a private in a Hussar's uniform and
wearing a big red rOSette, invaded
the Hemmelmark estate, Prince Hen
rvs SchlesWig-H -H0lStein country seat,
on the preteXt of searching for hidden
arms. The invaders turned the place
inside out, but found no arms. Then
the leader said to the prince: Come,
Henry" whereupOn the Prince was
made to run the gauntlet, suffering
nnumerabe kicks and blows. After
wards he was locked up in a jail at
Rerckensferde, where he was tortur-
ed nightly. He was awakened every
ten minutes with Get up, Henry"
turn on the light: lie down, Henry"
amid the jeers and insults from his
captOrS.

owners have been the victims of as

New Class Organized

To study the application of relig-
ious principles to the industrial and
social problems of today.
A rare opportunity is being offered
to study the application of religious
principles to industrial and social
problems under the very able leader
ship of Rev. C. F. West. This class
takes up the study of such problems
as "Trade unions;" The Struggle be-
tween Capital and Labor; Socialism
immigration and Foreign Relations.
Texts and references on all of these
questions are found in the Bible and
throughout all discussions of these
questions the religious background
shall be kept in mind
Discussion of up-to-date topics of
this nature gives better citizenship
training as well as training of re-
ligious nature.
This class viii meet every Sunday
morning at the Lutheran Church at
9:45 o'clock. Last Sunday at that
hour the class organized, electing
Rev. West as teacher; E. G. Richard
son as President, and Everett McVey

fumbled the ball and Bethany re-
covered it on their twenty-five yard
line. With main strength and lot
of luck they plunged it across their

then on until the finish of the game
there was a real battle.
AT the end of the first half the Nor

The Tigers came back IN the begin

their eyes and fought the Bethany
team off their feet; and Shade, the
Tigers fullback, ran for touchdown
Busch Gross kicked the goal.
At the beginning of the fourth
quarter everything looked favorable
for the Tigers but the Bethany team
had the same fire in their eyes, so the
fourth quarter of the game was
