mann, have not yet made
up their minds.
This information was furnished to-
day by leader of the German demo-
cratic peace party, who insisted that
a cabinet crisis is imminent. From
other sources it was learned il is
strongly possible that the present
government will be replaced within
few days by an Erzberger-Richt-
hofen ministry, which will sign the
peace treaty.
The division in the cabinet on the
treaty is as follows;
For signing; Dr. Matthias Erzber-
ger, minister without portfolio and
head of the German armistice com
mission; War Minister Noske: Ed
uard David, minister without portfo-
liO; Herr Schmidt and Herr Bell.
Against signing: Minister of Com
merce Sandsberg; Minister of Posts
Geisberg; Herr Gothen and Foreign
Minister Won Brockdorff Rantzau.
Undecided: Premier Scheidemann,
DR.. Dernberg; Minister of Justice;
Preuss; Herr Wissell and Minister Of
Labor Bauer.
Baron RichthOfen, who may form
the new cabinet, with DR.. Erzberger
and sign the treaty, held a conference
with members of the Scheidemann
cabinet this morning.
while the entente ultimatum is
most severe, our only course is to
sign" he said. "A renewal of the al
lied blockade would bring Bolshevism
and complete chaos in a few days.
If we sign We gain time which is to
our advantage. Sentiment against en-
forcing the treaty is certain to sweep
the entente countries within a few
months. Then Germany will get bet
ter conditions"
To Arrest Hun Leaders.
Paris. June 19.--If the alliu are
compelled TO invade Germany one of
the first measures taken will be to
round up and arrest those leaders re-
sponsibIe for the war in the first
place, as well as the leaders who
opposed signing the treaty and who
countenanced violence and resistance.
This was learned today from an au-
thoritatiye source.
Troops In Advance.
London, June 19.-The Evening
News this afternoon declares that the
army which will start the invasion
of Germany at dawn next Tuesday,
unless the Germans sign the peace
terms, is composed of twenty-five
French divisions, ten British divisions
six American divisions and six Bel
gian divisions.

State authorities are preparing

not completed in time to permit the

Orders have been received by all
owners of houseboats and other
craft to move them at once in prep

TO permit further dredging. With one
or two exceptions boats have moved
TO new landings north of the Joliet

Use Canal for Freight.

1t is the intention of the state de-
partment having in charge the con
structiOn of the deep waterway un-
der the measure just passed by the
state legislature to utilize the canal
as an important adjunct to the
deeper channel. Much of the ma
terial needed in the construction of
the new waterway will be shipped
on the canal after the work of con
struction has been completed
An appropriation of $150O00 was
voted by the last session Of the leg
islature for dredging the canal, in
stalling new locks where needed and
making other repairs. Some dredg-
ing was done at points where the
shallowest channel was evident, it
being expected it would be possible
to utilize the waterway during the
latter part of the GUNNER for freight
barges. However, the first trip made
by the Norton salt fleet resulted dis.
astrOusly, one of the barges spring
leak and sinking. Considerable eX.
pense was incurred in salvaging the
cargo and again loading the barge
Then the discovery was made the
craft drew too much water to enter

the full extent of the benefits they receive under
our form of government, these aliens become
prejudiced against the republic. The full horror
of the bolshevist rule in Russia and the conse-

these deluded people. If they really knew what
good things America is doing for them and what
dire suffering bolshevism entails, they of their

Strickland Gillian on Facts

Strickland Gillian, a household name in Rich
nlond, has one of his inimitable bits of writing
in a current issue of Farm Life. He is writing
about facts, ordinarily events that we see with
our own eyes, and tells us how difficult it is to
reproduce these facts accurately and honestly.
Many people, Gillian maintains, handle facts
as if they were the most commonplace thing on
earth. They make bold assertions and wild con-
lectures insisting that they facts, whereas
III reality there is nothing on which to base the
assertions. Most of the wild rumors floating
around day by day have their origin in this weak
ness of human nature.
Rumor and gossip factories work overtime to
turn out yarns, which gullible persons accept as
truths, without the slightest investigation on
their part, effort to ascertain if they
repeating the truth reproducing exaggera-
ton. This prompts Gillian to remark that
honest-to-goodness facts are scarcer than pullet-
iangs."
Il do not mean the facts themselves" says
Gillian, "for nature is just Uttered with facts,
all over the place.
q refer to facts as matters Of definite human
knowledge I have done newspaper work and
tried with all my might, as far more newspaper
men try than you would think from reading what
they write, to get facts.
Il have been told things that sounded re-
trarkable and I have started out to reduce the
2'umors to facts. Sometimes the tiny little shred
which the whopper was based was so ptifully
small have wept over it.
And even then was not sure the thing had

ton between the dogs respective but not mutual

"If You will quickly lead each of that dozen to
quiet spot and interview him on that dog fight
with the conversation prelude accompaniment,
and postlude, you will get exactly one dozen YER
aions of it. Besides your own. For you saw it
too and are surprised to see how badly mistaken
each Of the dozen persons are as to some Of the
salient portions Of the event.
"Now that is only one little commonplace fact
