The publication in Washington dur
Ing the past week of the second Aus
tro-Hungarian Red Book of official
documents relating to Italy's participa-
ton in the war has served to direct
attention in a public way more closely
than ever before to the question
whether Italy is really in the war. as
Austria Hungary charges, for the sake
of conquest
The friends OF Italy say that an eX-
animation of the facts leads to the
conclusion that the charge is not true,
and that. OF the CONTRARY there has
been a long series Of proNocatons by
Austria Hungary against Italy which
are the primary causes of the two ma
tons being al war.
Cablegrams dealing with Italian and
Austro- hungarian affairs have been

spring of 1872, while Italy was at war
with Turkey, Austria Hungary massed
such a number of troops on the Italian
border as to leave the Italian govern
mept no doubt of her neighbours hos
tile intentions. The italian anbassa-
dor al Vienna was instructed to ask
for an explanation. The answer was
that the mobilization of 100000 troops
had taken place by an order of the

defensive one-that is to say, intended
for the maintenance of peace and the
status quo. And the friends of Italy also
irreconciliable with an act like the
sending Of Austria -Hungary's ulti-
matum to Serbia August %. 1914.
Four italian Questions.
Italy's action, her proponents say.
before abrogating the treaty depended
upon the four following questions:
Had Austria Hungary been attacked
by two or more great powers without
direct provocation on her part2
Had any great power threatened the
national security of Austria?
Had Austria Hungary used her in
f1uence against any territorial change
in the Balkans and given explanations
to Italy of her aims against Serbia?
Had Austria Hungary agreed on COM
pensations to Italy before temporarily
or permanently occupying Serbian ter
ritory?
To Italians it seems plain that it was
Austria Hungary that violated the
treaty which Italy later was obliged to
abrogate.
know. however. the friends of Italy
saw. is that even after recognizing the
business of Italy's claims for the main
tenance Of peace in the Balkans and
offering her certain territorial conces-
sions of Italian provinces in Austro-
Hungary the government of the lat
ter country never ceased to resort, it
is declared, to all possible means to de-

tons with Italy.

and attending high school the past
year. In early days the father of this
young lady was enga ged Hae> carpenter

he went to his farm and is said now
to be one of the most successful agri-

The high school students of Belfe1d
did very nice thing last Saturday
for their class mate, Miss Truelson,
when they ordered flowers and dele

LAND LEASING At MANNING
SALE FOR STARK AND DUNN

The leasing of school lands for
Dunn county was conducted at Man
ming last Saturday. For some reas-
on the attendance was not large, pos
sibly because about 70 quarters are to
be offered for sale on Friday, June a.
The high price for 100 acres was paid
by Frank Sadowsky, who took years
lease at $3.50. This. land is located
near the old halfway place on the
Dickinson Manning road and had been
leased by the same party in the past.
He also took another quarter at S86.
Another party bid against Mr..
Sadowsky and forced him to raise the
price to this high mark in order to
get what he felt he must have for
his stock.
Most of the land leases went at
the minimum Of $40 per quarter.
Martin Hansen was among those
over from the eastern part of the
county. IS .....
(: It is believed that the sale of
school lands on June will bring the
largest crowd Manning has seen in
many years. According to the sale
notice which was published in the
PRESS on April "a, the Dunn county
school lands will be offered at public
auction at 10 o'clock June a. II is
noted that the lands have been ap-
praised at $12 to $26 per! acre, the
great bulk Of the tracts being listed at
$1S to $40 per acre, which means that
they cannot be sold for a less sum.
The sale in Stark county will start
at 10 o'clock on Saturday, June s, as
per notice appearing elsewhere in this
issue. About the same appraisement
has been made for Stark county lands
as for Dunn, and the same rules gov
ern the sales. 1t is expected that Fl.
s. Henry, land commissioner, will con-
duct the sale at both Manning and
Dickinson. Fl. L. Simmons conducted
the leasing at Manning last Saturday.

