ANXIETY TO GET INTO WAR
SMASHES CONVENTIONS.

Mrs. John A. Kalbach is in receipt
of clipping from Tacoma paper
sent by her son Taylor, telling of the
launching of a ship named after our
Proud Mahaska. The newspaper ac-
count says:
1.-The third of the Ferris type wood

o'clock tonight when the Mahaska
was sent, or rather, went down the
ways at Babare Bros. shipping yards
Fifteen minutes before the Mahaska
was to be launched she crushed her
props to kindling and gently slipped
down the ways.
Mrs. Nicholas BabGrd, sponsor,
surrendered her boribboned bottle
of ancient port and bouquet of Amer
lean Beauty roses to George Babare,
who dashed after the ship and smash
ed the bottle over the vessels bow
just as it dipped into the Sound.
Boys, l got her.! he said, swing
ing the bouquet around his head,
She's named all right
1.-THE Mahaska is believed to be the
most nearly completed Ferris ship in
the country"

Centerville, April 6.-Three Appa-

Russell Selix of Unionville, a mem
Der of Company d, 16Sth Infantry, was
reported by the war department as

written a letter to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. T. Selix. saying that he has
recovered from wound in his leg, and
may be invalided home soon.
Comrades Say They Live.

TWO SUITS FOR BIG DAMAGES
M. G. ST. L. Railway Made Defendant
In Actions Wherein a Total Of
$4,000 Is Asked.

Monteuma, April 1.-TWO damage
suits have been filed in the district
clerks office in Monteuma against
the M. & ST. L. railroad company,
asking for a total of $45,500.
Mrs. Amanda Carpenter, aged 6S
years, asks for $4,000 and her daugh,
ter, Flora Carpenter, sues for $780,
500. Mrs. Carpenter alleges in her
petition that previous to May Z, 1911
she conducted a hotel at Kilduff. She
was Il passenger on the M. & st. l.
branch from Oskaloosa through New
Sharon to her home at Kilduff near
Newton on May I, 1917, when spread,
ing rails near Sully caused a wreck.
She was thrown against the seats, wall
and floor of the car, says the petit
ton, and sustained many bruises and
Commissions, fractured skull and inter
nal injuries which have prevented
her from continuing in the hotel bust.
ness.
The daughter, Flora. according to
the petition filed, sustained more SER
ious injuries than the mother. Per
manent disability. caused by injury
to the spine is alleged. For this
$500 for doctor bills and nurse hire
is asked and damages in the sum Of
$4,000.
The plaintiffs state that the track
was in bad order that rotten ties and
badly spiked rails contributed to the
accident; that the company had
knowledge of such dangerous condi-
lions and that despite slow-up orders
at the point of derailment, the train
was going at excessive speed.

Won HINDENBURG HAS FAILED
Advance Blocked BY Unexpected
Power Of Allies Has Forced
Change in Plans.
(By ]. w. T. Mason.l

New York, April S.--General Foch
is threatening to develop counter
attack stroke against Won Hinden.
burg's south flank in the area where
the newly extended German front
joins the southwest corner of the old
Hindenburg line.
This is the reason why the Ger.
mans have begun sudden attack
along the Disc valley.
There is no certainty for Won Hin.
denburg that General Foch is start
ing new attack in that region but
the threat. has unquestionably been
made possible by the new concentra.
ton of considerable forces of allied
soldiers
Won Hindenburg's present move in
the Disc district will in all probabil.
ity be defensive measure to secure
local positions of tactical advantages
and to feel out General Foch's
strength.
The situation which is facing Won
Hindenburg at this time is a very
serious one and has been imposed
upon him by the allies during his ad-
vance through Procady.
The main strategic purpose of the
German drive was to separate the
British and the French armies at this
point of contact and to roll up the
British right wing and throw the
whole British line intoa disorganized
mass.

MEMORIAL SERVICE
SPECIAL PROGRAM SUNDAY FOR
MAHASkA COUNTY BOYS.

Public Memorial Services were held
Sunday afternoon at Central M. T..
church. under the auspices of the Com
mercial Club, in honor of Harry And
erson who was the first boy in Ma
haska county to give up his life in ac-
tual service. Included in the cere-
maRies however were all four Mahaska
county boys who have given their lives
for their country in the present great
struggle
Harry L. Anderson.
Tommy Arkless
Clifford E. Evans.
Charles r. Daily.
An appropriate program was present
ed to an audience that completely fill
ed the big church. In opening the
program the audience sang MY Coun-
try 'Tis of Thee" followed by inyoca-
ton by Father Lotus, of st. Mary's
church. Mrs. Cammack rendered a
Patriotic vocal solo fitting the oc-
casion. A short talk was given by
the chairman, George True. The Mem
orial address was delivered by Rev.
Alex. McFerran, of the First Presby-
terrain church, who spoke about our
boys in France. Russia and other ma
tons.
Special seats were reserved in the
center section for the family of Harry
Anderson and also the parents of the
boys in service, and the entire pro-
gram was simple and yet thoroughly
in keeping with the kindly sympathy
OF the occasion. Rev. McFerran in his
Memorial address selected the 10th
verse of the 9Th chapter of LIST Thes-
salonians as the basis of his remarks.
Who died that the Nation might
i've and the address as whole was
thoroughly patriotic. and yet fully APP
propriate to the spirit of the day.
A quartet by Mesdames Gordon, Cam
mack, Messrs. Gordon and Tony. as
sisted with the musical program. Rev.
De Voc. of the Christian church gave
the benediction.
II also happened that Sunday was
the first anniversary of the entrance
OF the United States into the present
conflict and this was an added reason
as to why the day should be thus be-
fittingly commemorated' .aAa0 e
The church had been effectively dec
Grated by the committee in charge as
sisted by Chief McCracken and one OF
the firemen who handled the long lad
ders used. The National colors were
used in pleasing display and with
them back of the choir, was the large
service flag presented last week by
the Sammies Mothers Club to the peo-
pie of Mahaska county.

The Spur CT Necessity.

Freedom to do exactly as one chooses.
IL long continued. usually brings one
to point where nothing seems worth
choosing. We fret at the constratnt
OF duty and the spur OF necessity, but
there is nothing in life that supplies
such zest as the fact that things must
be done and are given into our hands
to be accomplished.
