"All grains are reported to be in

trict court denied the petitions of
Rev. w. A. Cappius, of Dodge, and
Rev. F. G.. Schopp, of Snyder, enemy
aliens. to preach and teach. The two
priests were denied permits two
weeks ago. but on application were
granted rehearings. They were rep
resented by an attorney, and County
Attorney HI. C. Cook acted for the
state council of defense.
Both priests evaded questions re-
garding Germany's rights and obli-
cations in this war. They did not
believe the stories of atrocities Ger
mar soldiers are charged with. They
both said their sympathies are with
the United States. Two weeks ago,
it is alleged, they said they were with
both sides. The priests said they did
not believe Germany justified In
sinking the Lusitania. They thought
the kaiser should be punished. but
would not say that he should be de-
throned. They do not believe In rev-
olutions, and a revolution would be
required to dethrone the German em-
peror, they asid.
Judge Button a applauded by
the crowd that gathered in the court
room for the ~rehearing.

The executive committee of the
Red Cross, III. H. Holdridge, S. T.
May and Rev. C. McKibbin, met to-
day before the county commission
ers with a proposal for the extension
of the levy for Red Cross funds that
they might come out of the county
general fund. The amount asked by
the society for Lake county is $500.
This on a county valuation of $751;
600 900, would make the individual
contribution one of comparative in
s~ignifancec, and is thought to be the
most equitable distribution of the
burden. A bill passed by the extra
session of the state legislature auth
orizes such contributions by the coun-
ties. The commissioners expressed
themselves as being individually
agreeable to such a means, and only
awaited the opinion of the states at
torney to confirm the act of appro-
priation from the general fund, or
such fund as was available. other
counties have already declared them
selves as doing this, and Minnehaha
is about to make a large appropria-
tion in this way.

London, May 13.-All German
prisoners captured in France say that
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is
dead, letters from British officers on
the western front report. according
to the Daily Express. At the same
time, the name of Gen. Won Macken-
sen is brought into prominence.
The Express assumes that the Won
H~indenburg story is circulated to ex-
plain the failure of the great often
sive.

statement.
Paris, May 13.-Active artillery
fighting in Picardy on both sides of
the Avre river is reported in today's
official statement.
Washington, d. c., May 13.-As-
a in their ability to stem the
tide of German force grows among
the allied leaders as the enrmy de-
lays a renewal of his Offensive from
day to day. With the French re-
serve almost intact, it has been de-
cided not to incorporate the Amer
lean army in the Anglo-French ar
mics at this time and not to use it
until it is complete and self-sustain-
ing.
Washington has no official con-
firmation of this report, received in
ottawa in the form of a summary OF
a report issued by the British war
cabinet, but qualification is felt that
the American army will be able to
meet the foe as an entirety. When
the German menace against Amiens,
Paris and the channel ports became
so serious and Gen. Foch assumed
supreme command, all available
American troops were offered the
generaiissimo. A large number were
rushed to the important battle line
and a sector west of Montdidier is
now held by American soldiers.

rHE QUESTION oF GAME

Several Of our good sportsmen friends
object strenuOusly to a plan to limit the
number of quail for days shooting to
six or eight and also to the catch Of bass
t. about this same number. They claim
that this would not provide sufficient
sport.
Is there a sportsman in Delaware
whose table would not be we'll supplied
for two days with a half dozen or eight
quail2 Is there a sportsman whose
table would not be we'll supplied with a
half dozen or eight bass for a period Of
one or two days?
Why should game be wantonly de-
stroyed? The sportsman may answer
that he likes to present his friends with
a little game now and then-but listen,
oh We sportsman-"it is not being done"
to any great degree.
considering the number Of birds that
are missed and the number Of bass that
are hooked, but escape. a half dozen or
eight Of either will supply a mighty good
days sport and by going along moderate
lines we will increase our sport instead
Of stamping It out entirely. Unlimited
killing Of game means the final killing Of
it. and within a very short time game
can be eliminated entirely.-Laurel

SEND Cash TO SOLDIERS.

The question Of the shipment Of par
GELS to France first came to the atten-
ton Of the War Department when the
commanding general Of the expeditionary
forces cabsed that congestion Of such ar
ticles had reached such a point that the
French railroads were unable to handle
the load. A board appointed by the
Secretary Of war and the Postmaster
General examined 5000 sacks Of parcels
post mail, and found that the articles
being sent, not only in the main, were
absolutely unnecessary, but undesirable.
The investigation showed that the
amount Of such mail had reach a total
Of 100000 pounds a week and was stead
ily increasing.
Relatives and friends. according 70 a
recent statement by the War DEPART
ment, will find they often can do
greater service to soldiers BY sending
them money for the purchase Of articles
in France than by forwarding the arti-
cles. Tobasco is now being supplied as
part Of the army rations. and merchand-
lse Of nearly all kinds can now be pur-
chased in France through the huge gem
eral store established by the Quarter
master Corps at lower prices than
charged by retaileS here.

taken by some of the interested taxpay-
ers. at the close OF last school term, in
trying 10 arrange for continuing the
term for a month longer, was a very
wise one. The children Of this town de-
serve just as many advantages as the
children OF neighboring towns, and many
children are seen loading for almost a
month. waiting for the strawberry sea-
son. which is almost the first work ac-
complished by the children, especially

sex county. having the attendance as
