some real history in Phelps this year
The committee has done and is doing
what it can to make a success out of
this years program. If everything
goes as per schedule it ought to make
good day OF fun for everyone. The
raft which is being fixed for the fire
works, will be donated to the town
afterwards as swimming and diving
raft and will be anchored at a
handy distance just off from the
dock. A merry-go-round was adver-
tised for, but without success. How
ever everyone can go-around merrily
and will have plenty to keep them
selves busy. A number of swings
will be put up in the park and see
saws for the younger generation will
add to the sport. Pink lemonade and
peanuts will be furnished in album
dance by various vendors and other
stands will furnish various forms of
amusement. Everybody come to
Phelps for good lively time,

Phelps people made a trip with Eds

AMERICAN PROPERTY

Berlin, July 20.-Germany has n'ft
iquidated American private or busi-
ness property, Clemens Won Delbu-
reck, acting minister of justice, told
the Associated Press correspondent
today. He declared that Germany did.
on March 4, 1918. issue ruling
whereby the liquidation was permitted
because America already had done the
same.
While America carried out this Ii
quotation measure, the minister said
that Germany never did so, but. on
the contrary merely regulated and ad-
ministered American property. When
this administration is removed the
Americans will have their free prop
erty again." said Herr Won Delbu-
reck.
In no single case has Germany
touched or violated American trade
marks" continued the minister. In
the case of patents we distributed
licenses for their use by Germans in
five cases. but we never declared
American patents null or expired
American patents and trademarks
might be limited in Germany by an
act of January 3, 1918, if it lay in the
public interest and German could
have. under certain circumstances a
This order was issued because Amer

many was particularly hesitating in
all these questions notwithstanding
America passed a pretentious law of
this kind, because Germany hoped to
be able soon to resume friendly BUSH
ness relations with the United States.
The ministry of justice quoted A.
Mitchell Palmer, formerly alient prop
erty custodian of America, as having
declared in his report to the United
States senate in February last that
Germany had done the same as Amer
lea in liquidating alien property. but
had always been a little ahead OF
America in doing SO.
1T is false to say that Germany
preceded america and correct to sa,
that Germany only used retaliation .
said the minister.
