ORGANIZATION OF
W.R.C. RELATED BY
MRS. f. WOODWARD
Interesting Sketch Read by Her at
Recent Entertainment of Corps.

During the days of the civil war
the work of the patriotic women OF
the north was very great. On the
battlefield and in the hospitals they
nobly answered every, cxu to duty,
and thousands of lives were saved b.
their efforts. Soldiers Aid Societies
were organized from New England 10
the farthest west, which were, in turn,
the great sources Of supply of the
christian and sanitary commission for
med under the patronage Of the gov
eminent for the collection and distri-
button of hospital and sanitary sup
plies. Millions of dollars were raised
and expended and thousands of lives
saved thru the direct agency of the
patriotic, loyal women Of. the north,
in the four years of our great strug-
gle.
With the disarmament of our armies
followed the dissolution of our soci-
cites and the closing Of the busy
work room of Soldier Aid Socie-
ties. A decade passed, a financial
crisis was on the country the ranks
of the soldiers began to grow thin.
They were in need of more help, and
again the loyal women answered the
call. With this purpose in view, first
especially to aid and assist the Grand
Army of the Republic nd to perpet-
uate the memory Of their heroic dead.
Second: To assist such union veterans
as need our help and protection, and
to extend needful aid to their widows
and orphans; to find them homes and
employment; assure them of SYM
pathy and friends; to cherish and en-
ulate the deed Of our army nurses, and
all loyal women who rendered loving
service to our country in her hour of
peril. Third. To maintain true al
leigence to the United States of Am
erica; to imculcate lessons Of patriot
ism and love of county among our
children, and in the communities in
which we live, and encourage the
spread of universal liberty and equal
rights for all. W. have stea lily a.

County Judge O. G. Comstock Of
Minnewaukan is sitting in the Morg-
ridge will case at the court house in
this city, taking the place of Judge
Griffin, who is not physically able to
give his attention to the duties Of
his Office. This is a case where the
nephews of the w. J. Motgridge seek
to have the will broken, as they claim
that at the time that Mr.. Morgridge
signed the will he was mentally and
physically incapacited, and that mis-
property was not distributed accord

Possessor Of $4,000 IN Lbez

~tifcates Of Indebtedness; te 1afAee
of a son in the American navy, and
fearless champion of patriotism, is tho
record of one German-born American
who does not believe in biting the
hand that feeds him.
He is August Heckert of Marietta,
Mimi, and has gained fame as Lac
Qui Parle .county's prize, practical
patriot. Chairman J.. H. Hayden of
Madison says that Mr.. and Mrs. Heck
ert are the largest holders of govern
ment securities in this county.
In addition to their heavy cash con-
! tributions to the prosecution of the
war and the loaning of their son to
Uncle Sam, the Heckerts have given
lavishly of their time to various war
activities.
Mr.. Heckert's sterling patriotism re-
Gently made him defendant in a $780,
900 damage suit brought by Ferdinand
IKahlbrenner of Marietta. 1t followed
a stirring article in a Marietta paper,
signed by Mr.. Heckert, in which he
aired his views about certain fellow
citizens that he did not believe were
doing their part for their country. The
jury returned a verdict for MIR. Heck
ert in a short time.
"This government made it possible
for me to get along in the world and
whatever l have this country is vel
come to-" Mr.. Heckert told A. R. Rog-
ers, chairman Of the Ninth District
War Loan Organization, a few days
ago. "The fact that I subscribed four
or five times my Liberty Loan allot-
ment apparently convinced the jury
that I was sincere"
"Workers throughout the Ninth Dis
trict should find encouragement in the
case of Mr.. Heckert," said Chairman
Hayden of Madison. ut is a cas- like
this that should bring shame to many
men who try to avoid doing their part
in finishing the job that the: country
started"

A MARBLE interrupted long;

Not yet the haunt Of grazing herds
And thickets by the glimmering rill
Are all alive with birds.

u. S. MADE NO SECRET
TREATY WITH CHINA
Japanese Charge Based on
Old Pact That Lapsed.

WARRINGTON. April 1o.-Denial was
made to-day by a State Department Of
hcial of Japanese press report that a
secret treaty existed between the United
States and China. An exhaustive search
of the files failed to uncover such a
treaty.
According to the Japanese report,
which demanded that this alleged treaty
be made public II the secret treaties be-
tween China and Japan were published,
the agreement was entered into between
the United States and tho late Emperor
Kuang Hsu and provided that the
United States be permitted TO build war
ships AT nine dockyards on the Chi
nese Coast. These vessels. said the re-
port. were to be transferred to China
under the guise OF sales and were to be
manned by Chinese under American Of
ficers as instructors.
The search at the Department re-
vealed only that an agreement had been
made many years ago permitting Ameri-
cans to build vessels for China trade
at Chinese dockyards. This agreement,
Il was said, had never been taken ad-
vantage OF and had lapsed long ago by
limitation. 1t was emphasized that this
agreement was In no way secret. as It's
provisions were generally known at the
time IL was made.

PARIS, April 10.-Contrary to the inn
preston created by the French press, full
satisfaction has been given to France in
the matter of reparation. THE SUN 10
off1cially Informed that tho French dele
gates left the committee rooms fully
gratifed with the share OF the indemnity
left to France from the tentatively fixed
total.
This share, II is understood. Is about
30 per cent of the total. The Belgian
claims were also fully met. and Germany
must pay that country two billions In
cash at once King Aibert's appearance
In Paris last week Is said to have had a
great deal OF influence on the committee.
Under the terms of the treaty France
Is to receive about $4,000. 900, 900 from
Germany within two years Of the time
the treaty In signed. in order to enable
her to begin her task OF reconstruction
The remainder of the claim will be
spread over about thirty years. in
amounts determined annually by an al
lied commission. 1t 10 expected that as
Germany gains In strength each year
the annual amount to be paid will be in
creased, with perhaps shortening Of
the thirty year period.
There are loud advocates in Paris Of
n plan for dispensing with this part pay
ment scheme and assessing the total
against Germany at once. They are for
asking that the principle upon which the
debt Is to be established shall be clearly
defined, and they urge that Germany be
compelled before the world to acknowl-
edge the debt.

In which the violence OF the recrimina-

The result was wildly app1auded and

Lcdebour is confined. appfising them of
the wishes of the Soviet delegates. The
request was refused. .....
The Ledebour episode and one or two
other Incidents which occurred immedi-
ately after the Soviet Congress was

LoNpos, April 10.-The German
Armistice Commission at Spa, des-
patch from Berlin to-day says, has ad-
dressed a note to the Allies urgently re-
questing the removal to Russia of Rus
sian prisoners of war still in Germany.
The German standpoint Is that the Rus
slams are increasing the spread OF dis
turbances In Germany.
The note says much discomfort pre-
walls among the Russian prisoners at
their continued detention while allied
prisoners were returned home. The
German Government. II is added, is ap-
prehensive that the Russians will break
from their camps thus increasing the
Bolsheyik danger In Germany.
