WILSON'S REPLY
SENT TO LONDON
unequivocaI Statement of y. S.
Position on Adriatic Question
Made BY President.
WASHINGTON PLEASED
Believed at Capital That Note Win
Remove Matter From Arguments
tative Stape-contents Not
Made Public.

Washington. - President Wilson's
reply to the Entente powers on the
Adriatic question has gone forward
State department officials stin refused
to discuss the contents of the docu.
ment, but feeling of satisfaction was
noticeable in administration circles
that Mr.. Wilson had made an unequi-
vocal statement Of the American gov.
eminent position
While further exchanges on the sub.
ject are expected, it is believed that
with the delivery of the Presidents
note by Ambassador Davis at London,
the question will have been removed
from the argumentative stage
Although the premiers have for
warded to Jugo-Slavia in the form of
an ultimatum the settlement arrived
at without the participation of the
United States, 1t is said they have not
closed the way to return to the Paris
agreement of December 8, to which
the United States was q party. In
the general belief here they have not
overlooked suggesting tina. the Amer
lean government point the way to the
carrying out of an agreement which
Italy holds to Re unacceptable.
Officials here do not regard the stu
alton as at all acute, nor do they be-
lieve that condition will arise from
the exchanges in which the United
States will have to consider whether
it can become party to the treaty Of
Versailles. The Allied answer to the
President seems to have clarified the
certainly to this extent.
1t was settled that the EXCHANGES
will not be made public, at least by
the American government, until after
the Presidents note has been deliv-
cred to the Allies. Whether they will
be given out then will depend on the
wishes OF the British, French and
Italian governments. So far as the
United States is concerned there is no
desire to withhold the notes.

When General Emilio AguinaldO was

who brought the proceedings, would be
required to furnish bond to protect the

Carl Fitzsimmons Dead.

Monday morning at $3.50 Carl
Henry FitzSimmons passed away at
the hospital, after an illness extend
ing since about Nov. Is, when he was
taken with pleurisy. The deceased
was q son of Mr.. and Mrs. c. G. Fitz-
Simmons and was born in Kane
county, Illinois, near Elgin % years
ago last December. He came to De-
corah with his parents March !,
1913. One year ago he entered into
partnership with his brother in the
milk business and the firm had been
very successful. The deceased was a
fine young man, we'll liked by every
body, as he possessed a congenial
disposition which made him many
warm friends, and his death brings
sorrow to all. He is survived by the
bereaved wife and one son three
years old, besides his parents, two
brothers and one sister and the SYM
pathy OF ALI is extended to them.
The funeral services were held this
Wednesday morning from ST. Bene-
diets Catholic church. Rev. Father

Married Monday Afternoon.

TIE marriage of Miss Ruby Mabel
Sharp to Mr.. William B. Erickson
took place in DEBORAH last Monday
afternoon at 4;30 o'clock. The cere-
mony was performed at the Norweg-
ian church parsonage by Rev. o.
Glesne. They were attended by Miss
Myrtle Sharp, sister of the bride who
acted as bridesmaid, and George
Baker, close friend of the couple
acted as best man. The bride is the
second daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. J. Sharp and is one of Winneshiek

TEEN of large number of friends.
The husband of her choice is a son

with their many friends in extending
to them best wishes for a long and
happy married life.

Ice Coupon Books.

In last weeks advertisement about
Ice Coupon books, some people mis-
construed the meaning. 1t was meant
for those who are taking ice at the
present time. Other people who will
take ice later in the season can get
their coupons then at the Winnie
shiek County State Bank or Citizens
Savings Bank. We adopted this plan
OF buying coupon books at the banks
and we find some of our customers
are not in favor of the plan This
method has been carried out in all
our nearby cities, and it has been
very satisfactory, and We think the
people will find it so here when they
try it out. In order that We can dis
tribute the ice as cheap as possible,
the people must help in cutting down
expense of collectors, etc. So when
you wish ice, go the banks and get
your coupon books, and notify them
when you want it delivered.

NATIONAL WEEK OF SONG.
Will Be Observed in DEBORAH Week
of March IA.


