WILL GIVE UP HoLLWEG
German Government Willing to Have
Allies Place Former Chancellor
on Trial.

Berlin, July DIR. Theobold Won
Bethmann-H Ollweg, former German
chancellor, offered on May 20, 1919, to
surrender himself for trial by the al
lies, but withdrew the offer on the
specific request of the government
which at that time took the view that
Germans accused. of causing the war
or of acts In violation of the rules OF
civilized warfare should be either tried
before a local court or German judges.
His attitude at that time, therefore,
was held to be undesirable. Now, how
ever, after peace has been signed and
the Germans have agreed to extradltc
persons whom the allies desire to place
on trial, the action of the former chan-
cellor in offering to surrender to the
allies is looked upon as purely per-
sonal. The government does not object
to his action as, 1t is believed, that he
is one of those whom the entente in
tends to bring before the high tribunal.

GERMANY CAN PAY AND WILL
PAY HUGE INDEMNITY.

Twenty-Five billions is an enormous
sum Of money We all know how much
Of an effort it took in this great coun-
try to float a bond issue of one-fifth
Of that sum. But the President in his
message printed on this page, says
that Germany can pay the huge sum
exacted to repair the destruction
wrought by her armies, and it is quite
probable that Germany will surprise
the world by the rapidity with which
she will discharge this enormous obli-
cation.
Germany can and will confiscate all
excess earnings above 100000, and tax
all luxuries several hundred per cent.
Public lands heretofore used for for
tresses and other military purposes
will be sold and the proceeds used to
discharge the treaty obligations. The
Germans are debt paying people.

THE DOMINION OF IRELAND.

Probably much sooner than most
people imagine, the Dominion Of Ire
land will be an accomplished fact.
Canada and Australia are British Do
minions, but for all practical pur-
poses they are in full enjoyment OF
self government. There is no reason
why Irishmen should not be given
the same political rights and priyf-
leges as Canadians.
Under. a Dominion form of govern
ment Ireland could be admitted to the
League of Nations and take its place
among the nations Of the world. The
workingmen of England are in favor
of this solution of the Irish question,
and the American people will second
the motion for Irish self government.

PRESIDENT WILSON TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE,

President Wilson, in an address to
the American people on the occasion of
the signing of the peace treaty, made a
plea for the acceptance Of the treaty
and the covenant Of the league of
nations without change or reservation.
His message is as follows:
my fellow countrymen: The
treaty of peace has been signed. If it
is ratified and acted upon in. full and
sincere execution of its terms it will
furnish the charter for new order of
affairs of the world.
at is severe treaty in the duties
and penalties it imposed upon Germany,
but it is severe only because great
wrongs done by Germany are to be
righted and repaired; 1t imposes moth.
ing that Germany cannot do; and she
can regain her rightful standing in the
world by the prompt and honorable full
fillment of its terms.
+ "And it is much more than a treaty
of peace with Germany. 1t liberates
great peoples who have never before
been able to find the way to liberty.
1T ends, once for all, an old and in
tolerable order under which small
groups of selfish men could use the
peoples of great empires to serve
their ambition for power and domin-
ion.
1T associates the free governments
of the world in permanent league in
which they are pledged to use their
united power to maintain peace by
maintaining right and justice.
1T makes international law real
ity supported by imperative sanctions.
1T does away with the right of con-
quest and rejects the policy of annex
alton and substitutes new order I'M
der which backward nations-popula-
lions which have not yet come to polit-
ical consciousness and peoples who
are ready for independence, but not
yet quite prepared to dispense with
protection and guidance-shall no
more be subjected to the domination
and exploitation of stronger nation,
but shall be put under the friendly di-
rection and afforded the helpful assist
ance of governments which undertake
to. be responsible to the opinion of
mankind in the execution of their task
by accepting the direction of the league
of.nations.
1T recognizes the inalienable rights
of nationality; the rights of minorities
and the sanctity of religious belief and
practice.
1T lays the basis for conventions
which shall free the commercial in
tercourse of the world from unjust
and vexatious restrictions and for ev-
cry sort of International cooperation
that will serve to cleanse the life of
the world and facilitate it's common
action in beneficent service of every
kind.
1T furnishes guarantees such as
were never given or even contemplate
ed for the fair treatment of all who
labor at the daily tasks of the world.
1T is for this reason that have
spoken of it as a great charter for a
new order of affairs. There is ground
here for deep satisfaction, universal
reinsurance and confident hope

