ANGLO-AMERICAN
WORLD DOMINATION
FEARED IN BERLIN

Amsterdam, Holland, July 5.-(Corrcs-
pondencel-A writer in the junker or.
gan Kreuz-Zeitung of Berlin draws a
dismal picture Of the consequences to
Germany Of a peace without increased
power and annexations. He says:
Seeing that after the natural exhaus-
tion of such a giant war, Germany
could not soon contemplate a fresh
struggle, Great Britain and America
would think, after a Scheideman peace,
they could treat Germany as they
liked. In other words, an Anglo-Ameri-
can world domination would be firmly
established and Germany itself would
be regarded as a second rate power.
Great Britain thereby in reality attain
ing its war aim.
Belief in unlimited military and mari
time superiority by Britain and North
America would henceforth dominate the
world. But a reaction, through an UNI
satisfactory peace, on our internal po-
litical life would be the worst result.
With the first joy at the ending of the
war the question would be earnestly
asked-what have we really fought for
why have so many Germans fallen, 81
many been crippled, why these giant
taxes, this ruined German welfare? The
ground is then prepared for dislnte-
grating social democracy"

INTERESTING POINT AS TO
MAKING WILLS DECIDED

Oklahoma, City, July 13.-Justice Mi
ley Of the supreme court has decided
an interesting point in the making Of
wills. incidentally, he has knocked out
what the supreme court commission
some time ago held was a perfectly
good will.
1t is like this: Mary Hutke, a Creek
Indian woman, was near death and
wanted 10 make a will. She called IN
three neighbors to witness the docu.
ment. Two OF the witnesses knew no
Creek One witness knew both Creek
and English. The will was made in
English. II was attested by the three
witnesses. The declaration that the in.
strument was her will, and that she
desired the witnesses to sign their
names TO the VIII as such was mado
in the Creek language. 1t is held be
cause Of the facts stated that the dec
laration was made 10 only one attest
ing witness. Hence the will failed.

COMPENSATION LAW is
ACCEPTED BY ROCK ISLAND
Other Roads Are Expected to Come
Under Provisions of Statute.

Oklahoma City. July 13-The Chi
cago, Rock Island and Pacific railroad
has recognized the state compensation
law under the terms of that act by
filing application with the state indus
trial board for permission to carry its
own liability insurance under that law.
The permission has been given.
This is the first of the railroads
operating in Oklahoma to recognize the
state law as to compensation rules. The
action of this road will place under the
state industrial commission compensa-
tion for employees injured in the service
who are not in interstate service. This
will include the shopmen and others,
but not the trainmen or trackmen.
Judge A. A. Mcdonald, chairman Of
the commission, said today that the
Rock Island has assented to the state
laws in this regard in two or three
other states that have workmen's COM
pensation laws and this action is ex-
pected TO be followed by other carriers.
One short line in southeastern Okla
homa has heretofore assented to the
provisions of the state law.
One of the things that will be ac-
complished by the railroads of Okla
homa coming under this act where they
traverse both the eastern and western
federal court districts will be relief
from the bringing Of action in one dis
trict where the plaintiff resides in the
other district. thus preventing the rail-
road from removing their cases to the
| federal courts.

PARTISAN IDEAS OF L. S.
French Have Made Many Funny Breaks
About United States,

Los Angeles Times While the French
idea OF America has Of late undergone
a most favorable change, the Paris news
papers in the past have contained most
astonishing statements about the Unit
ed States and Americans. Once a jour
nal in the French metropolis declared:
"In America the houses are heated by
naturas gas that comes from the Rocky
mountains in tubes or pipes. and enters
the houses all over the country. No
other fuel is now in use"
Another article went on TO say that
"All the country west OF Chicago is 4
desert to the California; but it has been
marked off with multitudinous bitches,
which are kept filled with water from
the great Mississippi river. and thus the
land is made fertile and crops may b.,
grown"
Here is an amusing bit about the In.
dians: The American Indians are no
longer a menace TO civilization. They
now live quietly on the outskirts OF all
American cities in quarters provided
for them. and called Indian reserva
tons They may be seen at any time
wandering the streets in their blankets
and feathers"
"The reason" states another article
"why so many Of the great American
fortunes are made in pork packing IS
because the staple diet in America IS
pigs Everyone eats pigs three times
day, just as the Englishman eats
roast beef three times a day"
The downright democratic origin Of
our great men was the subject OF an
other article. THE presidents Of II,
gyeat American republic have all beer

OUR POPULATION.

The multiple 9.32 is being used by

the population from the total regis

The total registration for the city

In Moorhead the total registration
was 932. and that city's population

The total population for the two
