American Officers In France
Keep "Boarding" Prices Down

AMERICAN TRAINING CAMP IN
FRANCE, July 1S.-The latest develop
rient of the camp is postoffice which
will enable men to mail letters either
home or to any other point in the
world. to keep in constant communica-
tion with friends, without revealing
the exact whereabouts by the tell-tale
cancellation mark on envelopes and to
receive mail either through families
or friends who do not know what the
destination of their letters may be.
The system naturally will be enlarg-
ed to fit needs.
At present it consists in requiring
of each soldier or officer that he ad-

BELIEVES
STATE WILL PAY

County Clerk Kelly and other county
officials who were connected with the
registration for the constitutional con-
vention, are awaiting with interest the
opinion of the attorney general as to
whether the county and state legally
will be able to bear the expense of the
clerks hire and other incidentals of
the registration.
According to several state officials
it will be impossible to appropriate
public funds for the purpose of paying
for the registration inasmuch as the
law was declared unconstitutional, no
law ever existed and therefore the
county officials had no right to ap-
propriate or spend the money and will
have to reimburse the public treasury
with the funds spent from their own
pockets.
1t is the opinion of Clerk Kelly how
ever. that no collection will be made
from the county officials, as they were
acting in good faith when the regis
tration was started.
when the law was passed, a pen
atty was imposed for any one who
failed to carry out the duties set out
in the law. and now they want US to
pay for doing the very things that we
would have been fined for if they had
not been DONE" Kelly declared today.

On Their Trail Now.
There are several men who have
been buying liquor and giving it to the
soldiers, and as soon as possible these
men will be caught and brought into
court" Lewis declared.
Two of the men were placed in the
guard house last night after they had
been disturbing the residents in the
vicinity Of North Ninth and A streets
by their boisterous talk and actions.
An effort was made by Patrolman
Wierhake to arrest the two men at the

MIcHAELIS SILENCE SEEN
AS SIGN OF PAN.GERMANiSM

COPENHAGEN, July 1s.-Chancel-
lor Michaelis, as a Danish editor re-
marked, Is preserving the silence Of
sphinx on the German peace program
and the questions of internal reforms
but the liberal press and politicians
in Germany manifest an increasing
apprehension that when the sphinx
finally breaks silence he will speak
with decided pan-German accent.
Herr Michaelis' putting forward Of
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
General Won Ludendorff to discuss
German peace conditions with mem
bers of the Reichstag, his failure to
consult parliamentary leaders on pros
pective new appointments to the i'm
perial Prussian cabinet, his antece-
dents. previous environment and the
openly avowed satisfaction of the con-
servative national liberal party men
with the change in chancellors, con-
tribute, as Tuesdays German news
papers, show, to the marked uneasy
feeling in liberal and socialist circles
on what the chancellor's maiden
speech Thursday will show.
No Program Expected.
The speech is not expected to go ex-
haustively into questions of reform or
peace as the time is too short for Chan
cellor Michaelis to elaborate definite
program. The Socialists agency re-
ports that in all probability, he will ask
six weeks grace to inform himself and
work out detailed policy.
The agency, undoubtedly speaking
for Herr Scheidemann, the socialist
leder, demands, however, that Herr
Michaelis Immediately and unequivo-
cally make clear his attitude on the
Prussian franchise reform and the
reace formula.
The Lokal Anzeiger also reckons the
deferred presentation Of the chancel-
lor's program and instances the ques-
tion of parliamentizing the govern
rlent as one of the problems Herr
Michaelis will avoid because it cannot
be approached until after exhaustive
discussion by the federal government.
Center Changes Sides.
It appears unnecessary for Chancel-

this question at all because the Catho-
lie Centre party has already changed
sides, it explains in an inspired article
in the clerical papers that the party
Interpretation Of parliamentary re-
forms is merely the bringing OF the
government and parliament into init
mate touch-not the introduction Of
parliamentary regime to which the
centre is now as always opposed.
The centre merely wishes to change
the system that at present hinders
parliament from entering the govern
ment. The national liberals have also
a CLOSE touch theory.
The papers manifest some uncertain
ty regarding the fate Of the Reichstags
peace resolution. The critical and rad
ical organs insist 1t will have big ma
iority although they evidently are
counting on some decidedly uncertain
votes. They fear however, Chancellor
Michaelis will refuse to accept 1t as a
tasis of his policy.
Vorwaerts, the socialist newspaper,
in a leading article warns Herr Mich
aelis OF the danger of temporizing on
either question. 1t says the crisis per-
haps, is not over and may re-develop
after short pause. 1t is even conceiv-
able that the next manifestation may
not pass with the complete order char
acterizing the last.
