SOLDIER KILLED
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Enoeh Hoslund Victim of Accident
on Way Home for 4 Fwloush.

One of Willmars first volunteer
soldiers, Private Enoch ,Hoglund, son
OF Mr.. August w. Hoglund, residing
at 416 Kandiyohi Avenue West, was
killed in an auto accident last night
short distance west of Litchfield.
Private Hoglund had Just been
granted a sixteen day furlough from
Fortress Monroe, Virginia. He had
spent day with brother and sister.
1n-law at Minneapolis, Mr.. and Mrs.
Victor Hoglund. In company with
them he left Minneapolis yesterday
afternoon by auto for Willmar antici-
pat1ng most pleasant reunion of the
family.
When east of Ltchf1eld the car was
stalled. A stranger coming along
pulled them into Litchfleld where they
succeeded in starting the car again.
The stranger offered to keep an eye
open for them and help them further
If necessary. All three occupants
were in the seat, Prvt. Hoglund was
driving. In turning sharp curve at
a very moderate speed the machine
skidded, hung in the balance a second
or two and then overturned, pinning
the occupants down. The steering
wheel caught Enoch and he was crush
ed so badly that he died almost In.
stantly. When asked by his sister-in-
law how he was, he said Emma, EN-
ma" and then all was still. With great
effort Victor was able to get out from
under the car and later to release his
wife. Mrs. Hoglund sustained bad
cut In the face and q bruised limb.
About the time that the survivors
had extricated themselves, the strang-
er was back looking for them. They
we're taken to Willmar, and the body
of the victim of this sad accident was
taken to Ltchfield, from whence 1T
will arrive on this afternoons train.
This sad death was a shock to the
entire community. Enoch Hoglund
was one of the first contingent of vol
unteers who left Willmar, April %,
1917, soon after the war broke out,
and had thus been in the service
seventeen months. He was a fine boy,
well thought of and a favorite. He
was twenty-five years of age last, Feb
ruary. He is mourned by his father,
the following brothers and sisters:
Walter, David, Victor, Ida and Marie,
and large number of other rela-
tives. The family have the profound
sympathy of all in their deep sorrow.

SAINT 9th 1910

Sept. 9TH, 1913.
Editor, Tribune:
Sunday evening and nothing at all
to do SO thot would write The Tri-
bune a short letter. I am feeling
fine. The weather here is change
able. Last week we were unable to
sleep nights because of the cold. It
has been raining for the past four
days, so tomorrow we will have to
drill in the red mud. This mud sticks
to everything and makes the grounds
bad for drilling. We do not drill on
Saturdays. Have our regular tent
inspection in the forenoon on Satur-
days and at eight O'Clock on Friday
evenings. We expect to receive our
new uniforms and have over-sea equip
ment strapped to our backs. We are
not allowed to carry anymore than
what the government gives US. We
have our guns, they are the Springfield
armOry guns and are interesting OBJ
jects to US all. There are two hun
dred soldiers in Company D, Pioneer
infantry. There are five boys In my
tent and all, except myself, are from
Minneapolis. We have some good
times at camp here. Quite a few of
the Kandiyohi County boys who were
in the Anti-Aircraft at Camp Wads-
worth have gone across now.
Respectfully yours,
Marcus O. Solberg.

1ALLDTMENTS OF FUEL

Delay in Delivery Caused by Tenn.
porary Collapse of Screening
Plant at Duluth.

Mr.. D. N. Tallman and Gov. A. e,
Rice Of the County Fuel Committee
have been active in looking up the
coal situation and report that delay
In delivery has been due to the COL
lapse fof the concrete foundations of
the coal screening plant at Duluth.
This damage has now been repaired.
The coal. for the first allotment is
there and will reach the consumers in
due time.
However, the fuel commission en-
phasizes the necessity for conserving
the supply of hard coal as much as pos
sible by using wood or soft coal in
heating plants during the fall and
early winter.

pep and this trip to them is a lark and
an outing and they show their appre-

Returned Soldiers to Speak.
The train also carry soldiers who
have seen service in fighting the Hun
in France and Belgium and who have
been sent home because of wounds
There is Alfred H. O'Connor who went
with the first 100000 troops that Great
Britain sent to stem the avalanche of
Huns through Belgium into France.
He passed through so many battles
that a fight with the Prussians be-
came to him like a breakfast appetiz-
err. He was seriously wounded, left for
dead on the battlefield, rescued and
nursed back to life. He was decorated
by King George V for gallantry
in action and especially mentioned by
President Wilson.
Then there is Leslie w. Davis of
Kentucky, man who has seen service
in Cuba and the Philippines, but who
answered the call Of the Stars and

The Mystery Of wilheIm's Alleged
Abdication.

