League Of Nations In its present form
has been estimated at ffly-fve, the
exact number Of the Signers OF t776.
However tbs may be, the pledged
names read in the Senate chamber
by Senator Lodge on the eve OF Presl-
dent Wilson's second departure for
Europe are numerically more than
sufficient even without accessions TO
prevent the ratification Of any treaty
into which President Wilson's efforts
shall have woven a covenant OF sur
render OF any part OF that American
independence which the Signers OF
the earlier declaration proclaimed and
obtained for our Republic.
This Is the central fact OF the situ-
alton. It's importance cannot be blink
ed. The pledged names OF March 3
stand as an insperable obstacle TO the
rel nquishment by treaty OF any part
Of that independence Of foreign contral
which the Slgners OF i776 declared, to
the impairment in any respect OF
American sovereignty, TO the abandon-
ment in any deg ee Of the American
policy comprehended in the Monroe
Doctrine.
To the courage and foresight Of
these s gnefs OF 1919 all honor and all
gratitude. They and those who will
Join them are confirming and safe
guarding that same sacred principle
which their illustrious predecessors de-
clared and rlsked their lives to estsb-
lish.

Financial Condition
Of Germany Set Forth
at National Assembly

Weimar, April 10.-Germany's
financial condition was set forth by
Minister Of Finance Schiller today
in addressing the national assembly
on the budget for 1919. Treasury
bills on January 81, said the min
lister, amounted to 58,300,000, 900
marks and have since raised to g.
700000,000 marks. The expendi-
ture for the army and navy had
fallen from 3,5OO,OO0,OO0 marks in
January to 2,OOO,0OO,0O0 marks in
March.
The budget, the minister stated,
balanced at roughly $4,000, 100000
marks, which meant an addition Of
5,700,000000 marks as compared
with last year, and the deficit would
not be less than $500, 100000 marks.
DR.. Schiller said the budget did
not represent all the consequences
of the war, such as indemnities pay
able to the entente. He made an
urgent appeal for economy, but said
that one unavoidable item of ad-
ditional expenditures was 1000, 0O0,-
600 marks, representing increases of
salary for officials, this being rem
dered necessary by the increased
cost of living.

CHOICE TRACT
TO Be PLATED
FOR new HOMES
Eighty Acres Near Field Club
Sold to Standard Develop
ment Company; Will
Be Improved.

Harry Wolf has sold for c. N.
Dietz, 80 acres of ground, west of
the Field club. to the Standard De-
velopment company, which is one of
the H. A. Wolf holding companies.
The consideration is about $4,000.
The land is divided into two 40
acre tracts, one now adjoining the
Field club on the west and facing
south on Center street. the other 40
is on Forty-eighth and Pacific
streets, and is plated and known
as Stoepel Place.
There are 800 lots in that addi-
ton, lying high and slightly; has no
improvements on it at all at the
present time, except new church,
built few years ago upon Forty
fifth street and Poppleton avenue.
Engineers Making Survey.
Mr.. Wolf is having engineers
make the proper surveys right now,
and plans to replat the addition in
line with the contour of the ground
instead of the straight and narrow
lines that is now plated; will do all
grading, put in sidewalks, sewers,
water, gas and electricity, pave the
streets, and make that a. very desir-
able addition for popular priced
homes. 1t is within the two-mile
circle of the postoffice, right on
the street line, and considered a
very desirable and choice spot for
modest homes. y -.
As soon as the plans for the grad
ing and improvements are ready,
the lots will be placed on sale on
very easy terms to people who want
to build their homes.
To Build 100 Homes.
The Messrs. John and Allan Nc
Donald, architects, are now making
sketches for the H. A. Wolf compa-
ny, who will at once proceed to
erect on the addition at least 100
homes, which will be offered for
sale at popular prices and on easy
payments.
Harry Wolf believes that this pur-
chase puts him in lead against Har-
ry Turkey in competition as to
whether Wolf can purchase more
property than Turkey can sell.
