SCHEIDEMANN SAYS GERMANY
WILL NOT SIGN PEACE TREATY

Berlin, May 14.-The declaration
by Chancellor Scheidemann in the ma
tional assembly today that the peace
terms were Unacceptable" brought
the members of the assembly, the
spectators and those in the press gal
lery to their feet in hurricane of
cheers and applause.
The chancellor reached the climax
Of his statement on the peace terms
ten minutes after he begun.
The chancellor paused in his ad-
dress and then thundered out the
word which announced the German
governments rejection of the Yer
sailles condition.
With the exception of the inde-
pendent socialists, led by Hugo
Haase, all factions in the assembly
arose and cheered vociferously. The
assembly is sitting temporarily : in
the assembly hall of the University
of Berlin on Utter den Linden.
After the chancellor's speech the
leaders of the various parties with
the exception of the Raase group,
made speeches in which they de-
clared they backed up the govern
ment.
The chancellor described the peace
treaty as dreadful and murderous'
document. He said it would make an
enormous Jail Of Germany in which
sixty million persons would have to
labor for the victors in the war. The
chancellor said German trade would
be strangled should the peace terms

OF RETURNED SOLDIERS. MAY 80

Plentywood will celebrate the re-
turn Of all the county soldiers in a
most fitting manner Memorial day
MAY 30th), which has been set
aside by our government in honor OF
our soldiers, both those we have
honored for years and those who
have recently ta.sen part in the world
war.
Perhaps at times these boys have
felt that we who stayed at home
have not appreciated what they have
done nor realized the sacrifices which
they have made, many of them max
ing the supreme sacrifice, and all of
them more than willing, yes, eager,
to make the supreme sacrifice eff
necessary to uphold the traditions of
our country. HowevetS Memorial
Day, a demonstration will be made
that the boys may know that we have
not forgotten them, that we are
proud of them and their victories AMI
mourn for those who will never re-
turn.
The Sheridan Red Cross Chapter
has arranged the program for the
day, and all the leaders of the
various branches of the county and
anyone connected with sthe Red Cross
are asked to see that all returned
soldier boys are notified and arrange
ments made for free transportation
for them from all points to Plenty

FACTS AND FANCIES
ABOUT THE PHILIPPINES
(By Maximo Kalaw, Secretary of the
Philippine Mission)

(By Maximo Kalaw, Secretary of the
Philippine Mission)
Washington, May ia certain
lady at the st. Louis Exposition saw
at ball room a brown complexioned
man clad in faultless evening dress,
and accosted him with the inquiry,
81 suppose you are Japanese, sir?"
The man addressed replied, "No,
madam"
"Then you must be Chinese" she
said.
"No, I am not; I am Filipino .
he replied.
"How's that" asked the lady. 81
thought they were all savages iv-
ing in the woods"
"Well, I'll tell you how came
here" he said. "a month before I
left the Philippines I was living in
the woods, but the American Gov
ernor decided to catch as many wild
men as possible, train them, and send
them over here. So the American
forces were Immediately set in mo-
tion, we were taken from the woods
and kept for a month at the Govern
or's palace, taught how to dress and
speak little English, and then sent
over here. So here I am, just as you
see." And the st. Louis lady actual
Ily believed him.
That is what you would call fan
cies about the Philippines. The fact
is, however, that the 1U,000,0o0 Fill
pinos and their ancestors have been
CIVILIZED and Christians for three
hundred years; that the non-Chris-
ton population, according to the
census of 1918, is only 100000.
Another fancy is that not until the
coming of the Americans were school
buildings seen in the Islands, roads
built, or substantial houses erected.
Do you know that for hundreds of
years the Filipinos have had colleges
and schools, and that the University
of Santo Tomas is only twenty-five
years older than Harvard? That as
early as 1866, out of a population of
100000 people, there were 841
schools for boys and 833 for girls :?
That in 1892, eight years before the
coming of the Americans, there were
2,137 schools?
"To rant self-government to Lu-
zon under Aguinaldo would be like
putting eaNeacWe bit Tv.m
granting self-government to an
Apache reservation under some To-
cal chief" Thus spoke a former
President of the Unitde States dur
in the Filipino-America war. Exag-
geration could be an excuse at a time
when the dignity of the American
people demanded the extinction of
Filipino opposition; but do you know
that the Philippine Republic before
the American occupation of the
Islands, had the approval of promin-
ent Americans who were on the spot,
like John Barrett, Director of the
Pan-American Union, who compared
it favorably with the japanese Gov
eminent? That Admiral Dewey con-
sidered Filipinos more fitted for self
government than the Cubans? That
The producers news. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1918-1937, 1919-05-16

