The parole OF Frank Cmell. who

was q great surprise to the people of
Bennington. SO far as The Banner
knows no one in Bennington had
heard of any application fos CneIps

TOO lightly anyway. ,F
Several weeks ago the editor OF
! The Banner asked Governor Fletcher
his reason for paroiins Cmeli. The
governor stated that he would look
up the case and let as know. Some
time late- he answered the original
question by saying that his records
showed that Cmell was paroled on
the recommendation Of the penal
board. - 80
A letter was then written to Hon
John L. Weeks. chairman of the pen

1.-THE probability is. in the opinion
of The Banner, that both the govet
nor and penal board were misled by
the official record in the case. The
papers and prison record
showed that Cmell was sentenced for
simple assault, as that was the find
ing of the jury. With this record be.
fore them they did not realize that
the jurys verdict was miscarriage
of justice and that CmelFs actual
crime was attempted murder and

Address BY Few W. F. Meyer at
Second Congregational Church
n has been observed that there is
a better habit OF church going lately
in all the Bennington churches. 1t IS
due to various causes, but probably
mostly to The revival Of religious
feeling and sense Of duty which is
spreading over the country Such an
atmosphere is very peryasiye And
the Christian people generally are
very much rejoiced over these signs.

ZERO WEATHER HITS THIS
CITY; THREE.|MCH SNOWFALL

A cold snap hit Lewistown yester-
day and during the storm of that day
and the previous night three inches
of snow fell in this city. This is ac-
cording to the official report of Wealth
er Observer Watson. The low mark
yesterday was 2 below zero, this be-
ing registered at p. m. For a time
it became milder, but later in the eve-
ming it seemed to be slightly colder
again. The night previous. when con.
siderable of wind was blowing, the
mercury did not go to zero until =
o'clock yesterday morning, when. it
just touched that point
The storm is general all over Mon.

TRIES TO CONTEST CLAIM
THAT HAS Been PATENTED
UNUSUAL CONTEST FILED YES.
TERDAY IN UNITED STATES
LAND OFFICE.

Charles l.. Flinders of Weede yes.
terday fled an unusual contest case
in the local United States land office,
when he made allegations against the
homestead filing of Ella c. Pollard Of
Miles City, the land having been pat
ented for over five years past. The
contest was. of course, rejected, as the
local office has no jurisdiction in con-
test cases after patent has been is
sued by the government The allega-
tion made by Mr.. Flinders is that the
final proof was fraudulent, and that
claimant had failed to cultivate and
reside on the land.
The proper and only course for the
contestant to follow would be to re-
port to the field department, and if
that department reports favorably. it
will be up to the department of justice
to act. The contestant would have no
preference right, at ali, even if the
filing would be cancelled and the pat
ent revoked.

AUSTRIA WILL NOT YIELD TO U.S..

GENEVA, Dec 29.-(Via Paris, 1920
p. m.)-The latest information re-
ceived by the Swiss press from Vienna
states that Vienna official circles are
opposed to the acceptance of the sec
ond American Ancona note unless it is
modified, and a rupture in diplomatic
relations is believed to be immient,
Notwithstanding the strong opposition
OF the liberal and Hungarian parties
and diplomats who demand that an
agreement shall be reached with
Washington
The reply to the first American note,
1t is declared, was drafted in Berlin.
Strong pressure was brought to bear
on Austria that both Count Tisza and
Baron Burian, who favored a policy
OF conciliation. had their hands forced
and therefore it is claimed that the
question more directly concerns Ber-
lin than Vienna. 1t is considered that
there still is possibility of an agree
ment within the next "a hours, but If
the situation comes to a rupture of
diplomatic relations not only Vienna,
but Berlin viii he affected.

The evening newspapers today all con-
ceded that the decision of the cabinet
Is in favor of compulsory service and
see little ground for belief that there
will be designations OF cabinet min
listers or for anticipating serious op-
position from the country
According to the Westminster Ga.
zette parliamentary reporter, the num-
Der of single men not attested reaches
a big total
Its estimate greatly exceeds any
heretofore published and II correct,
the comparative rapidity with which
the cabinet decided upon the necessity
of compulsory measures is easily ex-
planned.
The cabinet Is understood to have
fully explored the various points aris-
ing out of the decision and to have
made arrangements to meet the claims
of munitions work. the export trade
and the financial world on the labor
market.
David Lloyd George, whose urgent
calls for workers in munitions fac
tories had much to do with the speedy
decision reached. will now take none
but eligible on the fighting line. II the
trades unions, as is hoped, agree to
his proposal for dilution of skilled
workers on munitions with proper

to fill the new factories with women
and ineligible men quite capable of do.

No final decision regarding the meth

as yet, but the Pail Mall Gazette be-
lieves that the proposal which most
commends itself is bill providing

age of 40 who has not already enrolled

WINTER WHEAT CROP IN YEAR
1916 WILL Be MUCH SMALLER
HENRY PARENT SAYS THAT IT
WILL FALL FAR SHORT OF
THE CROP OF 1915.

Henry Parent, a. well known farmer
of the Box Elder country who is in
Lewistown, estimates that the total
acreage of winter wheat in the ground
at the present time in Fergus county
is less than half what it was year
ago. He says that in his section many
of the farmers have but 25 per cent
of the acreage of a year ago
OF course this shortage in winter
wheat will be made up somewhat by
spring sowing of spring wheat How
ever Just how big acreage of spring
grains will be sown will depend upon
climatic and other conditions in the
spring.
