SAYS THE GAR IS VISIONARY.
Hungarian Historian Discusses the
Much Talked of Peace Note.

London, August 29--Dr Emil Reich, the
eminent Hungarian historian and British
counsel in the Venezuelan arbitration, in
an interview on the subject of the ear S
peace note, expresses the belief that his
majesty is visionary. He says:
"rhe czar is a dreamer. He is not IN ro-
bust health and has always to take great
care of his body. This scheme for universal
ueace is one of his dreams. 1t IS also a
fcint Count MuraVietf. the RUSSIAN mn
lister for foreign affairs, hopes thereby to

have largely added TO her lead in ropula-

HuGhO-CERNAu
ALLIANCE FORMED
Kaiser William and Queen Victo-
ria Are Said to Have an
Agreement.
THEY WILL ACT TOGETHER
Germany and England Will Formulate
a Common Policy in Regard to
Russia and China.

London. September a report was cur
rent here today that a treaty Of alliance
E between Great Britain and Germany ON
the lines Of the speccn Of Mr. Chamberlain,
the secretary of state for the colonies was
actually completed yesterday.
This IS probably an ampliHcHtiou of the
gossip relative to the daily visits of Count
Won Hat2feldt- Weidcuburg, the German
ambassador. to the British foreign office
during the past fortnight. which nave been
attributed to desire upon the part OF
Germany ana Great Britain to formulate
a common policy in regard TO Russia and
China.
Another explanation of the German am
baSsadors visits to the foreign office here
Is that they relative to mixed tribunals Of
Egypt, the international agreement on the
subject ending in February. Through
French and Russian influence THE court
has always hampercd the British plans for
the use of the Egyptian savings and the
advancement of Egypt.
Now it is said an agreement has been
almost reached by which Germany will
support the British views relative to the
future composition and powers of the mixed
tribunals.
Helps Germany in Syria.
1t Is SAID that as a Quid pro quo for
Germanys support in Egypt, Great Britain
Will recognize Germany claims to utilize
as an outlet for her surplus population.
Syria, division of Asiauc Turkey. which
includes Palestine, is estimated to
cover an area Of about 10000
square miles II has a pop.
ulation of about 2,750,OJ0 mostly Alohamme-
dams, but including about $4,000 Greek
Christians, 100000 Marontes and Roman
Catholics $4,000 Jews ana $1,000 Druses
Emperor William, Of Germany, has for
some timo past been planning a trip TO
Palestine, and he IS expected 10 visit
Jerusalem this fail i'll order to dedicate the
German church there and lay tue corner
stone of the German school, parsonage and
hospital. His majesty has also undertaken
to regain for the Roman Catholics the pos
session of the Coenaculum On ZonJ tine
chamber of the last supper" and the
sultan of Turkey is sad to have intimated
tEis willingness to meet the wish of the en-
pcror in this matter.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon says
It has received from source III which 1T
has every confidence information that the
Anglo-German agreement was signed this
week by Mr.. Balfour and the German
ambassador in behalf of the respective
powers.
Agreement Is Restricted.
Continuing The Pail Mall Gazette says
that while the agreement is restricted, it
embraces an offensive and defensive alli- ,
ance in certain cVentualitieS. The Pail
Mall Gazette adds:
This new and momentous departure in
our foreign policy comes as a natural de-
Velopment of the European situation"
The Pail Mall Gazette then quotes the
speech which Mr.. Chamberlain made at
Birmingham on May 18th, last. bidding for

Kingston, jamaica August 3l.-The an

Just sufficient Of It to pay six months

bination, and 1t would require all the

to pay the principal. The owners Of

Of the principal banking houses at the

The tax gatherers backed blythe sher-

the great banking houses which they
control at the money centers, whose
dealings are only with other banks,
the money is loaned again and dndslts
way back into the channels Of trade.
The banks under the control Of the
great creditor combination possess
the power to discriminate against any
state or other bank, refuse 1t credit
and force 1t into liquidation. So great
is the power Of this creditor combina-
ton that not only the banks Of the

power" They are the only persons
who profit by shrinking money vol

infiict evil conditions upon the world
and unjustly enrich themselves there
by, they find 1t necessary in country
like ours to deceive the voters. Hence
they have coined the term Sound

and elude investigation.
The American people are the only
free people, where each citizen has q
vote that counts equally with every
other. The money question will test
our ability for free government and
determine the fate of free institu-
lions among men. The issue is at last
squarely drawn. The issue cannot be
evaded and each voter must answer
for himself in deciding the momentous
question. The hearts of all are right.

IT'S True, lis PITY.

1t. N. Haugan, the nominee of the
Republican party OF the Fourth Con-
Rressional district, was in Chickasaw
county last week. He made so called
speeches at Saude and at Jerico. He
also attended the county convention
on Wednesday and at the invitation
Of the convention disturbed the at
moaphere for few minutes with
few dist ointed, common place re-
marks which would not have done
the average slxteen-year- old school
boy any credit. Haugen can't make
Q speech-he can't talk. His mind is
as barren Of ideas as the Sahara des-
ert is Of verdure. We believe he has
some fixed notions about rate per
cent, compound interest. and the
possibilities Of the Iowa soil, but of
the great questions that involve the
veal or woe Of a great nation he has
absolutely no conception. The Re-
publican congressional committee is
well and painfully aware Of his total
unfitness to make a logical or intellig-
ibie talk and what campaigning he
win be permitted to do by the way Of
stumping the district will be done
away from county seats, far back In
the country districts among his
friends who will be willing to cover
mp his glaring unf1tness for the par
ty's sake. Haugen's speech accepting
the nomination on the 18th day Of
August, and his dismal failure at the
county convention of last Wednesday
have ended his stamping in New
Hampton. He may turn up here oc.