| they had drafted Constitution al
Malolos which elected the approval
of distinguished Republicans like the
late Senator George F. Hoar. That
before the coming of the Americans
they had produced national heroes
like the martyred Jose Rial, who
has been proclaimed by an Austrian
writer, Ferdinand Blumentritt, as
the greatest man the Malayan race
has produced, and pronounced by a
Republican Congressman, Represen-
tative Cooper, as the noblest victim
that has ever fallen into the clutches
of tyranny.
Possibly the geographical situa-
tion of the Philippines had some
thing to do with the faIciful esti-
mate the st. Louis lady had. The
Philippines are just next door to
Borneo, where scientists have hunted
in vain for Darwin's missing link be-
tween the monkey and the super
monkey. They are close to Java,
where the small country of Holland
has ruled for hundreds of years
through a system of native princes
and royal families stepped in medi-
aeval ideas of government. Farther
east is India with her teeming mil
lions, divided up into scores of native
states and by almost impossible
caste barriers. But do you know
that the Filipinos have not had for
hundreds of years any caste system,
blood distinction, or royal families,
and that, unlike their Oriental sis
ters, they are the only Christian
people in the Orient?
People have pictured an ignorant
mass of Filipinos, illiterate, poor, iv-
ing a life of servitude for few
wealthy landowners and foreigners,
with no houses and farms or proper
ty of their own. Do you know that
seventy per cent Of the people above
ten years of age can read and write,
and that this percentage of literacy
is almost as high as some of the
States of the Union? That it is high
err than in any country of South
America, higher than the literacy of
the Spanish people, and unquestion-
ably above that of any of the new
countries recognized in Europe. Do
you know that there are a million
and a half farms in the Philippines,
and that ninety-six per cent of these
farms are owned by Filipinos? In
other words, that out of the ten mill
lion Christian. Filipinos, eight mil
lion of them at least live on their
own farms, with houses of their own,
Independent of any absentee landlord
or foreign master? That ninety-one
per cent of the urban property con-
sisting of houses and lands is owned
by the natives of the Philippines,
and only nine per cent in the hands
of foreigners Yet these are facts
which have just been cabled by Act
ing Governor-General Charles En-
met Yeater to the War Department
from the recent census estimates.

the peace treaty. In addition to the
SIX minor members of the delega-
ton who left Versailles for Berlin
last week, two of the more prominent
members, Herren Geisberts and
Landsberg, have gone, evidently with
the purpose of comforting with the
German overnment.
From Germany came reports of
continued dissatisfaction over the
terms. Reiteration that it will be
impossible to carry out the provl-
sions are to be heard everywhere.
Ebert Stands ''On II Points"

German government troops are

Just One Choice


Berlin, Monday, May 13.-(By the
Associated Press)-"Even if import
ant changes are not made by the ne
gotiations begun at Versailles, there
remains no choice but to bow to
compulsion and sign the treaty" says
an appeal of the central committee
Of the Independent Social party in
the party organ, Die Freiheit, this
morning.
"Not signing" continues the ap-
peal, "means the retention of our
prisoners of war, the occupation of
our raw material districts, the tight
ening of the blockade, memploy-
ment, hunger and death en- masse. Il
is the proletariat that would suffer
the most terribly from the conse-
quences.
"Peace, as hard and as oppressive
as it may be, is a necessary assump-
ton for the possibility of rebuilding
our social and economic life in the
spirit of the revolutionary prole-
tariat"
The appeal is prefaced by a de-
nunciation of the severity Of the
peace terms. It concludes with a
demand that the workmen of all
countries unite against capitalism
for a world revolution.

Lord Haldane was recently quoted
in the London Times as saying:
"The worst feature of the present
situation is that the working classes
refuse to believe anything we tell
them.
When asked his opinion about this,
John Galsworthy, a well-known Eng
ish writer of some vision who is
now visiting America, said:
81 should say that is probably
true. It may not apply to the trades
union leaders, but the the rank and
file-yes. It is a curious nemesis
that a press which has led the peo-
pie for centuries, or at least decades,
should, come to this"
IL we look around a little we can
see the same thing is true of Ameri-
ca. The papers which have cried
"Wolf, Wolff when there was no
wolf, have thoroughly discredited
themselves. Nine persons out of ten
will now readily agree that not half
of what is found in the big press is
true. The big press still influences,
not because it is believed but be-
cause most of the common people
have little chance to hear anything
of the other side.
