Austria's Turn to Learn Terms.
Now it is the turn of the Austrians
to learn from the Allied governments
what is to be the cost to the former
empire of it's association with Ger
many and her allies in the war.
The Austrian peace delegates have
arrived at st. German, near Paris,
where they are to await the summons
of the peace congress to appear be-
fore it.
Unlike the receptions given the Ger
mans on reaching Versailles, that &C
corded the, Austrians had some ele-
,ments of friendly courtesy on the
part Of the French Representatives,
who met the visitors. On the face of
the leader of the delegation, Count
Benner, there was a pleasant smile
when he alighted from the train, in
contrast with the stern set faces of
all Of the Germans when they arrived
at Versailles.

The 151st Artillery arrived in the
twin cities Thursday Of last week. In
st. Paul they were given magnificent
welcome, and after their reception and
luncheon in the capitol city they were
taken to Minneapolis, where they were
again received with acclaim. They
seemed to be delighted to return to

more than delighted to welcome them.
This regiment has made brilliant rec

RUSSIANS HOPE TO FORM PACT

BELIEVE LEAGUE Will FAIL
Reds Express the Opinion That Com.

and Political Combine.

Bor11n, May l6.-Ine Russian Boil
sheviki are planning to seek COM
merctal alliance with the United
States which would also include Ger
many and Scandinavia, according to-
NJ. Makowski, secret agent Of the
Lenine government In Berlin.
Should the league Of nations fail,
as the Bolsheylki believe it will, Ma
kowski expressed the belief that such
a commercial pact might grow into a
military and political alliance.
The Bolsheviki according to Ma
kowski, employs Premier Lenines
phrase in describing the league Of ma
lions as a league Of capitalists"
President Wilson and his idea Of
the league are heartily supported by
Lenine and the other Bolshevik lead
ers, but they think both Wilson and
his plan have fallen victim to capital,
with; which the Bolsheviki will make
no compromise.
MakoWski, who is better known by
his pen name, c.. p. Kasackoff, has
been in Berlin several weeks. He is
one of Lenine's favorite pupils and
worked all through the Russian revo-
luton as one Of the premier's lieu
tenants. Now he lis entrusted with
what the Russians consider their most
important foreign post, Berlin. Ma,
kowski says his mission is not so
secret as it would appear. He says
the German Office is looking at him,
from behind hand which it will pull
down at the proper time.

IT'S. A FAIR WARNING.

Ed1TulOuC OeuIlut1s Livery Mo1CuduC
in Fairmont should acquaint himself
with Section 1919 of the new revenue
law. It reads as follows:
"That whoever in connection with
the sale or lease, or offer for sale or
lease, Of any article, for the purpose
Of making such sale or lease, makes any
statement, written or oral (1) intended
or calculated to lead any person to be-
lieve that any part of the price at
which said articlefis sold or leased, or
offered for sale or lease, consists Of a
tax imposed under the authority Of the
United States, or (2) ascribing parti-
,cular part Of such price to tax impos-
ed under the authority Of the United
States, knowing such statement is false,
or that the tax is not so great as the
portion of such price ascribed to such
tax, shall be guilty Of misdemeanor
and upon conviction thereof shall be
punished by fine Of not more than
$1,000, or by imprisonment not exceed
ing one year, or both.'
You will note by the above that if
any dealer increases the price Of piece
of merchandise more than the amount
Of the tax and tells the buyer that the
war tax has made it imperative, he is
guilty of criminal offense. w..
