Epents Summarized
(By The Associated Press. )


While the peace conference heads
feasible to the framing of the reply
to the German counter proposals, this
work has not yet reached such a stage
as to make possible the naming of a
definite date for the presentation of
the document to the German pleni-
potentiaries.
There has been considerable inter-
! ference with the deliberations of the
council of four over this question of
primary interest. On Monday, for
| instance. the council was compelled
Ito devote much of its session to con-
sideration of the situation in Czecho-
Hungarian soviety troops brought
a bout what is admittedly a serious
situation. An ultimatum has been
| sent to the Hungarian government, 1t
is reported, demanding that the ad-
vance into Czecho- -Slovakia be stopped
and threatening to use Allied troops
to force Hungary to abandon her in
vasion Of her neighbors territory.
The main question was the council
now Is considering in connection with
the German treaty Is the proposed
change in the covenant of the League
of Nations whereby the terms of Ger

easier. The proposed change is said
to be prompted mainly by a desire to
forestall the possible formation of an
other combination of nations, with
Russia, Germany and the former
Germanic Allies taking the leading
roles. 1t is felt in some quarters ac-
cording to advices, that it would be
easier to deal with Germany as q
member of the league than If she re-
manned outside.
The Turkish delegation en- route to
France on board French warship is
to appear before the peace conference

its members will not be considered

Resolution is Referred to the
Foreign Relations Com:
r1ittee Today.

Washington, June 1o.-The treaty
fight broke out anew in the senate to-
day along lines which promised speed
lily to head up the issues involved
over the League of Nations.
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, re-
publican, of the foreign relations

present form which has the league
covenant interviewer with the terms
Of settlement.
1t proposes that the peace treaty
of a League of Nations shall be re-
served for consideration by the peo-
pie Of any nation without affecting
Germany's obligations in the actual
settlement of peace terms.
1t proposes to have the senate de-
Glare 1t the policy Of the United States
government that should the peace

A great international Socialist con-

Socialist, but, rather, bourgeois gath

In Berne at this time, likewise sup.

bureau and the Congress of Co-Opera-

dorsed this demand for an amendment
to the covenant Of the league Of na-

MILLS ACQUITTED
IN FEDERAL COURT
Charges Against League Lee.
turer Fall So Flat That Judge
lnStructs Verdict

BY ending the widely heralded in
dictment against Walter Thomas Mills,
lecturer for the Nonpartisan league,
with verdict for the defendant, the
jury in the federal district court at
Fargo, wiped out the last of the cases
brought against League men under
the federal espionage law. The prose-
cution failed SO signally to make out
a case that Judge Amidon instructed
the, jury. to bring a verdict for MIR.
Mills.
The four other federal cases against
Nonpartisan league men included
those of ]. w. Brinton and John V.
Free, who were freed by the Jury,
and of Leo Horst, and the grand jury
refused to indict. Another case
brought against League organizer
In Idaho was dismissed on the motion
OF the agent OF the department of
justice. The Nonpartisan league,
therefore, now has a 100 per cent rec
ord for loyalty so far as federal laws
and federal courts are concerned.
Mr.. Mills, against whom this foolish
indictment was brought in the hope
OF injuring the cause of the organized
farmers, has long been well known
throughout the nation as an author
and lecturer of unusual ability. His
first book Science of Politics." was
published in 1887 and had wide sale.
Two other books from his pen, "The
Struggle for Existence" and '"Democ-
racy or Despostism," have also been
very popular and place Mr. Mills in
the first rank Of American reformers
In 1896 Mr.. Mills was with Mr.. Bry-
ans party as speaker and travelled
with him throughout that memorable
campaign. In 1901 he went to England
as an international delegate of the
American Federation of labor, and in
1909 he took part in the great land
reform campaign in that country.
Later he spent two and a half years
In New Zealand helping to reconstruct
the Labor party there.
Mr.. Mills began lecturing for the
Nonpartisan league shortly after
America entered the world war and
has since been engaged In that capa-
city. Mr.. Mills Is s. years of age.
In view Of the prominence given by
the opposition to the organized farm
ers to the Mills case, League officials
predict that it will cause more than
the usual reaction In favor Of the un-
Justly accused.

FARMER SAVED s23s BY
DEALING WITH EQUITY

A saving of $233.54 on one car.
load of wheat shipped to the Equity
Cooperative Exchange over and
above what he would have got had
ne shipped to one of The old line ele-
vators OF Minneapolih, was the pleas
ant surprise that greeted Henning
Gunhus of Edinburg, N. D., last
week.
Mr.. Gunhus had lib bushels of
No. Dark Northern that was given
a dockage of IL per cent when grad
ed. If this carload had been handled
through the old line commission
houses of the Twin Cities he would
have suffered the loss contained in
this IL per cent dockage, or would
have been paid for 983 bushels net
at $2.48 per- bushel, yielding him
$2439.91 for the carload. -.
But he was shipping to the farm
er terminal, which has no object in
giving less than the grain is worth,
Tor there are no stockholders to share
such ill-gained profits. His wheat
was observed to have considerable
flax and was therefore cleaned in the
Equity terminal elevator in st. Paul,
giving him 962 bushels net of wheat,
343O pounds of screenings (for which
he was paid SIP TOM and 5000
pounds of fax or 80 bushels and 20
pounds (which with the flax dockage
taken out left 81 bushels and SO lbs.
net of fax. For this flax Mr.. Gun
hus got $3.50 per bushel or $315.51.
His screenings. brought $20.58 addi-
tional, and his cleaned wheat, screen
ings and flax brought a total of
S2724.21.
Taking from the $2724.21 which he
received for his screened wheat,
screening and flax, the sum of
S2439.91, which he would have re-
ceived from an old line buyer, Mr..
Gunuhs had a saving of 1924. 80.
The cleaning cost $50.76, leaving a
net profit of $233.54-his premium
for dealing with The EQUITY Coop
erative Exchange. This sort of ex-
perience has been repeated for many
farmers who have remained loyal to
their own line and terminal system,
and is one Of the net advantages
they have achieved by organization.
