Usami admitted that Koreans do not

HUN COMMANDER
TELLS OF LA ST
DAYS OF CROWN
Declares Officers Were Divided
? in Opinion as to Abdica-
tiOn of Emperor
KAISER BUT HALF WILLING
War Lord Would Have Retained
kingship of Prussia and
Command of Army

Berlin Saturday., April 5.-While
admitting there was difference of
opinion among German generals as 70
the practicability of fighting to main
tain the imperial regime in November,
Count Schulemburg, commander Of q
guard regiment, maintains in an arti-
Gle on the abdication of Emperor Will
helm, published in the Freiheit, that
there were enough loyal troops to
have marched on AK la'Chapelle and
Cologne and put down the revolution.
The count says that Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg and General Groener,
Prussian war minister, would not as
sumo responsibility for such action,
claiming things had gone too far and
that only the abdication of Emperor
Wilhelm would save the situation. The
emperor, he said, was emphatic in his
declaration that he did not want a
civil war, and that he would not call
out the troops to suppress the insur-
rection.
Abdication Was Hastened
Acting on Count Schulenberg's ad-
vice, the emperor agreed to abdicate
as emperor of Germany but not as
king of Prussia. In the meantime
there came rumors from Berlin of the
imminence of civil war, and street
fighting actually was begun. Finally
the imperial chancellor wired that civil
war might be declared at any time,
if the abdication of the emperor was
not announced at once.
Oath Only an Idea
A hurried conference was held be-
tween the emperor, the crown prince
and the principal generals. Count
Schulenberg says he stated: @
"No soldier would break his oath to
the colors."
".rhe oath to the colors and the SUI
preme war lord is only an idea,"a re-
piled General Groener. h,
AT this time, Admiral Won Hintze
entered with a menacing message
from Berlin and rendered his resigna-
ton.
wilhelm then rendered his abdica-
ton as emperor Of Germany, but. de-,
clared he would remain as king of
Prussia and war lord Of the army, In

announced the complete abdication Of

LABOR BUREAU
NAMES BROWN AS
| rs SECRETARY
Another Townley Newspaper
Man Lands on State Pay
roll at Fair Salary
THREE GOOD JOBS GONE
Big Chief Unable5jto Find Men in
League Ranks in State
for Best Berths
THREE GOOD JOBS GONE

John B. Brown, former secretary of
the. state council of defense and before
that farm labor expert for North Da-
kota, has connected with the state
payroll once more in the capacity of
secretary of the workmen's compensa-
ton bureau, at salary Of $4,000 per
annum. Mr.. Browns appointment was
made at the initial meeting of the bu-
reau Saturday, when the members
completed their preliminary organiza-
ton.
Secretary Brown comes from Wis
consin. He has been in North Dakota
about two years and three weeks, and
two years of that time he has been a
public appointee, by grace of the
league. With his appointment to the
secretaryship of the workmen's COM
pensation bureau, three Of the best
appointive jobs at the disposal Of Mr..
Townley have been awarded to the
later's imported newspaper men.
There was no one in North Dakota
big enough to handle the position of
secretary of the industrial commits
sion, so Mr.. Townley sent over Oliver
S. Morris, who had been editing his
Nenpartisan Leader st st. Paul. Mr.
Morris is drawing $780,. The league
is paying the manager of the great
Bank of North Dakota but $400 more.
Walter W. Liggett, who has been
in the state only a few months, has
been promised the immigration COM
missionership, also at $4,000. There
was no one in the league ranks in
North Dakota capable Of handlinr this
work, so again Mr.. Townley calls on
a St. Paul newspaper man. ~ -
Johnny Brown, because he has been
in the state two years and three
weeks, naturally could not expect as
much consideration as these others,
say followers of the Townley system,
so his salary is $1100 per annum less
than that which Morris is drawing and
Liggett will draw
There is no room at the capitol for
the workmen's compensation bureau,
so Secretary Brown is looking for
quarters down town. Anyone who
has apartments available for the use
of the bureau can assist in getting
things organized by communicating
with Mr.. Brown. 1t is believed, mas
much as the bureau will deal person
ally with many applicants for COM
pensation, that the work can better be
handled down town in offices more
accessible than those at the capitol.

Valley City, N. D., April karl r.

large audiences here on Saturday, dis
cussing the graft bills enacted into
laws at the last session OF the North
Dakota legislature and signed by Gov.
ernor Frazier The fighting league
state officials struck straight from
the shoulder, spared no one, and was
roundly applauded In the afternoon
he spoke to a gathering Of township
assessors, and in the evening he ad-
dressed mixed audience composed
largely of league farmers who drank
in every word and expressed their ap-
proval through frequent applause. In
part he said:
"As an American citizen and tax
payer of this state, l contend that I
have perfect right to object to such
laws as the printing and educational
laws to be written or our statute
books, and | believe that I am acting
as a good citizen when combat these
laws which if allowed t. stand, will
hang onto the people of this state
two of the most un-American and -un,
democratic laws ever enacted in these
whole United States"
Several of us state officials have
been branded towards, fools and
traitors, by leaders of the Nonpartisan
league, because we oppose some of the
laws enacted during the last session
of the legislature and it is now up to
the people of this state to decide who
the real towards. fools and traitors
really are. There is Bill Langer, who
has lived in this state his whole life;
Simon Nagel and Senator Mees of
Morton county, State Treasurer Obert
Olson, Thomas Hall and myself We
have all lived in North Dakota the
greater part of our life, the people
know who we are. they know that we
have helped build up the country and
are taxpayers of this state, are they
going to believe those agitators who
have lived in this state but a short
time and pay no taxes whatsoever,
that we all are towards, fools and
traitors?'
Last fall farmer Brown and mer.
chant Jones were comparing their tax
receipts and held side by side these
tax receipts compared something like
this:
