LANCER IS VERY
MUCH ALIVE FOR
. .SC0TCHED GHOST
Townley Press Says Attorney
General Is Dead, But Still
Raps Him Daily

Art and his "kept press are be-
coming somewhat hysterical. In one
breath "Art" declares that LANCER is
a traitor" "liar' and a fool" and
that he is politically dead-his in
fiuence and political prestige is but a.
memory, in the next, he declares that
he is a menace to the farmers pro
gram and rallies all of his forces to
the combat in North Dakota. One
would scarcely suppose that a. dis
credited fool-a political corpse
could be much of menace to any
thing and yet Langer's political ghost
appears to strike mortal fear into
Townley's heart.
His newspapers, with seven column
streamers, announce that LANCER is
dead but in the next issue they an
nounce that he is menace and,
trusting to their credulous readers,
they state expose after expose, which
resembles a gaity burlesque. LANCER
is a. "fool"-Langer is politically
dead" and yet they continue to rail
at his memory and devote their en-
ergies to fighting his political corpse.
Their latest stunt is perhaps the
crudest that they have pulled yet.
They announced with flaming head
lines and blistering adjectives that
LANCER had gone to st. Paul for a.
conference with r. C. Lille, Presi-
dent of the Merchants National Bank,
where he struck his colors, sold out
body and soul to Big Business and
brought the loot home in freigh
car.
Now they solemnly announce that
he complained long, loud and bitterly
to an utter stranger. Mr. Moore, a
private detective that Big Biz had not
come through with the 'long green"
and he sent the said Moore, anHtter
stranger whome he had never seen
before and about whom he knew moth
ing. to Nebraska, where Big Business
does not have lair, to get money.
1t is extremely difficult for one liar
to keep his records straight, but
when there are a multitude of liars
engaged on the same job, they be-
come fearfully tangled, and with the
poet, the readers of TOwnley's publi-
cations are wont to- exclaim:
"Oh, what tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive"

MAJOR FRAYNE BAKER
FEEDS MANY SOLDIERS

Writing from St. Nazaire, Julius B.
Wood in a copyrighted letter to the
St. Paul Pioneer Press and the Chi
cago Daily News tells what is being
done at that port for homeward bound
soldiers. Referring to the culinary
department, he says: "The men are
all billeted in permanent barracks
and are fed in hig kitchens, the capa-
city of the largest being $1,000 an
hour Getting food to the men and
getting enough candy to supply the
sales commissary to satisfy the sweet
tooths is task that keeps Major
Frayne Baker of Bismarck, N. D.
busy"

TX GERMAN INDEMNITY
(By Associated Press

Austria's attitude toward the peace
terms has not been officially made
known to the allies. Advices from Vi
emma, however, carry reports of Off
cial dissatisfaction with the provision
OF course of newspaper disapproba-
ton. There are indications that the
people, as whole, are somewhat less
legarthic.
Completion of the Austrian treaty,
several clauses of which were missing
on Monday, is not likely to occur this
week, although the peace conference
leaders are giving daily attention to
:,has matter. Thes MISSING 4claaasas it
is stated, are likely to be transmitted
to the Austrian representatives as
they become completed.
At Work on Notifications.
Notifications in the peace terms
with Germany seem to be approach
ing definite form according to advices
from Paris. These alterations, it is
said, are not planned primarily to
make the terms lighter for the Ger
mans; but to render them easier Of
execution.
IS Billion Indemnity.
Apparently there is a disposition on
the part of President Wilson, Premier
Lloyd George and Premier Clemenceau
to fix definite sum of approximately
$25, 600, 100000 as the amount Of in
demnity Germany will be called upon
to pay, and it seems probable the first
installment of about five billion dol
lars will not have to be paid within
two years as now stipulated but with
in four years. There seems, however,
to be a general agreement that Ger
many will not be permitted to enter
the league of nations at once. Pre-
mier Orlando is standing aloof from
these discussions as Italy's interest is
not so much in the German as in the
Austrian treaty. G.s
The establishment of the Rhenish
Republic lis not looked upon seriously
The establishment of the Rhenish
in American circles at the peace con-
ference, it is said. 1t is pointed out
that no prominent men in the Rhine
land are identified with the movement
and there is some doubt of the demand
for Republic. Dispatches from Ger
man sources declare that French auth
critics have taken prominent role
in the setting up of the new govern
ment. IT,
