Quarter Per. Cent Payable
In Four Years.

,.. The, Grand. Forks county allotment
in the Victory Liberty Loan is ST.
$4,000 according to a wire received

reserved the privilege Of redeeming
the notes in three years. The amount
of the loan required of the Ninth dis
trict is $157,50O,000.
This quota is $4,000 less than the
apportionment to this county for the
Fourth Liberty Loan which was over
subscribed by more than $150,000.
Mr.. Rogers stated in the telegram:
1.-THE amount apportioned to your
county is very moderate and we feel
very confident you will take your al
lotment and sell it without trouble or
too great delay. The selling campaign
starts April 81 and closes May 10.''

RAILROAD CASE
Authority of Railroad Direc.
tor in Raising State Rates
Questioned.

Washington. April 14.-The su-
preme court was asked in a motion
filed today by the government to ex-
pedite consideration Of the appeals
brought by the railroad adniinistra-
tion from North Dakota supreme
court opinions restraining Director
General Hines from increasing freight
and passenger rates in that state un-
der an order placed into effect last
June. The motion was concurred in
by the North Dakota authorities.
The case" said the governments
brief, presents the question. Of the
authority of the director general to
increase or to interfere with rates,
fares or charges established by. q
state law or by the order Of state
regulating tribunal. The supreme
court Of North Dakota has decided
against the authority claimed. Similar
suits involving the same question are
now pending in the courts Of South
Dakota. Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota
and Washington and other suits of
like nature are threatened in various
other states Of the union.
Infinite confusion and uncertainy
must attend the operation Of the rail-
roads by the government as this Ques-
tion remains unsettled and the stats
courts assert the right to enjoin the
collection by the director general of
rates prescribed by him."

No Meeting Today.

Paris. April IA The council of
four did not meet this morning. In
stead. President Wilson conferred
with Premier Orlando and other Ital-
ian leaders on the Adriatic problem.
Premier Orlando recently suggested
to the president the advisa bility OF
of Fiume and Italy's claims in the
eastern Adriatic. President Wilson,
in concurring with this suggestion,
promised to give the matter his per-
sonal study. The conference today
probably was the outcome of this
suggestion.
The conference commission on ter
ritorial questions has settled the prob
lem of the Banat district, south of
and Rumanians claims were Involved,
according. to the Petit Parisien. The
newspaper does not give the terms
Of. the solution reached,;Sbflt says that
the decision respected the rights Of
each nation.[
Germany under the peace treaty
must pay $4,000, 100000 in cash, or
the equivalent. in commodities, before
May 1. 1921. She must also issue i'm
governments $4,000, ,0OO. 900 of inter-
est-bearing bonds. The interest on
the bonds until 1926 will be either 2
or per cent, and after that date will
be 5 per cent, according to the present
plan.
The bonds will be payable in in
stallments during period of Is years.
They probably will be kept in the con-
troll Of a central commission bf the
allied and associated governments SO
that they shall not be marketed in
quantities sufficient to break the
price.
Germany also must obligate herself
to pay other amounts for damage
done, appropriate to her means, to be
determined by mixed commission
of representatives of the allied and
associated governments, and of Ger

Japanese And French Re-
quests Not Inserted But
Reservations Have Been
Made Whereby They May
Be Considered At The
Plenary Session For Final
Action.

Paris. April 1.-THE status Of the
amendments to the league Of nations
covenant has been definitely estab-
lished so far as the league Of nations
commissions is concerned, with the
American amendment concerning the
Monroe doctrine the only one to be
given a place in the covenant by the
commission. The French and Japan
ese however. have both made reser-
vations which entitle them to renew
ference, the questions involved in
these amendments. so that the final
decision is still open.
AS to the affairs Of the peace con-
ference as whole, they are shaping
themselves now with the league of
nations question and nearly all the
main points in the peace treaty vir-
tual1y disposed of so that the date
when the enemy delegates shall be
summoned to Versailles has been ten
tatively set.

gress as it will be called, instead Of

ing to the present understanding, oc-
cur between April 26 and May 5 and
it is considered not improbable that
a definite date may be announced by
Premier Lloyd George when he speaks
before the British house Of commons
Wednesday.
Indications are that the Germans
will be given opportunity to discuss
the peace terms before the congress.
but that no extended discussion will
be permitted, two weeks being sug-
gested as the outside limit for the
sessions to be held at Versailles These
sessions, it Is expected now, will be
attended by President Wilson, who is
said by those close to him to feel that
the progress made toward concluding
the peace, is such that he will be able
to remain for the Versailles meeting.
