SING TO SETTLE QUARRELS
Eskimos Have Peculiar Manner Of
Adjusting Their Grievances-En-
envy Must Listen.

The Eskimos, who live In the ice
bound. barren Northland, have a way
of settling quarrels which seems very
strange and amusing to those who live
In land of policemen and courts Of
justice. There, when quarrels arise,
the man who has a grievance writes
song in which he tells the wrongs that
have been done him. When this has
been composed to his satisfaction, he
invites his enemy to come and hear
him sing ii. This the enemy must do,
and he brings with him all his rela-
tives and many of his friends. while
the singer also has gathered his friends
and relatives for the occasion, which
is considered something of a general
entertainment by the people of the vii
lage in which the men live.
Then, while other men of the village
pound madly on huge drums. the song
of wrongs is begun. When it is fin
ished. if the audience expresses ap-
proval, the singer is considered to have
won and to have just cause of com
plant. But If dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed, that is considered sufficient
punishment. After the song everyone
dances and the party breaks up in
great good humOr.

RAISE FIVE VICE PRESIDENTS
Tyler, Fillmore, johnson, Arthur and
Roosevelt Succeeded on Death
of the President.

Five vice presidents of the United
States have on the death of the presi-
lent succeeded to the higher Office
The first president to die while in office
was William Henry Harrison, grand
father of Benjamin Harrison of In
diana. His death occurred April 4,
1871, just one month after his inaugur-
alton. The vice president, John Tyler.
then at his country home in Virginia,
was officially notified of the event and
on reaching Washington, at once took
the oath of office as president.
AS this was the first case Of the kind
there was much discussion for a time
in and out of congress as to Tyler's
proper title-that is, whether he was
vice president of the United States
acting as president" or president. 1t
was finally conceded on all sides that
the language of the Constitution is
clear that on the death of the presi-
dent in office the vice president be-
comes, in name as in fact, president.
The trainers of the Constitution did
not leave the door open for trouble
that might arise regarding the legality
Of acts done by an acting president"
On the death of President Zachary
Taylor, July 9, 1850, Vice President
Willard Fillmore succeeded to the pres
idency and was at later date an I'M
successful candidate for election to the
office. Andrew Johnson, the third vice
president to succeed to the higher Of
flee, took the oath April Is, 1865, the
day after the assassination of Presi-
dent Lincoln. President Garfield was

The world at last knows just how
and when Germany decided to launch
this stupendous war. On July D, 1914,
a small group of German and Austrian
autocrats met in Berlin and decided
on war in Europe within month.
They agreed to seize the murder OF the
Austrian Crown Prince at SeraJeVo on
June 20 as their opportunity 10 win
German world-power.
The most direct evidence of this
meeting comes from Turkey. Early in
July, 1914, Herr Wangenheim, the
German Ambassador at Constantine
pie, was hastily summoned to Berlin.
When he returned on July Is, he told
the Italian Ambassador, Signor Gar
roni, the purpose of his journey. lie
had attended a meeting of German dip
lomats, military men, and fnanclers,
at which a European war had been de-
cided upon Signor Garroni asked him
what was to be the provocation. He
replied that the Austrian note to
Seryia on the Serajevo murders was
to make impossible demands All this
the Italian Ambassador has reported
officially to his government.
Our own ambassador at CONSTANT
nope, MI. MIL SCilthoNB -
ceived a similar statement. Herr
Wangenheim told him that at the con-
ference in Berlin the date Of the war
had been positively fixed. The Kaiser
had presided. Moltke, the chief OF
staff, the sinister Admiral Won Tirpitz,
the leaders of industry the directors
of railways, the bankers, were all
there, - everyone who could aid the
nh If hn VIZ ready
All answered in the affirmative except
the financiers. They asked for two
weeks in which to unload their foreign
securities and arrange their loans.
This comes straight from an eye-Wlt-
ness.
Direct corroborative evidence comes
from the Reichstag. Herr Hasse, the
socialist deputy, in speaking of the or
igins of the war, said, I'VE do not for
get the conference in Berlin on July
5, 1914, and the activity of Won Tirpitz
and Falkenhayn in those days. This
statement fixes the date OF Herr Wan
genheim's conference.
There is abundant circuinstantial
evidence From July 10 to July 25,
1914, all the great stock exchanges in
the world experienced an acute and
mysterious depression. Experts then
could not explain the decline. Now we
know that the German bankers were
unloading their foreign securities.
German owned stocks were quietly
pushed into the market. Prices tu1n-
bled.
German and Austrian diplomats dur
ing those two weeks acted like men
about to spring a trap. They deliber-
ately lulled everyone into sense OF
false security. The Kaiser went to his
yacht in Norway. The Chancellor left
Berlin for a rest The same trick was
turned in 1870 when Bismark was pre-
pairing to strike France.
Austria practised even more posi-
tive deceit Count TisZa, later the

Germanys Secret War Council
By O. l. CAMPBELL Jr, Assistant Professor of English,
University of Wisconsin
Published under direction

