SOCIALISTS To
FIX WAR BLAME
Commission Appointed at Con-
ference Being Held at
Berne

By associated Press.
BERNIE, Feb. 4.-Responsibilities
for the great war will be investigated
by a commission appointed by the So
vas decided today. This commission
will be made of two British, two
French, one Hungarian, one Austrian
and two German delegates, with Pres
ident Hjalmar Branting acting as q
member.
The prime object of the conference
was to influence the peace conference
at Paris" according to PETER j. Troel-
stra, the Dutch socialist leader. A
British delegate ,concurred in TIL
statement.
It was decided that the sessions be-
tween delegates as to responsibility to
b war would not be permitted. 1t
was pointed out that his subject
would lead to nothing but endless ad-
dresses by French and German repre-
Sentatives.
Following an attack on the German
majority socialists by Kurt Eisner, the
noon, another German delegate, Herr
Mueller, a majority socialist, denied
Germany was entirely to blame for the
war and defended his party.
Kurt Eisner said: 'It is not Ger
many alone, but the m~ilitarists of
the whole of Europe who were the
originators of the war. German Soc
ialists would have lost forever all
their influence upon the people if they
ventured to oppose the war. We
can't accept the judgment of our ene-
mics but only hat of neutrals."
Carl Kautsky, a German delegate
who a been mentioned as one of
Germany's delegation to the peace
conference at Paris, spoke at the
evening session, making a renewed
attack against the German majority
the memory of DR.. Carl Liebknecht
and Rosa Gutenberg. his words be-
ing received amidst murmurs of SYM
pathy. He concluded by saying:
The minority socialists having
protested against the terms of the
Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest treaties,
nave today the right to claim just
treatment for the German people.
Germany must be fed. She must be
avoid trouble which will lead to q re-
crudescence of Bolshevikism."
Other speakers included Herr
Grunbach, of Alsace Lorraine, Peter
]. Troelstra and DR.. Friedrich Adler,
of Vienna. DR.. Adler accused the
former Austrian government of hav-
ing systematically worked for the
war;"
Resolution Introduced.
The German majority socialist
PRODUCED a resolution to the effect that
the war has been the consequence OF
imperial policy during the last decade
The resolution says the causes of the
war were the Austrian ultimatum to
Servia, the general mobilization in
Russia and Germany's declaration oil
war as the result of Russia's mobiliza-
ton.
The German socialists declare the
entry of German troops into Belgium
was n violation of the rights of peo-
ples which nothing which occurred
since has justified.

new COUNCIL IN
FOR new YEAR
Committee Assignments
Delayed, But New
Member Gets Job

The old city council died and the
new council was born last night at
the last meeting of the city body of
the old year. But in the change
there is only one new face in coun-
Gil, R. L. Allison taking the seat of
Reese H. Horton, whose term had
expired and who was not a candidate
for reelection. Mr.. Allison and J.
E. Poole, reelected, were sworn in
by Judge Littlejohn, of the Superior
Court, who has for years been off
ciating at this ceremony; " E. Tay-
lor, also reelected, was not present
and will take the oath of office at a
later date.
In retiring Mr. Horton made a
graceful speech to his colleagues.

you 4 four years." he said, ad-
dressin 2 the other members of the
body, 'and it is only business rea-
sons that cause me to leave you now.

and it has been a great source of
education to me as well, for I have
learned things I never would have
known had I not been a msmber of

this is the reason why I have been
unable to attend more meetings dur
ing the past year. I want to thank
the council and the other city Off
cials for the many kindnesses and
courtesies extended to me while
was a member of this body"
Mayor Sheppard responded briefly
to Mr.. Horizons farewell, declaring
that it was regretted by the council
that officials relations with him must
cease, assuring him that it was well
understood why he had been unable
to be present oftener in recent
months, and extending him best
wishes for the future.
Following the administering of the
oath to Messrs. Poole and Allison,
Mayor Sheppard announced that he
was unprepared to make committee
assignments at this meeting, but
did state that, at the earnest request
of Alderman Taylor that he be re-
lived during the coming year of the
chairmanship of the streets commit
tee, he would appoint Mr.. Allison
chairman ad interim of this commit
tee, to serve until committee desig-
nations are announced. He also in
structed the old ordinance commit

meeting, which will be on New
Years night, special license ordi-
nance for the coming year.

DEBORAH Wins Fourth Game.

The DEBORAH ball team won its
fourth straight victory at Cresco last
Sunday when they went up against a
combination of players from Austin,
Adams and Blooming Prairie, Mimi
The battery was from Austin and the
first baseman. Two Adams men were
in the lineup and three from Bloom
ing Prairie. But at that they could mt
put it over the DEBORAH aggregation.
The score was 9 to in favor of De-
corah. Hans Anderson was I'm the box
for DEBORAH and as usual was there
with the stuff. The score stood 5 to
5 until the sixth inning. DEBORAH got
eighteen hits.
Weiser who played short, was the
leader in the hit column, getting
four; Sullivan, C, hits; Losen, first,
3; Rima I'd, one; Marsh, Sd, 3; Orr,

CLOSE THE CUT-OUTS.