DICKINSON 1915 BALL TEAM
WILL Be A GOOD ONE

Our citizens are doing the needful
to get another first class baseball ag-
gregation and on Decoration Day,
May 80, the first game of the season
is scheduled to take place at the local
park. It is not sure yet what team
will cross bats with the Dickinson
nine on that date, but possibly team
selected from the players out in Het-
finger county.
John Robinson took a few hours
this week to solicit subscriptions and
met with liberal support. All our
people want is good men the same as
the management gave the city last
year. From present indications the
1915 team will be even stronger than
it was last season. Keneth Gardner
will take his position as pitcher. He
has been in the city the past winter,
with the Lyric Theatre Co., and is in
perfect health and will surely give a
good account of himself this year.
Leslie Wasem, who caught for the
locals last year, has been attending
the James Millikin university at
De Catur, ILL.,, and will come back the
first of the month to back up Card
ner. There will be a few new play
ers on the Dickinson team this year,
including Otto Pippin of Gladstone,
who may find it advantageous to move
his family to this city for the sum-
mer. Ruric Pippin is already here
and will be new player with our
boys. Clint Davis will be manager of
the team. John Robinson, VIM. and
Vernon McCutchan and Alphonzo
Kronschnabel will do good work with
the Dickinson players as in the past.

1t seems that the entryman was Of
fering proof but there had been some
question about his residence and the
matter had been referred to a govern
ment inspector. In the meantime a
real estate man by the name Of
Vernon A.. Williams is said to have
tried to get a REIMBURSEMENT to the

The city of Lennon had expended
a large sum of money, possibly
$40, 900, in constructing a RESERVOIR on
the homestead upon which the inhabi-
tants of the town We're dependent, to
a great extent, for their water. It
was supposed that the city had an
understanding with the homesteader.

before the Dickinson and Lennon U.

transaction it did not look good to

GERMAN YEOMEN LODGE
BIG DO|NGS HERE SEPT. 4

Ihe German YeOmen lodge OF DICK
inson has captured the banner for the
largest number Of members secured
for the first quarter Of the year in
North Dakota. Deputy Martin Schil-
Ter is the man who secured the men,
bers, getting as many as 16 in one
month and 40 for the quarter. This
gives the local lodge a total member
ship Of 25O, or an increase of $50 in
about year.
The first of the week the members
Of the German Yeomen lodge met in
st. Anthony's hall, where the banner
was displayed, and. listened to ad-
dresses and music for several hours.
E. G. Coils, state manager, was pres
ent and congratulated the Homestead
on the excellent showing made. 9th
ers who spoke were Editor John
Nadolski, Attorney w. F. Blume, Matt
Reuter- and Daniel Heidi.
When the state banner, bearing the
inscription brotherhood of Ameri-
can Yeomen," was placed at the head
of the hall there was great clapping
of hands. In capturing this prize,
Deputy Schiller had to work hard to
hold Casselton down to second place.
One month the two lodges were neck
and neck.
At the present time the South Side
Yeomen Homestead is the largest
west of the Missouri river and about
third in North Dakota, the lodges at
Fargo anil Jamestown coming first in
the order named. The north side
lodge at Dickinson has a membership
of about 60.
In September the National Degree
Team of Minneapolis, with Senator P.
]. Grose as captain, en- route to the
Pacific coast, will make four stops in
North Dakota as follows: Fargo on
the 1st, jamestown the End, Mandan
the 3rd and Dickinson on the 4th.
The two Homesteads of this city have
made guarantee of $3.50 to get this
famous degree team for the one night.
There are about rs people in the COM
pany, including 10 men for the degree
work and other talented entertainers.
The team will appear in full regalia
and will give the entire degree work
in most pleasing manner. Miss
Brown, a graduate of the Northwest
ern Conservatory of Music, will sing
"Rock of Ages" and "Holy City,
Miss Cenfield will delightfully."- enter
tain with readings, while Senator
Crosse will create laughter with his
witty sayings. Stereopticon slides
will also be used to entertain the audi
| ence.
The Minneapolis Homestead has a
membership of 3,175, so it is NO
wonder they were able to select men
for team that carried away the
national honors last year.
Only Yeomen members will be ad-
mitted to this grand entertainment
in Dickinson which will likely be given
in the armory. In order to make the
guarantee good without touching the
lodge funds, the members are advanc-
ing SOC each which will give them
free admission to the entertainment.
No one will be admitted for less than
SOC. 1t is expected that 400 to 500
members will be present September
4. Among the lodges which will join
the local host Of Yeomen will be Bel
field; Richardton, New England and
Manning.
It will interest many of our readers
| to know that the last state report
from the office of Commissioner
Taylor shows that 1875 Yeoman pol
icies were written in North Dakota in
1914, against 579 by the nearest as
sessment competitor.
