CANNOT MAKE PEACE
ON A PRE-WAR BASIS
Prince Won Buelow Says Germany
Must Have More or Will
Be Loser.

BERLIN. July 2. via London, July B.
Prince Won Buelow asserts that Ger
many must have something more than
pre-war conditions when peace is de-
clared. in a preface to his book Ger
man Policies" Just issued. The former
imperial chancellor maintains that the
establishment Of national lines as
they existed prior to the war would
mean a loss to Germany.
Declaring that Germany will have to
reckon after the war with the bitter
hatred Of France. England and Russia,
he continues:
This fact must dictate tho form
which peace shall assume. The protec-
ton which Germany will find against
renewed and new lust for revenge in
the west and east and across the chan
mel can only be in its own Increased
power. Our enemies. too. win strengt then
ornaments on land and water, ana We
for our part must meet this condition.

Must Strengthen Borders.

I'VE must make ourselves stronger
and harder to be attacked on our Dor
ders and coasts than we were at the
beginning Of this war. not for the sake
of striving for world supremacy with
which we have been falsely charged,
but in order to maintain ourselves
"The result of the war must not be
negative, but positive. It Is not a
question Of saving ourselves from being
destroyed, weakened, dism embered or
plundered. We must gain real securi-
pense for the unheardof trials and
sufferings we have endured and as .
security for the future.
In the face Of the feelings against
us which this war will leave, the sim
pie re-establishment of the status quo
ante bellum for Germany would mean
a loss and not a gain. We shall not
be able to say with a good conscience
that our general situation has been
bettered by the war unless the
strengthening of our political. economic
and military power considerably out
weighs the enmities engendered by the
conflict"

Great Northern Says ri.
Tax Illegally Raised

. Bismarck, May 2.-When the 1915
session Of the legislature passed chap
ter 254, session laws of 1915, they did
not consider the effect which this law
might have on the county tuition fund
for the support of the public schools.
This chapter forbids any officer or
board having the power to levy taxes
from leyving an amount which is great
er than five per cent for 1915 and ten
per cent for 1916 in excess of the levy
for 1914. The purpose Of the legisla-
ture in passing this law was to prevent
extravaganza on the part of local tax.
ing officials, in view Of the fact that a
fiat raise in assessed valuation would
be necessary to provide for the ap.
preparations made by this session of
the legislature for the support of the
state government
Very few of the county boards have
paid any attention to this provision.
The Great Northern railroad proposes
to test out the law. Through their d.
vision attorneys they have brought &C.
ton to recover $345 paid under protest
to the county treasurer of Grand
Forks.
The railroad company allege that
this amount was in excess of the tax
of two mills provided for the support
of the public schools and levied in ev-
cry county-commonly spoken of as
the county tuition fund.
The Grand Forks county auditor lev.
led the usual two mills for this pur-
pose on all the property in the county
The railroad company contend that
this levy produced in excess of los per
cent of the amount realized in 1914,
and for the excess in the case of their
own property they are suing.
This case raises very interesting
question, as the two statutes are in d.
rect contradiction. If the contention
of the railroad company is correct ev-
cry county will have to refund to each
taxpayer the share of this excess be-
yond the 1O5 per cent over the amount
levied in 1914.
States Attorney Burtness and Tax
commissioner Geo. Wallace will appear
for the county.

Insects Together with an I'm

ento Reduce Crops.
or NssoeiAr1o raEaa,

BUENOS AIRES, Dec 1.-THE
plague OF locusts that has assai1ed the
crops OF the northern provinces Of the
republic is slowly working It's way
southwark. These insects, together
with an unprecedented drought,
threaten to reduce the crops by half,
and in some sections by an even great
er percentage.
The locust comes from some part of
the unexplored region OF southern
Brazil and pours over the country in
great streams so thick and long as to
often darken the sun. From Pena
there comes a despatch saying that q
stream extending over thirty kilo-
meters has settled upon the fields and
left no green thing in that part The
young, Matched from the millions Of
Eggs deposited, have in places covered
the railway so thtck1y as to impede
traffic and trains have been stalled
until the insects have been shoveI1ed
from the tracks and burned in bitches.
The government is waging a Vig0r-
Gus fight but seems to be making little
Roadway The department of agricul-
tural defense has 100000 meters Of
metallic barriers for the purpose of
penning swarms which are then
burned, trampled by farm animals or
buried This is accomplished because
the young locust is without wings 1t
much resembles a young grasshopper
except It's colortng is much brighter,
red and yellow, black and green, pre-
dominating.
From the eggs OF the flying 1ocusts,
which are always deposited on the
hard roads. millions OF these bright
hued. hopping insects come to assault
the fields on either side. Besides the
wire barriers the government is also
using an apparatus which resembles
a gasoline blow pipe. The farmers are
being instructed to dig trenches about
their fields, drive the hopping locusts
into them and with the aid of the gas
oline blow pipes burn the mass. Mil
lions have already been thus destroyed

so serious has become the situation
that the government has threatened to
tine all farmers who fall to maintain
corps OF men for the purpose of fight
ing the pest, and the railways have
been asked to transport free OF charge
all locust fighting apparatus.
Devastated fields threaten to occas-
sion the starvation Of many head or
cattle and the railways, at the request
Of the government, have made a
twenty-five per cent reduction in the
rates for the transportation OF live
stock, to remain effective until Feb
ruary 20 of next year. BY this means
stock can be hauled from the deVas-
tated regions to provinces OF the
South. The lives OF thousands OF ami
mails will thus be saved.
The progress of the swarms OF flying
locusts Is daily being te1egraphed
ahead, direction and speed OF fight
being given so that the farms about
to be attacked can prepare. These
