GERMAN PRAISES
ENGLISH SYSTEM

BERLIN, Aug. 23.-"The reason why
the whole world rose up against Prus
STA and Germany and not against Eng
land, is plain to everyone who had
observed the Prussian policy in Poland
and the Prussian administration i'm AL
sace," asserts Professor F. w. Foer
ster, of the University of Munich
writing in the Tageblatt.
England practised much might, tc
be sure, but it has also given the
world much freedom and JUSTICE" he
added. "She succeeded in reconciline
the Beers whereas we were unable in
forty years to regain the sympAthies
of the Alsatians, who are German tC
the core. That speaks volumes.
"The isolation Of Germany from
Hague conferences is irrefutable proof
in dominating circles that Germany
is possessed of different mentality
than the rest of the world"
He charges Germany with having
erred in the exchange of the VeEsail
les notes on the question of guilt and
states that many one-sided accusations
might have been combated more eff
fectively if Germany had not again
endeavored to defend untenable posi-
tions with rank sophistries.

Rent Profiteers Struggle
With Tenants in Paris

PARIS, July 2S.-(Correspondenc
Of The Associated Press).-The strug-
gle between Partisan landlords, who
seek to double Or treble the income
from their properties, and tenants, who
are unable to find vacant apartments
at any reasonable price, has reached
a deadlock
House owners refuse to extend
leases or to advertise for rent apart
ments that have been vacated. Ten
ants, unable to find new quarters, re-
fuse to move at the behest of the land
lords, while the courts ceased to enter
tain applications for writs of expul-
sion, there not being enough process
servers to handle those already issued.
Fifty thousand notices to vacate
were served on tenants for the end
of the second quarter of this year.
Such notices were received by all the
tenants of some apartment houses,
showing how generally landlords have
sought to increase rents. The extent
of the movement has provoked the
passage by the Chamber of Deputies OF
bill extending for two years all verb
al leases made since the beginning OF
the war. Leases made prior to the
war already were protected by DEGREES
and previous legislation.

Mexican Squatters Take
Homes of u. S. Morm0ns
(By Associated Press)

DOUGLAS, Ariz., Aug. 23.-Some of
the several hundred Mormons who
were driven out of their colony at
Colonia Morelos, sixty-five miles south
east Of Douglas by Villas army of in
vasion in 1916 are endeavoring to re-
cover their homes from the Mexican
squatters who have usurped them.
About ten Mormon families still live
in the colony but are not permitted to
occupy their own brick houses. Mex
lean families are living in them and
refuse to quit, proclaiming the doc.
trine Of Mexico for Mexicans."
Many other Mormons, disheartened
by their reversals have begun life
anew in the United States. Appeals
have been made to the Mexican gov.
eminent by the Mormons without re.
suit. Recently the American state de.
partment asked the Mexican govern.
ment to drive out the usurpers and re-
store their property to them. The col
onists hope this effort will be success.

SLUMP, CONTINUES
ON STOCK MARKET
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Aug. % Further
downward reimbursement Of quoted
values which began in the previous
fortnight on the demands Of the Rail
road Brotherhoods occurred in the
stock market this week.
Some important shares recorded
minimum price for 1919, while many
others forfeited the greater part of
the gains made in the protected rise
which had it's inception in the early
months Of the year.
The spread of adverse labor condi-
lions, including the strike vote of the
steel workers in the middle west and
the serious complications which
threaten to follow in the wake of a
further slump in foreign exchange
alarmed holders of long stock and en-
couraged an extra session Of bea IRISH
aggressions.
Material rallied towards the latter
part of the week resulted mainly from
covering of short contracts although
substantial DESCRIPTION and some of
the leading issues was observed at
concessions.
According to board room gossip,
public interest was again negligible
and the bond market reflected unsatis-
factory investment conditions, with
standard issues at lowest levels for
one to two years.
Money for speculative purposes was
in fair supply but at decidedly higher
quotations than those which prevailed
during recent weeks, ruling at per
cent. Time funds were quotably

NaDy Men To Be Given
Honorable DISCHARGE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Honor-
able discharges will be granted to all
men who served in the navy during
the war with Germany with good rec
ords and who have since been released
with "ordinary" discharges, it was an
nounced at the navy department. to-
day. By ruling Of the department at
the time the armistice was signed all
enlisted men discharged before the ex-
piration of the full four years tenn Of
enlistment were given ordinary dis
charges instead of the usual honorable
discharges. Many protests were re-
ceived as a result and congress- ional
action recently was taken to allow the
awarding of honorable discharges.
Ordinary discharges may be ex-
changed for honorable discharges by
forwarding the original discharge to
the navy department bureau of navi-
cation. The ruling includes all men
who served in the navy with good rec
ords between April 6, 1917, and Nov.
II, 1918, and who have since been dis
charged.

PARLIAMENT PLAYS
after WAR STRAIN;
VIEWS GREAT FLEET

LONDON, Aug 20 mail. correspond
ence of The Associated Press)--Par-
lament, after FIVE hard years devoted
to the business of the empire, is again
learning to play. Last week 1t occu-
pied a stand along the Mail while the
fighting men of the Allies passed in
review.
This week it continued ID its peace
celebration by visiting the fleet
anchored of the mouth of the Thames
at Southernd. And on both occasions
1t cast aside the dignity and hoary
customs of it's ancient legislative halls
and enjoyed the novelty like q lot OF
schoolboys out for a frol1c.
Monday the lords saw the sh1ps-a
comparatively small and select party,
which left London late and came home
early. Tuesday it was the turn of the
Commons who cheered the best known
fighting ships.
Great Ships Viewed.
The Balmorel Castle which carried
the Commoners and their wives first
circled the fleet, the Lizzie" as the
voyagers affectionately termed Ad-
miral Beatty's flagship, the Queen Eiz-
abeth, being especially admired
Then the Warspite which the Ger
the Lion, the Tiger and lot Of, other
big ships came in for admiration,
while the Conqueror, the Thunderer
and some Of the smaller fighters were
greeted as old friends.
The Balmorel Castle then steamed
down through the center Of the fleet
On one side were the big ships; on
the other the submarines, chaseEs and
desrtoyers. Few sailors were in lsight
but the crew of a submarine were
loudly cheered as they took position
on deck for few minutes, and then
went about some task set by their
commander. A destroyer suddenly
spouted smoke, gathered speed like
an automobile and tore out to see.
But that was all the commander
showed Of his fleet. There was no
firing Of salutes; no orderly manning
of the rails. Just the ships, silent and
grim, beloved by all the Engi~h PEG
pie as their first line Of defns.

Married at Z; Has
Wife Arrested at 10

1t doesn't pay to be hasty in mar
rage, according to Linus Meredith,
clerk of the Wayne circuit court.
Thursday evening, Linus was called
to the court house with the request
that he issue a marriage license. The
groom "to have been" said that he
was in hurry and wanted to be mar
ried that night.
Always accommodating Linus came
away from a good meal to issue the
license. The young people were mar
ried by a local minister at O'Clock
the same evening.
At ten o'clock that evening, the
groom came to the police station, and
asked that his wife be arrested, claim
ing that she had left him, and had
gone out to Glen Miller park with
another man.

If storms shall brew beyond the misty

If the gaunt form of narchy shall
