have been made in the peace terms
for meeting all the contingencies
which German crookedness and dis
regard for her obligations might Gre
ate. For once, the German nation is
completely humbled, domin~t ted and
placed at the mercy of those who
have defeated its aggressions.
German statesmen may rant about
what they will do and what they will
not do, but in the end they will do
just as their conquerors dictate They
will comply with the penalties i'm
posed upon them just as they COM
piled with the terms of the armistice
and just as they accepted the peace
to make them do so. 1t will require
an army to compel obedience, but as
the expense Of the army must be
paid by Germany, it will be a bur-
den on that nation only. 1t will pro.
vide employment for a large number
of men who might, during the next
few years, overload labor and cause
industrial unrest. There will be no
fighting. The army of occupation
will be police force sufficiently
strong to impose its authority with
out giving resistance, even if Ger
many had anything with which to
resist. Germany will yield to the in
evtable in the future just as she has
iE accepting the peace terms.

A FATAL ACCIDENT

The following account of the drown
ing of Silas Worden, a former resi-
dent of Brookings, is taken from the
Bruce Herald:
THE most disastrous thing that
happened in this vicinity caused by
high water was the drowning of Silas
Worden, age 20, son of W H. Worden
who lives about four miles north of
Bruce This terrible accident happen
ed Monday at about o'clock when
he undertook to ride a horse across a
grade east of their home, which was
covered with water where his horse
stepped into a deep hole throwing the
young man off, which resulted in his
drowning in a short time. A search
ing party was soon formed they were
unable to recover the body until 1870
o'clock p M Tuesday close to the
place where the accident happened.
Much sympathy is extended to Mr..
Worden in the loss of his only son.
His wife died very suddenly only a
few months ago"

ENFORCING THE TERMS

Sioux City Journal-Germany is
signing the peace terms under duress.
This fact will be used by the German
government later to justify its re-
fusal TO comply with the conditions.
Germany is signing the peace as the
best means of getting out of a dilem-
ma. She intends to avoid her obli-
cations if it is possible to do so. The
peace commission has safeguarded
these possibilities by providing the
means by which the conditions can
be enforced There is not q penalty
in the entire treaty which the allied
nations may not take by force II Ger
many refuses to meet it voluntarily
Germany is required TO make res
titution to Belgium and France OF
horses, cattle and swine stolen by
the German armies in those countries.
If Germany does not deliver the spect
fed number within the allotted time,
the army of occupation my confiscate
the animals from German citizens and
deliver them to the nations entitled
thereto. The German government
may then settle with its citizens for
the loss of their property or decline
to do so as it chooses. That is do
nestle affair in which the allies are
not interested.
If Germany attempts to evade pay
ment of the financial terms, the al
lies, backed by the army of occupa'
ton, may take possession OF the
sources of German revenue and ad'
minister and collect the same, pay
ing to Germany the percentages 10
which she is entitled under the pro-
visions of the treaty, after deducting
from Germany's share the cost OF
administration and collection, ana
applying the percentage belonging to
| the allies to the German indebted
ness. Germany not only would nave
TO contribute the portion OK revenue
she agreed to contribute by the urea
tv. but would be compelled to pay
the cost OF handling the collection
by the allies.
Should the German government at
tempt to rehabilitate its milltary
forces by the manufactures OF war
material beyond the quantity allowed
by the treaty, the allied armies would
demolish the plants engaged in such
work and confiscate the material on
hand. If an attempt should be made
to increase the German army be-
yond the 100000 men permitted by
the treaty, the army OF occupation
would arrest the officials of the gov
ernment for violation of the terms
and they would be held either as
prisoners under military authority
or would be tried and punished oy
the allied authorities. Thus every
attempt to evade the terms or to re-
fuse to meet the obligations would
be met with the enforcement power
of the conquerors. Ger1aar. Will be

a general intention to obey the law

ports that drastic enforcement of

Prosperity brings its problems. Just
now three large crews of men are at
work on our street improvement
projects and il is very difficult TO find
living accommodations for the men
who have been brought in from out
side towns OF course, ii Is a tenn
porary condition and no one would
be justified in putting up rooming
houses sufficient to supply the demand
for the same at this time, but if the
city is going 10 continue to grow, as
we are anticipating, we shall need
more accommodation than we have
at present. Once the pavement
gets started in a growing town
il is going to continue until nearly all
the principal streets and avenues OF
the city are paved. During the work
ing season of each year for several
years we shall have the same prob
lens to meet and it behooves us to
be preparing for such contingencies.
If the business men of Brookings ex-
pect to derive a benefit from this in
creased activity in trade prospects it
is up TO them to assist the contractors
in finding accommodations for their
men. 1t is time to be looking ahead
a little.
