INDEMNITY QUESTION

Berlin, JAN 2.-The question of in
IDENTITIES has been settled between
Germany and the United States and
the allies, and German delegates
signed the armistice on condition that
there should be restrictions to indern-

Ell, speaking here today.
War damages and war costs, he
said, must be borne by each nation
itself unless expressly mentioned in
the notes which were exchanged, Ger
many being obliged to indemnify dis

Premier Clemenceau made it plain
that it was his intention to support
Great Britain in the peace negotia-
lions on the question of the freedom
of the seas, and he declared that his
attitude in this matter was approved
by President Wilson.
The premier told the chamber that
now was the time to change pilots,
but the deputies gave him a vote Of
confidence by $50 to 1874. Premier
Clemenceau explained the peace stu
alton as it concerned France, Great
Britain and the United States, and
his explanations appeared to satisfy
all except the unified Socialists VINO
repeatedly interrupted him in man
ner which President Deschanel char
acterized as Indecent"
Premier Clemenceau said that his
conversation with President Wilson
had been profitable although, he
AIDED, "I should not be telling the
truth if I said I had always been in
agreement with him on all all points"
In summing up his argument for
full confidence and the exercise of /
patience by the chamber, the premier
declared:
"There will be claims to be set

be given up. If I mounted the ros-
trum to elaborate the subject, |

was not opposed to a league of ma

be organized at about the time the

POPLAR FARMERS ARE
AGAINST CREAMERY DEAL

1t is evident from information
County Agent E. W. Anderson has IN
his possession that farmers in what
might becalled the Poplar district are
not in favor of establishing cream
cry at this time. Some time ago Mr..
William Maloney,f of this city asked
not the farmers in this territory would
support creamery. Mr.. Maloney's
plan was to organize stock company
with both farmers and business men
as shareholders. To gather this data
Mr.. Anderson sent out 400 circular
letter to farmers and business men
with the request that they answer
certain important questions. There
was very little response to the letters
for out of the 400 letters sent out only
90 replies were received and of this
number there were but five indiviG1-
ais who would be interested to be
extent of taking stock, says the Pop
lar Standard.
Mr.. Anderson made a survey OF the
proposition and with letter sent the
entire data to Mr. Maloney.
The survey follows:

II is evident that there is a decided
lack cf interest by farmers, dairyn1cn
and citizens in the creamery industry
in Sheridan County in the vicinity OF
poplar. The letter to Mr.. Maloncy
which is self explanatory reads rs
follows:
Mr.. VIM. Maloney,
Poplar, Montana.
Dear Mr.. Maloney:-
In regard to the creamery for Pop-
lar. I must state that 400 circular
letters of inquiry were mailed out on
tbis side of the Missouri. Enclosed
herewith you will find a report on this
survey. It appears that the business
men. farmers, and dairymen Of the
vicinity are not interested in a
creamery. I thought that several of
tbe business men to whom we sent
ouestionnaires would at least offer TO
take stock in a creamery.
am enclosing herewith letter on
creamery promoters. | am asking
Mr. A. D. Anderson, County Agent,
Sidney. Mont, to give you a report
on his investigation.
Thanking you for your interest, 1

Ratio of millionaires1-50 of 1c5
In view of the rampant war pro-
fiteering of the past year, the num-
Der of our millionaires now can hard
ly be less than 10000 and their share
of our wealth at least a third if not
more. Also the millionaires hold vast
amounts of property for speculation,
such as land, forests and mines not
adequately covered by income tax
statements.
This prosperous condition of the
millionaire crop is eloquent proof, it
is sufficient proof, for the common
man that his interests are being
grossly disregarded by his representa-
tives in public office.

Sees Plumb Plan as
Rallying Point For the
Naturalization of Industry
BY associated Press.

Washington, Sept. 12.-The Plumb
plan for tri-partite control of the
railroads under government owner
ship must be buried beyond all
hope" IL it is not to be made raj
lying point" for the naturalization
of all industry Edgar ]. Rich, trans
portation counsel for the Associated
Industries of Massachusetts,, declared
to-day before the House Interstate
Commerce Committee considering
legislation for final disposition of the
railroads.
Mr.. Rich. who also spoke for the
Manufacturers Associations of %
states and the Massachusetts Cham
Der of Commerce. said the Plumb
plan, like Bolshevism was a 'perver-
sion" of the principle of socialism in
that it would benefit only one class
and deny the socialistic theory of the
general public good" The railroads
under the plan, he said, would be OPP
Grated for the benefit of the work
ers," while the public would assume
all risk of loss.
The greatest defect of the plan, he
declared, is that the two thirds rep
resentation given the workers and
railroad officers on the proposed wage
fixing board. would enable the work.
ers to dominate" the board and fix
their own wages regardless of reve-
nLcs, with the public to stand any
resultant losses.
The author of the plan" said Mr..
Rich, claims there would be an in
centive for efficient operation because
every worker would be entitled to
share in the surplus. But after the
employees had helped themselves to
what wages they wanted, does any
one believe there would be any sur
plus? Why should the employees care
TO accumulate a surplus. one half of
which they can have. when they can
get the whole and more by adjusting
their own wages"
