TheLease of Potash Lands
BY Senator King

THE adventurous sons Of the East, at
L tracted by the discovery Of gold in
California, FASTENED across the desert
wastes, and by other routes, and located
tho lands containing rich minerals. 1t is
q matter of common knowledge that the
system established by them became the
basis of the legislation enacted by Con-
gress a number of years thereafter. When
the Federal government came to legislate
with respect to its mineral possessions, it
adopted rules and regulations established
by the miners Of the West, and, in the
main, crystallized them into law. Asystem
of leasing and landlordism would not have
poured into the arteries and channels of
trade the hundreds of millions that came
to our nation under the wise and benef-
cent policy adopted by our national law
givers.
The element Of hazard and chance is so
great in mining that the leasing system
will not encourage development, but, on
the contrary, will retard and discourage
development. The knowledge that title
could be obtained with ease and that the
possession Of the occupant would be pro-

Kaiser, saying: During the month OF
July our enemies lost on all fronts 236
aeroplanes and "a balloons, as against 60
aeroplanes and no balloons we lost"
ITO what country do the Alsatians be-
long," asks the "Schwaebische Wochen-
blatt" in the headline of an article. The
answer given is, of course, that Alsace
rightfully belongs to Germany, for the
publisher and editor of the "Schwaebische
Wochenblatt" is Mr.. NJ. V. Hess, cartoon
list of the "New-Yorker Staats-zeitung." a
disciple of the Herren Ridder. Then take
the Alsace-Lorraine affair. The "Cincln-
natter Volksblatt" says: France states
that she insists on the Instrumentation OF
Alsace-L Lorraine. Therefore, she is not OF
the same opinion as President Wilson, who
decidedly disapproves of the dismember-
ment of states"
"'A citizen Of this country says the
Chicago Abendpost," must fight against

It certainly would be possible
to find ways and means to employ such
men in another manner, where they would
be able to be of the greatest profit to their
adopted country. If that cannot be brought
about, where is the much praised human

German descent forced to go to the front.
Rather he is employed in England, in the

Mr.. HELM decline to yield TO the
gentleman from Pennsylvania The gentle
man has shown disposition to be unfair to
me and decline TO yield to him.
Mr. Speaker, this is a serious charge made
against me by the gentleman from North
Dakota, and he was permitted TO speak as

part of the charges.

Mr.. HEFIIN-Mr. Speaker, did not mean
on the floor of the House. II thought that

there are German spies in the gallery of
this House That is what had in mind.

statement anywhere, in private conversation

The German-American Press Runs to Cover

soldiers are exposed to the enticements Of
French women"
According to Herr Hearst's "Deutsches
Journal the United States Navy Depart
ment has been informed that the former
merchant submarine Deutschland has been
transformed into a naval U-boat, and Is
active near the Azores. High officials Of
the Navy Department" adds the "Deutsch.
es Journal" predicted that not only
the Deutschland, but also a feet Of U-boats
of the same giant dimensions, must soon
be expected at the northern Atlantic Coast
The Deutschland and her sister ships are
armed with the heaviest guns that ever
were mounted on submarines"
The article states that tho armament of
these U-boats consists Of AZ to inch
guns, and that these sea monsters will
probably not be content to destroy mer-
chantmen, but also will lombard Ameri-
can coast cities. at is," says the "Deut-
sches Journal" known that the new sea
monsters recently attacked English coast
batteries"
Every sentence quoted above was print
ed in large type in the "Deutsches jour
nal," which has, besides the service Of the
New York City News Association, only
the service Of Hearst's international News
Service. An investigation Of the English
Hearst newspapers Of New York showed
that these did not carry the Deutschland
story Therefore, it is secret where the
"Deutsches Journal obtained the news.
The tendency Of the "Waechter und An

Of which, Herr Waldemar Won Nostiz, was
the first alien enemy to be informed In this
country, may be judged by some headlines
that appeared in the same edition: THE
| BEST WEAPONS OF GERMANY ARE
THE U-BOATS. NEW SHIPS, NEW
AIMS. AMERICA MUST EITHER sue.
CESSFULLY FIGHT THE U-BOATs
OR MAKE PEACE" Many editions Of
the "Waechter und Anzeiger" convey to
its readers the impression that the u
boats cannot be successfully fought. Othe,
captions read "IMPLACABLE, FRANCE
INSISTS ON HER OLD DEMANDS
and SWEDEN VALUES HIGHLY GER

do not contain anything really to justify
the headlines.
Having thus demonstrated its loyalty
to the United States the "Waechter unC
