PREDICTS GERMANY
WILL NOT PAY BIG
WAR 1NDEMNITIES
Teuton Diplomat Thinks They
Will Be Annuled or
Reduced.

Buenos Aires, Aug. 22.-Baron Won
Dem Bussche Haddenhausen, former
German minister to Argentina, in an
interview published by the Buenos
Aires Herald, a newspaper printed
in English says that the indemnities
provided for in the peace treaty will
never be collected because they are so
ridiculous and high that the league
of nations will eventually annul or re-
duce them. He declares that it is
only matter of time until Germany
will regain cher old place of supre-
macy.
The baron characterizes the peace
treaty as "monstrosity and imposi-
ton without precedent in history"
He asserts that Brazil is angling for
German immigration and that the
Argentine government "may offer
Inducements.
Germany has the greater part of
her territory and most of her mines"
the baron continues, "and it will
make no difference even if upper Sill
esia is given to the Poles. because the
Silesian mines are owned principally
by Germans.
League Problem.
"The effectiveness of the league of
nations depends entirely on how it is
handled, but as it stands today. it
seems to be solely an entente instru-
ment for keeping Germany down.
The plea of Secretary of War Baker
for bigger army is directly opposed
to the leagues principles against the
increasing of ornaments.
"Great Britain's separate treaty
with Persia without notifying her
allies indicates distrust of her allies
which with the desire of the United
States for bigger army, brings out
the distrust now existing among the
allies. The Scapa Flow incident is
approved by every German as bit
Of work we'll done.
"The controversy in the United
States senate must not be taken scr
iously. 1t is only party agitation to
discredit President Wilson. I know
Senator Lodge well. He is one Of
the most bitter anti-Germans in the
United States and so would have 10
interest in fighting for cause which:
might result in advantage for Ger
many"

On "Murder Farm

Maple Hills, Kans., Aug. o.
Numerous pieces of small bone inn
bedded in a thick layer of lime were
found late today by investigators on
ground back of livery stable form
erly conducted by Rfus King, who is
being held on charges of murder in
connection with the mysterious disap-
pearance of three persons here several
years ago. :.
Three skeletons, partly identified,
the authorities assert, as those of
the missing persons, have been found
on the King premises.
About two dozen pieces of bone
were found today, many of them bad
ly eaten away, and officials announ-
ced that it had not been possible to
ascertain whether they were human
bones, but owing to the fact that the
place where they were found was in
the form of long trench, the pieces
were preserved for further examina-
ton.

ORPHEO THEATRE.

Tom Mix, the intrepid cowboy ac-
tor, recently took the most dangerous
horseback ride of his adventurous
coreer. He was riding down hill in
the mountains back of Hollywood
Cal, and missed the narrow trail
Suddenly he found himself going
headlong toward a precipice. There
seemed to be no way of stopping his
horse.
u thought I was gone" said Mix
afterward. 81 was prepared to fall
and get clear of my horse; but in
some way that doggone animal found
a crooked little turn around that
drop and landed me at the bottom
of that hill before I had finished
wondering what would happen. AS
a matter of fact, don't yet know
how the horse took the turn and saw
ed us BOTH"
He patted Tony on the head as he
spoe anr remarked sincerely, "You
are some horse"
And the horse looked as if he I'M
derstood every word of it.
This spectacular horseback ride is
shown in Fighting for Cold" the
William Fox production, which is
now showing at the Orpheo theatre.
Today is the last chance to see the
Southern Beauties at the Orphee