"Close Cut-Outs" signs have been
posted at the warning posts at each
entrance to Hopkinton, says the
Leader, to let the autoists understand
that the cut-out is barred within
the corporation. The public apprec-
iates the fact that there is less noise
now than before, but there are yet
a few offenders. The number, how
ever, is being reduced and soon it
will be easy to spot those who per-
sist in believing that they will be
allowed to run through town, either
daylight or night, with the noisy cut
out splitting the air.
1t is impossible of course, for the
marshal to be in all parts of the
town at all times. Therefore, if resi-
dents will take note of those who
open the cut-out when they believe
they have safely passed out from UNI
der the watchful. eye of the chief of
police, and report the names CT the
offenders to the mayor or marshal,
the recalcitrants will be looked after.
The cut-out is a nuisance and abb
omination and no favorites will be
played in enforcing the regulations.
Don't blame the mayor or the mar
shall If you are called on the carpet.
Public sentiment is asking for en-
forcement of the rule, and those who
do not use the cut-out are Just as

Cam He Get His Money Back.

"A gentleman remarked the other
day, as long as the city wasn't using
all the lights on the electroliers,' he
wondered if it wouldn't be well to re-
turn the donations made towards the
electroliers when they were put in
a few years ago. Well perhaps he
could get his money back but it
would take lot of transforming
though that old Blackstone book to
find out who is who and why, etc. I"
aand whether the money should be
returned. But after all it looks as IL
the lights should be turned on. The
council though it would be saving
to the city If he bottom lights were
turned of every night but Saturdays.
But after hearing so many objections
offered g lr he idea it looks as
if the gu ii. should order all the
lights turned on and use the cleo
troliers rs they were intended to be
used. The people of the city are the
Lnes who are paying for this service
and they are the ones TO be satisfied
The idea oil turning the lights Of
during the war was to save coal. Now
that the war Is over and plenty OF
coal to be had, the people want SER
vice. We believe, after all, If the
electroliers are worth having they
are worth using.

EXPERIENCES OF THE TOURISTS.
Invariably Comes Back With Feeling
That the Good Old Home Town
Is Best Yet.

Many people take a summer va
cation by going on a sight seeing
tour to some interesting section of
the country. Let no one think he is
going to get any vacation rest out
of it. He will probably return much
more weary than he started.
Yet anyone who takes such trip
usually feels that his labor is well
repaid. He is cheered for many days
by the memories of beautiful country
or fine cities he has seen. He has met
interesting people, talked upon new
subjects, and got different points of
view.
He returns a broader American
citizen. He begins to see that his
own state and section does not con-
tain all the wisdom and virtue, and
that people with a somewhat differ
ent inheritance have their own points
of view which have some degree of
wisdom.
Also he gets ideas of civic advant-
age. He learns how different towns
have solved their community pro-
blems and have put through progress
sive measures. He begins to see how
his home town might take some ad-
vance step, solve old problems, and
build new institutions
Most men get ideas helpful to their
business by travelling. They are in
spired with the swing of the giant
stride that Twentieth Century Am
erica is taking. They have seen big
things accomplished, they have more
faith in their own ability to do big
things. They have a definite idea in
many details as to how other people
and other sections have achieved
success.
So the returned tourist may talk
so fast about what he has seen that
his neighbors weary of his converse
ton. He may have a fiat pocketbook,
but his head is bullying with ideas.
Anyway he is the possessor Of an ex-
perience worth all it cost. But what
ever the glories he has seen, he al
most invariably comes back with the
feeling that the good old home town
of DEBORAH is the best place yet.

Body Found i'm Tree.

A report has been brought here
of most startling discovery which
was made few days ago by wood
choppers on the farm of Edward
Gleek, near LeSeur. A giant white
oak tree was cut down in the course
of clearing a piece of land on the
Gleek farm, and in the hollow of
this tree was found the mummified
body of Jean LaRue, who was farm
hand on the place in 1862, and who
disappeared on August 10, that year.
Soldiers who were chasing the In
dians at that time so frightened La
Rue, Mr.. Gleek says, that the man
came running to the house and Sc
cured his gun and over 500 in mon
ey and fed. He never was seen again.
It is now believed that he went to
tht hollow tree and became fastened
there and died. In the trunk Of the
tree was found LaRue's rifle and a
wallet containing $7S3.50 in money.
A diary which LaRue carried con-
tanned a notation under date Of Au-
gust 20, 1862, that he become fas-
tened in the tree and If ever found to
send his belongings to his mother,
who resided at Tarascon, France.
