Chicago, and had some of those dry

The NauvOo fellow who is said to
have made seditious utterances on
divers occasions Is said to have been
reported to the proper authorities,
who will take the matter up and deal
with the culprft as the case deserves.
Mrs. Mary eBruegger, Of Nauvoo, re-
ceived letter from her son, Everett,
who is somewhere over the pond fight
ing for the honor of his country, in
which he states that he Is enjoying
fairly good health, and writes some
things about the country, but has little
else to say about the war or himself.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Wolf, of Nauvoo,
were married sixty-three years ago
last Saturday and the event was OBJ
served in quiet manner.
AS is usually the case. there were
quite a few disappointed looks on the
faces of strangers who visited Nauvoo
last Tuesday and found that 1t was
election day and the wet goods shops
were all closed.
The Nauvoo band may be revived
again as soon as warm weather comes
to stay. Outside assistance has Jeen
volunteered and Of that kind that will
make the band as good rs Of yore,
when summer free open air concerts
were given on Saturday nights and
which were the cause of bringing
numerous strangers within our gates.
If the scheme now in hand does not
fail to bring the famous band to birth
again 1t surely will revive things in
grand old Nauvoo.
Nauvoo's canning factory filled car
order for peas, which were sent east
for the United States government.
There isn't better product canned
on the face Of the globe than is pre-
pared by the Nauvoo canning factory.

Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

BRIGHTON, Colo, March 7.-The Rev. Garret J. Burke and Mrs. Irene Nolan, testifying at the trial of Frank H. Mulligan, former Denver city de- tective, here today both identified Philip Cohen, wholesale produce dealer of Sterling, Colo, as the man who held them up at the Model road house January ?, last, and took watch from the minister and $3,400 in jewelry from Mrs. Nolan.
 Following the exposure of the affair Burke was relieved of his Denver par ish by Bishop John H. Tihen.
 Mulligan is on trial on an indictment which charges him with participating in the robebry. Cohen is awaiting trial on the same charge as are Abe Sisak and Jacob Fineberg of Denver. Fine berg is proprietor of the road house.
 According to the testimony of Burke he had been making New Years calls and about II o'clock on the night of January 1 visited the home of Mrs. Nolan. Later he took her out in his automobile for an airing and lost his way and seeing a light in the road house stopped there at about ? a. m. to telephone for aid to Denver because of trouble he was having with his machine.
 Entering the place he testified that they went into a private dining room and did not leave because of not wish ing to be seen by crowd of merry makers who were standing about the bar. At about o'clock when they de- cided to leave, he said, was the time of the holdup.

NEW YORK, March Earl Read ing, special British ambassador to the United States. addressing a luncheon of the Merchants association here to- day, dwelt upon the bond of sympathy which has been established between the United States and Great Britain as the result of the desire on the part of both nations "to attain a higher moral elevation for humanity" He told, with evident emotion, of the great sac rifices that already have been made by Great Britain and France, adding, T pray that your sacrifices never will be BIS great as ours.'
 Earl Reading said Great Britain had put her all into the truggle--treasure, labors, and many lives-and that there could be only one result, the triumph of the allied cause. He eXtolled the character of the American people, their love for justice and liberty, and assert ed that the United States apart from all the great resources and the moral inspiration it has been to the allies, has clarified our vision for us.'

 Moral Force of Nation
 Lord Reading said he realized now, better than ever before, how great, how signal a force is the moral force in this country. I doubt whether it has been quite realized abroad. I am not sure that even in my own country we have quite understood until this war, the high spiritual level for which we are striving. But I will say this to you, that day after day I am more and more impressed with it, that we see the same vision that we are striv- ing for the same goal, that we are working together for liberty. that is, for freedom, for humanity liberty with order preserved according to the will of a majority of the gov erned"
 United States-World Power
 Alluding to the entrance of the Unit ed States into the arena as a great world power. the ambassador said:
 ''Once again you will have attained the high ideal: you will have taken this time d place amongst nations which, possibly. many of you nevei thought will happen; but you will have done it holding on high the banner of liberty, calling to all to follow that banner-pointing out that when Amer ica does fight, it is not for aggression it is not for territory, it is not foI conquest, it is not for vanity or for any dynasty, but that it fights alone fol liberty for the benefit of humanity"

 FOUR BY NEW RULE
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, March [. - Re- classification according to physical condition of the men called in the next army draft is provided in re- vised instructions for medical ad- visory boards which are being sent to the local boards throughout the country. The new regulations, made public tonight, require that every man summoned before the board shall be placed in one of the fol- lowing four classes:
 A-Acceptable for general military service
 B-Acceptable for general military service after being cured of reme- dial defect.
 C-Acceptable for special or linn ited military service in a specified capacity or occupation.
 D-Rejected and exempted from any military service.
 It is the intention of the provost marshal general to provide later for the further investigation and classi- fication of the men acceptable for limited or special service so that record may be made of the sort of work each of these men may be assigned to do without endangering his health.
 Under the new regulations many ailments and defects which gained exemption of draft men in the past now will result only in their being listed in group B. Such men, if they choose, will be given the priv ilege of securing the services of their family physicians in the effort to re- move the defect but if they have not availed themselves of this privi- lege within a specified time, they will be called into military service and ordered to a cantonment base hospital, a reconstruction hospital or to a civic hospital, as may be designated by the surgeon general.

MORE SUBS SUNK IN DECEMBER IF
 1917 THAN BUILT
American Authorities Are
 Satisfied with Weapons
 Used Against ''U-Boats" But Construction Is Slow
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 7.-More submarines were destroyed by the al- lies and American naval forces in De- cember than Germany was able to build during that month, according to infor- nation reaching Washington. This fact developed today in discussions of the statement made to parliament on Tuesday by Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the British admiralty, that the sub marines were being checked
 Whether succeeding months have shown net loss 'in German subma- rines is not known here. It is believed. however, that the anti-submarine cam paign has proved so effective that in creased efforts this spring will see a steady decrease in the number of of U-boats available to prey on allied and American shipping.
 What officials know of plans for pressing home the attack with in- creasing vigor explains the feeling of optimism that prevails in official cir cles despite continued heavy drains on ship tonnage through the U boats. The gradual decline in tonnage losses was graphically pictured to parliament by Sir Eric with curve charts.
 Satisfied With Weapons American naval officials appear to be satisfied that the weapons with which they expect to crush finally the submarine menace are forthcoming Increased numbers of patrol vessels of various types, appliances and devices to make them more effective against under water craft and the increased skill of navy personnel are among the things upon which they count It has l taken time to devise and build the weapons, but they are beginning to be- come available.
 When the United States entered the war, the navy contributed promptly al that it had available to join in the submarine hunt. Sir Eric paid higf tribute in his remarks to the spirit an6 efficiency of American naval units crediting them with a fair share o1 what had been accomplished. Vice Admiral Sims destroyer forces have constituted only the advance guard O. what the American navy planned tt furnish for the fight.
