The business men Of DenisOn GER
tainly did themselves proud in enter
tanning their guests. A reception COM
mittee met every incoming train and
escorted the guests to the hotel in
cars. AT every turn the guests were
made to feel that they were welcome
and the only regret is that their visit
was too short The newspapers of
Denison are grateful to the business
men for making the meeting a sue
cess.
The high school football team open
ed the 1917 season on last Saturday,
when they met the Rockwell City clev-
en- on the local gridiron. 1t was some
game-from Denisons standpoint
and scores were made by the local
eleten faster than the score keeper
could tally them, but it was finally de-
cided the game had been won by Den
ison by score of % to Q. Denison
won the game on straight football and
found no difficulty in breaking through
their opponents line almost at will
as one can surlnise from the score.
Coach Lynch had his team in fine
working order, but did not permit
them to put any of the difficult plays
into the game Most of the men who
have been out to practice were given
a chance to play in Saturdays game.
If this game is any criterion Denison
may have some chance for the state
but of course that re-
mains to be seen. On Friday after
noon of this week the team will play
the fast Odebolt eleven on the local
gridiron. This promises to be real
contest.

Leading Berlin Paper Says
alleged Disclosures"
Accuse King George

BERLIN, Monday, Aug. 13, via Lon
don, Aug. 14.-m commenting upon the
exposures of German diplomacy made
public in the United States by James
W. Gerard, the former American Am
bassador here, the "Zeitung am Mittag'
says:
1.-THE very contents of this alleged
dispatch Emperor Williams message
to President Wilson, are so consti-
tuted as TO prove anything but in.
furious to German political conduct OF
the war. The dispatch, as Mr.. Gerard
has construed and published it. must
prove to any unbiased mind that I'm
peror William in his exchange OF mes
sages with King George worked un-
ceasingly for the maintenance. Of peace.
The British King, on the other
hand, either from conscious du-
plicity or, more likely, because
he was duped by a government
which had already decided for war,
soon became enmeshed in misunder-
standing and submitted propositions
which were withdrawn as fast as they
were accepted. To an unprecedented read
er the information conveyed to Presi-
dent Wilson by Ambassador Gerard is
an indictment Of King George and the
British government, and not Of Ger
many.
Zone is bewildered at the motive that
prompted Mr.. Gerard in making these
disclosures. II may De that in the
United States. too, Mr.. Gerard's diplo-
matte fame mas no longer an especially
lustrous hue. To many Americans the
German Emperor continues to be enc
of the outstanding men of contempt
rary history. The primary purpose Of
Mr. Gerards exposures has been to
impress his countrymen with the fact
that he was participant in historic
developments through personal contact
with a great emperor. In the second
place Mr.. Gerard has made the mes
sages available for Entente use by sup
plying calculations which had neither
head nor tail and are Of neither politi-
cal nor diplomatic Importance.

Ban on MASSES"
Is Denounced
Postal Officials Propose to
Violate Promises, Gil
bert E. Roe Says

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14.-Gilbert E,
Roe, Of New York, attorney FOR The
Masses" appeared before the Third AS
sistant Postmaster General to-day and
filed a protest against the proposal OF
the Postoffice Department to deny THE
Masses" admission to the mails as sec
ond class matter on the ground that IL
had missed its August issue and was
therefore not a Continuous publica-
ton"
In the affidavits which he filed, Mr..
Roe declared that the August number
of "The Masses" had, according 10 the
decision of Judge Hand, Of the Federal
District Court, been illegally and
wrongfully" barred from the mails by
the Postoffice Department and that the
latter had no right to take advantage
of its own wrongful and illegal act to
deny "The Masses" its full privilege
under the postal regulations. He cited
the letter addressed by Postmaster
General Burleson to Chairman Moon OF
the House Committee on Postoffice and
Post Roads, to the effect that ANY pub
Usher who may question the validity
Of the rulings Of the Postoffice Depart
ment" has the courts open TO him Tor
a review of the action.
"That can only mean that a pub.
Usher has the protection Of the courts"
argued Mr. Roe, against illegal rulings
of the department. But this proposal
to bar The Masses from the second
class privileges is a plain violation OF
the assurance given to the public by
the Postmaster General that no pub
Usher is wholly at the mercy of the
department"
il was announced that the Postoffice
Department would take the argument
under advisement.

Prussian King Told
u. S. His VIII Was Law

It may not be generally known that
some years ago 1850 a predecessor Of
the present reigning "All Highest "
Frederick William ", became a sutton
in the courts Of Missouri seeking TO
recover from the estate OF deceased
postmaster a sum with which he alb
seconded TO America King of Prussia
v. Kuepper's Admr., % Mo. 551).
The royal plaintiff thus modestly de-
scribes his status: The plaintiff states
that he is absolute monarch
of the kingdom of Prussia, and
as king thereof is the sole
government Of that country; that he is
unrestrained by any constitution or law,
and that his will, expressed in due
form, is the only law of that country,
and is the only legal power there known
to exist as law"
All of which is commended to the no.
tice of those whose "consciences" re-
volt at the effort to prevent that type
of government from gaining a world
ascendency.-Law Notes.

