T0WNLEY Is QUOTED.

Jackson, Mimi. June 26.-Long ex-
tracts from addresses by A. c. TownIey
at mass meetings at New Ulm, Mimi, in
1917 and 1918, were read into the rec
ord in district court here this afternoon
at the trial of President Townley of the
National Non-partisan league and his
former lieutenant, Joseph Gilbert, who
are charged with conspiracy to commit
disloyalty.
The Townley addresses were made at
New Ulm on June %, 1917. and ON Feb
ruary 20. 1918 The report of the first
address as printed in the New Ulm
Journal was read by Philip Leisch, pub
Usher of the Journal. and the second ad-
dress was read by Alexander Seifert,
court reporter from Springfield, Mimi.
who testified that he copied the speech
in shorthand. The reports of the
speeches were admitted as evidence after
the attorneys for the defendants had
argued that the court permit only testi-
mony regarding speeches which Town
ley or Gilbert had made in Jackson
county. New Ulm is in Brown county.
The defendants attorneys did not
question the accuracy of either of them
as read in court. In fact, they read into
the record long sections of the speeches
after the prosecuting attorney introduced
sections which he claimed were part of
the evidence upon which the disloyalty
charges are based
In both addresses. as read in court.
Townley discussed the war and devoted
most of his time to consideration of
economic issues and to assailing war
profiteers." The addresses seemed to
be quite similar. Townley charged in
both speeches that in 1915 "the profits
of war corporations were four billion
dollars" and he demanded that the
wealth Of the nation should be conscript-
ed as well as the men.
The portion of Townleys second
speech at New Ulm which received the
most attention from the attorneys fol-
lows:
You hear them say all over the
policies, this is not a time for the peo-
pie to be agitated. this is not time
for you to think. This is a time when
you ought to be perfectly quiet. Don't
wake up and don't look around, for
if you look around you are sure to see
something. That is what they mean"
IF my boy or my neighbor's boy. or
his brother, being of age to so to war
refuses or neglects to register, do they
keep quiet?''
IF your boy refuses or neglects or
refuses 10 register for war service do
these gentlemen keep quiet? Do they
say then that this is a time when we
ought to have no trouble? Oh! they will
raise hell to see that your boy goes to
war. And so. now gentlemen, when
these men likewise refuse, neglect or
forget to turn over these four billion
dollars year war profits we have

BREWERS AND FEDERAL
OFFICERS BOTH CLAIM
VICTORY I'm DECISION

New York, June o6.--Attorneys for
both the brewers and the federal gov
ernment claimed tonight to have gain
ed a victory through an opinion handed
down by the United States circuit court
of appeals modifying Judge Mayors pre-
liminary injunction against interference
with or prosecution for the production
and sale of beer containing not more
than 80 per cent alcoholic content.
The original order restrained Richard
J. McElligott, acting collector of internal
revenue, from interfering with the
manufacture or sale of 2.75 per cent
beer pending legal decision as TO
whether it was Intoxicating" 1t also
forbade United States Attorney Francis
J. Caffey from prosecuting the brewers
and retailers Of such beer. The ap-
pellate court decision strikes out the in
junction ''pendente lite against the
federal prosecutor, making 1t possible
for him to proceed as he sees fit, but
continues in force the injunction against
McElligott, regarding whom the court
makes this observation:
''The injunction against the acting

collector of internal revenue can do no
harm"
Emery R. Buckner of counsel for the
brewing interests. declared the appellate
court decision was a clever victory for
his clients and that the right to manu-
fscture and sell 2.T5 per cent beer after
July l was assured. The brewers were
ready to prove. he said. that beer of
that potency was misunderstanding" and
it was now up to the courts to decide
whether war time prohibition forbade
the sale of all beer or merely intoxicai-
ing beer.
Cornelius j. Smyth. assistant United
States district attorney, one of the
drafters of the governments brief in
the pending litigation, maintained the
appellate court decision gave the brew
ers less of an advantage than they
under the original injunction
The decision, he pointed cut, would not
exempt the brewers or retailers from
under the federal wartime
prohibition act, which provides years
or $1,000 fine or both il
the event of conviction.

Few of the rural districts have been

Indications are that the total vote on

WILL EXACT REPARAT1oN.

