World War Isn't Over for These Two

- HEYENNE, WYO.-1t's a far call
from the war-tOrn Germany of
1916 to the peaceful Chugwater
Flats. WyO., Of 1921, but Adolf Pfnder
made 1t in his confession here Of an
attempt to rob the state bank of Chug-
water by himself and his ally, Herman
J. Kusel, in declaration of war
against America and all things Ameri-
can. Kusel, old enough to be Flinders
father-grim, taciturn, fidgeting from
the sting of more than 300 birdshOt
in his back and arms-listened to his
young confederate's disconnected mar
rative and affirmed outstanding points
by interoplating cultural sentences.
Kusel, fifty-fve years old, Swiss by
birth, was shot down and captured at
Chugwater. Pfnder, plunging into
thicket, escaped for the time, made
his way afoot, by automobile and by
train 40 miles to Bushnell, Neb., in
26 hours, and there was arrested by
pursuing officers in a clothing store
which he and Kusel had established as
base for their campaign against
American law and order.
Kusel, when the war broke out, was
tailor at Sterling, Colo. Pfinder was
a student in Germany. They were
acquainted, but how they became so
the story did not reveal. Kusel, the
Swiss, was intensely pro-German in

TORETELLING the future, one
reads in the crystal globe Of
prophecy a promise Of holiday
festivities, grand opera, dances at the
club and various formal functions
which being interpreted means-evc-
ming dress.
When mere man says in describing
her frOck, "She was dressed in simple
white" do not be misled, for it is al
most certainty that the simple
white" was a rare French creation,
wherein "art concealed is revealed the
most" Now this prepares for what
we are about TO say, that simple
white is the latest within of fashion
for evening gowns. For instance,
white chiffon velvet is classically
draped without trace of ornamental
ton, except pearl garniture, after the
princess style. With this is carried
a marvellous mauye ostrich fan. The
slippers are OF silver brocade with
rhinestone buckles. Another dainty
white frock for young girl is Of
cleaning ivory satin, made bouffant.

Soap and Water.

The Icelandic word geyser meaning
vehement or impelled, has been so
adopted as a household word and, in
general, connected with heating water,
that it is scarcely recognized as COM
ing from the volcanic districts of Ice
land, where the natural formation of
fountains Of boiling water thrown into
the air to height Of more than 100
feet are a feature in the landscape
which is as picturesque as it is in
teresting.
In order to induce the largest geyser
in the most important group Of vol
canic springs in Iceland to "show off,
during the visit Of the king Of Den
mark and the royal party who accom-
panied him, large quantity Of soap
was placed in the basin because for
some years this particular spring had
shown no activity of an explosive
kind and this method of inducing an
eruption is one that has always found
favor.

Gentlemen: With the installation
of the new officers the work Of the
Joint Campaign Committee with ref
erence to the recall election was COM
pleted. The election and installation
of these officials would not have been
possible without the splendid cooper
alton on the part of the daily and
weekly newspapers Of the state. The
daily papers have contributed thous-
ands of dollars worth of space in the
effort to carry the truth to the people
Permit me, therefore, in behalf of the
Joint Campaign Committee to extend
to the Times Record and its staff the
sincerest gratitude Of the Joint Cam
paign Committee for it's splendid CO.
operation in the campaign that closed
with the installation at the state cap
itol of Nestos. johnson and Kitchen.
Sincerely yours,
JOINT CAMPAIGN COMMITTEES
Thee. G. Nelson, Sec.

Contrasting these are the Spanish
lace gowns Of midnight blackness.
Right here let it be said that lace
frocks are quite the prevailing fashion.
Straight line dresses vie with the
bouffant-fitted waist modes. Chiffon
velvet, also brocade. divides honor
with crepe for the former. In gowns
# this sort, decollette is no more e1-
IRENE, the bottom Of the skirt is ir-
regular and for formal wear the
sleeves are nil
Speaking of flower garnitures, the
latest idea is to accent the left hip
with huge cluster or chou of petals
The thought is featured in the allur-
ing orchid crepe frock of our ilustra-
ton. The beads are iridescent and
are artfully patterned in stimulation
of broad ceinture (girdle) effect.

sympathy; so strongly so, In fact, that
eventually after the United States en-
tered the war, he was adjudged an
enemy alien, it is alleged, and his lit
tie property was contiscated. Before
that took place, however, he admitted
that he had conspired with Pfnder
for the latter to come to America and
engage with him in securing informa-
ton which might aid Germany in COM
batting America.
He joined Kusel too late for con-
summation Of their plan to aid Ger
many by acting as spies, but their
mutual hatred Of America and every
thing American inspired them to COM
bine revenge with profit by striking
at what they conceived to be the Amer
leans pocketbooks; and this, they de-
cided, best might be accomplished by
the robbery of banks.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"TR EACLE."

