DEV|L|SHNESS At PEAK
IN CLOSING DAYS Of CONFLICT

BOche prisoner was summarily shot
because he refused to remove the
body of one of his dead compan-
ions. An examination of the body
later led to the discovery that it
was mined. The German was
aware of this fact and refused to
touch it.
In one small town evacuated by
the Germans, many of the beds
were found to be mined. An Amer
lean officer, tired and worn by
long fighting, sought rest on a
lounge in a room previously occu-
pied by a German officer. The
lounge blew up and he was instant
ly killed.
Another officer picked up a pair
of field glasses left by the Germans
and was adjusting the focus when
the glasses exploded in his hands
and blew away part of his face.
The Huns had become adept in
the nefarious business of making
Internal machines, mines and time
fuses, and there was scarcely an
area where the electrical and engi-
neering experts of the allies did not
find some form of their fiendish
ingenuity.

spoil and be wasted. In so far as
this waste occurs, just so far are
we guilty of Withholding food
stuffs from starving millions. And
exactly as we meet our present
obligations to save and send food,
just so will we be judged by flu
ture generations as having done
our duty to humanity. True, some
of these other flours COS slightly
more than wheat, but the quaint
ties are so small and the time dur
ing which it will be necessary for
us to use them is so short that
the difference is not appreciable.
Let us meet this small demand as
we have met all Others"

B|SBEE |AO|CI MEMIS
ARE QUASHED BY
TUCSON COURT

TUCSON, Dec. Q. = The court
quashed indictments against rs
capitalists, mine operators, public
officials and citizens involved in
the Bisbee Industrial Workers of
the World deportations.
The charges on which the CAPT.
~talists, copper mine operators, pub
lie officials and citizens of Bisbee
were indicted by a federal grand
jury here in 1918 resulted from
the deportation from Bisbee on
July IL, 1917, of 1856 striking
copper mine workers and their al
legged sympathizers. The indict-
ments charged conspiracy to de-
prive citizens of the United States
of their constitutional rights.
The deportations grew out of
the strike of copper miners called
in the Warren copper mining dis
trict, centering at Bisbee, on June
s26, 1917. The strike was called
by the Industrial Workers of the
World. The demands made by the
strikers included Sc a day for un-
foreground men and $3.50 a day
for surface workers, a six-hour day
and improved working conditions
The strike continued in force
without either side giving evidence
of weakening until July IL, when
the deportations occurred. At a
signal a sheriff's posse, consisting
of more than 1000 armed citizens,
began Selling the strikers and their
sympathizers. All persons who
could not give a satisfactory ac-

Zone day there appeared behind
our lines a German soldier who said
he was a deserter. He made a big
fuss about being tired o. German

to enlist under the Stars and Stripes.
"The first thing we did was to take
away all his equipment. When we re-
lieved him of his gas mask, he turned
pale with terror. Then our officers
'sweated' him. Under this treatment,
he admitted that the Germans were
going to try out their new mustard

been sent over to see how effectively
it worked and had orders to sneak
back to his own lines after we were
all dead. He never got back"

PREACHERS AS SLEUTHS
Thep Proved To Be The Hawkshaw.
In Albert Lea


Hard indeed is the way of the
blindpigger and the bootlegger today.
Even the ministers of the gospel are
turning sleuths and running down
these unfortunate individuals who
were formerly wont to FREQUENT
Minnesota and take their product in
to Iowa without molestation. The
Albert Lea Tribune relates a story
of how one Franz Broulik was ar
rested last Saturday night with a
suitcase heavily laden with booze.
The man was taken into custody
through the efforts of Rev. C. w. Fin
wall of North Dakota, dry speaker
in that territory, with the assistance
of Rev. Eastwald and Rev. Myrwang
OF Albert Lea. Rev. Finwall saw
Broulik on the train as he was pro-
ceeding to Clarks Grove. Noticing
the many loving glances the fellow
cast at his suitcase the minister be-
came Suspicious and with the as
sistance Of the other preachers had
the man taken into custody.
Sheriff Fosse of Albert Lea con-
graduated the ministers on their
catch. Broulik pleaded guilty when
before court and, was sentenced to
sixty days in the county Jail and
given fine of $29

Service Stripes Removed.
Sewers is young man of strong
stocky build with light hair and blue
eyes. His face is tanned to deep
brown and he has apparently seen
considerable outdoor life not great
time ago. The young man this
morning was attired in an old faded
uniform, the buttons and service
stripe on which had been removed
by government officers.
After the first few brief remarks
about his experiences in France
Sewers seemed loath to talk about it
more constantly reverted back to his
present predicament saying it twas
disgrace to be locked behind the
bars like this" and that it would
break his mothers heart were she
to know of it." He affirmed his
claim, however, that he was former
member of Company l. Eighteenth
infantry and that the honorable dis
charge he carried was genuine.
Sewers Bound over.
Sewers was this afternoon taken
before Federal Court COMMISSIONS
John Temple and was bound over to
the federal grand jury. Failing to
secure bonds in the sum of $500 he
was committed to the county jail
and will be held there. He is being
held on two separate charges, Doth
of which are serious offenses.
Sewers is charged with falsely and
fraudulently holding himself out as a
member and an agent of the American
Red Cross society for the purpose of
soliciting, collecting and receiving
money for the same. He is also
charged with unlawfully wearing the
duly prescribed uniform of an en-
listed man of the United States army,
not being an officer or an enlisted
man of the army, the navy or the
marine corps.

WAR VICTIMS FIND
RED CROSS REFUGE
Great Aid Is Given People Who
Suffer From the Bloody
Conflict

Bologna, Italy, August 12.-lBy
Mail. Railroad station resthouses,
where civilians for whom poverty
and wartime difficulties make travel
ing hard and painful, are a feature of
American Red Cross activities in the
more important Italian cities.
Bologna, situated, as it is, almost
in the center of the peninsula, is per-
haps more than any other place a
magnet for the pathetic passage OF
these persons. The resthouse of the
station there has recently moved in
to new and larger quarters, formerly
the second class waiting room, now
converted for this war; time charity.
Here may be found every kind OF
information regarding travelling, time
tables of the ordinary trains, the
tradutte military trains) and the
vaporine (local steam tramways), a
war map, so that profughi may find
where their fathers and brothers are
fighting-a beautiful map of Italy,
giving every station on every princi-
pal railroad (Ferrovvie dello Stato) !;
a map of Bologna, so that any one
going into the city may see where to
go and how to get there. The workers
are ashamed to answer Don't know
to any question. The two long taOles
are covered with black oilcloth, which
makes a very pleasing and original
appearance when adorned with white
cupbowls, TASKS OF fresh water and a
few flowers (marguerites, gladioli and
asters).
Block Off The Curious.
Small white cottage curtains hide
the people from curious onlookers
and on each like heraldic devices
are sewn two little American flags
A little kitchen opens off the large
room where the milk and meat are
prepared This also contains little
cupboard, with some necessaries as
needles, cotton, medicines of simple
kinds, headache powders, a few towels
soap, children's stockings and writing
materials.
In one corner is stretcher for any
poor old woman or paralized individ-
ual, covered with knitted quilt which
came from America 1t is of many
brilliant colors, and very plainly
makes one feel that loving hands have
Knitted it, square by square, in the
hope that it would cheer the heart
of some lonely soldier in hospital
But instead, it is serving a no less
noble end of wars ravages.
