Congressman Lindbergh was the
only member Of the Minnesota dele
CATION to vote against the emergency
currency measure. In explation he is
quoted as saying:
"The currency measure passed is
the same as the Aldrich- -Vreeland cur
rency bill, somewhat enlarged. I was
against the original Aldrich- -Vreeland
bill and vote for this bill would
have been voting for the same prin-
ciple that voted against then.
'This bill gives the large banks an
opportunity to initiate the currency
and charge the people for the inna-
tion.
Gas an alternative I would sug-
gest that the right to secure money
from the government should be en-.
larged so that the same kind Of Sc
curities would be acceptable from
other sources than banks that are ac-
ceptable- from banks.''

GERMAN ARMIES 60
over FOUR BORDERS
Forces Of the Kaiser Have In
vaded France, Belgium, Ho|-
land and Russia.

London, Aug. 6.-With five of the
great European powers-Austria, Eng.
land, France, Germany and Russia-at
war, millions of men on land and
sea waited, under arms, ready to
strike. Any moment may witness the
opening Of general warfare. Reports
from France, Belgium, Holland and
Russia show that Germany's armies
are steadily moving forward, East and
West. Her advanced posts are in con-
tact with the opposing Russian and
French armies.
The cutting Of the German tele-
graph and telephone connections and
the severance of the German trans
atlantic cables virtually cut Germany
from communication with other coun-
tries.
Volunteers were requested for the
British army and this is taken as an
indication that an expeditionary force
is to be sent out, but no authentic in
formation on this point IL obtainable.
In England preparations were rapid
ly completed for naval activities after
the declaration of war, but the au-
tholities would not permit any leakage
of news as to military or naval move
ments. It was announced the govern
ment would acquire foreign warships
under construction in Great Britain.
German Steamers Captured.
! Several German steamships in Brit
ish waters, including the Belgia, with
seventy-thrse German reservists and
a quantity of foodstuffs on board,
were declared prizes of war. The Ma
ria Leonhardt, In the Thames, suffer
ed similar fate.
The British government has COM
mandeered the horses belonging to ex-
press companies and big department
stores, thus causing almost suspen-
sion of business.
On the coast of the North sea,
where it had been enormously report
ed that . naval battle wa& in prog
ress, the British government; has TAX
en- over all schools and otl,er public
buildings for conversion into hospitals
in readiness to receive the wounded
men after the expected important
naval encounter between the German
and British fleets.
In France the minister of war de-
clared the mobilization to have pro.
ceeded satisfactorily and everything
to be in readiness with General Jof-
fre, commander-in-chief, at the from
tier.
Austria and Servia appear to have
stopped their activities or at least to
have put strict censorship on the
news of any important events, as no
news dispatches of Importance reach
ed the British capital from those two
countries.

SALARIES OF RURAL CARRIERS
INCREASED

Beginning last Monday a new sched-
ule Of salaries for rural carriers went
Sinto effect in the United States,
whereby some get substantial in
creases, while the salary Of others re-
mains the same. Under the new
schedules the maximum salary is
1900 per annum, instead of $1,100,
as before.
Out Of 1922 rural carriers in Min
nesota only 257 will get the maximum
salary. The others will get small in
creases.
The postmaster general is given the
power to regulate the salary Of car
riers whose routes are less than "a
miles in length. Those having longer
routes, if the business warrants, are
given the maximum. This is causing
some dissatisfaction and it is expect.
ed that the rural carriers association
will take up the matter.

Morrison county has cosmopolitan
citizenship. BY ties of blood and

aated to nearly every country in Eu:
rope. The conflict over there will be
followed with interest and anxiety.
There is no reason why there should
be antagonisms here over what is CO.
ing on across the sea. We all have
our opinions as to VINO IS right, and
have all wish as to who should win.
but we ought not to get into a fuss
about it over here. AS to who is
right depends often on the point OF
view. Let us all be friends, remem-
bering that we are American citizens,
and there are plenty Of problems to
settle over here without getting ex-
cited over the problems in the father
lands in the old world. Better to
