Admitted Draft Evader Of

His Identity.

Brainerd, Mimi, Oct. 22.-Leslie
Kruger, one Of the brothers who fig
ured in a sensational shooting duel
with a posse near owen, Wis, recent
~, Is in custody here. The youth, an
admitted draft evader, confessed his
identity.
Kruger said he had been in this
district for several days. A draft
card issued to Philip Shultz of Chip
pewa county, Wis, was found on him.
According to Sheriff Claus Theorin.
Kruger declared that he destroyed
his card while hiding at the home of
his mother and later stole Shultz's
card. He was carrying an automatic
pistol when arrested, h sheriff said.
Kruger did not make any state
ment regarding the resistance which
he and his brother made when OIL
GERS attempted to arrest them, other
than to say he ran ava from the
Kruger home when the firing com.
menced. He learned of the death or
his brother and a member OF the
posse, from newspaper accounts.
Sheriff Theorin said that krueger
admitted he was opposed to the war
but he asserted, the sheriff claimed,
that neighbors had made false
charges Of d%isloyalty against the

Not Favored in Paris.

Not In Paris
Paris, Oct. 22.-The German reply
to President Wilson N-as received here
too late for the afternoon papers but
was eagerly discussed in official cir
Giles and in parliament. Among depu-
ties Of all shades of opinion the i'm
preston was first of all, that the re-
ply betrayed more than previous COM
m~unications the state of depression
and the decentralization Of the German
people as the result of the Allied vic
tories.
AS a whole the note is found to be
equivocal and t%ortuous and plati-
tudinously phased SO as to leave the
door open for all sorts of %quibbling.
Nowhere is there evidence in the re-
ply Of a genuine desire to accept the
only way in which peace can be con-
cluded, according to expression of
opinion here. On the contrary all that
is apparent is the urgent desire of the
German general staff to get an armis-
tice at any price in order to reorgan-
ize it's reserves of men and material.
Therefore, it is generally believed that
the reply is not likely to be considered
at Washington.
The Figaro says that the men who