THOSE who have stumbled
across the reference in
Walters ode to Charles
II to "treacle yielded by your
vipers' have naturally been
puzzled to see the connection
between a poisonous snake and
the English name for Sirup or
mOlasses, a connection which
dates back to the days Of
legendary lore.
'"Treacle' was originally Il
Greek word and, wrapped up in
it, was the once popular belief
that the best antidote for the
sting of a snake was Il cOncOc-
ton made from the tissues of
the snake itself-a sort Of chair
Of the dog is good for the bite"
idea. Milton speaks Of the SOY
ereign "treacle of sound doc
trine," while "Venice- treacIe" nr
viper vine WAS Il common
name for a supposed antidOte
against all poisons. Treacle,
meaning first this antidote, was
first broadened in meaning to
include any cure through medi-
cine; then contracted to mean
only those medicines whicl.
were of sweet sirup- nature
and, finally, restricted to the
particular strip which is called
by that name today-a sirup
which, however, has no medici-
nal properties whatever.

German government would soon be on
it's feet, and that her financiers would
quickly bring the mark back to 23.8
cents, its pre-war worth. The bait
was attractive.
The decline in marks is due to the
oversupply furnished by the German
printing press, including treasury
notes and other forms of paper cur
rency. The German circulation now
outstanding is in excess of 100000
100000 marks. The gold held by the
reichsbank is only about I per cent of
this sum.
Germany is already virtually bank
rupt as to it's internal debt. Is it the
thought anywhere in Berlin that by
causing or pleading bankruptcy as to
the external Or reparational debt the
situation could not be worse and some
thing might turn up to make it better?

RIDES
OVER 10000 MILES

The country appeal Of Anna
Case, the popular concert soprano
who appears in recital on December 8
in the College Auditorium, may be
judged from the fact that during the
past season this beautiful artist trav-
eled more than 10000 miles filling en-
gagements, and appeared at such
widely scattered points as Tampa,
Fla, Los Angeles: CAL, Seattle.
Wash, and St. John, N. 8. Canada.

Although this is given as a COM
plete list of homes built in Fargo we
find no mention of the house built for
Totten. 1t is a sad commentary on
the efficiency and integrity OF the
Homebulders Association officials to
note that in only one of the homes
built did the actual cost come within
$4,000 Of the estimated cost, more
especially when we consider that
the homes were built at the time OF
falling prices Of materials and labor;
construction not being started until
June, 1920. We also note that, while
the law governing the operation OF the
Homebuilders Association plainly
states that no money shall be fur
nished for any home to cost in eX-
cess of $4,000 there are eight OF the
houses listed whose estimated cost
was in excess of this amount. The
onlv conclusion which we are able to
draw from these figures is that an
attempt has been made to evade the
law for the benefit of parties friendly
to the administration, possibly as
pavment for services rendered.

readable article on the talent of Miss
Anna Case may be found in the
"Woman's Home Companion for
March, 1918. Since Miss Case is to

less intimate story of this charming

most to be found in her re-engage-
ments in a city. Miss Case has ap-
peared in Detroit, Mich, for four
years in succession, in Canton, Ohio
five times in three years, Montreal,
Canada, for four years in succession
Des Moines, Ia. five times in three
years. In Dallas, Texas, Miss Case
gave such a startling recital to a
crowd of 5000 that four different or
CARNATIONS in that city Immediately
wired her managers after the concert
for booking. In fact there is scarce
ly an exception to the rule that once
an audience hears Miss Case, it must
hear her again.
Rare beauty of voice, radiant beau
ty Of person, keen musical under
standing and the interpretive power
of a genius: magnetic personality, and
a carefully selected program account
for Miss Cases unfailing successes.
