BEN ED. DOANE, Publisher. JASPER INDIANA Life Is Egypt is Just one sultan after another. Wouldn't a straw hat look funny on the street today? But many a woman isn't as blond as she is peroxidized. Why that broad belt on the overcoats back? Ornament? If you shiver with the cold think of the poor fellows in the trenches. Many a myth has been exploded In the war. Unfortunately, that is not all. Thrj worst thing about firing across the border is that it might ruin the films. Of those feminine fashions from London, it may be said that they look it Now that allUhe generals are being interviewed, war may end sooner than was expected. Bargains In radium can be snapped these days. A whole gram i3 selling now for only $40,000. That was a mean remark. The brute said to women past twenty-five, marriage is a grab-bag. It Is consensus of parental opinion that every well regulated home should contain a toy repair shop. Don't throw away the old fly swatter. Cold weather won't last forever and 'twill be useful again. Whales, it Is discovered, are good to eat and cheap. What a splendid thing for boarding houses. . v British women being trained in cooking will be much in demand after the war is over, as well as now. Living in a trench has its inconveniences but a person there is at least safe from bill collectors. It is tough on a girl to sit around all the evening with her lips nicely sterilized and have nobody call. The more a newspaper man 'reads about life in the trenches the more comfort he discovers in a hall bedroom. Did you ever hear a golfer talk to a ball that hadn't done what he wanted it to? No? Well, there are things we can't print. The eagle on American coins has never been so despised by any of the country's haters that they refused our eagleized money. "Quietly read a poem before going to bed," says an Atlanta paper. Some people can't read a poem during the day without falling asleep. Now that it is possible to take pictures under the sea some enterprising photographer may get a snapshot of a real mermaid combing her hair. It is said this country is facing a diamond famine. The horrors of war are coming perilously near us, with such a contingency staring us in the face. At present Europe is not worried by complaints of American tourists about tips and big hotel bills; but she does not seem any better satisfied than when they resounded in every city. Occasionally a crowd cheers In the hope that the speaker will feel that he has made a hit and might as well stop right there. . Out in Oregon a chauffeur named Hellwagon has asked the court to change his name, and yet some will think it seems especially appropriate. The value of the new powder that stops tho flow of blood would be materinllv minimized if thf rmfinnc wrmifi - J " IIUU1U the other kind of powder in thei a eir guns. If a horse could talk he would probably tell you how grateful he was to you for having him roughshod. Or. if you care to look at it from the selfish standpoint, he can do twice as much vork for you. A cargo of 63,000 cases of frozen eggs from China, by way of the Panama canal, have arrived in New York. Their ultimate destination is believed to be the war zone of Europe. For use as mines or bombs? 'Building burned with $500," says a headline. Couldn't somebody have kicked in with $1,000, and made it a "conflagration?" It is just possible that the censor is u bit slow in announcing victories on account of the uncertainty as to what the enemy will do next. That German officer who tried to escape from England in a trunk showed his bravery. by Intrusting himself to the tender mercies of the baggage masher.

ö. JB., 15 Uli J. R. LAWSON CHARGES OIL KING'S SON IGNORES TOILERS EVEN WHILE THEY STARVE. RAKES THE FOUNDATION, TOO Official of United Mine Workers Says Institution Seeks to Substitute Philanthropy for Justice Tells of Suffering Among Workers. New York, Jan. 30. Coming almost straight from the office of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., where he had a "friendly chat" with him over conditions in the mines of Colorado, John R. Lawsona member of the executive board of the United Mine Workers for the district including Colorado, read before the federal commission on industrial relations a scathing indictment of Mr. Rockefeller and the attitude he had displayed before the commission. The policies and purposes of the $100,000,000 Rockefeller foundation and the recent utterances of young Mr. Rockefeller on the witness stand were assailed by Mr. Lawson. Money "Withheld" From Toiler. In assailing the Rockefeller foundation he asserted that one of the causes of industrial discontent was that very philanthropy and the feeling that the millions "spread over the world in showy generosity" were derived from the "money withheld from the wages of the American working class." Mr. Lawson criticized young Rockefeller for his lack of knowledge of conditions among employees of the Colorado Fuel company, and said he was "equally as ignorant and indifferent as his trusted executives." "Your body can well afford to let the testimony of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., bring your investigation to an end," Mr. Lawson told the commission. "Out of his mouth came a reason for every discontent that agitates the laboring class in the United States today, and if remedies are provided for the injustices that he disclosed a long step will be taken away from industrial disturbance." Mr. Lawson told of the shooting of striking miners in Colorado, the shattering of miners' homes, how hundreds were "dumped in 1903 into the desert .without food ot water," while others were driven over the snow of the mountain ranges. Philanthropy "for Birds." The philanthropy of the Rockefellers Mr. Lawson referred to as follows: "Health for China, a refuge ior birds, food for Belgians, pensions for New York widows, university training for the elect and never a thought or a dollar for thousands of men, women and children who starved in Colorädo; for the widows robbed of husbands, children of their fathers. "There are thousands of Mr. Rockefeller's employees in Colorado who wish to God they were in Belgium to be fed, or a bird to be tenderly cared for." Air. Lawson's statement was a rehearsal of the testimony of young Mr. Rockefeller and a vigorous arraignment of him for not having investigated the Colorado situation in detail. KILLS 3 WITH SILENT GUN New York Real Estate Operator Murders Wife, Two Daughters and Ends Own Life. New York, Feb. 2. Armed with a magazine rifle equipped with a Maxim silencer, Herman Auerbach, until recently a wealthy real estate operator, despondent because of his financial reverses, shot and killed his wife and two daughters as they slept, and then, returning to his own bed. killed himself. His son, Lester, a high school student, was the only member of the family left alive. Auerbach used dumdum bullets. The boy was not even awakened. The murders and suicide took place in an exclusive apartment house on Central Park west. ANTILOBBY BILL TO RALSTON House of Indiana Legislature Concurs in Senate Amendment Act to Be in Force Next Week. Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 30. The house concurred in the senate amendment to the Perry Davis antilobby bill and the bill is now ready for the governor. As the governor advocated the bill and as it has an emergency clause the act is expected to be in force next week. There was no roll call, the amendments being concurred in by viva voce vote. FRENCH WARSHIP IS SUNK Torpedo Boat Destroyer 219 Lost on Belgian Coast Town Shelled by Germans. London, Feb. 2. -Reports from Paris say that the French torpedo boat 21!) has been sunk off Xieuport, Belgium It is reported also through the same source that German aeroplanes have succeeded in throwing some bombs on the French town of Bailleul. nine miles east of Hazebrouck and near the Belian frontier.

AUSTRIA CLAIMS BIG GAIN ON THE CZAR'S MEN Reports Capturing 10,000 Prisoners in Battle in Carpathians Russ Are Advancing. Vienna, via London, Feb. 1. An official statement issued here says: "The result of recent vigorous battles in the Carpathians has been the reconquest of the passes. In severe actions lasting a week the Austrian troops fought with the greatest perseverance and stubbornness. Although often lighting in deep snow, they have won great successes, and we have captured a total of 10,000 prisoners and six machine guns." London, Feb. 1. The Russian outflanking movement in northern East Prussia is said to be gaining momentum. The armies on each side of Tilsit have cut the German railway between that city and Memel on the Baltic. On the southern front in East Prussia another army is advancing toward the German fortress of Thorn, while still another is holding a line of intrenchments which protect Warsaw and which General von Hindenburg has been trying to batter through for three months. What is regarded as the most important campaign, however, is that which is developing in the Carpathians. So far, as can be gathered from contradictory reports the Russians have won preliminary skirmishes in the -western passes from Dukla to Wyszkow, while to the east they have been forced to retire before superior forces. The rearward communications of the Russians in Galicia are threatened, the report says, by the Austrians. DACIA SAILS; FACES CAPTURE Captain McDonald Starts for Rotterdam Under Order of Breitung Has Big Cotton Cargo. Galveston, Feb. 1. The steamship Dacia departed at noon from Galveston for Rotterdam with 11,000 bales of cotton to be transshipped to Bremen. Telegraphic orders to get under way were received by Capt. George McDonald from E. N. Breitung of New York, the owner. The Dacia's cotton cargo is valued by the shippers at SSS0,000 or 16 cents a pound laid down in Bremen. The sailing of the Dacia is expected to add another chapter to the international incident which was begun when the former Hamburg-American line steamer was transferred from German to American registry shortly after the vessel was interned at Port Arthur. Tex., following the outbreak of the European war. Britain considers the vessel contraband and has announced that British warships will seize her. 3 BRITISH AVIATORS LOST Part of Air Squadron Which Bornbarded Ostend and Zeebrugge Said to Have Been Worsted. London, Feb. 1. Wireless advices from Berlin bring a report that of seven English aeroplanes which have bombarded Ostend and Zeebrugge three failed to return. It is stated that these three machines were surrounded by German aircraft and chased into the open sea. The above dispatch may indicate a new British air raid on the Belgian coast town. The last British air raid reported in that direction occurred at Zeebrugge on January 22. Two British aviators took part in this attack, and it was stated that their bombs damaged a submarine and killed or wounded the crews of the guns mounted on the Mole. The German report of this raid said that no damage was doue. Miss Biddle Will Marry -A. B. Duke. Philadelphia. Feb. I. Mr. and .Mrs A. J. Drexel Biddle announced the en-: gagement of their daughter.

