Paris, March 17.-Threat of the immediate establishment of soviet republic and a concerted attack by 'he masses on Berlin was responsible for the decision of Dr. Wolfgang Kapp to resign as head of the revo- lutionary government in Berlin.

 Both the revolutionary faction and the depOsed Ebert cabinet are losing control of the political situation in chaotic Germany, according to Ger man advices by way of Berlin today. Von kapp at Berlin or Ebert at Stutt- gart are apparently unable to curb the turbulent elements of the re- public.

no doubt that will be the natural
outcome when YOU make known to me

things which deem necessary for

And Still They Come.

The Register last week printed four
fattering leap-year proposals that had
been received by its delighted editor.
The knowledge that he is on the
eligible list seems to have stimulated
others, and he is finding il increasing
ly difficult to make a selection. Just
read this one from a sweet little girl:

girl. felt so sorry for you when |

proposed to you. wish were big

you anyway. have always loved you
so much. think il would be real
nice to live with you. am too little
to marry you now, but won't you love
me? And then some day we could BE-
happy together. Please answer real
soon.
Your little friend,
DOLLY.
We shouldn't wonder il it would be
wise to wait for this affectionate little
sweetheart. Still, she is very young
and we are getting along, getting
along.
Here's another poetical effusion that
touches a tender spot in the editors
heart. We come mighty near sur
rendering to it. We like the hand
writing OF this letter, as we'll as the
sentiment:
Dear Mr.. Snyder
| don't know why love you
But do.
This world would be so lonely
Without you.
You're the sunshine of my heart
And from you I'd never part;
You're the apple Of my eye,
And for you I'd surely die.
One sweet kiss from you, pray,
How long for you each day;
Oh, dear one, for you | pine,
Won't you say that you'll be mine?
Your fond admirer,
MAGGIE.
Maggie, we are tempted to say yes
right away. But something tells US
not to be too hasty, so we will ask you

Lakota Without Seeking
Burtness To Make Him
Answer Personally To Him
As He Threatened.

Iakota, n. d.. June 9.-George
Wilson, one Of Townley's spcllbindcrs,
came to Lakota last night to debate
y. B. Burtness, Republican candidate
Tor congress. and he left here today
to continue his campaigning, a much
wiser man. for in his contest he
learned many things about the North
Dakota issues hat apparently he
didn't know before. From his stand
point, the debate was a pitiful affair,
and when he got the foor at 1925 p.
m. to answer Mr.. Burtness. he used
the entire ten minutes allotted him in
apo!ogizing. He apologized for Town
ley, for the N~onpartisan league and
for Upton Sinclair. When he wasn't
apologizing he was accusing Burtness
OF being unfair, simply because Burt
ness gave a very clear and very force
ful explanation of the state issues-an
explanation and a discussion that
proved popular with the audience.
When Mr.. Wilson opened his talk
last night he had a very receptive
audience. There were many leaguers
in the audience who applauded him

during his rebuttal speech with APP
plause. When he sat down at the end
there was a little applause, but just
the applause that would have been
given any speaker out of courtesy.
During his ten minute rebuttal there
were several waves OF laughter at an
occasional sally, vi it was laughter
OF derision and not appreciation.
Wilson's rebuttal speech made it
absolutely a Burtness meeting. 1t was
evident that it was a Burtness meet
ing long before Mr.. Burtness finished
speaking, but Wilson'S poor attempt
to make things right absolutely
switched all sympathy to the con-
gressional candidate.

So Apologist Wilson. who. despite
the fact thai he has no university or

V again to challenge Mr.. Burtness
for a debate on the state library stu.

man Wilson (this professor" by the
way, who says "he amt" and drug
through the streets" and them fell

language) left Lakota without seek
ing out Burtness and making him
answer personally for charges made
during the debate.
