegates; but all Their
acts arc subject to his approval, inasmucll
ms he alone can make treaties by and
with the advice and consent of the Senate.
This is very different thing from dele

during his absence in foreign land,
without any personal Intervention or the
exercise Of any personal judgment on his
part. Such delegation Of authority
is not warranted by the Constitution :

Lieut.. LauterbaCh
Gets CaptainCy
J. w. LAUTERBACH RECEIVES
CAPTAINS COMMISSION AND
WILL COMMAND co. I

John Lauterbach of Redwood Falls,
who has for some time past been
First Lieutenant, has received from
Washington headquarters his COM
mission as captain, according to a
telegram to The Gazette, received
Monday morning. This commission
has long been expected and Captain
Lauterbach is to be heartily congrat-
ulated upon receiving what he has
so well earned.
in command Of Company /, the COM
pany which has been under his charge
for the past several weeks. This is
the Owatonna Company, one of the
finest in the division. Captain Lau-
terbach has also, until recently had
the command of Company B, the
Fairmont Company with which he
was very successful. Although nomi-
nally still serving as First Lieuten-
ant of Company L, the Captain has
been commanding various companies
as captain for the several months
and has proved himself very COM
petent and capable in this capacity.
Redwood Falls citizens are much
gratified that this justly deserved
honor has finally been conferred up
on "John" who has been faithful to
every trust throughout his entire time
of service with Company L. He en-
listed with the guards here many
years ago, has always shown the
makins" of an excellent military man
and leader of men, He was counted
one of the best drill masters in the
service while at Llano Grande dur
ing the Mexican trouble, and his ex-
perience and success for the past few
months with the companies at Camp
Cody has justified this judgment.

0. W. Grapp Dies
Sunday Evening
HEART TROUBLE AND GRIPPE
CAUSE DEATH OF REDWOOD
BUSINESS MAN

0. W. Grapp died at his home here
at nine o'clock last Sunday evening,
death being accused by valvular heart
trouble from which Mr.. Grapp had
suffered for many years, the end be-
ing hastened by an attack of the
grippe which he contracted Satur-
day. Funeral services will be held
at the residence at three o'clock
Thursday afternoon, and interment
will be made in the Redwood Falls
cemetery. DR.; E; G; Horn Of the
Redwood Falls Methodist Church
will officiate at the burial service.
Otto w. Grapp was born at Wa
SEGA, Mimi. November Z, 1874, spend
ing his youth and early manhood
there. When he was twenty -one
years of age he was married to Miss
Myrtle Brown. To this union was
born one son, Floyd Grapp. Mrs.
Grapp died in California when her
son was fourteen months old. In
1902, Mr.. Grapp married Miss Cora
Woodland, and one child, Lucille, was
born to this union. Both the children
and Mrs. Grapp survive the husband
and father.
In 1904 Mr.. and Mrs. Grapp came
to Redwood Falls where they have
since been engaged in the furniture
and undertaking business. Mr.. Grapp
had always shown great ability and
energy in all lines of building and
mechanical work and his home and
business here are a testimonial of
his skill. With the assistance of his
son, who possesses much the same
genius in these lines that his father
did, he built the pretty home now
occupied by the family, completing
it in 1914 Since then they have
made important additions and i'm
provements to their store building
and last year Mr.. Grapp built an
auto hearse which has attracted
much admiration for it's artistic ap-
pearance. Mr.. Grapp has successful
ly conducted his business here, hav-
ing in Mrs. Grapp most able as
sistant. He was a member of the
Methodist Church of Redwood Falls
and was affiliated with the Masonic,
Odd Fellows and Workman orders.
Besides his wife, son and daugh-
ter, Mr.. Grapp is survived by his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Grapp of Min
neapolis, one sister and six brothers,
one of the brothers being DR.. G. l..
Grapp of Redwood Falls. All his fam
lily is expected to arrived in Red
wood Falls to attend the service
Thursday afternoon.
While Mr.. Craps immediate fam
lily has known for some time that
his physical condition was serious.
his townsmen did not realize until
his death that he was seriously ILL.,
He consulted specialist in Mime
apolis last week and was told at that
time to return home as soon as pos
sible, and given little encouragement
that he would live for any length of
time.

DIR. BERGAN AND LIEUT.. STREET
TO SPEAK AT ARMORY WE'D
NESDAY, APRIL 10

Much disappointment was ex-
pressed in Redwood Falls last week
over the postponement of the pa
triotic talk which was announced for
last Wednesday evening, DR.. ]. T.
Bergan, the speaker of the evening
having been kept away by the crit
ical illness Of a member of his fam

to Redwood Falls today, Wednesday
April 10, and will speak at the ar
mory, at eight o'clock.
With DR.. Bergan will be Lieuten-

HAS only recently returned from over
seas duty at the front. Lieutenant
Street is one of the officers who re-
Gently returned to Canada for fur
lough after spending three years in
the trenches. His experiences are
manifold and some of them he will
tell at the meeting tonight.
The evening will be one full of in
terest to every loyal American and
one which every loyalist will delight
to attend. There will be no admis-
sion charged, the expenses Of the
meeting being betrayed by the Amer
lean First League under whose au-
spices the gentlemen come. Every
one is invited to attend the meeting
which will be both interesting and
profitable. The men both have mes
sages of vital Importance at this
time and should be welcomed by a
crowded house.
