STATE N E W S IN BRIEF. 8alem.— Six men lost their lives In the 50« accident* reported to tbe state Hand Grenades Also Thrown by Mur Industrial accident cetnmlsilon during the week ending Jane 22, according derers Young Republic Coring to the weekly report made public here Serious Situation. Saturday. man foreign minister, and more close ly Identified than sny other German with the efforts for rehabilitation of hla country nines tbe war, waa shot and killed by two or more unknown aaaaaalna while on his way from his residence Saturday morning to the foreign office. The minister was subjected to a veritable hall of bullsta. one o f them striking him In the throat and paaa- Ing upward to tba brain, while others struck him In various part* of the body. Hand grenadea also were thrown, almost wrecking the car In which Dr. Itatbenau waa riding and Inflicting further Injuring on the min ister. Chancellor W lrtli’s government mar shaled the natlon’a element* to the de fense of the young German republic and organised labor, represented In both socialist parties, again was first to buckle on the armor, Juat aa it did during tho Kapp revolt. An nouncement was made that tbe gov ernment would establish extraordinary courts for tbe trial of nationalist plotters and that a state of emergency for Prussia would be proclaimed. A ll regimental reunions and mill- larlstlc demonstrations are to be pro hibited. Yet. despite vociferous cries of ’’long live the republic.” which re sounded through tbe relchstag cham ber at the close of a memorial ses sion to Rathcnau Saturday, thought ful men of all ranks and parties were silently but gravely apprehensive for the nation. W hile the heat of resentment and partisan feeling haa not yet suffi ciently cooled lo warrant a sure ap praisal of the direction In which tbe political effect of Ratbenau’a assas sination will spread, yet this much la certain— the government la facing a far more precarious situation than It did when natlittiallst bullets struck down Krsberger In the Black forest 10 months ago. Tbe emotion which marked the brief addresses o f Chancellor W lrth and President Id>ebe before the relchstag reflected aonttmenta which were shar ed by many others, while the rioting of the radicals throughout what was to have been a decorous memorial to the dead foreign minister reflected the feeling of unrelenting vengeanee vow ed In behalf o f the German proletariat. N ever did the relchstag witness such scenes of turbulence and execratlona. Dr. Karl Helfferlch, the nationalist leader, who attacked Dr. Rathcnau In a savage speech In the relchstag. sat curled up in his scat far to the right of the house.

And that's tbe way Nurse Sarah Pnlxhed her story, only she shrugged her shoulders again, and looked back, first one way, then another. As for her calling me "chatterbox"—she al ways calls me that when she's been doing all the talking. As near as 1 can remember, I bave told Nurse Sarah's story exactly as she told It to me, In her own words. Bat of course I know I didn't get It right all tbe time, and I know I ’ ve left out quite a lot. But, anyway, i f * told a whole lot more than I could have told w hy they got married In the first place, and It brings my story right np to tbe point where I was born; and I ’ ve al ready told about naming me, and what a time they bad over that. O f course what's happened since, up to now, I don't know all about, for I waa only a child for the first few years. Now I’ m almost s young lady, "standing with reluctant feet where tbe brook and river meet." ( I rend that last night. I think It’s perfectly beautiful. So kind o f sad.and sweet. It makes me want to cry every time I think o f It.) But even If I don't know all of what's happened since I was born. I know a good deal, for I've seen quite a lot, and I've made Nurse tell me a lot mote. 1 know that ever since I can remem ber I've bad to keep as still a t a mouse the minute Father conies Into the bouse; and I know that I never could Imagine the kind of a mother that Nurse tells about. If It wasn't that sometimes when Father has gone off on a trip. Mother and I have romped all over tbe house, and had the most beautiful time. I know that Father says that Mother Is always trying to make me a "M arie," and nothing else; and that Mother rays she knows Father’ll never be happy until he's made me Into a stupid little "Mary.“ with never an atom o f life o f my own. And, do you know? It does seem sometimes, as I f Mary and Marie were fighting Inside o f me, and I wonder which Is going to beat. Funny, Isn't It? Father Is president o f the college now, and 1 don't know how many stars and comets and things he’s discov ered since the ntglit tbe atar and I were born together. Bat I know he’s very famous, and that tie’s written up In the papers and magazines, and is In the big fat red “ Who's Who“ In the library, and has lots o f noted men come to see him. Nurse says that Grandma Anderson died very soon after I was bom, but that it didn't make any particular dif ference In tbe ousekeeplng; for things went right oi Just as they had done, with tier giving the orders as before; that she'd given them all alone any way, mostly, the last year Grandma Anderson lived, and she knew Just how Father Uked things. She said Mother tried once or twice to take tbe reins herself, and once Nurse let her, just to see what would happen. But things gut in an awful muddle right away, so that even Father noticed It and said things. A fter that Mother never tried again, I guess. Anyhow, she’s never tried It since I can remem- her. She's always stayed most of the time up In her rooms lu the east wing, except during meals, or when she weut out with me. or went to the things she and Father had to go to together. For they did go to lota of things. Nurse says. It seetus that for a long time they didn't want folks to know there was going to be a divorce. So before folks they tried to be Just as usual. But Nurse Sarah said she knew there was going to be one long ago. Tbe first I ever heard o f It was Nurse telling Nora, the girl we had In tbe kitchen then; and the minute I got a chance I asked Nurse what It was— a divorce. My, I can remember now how scared she looked, and how site clapped her hand over my mouth. She wouldn't tell me— not a w ont And that's the first time I ever saw her give that quick little look over each shoulder. She's done It lots of times since. As I said, she wouldn't tell me. so I hod to ask some one else. I wasn't going to let it go by and not find out — not when Nurse Sarah looked so scared, and when It was something my father and mother were going to have some day. I didn't like to ask Mother. Some way, l had a feeling, from the wsy Nurse Sarah looked, that It was gome- thing Mother wasn't going to like. And I thought If maybe she didn't know yet she was going to have It, .that certainly 1 didn’t want to Jpe the one to tell her. So I didn't ask Mother what a divorce was.
