There Was a Reason.
From the Indianapolis News.

However the nations were or might
have been divided in the great conflict
just ended, there never was a belief in
any quarter Of the world that English
speaking people would be on opposing
sides. Germany recognized the power of
the unwritten treaty by which. when the
question is n of right or wrong, there
can be nc two sides among people reared
on the same traditions. An extract from
the program of the memorial service for
The officers and men OF the American
army and navy who have fallen in the
war, held in Westminster Abbey, ex-
presses this feeling In the eloquent Ian
guage OF the British clergy, who speak
the voice OF the empire:
Let US now unite in thanking God for
those OF our brothers Of the great
American republic who have laid down
their lives in q sacred and righteous
cause. Their deaths have sealed the
unwritten but inviolable covenant Of
our common brotherhood. Their deaths
have laid the enduring foundations Of
the worlds hope for future peace. For
their sakes we raise this day our proud
thanksgiving in the great abbey which
enshrines the illustrious dust OF the
makers OF h English speaking .peo-
pies. Let US render our humble and
joyful price to Almighty God that in
their response to the clarion call OF
freedom and Of Justice the two COM
m~onwealths have not been divided.
This service was short, as becomes the
tribute of a nation of fighdn men to the
lighting men of an associated nation.

YOUTH IS HELD
FOR INVESTIGATION
William Schmidt, a Hired Hand,
Held In Connection
With Murder of
Meehl.

Parker, S. D, June Ia. William
Schmidt, II years old, hired hand or
the farm Of Ernest Meehl, wealthy Nc
Cook county farmer, who was found
murdered in his bed early last Mon
day morning. was taken in custody
yesterday by Sheriff Mcmahon. 1t is
said here that no warrant of arrest hao
been issued for young Schmidt, but he
will be held for investigation in on
nection with the killing. Another per-
son vas to have been taken into Gus
tody, but was not to be found.
Mrs. Meehl left here yesterday, pre-
sumably for Sioux Falls, accompanied
by her father, Joseph Reitmeyer. Her
whereabouts was unknown late today.
The Meehls are said to have had DO
mestic troubles and for a while had not
been living together. MIR. and Mrs.
Meehl were in different rooms on the
night of the murder when Mrs. Meehl
said she found a note with he hus-
bands body conveying a warning
against persons who inform on boot
leggers."
Young Schmidt first testified before
q coroner's jury that he had not heard
the discharge of the weapon, although
he was sleeptng at the side of Meehl.
He later admitted, however. hat he
had been awakened by the discharge OF
the gun. A John Doe hearing is sched-
uled to be held at Salem today.
