BOMB HURLED
At Palace Of TeutOn RuIer-Strlkers
Attack KaIser's Home In Berlin,
But Dispatches Give No De.
talls-LabOr Men Forced
TO Resume Work.

London, February 5-German strik-
ers, seeking the life of the kaiser,
threw a bomb against the imperial
palace In Berlin, say dispatches to the
Journal de Geneva, according to ad-
vices from Switzerland today. No de-
tails OF the bombing were given In the
Geneva dispatches.
German militarism Is still supreme
In the central empires.
Its iron heel today had crushed out
practically the last vetige of resist
ance by the starving, enslaved COM
mon people.
Cowed by the threat of the firing
squad and fearful for the fate of their
women and children through reduc-
tion Of their already meager rations,
the protesting workers had practical
ly all returned to the factories.
Only one isolated case of continued
resistance was reported. That was at
Jena, where the Tageblatt said third
of themen employed there had walked
out Saturday.
There Is disposition among Of
ficials here to regard the waning of
the general strike as only tempor-
airy surcease of the central powers
industrial and political problems.
The work of the extraordinary
courtmartial at Berlin, In imposing
severe penalties on strike leaders, is
expected to provide fuel for further
trouble.
Secret knowledge in the possession
of the British government regarding
conditions in Germany may have in
fuenced the uncomDromrsing atti-
tude adopted by the Interallied Coun-
Gil at Versailles.
Food conditions in the central en-
pires are known to be increasingly
serious.

HOUSEKEEPERS

Do not fail to attend the War Food
Exhibit at the Chamber of Commerce
this afternoon from to o'clock.
Taste the food and take home the re-
cipes. We must practice food conser-
walton or the war will not be won.
The British Food Administrator
Lord Rhondda, recently cabled Mr..
Hoover:
Unless you are able to send the
allies at least 75,OOO,OOO bushels of
wheat over and above what you have
exported up to January 1 and in addi-
ton to the total exported surplus from
Canada, l cannot take the RESPONSE
bility Of assuring our people that
there will be food enough to win the
war"
So let US take advantage of this
excellent opportunity to learn how
best to employ substitutes for wheat
sugar, meat and lard.
This exhibit is under the auspices
Of the Home Economics Department,

THIN ICE MADE NAVIGATION DIFF.
FICULT

The ferryboat Laurance did not
make regular trips yesterday because
of the fact that thin coating Of ice
had formed on the water the previous
night, making navigation difficult. A
few more days Of cold weather like
we have been having would probably
have frozen the river solid again as
the gorge below is still holding fast
and causing the water to flow very
slowly here. With warmer weather in
sight 1t Is thought, however, that the
river will open up soon.

PLAN FRUSTRATED


With The American Army IN France,
Monday, February 4-German plans
to raid the American trenches were
frustrated early this morning. The
American artillerymen put down q
heavy barrage in front Of the German
lines which are believed to have fill-
cd with men and officers, awaiting the
signal to attack.
II was discovered at certain hour
that the Germans intended to carry
out a silent" raid. Fifteen minutes
before the time set all the American
guns concentrated their fire where,
according to the information the en-
emy was massed. 1t Is believed heavy
casualties were inflicted on the Ger
mans.
There has been a general increase
in the artillehry activity for the last
day or 80 all along the American
front. The Germans are still unable
to occupy the first line trenches which
were caved in by the American artil-
lery fire, They have now constructed
another line of trenches at that point
American patrols have worked their
way over No Mans Land and inspect.
ed the damaged trenches as we'll as
they could.
The Germans are using gas shells
freely and endeavored to envelop one
of our battery positions with gas, bu
without success. They have dropped
q number of shells in the roads behint
the American lines.
Two men were reported woundel
today by shells. The visibility re
mains bad.

REGISTRATION OF WOMEN HAS
 NO AGE LIMIT

Through fear that many women in Seward may have a false impression about the registration that is to be taken this week, in regard to age linn 1t, The local WomanS club is very anxious to eniighten all in reference to this matter
 There Is no age lirn't to a woman's capaYiHueS for service to her gov cynment. Many women from 75 to 90 years of age, expert kmtters are do- ing their bit" and have been for many months. All women and girls over sixteen are earnestly asked to show their patriotism by registering.
 There will be no compulsory ser vice attached on account of this reg iStration. The matter is simply vol untary one of service, and the woman who shirlis her country's call to regis ter is as much a stacker as the man who eludes the draft. If, after wo- man registers for a certain kind of scIvlce, her conditions are so changed that she is unable to give this time, there will be no effort or thought of compelling this service. What she does, she does of her own volition and at her own pleasure.
 The women of Seward are awake to the needs of the country and are sup porting their president with all pos sible loyalty. It is a challenge to Germany that the woman power of the land is alive to the issue and ready as the third line of defense.
 Many women, who are rearing their families, have not the strength nor the leisure to do any kind of work aside from the burdens they are now carrying. But they, too, should reg ister, for in rearing family, they are offering the government the most pa triotiC service of which any woman IS Capabie-the caring for and training the children who will be the men and women of tonfoTow, giving them sound minds in strong and healthy bodies.

Blame +

1--WE find that Leslie Warner came
to his death on the evening Of June
% from g. gunshot wound of a gun
in the hands of Edwin Detlefs."
This was the verdict of the coron-
er's@jury,. composed Of Al II. Leim-
bacher, e. P. Cosgrfff and Ed G.. An
derson. rendered following an ad-
journed hearing before pr. Samuel
Mitchell, Mapleton, county coroner
in the office of w. c. Green, assist
ant states attorney. late Wednesday
afternoon. A@
The jury made no finding as to
whether the death wound was in
flicted Intentionally or accidentally
There will be no further hearing in
the case. Detlefs, who Is an escaped
inmate Of the reform school at Man
dan, having been sent up from Fargo
a year ago for incorrigibility, is held
In the county jail pending the arriv-
al of J. M. Devine. superintendent OF
the school. who will take him to the
institution to remain until he attains
his majority.
Witnesses Wednesday could throw
no new light on the shooting They
included several farmers residing
near the scene. but none OF whom
saw the affair. The hearing had
been adjourned from last Friday,
when several witnesses were heard.
Claimed It Accident.
Detlefs, in his story OF the shoot
ing, maintained that it was an acci-
dent In reporting to the police and
the sheriff. he declared that Warner
had the shotgun tied to the saddle
of the horse he rode. and was at
tempting to lasso him when the gun
in some manner discharged. The po-
sition Of the wound. the charge en-
tering back Of the left ear and COM
ing out Of the cheek, and the fact
that the gun was found beside the
body, led to the investigation. Two
witnesses at the first hearing, who
met the two, also testified that War
ner had told them that .Detlefs had
pointed the gun ar him, and that he
had taken it away from him and
pecketed the shell.
The shooting occurred on the road
three miles west OF the Agricultural
college Saturday evening, June %.
Warner was IL years Of age and
Detlefs 16. Detlefs did not testify
at either hearing.
