WOLF SHOWS FACE
IN MONTFORT BARNARD.

Did you ever have wolf poke his
dripping nozzle right under your nose
in your own dooryard? Well, that's
just what happened to Geo. Johns out
on the farm on Monday. Sufferin'

Good Trapping These Days.
Trappers in Montfort and vicinity
are reaping a harvest, and the catch
has been phenomenal during the two

Badger, Wingville, Dark Hollow and
Blue River, that offer opportunities to
the trapper of water animals, and our
lifted lands and bluff country make
an ideal range den for fox, skunk,
etc., the latter leading in point of
numbers OF the catch so far.

Sen. James H. Lewis Declared That the
American Government Could Not
Give Up One Without Laying
Itself Liable to the
Change.

New York, Jan. Ex-senator James
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois. speaking to-
day before the Lawyers club in support
of the proposal for league Of nations,
declared that the American government
in the peace settlement could not aban-
don single one of President Wilson's
IA principles without laying itself open
to the charge Of perfidy,
Germany, Senator Lewis said, would
have the right to refuse to abide by the
terms of the armstiee, the allies would
be justified in Withdrawing from the
peace table, and all small nations or as
piring peoples fighting with the United
States on the basis Of the presidents
proposals, would be excused before the
world in turning from America.
The peace was made by Germany and
her people on terms of the IA points pro-
the proposal Of a league of nations for
future peace" said Senator Lewis.
"These were adopted by the allies as
their only terms Of peace and all accept
ed as the basis by Italy the Balkans and
Turkey. II is impossible for the Unit
ed States to withdraw one of her terms
or postpone one or omit to press one
without giving Germany the right then
and there to refuse to abide by the
terms Of the armistice in any particular.
She could refuse to deliver her cannon
and arms as agreed. The people of Ger.
many would be justified in charging us
with fraud on them and turn against us
and support any force against our sol
diers. The allies would be justified in
accusing us Of trickery and withdraw
from the table.
Every little nation or aspiring people
fighting with us on the basis Of our pro-
posss made Jan. s, 1918, would be ex-
cused before the world in turning from
us and assailing US for perfidy to them,
then resenting by allying themselves
with any of the foes Of the United States
this on the ground that our contracts
and agreements were delusions and fraud
and our treaties of peace but scraps Of
paper We would be the periidious
traitors TO solemn compacts and the one
nation whose word would sink as low
as was the Prussian when her receptions
and lies brought her to destruction in
the Indignation of civilization.
"The very last and first of the cove
nants we made to Germany as basis Of
peace, was that all nations qualified as
civilized should league to prevent war in
all future. This was the one principal
on which the German people took our
terms of peace and withheld further
arms and armies to Germany. II was on
this basis as the guaranty of future
peace in Europe that Britain and France
accepted the terms Of the United States.
It is now a question of American honor.
It cannot be violated to accommodate
political party issues or to crafty racial
or national hatreds. Justice demands
that we hold fast to every covenant"
