Read This.

AS stated in the Villas County
News last week all discharge
papers for soldiers and sailors
will be recorded FREE by the
Register OF Deeds of Villas coun-
ty. Bring or send them in for
recording. Fire and water will
destroy them and they are very
easily lost.
The county board has made
a ruling that there shall be no
charge for recording the dis
charges from the Army or
Navy. Therefore the register
of deeds office will record free
of charge all such discharges.
All discharged soldiers and
sailors are urged to have these
recorded as soon as possible.

Telephone
Service Rates

No change has been made II the rates in force in
Eagle River during the past ten years.
They are too low-they were always too low.
You know that ten years ago your dollar would pur
chase much as ST so or So. 90 would today.
After careful accounting during the years 1917
1918, it may be shown that the exchange earnings
were not sufficient to pay any interest on over
100000 invested in the plant.
For comparison:
These rates have been in force for years
At Minocqua.. Residence ST so Business $3.50
Rhinelander... $50 $50
Crandon ......... $50 g $50
Eagle River...... 125 $50
Eagle River people have been getting telephone
exchange service at less than COST
New rates must be expected.

The Taney County republican. (Forsyth, Mo.) 1895-1992, 1919-03-20

Under the American proposal Eng
land would be unable to collect repra-
ton from Germany only to the amount
OF damage caused by her airplane and
Zeppelin raids in English territory, the
destruction OF the merchant shipping
and the like. The bills Of the United
States aud British colonies would be
for losses inflicted on them through
the submarine warfare on merchant
shipping. The chief creditors under
the American scheme would be
Belgium, Serbia and Roumania, the
countries which suffered the bulk Of
criminal damage,

How Shall Germany Pay1

Three theories have developed at
the Peace Conference, concerning
what the principle Of war reparation
should be and they are respectively
American, British and French.
The American theory is that repa
ration 10 be demanded from Germany
should cover only such damage as was
done by her in deliberate and criminal
destruction in violation Of the laws Of
war and OF nations. Under this head
ing would come such barbaric acts as
the ruthless destruction OF cathedrals,
unnecessary pillage Of farms and
houses, etc etc,
The British view is that, since in
civil law all damage must be paid by
the aggressor, Germany should be
compelled to pay, not only such costs
as America would exact but also all
the expenses contracted by the Allies
in their conduct OF the war including
the expenses involved in raising, equip
ping, transporting and maintaining &
Itheir armies.
The French view is that reparation
should include all that England de-
mands, but the French make the
stipulation that there should be a Sc
quence Of payment, that is, that Ger
many and Austria should pay first the
| bill demanded in the American scheme
| for violation OF international law, and
pay the other bills-the bills England
would delnand-later, as lhe state o
/ her finances would allow.
It is claimed that there is no greaI
difference between the French and
the American views when we take in
10 consideration the fact that Germany
may be unable to do more than pay
the bills she will owe on the first
couns--,hat is The American plan.

who this time will rule the world. NJ
one was iairer spoken man Napoleon
when he was plotting the destruction
OF the liberty OF France. Tyrants al
ways exha!e an aroma OF righteousness:
as they journey en- their way, theil
souls are burdened for long suffering
humanity. Judge such men not BY
their speech but by their actions. II
they are really sincere they will seek
10 serve US, not Try to make us serve
them. II they seek 10 be onr masters
smash them ere the hour is grown too
late and their power is too strong. l
remember vividly how in 1908 the
convention that met to nominate a
candidate Tor president on the Repub'
lican ticket was carried away with en-
thusiasm lor Theodore Roosevelt, how
it looked as though the nomination
would be forced upon him 10 spite OF
his emphatic statement that he would
not accept it. ! remember how when
the crisis was on his close personal
friend, Senator Lodge, told the conven
tion that in view OF the Presidents
known wish moi to run that no real friend
would longer embarass him him by
forcing the honor upon him. Notwith-
standing this a demonstration started
that looked as though there would be
stampede in spite OF all that could
be done and In the midst OF this dem.
ons,tation the chairman ordered the
roll call and ballnting began. Theo'
dore Roosevelt proved by his actions
that he was sincere, that his heart was
bent upon service to America, not on
becoming our master. Let US re-
member this.
