l.. Young, county, chairman, and ..

that everyone has been made famil.

amount Is anticipated.
In order that there may be no mis-
understanding as to the attitude of
the He'd Cross toward this campaign,
Judge N. G. Young Of Fargo, state
director of Red Cross work in North
Dakota, has issued a public statement
in which he says:
"The relation Of the Red Cross to-
the Armenian and Syrian relief com
mittee which is opening its campaign
for funds is one of close cooperation.
This committee is taking care of
stricken districts which, are not Gov.
ever by the Red Cross.
The distress in these districts is,
beyond description. The thousands
who have already perishedAis stag

die front want unless we help them.
The Red Cross has shown it's conf

tive ability of the committee during
the last eighteen months by contrib
uting to it IL million dollars A
fund of at least $30,O00,000 Is needed

After many years South Dakota
seems in fair way "A clear up all
court actions against former state
treasurers for interest collected on
state funds. Treasurers put this in
terest money into their own pockets,
not only in South Dakota, but in Wis.
consin and other states. Wisconsin
went through much the same expe.
rience that South Dakota is now hav-
ing. There was no law against the
practice in either state until recent
years and no criminal action could be
brought.
The supreme court of the United
States has upheld the judgment for
$4,000, which was collected as inter
est by G. B. Collins while he was
treasurer of South Dakota for the four
years 1903-06 inclusive. Interest due
on this interest is figured at about
$25, 900, making $57 900 which Mr.. Col
Inns is now ordered to pay. II he fails
to do so actions will be brought
against his bondsmen.
Suits have been brought against
three other former treasurers of tho
state. The statute of limitations kill
ed the action against Kirk G. Phillips.
Former Treasurer c.: H. Cassill was
able to settle with the state for the
principal alone, because he failed to
sign his bond and it was regarded
doubtful If action for further recov-
cry could be carried through to sue
cess. Suit against former Treasurer
John Schamber has been awaiting the
result Of the Collins case and he can
now prepare for the worst.
Mr.. Collins lived in Minneapolis
several years after his term of office
had expired. At present he is said to
be living in California. His South
Dakota home was at Groton, which
has had a state office about one-third
of the elapsed time since statehood.
Mr.. Collins had four years as treas
urer, J. D. Reeves served four years
as state auditor, and the first of the
present year Jay Reeves, his son,
became auditor by election in 1918.

this should be Forthcoming from some

!, Edwin c. Torrey of the Minneapolis
Journal, one of the most astute po-
litical prognosticators in the north
west, sizes up the South Dakota stu
alton as follows in his column: Z
The Nonpartisan league is founder
ing in South Dakota. The split there
lantedates that in, North Dakota, but
lis not SO spectacular because the
league is only minority organiza-
ton in the Sunshine state. Y
South Dakota was strong for farmer
political movements long before Mr..
|Townley was ever heard Of. Some of
the leaders in the old populist and
alliance days are still on earth, and
are too hard-headed and experienced
to give in their allegiance blindly to
the Townleys, the Mills and the Lem
kes of the modern day crusade. They
want to be shown, and above all they
insist on self determination and
home rule. They are not ready to turn
over everything to TOWnley and fall
down and worship.
The home rulers, led by such men
as J. E. Kelley and Henry W. Smith,
have seeded from the Townley league
and are organizing a separate league.
They have paper atSioux Falls and
plan to extend their campaign work
all through the year. Mr.. Kelley was
a member of congress, having been
elected in 1896 by the peoples
partly. Mr.. Smith ran for congress as
an Independent in 1891 and was de-
feated by less than 5000 votes by
John l.. Jolley, the republicans candi-
date. recent communication
printed in the Sioux Falls Press, Mr..
Kelley says:
I'VE can never win with Townley
and Lemke in South Dakota. Three
hundred thousand dollars was expend-
ed in this state in the last campaign
the members of the Legislature More
money was used than was used by all
the political parties in this state the
last Is years, and look at the paltry
results.
: "Townley swore in court that he
did not own the newspapers and
stores. Bupt he admitted to me that
he did own the newspapers with two
other men. One of the other men has
since died, and information comes that
his ownership in the newswpawpers is
now denied to his wodow.
Who owns the stores? The farm
ers, whose money built them or paid
for them, certainly not. Townley
had the company incorporated by a
set Of straw directors. His private
secretary, Mr., HerDert O'Leary, is
one of them. Others are a Mr. Elliott
and>a Mr.. Keck, as / remember them.
Why was, this done? Because of tae

