If Mr.. Wilson had not made his
answer to the German proposals or
if he had rejected them the Germans
would still have had to go to Foch.
They had no choice Their army
was on the point of dissolution and
the final blow was prepared.
But l find in Paris among some
Americans. and I assume the same
opinions must exist in similar quar-
ters in America q growing impress
sion that Germany has been unfair
ly treated because the IA points
have not been interpreted i'll her ia
yor. There seems to be an impress
sion that Germany was in condi-
ton to bargain with her enemies in
November, that she had made a bar
gain and the terms Of the bargain
have not been observed by the Allies.
But this is familiar German propa
ganda, this maneuver over the IA
points. 1t is the sort of thing the
Germans did exceedingly we'll all
through the war. confusing the is
sue, mistaking the fact, then demand
ing rights which could only flow
from conditions which were non-ex-
istent.
When the Germans jumped over
board last fall they seized upon Pres
ident Wilson's IA points as a life
preserver; all things considered, the
IA points have been exceedingly valu
able to them, but they now perfect
shamelessly assert that because OF
the Il points they were absolved
from all kinds of responsibilities.
We have marched long way from
the time of the armistice, but it is
worth while to refresh our minds
once in a while on the actual facts.
Germany did not surrender on ac-
count of the / 4 points. She surren-
dered because she was beaten. The
German people did not lay down
their arms because Mr.. Wilson's pro-
gram reached their hearts or their
heads. Germany capitulated because
she was beaten.
There never was any chance that
the IA points would be interpreted to
save her. They have not been and
German complaints are merest eye
wash. The thing which the Ger
mans are now up to ought to be
clearly understood. Those people
who believed that the settlement of
this war could DC made in such fash
ion as to remove hostility between
the nations Germany attacked and
Germany have realized i'll reading
the terms of peace that this will not
happen. They perceive that while
Germany cannot pay all that she
should pay, the amount which she
will have to pay will be burden
upon German shoulders for many
years to come. They perceive that in
fact the treaty with Germany will be
an armistice lasting until Germany
has discharged her obligations, some
Is years heneo~ an sRHlistice-whfeh
will dissolve into war if Germany
fails to pay up in that period.
Seeing all this, seeing their hopes
shattered, they are criticising the
treaty of peace as unfair to Germany
The Germans ere agitatins on the
same line They are conducting a
propaganda designed to enlist the So
called liberals of the world exactly
as their peace without annexation
propaganda reused the liberals OF
the world to sympathy just before
they themselves made the Brest-Lit-
ovsk and Bucharest treaties.
The tactics are obvious. The OBJ;

HUNS .WHIMPERING and
BLUFFING TO HIDE DEFEAT
Still Try 10 Make it Appear Four
teen Points Influenced Them
Claim Totally Fraudulent, Writes
Correspondent III Survey of The
Situation.

Paris, June 16.-At the present
moment German propaganda and
German public men are making des-
perate efforts with a measure OF sue
cess in some directions, to give the
impression that the German surren-
der last November was due solely to
the principles OF the IA points.
In other words, the Germans are
attempting to make it appear that
their armies and their fleet would
not have capitulated in November
had it not been that the points Offer
ed a satisfactory basis for peace.
1t is essential for Americans to re-
member that such a ciaim is totally
fraudulent. In the first week of. No
vember of last year all German ar
mics had been beaten, all their re-
serves had been consumed and Foch
was on the point of delivering new
offensive in Lorraine which would
have brought a ccsossal AID irrepar-
able disaster.
On the military side the German
cause was lost and the greatest mill
tary disaster in all history was im-
pending The Germans had the
choice between surrendering before
this disaster or following the exam
pie of the Austrians, who q few
weeks before had waited for the dis
aster and seen their armies dissolve
on the battlefield
A strong Germany on the military
side did not yield in November be-
cause the German people saw in the
l 4 points any basis for negotiations.
The German people knew nothing
about the IA points.
Like everything else that Presl-
dent Wilson had said and done dur
ing the War Which might have in
fiuenced the German people. the IA
points were carefully suppressed by
the German censor.
1t is nonsense and cheap deceit
that the Germans are now attempt
ing to propagate industriously.
The military leaders of Germany
prolonged the war to the last mo-
ment. When utter defeat impended
they then accepted what the provo
sails of Mr.. Wilson because they had
to.
They did not accept them in prin-
!ciple. They only accepted them as
the sole alternative to ruin. They
We're not tricked into surrender.
They were beaten into surrender.
They could not have gone on tight
ing for two-weeks more ithoTt
seeing their army dissolve, as the
Austrian Army had dissolved.
Now the Germans are attempting
to establish the idea that they could
have gone on fighting in November
and only desisted to spare the world
further bloodshed.
They are endeavoring TO create
the impression that the German ar
mics were never beaten, thus preserV
ing at home the old legend Of the
military caste and exciting abroad
sympathy for a country which was
deceived into an unnecessary sur

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as thev cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure catarr-
hal deafness, and that is by consti-
tutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness
is caused by an inflamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube is inf1amed
you have a rumbling sound or I'M
perfect hearing. and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result.
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
duced and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever. Many cases of deaf
ness are caused by catarrh, which is
an infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medicine
acts thru the blood on the mucous
surfaces of the system

THE MOTOR TRUCK
ON THB FARM

There are thousands of farmers who
could use motor trucks to good advan-
tage to do the hauling which usually
consumes large part of their time, but
in many instances these time-saving
features of the motor truck have not
been brought to their attention, or they
do not feel that they have use for =
motor truck.
An Indiana farmer recently com
plained to his neighbor, truck owner,
that he had 80 much hauling to do that
it was impossible for him to get it
done. His neighbor said, "I'll come
over in the morning and help you" In
the morning he appeared with his motor
truck and asked what he should haul.
"Well," was the reply, "I have =
load of manure to haul from town, -
I guess wen go after that first"
They went to town, distance Of
seven miles, loaded the manure on the

CATTLE SHARE RANGES
WITH SHEEP

The grazing of cattle and sheep on
the same ranges, which has been de.
clared an impossibility by many cattle
men, is becoming more successful each
year, according to IL. j. uatton, chief
of grazing for the forest service. 1t is
estimated that there are now approxi-
mately $4,000 cattle and the same num-
ber of sheep grazing on the nationai
forests of Colorado.
Difficulties between cattlemen and
sheepmen is said by forestry officials 10
be the main reason the grazing of cat
tile and sheep on the same ranges has
never been success heretofore.
1t has been said that sheep when
placed on the same range with cows,
ate up SO much of the grass thai the
cattle could not exist. Forestry Off
cials say that sheep, when placed on a
range with cattle in limited numbers
and left to roam at random, will eat
mostly weed feed and tender grass.
leaving the coarse grass for cows. This
is entirely different, they say, from the
methods used on the uncontrolled
range, where cattlemen and sheepmen
competed for the entire range aud
drove the animals over the range in
unlim. ted numbers.

from the time they started the work

work was accomplished surprised the
farmer. He had not realized his need
Of truck until he had it demonstrated

There was Student Body associa

was real lively affair. Betcha! 1t
was diplomatic tangle over whether
or not we should place tax upon our
respective heads. Said tax to pay en-
trance fees to basketball games. Con-
gresswoman Bryant, of Senior county,
introduced the bill, and after fierce de
batting it passed the lower house unan-
imousIy. 1t provided tax of 25c per
urer's report was given at this time.
We find that the proceeds of the play,
coupled with the January dues, gives
us 500.
