This announcement was made NO

and Colonel House, and possibly also
General Bliss, will be delegates with
ambassadorial rank.

he would be accompanied by dele
gates who will sit as the representa-
tives of the United States throughout
the conference"
Secretary Lansing, who heads the
delegation proper, became secretary OF
state in June, 1915, when William j.
Bryan resigned rather than sign note
to Germany in the Lusitania case
which he thought might lead to war.
Mr.. White, the Republican OF the
delegation, Is a diplomat of long ex'
perience.
Colonel E. NJ. House has never held
public office, but as President Will
sons personal friend and adviser, he Is
credited generally as having played a
greater part in the present admins
tration than any other man except the
president himself.
| General Bliss, who formerly was
chief of staff of the army, went to
Europe last December with an Ameri-
can mission and later was permanently
assigned as the American military rep
resentative on the inter-allied council
at Versailles.

HUNS EXPECT TO RENEW WAR.
Boosted to Citizens Of Strassburg That
They Would Be Back.

Paris.-"Au revoir; We'll be back In
five years." was the parting assertion
of German officers to the inhabitants
of Strassburg. Many Germans were
still extremely boastful as they left
the city, and spoke of new war
which they said was sure to come, with
Germany better prepared economically
to withstand blockade:
The citizens of Strassburg conse-
uuently have petitiOned the allies to
appoint a commission for permanent
control of the German manufacture OF
arms and munitions, with a view to
precluding the possibility of prepara-
tons for a new war.

HOLIDAY SEASON IN ITALY
Dr.. Grenfell Of Labrador Fame
Explains Christmas Observances
In the Sunny Land.

Travellers visiting Rome while 1t
was still the center of land of peace,
found Christmas there day of JOY
BUSINESS; and the merry bells Of many
churches, ushering In the day, spoke
the familiar language Of home.
Just before the war, DR.. Grenfell,
Of Labrador fame, INDUCED in the
unusual luxury of brief holiday in
Europe, after years Of tireless service
among the fishermen. His journey
brought him and Mrs. Grenfell to
Rome just as the many religious and
civil observances of the Christmas
season were about to take place. A
great contrast these scenes were to
the Christmases of icebound Labra-
dor.
The decorations, the greetings, and
the crowds flocking in and out of
churches, emphasized the spirit of the
season. "All the places of worship into
which we peeped," he says. "were
ablaze with lights, while professions
Of priests In glittering robes. with So
norous chOruses and ascending incense,
| appealed to the various senses"
At one church they viewed the five
boards believed to have formed part
| of the cradle Of our Lord.
| The American Episcopal Church Of
st. Paul, where they worshiped on
Christmas morning, was crowded with
the Protestant population Of the Holy
City. A feature Of the service was the
dedicating of beautiful new mosaic,
covering one entire wall of the church
and representing the nativity Of
Christ.
OF the Coliseum, says DR.. Grenfell
1--WE could think of no place better to
suggest to our minds the communion
of the saints; and as we walked
round the tiers Of seats we could see
again the men Of like passions with
ourselves giving their lives for the
same Master We claim to serve"
When darkness had fellen the trav
ellers were attracted by numbers O.
bright lights over by the Porta Sal
Giovanni. These proved to announc,
'all the fun of fair"-tkere in Ital!
just as one finds them In this coun

 Gun running under German-Hindu auspices was the whole story of the schooner Annie Larsen and the steam CT Maverick, as told by the govern nent's witnesses. Evidence was offer ed to show that the schooner left San Diego, Cal March s, 1915, taking a $300,000 cargo of arms and ammuni- tions to the bleak island of Socorro, off the Lower California coast, where the Maverick was to take over the car go and run it into Singapore. The arms, according to the testimony, were paid for by German govemmer' agents.
 The Larsen waited month for the Maverick but missed her and was forced to return for supplies at Ho- quiam Washington, where United States authorities seized her and her cargo.
 The Maverick after waiting a month at Socorro, Island, proceeded for Batavia, and shortly after dropped from sight.

According to the evidence, the movement was directed by Secre- tary Zimmerman, working through the "Ghadr" party, but presntly there was a split among German controlled con Spirators Thereafter it was testified, hundreds of thousands of dollars were poured out by Berlin and other strong holds of the conspiracy through Dr. Chandra K.

The German Consulate in San Francisco was sup posed to have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Berlin for the conspirators, in addition to what Chakravarty got.
 The defense offered was a denial, general and specific, coupled with the accusation that the government vas acting for Great Britain and not in good faith. As to the Maverick ex- petition, the defense maintained that vessel was intended for the oil trade among the South Sea islands. The Larsons arms were said to be Mexi- can revolutionists. The activities of the Oriental iunta were admitted, as were most of the allegations concern ing the activities of the Ghadr party in this country but were held not to con- stitute breach of neutrality. The alleged r,ilitary aspect of the plots was denied.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2G.-The so called Hindu conspiracy case lad the world for it's sage. It brought to light a movement which admittedly was active simultaneously in many world capitals to overthrow British rule in the Punjab, and to extend re- volutionary control until it should in- clude every principality in the vast Indian Empire. The government ot the U. $. acted because it was alleged that American soil was being used to set up a military expedition against a friendly power, and this was the spe- cifc charge against the defendants, of whom there were more than thirty. The case was more an airing of Sev- eral separate conspiracieS than a detailing of one specific plot.
 The prosecution brought in the names of many noted men as princi- pals. agents, or confdants in these all cged conSpiIacies.

MOB DOES NOT
GOVERN RUSSIA
Says Faction in Control
Willing to Make Sacri-
flee for Democracy

Walter Thomas Mills, Socialist
speaker, speaking at the Grand thea
ter Sunday evening for the Grand
free lecture course. declared that
Russia is not governed by a mob, but
is in the hands Of a weIl-governed
and thoroughly organized group
which is willing to make any sacri-
flee to obtain democracy.
Mr.. Mills stated that there are
$4,000, 600 Russians who are stand
ing behind the present organization
and that the great demand is that
the Russian people be given back
their land. He said the United States
sent a commission to Russia TO teach
that land democracy, but that there
was only one member of that body
who could understand what if was
trying to do.
The speaker said peace, when it
comes will be built on the brother
hood of nations, which means the
creation Of a world power to inves-
tigate and settle all questions on in
ternational disputes and the power
to enforce obedience to these ques-
tiOns. He said such a power must
represent all nations and cannot
exist except upon the basis Of inter
national justice. He stated that ex-
istence is impossible without govern
ment for some one must control the
things the people use and the things
people do.
There are three possible ways in
which this control may be obtained"
said Mr.. Mills, "and that is through
unanimous consent, through minority
rule or through majority rule.

Big MISTAKE LETTING
GERMANY SEIZE LANDS

Lieut.. Langmack, Of the Normal
school, was the speaker at the
mems seminar of the Congregational
church. Moorhead. on Sunday. He
gave a strong address before a large
audience on THE Fight of the
Danish People for the American
Ideal Against the German Spirit"
Germany, in order to justify her
theft of the Danish territory" said
Lieut.. Langmacl1, declared that the
Danish people were in reality Ger
mans who had broken off from the
fatherland; and that this seizure
was for the purpose Of bringing
them back where they belonged.
Great Britain and Russia. in view
of what has since taken place, made
one of the greatest mistakes in their
history when they permitted their
seizure to be made. The Danish
people influenced by the American
ideal have gradually come to loathe
the German military system, and to
love the principles of government as
represented in the American repub-
lie. They look to this land as a
place of wonderful opportunity and
they are not disappointed after they
have had time to try it out.
