again we ask HAS AMERICA
LOST THE WAR? The answer is
plain. We have lost 1t unless the
things for which we fought have been
accomplished. Have they?
One.fourth of our men we are told
by good authority enlisted to free the
land of our forefathers and mothers.
Why did we think so? They tell us it
is not in the bargain, but Mr.. Balfour
came-he talked, and he listened, and
was definitely informed the only rea-
son by which America could be made
to 60 into the war. He answered that
question in Enland's hour of trouble,
and he cannot repudiate 1t now in the
day of AMERICAS TRIUMPH. It was
foolish for the President to maintain
all these things only for few nations
that Germany controlled. Do you
know where Slovakia is? Thousands
Of American boys are dead because
they freed It. but the President doesn't
know where 1t is. They tell us it is

the effect of opening the land office to
contest as we had hoped it would. 1t
seems to me it will simply give the
settlers standing in court where they
may successfully contend. The pres
ent title holders are holding the titles
in trust for them. This is not all we
have asked for, but much better than
anything we have had, and believe a
good many settlers can gain title by
this method
Personally l have no axe to grind
and nothing to gain or lose by this de-
cision or the Aswell bill if it should be-
come law. Many of US had hoped to
secure the passage of such an act in
order to put the burden where it prop
erly belongs, on the title holders under
the Railway Co., of contesting through
the courts. This does not seem to have
been gained by the courts decision.
What the settlers have gained is that
the Act of 1887 should govern both as
to lands patented prior to and after its
passage, except lands patented and
sold before the acceptance by the Rail-
way Co., April 16, 1887, of the act, as
shown of record in the General Land
Office. The court holds that this ac-
ceptance by the Railway Co. binds
them to all the provisions of the act of
Grant. 7. o. HART.
