Answers to the Questlonnaires have

them are from well-satlsfled farmers
having no suggestions to make. the
officials, show the major complaints
Of the farmers In numerical order to
be:
Inability to obtain labor to work

ers' children having been lired to the
city by higher wages and easier lIv-

High profits taken by mIddiemen

Seminole Indians Taken
uudsr UnJAe Samis VIM
In Florida Everglades

In the least known wilderness Of
America, the Everglades Of Florida.
where no white man can nnd his way
unguided. 600 full-blooded Seminole
Indians have at last been officially
discovered" Ever since the Indian
war In 1872 the Indians in Florida
have not been recognized BY the gov.
ernment or the state. They were sup
posed to have been removed to west
ern reservations or hunted and shot by
white traders who coveted their land.
But remnant Of the great Seminole
tribe persisted In Florida. eluding the
government agents and retrenting foot
by foot before white people who claim
ed to have purchased their lands. till
they finally made their homes In the
maze Of unexplored swamps. studded
with thousands Of luxuriously vege-
tated Islands. which form the Ever
giades. The government finally has
been persuaded to grant them 100000
acres Of land for an Indian reservation
under an Indian commissioner.
The Seminoles live in an absolutely
primitive stats. IN matched huts. They
are afraid Of the eamera. they wonder
ct the telephone. the automobile. the
train and the eommonest eonveaiencsA
They are suspicious Of the white man
Ind his government. Yet when on oc-
casional trips to the villages they
learned Of the war with Germany they
showed themselves no slackerS.
They are . remnant Of . few thou
sand Seminoles who disappeared Into
the Everglades when the government
agents started to move them west.

CONSENT IN TREATY
QUESTION RAISED REGARDING
COURT LACKING AMERICAN

Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Berlin, Saturday, Jan. 12.-Germans
are urged to turn over former En-
peror William for trial by the allies
In resolutions adopted at public
meeting Of the New Fatherland
League here.
I'm signing the tteaty Of Versailles" :"
the resolutions said. Germany con-
scented to the trial Of William II. It
is, therefore. the duty Of the German
people to execute the treaty, and every
attempt to prevent procedure against
the former kaiser must be branded as
a political crime"
Parls.-At q conference Of allied
legal experts to consider plans for the
trial Of the former kaiser OF Germany
the point was raised TINT the non-
ratification by the United States Of
the treaty Of Versailles created dif-
hculty which must be solved. The
treaty says the "allied and associated
powers" will arrnign William II Of
Hohenzoilern for the supreme offense
against international morality. There
fore, inasmuch ~ ''the allied and as
ISOLATED powers" have put the treaty
into effect, 1t In considered Us beyond
question that they can demand extra
dltion from Holland. But the treaty
specifies that the former kaiser is to
be tried by 4 court composed Of five
Judges, one appointed by each Of the
following pOwess: The United States
Of AmeFica, 0esaf Bf5eain, Fraheos
Italy and Japan" Thus the question
Of the legal powers Of such court
lacking the American member arises.
This is very similar to the question
Of the legality Of the Rhlneland com
mission without an American member.
This was solved by simply Omitting
the American from the commission
until America shall have ratified.
Probably u similar decision may be
taken as to the court to try the kaiser,
although 1t might be recalled that the
decision affecting the Rhineland COM
mlhsiOu WhH tnAcu uuao'u uu u0"'S
came into effect.
The supreme council is busy arrans-
ing for calling on Germany to hand
over the accused German officers for
trial. The allied list Of 100 has been
reduced at the suggestion OF England
to 100. including the crown prince OF
Germany and Prince Rupprecht OF Ba-
varIn. The request to Holland to
hand over the kaiser Is also being
framed and It In stated on the best
authority that this will be sent to the
Dutch governmsat In a short time.
It is understood that the list Of Ger
mans demanded will not be made pub.
lie until the Berlin government has
exercised its best efforts 70 corral
