Partition Scheme
Spurned by Belgians

London, June 5.-A dispatch to the
Exchange Telegraph from Amsterdam
says:
According to the 'Tagllche Rund-
schau,' the recent visit to Brussels of
DR.. Won -Hollweg, the Ger
man Imperial Chancellor, to discuss
with General Falkenhausen, the Cover
nor General of Belgium, plan for the
partition of Belgium, revealed the abb
solute refusal of all the Belgian otfl-
Gals to have anything to do with 1t.
THE plan, therefore, will almost
necessarily have to be postponed
Partition Of Belgium by separation
of the Flemings, who are of Teutonic
extraction, from the rest of the popu-
lation, has been a pet scheme OF the
Germans. That they had gone so far
in the attempt to carry IT out as to
send the Chancellor TO Brussels for
that purpose had not previously been
announced.

Several weeks ago this paper made
mention Of the fact that action was
going to be taken by the citizens Of
this community towards getting the
Union Pacific railway company to el-
iminsts tie nuisance of compelling
passengsss getting on west bound
trains to board the trains On ths op-
posite side Of the depot, which pr.c-
tice has caused . great deal Of In
eonvenisace to the travelling public at
this p3aee. Also the matter Of trains
blockading the railroad crossing On
Cedar street, thereby creating con-
siderable Inconvenience to pedestrians
and vehicles coming into and going
out Of our city.
These matters were taken up
and discussed At . recent MONDAY
lunchson held by our business men at
the Brown Hotel, and . committee was
appointed to look into the proposition.
Also the matter Of seeing what could
Be done in regard to securing q new
depot At Julesburg was left in the
hands Of the committee for disposal.
After investigating things thorough
ly and sizing up the situation, the
committee recently took the above
matters up with the state Public Util-
tties Commission at Denver and that
body now have the above matters un-
der advisement. With the powers
vested in the Public Utilities Commits
sion, we believe it only fair that the
commission make q personal investi-
cation, and in that event, we are sure
they will find the situation As has
been represented by the committee.
The above matters are vital to the
people of this community and we
hope to see a remedy Forthcoming in
the near future. Our citizens are not
chronic "kickers" but only wish to be
given fair deal. The practice Of the
travelling public having to wait some
times ten and fifteen minutes at q
railroad crossing on account of train
making . blockade, is outrageous and
also the practice now in effect, where
BY the public is compelled to cross the
railroad tracks and board = west
bound train on the opposite side from
the depot, is indeed = nuisance, and
should be eliminated.
Not long ago the writer saw wo-
man with heavy suit case be COM
PEELED to walk the entire length of .
passenger train of some ten or twelve
coaches. and then back to the front
Of the train on the opposite side in
order to get on the train, on account
Of the fact that she wasn't able to
get ticket and get out Of the depot
and across the tracks before the west
bound train she wished to get on, had
pulled in. The trainmen have specific
orders not to open the vestibules on
the depot side of west bound trains,
when the trains pull into Julesburg,
thus great many times causing a
great inconvenience to the travelling
public.
In regard to the matter of a new
depot for Julesburg, we all know that
the same is badly needed-and that
this city is entitled to new struc-
ture. The present depot is inadequate
for our needs and it is hoped that the
railroad company can be prevailed up
on to erect new station, which will

TO ARREST LEVINE

| Petrograd, July 2S.-The executive COM
mittee of the council of workmens and
soldiers delegates has adopted by an over
whelming majority a resolution censur-
! ing Nikolai Lenine, the radical leader,
and his associate, Zinovieff, and demand
| ing that the radical leaders be tried.
The resolution contains the following
recommendations:
Il. The whole revolutionary democracy
desires that the group of maximalists,
accused of having organized disorders or
melted revolts or of having received
money from German sources, should be
tried publicly In consequence, the execu-
tive committee considers it absolutely in
admissible that Lenine and Zinovieff
should escape justice and demands that
the maximalist faction Immediately and
categorically press its censure of the con-
duct of it's leaders.
20. In view of the exceptional situation,
the committees of workmens and soldiers
delegates demand from all their members
and from all factions of which they are
composed, as well as from all members of
local councils, the putting into absolute
practice of all decisions adopted by the
majority of the central organizations.
%. All persons prosecuted by the judi
cial authority must be removed from

each man shall play the part for which
he is best fitted
Therefore no one has vested right,
by himself or by attorney. to urge, by
argument or pleading. his individual
case upon you. You shall rigidly ex-
clude this. Ordinarily you should act
on the affidavits. If you desire more
information you may proceed to get it.
If you doubt the affidavits you may
interrogate other persons. If you de-
sire more proof you may get it. But
no claimant has a right to submit 9TH
er proof than that called for by regu-
lations or than that you may call for.
There should be no rules like those
of court procedure, no technical rules
of evidence. You sohuld proceed to in
vestigate cases about which you are
not satisfied exactly as you, as an in
dividual, would proceed to inform your
self of any fact about which you are
in doubt.
Last of all, it is important to say
"a word about your own sacrifice. The
place to which you have been called
is one which no man would seek save
in the performance of one of the high
est patriotic duties.
There is not, in any real sense, any
remuneration. Because thousands of
citizens urged that members of local
boards should not be placed in a posi-
ton of performing their grave duties
for pay, the regulations provide that,
ordinarily the service shall be uncom-
pensated. Because it was not desired
that any man be prevented from rem
dering the service by the necessity for
earning his daily bread, small re-
Enumeration was provided.
1.-THE nation needs men, and needs
them quickly. The hours will then be
long and the work absorbing. The duty
is always to take and never to give,
and human nature is such there will
be little praise and some blame. The
sacrifice of many of those whose cases
are to be decided is no greater than
that of the men who are deciding them;
and your only reward must be the
knowledge that at great personal sac
rifice you are rendering your country
an indispensable service in a matter
of the utmost moment"
