BELIEVE MEX|CANS HAD
SOME SECRET MISSION

| BUENOS AIRES. January 1.-THE
foreign office intimates that the Mexi-
can delegation, consisting largely OF
military men, aviators and newspaper
correspondents, which came to Argen-
tina ostensibly to attend the proposed
congress of neutral Latin American ma
| tions, must have a secret mission.
which is unknown even at the foreign
office. 1t is said ample notification was
given Of the postponement of tho con-
gress Several of the Mexicans are
openly pro-German.
| Passengers on the ship on which the
Mexicans came say that the delegates
We're placed under arrest at Bahia and
were denied entrance to other Brazilian
ports, the Brazilian authorities taking
the ground that the mission was more
German than Mexican.
May Not Be Government Guests.
Inasmuch as the invitation was
withdrawn when the neutral congress
was postponed. it is said the Mexicans
probably will not be treated as guests
of the government.
Luis Cabrera, former minister or
finance in the CarranZa cabinet, heads
the Mexican delegates now at Buenos
Aires. HIS LOT al was
followed closely by publication of the
Luxburg cablegrams. in one OF which
the German charge at Buenos Aires re-
ported to Berlin that the Argentine
president had agreed to seek an anti
North American alliance with other
Latin American countries.
Cabrera Left Washington Incensed.
Cabrera came to Washington last
month to negotiate for a relaxation OF
the American export embargoes to let
foodstuffs go into Mexico. When he
found that he would have to deal with
the war trade board instead of having
his negotiations directly with Secre-
tary Lansing he was greatly fncensed.
and left Washington without the for
mality of good-byes to the State De-
partment Shortly afterward it was
learned that he was sailing from New
York for Buenos Aires.
Little is known here about the pro-
posed Latin American Congress. now
postponed. Diplomatic observers. how
ever have attributed the project to the
activities of Luxburg in Argentina and
the notorious Eckart, German minister
at Mexico City.

PEABODY COAL PRICE"
SUBJECT OF INQUIRY
Secretary Lane Before Senate Com
mittee, But Merely Tells of Check
ing Advances.

The Peabody coal price, fixed by
| the coal operators last June, at the
| suggestion of Secretary Lane Of the
Interior Department, a member OF the
Council of National Defense, and later
frowned upon by Secretary Baker OF
the War Department. who is chairman
| of the Council of National Defense. was
the subject of inquiry today at the
hearing before the Senate manufactures
committee on the coal shortage.
Secretary Lanse was called to the stand.
| He told the committee that at the time the
| Peabody price was fixed prices Of coal
were jumping higher and higher and that
he believed something should be done to
stop it. A meeting Of coat operators was
called by F. S. Peabody, who is chairman
of the coal production committee OF the
Council of National Defense.
Secretary Lane said tnat he had made
an appeal to the coal men to fix a
maximum price so as to stop the ad-
vance in prices. He said he made the
appeal on patriotic grounds. and that
the coal operators met it. He made no
suggestion of the figure which should
be set. The price fixed was So ton
in the east and $2.75 in the west. This
price, he explained, was reduction OF
practically 50 a ton over the then ex-
isting market price.
Commends Coal Operators.
Il thought their action highly COM
menda able" said Secretary Lane. "Of
course, we had to rely on the operators
to enforce the price, but they had the
power to do SO. 1t was estimated at
the time that the reduction to the Pea
body price if maintained for year
would save the people hundreds of mil
Inns of dollars
Secretary Lane said that his only
thought had been to keep down the
price of coal and at the same time to
increase production during the summer
months.
In reply to a question by Senator
Lodge. Secretary Lane said that the
Peabody price had never become effec-
tive.
Price Called Unjust.
Senator Lodge produced a letter.
written by Secretary Baker June 80. in
which he declared that the Council of
National Defense could fix no coal
prices and stating that the Federal
Trade Commission was then investigat-
ing the cost of coal and declaring that
the Peabody price Of So a ton was exor-
bitant and unjust.
Secretary Lane said that he did not
undertake to say whether the Peabody
price was reasonable.
All / did was to try to reduce the
high prices and to prevent further in
crease" he said.
Mr. Peabody was called to the stand
following Secretary Lanes testimony.

Desire Speedy Peace.

