SUCKER
HUMbLES BANKER

The tendency of some business men
of the opposition to bulldOze League
farmers received a severe setback in
an affair that arose between a farmer
and a banker at Mayville, N. D., re-
Gently.
The farmer had joined the League
and as a result his check for SIG found
it's way to the bank he ~patronized.
The next time he showed up at this
bank he faced a disguised and angry
banker, who said, sneeringly:
Il see you are one of these SIG
suckers"
"What is my account here" de-
manded the farmer.
The banker figured it up. 1t was a
little over $4,000. The farmer made
out a draft for the full amount.
When he presented it, the banker
was breathless with amazement.
Il haven't got it," he gasped.
"You will have to dig it up" said
the farmer. Il think I know enough
to run my own business. At least. I
don't have to be told how by you.
Hereafter I will %patronize people who
know enough to treat me, with re-
spect."
The banker had to borrow the
money from other banks in Mayville.
The farmer took his money to 4
neighboring town.
The organizer who told this story
said, IF the farmers only realized
their power and demanded respect,
they would certainly get it."

WILSON RUSSIAN POLICY
UNLAWF I'll, SAYS B0RAH

Charging that the maintenance of
American troops in Siberia is an un-
lawful usurpation of power by the
president, that the blockade Of Russia
by the United States and the allies is
more cruel than the one recently end
ed against Germany and that Ameri-
can troops are being driven insane
by conditions in the army camps in
Siberia, Senator BOrah, in q speech
before the senate last week demanded
the immediate withdrawal of the
United States troops and the lifting
Of the blockade.
The conditions that the American
troops are subjected to-, he said, are
so bad that many of them are In q
state bordering on insanity. He read
a letter that a woman constituent Of
his had received from her son in
Siberia, in which he described intol-
cradle conditions the soldiers there
were compelled to live under.
The senator then charged that Will
son had sent American troops to help
the Kolchak clique, not through his
own desire, but under the influence

ments. He predicted that the first
act Of the League of Nations would
be to intervene in Russia with the
object Of ov%erthrowing the soviet
regime.
In that event, he prophesied that
the United States would have at least
100000 soldiers fighting for Kolchak

It was the early springtime, and my
history tells me the year was 1882,
although now that seems so far away /
almost hesitate to write the date. 1t
appears surprising that through the
haze Of all those intervening years
intensely active q with mel
should now be able to recall so clearly
my youth, and depict in memory each
minor detail. Yet, as you read on. and
realize yourself the stirring events re-
Sulting from that idle moment, you
may be able to comprehend the deep
impression left upon my mind, which
no cycle Of time could aver erase.
| was barely twenty then, a strong,
almost headstrong boy, and the far
wilderness was still very new to mt.
although for two years past | had held
army commission and been assigned to
duty in frontier forts. Yet never pre-
yiously had | been stationed at quite
SO isolated an outpost of civilization
as vas this combination of rock and
log defense erected at the southern
extremity Of Rock Island, fairly ma
rooned amid the sweep of the great
river. with Indian-haunted land
stretching for leagues on every side.
A mere handfal of troops was quar-
tered there, technically two companies
of infantry, yet numbering barely
enough for one and this in spite of
rumors daily drifting to us that the
Sacs and Foxes, with their main vii
lage just below, were already becom-
ing restless and Warlike, inflamed by
the slow approach of white settlers
into the valley of the Rock. Indeed,
SO short was the garrison of officers,
that the harasEed commander had ven
tured to retain me for field service, in
spite Of the fact that I was detailed to
staff duty, had borne dispatches up the
Mississippi from General Gaines and
expected to return again by the first
boat.
The morning was n of deep-blue
sky and bright sunshine. AS soon as
early drill ended I had left the fort
enclosure and sought a lonely perch
on the great rock above the mouth of
the cave. Below, extended a magnifi-
cent river, fully a mile wide from
shore to shore, unbroken in it's vast
sweep toward the sea except for a few
small willow-studded islands a mile OF
two away. Over there, in the near
shadow Of the Rock Valley, was where
Black Hawk, dissatisfied, revengeful,
dwelt with his British band, gathering
swiftly about him the younger, fight
ing warriors Of every tribe his influ-

ence could reach. He had been at the
fort but two days before, a tall,
straight, taciturn Indian; no chief by
birth, yet a born leader of men, de-
faint in speech and insolent of de-
meanor in spite of the presence also at
the council of his peoples true repre-
sentative, the silent, cautious Keokuk.
Even with my small knowledge of
such things it was plain enough to be
seen there existed deadly hatred be-
tween these two, and that Keokuk's
desire for peace with the whites alone
postponed an outbreak. Already tales
reached us of %encroaching settlers ad-
vancing along the valley, and Of saw
age, retaliating raids which could only
terminate in armed encounters. That
Keokuk could continue to control his
people no longer seemed probable to
me, for the Hawk was evidently the
stronger character of the two, pos
sessed the larger following and made
no attempt to conceal the depth of his
hatred for all things American.
Down below where I sat a little riv-
er steamboat was tied to the wharf, a
dingy stern-wheeler, with the word
"Wazrior" painted across the pilot
house. My eyes and thoughts turned
that way. Standing alone together
near the stern were a h~eavily-built
man with white hair and beard, and q
younger, rather slender fellow, with
clipped, black mustache. Both were
unusually we'll dressed, the latter ex.
ceedingly natty and fashionable in at
tire, rather overly SO, I thought, while

"Yes-and beyond"
"Shall see more Of you then. Well,
Judge, how do you feel? Carver and
McAfee are waiting for us down be-
low"
The two disappeared together down
the ladder and I was again left alone
in my occupancy of the upper deck.

