 J. s.

Washington, Oct. 13.-The Allies and neutral nations through their state departments have today stated that they do not share in the spiritualism of the American gov ernment's officials over the re- ported mutiny of the crews of the four German battle ships. Instead of placing any significance in the thought that this was 8 forerunner of an indication of unrest and dis loyalty on the part of the German troops and people, they express the view that the announcement giv- en out reporting the trouble was made expressly by the German gov ernment for American consumption with the view of creating false hopes of an early peace.

CONTRADICTS
STATEMENT

In striking contrast to the state
ment of Theodore Void, governor
of the Minneapolis federal reserve
bank, who libelously charged the
farmers of the northwest with be-
ing "apathetic" toward the Liber-
ty Loan bond issue, is the state
ment made yesterday by L. b.
Hanna, chairman of the executive
committee for North Dakota, which
has charge of the bond sale in this
state.
81 cannot speak for any section
of the northwest except North Da-
kota," said Mr.. Hanna. "but /
do know that wherever they have
been solicited the farmers of this
state are responding literally.
There are not many volunteering
to take the bonds. But neither do
the people in the cities volunteer in
large numbers. The people every
where mus be informed regard
ing these bonds, they must bc in-
structed and educated, before they
realize the necessity of purchasing
them.
"But wherever this explanation
has been made to the farmers they
have been very good about coming
forward and taking the bonds.''
Mr.. Hanna has just returned
from a trip over the state in the
interests of the Liberty bond sale.
On his return his attention was
called to the statement made by
Mr.. Wold. in which the latter
charged the farmers with failing
in their support.
mo such statement has been gi.
ven out from our headquarters in
| North Dakota" was Mr.. Hanna s
comment. 81 cannot speak for
Minnesota or Montana, because
do not know of conditions there. II
may be true in Minnesota or in
Montana, but in North Dakota, the
farmers. as we'll as the people in
the towns have made a splendid
response.
Mr.. Hanna explained that the
scattered population of North Da
kota, the lack of rain in some sec
tions, and the fact that the state
had a poor crop last year, had all
had the effect of retarding the sale
of bonds in North Dakota.
But he stated that he could
name many instances where the
farmers and town people too, had
been remarkably liberal in buying
large quantities of bonds. HI
mentioned specifically the village
of Buchanan where $4,000 worth
of bonds were sold, mostly to far.