So far the world has only the word
Of an alleged revolutionary Govern.
ment Of Germany and the physical
presence in foreign country of
WILHELM HoHENzoLIERN to substan-
tiate the declaration that the Kaiser
has indicated as King Of Prussia and
German Emperor. It has been as.
serted that he retains the title of
Count, and by some It Is reported that
he clings also to the state OF Mar
grave of Brandenburg.
The singular fact remains. how
ever, that no document bearing the
sign manual Of WILHELM HoHENzoL-
LERS renouncing his authority and
power as German Emperor and King
of Prussia has been given to the pub.
lie In his behalf or In behalf Of the
people Of Germany.
This curious omission Is the more
worthy Of remark because the paper
In which CHARMS Of Austria re-
mitted his authority has been pub
llshed throughout the world.
1t cannot be argued that an EN-.
barge on official utterances from Ger.
many has prevented the communica.
ton of the text Of WTLHELM's abdi-
cation to the belliserent and neu.
trail peoples. The various channels
for the dissemination Of news from
Berlin are VIGOROUSLY free. The
propagandists, headed by Herr SoLF.
find them ample for the circulation
Of their documents. Yet not one
word Of the supremely important
writing by which the head of the
Hohenzollern Is declared TO have quit
his imperial and kingly offices has
reached the deeply interested peoples
Of other nations.
Why Is the Wolff Bureau, official
vehicle for the transmission Of Kul-
tur to the far ends Of the earth, 81.

ternatlonal import?

which they have become accustomed?
They have seen enough of It to
know, better than the returned soldier
will know, whether the sallor's life Is
the life for them. Some may be of n
mind with that classic individual who,
after year in the British blockading
service, sloshing around all too idly.
declared that after the war he was
going to put an oar on his shoulder
and walk inland until somebody asked
him what was the piece of wood he
carried; and there he would stay for
the rest of his life. But that Is the
sailor; always going to quit the sea,
but never quitting.
Whatever comes Of IL the Hurley
idea is pleasant to contemplate. Young
JOHN SMITH may decide, when he
comes to choice of occupations, that
being a commercial traveller Is too
unpleasant Job, what with his stuffy
Pullman berths and the hasty cook
ing In the dining cars. The sea for

est number, until the readjustment on
the normal basis makes n dollar OF
wages, or Of anything else. equivalent
to the true value OF the dollar; makes
days work. however 1t may be ex.
pressed In dollars and cents, worth
the food, the clothes, the shelter. the
recreation, and the other things that
days labor ought to yield.
That Is why 1t is a false doctrine In
economies for the Government to I'M
dertake to 70 on at extravagant costs
with war work which is worth moth.
ing, can be worth nothing to the pub.
lie at large. That Is why tapering of
this war work will not get either the
Government or the industries and the
public through the woods to the peace
clea ring.
II thousand men, or ten thousand
men, or a million men are continued
at making special steel for shells or
rifles or other war purposes, they nrc
simply continued now In an absolutely
useless performance. They are pro-
ducing something that goes not one
inch further than the production It.
self. 1t Is no more useful than when
convicts carry stones from one end of
prison yard to another, pile them
up, take them down, carry them back
and pile them up again.
II those men that arc still contin.
ued I'm producing war material--so as
to taper off-were put back in the
normal fields Of industry. the economic
difference which would follow can be
shown in one example. Let them
ruther make steel, say, for the build
ing industry. Then the work of those
men In the steel mills will make work
also in the building industry for ma .
sons, for carpenters. for plumbers, for
painters and decorators. And then.
best OF all, what they all have pro-
duced, from the steel mill to the fin
ished structure, will be In itself an
economic Garner, an agency Of bust
ness, n creator and distributor Of
wealth. a supporter Of and blessing
to mankind.
Wherefore, the Government cannot
send those war workers back to the
Industrial fields Of peace one minute
too soon. The abnormal, prohibitive
prices OF materials cannot be made
rational one minute too soon. And
when this happens the readjusted
wages that must follow ought to do
more. will. do more. for the workers
Of the nation than they did for them
before the war.