+ The National Week of Song, which
was postponed in DEBORAH on ac-
count of the flu epidemic, will be OBJ
served the week of March IA. The
people in charge have done great
deal Of work to make this success,
and it seems to have taken hold
nicely with the public. 1t is a good
thing to sing. In the cantonments,
during the war, sings were held
every day, and every soldier took
part. It made him a better soldier,
and a good community sing makes
us all better for it.
The weeks program, in so far as
lis known at this writing, is as fol-
lows:
The churches of the city will be
asked to devote their services in a
large part to singing, on Sunday,
March IA. In the First N. e. L..
church a sacred cantata entitled "The
Gentle Shepherd, by John S. Witty,
will be given by the DEBORAH Junior
Choir, lately organized.
On Tuesday, the 10th, the DEBORAH
Choral Union will render in the First
N. E. l.. church, Hayden's "The Gre
alton" The chorus and orchestra is
hard at work, and as in the past, will
give a good account of themselves.
The admission price has been fixed
at so cents. This is so low that all
music lovers will have an opportun-
ity of hearing this great masterpiece.
Often, people get the impression that
an oratorio is dry This is not the
case with THE Creation 1t is fun
if life, and to hear it is a great
treat and a real pleasure. The church
should be crowded to the doors, as
no doubt it will be. 1t is interesting
to know that it was just 80 years
ago, this date, that THE Creation"
was first given in DEBORAH. 1t has
been some years since it was last
given.
Thursday evening, in the college
auditorium, Luther College will give
public program. Admission free.
This will consist of number by the
Luther College Band, solos, and
speeches. We are certain that this
will prove to be one of the weeks
best programs, and all should avail
themselves of this opportunity to
hear some of the talent at the col
lege.
A combined concert by the music
ians of the city, and big Com
munity Sing will be given during the
week. Just what evenings will be set
apart for these programs is not yet
known.
We hope to be able to give COM
plete programs of the different con-
certs next week. Prepare to attend
and take part.

John C. KIinkenberg Dead.

Last Wednesday, Feb. 81, John C.
Klinkenberg, one of the prominent
and well known farmers of Frank
vile township passed away. He was
taken i'll first with influenza which
developed into pneumonia. He was
in his 66th year and for many years
was one of the progressive and sue
cessful farmers of this county. He
never married, and of late years had
made his home with his brother
Peter. The funeral services were held
Monday and burial was in the Wash
ington Prairie cemetery.

ORATORS ARE COMING.
Luther to Entertain Iowa Collegiate
Orators Here March B.


The Iowa Collegiate Oratorical Con-
test is held at the various colleges
in turn. Since there are thirteen
members it is only once in so many
years that any one school has an OBJ
portunity to entertain such a dele
cation. This contest has never be-
fore been held in DEBORAH, and many
Of US will most likely not be in the
city when another such contest is
held. Hence We should not give up
such an opportunity as to hear the
six best Iowa Collegiate orators de-
liver their orations to decide who
shall represent Iowa in the Inter-
State oratorical contest later in the
spring. 1t will be well worth while
to attend the contest.
Then, too, if the Grand opera
house is well filled we can expect
much more from the orators than IL
they were compelled to speak to a
few people. 1t is by far easier 20
speak to large interested audience
than to small audience of critics
The expense of such contest is
naturally quite large, hence a small
admission fee of % cents is to be
charged. Such a price of admission
to listen to such a treat as this
should not keep anyone away.
Owing to the Flu" ban few enter
tainments have been staged in De-
corah this winter. Therefore when
such a thing as this comes to our
city we should all attend If we pos
sibly can. An orchestra from Luther
College will furnish music before the
speaking and during the tabulation
of decision.
Let us pack the opera house on
this memorable occasion, next Fri
day evening, March 5, at 500 p. M.
The following orators will take
part:
/. Gilbert Evans-National Charac-
ter.
2. Dwight ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Responsibility in the Far East.
3. Jacob H. Trefz-The Demand of
the Hour.
4. Mervel NJ. Stockwell-From Fall