FOUR STEAMERS TORPEDOED BY GERMAN SUBMARINE IN IRISH SEA. BIG OCEAN LINERS GUARDED Persons on Board Boats Forced to Take to Small Craft, But Are Given Time to Get Belongings AM Vessels to Be Guarded by English Fleet. London, Feb. 1. The German submarine blockade of the British isles is in full effect. Five British merchantmen, one of them the Ben Cruachen, have been torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-21 off Fleetwood, in the Irish sea. Their crews, compelled to take to the boats, were rescued by trawlers. One of the other steamers sunk was the Linda Blanche. A German submarine torpedoed and sunk the British steamer Kilcoan 18 miles northwest of Liverpool bar in the Irish sea. A dispatch from Havre tells of the sinking in the channel of the British steamer Tokomaru, carrying food supplies to Belgium, from a mysterious explosion which is believed here to have been caused by another submarine. The crew of 57 men were rescued by the trawler Hooper and taken to Havre, where they were landed. Steamer Graphic Escapes. The steamer Graphic, reaching the Mersey, reported that it had been chased by a submarine, but owing to superidr speed it had managed to escape. The passengers and crew were panic stricken. Fortunately, however, the Graphic was able to outsteam the hostile craft, which gave up the chase once the mouth of the Mersey was reached. The members of the crew of the Ben Cruachen were able to save only a small portion of their belongings. The Linda Blanche's complement were more fortunate. They were permitted to get all of their personal effects and to carry them with them into the boats. All Shipping in Peril. The appearance of the Ihostile submarines off the west coast of England came as a surprise. News of this latest drive, by the German navy reaching London is accepted as meaning that from now on all British shipping will be in extreme danger. So serious is the situation considered that the admiralty has already taken steps to guard all incoming transatlantic liners. Many Destroyers Sent Out. It is admitted that the policy outlined by Grand Admiral von Tirpitz of the German navy of torpedoing and sinking all of the merchantmen of the allies who attempt to bring foodstuffs into the British isles was in no way an idle threat. Already the entire British flotilla of destroyers has been ordered out from the various harbors all along the coasts. In addition the scout cruiser fleet is searching for German submarines, as it is realized that the U-21 can hardly be alone. Germany to Shipping. Berlin (by wireless), Feb. 2. The German admiralty admitted through the government press bureau that it was the submarine U-21 which sank several British merchant ships in the Irish sea. "Germany has inaugurated a serious campaign of submarine warfare against British shipping and more developments may be expected," said an announcement.

PRESIDENT WILSON VETOES THE IMMIGRATION BILL In Message to Congress Executive Expresses Regret for Having to Return Measure Unsigned. Washington, Jan. 29 President Wilson vetoed the immigration bill in the following message to congress: "In two particulars of vital consequence this bill embodies a radical departure from the traditional and longestablislied policy of this country, a policy in which our people have conceived the very character of their government to be expressed, the very mission and spirit of the nation in respect of its relations to the peoples of the world outside their borders. It seeks to all but close entirely the gates of asylums which always have been open to those who could find nowhere else the right and opportunity of constitutional agitation for what they conceived to be the natural and inalienable rights of man; and it excludes those to whom the opportunity of elementary education has been denied, without regard to their character, their purposes, or their natural capacity. "Restrictions like these, adopted earlier in our history as a nation, would have very materially altered the course and cooled the humane ardors of cur politics. "The literacy test and the tests and restrictions which accompany it constitute an even more radical change in the policy of the nation. Hitherto we have generously kept our doors open to all who are not unfitted by reason of disease or incapacity for self-support or such personal records and antecedents as were likely to make them a menace to our peace and order or to tlifi wTholesome and offensive relationships of life. In this bill it is proposed to turn away from tests of character and of quality and impose tests which exclude and restrict; for the new tests here embodied are not tests of quality or of character or of personal fitness, but tests of opportunity. "If the people of this country have made up their minds to limit the number of immigrants by arbitrary tests and so reverse the policy of all the generations of Americans that have gone before them, it is their right to do so. I am their servant and have no license to stand in their way. But I do not believe that they have. "I have no pride of opinion in this question. I am not foolish enough to profess to know the wishes and ideals of America better than the body of her chosen representatives know them. I only want instructions direct from those whose fortunes, with ours and all men's, are involved. (Signed) ' "WOODROW WILSON." KAISER UNDER HOT FIRE German Ruler Left Exposed Position Only After Aids Insisted on Him Seeking Safe Place. Berlin, via London, Feb. 1. -The Correspondence agency of this city asserts that it learns from a dependable source that Emperor Wlliam stood in a heaVjy fire at the battle of Soissons, and that it was only after insistent representations from his ento; rage that he consented, aftera long while, to leave the exposed position.