presume. Why should not the farm

them? They would, II everything was

Red Cross Doing Good
Work For Flu Patients

When it comes to a quick call for
the services of nurse, there is no red
tape at Red Cross headquarters In the
post office building There is no parley
as to what can be paid for such SER
vices or whether the Red Cross shall
pay the nurse. Immediately upon re-
ceipt of the call for help, Mrs. Harold
/. Pitchford, now in charge Of Red
Cross headquarters, at once gets into
communication with nurse and within
an hour or so those in distress have
the services first of a trained nurse
and later one that can be assigned for
regular duty.
Mrs. Agnes Brown, graduate nurse
Of Seattle, is here working in the ser.
vices Of the Red Cross. AS soon as calls
are made to Mrs. Brown at the Marion
hotel or to Red Cross headquarters,
Mrs. Brown at once gives her personal
attention to the house and arranges
for the services of a nurse.
After the nurse is on the job and
giving attention, the question is TAX
en- up as to whether the family is FL
nancially able to pay for services If
not, the Red Cross stands the expense.
But the big service of the Red Cross in
the present emergency has been in get
ting nurses Immediately on the job aad
letting the question of finances be set
tied after the influenza patient has
received first careful attention.

Paris, Jan. 1S.--Australia, as a free
and independent nation, has its own
peace demands for consideration at the
conferences, Premier Hughes declared
today in an interview with the United
Press.
Australia considers that it won its
Independence on the battle field and
politically 1t stands now where the
United States stood at the end Of the
revolution. 1t is in this spirit that il
enters tho peace conferences with its
own program.
Recognition of the British dominions
by the peace congress marks the dawn
of new era, the premier believes. Ii
is taken to mean that the world rec
ognizes Australia, Canada, South Afri-
ca, New Zealand and India as auto
nomous nations, tied only by sentiment
to the motherland.
"0ur fighting record surpasses that
of any other nation he asserted.
T" Now VIC want self determination.
Australia, Hughes made plain,
throws its cards face upward on the
peace table. His country, he said. be-
ing most democratic and firm foe of
secret diplomacy, frankly and openly
makes public its aims and desires in
the great settlement
Austraia's Demands
Hughes announced Australia win de-
mand;
Indemnities; the Islands Of New Gui-
nea, league of nations with certain
restrictions; military support to Poland
if that country is threatened; O hear
ing on all questions concerning Europe
or the Far East.
Australia, he declared, will oppose;
Freedom Of tho seas, if that means
taking Britain's supremacy from her;
any restrictions ON the right of making
whatever economic arrangements she
pleases; and further Intervention in
Russia.
Australia, said Hughes, "fcels
that she stands politically today pret-
ty much where the United States stood

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Paris, Jan. 1s,--The first sitting Of
the peace congress today found Presi-
dent Wilson partially victorious in the
fight for recognition Of his first prin-
|ciple--" open covenants, openly arrived

Today s peace conference sitting was
planned as a formal affair with an inn
posing turnout of troops, impressive
ceremonies and keynote speech by
President Poineare. "A
President Wilson s vigorous fight for
an open conference was backed by the
universal stand Of the American cor
respondents. He was finally successful
in securing a rule whereby a limited
number Of newspapermen would be per.
mitted at the full sittings. The situa-
tion as it stood today was similar to
that in the United States senate, where
reporters are allowed to hear all pro-
ceedings except committee meetings
and executive sessions.
