Father John McCann, and his brother George McCann. a Chi cago plumber. Nine bullets fired by .hc McCanns in an effort to hold off the jbesegers were found i'm bedded in the door.
 Custer proceedings had begun
 against Father McCann. Bishop
 Peter J. Muldoon of the Rockford diocese had announced that he was
 und CT suspension and that the St.
 Patrick Day services would be con- uucted by the Rev. T. Gilbert Flynn.
 Father NcCann's answer was to bar ricaGe himself and defy the bishop.
 -Afror the police had forced en- trance they entered the church with
 drawh revolvers, but they found Fathe~ McCann kneeling in prayer at the altar. His brother was on guard at the foot of the altar stairway. Neither, resisted. They were taken to the El3in Police Station, where the brother was allowed to return to Chicago. Father McCann was ad- mittcd ro $500 bond after he had been arratgned on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.

DUTCH VESSEL SUNK
 OUT OF DANGER ZONE
Captain and Crew Given Warning and Entire Food Supply is
 Seized by U-BOat.

London, March 18.--The sinking outside the German danger zone two days ago by @ German submarine Of the Danish steamship Randelsborg, 1851 tons, is reported in an Ex- change Telegraph despatch from Co., penha gen. The captain was taken on board the submarine and entered 8 protest, but the German command CT said that unless the ship was abandoned within five minutes she would be sunk with all hands. The Germans seized all food and carried off the captain Of the vessel. They promised to tow the boats to Nor way, but instead left the men to their fate.
 The leading editorial in the Daily Telegraph characterizes the forma- ton of an Allied Martins Trans port Council as a new link between the associated nations and says: ''Wo are approaching the supreme test Of the issue, which depends on mcr- Chantmen. It may be q matter tor serious consideration by the United states Government whether it may not give moro essential aid at this moment by holding back temporarily further achievements for their army with a consequent increase in the quantity. of ocean borne supplies"
 The Telegraph declares the enemys SCa offensive cannot be treated as a matter of less importance than his much advertised movement on the west front, and adds Radical changes in organization, ir method and in atmosphere are essential if masters and men are to save uS,'

attack by the Germans
on our troops at the front, some
OF whom may have been inland
empire boys, is significant. 1t
typifieS the Teuton method in
this war. The use of gas
against troops is fiendish. The
kaiser introduced it as means
Of warfare. 1t is on a par with
their sinking of merchant ships
without warning and a chance
for those aboard to escape; the
bombing of hospitals and cities,
the enSlavement OF women and
the mutilating Of little children.
The German policy is vicious
but it is a failure. It is not ef-
fective. Intended TO awe the
world and make it stand in fear
of kaiserism it has had the re-
verse effect. 1t has enraged
the world. 1t has aroused con-
tempt and a determination to
stamp this thing from the face
Of the earth. Frightfulness is
not bravery; it is cowardice. 1t

CATCH THE HALIBUT

n HE attention of the feder.
" al food administration
should be directed to the
fish business on the Pacific
coast. There is a report that
halibut fishers at Newport get
fi7e cents a pound for halibut
which is Immediately sold for
20 cents a pound by the pack
ing company that takes all
their catch under an arrange
ment that prohibits fisherman
from retailing fish. So. the
fisherman who risks his life at
sea and does the hard work in
connection with the halibut in
dustry gets small pay; the
packing company that takes no
chances makes a fabulous pro-
fit. Such a state of affairs at
a time when people are urged
to consume fish instead of beef
should not be tolerated. There
should be some way of stop
ping such abuse. People can
not save what they should for
liberty bonds and thrift stamps
when they are gouged in such
manner as this.

1T MEANS FIGHT

n HERE can be do dodginp
W the bitter truth that the
upshot of affairs in Rus
sia has turned greatly to the
advantage of the kaiser and
makes the allied path to victory
more difficult.
The Germans now have &C
cess to Russia's resources and
they are vast. There is a
chance an effort may be made
to turn some Russian manpower
against the armies of democra-
cy and freedom. On the other
hand such proceeding would
be risky for the Teutons. Given
a gun the Russ might turn to
shooting the wrong way. As
to supplies there is some hope
in the fact Russian industry is
so disorganized that the kais-
er's agents will have a job on
their hands in getting what
they need.
But all mall the Russian out
look is dark for the allies. 1t
makes it more imperative that
there should be no inconclusive
peace. Should the war stop
now leaving the German auto
cracy in the saddle at home and
with German influence para
mount in central and eastern
Europe the world would face
a perilous future, indeed. We
must throw our shoulders back
and face the future with deter
and courage. There is
but one way the war can end
and whatever is necessary to
accomplish that end must be
done-whether it take another
year or 20 years.

@T the close of Wednesday,
II February 13, over 1000
900 soldiers and sailors
and army and navy nurses had
applied for government insur-
ance under the soldier and sal
for insurance law. The am
cunt of insurance applied for
is more than S8,0OO,0OO,OOO.
The maximum permitted to
any person is $4,000, and the
average applied for is S8,212.
There are many applications
mailed from distant points
which have not yet reached the
Treasury Department. The
above figures are only Of ap-
plications that have been actu-

The amount Of Government
in force is more than
