Encouragement G. H. Dillon, who
is an Independent candidate for con-
gressman from this district has chal-
lenged his opponent, Congressman
Christopherson. to ten joint discuss
sions. The subjects proposed for de-
bate are: Our legislative records in
this state; Our congressional records;
The specific principles for which we
respectively stand; Our individual
loyalty. to our government. The third
topic might be of some interest to the
public, but the other three are simply
designed to be self laudatory and the
people will care very little about
them. Mr.. Dillon feels that he did
not have fair chance at the last pr.
maries when he was defeated by Mr..
Christopherson as the flu was raging
and the vote was light Unfortu-
nately the flu is again raging.

Rev. DIR. C. E Coles gave moot
interesting talk 10 the students and
faculty of the University in chapel on
Thursday morning. The subject of
the lecture was "South Africa and
Its Peoples" DR. Coles proved to
be very charming and forceful
speaker and mixed in many humorous
incidents with his clear outlines of
African peoples and the broader geo
graphical divisions of the country.
The lecturer likened the shape Of
the continent of Africa to the shape
of the negro's skull. The continent
may be divided into three large geo.
graphical divisions. First. the north
ern countries including Egypt. the
cradle OF our present civilization
Second. the great middle belt extend.
ing for hundreds of miles on each side
of the equator and, third. that por-
ton of the continent known as South
Africa.
| Since the early part of the nine.
teenth century South Africa has seen
an influx of white settlers. The Hol-
landers coming first absorbed the
French Hugenots who followed in
their wake. The amalgamation OF
these two peoples gave to the worlc
the Boer. German soldiery settled
East Africa and the British took what
was left.
In the course of his lecture, DR..
Coles gave sketches Of South African
life and by his humor and whimsical
touches succeeded in winning owe,
his audience completely. The mar
rage customs of the Khaffirs were
dwelt upon with wittv touches here
and there. "Divorce, said DR..
Coles, sis practically unknown. y

The London Telegraph says:

It is true the League Of Nations
exists by the terms of the treaty. but
the world knows that unless the Unit

of the usefulness and moral authority
it should possess will belong to it. =
In other words the European coun-
tries had relied upon America to Dc
nine tenths of the work of enforcing
the treaty. That being the case this
country is very wise in insisting upon
the right to determine how far we
are willing to be used in this work.
But why lie it that America would
bring to the treaty nine tenths of its
moral authority? It is because Amer
lea has always stood for principle.
for right and justice. If we join the
League of Nations we must continue
to follow these principles. aud deter
mine our course by the necessities Of
each case as it arises. This we can
not do if we accept the treaty as ORR
ginally drawn and pledge ourselves to
follow the course dictated by the

Grey, former British ambassador to
this country, recently visited America
aud came in personal touch with pub
lie sentiment here. In letter to the
London Times written since his return
he justifies the Lodge reservations
viewed from an American standpoint,
and says that Great Britain can afford
to accept any reservations that Amer
lea may make. j. L. Garvin, one Of
the ablest British commentators of
international affairs, thinks the res
ervations should be accepted, and
points out that Great Britain might
equalize matters by adopting reserva-
tions of her own. This would be sat-
isfactory to Americans for we ask
nothing for ourselves that we are not
willing to grant to other countries.
President Wilson has refused to agree
to any modification of the treaty be-
cause he says he signed the original
document thus promising the allies
that they would be accepted by the
United States. BY what authority
did he make such a promise? He
knew that the treaty must be ratified
by the senate. and he had been given
no assurance that such q treaty would
be acceptable. Moreover the allies
all knew that his promise was subject
to the approval or rejection of the
senate go there is no violation of any
agreement on the part of this govern
ment in the adoption of reservations.
The assurances now coming that the
reservations will be acceptable to the
allies knocks the foundation from tile

an increase for the week of 461 mil-
lions, other discounts on hand, an in
crease of Ss.5 millions, and acceptance
holdings an increase of O.6 million. A
decline of PIT millions in treasury
certificates on hand represents the
amount of special certificates retired
by the treasury during the week. These
certificates are held to cover advances
to the government pending the collec-
tion of funds from depositary insti-
tutions. Total earning assets are
shown 114.6 millions larger than the
week before.
"Of the 1878 millions of paper Sc
cured by United States war obligations
611.8 millions, or 48 per cent, were Sc
cured by Liberty bonds; 1888 millions,

Following the collection of the large
volume of checks and drafts received
by the government in payment of June
15 taxes and credited to it's deposit
account by the Federal Reserve banks,
the "foat" carried by the reserve
banks and treated as deduction from
gross deposits, shows a deduction Of
9l.6 millions. The result Of the above
change is seen in an increase of 104.6
millions in calculated net deposits.
The statement for the first time
shows the reserve percentages for each
Federal Reserve bank. These per-
centages &c range between minimum of
1872 per cent for the New York bank
and a maximum of 568 per cent for
