TROUBLES if She ratifes Roumania Is
dissatisfied because She didn't grab
las much territory as she thinks She
should have. And we read with dis
gust Of the fight in our own Senate
over the ratification of the Treaty
and the League of Nations.
The German National Assembly
will without doubt ratify the Peace
Treaty. The German people of all
classes are now clamoring for its
early ratification. But the next ques-
ton is-Will the lpresent govern
ment be strong enough to meet and
fulfil the conditions Of the treaty?
The present government is mistrust-
ed by all classes of Germans lit is
acknowledged that there has been lit
tie real revolution. Shheideman and
Ebert were formerly hangers-on for
the Kaiser's favor The last German
note in which they stated that their
eapitulation was due to the "over-
whelming force" of the Allies shows
that they respect the mailed fist and
not the velvet glove. At the last
minute in the discussions Brockdorff-
Rantzen disappeared as vanished the
Kaiser and Prince Max of Baden be-
fore him. The Scheidmann govern
ment has fallen-the Bauer Ministry
arose to take its place and sign the
peace treaty at Versailles. But
though the hand may be that of Bauer
the voice is still the voice of the old
Germany, the junker and militarist.
AS stated above, it is my opinion
that there has been no sincere revo- |
luton in the heart of the German
people. The cab driver, the walters
the soldiers, the high ranking officers.
VIII all tell you that the Kaiser is a |
good man, and that he did not want |
the war, and all with one accord saw
that they want him back.
l have heard man after man prop-
hesy that before the end of the year.
there will be another revolution led
by the members of the military party
and that the old order will return.
Then they say that Germany will re-
fuse to fulfill the conditions of the
treaty. 1t is hard for the people
outside of Germany to realize how
much the German people are even
yet wrapped up in the Kaiser.
A few days ago read statement
by leading business man of Cologne
which shows the sentiment of the bet
ter classes. He said in regard to the
war, 1--WE smashed the Russians, and

We beat the English and French; but

we beat the English and French; but
when Americans came IN we feared
we should have to give in; yet we
were doing 50 well on the sea and
laaa that Ne night still have won II
cur ssilois bad not reyolted. Demo
caacy has raiEed US; the people Of
Germany we're poor until the Hohen-
zollerns made them rich, but Demo
crazy has made US poor again. Some
day the Hohenzollerns win return
and they will avoid the bIunders Of
the past and make US rich again
And | believe that fully ninety per
nent of the Germans are waiting and
hoping for that return.
Field Marshal Hindenburg on his
retirement voiced these sentiments
in farewell speech to his soldiers,
"God does not desert US. We must
take care that the great work of Will
liam / and Bismark is not crumbled
to pieces. Germany and Prussia will
then rise again. That is my firm be-
lief, and / can only beg you to think
in this sense, and that when the hour
strikes, also to act
The militarists are 10 doubt plan
ming early attempts at reaction, but
it remains to be seen whether they
will find a response among the Ger
man masses. They may succumb to
dreams of William l and Bismarck
again, because the poison of Prussian
Militarism has permeated their whole
soul.
1t will be necessary for the Allies
to maintain strict vigilance. The
Germans are not to be trusted at any
turn Of the wheel, as has been shown
in the cowardly sinking of their in
termed fleet at Scapa Flow, and the
burning of the French flags in Ber-
lin. They have already violated
these provisions of the treaty, and
how can the Allies be sure they won't
violate other parts oft?
/ think, and most of the men who
have had the opportunity of study
ing conditions in Germany, that the
solution of the whole problem is a
strong League of Nations backed by
The armies and navies of France, Eng
and and the United States. AS Pres
dent Wilson said in one of his
speeches in Belgium, "The League of
Nations is the child of the great war
'or right" And l believe that this
.hild is the only hope for a proven
ion of another worlds conflict, and
he only guarantee that the condi-
ions of the Peace of Versailles will
,e fulfilled.

The curtain has fallen on the
Worlds greatest drama. Five year:
to a day after a Siberian student
fired the fatal shot at the Grand
Duke of Austria, the representatives

The treaty is signed, but what of

STATE SHERIFF LOST ONE

Sunday morning when the train ar
rived from the east, young man of
about nineteen attempted to get off
of the train unobserved with two suit
cases of booze. State Sheriff ). G.
Shanks was on the train and appre,
hended the young man in his attempt
and taking him through the train to
the rear, was trying to get off the
sleeper steps with his prisoner in one
hand one of the loaded suit cases and
his own travelling bag in the other,
The prisoner came first, with the sher-
iff's hand in his coat collar, and as
he landed on the platform, he dropped
the suit case that he was carrying,
wriggled out of his coat and sped
west down the depot platform, through
the crowd and out of sight behind the
Watertown train. Mr.. Shanks re-
mained in possession of the coat and
suit cases and calling up the county
sheriff placed the evidence in his
custody. There was a rumor that the
young man was from a neighboring
town, but no marks of Identification
were found in the coat. except the tag
of the clothing store in Brookings
where 1t was purchased. No arrest
has been made as far as known.

CITY WORK STARTED

Monday work in all three branches
of the new city improvements was
moving along as if things would soon
be under full headway. The sewer
contractors, O'Neil & Preston, have
their outfit here for the work on Sixth
street and were busy all day unload
ing and getting it into place. The
outfit for the other sewer, from Sex
auer's mill to the Heintz corner came
later and is now being placed. The
lighting contractor is here with his
crew and has started work at the end
of Main street near the tracks for
the installation of the system which
will make bright way of our main
thoroughfare. With the curbing crews
working steadily on the side streets,
having just finished Third street, the
improvements will soon be taking on
shape that will convince the residents
of the city and any visitors that
Brookings is going to be city in
which it will be pleasure to reside.

NEW RATE OF POSTAGE

Beginning July first the postage on
first class mail is reduced from three
cents to two cents for each ounce or
fraction thereof This takes back also
to the one cent rate for postal cards
and means a return to pre-war con-
d tions as to postage. For thiry days,
during July, the postoffices will re-
deem all three cent st2mps and
stamped envelopes at the regular price
paid for them, but after that date,
August first, they will only be re-
deemable at the old rate in otheI
stamped matter. Remember that now
you can send letters for two cents
and postals for one cent This makes
no difference in the rate that has been
charged for letters mailed for deliv-
cry on the routes from the towns
where the routes start. Letters for
delivery in the city still remain at
two cents, same as for the routes.
This makes the only change in Brook
ings on letters that go outside of the
city.

BUILDINGS GOING UP

All of the building projects in the
city are progressing these days with
all the rapidity that could be desired.
The Fipst National Bank is almost all
done on the outside. The front of
brick has been built for the new Ken
dali building and the foundation is
all in for the new Dybdahl garage.
There have been some setbacks for
some of the work, especially the two
last named Easements, but now that
the weather can show few dry days,
the builders are taking advantage of
the same and rushing things along
rapidly. What other business buildings
may be started this year is unde-
cided, but it would be no surprise if
at least two more were started and
perhaps finished before snow flies.
BrOokings is proud of the building
program that has been carried out
here this season. In the residence Sec
tion, several dwellings are fast as
suming definite proportions and 9TH
ers are about to be started. II is a
real building year for Brookings.
