Berlin, June 15.-The LokaI An
Zeiger prints noteworthy article on
German-American relations by its
general director, Eugen Zimmerman.
which, coming on the heels OF Fri
days conciliatory article. is taken to
mean that influential representatives
of politics and business are standing
behind the paper, and exerting their
efforts for a German-American under
standing.
President WILSON, says Herr
Zimmerman, desires nothing more
and nothing less than an understand
ing between Germany and England,
concerning the forms of maritime
warfare, which. at the same time, will
insure the safety of American passen-
gers. The task is not light. consider
ing the development of naval warfare,
but it can be solved, If all interests
display good will
A new form might be given to ma

ernment guarantee that they are un-
armed, should receive proper consid-
Grafton at the hands of submarine
commanders.
The compromise must also involve
the withdrawal OF the British admi-
ralty's instructions to merchantmen,
to attack and ram submarines at
sight
The article ventures to indicate for
the first time to the German public
that there may be second side to
the question of arms. on which the
press has been for months harping.
The editor of the Tageblatt, Theo-
dor Wolff, also publishes an article
in favor OF a policy aimed at the
avoidance OF new conflicts and the
bringing in OF new adversaries. .
The Nachrichten of Frankfort pro-
poses, as a method for modifying the
hardships of submarine warfare, that
the United States government consent
to the stationing of German commits
sioners in American ports to examine
ships sailing for Europe, SO that
those which carry no ornaments. mu-
nitions or troops, may be exempt from
attack by German submarines.

Plan of Procedure.

6547 of the Compiled Laws of Okla
hOma, he says:
Plan of Procedure
"The procedure mentioned under
which such lease Shall be made, the
supreme court cOf this state has held,
refers to the portion Of Section 6569,
supra, which provides the county
court may make such other orders
and give such directions as are need
full for the management, Investment
and disposition of the estate and eff
fects, as circumstances require" q, 1t
is therefore held that oil and gas
leases made by the guardian under
authority of Section 6947, supra, in
order to be valid, nuts be first ap-
proved by the county court Duff, ct
al. VS.. KeatOn, ct al. 33 Okla 92 II
is clear therefore that the guardian
may with the approval of the county
court make a valid oil and case lease
of his wards land for a period coy
ering at beast the term of minority
The statute authorizing such leases
does not undertake in terms TO fix
the period for which such leases
shall be made to- run. If the county
court is without authority to author
gas lease beyond the term Of min
ority when circumstances require"
then it must follow that cases will
from time to time arise when the
court will be seriously hampered in
the transaction of business apper-
tanning to the wards estate and will
be precluded from making such or
ders for the management and dis
position OF the estate as the Circum-
stances require. 1t is a matter of
common knowledge that in the de-
velopment of the oil business new
territory is constantly being proven.
When a paying well is brought in in
new territory, the rush for leases is
very like the rush for claims in a
new mining camp.
Governs Length of Lease.
Frequently the largest bonuses
and the best terms are procured
during the first flush of the excite
ment But suppose that in such a
case the wards land is in the midst
of the most desirable territory but

guardian may not make and ap-
prove lease beyond his minority, its
term can only be one or two years.
as the case may be- His neighbors
adjoining may lease for ten, fifteen
or twenty and so much longer as
oil and gas0 may be found in paying
quantities. 1t is obvious that the
purchaser of such leases would give
vastly more for the long term leases
than the one running only for one
or two years 1t might reasonably
happen that this handicap against
the leasing of the wards land would
make it impossible to effect any

lease at all and that immediate de
velopment on adjoining tracts would
result in serious drainage of the
land which, during a year or two,
might practically ruin IL as an oil
and gas property and thus divest, it
of the greatest element OF value 1t
contains and leave to the ward when
! he reaches majority the mere shell
Now in case of this kind most
important feature of business APP
pertaining t. the estate of the ward
is the disposition OF his land for oil
and gas purposes to the very best
advantage. The ward by reason of
his disability of minority cannot act.
1t is for this reason that the county
court is authorized to act for him
Cites Decisions.
'In the exercise of it's exclusive iu-
risdiction to transact all business ap-
pertaining to the estates of minors.
the county court must, | think, be
held to have all the powers relating
to the conduct Of minors estates
which formerly belonged to courts OF
equity"
lie then refers to a number of de-
cisions and continues:
The framers 'of the constitution,
recognizing the disability Of the minor
to handle his own affairs, entrusted
his business matters to the county
court As said I'm the Casenheimer
case. supra, the court owes TO him the
duty of protection and of controlling
and administering his property so as
TO promote his convenience and inter-
ests. And as said in the quotation
from GibsOn's Suits in Chancery.
supra, the court acting in loco paren-
us, and as general guardian for the
MINOR Will do for him and his prop
erty what he himself in all probability
would do but for his disability.
Now the statute specifically au-
thorlzes the guardians to execute an oil
and gas lease for the minors land,
subject TO the county COURTS APPROVAL
If it shah find it advantageous TO the
minor under the circumstances The
statute fixes no limit upon the term
Of the lease"
To Protect Guardian.
as follows:
so l conclude that when the legls-
iature authorized the guardian to
lease the wards property for oil and
gas purposes with the approval of the
county court, without specifically linn
lung the time for which such lease
might be made to the period of min
ority, 1t intended to leave the matter
to the judgment Of the court in the
light Of what might appear to be for
the best Interests Of the minors es-
tate and that where such interest, in
the Judgment Of the court, would be
best sGbserved by lease for a term
extending beyond minority, lease for
such term made by the guardian and
approved by the court is valid. And Of
course when the county court, by APP
proving SUCH lease. has manifested
his finding that such lease is for the
best Interests of the estate of the
minor. that finding is 'impervious to
collateral attack"
The demurrer in this case will be
sustained.
