The debate in the reichstag main
committee. yesterday, according to
reports received here, was opened by
DIR. Gustave Stresemann. national
liberal with a sharp attack on
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollewegs
policy, particularly that of foreign
affairs, which he characterized as
being based on no definite consistent
program. The chancellor retorted
by saying he was forced to look to
reichstag offered no stable majority.
Give him this and he would able to
develop a consistent program.
The Vossische Zeitung adds that
the chancellor expressed readiness
and willingness to carry through
necessary internal reforms.
Herr David, socialist, painted a
picture of the difficult international
situation in Germany. He declared
that the existing dualism between
the government and the people must
cease.
Afternoon papers yesterday gem
orally assume that an agreement of
all parties except conservatives and
extreme socialists has been reached
by a joint declaration to the reich
stag on peace terms and internal re-
forms. This it is said, would con-
tain a reiteration of the chancellor's
announcement of August, 1914, that
Germany's purpose in the war was
not conquest but defense and inde-
pendence of territorial integrity ex-
pressing a readiness to conclude
peace on that basis with a provis-
ion, rejecting all designs aiming at
of international hostility after the
war
The declaration according to re-
port, would also cover the formation
of coalition ministry with all par
ties and immediate reform of the
Prusstan franchise.
The national liberals, however at
a meeting in the evening rejected the
peace pact of the resolution. The
whole matter therefore is in doubt

Many Writers Employ "Disembarl("
for "Debarb" or "Disbark."
New York Times: Probably the
word ''disembark'' is now in such
wide and common usage that to bar
1t from speech and print is impos-
sible and the undertaking of that
task would be complete waste Of
time. Indeed, most Of the dictionary
makers have given up the task in
despair and admitted the absurd
term to full and unreproved stand
ing among it's shrinking and con-
temptuous neighbors.
Still, as everybody must see who
gives the word even q little thought,
'disembark" is a verbal absurdity
and crime, At only to associate with
it's close relative, "disassociate,' and,
though different from, no better than
preventative" that other favorite of
the careless and the-well, let 1t go
at careless.
Why. everybody isn't content to
say or write "debark" or "disbarl1,"
when that is what everybody means,
forever will remain beyond the come
prehension Of reasoning beings,
though obviously there is no mystery
about 1t for the numerous other folk.

orphan, whom they adopted under
the plan outlined by the society for

Under this method, the Moorhead

his country, as more than a million
of Frenchmen already died, and as
the others are always ready to do.
Although Gerard was but aged

The support of the young French

CARE OF HORSE IN
HOT WEATHER.

In hot weather the horse should
be given special attention. The
horse when sweating is using up
water fast. If the horse is worked
hard on a real warm day 1t should
have a liberal supply Of good water.
From morning till noon and from
noon till evening is a long time to
60 without water on a real hot day.
FOR the horse as we'll as for man.. II
water can be carried to the field and
the horses watered in the forenoon
and afternoon but especially in the
afternoon, they will be in better con-
dition to do good work and they viii
be less likely to be affected by the
heat. Care in feeding win also keep
the horse in better condition to re-
sfst the heat. In real hot weather It
paws to give the horses frequent
breathing spells as 1t is easy to injure
the horse on hot day so that its
capacity for work is reduced for
weeks. -Agricultura1 experiment de-

DIDN'T CARE TO COME BACK.
After Thirty Years in Prison, Bos.
ton Man Entered a New World.

From the Memphis Commercial
Appeal: There is an interesting
story told in the Boston newspapers
Of a man who a few days ago was
released from the penitentiary after
serving thirty years. He asked to
be taken to the navy yard, where
several Of the government super
dreadnoughts were undergoing re-
pairs. He sat in silence and re-
marked to the man who accompanied
him that he did not feel that he
was alive.
There were no electric cars when
this prison veteran was committed.
There were no dreadnoughts in the
navy. No airplane had ever crossed.

dreamed of. fremont street was
not then a .thoroughfare of sky
scrapers. There were only modest
buildings in the historic old city

trimmings. 1t was a new city to this
old man who had slipped out of life
thirty years before and had just
come back. He could not realize the
magnitude of human progress.
Outside Of his prison walls the
strenuous world had gone on its
way WLANO
lived his arrested being like an au-
tomaton, his rising and resting, his
life and labor being regulated with
machinelike relentless routine. 1t is
no wonder that he felt like a man OF
another world He could not realize
or appreciate that so much could
have occurred.
No doubt he had checked off each
year as a milestone on the road to
future hope. Each passing mile
stone brought him nearer to home,
to freedom, to happiness.
The last stone was reached. The
prison doors swung open. He was
admitted to Gods fresh air and sun
shine. He realized sadly that he
was but a broken wanderer in an
unknown land and he begged that
he might be taken back to die amid
familiar surroundings.
The man did not care to come
back.
