DEMAND UNCONDITIONAL
SURRENDER BY GERMANY
United Mine Workers of America
Present Peace Views in Tele-
gram to President.

INDIANAPOLIS, October 24.-Noth-
ing but the unconditional surrender of
Germany ought to be- considered, the
United Mine Workers of America said
in a telegram to President Wilson in
stating views on the latest note from
Germany. The message was signed by
William Green, secretary-treasurer of
the organization.
The message says that the Germany
now dSnying the guilt of cruelty and
wanton destruction is the same Ger
many which destroyed hospital ships
and, in bombing raids on London and
Paris killed innocent women and chill
dren. Continuing the message read:
1.-The civilization cannot condone
those offenses. The military rulers
in Germany, realizing defeat is inev-
liable, are attempting to save them
selves. Nothing but unconditional
surrender ought to be considered.
Fortified German towns and cities and
Berlin also ought to be occupied by
allied troops until after all peace
treaties are signed. That would con-
vince the German people of the SUI
periority of the allied forces"
More than $4,000 members Of the
mine workers organisation are in the
Army.

Urges Confscation Of Property.

The custodian intimated that pay
mont in advance of any action TAX en-
at.the peace table would be like OBJ
tatpinE a bird in the hand instead of
elusive birds in the bush. If Congress
adopts Mr.. Palmer's views properly
in the United States will be confis-
Gated and Americanized. This, Mr..
ment of great German industries here,
dealing in absolute essentials, was
fop the long premeditated purpose of
placing the kaiser in an advantage
ouS position in case of war.
Every movement of Germany in this
country. Mr.. Palmer said. was shrewd-
1y calculated long in advance, with a
view to giving the kaiser an indus
trialheld on the nation and place
it for absolute essentials at his
mercy Dyestuffs, mineral, chem
tca1s &nd other commodities were cor
nered, and their ownership skiIlfully
concealed, but their purpose was to
give Germany position in the in
dusxtal life of the nation from which
1t would be impossible to GUST her.
A bill to authorize him to pay out
of the alien enemy property fund the
1osaessstO Americans through German
submarines is in process of prepara-
tion bxMr. Palmer. Mr.. Palmer said
tha4n might be sustained by indi-
vidust Germans. They were working
in .tb6I interests Of their government
and II they want compensation for
their losses let them look to their
government for 1t.
I.hope to be able to pay out Of the
fundS-we seize every dollar that
Americans have sustained through

With approximately seven hundred

Palmer, custodian of alien enemy
property. today celebrated the first
anniversary of his appointment to his
responsible position by annexing a

he has his way not a dollar of the

regards himself something more than
trustee for Germans who think at
the close of the war they will be able

government bonds. Mr.. Palmer wants
Congress to authorize him to use the
money to pay American citizens for

swamps and woods. Lincoln, a men,
Der of Early's company of rangers,
took an active part in all the maneu-
vers, and when word was brought on
the 8th Of July by some Winnebago
Indians that Black Hawk was hiding
in the swamp on an island in Lake
Koshkonong, five miles down the river,
it was Early's company that was sent
to reconnOiter. They crossed the river
on RATS to the island, Lincoln among
them, but the willy Hawk had flown.
This happened on the 9th of July.
They returned up the river to the main
command, and on the 10th Of July Lin
coin was mustered out of service. The
next day he started out with his COM
panions for his home in Illinois. That
night his own horse and that of one
of his comrades was stolen, and the
rest of the distance was made on foot.
Lincoln was very fond of talking in
later life of his experiences In the
Black Hawk war. On one occasion,
in the fall of 1859, he was making
speeches in Wisconsin. After speak
ing at Beloit he was conveyed by car
riage to GAINESVILLE They traveYsed
the same route as that taken by the
army in the Black Hawk war twenty
seven years before. Lincoln recog-
nized it and talked freely about the
events of that time, telling in his hui
morous way Of the difficulties encoun-
| tered in his journey home after his
horse was stolen.
Gradually, however, in the three quar-
tiers of a century and more that have
passed since the time when Lincoln
and his comrades camped in the will
derncss, the s*ockade posts rotted
away until there was nothing to show
! where the fUrL had stood. Then the
Daughters of the American Revolution
of Fort Atkinson took the matter in
hand and placed a memorial to r3ark
/ the spot. 1t is a massive boulder of
native stone with tablet of Massa,
chusetts granite upon which this in
scription is engraved: Near this spot
in 1882 in the Black Hawk war, Gen.
| Henry Atkinson erected a stcckade
fort. To mark this historic ground the

