LEVY CITIZENS
 ARE INDEPENDENT
THEY ARE OPPOSED TO ANNExA- TON TO ARoENTA.-AN ATToR- NEY HAS BEEN RETAINED
 TO FIGHT MOVE.

The citizens of Levy are independ- ent. They arc planning to make determined fight against the annexa- tion of their town to the city of Ar genta.
 The question of annexing Levy, a large portion of Big Rock, the 22-acre tract known as Boone Memorial park and considerable property in tho ex- treme eastern section of the city will be voted on at the general city elec- ton April 3. II is expected that the only opposition will come from the residents of Levy, who have always opposed annexation.
 A meeting to plan the fight will be held at Levy this week. It is said that virtually every resident of Levy is op- posed to annexation. Postmaster W. r. Stanley, a large property owner, said an attorney has been retained by Levy residents, who will resort to every legal means to prevent annexa- tion
 Only legalized voters residing with in the city limits are allowed by law to vote on the question. Persons op-. posed to the annexation are allowed to register their protest with the county judge, when the petition for annexation is heard. If it is voted to take in the additional territory, it will then rest with the county judge, who has authority to decide the question. The annexation of Lovy would extend the northern city limits nearly mile. The Levy schoolhouse would be the city limits line.

PARIS SEES CRISIS
IN GERMAN EMPIRE
jubIlant and Sober Comment in
French Press.
SAYS MASTERS WILL REMAIN
Some Journals Trace Won Bethmann
HoilWeg's Overthrow To This
Utterance During the
Early Fighting.

| PGris.-The Paris press halls the re-
urement OF Dr. Won Bethmann-Hollweg
from the German chancellorship with
varying degrees of satisfaction Some
OF the comment is in jubilant tone,
while other editors treat the event
soberly. All, however, are agreed that
it indicates crisis in Germany, of IN
! precedented Importance.
AS might be expected the phrase
scrap of papers," frequently crops out
in the comment, and some of the Jour-
nails trace the Chancellor's downfall
back to that early-in-the-war utterance
OF his. The Petit Parisen is one of the
newspapers that is not optimistic over
the development, for it says:
Though the chancellor changes, the
German masters remain the same 1t
is they and not the retiring function

their appetite for universal domino.
ton. In what measure may they have
changed their minds, and are they
capable of speaking up now for peace?
Just in such measure as they realize
that victory has escaped them and that
defeat is approaching; in such meas
ure as the intolerable sufferings of
their hungry peoples are growing.
"Bethmann-Hollweg is being dis
missed because of his declarations and
mistakes at the beginning of the war,

by his acts and words than was this
dOcile functionary who never dared to
tlke the initiative. Bcthmann-Hollweg
would never have been disavowed had
the hopes of his masters been realized
by victory. He who gets his portfolio
will inherit his burden and the same
insurmountable difficulties"
LIE Journal says: 1.-The Chancellor
was so accustomed to let things be
that he seems to be surprised to find
himself at the bottom Of the abyss.
His famous exclamation, "a scrap of
paper" which many thought to be only
cynical utterance, now echoes like
cry of distress. 1t seems now as
if Bethmann-Ho,lweS had foreseen the
catastrophe"
In the view of L'Hommen Enchaine,
the Chancellor's retirement marks the
beginning Of a tragic era for Germany.
The Action Franchise says that the
Chancellor's departure indicates the
depth to which the Germans have de-
scended in their spirit of violence and
Libre Parole says: "The scrap of
paper has finished by strangling Beth
The Peace party has
rejected him not because it doubted his
malleability- his career showed he
possessed that-but because it con-
sidered him compromising.

on the singular coincidence that DR..

chancellor ended on an average of the
day it began-July IA.