"There is nothing on record. Haines
assured himself as to that some years
ago."
"What are the two girls named?"
"Rene and Eloise."
(which one is the daughter?"
"Really, lieutenant, I do, not know.
You see I was eve introduced, but
merely gained a glimpse of them in
the garden. I doubt If I would recog-
nize the one from the other now. You
see all this story was told me later"
I sat there a long while, after he
had gone below, the taciturn mate at
the wheel. Totally unknown to me as
these two mysterious girls were, their
strange story fascinated my magma
ton. What possible tragedy lay be-
fore them in the years? What horrible
revelation to wrench them asunder-
to change in a single instant the quiet
current of their lives? In spite Of
every effort, every lurking hope, some
way I could not rid myself of the
thought that Beaucaire 80 either
through sheer neglect, Or some instinct
Of bitter hatred-had failed to meet
the requirements of his duty. Even

MEN IN WAR SERVICE
CAN'T HOLD P. 0. Jobs
Service Men So Employed Must Be
Discharged at Once, Mr..
Burleson Says.

Announcement that men in the
military or naval service cannot be
employed in the post Offices in any
capacity and that any so employed
must be discharged At once was made
today by Postmaster General Burle-
son. He quoted an opinion of the
controller of the Treasury furnished
to the Department under date of
April 26, as follows:
Il have your letter of April 1s. 1919.
requesting decision whether men in
military service may be employed as
substitute clerks and city letter car
riers in post Offices and paid COM
pensation provided by law for such
services.
You are advised that since these
men are in the military service they
are subject to military orders, and
therefore in a status incompatible
with civil employment (see decision
to you dated April II. 1919. Your
question Is answered in the negative"
Mr.. Burleson's order to the post
masters Is as follows:
In accordance with this decision
men who are in the military or
naval service cannot be employed in
post offices either in regular posi-
tions or as substitutes. If any men
in the Army or Navy are now en-
ployed in post offices In any capacity
their services must be Immediately
discontinued"

Treaty Contains $4,000 Words and
Has Fourteen Principal Sections.
Mrs. Wilson Sees Ceremonial.

By the Associated Press.
VERSAILLES, May 7.-Ger1nany to-
day was told the terms upon which
the allied and associated powers will
make peace with her.
These terms were contained in a
treaty some $4,000 words in length,
which was handed to the German
plenipotentiaries at memorable as
semblage here, attended by the dele
gates of the twenty-seven nations
which are parties to the peace pact.
The treaty. it is noted, has to do with
Germany alone, except in so far as it
made by the allies with the other CEN
trail powers.
The document, long as 1t is, Is shorter
than was indicated by some of the
forecasts, which estimated its length
at 100000 words.
The treaty is not printed in German.
The text is in French and English. on
opposite pages.
End to Military Power.
The terms Of the treaty spell the end
of Germany as military power. She
is deprived of virtually all her fleet, her
army is cut down to nominal dimen-
sions and she Is sharply restricted along
lines through which she might seek to
work militarily to reha bilitate herself.
Economically also the future course of
Germany is hedged about with stipula-
tions intended to insure her ability to
nay the indemnity demanded by the all
lies, but to prevent her from exploiting
competitor Of the nations about her
which she overran and devastated dur
ing the war.
Thus, for instance. Germany for a
period of years at least will be de-
prived of the coal output of the rich
repayment of the damage caused by
the destruction Of the French coal
mines. She likewise is compelled to
make restitution for the damage in
other ways done to France, Belgium
and the various other countries which
suffered from Teutonic depredations
in various forms. In numerous other
ways she is made to realize that her
more than four years career of de-
struction must be made good
There has been much discussion of
the question whether the German
delegates would sign the peace treaty.
The Germans at first proposed to send
messengers to Versailles to take the
treaty TO Berlln, out tney were made
to understand that delegates with
power to sign the terms Of peace must
be sent, and this was done Further
more, the Germans will be allowed
only a definitely fixed time within
which to sign the treaty.
Allied representation at the cere-
monial today was made complete by
the arrival in Paris this morning Of
Vittorio Orlando. the Italian premier.
and Baron Sonnino. the foreign minis
ter, who it had been feared for a
time would not be present because Of
the tangle over the Adriatic question.
Italy Gets Fiume in 1928.
AS a basis Of resuming participa-
ton in the peace negotiations, Premier
Orlando accepted a proposal that Italy
administer Fiume as a mandatory Of
the league Of nations until 1923, after
which Fiume will revert TO italian
sovereignty. During the four years of
Italian administration a harbor for tEe
