Belgium having been given satisfac-
ton as to the parts of the treaty which
didn't suit her at first, the only one Of
the allied and associated nations that
still held out against the pact was
China. The cabinet at Picking, 1t was
said. had instructed the Chinese dele
gates not to sign any treaty that trans
ferred to Japan the former German
rights in Shantung. Japan's victory in
the allied council has greatly stirred
China and there is danger of anti-for-
eign outbreaks there
Press comment on the treaty, which
indicates or forms public opinion, is
varied. The German papers, of course,
denounce many of the terms as brutal
and impossible of acceptance Those
OF France praise the pact rather faint
ly. In England some journals commend
the treaty highly and others condemn
1t. The American press generally looks
on the peace terms as satisfactory.

Marshal Foch persisted to the last in
his demand that France should be
guaranteed in some way against future
armed attack by Germany. 1t was re-
ported that President Wilson and Pre-
mier Lloyd George gave him measur-
able satisfaction by promising to ask
congress and parliament, respectively,
to authorize an open agreement that
the United States and Great Britain
would go instantly to the aid OF France
If she were attacked. However, If the
terms of the treaty as written are car
ried out, Germany will have very little
left with which to carry on military
enterprises. She couldn't get far with
an army Of 100000 men, a puny navy,
no submarines and no armed planes,
and with the Notifications of Helgo-
land and the Rhine valley demolished.

Young wheat plants spcelily wither

" The danger to the United States lies
in the possibility OF importation of the

erto there have been no considerable

fore these diseases have not been in
troduced. The danger from imported
seed, and also the possibility Of intro

commercial shipments from Australia,

consider quarantine action. 1t Is not
improbable, according to the depart
ment Of agriculture, that methods OF
treatment by exposing the grain to

ticable. Such treatment would render
the grain worthless for seed purposes,
but probably would not decrease its

change bank of Valley City, u state

Mr. Waters refers to these stories
as "false and misleading" but he does
not deny Il handsome profit may have
accrued to the league workers who
rendered the farmers Of Barnes county
