Herr Kunert, a socialist member of the reichstag, at the sitting Friday, according to a Rou ter dispatch from Amsterdam, which quotes the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, questioned the government about the incorporation of foreigners into the German army. He declared the foreigners in this category in cluded North American citizens who had been provided with official identi fication papers. Ilerr Kunert asked what the chancellor contemplated do ing in connection with this subject. Colonel Marquardt, replying for the government, said the war minister would communicate with military commanders, and after an investiga tion of the whole question, would or der the release of any person unjustly incorporated into the army. Kunert then asked whether the chancellor was aware that the same compulsory measure had been applied to Frenchmen and Poles? Colonel Marquardt's answer was that he had nothing to add to what he already had said. When Kunert insisted upon knowing what action the chancellor intended to take against such violation of inter national law and violence, the presi dent intervened, saying this was a new question.

You Will Be Surprised at the low prices of w Ti AT OUR STORE- EXCLUSIVE WaS! The Journal has on several occa sions warned the farmers of the im- pending shortage of steel and other , commodities used in the manufacture j of fn- ra implements, j Ad lit i.r.al emphasis is g ven on this (J the college of agriculture university of Lincoln, who advises that the ap portionment of steel to the implement manufacturing concerns this year wi! only be half the normal amount, be cause of the heavy demands of the government. As affording considerable relief to this situation the Journal has hereto fore and again advised the farmers to look well over the discarded machinery about the farm, much of this can be repaired at nominal expense, and in many cases made equal if not better than new by our local machine shops, as Flattsmouth now has in operation one of the best machine shops in the country (the Western Machine and Foundry, under the management of Mr. L. C. Sharp), we cannot under the circumstances recommend too strongly that our farmers take advantage of these domestic opportunities whereby they can have their mowers, reapers, hellers, grinders, binders, engines, tractors, pumps, and tools generally overhauled or rebuilt into practically new and useful machines. Many val uable machines have been discarded by farmers simply because parts be come worn, perhaps broken or work hard; frequently these troubles are only minor and can be quickly, and at small expense, be renewed at local ma chine shops. Hundreds of thousands of dollars of good machinery goes to the scrap yearly from the farms, when if such machines were turned over to our community shop, could be saved for much useful service. We would advise farmers to take advantage of cur local shops on the conservation of such machinery, the advantages are many fold, this work keeps our men emploj-ed and the money is spent at home, it is a convenience to the farm ers as well as a saving in money for himself. In this connection we take pleasure in calling attention to the advertisement of the Western Machine and Foundry, located in Plattsmouth, whose ad appears elsewhere in this paper, we recommend them fully to the machine users of the community. ANNOUNCE3IENT OF MARRIAGE. Paper and Faint Store I Hotel Riley Block, Plattsmouth k The friends of Miss Caroline Greenwald have received the an nouncement of her marriage to Mr. Fred W.

A number of the families in the resi dent section of the city have reported that in the last few days there has been numerous cases of children vis iting the homes of parties during their absence and taking flowers and mashing up beds of flowering plants and shrubs in a very serious manner. This is something that should be looked into, and the parents of chil dren should look after them and see that these depredations are checked before some of the young people get into serious trouble as a result of it. & -House C I 7 lis Time- h usually brings about a change in the arrangement of your drap eries and also necessitates the purchase of new ones.
