This right of "free speech" the
Socialists are hammering away at
makes one weary. If this isn't a
country of free speech then where is
there one? Show us man who does
not say exactly what he pleases and
whenever he pleases. But there is
talk, and then again talk. 1t is the
other kind that the Socialists are
roaring their heads off about. Trea-
son to him is free speech. When
he is called down, then he roars
about the muzzle put on him by those
who are patriotic. Just why is 8
Socialist anyway.

Pel<in, March 14.-American ma
rines have raided the Japanese con-
cession at Tien Tsin, forcing their
way into the Japanese consulate and
assaulting the consul. according to
dispatches received here.
The trouble is said to have been
caused by the rough treatment given
American soldiers who became dis
orderly in the Japanese quarter of
the city. Japanese soldiers drove
out the Americans with fixed bayo-
nets, it is said. wounding two of
them quite seriously.
The next day 200 angry marines
who were off duty paraded through
the japanese concession. and it is
alleged they attacked every Japa-
nese encountered. When the ma
rines reached the consulate they
forcibly entered, it is reported. and
assaulted the consul, whose injuries
are understood to be serious.
The consular body is celebrating
on measures to be taken to restore
normal conditions. 1t is said that
feeling is running high in Tien Tsin.

Paris, March 1.-THE Supreme
Council of the Peace Conference has
virtually decided to include in the
preliminary treaty of peace a re-
quirement that Germany shall relin-
quish her leasehold of Tsing-tao and
all properties concessions on the
Shantung peninsula.
No attempt, it is understood, will
be made at present to render a de-
cision as to ultimate possession of
Germany's rights, which is the sub
ject of a controversy between the
japanese and Chinese delegations in
Paris.
The former holds that Japan ac-
quired the leasehold by right of con-
quest over the German forces there,
although she is willing to permit the
ultimate status of the Shantung
peninsula to be determined by the
Peace Conference. China contends
the lease was automatically can
celed by the expulsion of the Ger
mans, who originally acquired it by
force, and that the property reverts
to China.
1t is expected that the final ad-
justment will be made in the def
mite peace treaty or by the League
of Nations, unless, in the meantime,
the principals 10 tine controversy

ment.

Judge McCarrell's Farm,
Untitled For Five Years,
Worth Less Than 5000

Assessors who were present yes
terday at the session of the County
Commissioners at Halifax to receive
appeals and revise valuations of
properties in that district. declared
that the farm owned by Judge s. J.
NJ. McCarrell, consisting of a tract
of 81 acres, assessed at $500 is not
even worth that figure, according to
an official who was present at the
meeting.
County officials who were at the
session said assessors told them the
farm to which Judge McCarrell
holds title, has not been titled for at
least five years, and that some of the
buildings are in such condition that
they would have to be entirely re-
constructed or replaced.
One of the assessors declared he
would not be willing to pay anything
for the tract in its present state.
According to n statement published
this morning, farms of similar size
in the vicinity in Wayne township
are valued as high as $4,000. 1t was
pointed out that these tracts are
being used constantly and that the
buildings on them are in the best of
condition.
Another farm, about the same size
of 101 acres and assessed
at S1.S00. was sold by the sheriff yes-
terday for s1.050. Commissioners C.
c. Cumbler and Henry NJ. Slime this
morning authorized lowering the
valuation to $1,000.
To-day the commissioners revised
some of the property valuations in
the Twelfth and Thirteenth wards.
Tomorrow they expect to confer
again with T. Ellsworth Davies, min
ing engineer, on coal land assess
ments. and on Monday they will
meet at Dauphin to hear appeals.

Paris, March 14.-Brigadier GEN
eral George II. Harries. commander
of the American military force at
Berlin, has been here several days
to report to the Supreme War Coun-
ell on the military and economic
situation throughout Germany. He
has given a dramatic recital of events
in Berlin during the past three
months. eliminating in the serious
street fighting of the last fortnight.
When the American party left
Berlin. the government forces un-
der Gustave Noske. the German war
minister. had the upper hand and,
in General Harries' opinion, the gov
ernment will control the situation,
particular if food is sent to aid in
holding back the Bolshevik menace
from the eastern border. -
The American forces in Germany
consist OF eighty officers and 500
men. a considerable part of the con-
ungent being stationed at twenty
camps at various places in Germany,
where 100000 Russian prisoners are
being cared for by the Americans.
The headquarters in Berlin are on
the second floor of the hotel Adlon.
in the heart of the city. where much
lighting has been going on. During
the early stages of the lighting. Cen
eral Harries had a narrow escape.
lie was standing in a window of the
American headquarters. watching a
clash between opposing factions.
when sniper's bullet grazed his
breast and buried itself in a window
casing by his side.

stores closed; vet the public. ac-
cordinG to General Harries. shows
little evidence of panic. The streets
have been crowded with people, in
Guiding women and children, but
the military forces have kept the
crowds constantly moving. The rat
tie of rifles and machine guns echoes
throughout the city both day and
night, but the Spartacan bands have
been gradually driven back and have
lost control of strategic centers.
Thousands of Russian prisoners
General Harries says. are clamor-
ing to return home. but this
would mean the sending of 100000
Russians into the hands of the Boil
Sheriki. The latter are threatening
the Polish front and have a power
tul organization at Wilma. with un-
limited funds for propaganda work,
which is under direction of Adolph
J Joffe, former Bolshevik am bassador
at Berlin.
1t is believed that a strong mill
tary zone in Poland. between Russia
and Germany, together with food
relief, offers the surest means of
holding back the Bolshevik advance
Under American care, the Russian
prisoners are in reasonably good
condition with adequate food and
little sickness. Steps will probably
be taken to return them to Russia
by way of the Black Sea or by other
routes SO as to avoid forcing them
into the BolShevik ranks.
