New York, June 5.-Ten billion dol
lars to be spent during the coming
year by the United States and the al
lied governments for the products OF
American farms, mines and factories,
Secretary McAdOo declared here last
night, will bring to the country the
greatest prosperity in its history
Some people profess apprehension
about the future Of business said
Mr.. McAdoo. "Why, gentlemen, pros.
perity in the next IL months will be
greater than it ever has been in our
history. You cannot prevent it if you
try. The only thing that could stop

would be the refusal of the people
to support the reasonable measures of
taxation that are needed, and to buy
the bonds of the government
The secretary addressed great
mass meeting at Carnegie hall In be-
half of the Liberty Loan, which, he
warns, would succeed as it must sue
coed only if everyone did his duty.
He appealed to those who cannot fight
on the battle front to supply the
means that will enable the govern
ment to provide for the soldiers who
go to the front.
Offers a Privilege.
1--WE have offered this great Liberty
Loan" he said what does it
mean? 1t means that your govern
ment offers you a privilege, it asks
you men and women not to give some
thing to your government, but to buy
the best investment on earth, some
thing that is as safe as currency, yet
better than currency, because cur
rency does not bear interest, while
these bonds do bear interest at three
per cent. 1T asks you to buy within
your means in order that the gov
eminent may be supplied with money
to properly equip our brave men, who
have to go on the field of battle to
protect your lives, your liberty and
property must bear it's share of the
burden.
IF this war continues for another
II months, it is probable that the to-
tai amount of financing that the gov
eminent will have to do to cover its
own expenditures. and to extend the
necessary credit to the allied govern
ment will amount to $10,000,0G0,O00.
It is proposed that only Is per cent of
this colossal sum, namely $1,8O0,OO0,.

GERMANY'S FAITH IN BOATS
DWINDLES

The Amsterdam News van den
Dag in an article on the German sub
marine campaign says:
In reading the German press it is
very noticeable that the high-strung
expectations cherished at the begin
ming of the new submarine war are
slightly declining.
AT first it was as if it was believed
that the entente, having repulsed
Germany's outstretched hand, would
be compelled to conclude the peace
it despised in two or three months.
"Gradually, however, it is becoming
understood that it is no question of a
couple of weeks or months, and al
ready they sing a slightly lower
tone.

WHY ARE WE FIGHTlNG--
"Why are we fighting Germany?
The brief answer is that ours is a
war of self-defense. We did not wish
to fight Germany. She made the at
tack upon US, not on our shores, but
on our ships, our lives, our rights,
our future. For two years and more
we held to neutrality that made us
apologists for things which outraged
mans common sense of fair play and
humanity.

of Belgium, the killing of civilian Bel
gians, the attacks on Scarborough and
other defenseless towns, the laying of
mines in neutral waters, the fencing

FIRST DISTRICT CONTEST.

North Dakota is vitality interested
in the First district congressional con-
test. 1t will be the first test vote on
the leagues strength since it swung
into power.
Townley is willing to go to the mat
and puts forward rs the most likely
candidate one John Baer, recently
democratic postmaster at Beach, the
town where the league was conceiv-
ed and born.
Mr.. Baer has not lived in the dis
trict long enough to be identified
with the politics of that section. He
has never been accused Of being a
politician. On the other hand, he
has the reputation of being a genial
fellow, whose caricatures did much
to visualize the working of T0wnley's
versatile brain to the farmers of
North Dakota.
He is solely a henchman of Mr.
Townley's. Mr. Eaer was unknown
to politics until MIR. Townley started
him out in his career of chalk and
charcoal.
The selection of Mr.. Baer means
that Townley not only desires to test
the leagues strength in the First,
but he desires to prove to his own
satisfaction that Townley is still king
of the league Eaer's victory would
demonstrate both. hence Mr. Townley
thus joins the issues in the cartoon
ISIS candidacy
But what of the farmers? What
of Senator Drown? They are ignor-
Z ed, rejected and forgotten.
: ,Many%of the men who selected Mr..
Baer as the leagues candidate did
not even reside in the First district.
Mr.. Townley hand.picked his conven-
ton rs carefully as he did the dele
gates to the Fargo meeting when the
state ticket was selected. Only the
tried and true were called and in
most instances the money was for
warded from the leagues strong box

tunity to take deeper plunge into
socialism. Under the Townley die
tum, Mr.. Baer becomes the candidate
OF the socialists, Mr.. Bangs, the legit.
innate representative of the demo.
cratic party, and third man, yet un-
named, will enter the list as standing
for republican principles.
1t is announced that Mr.. Baer will
run as a Non-partisan. which is a
euphoniOus alias for a socialist.
The voters of the First district
should bear in mind that the issues
are clean cut between Townleyism
(socialism), the democratic doc
trines and republican principles. Mr.
Baer should be forced to state his
platform and if he is honest with the
voters of the First district he will
state the soCialistic platform of his

of William King which has been pre-
served for twenty months is described
by anatomists as left handed, both
inside and out" according to a state
ment made public today at the city

On May s, 1915, King, who was 50
years old, applied at the hospital for
treatment. He said he was a laborer
and had lived most Of his life in Wis
consin. He was suffering from ~
Ihoid fever.
When asked who should be notified
in case of his. death, King said:
Don't worry about that Just cut
me up and examine my body. There's
something wrong with me besides the
fever" He died few days later.
When surgeons made an examina-
ton of the body they found one of the
most abnormal cases in the history
of surgery. The heart was on the
right side, the liver on the left; the
appendix was on the left side and the
spleen on the right. The stomach
was turned around completely. On
the left lung was three lobes, the
right lung had but two. The left
