Report that Halle Lar
son is Missing in Action
Mag BE Mistake

The report Of Private Halle A.
Larson, as missing in action on July
18 in the battle of the Marne, may
be viewed from different aspect ac-
cording to letter received this week.
The letter was from Private Larson
and written to his mother. 1t will be
recalled that the last letter Mrs. Lar
son had received from her son before
the official notice Of his disappearance
arrived was from the hospital where
he was confined on account of having
rheumatism in his feet. The letter
which arrived this week was written
July 21 from the same hospital and
saida nothing whatever of being in
action. The government notice gave
the date of his missing in action as
July 18. It is rather hard to reconcile
the two reports, but of course, it is
highly preferable that the govern
ment has made a mistake this time
and that Private Larson is safe. A
report from the Red Cross at Wash
ington announced to Mrs. Larson that
her son had not yet been located,
which farther complicates matters.
Mrs. Larson, herself, is of the opinion
that her son is safe.

The prohibition victory, which
brings the total number of dry
counties in Minnesota to sixty -one,
as against twenty-five remaining

Grafton Tuesday asserted that about
thirty-fve saloons must close in
Mankato as a result Of the election,
and fifteen more in Good Thunder,

Another result of the election will
be that large liquor trade into

supply farther north, according to
prohibition leaders.

alton had been campaigning in Man.

There are crimes of various degrees
but one of the most reprehensible
acts of vandalism is the, willful des.

Last week the Sieben threshing rig
was operating upon the farms OF
Henry, Ferd and Louis Borgmann.
Some n1iscreant placed eleven bundles
of horseshoes in the shocks ON the

shoes were carefully .sewed mp. In

bunches were found on the Henry

We're fed into machine with nominal
damage. =
There has been nauch speculation
as TO the motive back of the crime.
Ferd Borgmann has served the gov
eminent as one of the members Of
the local draft board, and the first
thought was that some one had be-
come incensed because ofsthe rulings
Of the draft board and were out to
make trouble for the Borganapn fam
lily This issvery likely TIE wrong
angle from which to view the crime.

cussion Of the peace with which the
Germanlc people apparently are clam
orlng. Hence the bclated attempts of
the cmpcrors to erect structure of
real democratic government through
the creation Of cabinets responsible to
the parllaments In the hope that with
these the entente statesmen will be
willing to confer about peace.
Indications of such purpose are
discerned by American officials in va
rious utterances and acts of the Ger
man and Austrian leaders. In his ac-
ceptance of the resignation of Premier
Won Hcrtling, Emperor William ap-
pealed to The strong men of Germany
to come to his aid and share the bur
dcns OF government, direct bid for
the support Of the socialists and cen
tcrists in return for participation in
the cabinet
Then there are the statements in
leading German newspapers indignant
because they passed the scrutiny of
the German censors, that the creation
Of a responsible cabinet is under con
SldcratiOn. Next is the refusal Of the
Socialists to enter the government as
at present constituted. AS a half way
measure and in desperate effort to
save the imperial prcrogativc, Emperor
William has already tried the cxpedi-
cnt OF himself selecting leaders of the
opposition parties for minor places in
the cabinet and promising to forward
the enactment of popular measures.
But the Socialists have generally &c.
clined to accept anything short Of alb
sOlute control through the rcichstag
of the cabinet without reference to the
wishes Of the emperor.
Such change in Germany doubt
less would be followed, if not indeed
precedc by a similar revolution in Aus
trian parliamentary government, and
it is fully expected that as soon as
real representative government is a
fact in the central empires there will
be an irresistible movement towards
peace. even on the terms laid down by
President Wilson