Paris, June 26.-The allied and asso-
ciated powers today sent the following
letter to the German peace delegation:
June o5. 1919.
'fMr. President-The terms of the ar
mistice signed by Germany on the elev-
enth of November, 1918, provided as
follows:
".Article %. The German surface
warships which shall be specified by
the allies and the United States shall
forthwith be disarmed and thereafter
interned in neutral ports, or failing them.
the allied ports designated by the allies
and the United States. They shall there
remain under supervision by the allies
and the United States, only care and
maintenance parties being left on
board
ION June q the German warships
which had been handed over to the allies
and associated powers. at anchor in the
roadstead at Scapa Flow with the Ger
man care and maintenance parties on
board as provided in the armistice. were
sunk by these parties under the orders
of the German admiral in command, ac-
cording to the information which has
been collected and transmitted by the
British admiralty. The German admiral
in command of these parties of the
German naval forces has alleged that
he acted in the belief that the armis-
tice expired on June q at midday and
consequently in his opinion the destruc-
ton in question was no violation of its
terms.
In law, Germany, by signing the
terms OF article %, set out above, en-
tered into an undertaking that the ships
handed over by her should remain in
the ports indicated by the allied and as
sociated powers and that care and main
tenance parties should be left on board
with such instructions and under such
orders as would ensure that the armis-
tice should be observed
''The sinking of these ships in
stead of their preservation as had
been provided for, and in breach of
the undertaking embodied in article
81 of the armistice, the destruction
constituted at once violation of the
armistice, the destruction of the
pledge handed over, and an act of
gross bad faith toward the allied
and associated powers.
The admiralty in command of the
care and maintenance parties belonging
TO the German naval forces has, while
recognizing that the act was a breach
OF the armistice. attempted to Justify il
by alleging his belief that the armistice
had come to an end.
This alleged justification is not we'll
founded, as under the communication
addressed to the German delegation by
the allied and associated powers on the
sixteenth of June, 1919. the armistice

Paris. June 26-(By the Associated
Press 1t is understood that if no of
ficial communication is received by
nightfall from Berlin relative to the
plans of the German government for
the signing of the peace treaty, some
thing in the nature Of an ultimatum will
be sent to Berlin by the peace con-
ference.
At noon the conference was in COM
plete ignorance as to Germany's plan.
Paul Dutasta, secretary OF the con-
ference, went to Versailles this morning
seeking information. He was informed
verbally by DR.. Haniel Won Haimhausen
that the German signatories. who will
probably be Herr Mueller, Herr Gies-
berts and Herr Leinert, might arrive by
Saturday, but he was unable to speak

HE FLEES HOLLAND

Paris, June 26. - Frederick
William Hohenzollern, the for
mer German crown prince, has
escaped from Holland and made
his way into Germany.
News of the escape Of the ex-
crown prince caused a consider
able stir in peace conference
circles. While it is not felt that
he is figure around which the
reactionaries and monarchists
would gather enthusiastically,
nevertheless his act is regarded
as an event Of considerable sig
nificance in view of other Ger
man recalcitrancy.
Hints have come from Germany within
the last few days that the military
caste there would not be averse to bring
ing about military situation within the
former empire that would embarrass the
allies in putting the peace treaty into
effect, and it seems not impossible that
the move made by the ex-crown prince
The former crown prince made his
way into Holland shortly after the sign
ing Of the armistice- -l2st~NOvember and
was interned there by the Dutch govern
ment, taking up his residence on the is
land Of Wieringen, in the Zuyder Zee
Two days before the armistice was
signed, decree issued by the German
imperial chancellor Prince Max Of Baden,
announcing decision or the former Ger
man emperor to abdicate, stated:
"The imperial chancellor will remain
in office until the questions connected
with the abdication OF the Kaiser, the
renounceing by the crown prince of the
throne of the German empire and Of
Prussia, and the setting up Of the re-
gency have been settled"
This generally was accepted as an Of
ficial announcement of the crown
princes intention to renounce his right
to the succession.
Later, however, the crown prince de-
MED any such intention in an interview
given to The Associated Press corre-
spondent December 3, 1913. At that
time the crown prince said
Il have not renounced ANYTHING and
7 have not signed any document what
ever"
However" he continued, SHOULD the
German government decide to form a
republic similar to the United States or
France, ] should be perfectly content
to return to Germany as a simple citizen
ready to do anything to assist my coun-
try"
Notwithstanding this categorical state
ment, the semi-official Wolff bureau of
Berlin three days later issued what was
said to be the exact text Of the crown
princes renuciation Of his rights to the
throne.
As regards The Associated Press in
tervieW mentioned, however, the cor
who obtained it holds an au-
tografed letter from the ex-crown prince
in which the latter states that in this
interview he was quoted correctly in
every particular.
