went to the desert with Director Allan
Dwan and several scores of real west
ern cowboys, virtual tenderfoot. He
came back ten days later having not
only learned every trick of horseman-
ship the cowboys could show him but
having used most of them in the pic

And be sure that no one doubles for
Dug. Fairbanks, whatever the risk. II
there is something hard to do, like
out5oxing a professional pugilist, or
outriding a. wiry cowboy, that is the
particular thing that the irrepressible
young star is looking forward to with
boys enthusiasm.
He found plenty of the sort in "'rhe
Good Bad Man, and, in the words OF
one of his cowboy company, '"He just
ate 'em, licked his lips and looked for
more"

1t has been made fairly clear, how
ever, that Germany had no idea of
yielding to the Bolsheviki on the ques-
ton of evacuation of Russian occu-
pied territory, which had been the
skipping point in the negotiations, and
that she was preparing virtually to
ignore the Bolsheviki as long as she
could make peace with the Ukraine,
and secure the opening Of the from
tiers to the rich grain growing prov
inces controlled even nominally by the
Ukrainians.

SLAIN RANCHER'S
DAUGHTER IN SUIT
OYER HIS ESTATE
Mrs. May L. Moran Would Have
Agreefent With Attorneys
Set Aside

Dickinson, Nd, Feb 11.-Mrs May
L. Moran, daughter of the late J. H.
Caldwell, who met tragic death at
the hands Of his hired man last sum-
mer, has started an action through
Attorney j. p. Cain, in an effort to
have an agreement she has with At.
torneys Leslie A. Simpson and T. D.
Casey set aside. 49,. H..
By the terms of the Caldwell will
she was left only $25 of the estate,
besides a certain sum each month for
maintenance under certain conditions.
The major portion Of the estate was
ordered to be held in trust for a Pc
ried of % years, and at the end of
that time, if not claimed by Jay Allen
Caldwell, the son who had disap-
peared, would be turned over to Mrs.
C. H. Lovewell, a sister of the de-
ceased The will also provided that
Mrs. Caldwell should get $4,000 and
other personal property. .'
Mrs. Moran was not satisfied with
the terms of the will, and engaged
Attorneys Simpson and Casey to bring
suit to have the provisions Of the will
revoked, making a contract with them
to assign half of what she received in
payment of their services. It is al.
legged that the other bene6ciaries of
the will, when approached, signif1ed
their willingness to take cash settle
ment and then assign their interests
to May Moran if the suit to set aside
the will was dismissed. M,, q..ar...
Settlement was made with the Love-
wells by Attorneys Simpson and
Casey, they putting up $500 in cash
to complete this matter. In order to
make themselves safe in the transac.
tion,, the attorneys in turn took a
mortgage from Mrs. Moran for $4,000
to cover their cash outlay and ex-
penses. Markless Smith, son of Mrs.
Caldwell, also made claim to portion
of the estate as heir of his mother.
But as it was matter of doubt wheth.
er or not Mrs. Caldwell or her hus-
band was shot first by the crazed MUIR.
derer, Chumick, it was a rather fine
point Of law if the wife or the hus.,
band would be declared the heir of
the other AS consequence Smith
agreed to make settlement for GER
tain sum, and also released his inter.
ests in the will. 4
If this latter settlement with Smith
would be made, besides the arranging
of other details, Mrs. Moran would
stand a fair chance to receive the bal
ance of the Caldwell estate, which is
valued at about 100000.
/, About this time Mrs. Moran began
to balk at the idea Of fulfilling her
agreement with her attorneys, and EN-.
ployed Attorney Cain to bring action
in an effort to have the agreement set
aside. It is understood that applica-
ton has already been made. by Mr..
Cain to have the executors of the es-
tate made parties with Mrs. Moran
in the suit.

Lieutenant General Jan Christian

guests he said that the greatest and
most fruitful fact of the great wal
had been the coming together Of Eu-
rope and America.
old Europe is dead and new

In the upbuilding OF this new
world the cooperation OF America is
/ essential 1t is for the good of both
America and Europe that the for

4 Their close cooperation henceforth
Will form the best guarantee OF the
future peaceful development OF
CIyiIIzatlon.
When the great American re-
public joined US III the struggle, il
was not only with material wea-
p0E5 but with all that moral rein

splendid vision and moral enthus-
lasIn of President Wilson, speaking s

ION OF Il league OF nations, and our
main concern now must be the say
ing OF Europe for the future of the

for victory, let US now organize the
world against hunger. That will be
the best preparation for the new
order of international good feeling
and cooperation.
The position is tragic in the ex-
treme. 4 whole world order is
passing away. There is danger OF

Of civilization; now let us care foI
its sick body.
Not only the liberated territories
of our allies. not only our small

countries themselves require ouI