Aircraft Association
Called a Monopoly
Aeronautical Society May
Sue Combine Under Anti
Trust Law

Accusations that the Manufacturers
Aircraft Association, which was recent
ly formed, with the announced inten-
ton of removing friction from the pro-
duction of aeroplanes in wartime, is a
combination in restraint of trade were
made last night at a meeting of the
Aeronautical Society of America. Reso-
lutions protesting against the associa-
ton on the ground that il will stihe
inventors were unanimously passed
kilograms we're sent TO the Presi-
dent, the Secretaries of War and the
Navy and the Attorney General. ask
ing whether the government supports
the formation and policy of the associ-
alton. II the government is back of the
association the society will withdraw
its efforts 10 have the association dis
solved by legal action.
The new association controls the
Wright and Curtiss patents, and has
announced that licenses will be issued
under these patents only upon pay
ment of royalties Of 5000 for each ma
chine. 1t is said the Wright company
will receive 100000 from the royal
ties, and when that has been paid the
Curtiss company is to receive the same
amount Later profits are to 20 into
a general fund of the association.
The Aeronautical Society charges
that a ruling of the association where
by any inventor must buy $1,000 in
association stock before his patent will
be considecai. is equivalent to limiting
invention only to those who have money.
Thomas A. Hill, member of the So
eiety, charged that an inventor is forced
TO sign contract agreeing to any ac-
tien that might be saken by the arbi-
tration board. In the event of accept
ance, the patentee would have TO as
sign his patent and lose mis- interest. he
said. This is an excellent opportunity
to sweep the field clear of inventors
who might injure the association with
suits of infringement" said Mr.. Hill.

Germans Find u. S. Trick
Uruguay's War Policy Does
Not Please Newspaper

AMSTERDAM, Aug. 14.-Under the
heading of "A New Trick Of America"
the "Koelnische Volkszeitung' dis
eusses the decree issued by President
Viera of Uruguay, in which he declared
that Uruguay would not regard as
belligerent any American nation at war
with the nations of another continent.
America has hereby assured her
self" the newspaper says, "of advan-
tages that Uruguay's participation in
the war might have brought without
Uruguay declaring war on US. The view
is even held that the position thereby
created is more advantageous and con-
venient for America than if Uruguay
had declared war.
Americas diplomacy having once
made this wonderful invention, it is to
be assumed that il will soon be further
exploited. America will next pretty
certainly force all the South American
states that hitherto have refused to be
constrained into a declaration OF war
to at least follow Uruguay's example"

Must Work Together and
Fight Together, Special
Envoy Asserts
Reception for Mission
Dinner Is rendered Diplomats
From Nippon at a
Pacific Port

A PACIFIC PORT, Aug. IA ne"
day among nations, in which Japan and
America shall forget the little mole
mills that have been exaggerated into
mountains to mar our good relations
and march together, work together and
| fight together as comrades was
pledged here tonight by Viscount K.
Ishii, Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary to the United States.
Heading a special mission, Viscount
Ishii spoke for his government at dim
ner rendered him by this municipality.
The viscount was presented by Gavin
McNab, an attorney sent from Wash
ington to arrange the reception of the
mission, and by the Governor Of the
state and the Mayor Of the city. The
ambassado. said:
1--WE come to you at the dawning OF
a new day. As individuals we have no
right to expect to find place at this
busy time of preparation. But we come
as the humble representatives Of the
gracious sovereign oil friendly and
loyal nation. and We say that we know
we'll that performance. not profession;
deeds, not words; sacrifices, not selfish
ness, are the requisites Of the hour.
"Your Goal Our Coal
"Our message is that in this day,
through its hours of shadow or OF sun
shine, your purpose is our purpose,
your road our road and your goal our
goal. 1t is that America and Japan
will march together, work together and
fight together as comrades until the
end has been reached and the victory
won in the struggle which involves our
rights and our liberties.
at is for that-and | take the lib
erty of using the words Of your great
President, Abraham Lincoln-in order
that each of US may enjoy an open
field and fair chance for our indus
try, enterprise and intelligence that
the struggle must be maintained, that
we may not lose our birthright-the
right Of humanity.
Nations Bound Together
eve are here to say that in this
tremendous struggle for those rights
and liberties America and Japan are
bound together, that when the victory
of the Allied forces is secure America
and Japan should so live that your
sons and our sons will have a certainty
of good neighborliness-so live that no
word or deed of either can be looked
upon with suspicion, that venomous
gossip, hired SANDER, sinister intrigue
and influence, of which we have both
been the victims, can in future only
serve to bring US closer together for
mutual protection and for the COM
mon welfare.
"The Importance Of this cooperation
was brought home to US particularly
as we voyaged safely and pleasantly
across the Pacific Ocean. We must in
deed have assurance Of good order in
our neighborhood. We cannot either
of us take risks. It becomes the first
duty of Japan and America to guard
the Pacific and to assure safe, con-
tinuous intercourse between Asia and
the United States, to see to it that
the ships Of the ferocious pirates
whose crimes upon the high seas can
never be palliated find no shelter in
the waters Of our seas"
