IT was a grand sortie. Bells, drums
and trumpets should have accom-
panied their progress through the
streets of Paris.
Throughout headquarters, all was

Raoul was beginning to get restive.
Not that he felt the least alarm, but
he never liked delay in the execution
of his decisions: once his mind was
made up, action spelt security. He
fully realized that Big Pauls return
to health would increase the danger
of his own position, and that the
marquis evidence and Antonine's
sworn statement could but add to his
difficulties.
Everything was ready for depar-

preferring to be alone when danger
threatened. The luggage was strapped
on the car.

struck him.

fatal mistake of not inquir;ng first

line. Not recognizing either the

ATTENDANCE FOR FOURTH
MONTH
Attendance LOW-Due to Christmas
Workers

The attendance for the fourth
month was at the very low average
OF 96.8 per cent. The reason for this
average is probably due to the fact
that number of high school stu
dents worked during the holidays
The Junior class led the school with
an average of 97.2 per cent but the
seniors were hard behind them with
an average Of 81 per cent. The
freshmen and sophomores tied for
third place with 965 per cent. The
Juniors have it all over the rest of
the school, however, because home

age of 99.6 per cent.

HINCKLEY STATION
ATTENDANT is HELD
UP AND RO B B E D

Richard Braun, night attendant
at the Barnsdall filling station in
Hinckley, knows now what it feels
like to be held up and robbed. Two
men drove up to the station at
about 4 o'clock Friday morning
and asked for gasoline. After
being served, one of the men fol-
lowed Mr.. Braun into the station
office while the other stayed in
the car. When inside the door of
the office the man drew a gun
and ordered Mr.. Braun to shell
out" He took what money the
attendant had and also the money
changer belt. When asked to have
a heart and to just take the
money the bandit told his victim
to not get funny and said, II
mean business" With that re-
mark he backed Mr.. Braun into
the rest room and escaped.
Even though Mr.. Braun es-
capped from his captivity immedi
ately and notified Marshal Lam
merits, no trace of the bandits
could be found.

MUST BE
LICENSED THIS MONTH

February %, 1884, is the last day
on which applications may be made
for drivers licenses, according to adj
vices from the Motor Vehicle depart
ment. Clerk of Court William Mista
reports that approximately 5000 ap-
plications have been made thus far,
with a balance of about 5000 yet to
make applications in Pine county.
Indications are that there may be an
eleventh hour rush making it difficult
for the clerk of court to handle the
applications in time. This applies
to all those who are not members
under the heads of families or who
are heads Of families. For instance,
If a man has applied for a license
and received his license card, those
members of his family whom he listed
in his application, must now also ap-
pear in person and apply for their
individual license. They must also
bring the head of the familys license
card with them as the number there
on goes on the members license.

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

At the present time we hear so
much of a new war approaching with
in the near future that some of us
begin to feel that the continued in
vocation of the fictitious wolf finally
may result in the beasts actual ma
terialiZatiOn. Let it be said, however,
that so far there is no compelling
cause of war in sight anywhere, but
that energetic and systematic propa-
ganda in favor of increased armies
and navies in itself constitutes the
most serious danger now apparent.
While no cause of war can be seen
anywhere, there are plenty of poten-
tial causes-that is. of conflicts which
if not solved may develop into real
menaces to the peace of the world.
Germany and France.
AS far as Europe is concerned, the
everlasting friction between Germany
and France goes on. Very briefly
said, this conflict is due to the in
sistence on the part of Germany that
it be allowed to maintain an army
of 100000 men instead of the 100000
stipulated by the Versailles peace
treaty, and also to the unyielding
French insistence that no concessions
will be made unless steps are taken
to guarantee the national existence
of that country.
Several things have happened in
regard to the Franco-German problem
within the last few days.
First of all, France has bluntly re-
jected the German claim for a larger
army, and has also refused to enter
into negotiations about concluding a
Franco-German nOn-aggressiOn treaty,
suggested by the German government.
Great Britain Steps In.
Then the British government, in
trying to eliminate the possibilities
of danger, suggested in diplomatic
memorandum that the great powers
attempt to reach an agreement on

PATRICK TO FILE
FOR COUNTY JOB
Long Time Resident of Hfnckley, to
be Candidate for Commissioner
of Third District.

A man who has been a resident of
Pine county for As years has decided
to file for the office of county COM
missioner in the Third district. He
is j. S. Patrick of Hinckley, who came
there in 1889 and together with his
family has been a resident of that
community ever since. He will file
with the county auditor within few
days having been requested to do so
by many voters of the district.
After residing in Hinckley for five
years Mr.. Patrick and his family went
through the memorable Hinckley for
est fire of 1894. He was a member
of the village council for quarter
of a century, served on the school
board six years and about 80 years
ago, as a young man, was postmaster
of the community for one term.
Mr.. Patrick is a man who can say

feel that his varied experiences fit
him well for the county office. He
was a road contractor for some years
and has built many miles OF Pine
county roads. He was a general mer-
chant for Is years and of late years
has owned and operated a 240 acre
diversified farm east of the village,
in Barry township, besides buying po-
