be issued by the United States ma

The button is of the standard de-
sign adopted for all branches of the
service, bronze for all men except
those who were wounded who will re-
ceive silver buttons. These buttons
are not to be confused with the ma

Berlin Quiet but Further
Uprisings are Feared

A Berlin dispatch under date Of
the 18th instant states that the work
ers in many large plants have 'declar-
ed holiday to celebrate the anniver-
sary of the killing Of DR.. Karl Lieb-
knecht and Rosa Luxembourg, the
socialists. Berlin, and especially the
Reichstag square, where the heaviest
mob demonstrations took place few
days ago, is under heavy guard.
In a speech delivered yesterday in
the Reichstag, Herr Rambler, lead
ing deputy, denounced the recent
storming of the Reichstag as an at
tempt to put the German parliament,
elected by the most democratic meth
cd in the world, under the dictator
ship of the street agitator. The in
dependent socialists created a distur-
bance during the delivery of this
speech.
The fear is expressed in diplomatic
dispatches received in London that
the Berlin uprising may cause similar
uprisings throughout Germany and
even in Vienna, through the agency
of the communists. It is pointed out
that Vienna, owing to the great I'M
rest already existing there, would be
a fertile field for such a propaganda.

Pays Tribute to the
Country Weekly Newspaper

Although coming from an anony.
nous writer, the L. S. U. Press Bulle-
tin is glad to pass along the following
splendid tribute to the country news
paper:
Our state is dotted with villages, in
each of which one or more newspa-
pers are published. They do not
claim to be review of the world.
These country newspapers appear
faithfully week after week, record
| ing the happenings of the neighbor-
hood, lending assistance to the un-
fortunate, extending sympathy and
consolation to the bereaved, chron-
icling with pardonable pride any i'm
provements in the community and
bringing to the fireside a record of
happenings that are of more impor-
lance to the readers than the crown
ing of George V as emperor of India.
The country newspaper is of ines
Unable value in maintaining the mr.
al and financial standard of the COM
munity. It is something in which the
entire neighborhood can feel COM
mon interest. It is deserving of the
steady support, not only of the home
folks, but also of those who look back
with cherished memories to their life
in the country town.

Nomination for Presidency
Accepted by Clemenceau

1t was announced last night in
Paris, says a dispatch from New
York under date of the 10th instant,
that Premier Clemenceau has ac-
cepted the nomination for the pres
idency of France. This was the first
definite information that the pre-
mier would stand as candidate, al
though it has been generally assumed
that he would accept the nomination
if rendered him.
It was stated yesterday by one of
M. Clemenceau's supporters that the
premier would have refrained from
public declaration had there been
no opposition to his candidacy.
A plenary caucus of deputies and
senators has been called for tomor-
row at 8 o'clock at which time the
presidential candidates will be chos-
en-. 1t is generally believed that M.
Clemenceau will be nominated on the
first ballot. The principal opposing
candidate is M. Deschanel. Leon
Bourgeois is, however, looming up as
