Iowa Farmer Found
Dead in Field; Body
Mutiiated by Hogs

Storm Lake, Ia, June l5.-(Spec-
isD.-The body of Arthur Ander.
son was found in field on his farm
two miles southwest of Storm
Lake. The body was in a horribly
nlangled condition. as there were
hogs running in the field. With the
body were found a gunnysack, a
fork, and shotgun with one shell
exploded.
Anderson left home between 2:30
and 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and
started for the lake, to fish. While
at the lake he talked to Victor
Johnson, who was the last person
to see him. It was on the way
home that the tragedy happened.
The hardest part of the case, to
solve, is the fact of the exploded
SHE'LL. 1t is impossible to tell
whether there is a gunshot wound
on account of the mangled condi-
ton of the head. As no cause for
suicide can be found, it is believed
that the victim had a stroke of
heart failure, and that the gun was
accidently discharged when he fell.
It is one of the most puzzling cases
that the local coroner has ever had
to solve.
Anderson was respected farmer
OF this community. He leaves d
wife and small baby.

TO ALLOW HUNS
100000 ARMY
FOR THREE YEARS
This Is One of Peace Terms
Hitherto sedulously
Kept Secret.

Paris, June 15.-Germany is to be
allowed an army of 100000 men for
three years. This is one of the
changes in the peace terms which
has been sedulously kept secret.
The reason given for this dot
bling of the previous number of ef-
fectives is the impossibility of ad-
justing the armies of Austria, Po-
land, Czecho-Slovakia and other
new states proportionately to the
previously arranged 100000 men for
Germany.
"A general, reduction of ornaments
is to be negotiated Immediately.
Germany's admission to the league
of nations is fixed for "the near fu-
ture."
Her admission will enable Ger
many to bring up for discussion
her economic propositions. Germany
will be given four months to sub
NIT to the allied proposals dealing
with her total indebtedness through
reparaitons, and methods for the
payment thereof. She may propose
merchandise and labor. The allies
are to reply within two months.

Alcock Relates
His Story Of Trip
Across Atlantic

London, June 1s.-Describing
the experience of himself and
Lieutenant Brown, Captain Al
cock, in a message from Galway
to the Daily Mail, says:
I'VE had terrible journey.
The wonder is we are here at
all. We scarcely saw the sun or
moon or stars. For hours we
saw none of them. The fog was
very dense and at times We had
to descend within 800 feet Of the
sea.
For four hours our machine
was covered with sheet OF ice
caused by frozen sleet. At an
other time the fog was so dense
that my speed indicator did not
work and for few minutes it
was very alarming.

lieve, and did very steep spiral
We did some very comic stunts.

zon.
Winds Were Favorable.
THE winds were favorable all
the way, northwest and at times
southwest. We said in New
foundland that we would do the
trip in Is hours, but we never
thought we should. An hour and
half before we saw land we
had no certain idea where we
were, but we believed we were
at Galway or thereabouts.

west of Clifden was great. The

seen conditions. We did not suf-

cept when looking over the side;
then the sleet chewed bits out of
our faces. We drank coffee and
ale and ate sandwiches and
chocolate.
"Our fight has shown that the
Atlantic flight is practicable. but
I think it should be done not
with an airplane or seaplane, but
with flying boats.

was to see the machine at the end

the machine sank into it to the

Harry G. Hawker, the aviator
who recently made an unsuccess-
full attempt to cross the Atlantic
from Newfoundland, is credited
by the Central News as saying
with regard to Captain Alcock's S
achievement: +
1T was a magnificent and very
fine feat. / am very glad Captain
Alcock was able to make the
flight in real fashion. without
warships and all that sort of
thing. 1t is very gratifying from
that point, indeed" r

Europe Must Pay Debts \
She Owes to America,
Financial Experts Say

Paris, June l5.-Suggestions re-
ported recently to have been made
il: America that the United States
should not require the repayment of
the war advances made to Europe
run counter to the views of the
financial specialists on the American
peace mission.
"The financial branch of the
American commission" said one of
the specialists, believes that any
surrender of these advances would
be bad for Europe, as it would en-
courage reliance on American tax
payers to pay the debts of Europe,
whereas the regeneration Of Europe
depends largely on the roductive
ability and self-reliance of its own
peoples"
1t is stated in this connection that
figures gathered on the relative tax
alton resulting from the war show
that France and Italy increased
their taxation about E per cent,
Great Britain about 1,100 er cent,
and the United States about 1000
per cent. The American financial
advisers therefore maintain that the
repayment of the war advances is
not only an obligation. but also nat
urally falls on those who have borne
the smallest percentages of war tax