carried on in Wisconsin, Lincoln was
with Early's company of rangers in
General Atkinson's command. On June
30, 1882, this company crossed the ter
ritorial line into Wisconsin and camped
on the bank of the Rock river, about
mile above the Turtle village of the
Winnebago Indians, and which is the
site of the present city of Beloit. The
company was often alarmed by the
rumors of Indians ahead, but had no
actual engagements. They marched
north and on July LIST camped at
Storr's lake, a short distance east of
where the village of Milton now
stands. Striking the main trail of
Black Hawks army they followed 1T
in northerly direction toward Lake
KoshkonOng. They recOnnoitered here
but finding no fresh evidence they fol-
spot not far from where the city of
Fort Atkinson is now situated. The
country at that time was wilder
ness, and this army of General At
kinson's had to fairly cut its way
through the underbrush, tall trees and
clinging vines He had an army of
nearly two thousand regulars. He built
q fort on the river bank near its juno
ton with Bark river and his army re-
manned here part of the month of
July, accommodating and following up
trails Of the Indians through the

But what used to be called mOdeSty
is now listed as prudishneSS. The
average maid of today doesn't blink
at a flock of Cupids, Psyches, Venuses
or Dianas. She can mingle on equal
terms with the undressed parade at
the seaside and she has her picture in
the pink pages showing nothing much
but her legs and teeth. She gOsSipS
about eugenics and birth control much
as the girl of old did about Little
Goldenlocks and the three bears. If
sweetheart should send her little box
couch effect made of lace paper hearts
and pink roses she would yawn him
off the premises.
So it is that the old-style valentine
is pretty much numbered with the
slain. The very young, the very DID,
the very modest and the quainrly ro-
mantle, may indulge, but not your lat
ter day lovers. The day of st. Valen-
tine may be remembered by gifts to
sweethearts, but they are more apt to
be silver cigarette cases or cocktail
sets rather than the filmy CupidS of
other dayR-Los Angeles Times.

fear and CONSERVATION than any other
in the history of our country
When the story of the battle at Still
mans Run, where a small band OF saw
ages put to flight whole regiment or
soldiers, and also that of the massacre
at the Davis farm, where fifteen wom-
en- and children where murdered was
spread through the country there was
scarcely q farmhouse all through the
middle West that was not deserted.
Both of the places mentioned were in
northern Illinois and soon StOckade
forts were thrown up and there the
people ffocked for protection from the
vast horde of savages that they be-
lieved to be on their trail.
Governor Reynolds of Illinois on
April Is, 1882, issued a proclamation
for volunteers to organize against the
sayageS, and Lincoln, then twenty
three years of age and living at New
Salem, Sangamon county, Illinois, was
one of the first to respond. The COM
pany was allowed to choose its own
captain and much to his joy Lincoln
received the largest number of votes.
Of this incident he spoke in later years
as follows: "Then came the Black
Hawk war and / was elected captain
of volunteers, a success which gave me
more pleasure than / have had since"
In those early days Lincoln showed
that same observance to justice and
the rights of others which character
lied his later years, in evidence OF
which may be noted the incident of the
Indians coming to General Cass with
a letter recommending him for his
services to the whites. Some OF the
men in the company wished him shot
as a spy, but Lincoln promptly inter-
fered saying that this peaceable In
dian should not be killed. There is no
record to show but what his judgment
was correct and his leniency well adj
vised.
One of the most interesting facts in
Lincoln's history at this time, and
which shows what queer FRANKS fate
can play, is this: Gen. Winfield Scott,
then in command at Fort Smelling,
sent two young lieutenants to muster
in the Illinois volunteers. In the Ian
guage of memoir of the times, one of
these lieutenants was "a very fasci-
mating young man of easy manners and
affable disposition, while the other was
equally pleasant and extremely mod
est. 1t is further stated that "a tall,
homely young man dressed in blue
jeans presented himself to the lieu
tenants as captain of a company of
volunteers and was duly sworn in.
| The one who administered the oath
of allegiance to the young man in
blue je2.9s'' was the lieutenant of the
| fascinating manners above mentioned.
| This was Jefferson Davis. The young
man in blue jeans was Abraham Lin
| coin. and the other young lieutenant
| of 1.-THE extremely modest demeanor
| was Robert Anderson, commander of
+, Fort Sumter at the beginning of the
| Civil war. And no premonition told
| them, as they stood together on thar
| pleasant spring morning, of the impor-
tant parts taey We're each to play in
