BELGIUM is WORRIED
OVER EONGOlS FUTURE
Suspects Germany of Having
Interior Designs on Her
African Possessions.

BRUSSELS, Dec. Although the
Belgian press has been displaying
great caution In its comments on the
Franco-German settlement regarding
Morocco. the clauses OF the arrange
ment relating TO the Kongo and
Ubanghi are causing great disquiet in
the Belgian Official world.
The mere fact that during the ne
gotiations, as II now appears. Ger
many evinced the desire to secure
from France the cession of her right
OF pre-emption over the Belgian Kon-
20 In case Belgium wished TO barter
her African territory away is con-
sidered as a proof that the kaiser's
government has cast longing eyes on
the Belgian colony, OF which Ger
many has become the close neighbor
by the agreement with France.
The latter's refusal to assent 10 any
change in the status Of the Kongo,
unless after consultation OF all the
powers who signed the Berlin treaty
concerning the Kongo basin. is not
considered in the least reassuring.
II simply transfers to the European
concert the question as to whether
France is to be allowed at any time
TO part with her right OF presumption
over the Belgian Kongo, and accord
ing TO the views held here such
question should not even be raised, as
the right was only granted to France
personally in exchange of equivalent
advantages and as a favor untransfer,
able to any third power. Indeed, the
late KIM Leopold only conceded such
privilege TO France because he espe.
cially trusted In her good faith, and
was convinced that she would not at
tempt to exercise 1t unduly and force
Belgium by violence or threat into
the sale OF it's colony.
The matter stands quite differently
with Germany, whose designs are sus-
pected here, and who, II is feared, if
che were to become heir presump-
tive" to the Belgian colony, would
soon conduct events in such man
ner as to gain possession of the heir
loom by compelling Belgium to give
up her African property.
These misgivings have been rein
forced by Germany's strenuous and
successful efforts to gain access to
the Belgian Kongo and Ubanghi. Such
a footing on the banks OF the two
rivers was not a necessity for Ger
many, II she only aimed at a COM
mercial outlet in the Kongo. as free
dom of navigation and commerce is
guaranteed there to all powers, the
inference being that Germany has
only arranged to become a next-door
neighbor to the Belgian colony with a
view to ultimate territorial aggran-
dizement at it's expense.
As TO the means which should be
adopted for protecting the Kongo
against the alleged German ambition.
there seems to be only one opinion
Belgium should lean, as far as pos
sible, on France and England, who
certainly have reasons for not allow
ing Germany further TO increase her
sphere in Central Africa; and should.
at the Same time, increase her de-
fensiye power In Europe, Il being felt
sthHtsff sthe sfefgian Kongo were TO be
fought for IT would not be In Africa
itself but In this part OF the. world.

WILL AIM HARD BLOW AT
/ ROOT OF DIVORCE EVIL
Kansas City Jurist Will Ask
More Stringent Laws Gov
erning Managers.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. John
T. Sims Judge of the probate and jul
venile court in Wyandotte county.
will introduce resolution for legis-
lation at the session of the Kansas
Conference OF Charities and Correc-
ton. at Ottawa. which, he says, will
tend TO diminish the divorce evil.
The only feasible solution of the d.
vorce evil is to remedy the marriage
laws. Judge Sims believes, and he Will
ask that the conference take action
on his suggestion and have them en-
bodied in a bill introduced in the leg
islature next winter.
The many neglected, dependent
and diseased children in the large
cities are the direct result of lax mar
riaee laws Judge Sims said last
night. IF the laws governing mar
riage were made more stringent there
would not be nearly so much work
I'm the Juvenile courts and the divorce
courts would practically be empty.
"A declaration of intention TO be
married should be filed with the coun-
~ clerk In each county and publish
ed fnla local paper for pinety IA y :
before q rhatriage ceSeniony takes
~
these love at first sight marriages,
the intermarriage OF relatives and the
marriage of persons under age. These
love at first sight marriages are
what keeps the Juvenile court full OF
neglected and dependent children and
the courts full of divorce cases.
"A man and woman who have
known each other only few weeks
should not be permitted to marry, Tor
persons cannot know each other In
that short a time and q divorce usu-
ally follows. The children, IL there
are any then, usually fall on the coun-
~ TO care for them. When man and
woman enter contract 70 look at
each other across the breakfast table
for the rest of their days they are
entering into the biggest contract OF
their lives, and If they are not fitted
for each other the union must be
dissolved.
"A medical examination of both
persons made by board OF physl-
clans appointed by the governor In
each county to see that the physical
condition of both Is good. The Bible
SAYS, The aims of the fathers shall
be visited upon the children unto the
fourth generation and II Is the mar
riage OF diseased persons that causes
the passage TO be true. II Is not the
parents that must be protected by
this law. but the children who suffer
the consequences OF their parents
folly.
Another thing that should be done
for the good OF humanity is for a
father TO take his son into his con
fdenee and for mother TO do the
same with her daughter. and not LEI
them get their knowledge of life on
the streets"

CELEBRATE THEIR
GOLDEN WEDDING
Mr.. and Mrs. George Battey
Have Happy Time at
Their Home on 24th.
Gather Their Family Around
Them in Commemoration
of Joyous Event.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Battey, corner of First and Beech
streets, was the scene Of a happy
gathering on Monday, July oath, the
occasion being the gol len wedding an
niversary of this worthy couple. The
event was fourfold in its nature, a
golden wedding, a family reunion, a
housewarming and housekeeping.
Mr.. and Mrs. Battey have four sons
and they were all here on Monday.
Herbert Werner, Of Council Bluffs,
Iowa, was here with his eldest son,
Earl; Frank S., of Alpena, S. D., had
with him his son Sllas; Roy G. and
wife were here. from Bismarck, N. D.,
and George Jr., from Washburn, N. D.
There are fourteen grandchildren and
one great grandchild. Werner has six
children, Frank has six, Roy not any
and George two.
It was thre thirty Monday afternoon
when the party got together. Many
letters and telegrams from distance
were read from those who could not be
in attendance. All were full of felici-
tation and we'll wishes for the couple
who have passed fifty years Of welded
life together. A splendid three-course
dinner was served at five clock. Mrs.
Pannebaker was assisted in serving by
Misses Edith Bateman and Gladys
O'Neill. @
The visitors left next day for their
homes, with the exception of George,
who. accompanied his brother to Iowa,
where his wife is visiting and to see
that new five weeks old daughter.
1t was fifty years ago on June "a,
1911, that Mr.. George Battey and Miss
Louisa Cooper plighted their trothe at
Princeton, III. Their homes were then
at Mineral, in that state, where each
had been teaching school. Shortly
after marriage the young husband
needed the call of his country and en-
listed in Company H, l65th Illinois
Infantry, and served several years.
After the war the young couple went
from illinois to Missouri. They only
lived in Missouri short time, their
next move being to farm near Shelby,
Iowa. Thirty years ago the family
moved to Portsmouth, in the same
state, where Mr.. Battey followed first
the grain business and later the bank
ing business. They lived at Ports
mouth until coming to North Dakota
last February. For month they
visited at Bismarck and Washburn,
but came to Oakes in March and made
arrangements to put up cosy home
for themselves, where they might
spend the balance Of their days. Their
residence has just been completed and
cost $1,000. Mr.. Battey owns three
quarter sections Of land in this vicinity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Battey are happiest
when surrounded by their family and
last Monday is an event that will long
be remembered. The Times joins in
offering congratulations on their we'd
ding anniversary, and wishes them
many years of health and happiness in
the years that are yet to come.
