CIR EAT BRITAIN
AND FRANCE IN
PEACEQUANDARY
Consider Whether They Are Not
Bound to Carry Out Treaty
Regardless
OPPOSES RESERVATIONS
John Bull Not Expected to Ac-
tcept Amendments Pro-
posed By Senators

London, Nov. 19.-Great Britain and
France are considering whether they
are not compelled to carry out the
German peace treaty and operate the
league of nations independently of the
United States pending the decision of
the American government on its
course. e..-ss. = s...-.....s
1t is pointed out, that matters are
continually arising under the treaty
which need immediate attention such
as the plebiscite commissions and it is
considered that because Of this fact it
is no longer possible to delay making
the pact operative.
The opinion strongly prevails here
that Great Britain will not accept any
reservation made by the United
States senate which would necessitate
the negotiation of a new treaty as the
British government it is declared has
every present intention of abiding by
the decision of the Paris conference.
The belief still exists in this capital
that the American government will
ultimately take its place with the al
lies. Meanwhile there appears to be a
possibility that Great Britain and the
others will proceed without the United
States

HASTINGS AND
BOX IN ANOTHER
BANK VENTURE
Well Known Townley Financiers
Have Organized Bankers
Investment Trust

Thomas Allan Box and John J.
Hastings, organizers of the Bankers
Investment trust at Fargo, called on
league officials at the capitol Tues
day. Box was formerly Townley's
principal financial agent, and he acted
for him in the organization Of num-
ber Of league enterprises. He and
Townley are said to have been at outs
following the investigation of the re-
organization of a league bank at VAL
ley City, in which Box was quoted by
Cashier H. C. Aamoth of the Ameri-
can national bank of Valley City as
saying thai Box did not think the
profits in this transaction excessive,
because they had to be split four
ways. Box, Aamoth said, told him
that Townley and J,cmke were in on
the split. Both Townley and Lemke
have declared this assertion false, and
they have brought suits for libel
damages aggregating several million
dollars against newspapers which
printed Aamoth's testimony before
the state banking board. ~
Hastings was formerly president
of the Consumers United Stores Co.,
later president Of the Scandinavian
American bank, and still later, with
Box, associated in the organization
of a chain of league banks affiliated
with the Scardinavian-American
bank. It is said that he and Townley
have not been friendly since Hastings
testimony before the banking board
here in the Valley City bank matter.
Box and Hastings, according to re-
cent reports, have been engaged in
banking operations in the Red River
valley. Townley some time ago in a
signed statement disclaimed any con-
nection with this new enterprise. The
new Hastings company is known
as the Bankers Investment Trust Of
Fargo, and it is understood to be in
connection with the incorporation Of
this concern that Box, Hastings and
their legal counsel, Judge Donahue,
called upon State Examiner Lofthus,
at the secretary Of states office and
other state departments.

N0NESSENTIALS
SHUT OFF FROM
COAL SUPPLIES
w. H. Groverman Announces
That Fuel Situation War
rants New Action
ADMINISTRATORS CONTROL
Question as to Distribution and
''Essential' Consumers Left
to Them

Duluth, Mimi, Nov, 49, - All sup
plies Of bituminous coal from the
docks ut the head of the lake to in
dustries in Duluth and Superior and
at points over the norwest regarded
as nonessential were cut off under an
order issued this forenoon by E. D.
Brigham, chairman and w. H. Grov-
erman, United States fuel adminstra'
tors.
Authority to ship coal to any manu-
featuring plant or industry must be
obtained from Mr.. Groverman and Mr.
Brigham. The question as to the esq
sential plants is left largely to the dis
erection Of the fuel administrators. Th,
preferred list in that respect includes
newspaper Offices and factories en-.
gagged on essential products including
clothing and certain food stuffs.
SITUATION MORE SERIOUS
Mr.. Groverman asserted that the
fuel situation had grown much more
serious than had been looked for in 50
short a time and that in line with Or
ders received from r. H. Ashton reg
ional director of railroads for the
northwest had been decided to eXer-
else the closest supervision over the
movement Of soft coal from now on.
1t will be the aim however to cause
as little disarrangement as possible
to industries but all must be prepared
to put up with strict regulation Of
their fuel supplies he declared.

NORTH DAK0TA'S
1919 HAIL LOSS
WAS $3,418,770
Amount Paid From State De-
partment 100 Times as Great
as Last Year
12,S48 CLAIMS APPROVED

Hail losses which the state insur-
ance department began paying today
aggregate $3,41S,770, and a few scatter
ing claims are yet being received.
The losses tabulated to date represent
12,849 claims, advises T. J. Sheahan,
deputy state hail commissioner.
The hail department does not actu-
ally pay these losses, but certiies
them to the state auditor, who draws
warrants on the state insurance fund.
These warrants will be dated December
2 and will be six percent interest
from date.
Mr. Sheahan estimates that to meet
all the demands made upon his depart
.ment there must be assessed hail tax
Of 25 cents per acre upon 12,467, ,125
acres listed with the insurance COM
missioner. This is cropped land which
was not withdrawn by its owners
prior to June Is, when the right to
exercise this option expired. A fiat
tax Of three cents per acre assessed
against all arabic lands has yielded
the department $804,49 from 50 coun
ties. The amount available from
Mountrail has not been determined, as
the department fels that the return
made by the auditor of 50,725 acres Of
arabic lands is too high.
The amount which the state hail in
surance department will collect and
pay out this year is almost 100 times
as much as handled under the old act
The former statute, amended by the
last session Of the legislature under
constitutional authority approved by
the electors in the 1918 election, made
insurance with the state wholly volun-
tary. A very small number Of farm
ers insured under this act. As amend
ed, no owner of arabic lands can
evade payment Of fat tax Of three
cents an acre. Farmers had until
June Is to withdraw from the act.
Those who remained "under" are
liable to an assessment which the Leg
islature has limited to Of SO cents per
acre. Deputy Sheahan believes half
of that amount will be sufficient this
year.
The insurance department may back
I movemnt in the special session for
a further limiting of the voluntar7
features Of the present act, with a
view to making state hail insurance
more general. 1t is estimated that
from 100000 to 10,0OO,00O acres Of
cropped lands were Withdrawn last
spring.

CAHILL SAYS WARM
WEATHER is BOON
TO SLOPE CATTLE

Senator j. l. Cahill Of Leith, in the
city yesterday, reports that the balmy
weather Of the last three days which
has cleared the slopes of snow has been
a great boon to the cattle country.
With two, feet of snow on the level,
cattlemen were forced to begin feed
ing in October fully two months ahead
OF time. Stocks of hay and feed were
short to begin with, and things were
beginning to look very dubious when
the belated Indian summer got on the
job. Senator Cahill advises that the
ranges are now practically clear, and
that there is excellent grazing for live
stock