The Russian government. however.
wrote at the head of it's program a
world peace. The great sympathies of
the Russian people for the peoples Of
the allies strengthen it in its desire to
attain the speediest peace based on un-
derstanding among the peoples"
The Russian account says: "Our gov
ernment placed at the head of its pro-
gram a world peace. but it promised the
people to sign only a democratic and
just peace. The sympathies of the Rus
sian people are with the working
classes of Germany and her allies.
Years of war have not hardened the
heart of the Russian soldiers. who
stretch forth their hands to the people
on the other side"
Regarding the proposal to remove the
negotiations to Stockholm, the Russian
version says, in part:

Russian Account of Peace
Pact Denies Details Given
in Hun Version of Conference

LONDON, January 1.-THE Russian
account of the session of the peace con-
ference at Brest-Litoysk shows con-
siderable variance from the German
version transmitted by the Wolff bu-
reau Saturday The Russian version
pictures the Russian delegates as act
ing throughout with more than suspi-
cion-rather than an actual conviction
that the German delegates were vir-
tually agents of the military and an
nexationist groups. One passage of
Trotzky's speech which the Wolff bu-
reau omits follows:
THE sincerity of our aspirations for
peace are sufficiently proved by our at
titude regarding the free right Of de-
velopment of Finland, Armenia and
Ukrafnia The other side has only to
show an analogous attitude regarding g
the regions occupied by it."
Referring to an early part of Trotz-
ky's speech. the German version speaks
of a certain telegram, about which it
says NJ. Trotzky expressed regrets. The
Russian version says nothing about re-
grets. but introduces a fiery passage
asserting that the German viewpoint
regarding reoccupied territories is
merely that the will of the people
should be replaced by the will of a
privileged group. Near the close is a
passage which the German version
gives thus:

Home Talent Scores Success

The presentation of 'In Village
Post Office by local theatri-
cal talent at the Auditorium on Mon
day evening was accorded capacity
turnout of the people of Langdon and
surrounding towns that was repre-
sented at the box office by sale of
seats aggregating $3.50 90. The net
proceeds, about $4,000 was more
than enough to enable the Langdon
womans club to pay off the debt out
standing against the piano which they
placed in the assembly hall of the
high school about a year ago. OF the
play itself, the entire cast is entitled
to unstinted commendation for the
effort made to amuse and entertain.
Langdon always is generous in the
response it makes to home talent
shows and the crowd that filled the
Auditorium on Monday evening GER
tainly got its moneys worth-and
then some.

RED CROSS AUCTION
BIGGEST KIND OF Time

with the sale that the funds of the
various branches of the Red Cross
that have been identified with the
huge success attending the sale will
be credited with a pro rata of the net
receipts when a settlement is made.

the rumor that gained circulation
around Langdon last week when it
was reported that Anton Rose, son
of County Commissioner Loui Rose

The rumor has not yet been traced

scorn, though no doubt the family
felt hurt. He knew that his boy

SON OF MT. CARMEL. WELL |.
KNOWN FAMILY IS GONE

The death at the family home at
Mt. Carmel on Monday morning of
Albert Boesl, aged nineteen years and
the third son of Mrs. John Boesl,
came as terrible shock to the family
and many friends of the deceased, who
was held in high regard and esteem
by all who knew him.
AS recently as Friday of last week
he had been around the home and
helping with the work on the farm,
complaining of nothing more than
feeling weak and tired out, attributed
by himself and others as merely a
spring ailment.
Friday he took to his bed and when
the doctor was summoned it was
found that the case was a hopeless
one of diabetes in an acute form.
There was no pain or suffering, the
strength of the patient gradually
wasting away with the rapid inroads
made by the disease.
With che exception of two sisters.
Miss Lucy A. Boesl, of Gull Lake,
Sask., and married sister, residing
at Detroit, Mich the family were
all gathered at the bedside when the
end finally came on Monday morning.
The death of he father, some four
years ago was from very similar
cause and the second visitation by
death within the family circle is an
occasion of much sympathy being ten
dered the bereaved ones. The funeral
yesterday forenoon held from the
Catholic church at mt. Carmel was
attended by large concourse of sor-
rowing friends the neighboring towns
of Langdon, Dresden and Wales be-
ing represented as mark of respect
to the family.

DEATH HAS CLAIMED TALL
CH|EFTA|N OF PEMB|NAS

On Monday forenoon Langdon peo-
pie learned of the passing from this
life of another of the builders cf
North Dakota and one of the familiar
figures in the early history making of
North Dakota as territory and
state. Hon. Judson LaMoure, who
on Monday passed to his fathers at
an advanced age for the past quarter
of d century had practically ceased
his active career as statesman and
politician and in fact for years owing
to health conditions had not been re-
sldent of the state, his home being
in the pine growing regions of Mime
sofa, while he went south to Florida
each year with the approach of the
winter season. sHtJud'' LaMoure was
for nearly half Century what might
be termed the "king maker'' of
North Dakota and there are today
still left some whose provincial
thrones have elevated thereon men
who owe their prominence to the be.
Inefficient hand of the king maker.
Like.other really great men of the
west the true extent of his benefac-
tations will never be known and his
funeral this week at the old home in
Pembina is undoubtedly being attend.
ed by mourner of all degrees from the
length and b4eadth of the state.
There were many unique traits about
Jud LaMoure as a man that will
long be recalled by those who in life
were his companions, beth in the le-
gis!ative halls at Bismarck and at his
home in the Red River Valley at
Pembina.