Austrian premier, admitted to Col. S.
S. Mcclure that Austria believed that
its attitude toward Servia made the
chances of Russia's interference about
f1fty-ffty. Yet her diplomatiStS kept
assuring the world that there was no
danger whatever of war. Viviani, the
French Prime Minister, declared on
Aug. 4, 1914, that the Austro- Hunga-
rian government had repeatedly given
assurance that it's demands on Servia
would be extremely moderate. Aus
tria even deliberately deceived one Of
her own allies. Berchtold, the Aus
trian foreign minister, while he was
preparing the provocative note to
Servia which brought on the war, as
sured the Italian Ambassador at vi
emma that the situation was not grave.
These are not the actions of a nation
with a just cause. They constitute q
criminal plot to spring a European
war.
Germany knew all along that she
was going to force a general European
war out of the Servian crisis. On
July 81, the transatlantic steamer,
Kronprinzessin Cecelie, received a
wireless" in cipher "War has bro
ken out with England, Russia and
France. Return to New York.. The
message was sent out four days be-
fore England came into the war and
while Germany was ostensibly making
every effort to avert general conflict.
Austria had wished to settle" the
Servian question as early as the au-
tumn of 1913. Then she suggested to
Giolitti, the Italian minister of For
eign Affairs, that his country join her
in an attack on Servia. Italy declined.
and Austrian statesmen were COM
PEELED to wait for such an excuse as
the murders at Serajevo gave them
Long before this crime, Germany
had decided that the day was to come
sometime during the second part of
1914. The year before she had bought
one-half of Americas output of COP
per. In the same year the German
Imperial Bank had made an extraor-
binary increase in it's purchases of
gold. In 1911 it was TIA million
marks; in 1912, 173 million marks:
but in 1913 it was 317 million
marks. In May and June, 1914, she
called her resewists back from Asia
and Africa. In June arms for cruis-
ers were sent to Buenos Aires. On
June Is contracts were let in America
for coaling cruisers at sea in August
and September.
The murder of the Austrian Prince
was Germany's opportunity. The Kai-
ser and his military advisers dared
not miss this chance. So small
group of men sat down together and
planned how d murder committed by
an irresponsible fanatic could be made
to embroil Europe. So dire an exer-
else of autocratic power the modern
world has never seen. That council
cynically decreeing disaster and death
to millions of men is autocracy AZ
work. Against that America is fight
ing.

A Bilious Attack

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tons. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stom-
ach instead of digesting. This infiames
the stomach and causes nauseau, vom-
iting and a terrible headache. Take
Chamberlain Tablets. They will tone
up your liver, clean out your stomach
and you will soon be as well as ever.
They only cost a quarter.

BUY WASH GOODS NOW!!
We. Firmly Believe Every Piece of Wash Goods on Our Shelves Will Cost More

The law of supply and demand is the cause for the statement made above. Until the war broke out cottons were not so much Tn use during the winter months-woolens having first call During the past season, however, with the Government appealing for the con- servation of wool, women periodically took to the less necessary of the two. So that the supply for the summer months to come will be less than heretofore. Supply less, price more That is the nvariable result of the law of supply and demand.
 In view of the very logical arguments above, we not only suggest to our customers, but urge them that they buy their wash materials now for Summer and Spring cotton frocks and have them on hand. Youll thank us for the advice later on.

Is Charged with 0bstruct- ing Draft by Offering to Remove Eye of
 a Patient.
WANTED TO GET MONEY
Alleged in Another Case That He Refused Exam- inati0n to Recruit
 Because of Bill.

pr. Joseph Weyerhorst, of Doug
 las, was this morning indicted by he Grand Jury for obstructing the
 lraft under the Espionage act on two counts and was ordered into ,ourt for arraignment.
 The indictment against Weyer- lorst charges that on April 18th one Mike Avoian Manyoff was or lered before the doctor for exam nation, that Weterhorst was the regular examining physician of the Douglas Exemption board and that Manyoff was ordered up for exam
 nation by the board. and that Wey- erhorst repeatedly refused to make
 he required examination. The ease attracted considerable atten- ion at the time Weyerhorst was first arrested and tried before Com missioner N. l.. Burton.
 On the second count Weyerhorst is charged with having offered to operate on F. J. Henson by remov- ing one eye which would prevent his passing the physical examina- ilOu. Ine lHulCtHleHt cHdTSeS ttldt Weyerhorst on April 30th said to MT. Henson: "I could remove your eye and then you wouldn't have to go'
 In the Manyoff case pr. Weyer- horst is said to have refused to ex- anime the man until he paid $25 which Weyernorst alleged was due as back bill. Manyoff referred the matter to Captain J. T. Hunt and Governor Strong. They advised him to return with witnesses and try again to get examined. Manyoff did so and in his testimony alleged that Weyerhorst asked him if he had the money with him. On his replying that he did not. Weyer- horst ordered him and his witness to leave the office and not to come back until he had the money.
