T WILL YIELD.
But Holland Prefers to Intern Elk
Kaiser for Life,

London. Dec. IF the Allies in
.sist upon the delivery of the former
German Emperor and Crown Prince
to- an international court of justice
Holland will yield, but will first urge
that the Allies content themselves
with an undertaking by Holland to
intern them for life in n Of the
Dutch colonies, according to an Am
sterdam dispatch to The Express.
Holland, it is understood, will
suggest that Herr Hohenzollern and
his SON be placed on an island in
either the East or Dutch West Indies,
where he will be guarded by a
Dutch fleet.
1t is also anticipated that Holland
will be asked for compensation for
permitting a violation of her neu-
trality by allowing German troops
to pass through the province of
Limburg on their retreat from Bel
GUM and receiving German ships
from Antwerp. This compensation
may possibly be the cession of GER
tain territory along the Belgian fron-
tier owned by Holland since 1889.
Perhaps the southern part of Dutch
Limburg will be demanded. The
population of this region us princi-
pally Belgian.

NAVY TO HAVE 1921 SHIPS.
Statement Prepared by Rear Admiral
Grif6n.-4O Battleships.

Washington, Dec. 1.-The Ameri-
can navy will number a total of l.
291 vessels, including forty battle
ships and 329 destroyers on July l,
1920, according to a statement pre-
pared by Rear Admiral Griffin, chlef
of the bureau of steam engineering,
for the House naval committee.
The statement shows that when
war was declared there were 1854

/. ten days before hostilities ceased,
there were TT, exclusive of private
" owned yachts and other vessels
taken over for patrol service. The
greatest increase was 800 in sub
marine chasers. The increase in de-
stroyers was forty-one to a total of
ninety-two, and that of submarines
from forty-four to se%venty-nine.
Only two eagle boats had been

GRUBBS STILL WIGGLES.

/. Some time ago, Proctor patrons
of the public schools made COM
plant to the state superintendent
of schools concerning former sup
erintendent e. G. Grubbs, basing
their charges on allegations that
the educator had gone too far in
+. removing waists and MILDLY
blouses when measuring the busts
and making other physical exam
nations of young school girls.
After a formal hearing, the
state board of education revoked
Grubbs' license to teach in the
state of Minnesota, such action
being taken Sept. ~.
On or about October 10, Grubbs,
by counsel, appeared in the Su-
preme court and secured a writ
to have the action reviewed, al
leging that state superintendent
Schulz acted illegally in sustaining
the Proctoronian charges of inef-
ficiency.
The contention was argued be-
fore the supreme court on Oc-
tober Is but, up to the time these
lines are written, no decision has
been handed down.
If State superintendent Schulz's
action is not sustained by the SUI
preme court, it is assumed that
Grubbs will then have right-of-
way for a suit to collect salary
under an unexpired contract with
the Proctor board of education.
The last heard of former sup
erintendent Grubbs, he was check
ing ore cars in the Proctor yards.

WHY COMMERCIAL CLUBS
FAIL.

Why do commercial clubs so
frequently disappoint? Why, for
instance, is the United States
Chamber of Commerce, dominated
as it is by the special interests,
able to make the clubs in the little
cities come to heel on about any
thing the special interests want
One of the big reasons is given by
A. B. Gilbert in a new book,
"American Cities, Their Methods
of Business, when he says: "Due
to lack Of clear perspective the
small business Of the city fire.
quently allows men engaged in
the utilities or in land speculation
to have the controlling interest in
the commercial club, and men of
this type aim to acquire as much
as possible of political and social
power. With such men in control,
no matter how capable they may
be, the, club will do very little to
promote the city"
The special interests preying on
the city have more of an oppor-
tunity to control the commercial
club than the public offices. The
election of officers, the voting on
measures is done openly and the
small business man with his many
obligations does not dare to Op:
pose the ruling clique-Ex.

HOGITEERING PROFITEERS.
Butter and milk seem to be
favorite media for profits by Food
Hogs in these lean DAYS of living.

Butter and milk seem to be
favorite media for profits by Food
Hogs in these lean days of living.
Several restaurants in the
Northwest are charged with ask
ing 3 cents for an order of butter,
says an exchange. Such an Or
der weighs just about 100 grains.
There are just 1000 grains in a
pound. At that rate, one pound of
butter costs the restaurant patron
$3.50. The average price now
paid the butter-making farmer is
about 40 cents a pound.
The retail price of milk in the
Twin Cities has just been advanced
q cent a quart. There are 461s
quarts in 100 pounds of milk.
When the retail price went up, the
milk producers were paid 40 cents
per hundred for their milk. At
the same time, the distributors got
461k cents a hundred more.
Just how the figures run in con-
nection with butter and milk
prices i'm Duluth has not yet been
figured out.

PATRIOTISM BY PROXY.

1t was in the smoking room OF
the Pullman:
"I'm not going to buy any
AZ per cent bonds when I can
lend my money at 6 per cent,
and I'm not going to pay out the
difference to the Red Cross,
either. I'm not going to eat sub,
stitutes in my bread. I've sent
two boys to the war and that s
enough e! for one man to sacri'
fice."
"Sacrifice nothing," said one
who overheard. "Those boys are
81 and are their own men. The
sacrifice is theirs, not yours. You
worked them as long as the law
would allow and now are trying
to capitalize upon their service.
If you will invest a little money
made in a free country that your
boys may have something to fight
With and be cared Tor when
wounded, and if you, yourself,
will not sacrifice even your per-
sonal appetite that they may be
fed, you are either a pro-German
or a Tightwad from Tightville
and, in either case, you care
more for vOur stomach than for
your boys.''
The incident, which is actual
and not fictitious, reminds us of
nothing SO much as Of the Ger
man farmer who complained of
his bad luck in losing both his
wife and his best cow, fright in
the midst of the busiest season.