The men who did all in their pow
er to obscure the accomplishments
and magnify the mistakes of Presi-
dent Lincoln were called copper
heads. The American people soon
whisked them into obscurity, the his
torians gave them no place among
honorable men and for all time their
names will remain unhonored and
unsung, but their breed is not ex-
tinct. We have in the United States

The Leagues senatorial foes may be
able to delay the ratification of the
covenant, but they can not defeat it.
The American people, in their own

IS ratified; and, incidentally, they will
consign to we'll merited oblivion all
senators who have more regard for
partisanship than they have for hui
man rights.

PROHIBITION NATION WIDE.

=
Yesterday was another. great day
in American history, a day full of
wonderful possibilities. The Presi-
dent refused to suspend or revoke the
war time prohibition law. because
upwards of million soldiers are not
yet discharged, stating he could not
act until rehabilitation B was COM
plete.
The vets contend that beer or wine
containing not more than 2.75 per
cent. of alcohol is not intoxicating
and many actions are now pending
in the Federal courts to determine
that question Rulings will soon be
made and the Attorney General has
announced that until the courts act
no new cases will be commenced, but
he warns the vendors of near beers
and all other beverages containing al
cohol that they will be prosecuted if
the courts hold, that their sales are
prohibition by the Federal Statute. He
has also announced that if Congress
will des..ne intoxicating beverages the
Department of Justice will enforce the
law as defined by Congress. A bill
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of beer containing 2.75 per cent. al
chol will probably be passed in the
near future. The Judiciary Committee
OF the House will meet next Monday to
prepare such a. bill.
Monday night John Barleycorn was
buried with bacGhanalian revelry in
many places. In East Dubuque a
drunken noisy mob indulged in a dis
graceful riot Policemen were beat,
en-, the Jail was broken open and
prisoners released, and public prop
erty was wantonly damaged. May the
days of the drunken rabble in Ameri-
ca never return.

NEWSY NOTES
FROM XDGWIM
CO. HIGH SCHOOL

The latest news from the basket
ball field relates to our trip to Ster-
ling. Both teams went there on last
Friday, with high hopes and a large
supply Of self-confidence Sad to say.
however, we were forced to come home
with the little end of the score from
both games. Nevertheless. our girls
did remarkably well considering condi-
tions under which the game WAS play
ed. They had to become accustomed
to an entirely new set of rules, as the
Sterling team plays on three court
floor. At the end of the game the
score stood "a to IL in Sterling's ia
vor. which was not half bad in COM
parison to the boys luck. They came
out of the fray with only nine points
to fifty for Sterling. Just the same,
their game was snappy one and well
played. We surely appreciate the
hospitable way in which we were
treated while in Sterling, and expect
to extend the same courtesies to their
team next Saturday.
Last Thursday the annual Mothers
luncheon was given by the Senior Do
mestic Science girls. The high school
drawing room was tastefully decorat-
ed in yellow and white. with pretty
place cards at each plate. The lunch
con itself was delicious and was we'll
served, and was pronounced a decided
success by the all the mothers pres
ent.
Friday was visiting day for the high
school faculty and vacation day for the
students. The entire faculty went to
Sterling to see what they could leafh
about teaching from the methods in
use there. incidentally they were
present at the game Friday evening
and lent their voices to the cause of
S. c. H. s.
Some disturbance was caused Mon
day morning by misunderstanding
about which time the school was run
ming on. The majority of the students
and faculty came according to the old
time, but found themselves an hour
late, school proceeding as usual with
one teacher and about six pupils. Now
that we are becoming accustomed to
daylight-saving, however, it is not
quite so hard to get here at what
would ordinarily be seven A. NJ.
A double header basket ball game
will be played at Holyoke next Friday
as a return game for the one they
played here. Fond wishes for the best
the prairie, and we expect them to
come home with the scalps of the
enemy.
One of the biggest events of the
high school basket ball season will be
staged in the gymnasium net Satur-
day and large crowd is sure to be
out to witness it. The Sidney girls
