We Eat Too Much. ,

Germany Won't Yield to Every Con-

Copenhagen, JAM. Count Won
Observation-Disclosures, the new Ger
man foreign minister, has issued a
statement outlining his policy, but
it has not yet reached Copenhagen.
From comment in the Tageblatt OF
Berlin, however, it appears that he
declared that Germany must not
yield to every peace condition her
opponents may wish to dictate. The
Tageblatt adheres to the minister 5
point of view, and says:
NO peace must be signed which
differs by the breadth of hair from
the principles of President Wilson S
fourteen points, which Germany has
accepted, and the Entente willingly,
Or unwillingly, has signed"
The Tageblatt then discusses Ger

says these were fed by fatal prop

war and led to the inevitable catas-
1T is necessary" the paper con-
tinues, ito avoid the self-deception
of which the minister speaks, but it
is not necessary to plunge madly in
to standardization. Half-hearted
weakness must leave the Entente to
see that the German people have no
will of their own and may bend I'M
der any yoke of slavery. Thus,
bereft OF its most valuable territories
Germany might be held down in con-
tinuous impotence.
I'VE regard it as urgently neces-

the world of her firm will and loyal

Want to Preach in German.

In commenting on a request from
parties in Creighton to the prosecut-
ing attorney of Cass county asking if,
now that the war is over, they may
be permitted to resume preaching in
the German language, the Cass Coun-
ty Democrat says:
"For one thing, the war may not
be said to be over, before the peace
terms are finally decided upon, and,
for another reason, there are those
in Cass county, some of whose sons
have sacrificed their lives, in defense
OF vtheiir country, who believe that
even the word of God, when couched
in the horrid language, in which was
plotted the hideous crimes of the
German Empire, including the deaths
of their loved ones, becomes but
blasphemy. The hated language that
gave birth to German "kultur," and
in which was first expressed the
policy of frightfulness, which includ-
ed the ripping of defenseless women,
and the murder of innocent babes,
should be left to the barbaric race
that owes allegiance to Germany. No
American citizen should pollute the
free air of his country with this Ian
guage of DAMNED slaves. 1t is
language of crime, of lies, of deceit,
and it is thoroughly discredited, as,
also, is that monstrous creature, the
German "Gott" evolved in the imag-
ination of the German leaders, which
was supposed to look with complais-
ance on the hellish and lustful raw
ages of the Huns, and to whom they
when they. were made to feel
the scourge of Justice.
ITO HELL with Germany, and,
also, to HELL with its language!'

High Spots in the Life of Theodore
Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt was born Oc-
tober 81. 1883.
As child he was understood, pale
and sickly. but because of an outdoor
life. into which he was led by his
parents, he grew to robust manhood
and became the greatest exponent OF
the strenuous life.
Despite the fact that Roosevelt was
known to science as an authority on
bird life and was a writer on wide
variety of subjects, his abilities as a
student were submerged by his love
for sport. He was graduated from
Harvard in 1880, twenty-second in
his class.
Roosevelt was married twice. His
first wife was Alice Hathaway Lee
of Boston. She died in 1884. He
was married in 1886 to Miss Edith
Kermit Carow. childhood sweet
heart This wedding took place in
England in the autumn of the year.
The second Mrs. Roosevelt survives.
Roosevelt was the prophet of the
Spanish American war. As assistant
secrctaryo of the navy he openly ex.>
pfessed his conviction that affairs in
Cuba were. such that Intervention on
~ Island by the United States was
inevitAble.
Fame came to Roosevelt in the war,

ed so that the Minute Women of the

the close of the Victory loan. The
letter is as follows:
Dear Madam Chairman-Al-
though the returns from our Liberty
loan chairmen in districts and states
are by no means complete those re-
ceived so far show that for the fifth
time the Liberty Loan committees
have another notable victory to their
credit.
81 have said that our state chair
men are the keystone of our Liberty
loan arch, and that you county
chairmen are the foundation upon
which the arch rests--over three
thousand, able, tireless and devoted
women in every corner of the United
States, captains of uncounted forces,
directing, all told, the activities of
more than a million Liberty hoan
saleswomen.
"For myself and on behalf of the
National Woman's Liberty Loan com
mittee | extend congratulations for
your notable service to your coun
try, not only in the Victory cam
paign just ended, but in the other
campaigns that you so ably waged
during the 'dark days of the war.
You have our appreciation and our
heartfelt thanks.
81 wish you might know what it
means to me to have worked with
the Woman's Liberty Loan COM
mittees. 1t has been the greatest
experience of my life.
with all good wishes, | am,

MAYOR W.L.SAx
RESIGNS OFFICE.
HAS SERVED AS CITY MAYOR
OVER FIVE YEARS--HELD
OTHER OFFICES
Changes in Abstract Companies
Cause Of Resignation--Henry r.
Spedden Has New Work

After serving the city of COlville
for five and a half years as it's
mayor, two years as councilman,
three years on the school board,
two years as president Of the Cham
ber of Commerce, and 20 years as
U. S. weather observer, Mayor w.
L. Sax Tuesday night resigned his
office as mayor, the resignation to
take effect June II. Mr.. Sax Of
fered as his reason for resigning
that he was about to assume added
work which will take all of his
time.
After June Is, Mr.. Sax will act as
president and have charge of the
records of the Stevens County Abb
stract Co., while L. E. Jesseph will
be manager in charge of the abb
stracting. Mr.. Sax and Mr.. Jes-
seph will continue the Colville Alb
stract Co. work as well as the Ste
vens County Abstract company.
Henry R. Spedden, of the Stevens
County Abstract company, leaves
that office for new work June Is.
As mayor, Mr.. Sax has made a
record for faithful work and loyal
service for the city Of Colville.
During the past few years, in this
office, he has had to work against
unsurmountable difficulties caused
by wartime conditions. The city
revenue was practically the same as
it was several years ago, while the
cost of materials and labor had in
creased approximately $50 and the
wear and tear on city streets through
increased automobile traffic had be-
come twice as great.
During the war improvement
plans had to be dropped so that all
money and energy could be expend-
ed in bringing it to successful con-
clusion. Expecting better conditions
at it's close, the mayor and other
city officials kept an optimistic out
look, but old H. C. L. seems to be
still with us, and Mayor Sax ad-
mits that he has become rather tired
Of trying to explain to people that
it's hard to make one dollar do the
work of two.
Mr.. Sax was first elected mayor
of Colville in 1910 and served for
two years. He was again made
mayor in 1916 and has served con-
tinuously until the present time.
He did not desire the office at the
last election and did not file, but
was elected by the voters just the
same.
