which has been played both at Glen
wood and Long Prairie recently and
find, in both cases, that it is an ex-
ceptionally fine film and is sure to
please. The film is a Thanhouser
production and is featured by Flor
ence LaBadie and H. E. Herbert. The
story as told in the film is as follows:
damn the United States"I wish
I may never hear of the United
States"
John Alton, conscientious pacifst,
utters this curse at a time when he is
angered by the scorn of his patriotic
friends, and detected by the loss of
his sweetheart, Barbara Norton, who
considers him Stacker. He is in
duced to read Edward Everett Hale's
famous story, "THE MAN WITHOUT
A COUNTRY" and the incidents seem
to him like replica of his own life
in previous existence. AS Lieuten-
ant Philip Nolan, u. S. A., he sees
himself on trial; then condemned to
pass the rest of his life as an un-
shackled prisoner on board a warship
without ever hearing of his country;
and eventually dying in his cabin with
a benediction for the flag Of the United
States. The INSTALLATION Of the story
quickens the dormant sense of respon-
sibility to his country, and he becomes
a recruit at Fort Slocum.
Meanwhile Barbara has been a Red
Cross nurse in France. The ship on
which she is returning to America is
attacked by an enemy submarine, and
the wreck floating in mid-ocean pres
ent a triumph to film realism.
Whether Barbara was saved from the
wreck to resume the interrupted
romance with her former lover is
fully revealed. Apart from it's STIR
ring patriotic spirit the picture offers
seven reels of engrossing entertain

Time For War Risk In
surance-Application Ex-
tended to April 18th

The following letter from the Min
nesota Commission of Public Safety
is of Importance to soldier and sailors
who have not as yet taken out their
government insurance:
st. Paul, Feb. 16, 1918.
Dear Sir: e
We are in receipt of wire from
Washington this morning stating that
the time for filing application for War
Risk insurance for soldiers and sailors
has just been extended by Congress
to April 18th, 1913. The automatic
insurance feature zhasaceased entirely
and no man is now insured by the
Government unless he has applied.
This makes voluntary application on
the part of men in service doubly i'm
portant and the influence of the FAM
lily and dependents of the enlisted man
should be brought to bear on those
not yet insured in order that they
will be able to avail themselves of
this protective feature on the part
of the government.
We quote the following from a let
ter from John L. May, chairman of
the Executive Committee of the
Soldiers and Sailors, Campaign for
War Risk Insurance:
"The Bureau will accept telegram
or cable message from person in
the active military or naval service as

UNTIMELY DEATH. :
Fred Oberle Called Suddenly Thurs
day Evening While Returning
Home.

The sudden death from heart Sfail-
ure of Fred Oberle of this city on
Thursday evening was a great shock
to all those who knew him. The
gentleman, who has been connected
with the Great Northern as potato
inspector, was returning home after
the nine o'clock train that evening.
Finding the house locked, the family
having retired, he knocked twice, and
then started around to the rear door.
By that time, his son, Milfred, had
reached the door and unlocking it
called to his father. There was nj
answer and investigation proved, that
death had overtaken him as swiftly
as a flash of lightning. Although
medical help was at once summoned,
Mr.. Oberle was past all human aid.
The funeral took place on Monday
afternoon from the house, the Rev.
Francis Boone officiating. Interment
was made at Greenwood cemetery.
Mr.. Oberle has been a resident of
Sank Centre for the past eleven years.
Although unobstrusive in city affairs,
his citizenship was of the highest
type.

PARIS, Sept 9-Germany has ex-
acted war contributions from Belgium
during the first four years of the war
amounting to a total of $466,000,0O0.
This is in addition to the vast amount
of ma chinery, materials and men TAX
en- from Belgium to sustain Germany.
In this fifth year of war it is inter
esting to review the financial acti-
vities" of the Germans in Belgium
since that fateful day in Belgium's his
tory. August 20, 1914, when the Ger
man hordes entered Brussels.
During that month, as the German
armies were hacking their way
through the little kingdom, numerous
towns and cities were fined" and war
contributions were levied from each
province as the Germans progressed
southwestward.
The first move of the German staff
when entering town was to proceed
to the city hall and announce to the
burgomaster that for resisting the ad-
vance of Emperor Williams armies,
his city or town had been fined so
many thousand or million francs, as
the case might be. When the burgo-
master would demonstrate, Uhlans and
Deaths Head Hussars would cavort
innocently in City Hall Square or the
burgomaster would be taken prisoner.
In one instance in the province of
Liege, the German commander of the
company entering the town informed
the burgomaster that war contri-
button of 100000 francs would have
to be forthcoming within two hours.
The burgomaster demurred. Never in
the history of the little town had there
been so much money in the city treas
ury. At the present moment, there
was only little over three thousand
francs in the strong box.
"Well, We'll take that" calmly res
pended the German.
More than 20O,00O,0OO francs were
thus levied between August and Nov
ember, 1914.

Small Crowd Witnesses 9TH
Match of Baseball Chassis
Red Sox Favorites.
<By Associated Press)

BOSTON, Sept. notwithstanding
night, baseball fans took heart at the
sight OF the sun when they awoke
today and early indications were that
the Boston American and Chicago Ma
tional teams would be able to play
this afternoon the first Boston game
OF the world series Ground keepers
said the playing field at Fenway Park
had been protected as far as possible
from the rain and they hoped that
with a drying sun this morning con-
ditions would permit resumption of
the series which now stands two
games to one in favor of the Red Sox.
There were a few early arrivals at
the park in readiness for the opening
of the sale Of bleacher seats, but the
number waiting in line was below the
mark of former world series contests.
The train which brought the play
ers from Chicago was behind its
schedule and as it was midnight when
they reached their hotel they were
allowed to sleep late this morning.
When they came down to breakfast
it was apparent that all the members
Of both teams were brimful of deter
mination. The Red Sox were bent on
cleaning up the series with two games
on the home grounds while the Cubs
were equally set on evening things up
in the first game here and then forg-
ing ahead to final victory.
In spite of the intense rivalry, the
players of the two teams were a unit
in declaring that they would back up
to the limit the joint committee which
they appointed on the train coming
from Chicago to demand of the nation
al baseball commission the fulfillment
of the guarantee which they assert
was given of payment of $4,000 to
each player on the winning team and
$1,400 to each loser
They were informed yesterday that
the receipts from tickets were prov
ing so small this year that their shares
would be cut to $1,000 and $500 re-
spectively.

Belgium Paid $466, 900, 900
to Germany in Four Years

Then Field Marshal Baron Won der
Goltz-Pasha decreed that Belgium
would have to pay a monthly contri-
button of 100000 francs during one
year and it would not be increased and
that it would not be renewed. The
Pasha's decree, however, proved to
be but another scrap of paper.
In November, 1915, Baron Won Bis
sing called upon the councils of the
nine Belgian provinces to meet and
informed them that the promise of his
predecessor had been made in good
faith but with the implied condition
that war would be ended within the
year and that he saw no alternative
but than to renew the monthly contri-
button of 100000 francs for another
year.
On the Goth of November, 1915, in
stead of abolishing the onerous tax on
Belgium, Won Kissing decided that
owing to the duration of the war, the
he would have to increase the monthly
payments to 50,000,O00 francs. He
added ominously, temporarily.
1t proved TO be so, indeed, Tor, on
the 21st of May, 1917, the contribu-
ton was further raised to 10000, 900
francs.
The flow of francs into the Golfers
of the war lord was too small to sat
isfy the gargantuan appetites of the
military men, however, and on the
18th of September, 1916, they seized"
430,000,0o0 million marks, constitut-
ing all the deposits in German bills
of the Banque Rationale and the
Cociete Generate de Belgique, the two
largest banks in Belgium. When one
of the directors of the Societe Cen
eral refused to divulge that part of
the combination of the vaults which
he alone knew and without which the
vaults could not be opened, the Ger
mans said that they would blow them
open with high explosives. The di-
