May Change Seat
League of Nations

Washington. Jan. 11-Because the
United States did not Join the entente
powers and Japan in the conclusion
Of peace yesterday in Paris. the seat
Of the League of Nations may go to
Brussels, Belgium, instead of Geneva,
Switzerland, as provided in the league
covenant. President Wilson was re-
sponsible for the selection Of Geneva
in the first place, the French and
British premiers yielding to his sug-
gestion though personally they pre-
ferred Brussels, because it is far more
conveniently situated with regard to
Paris and London.
Information received today is to
the effect that the secretariat Of the
league, which has been organizing in
formally in London many months
past now is arranging for the selec-
ton Of permanent headquarters and
is expected to decide within a day or
two between the conflicting claims OF
Geneva and Brussels.
In Geneva, the secretariat already
las selected a large building. almost
completed, with special reference to
the needs Of the league. Brussels can
not extend equal accommodations but
because Of its superior convenience
in the matter of location seems like
ly now to be chosen.
The Swiss claims are further jeop-
ardized by reason Of the fact that
the Swiss government has hesita-
ton about adhering to the league,
fearing that Switzerland's neutrality
would be seriously affected. The lat
est advices from that country are
that the government probably would
await the action Of the United States
Senate before determining its own
course.

Weymouth, England, Jan. u.-Thirty-
five members of the crew Of ~ of the
British steamer Treveat were drowned
when the big vessel was wrecked on
Kimmer Erdge Rock, near St. Adams
Head. during a violent storm in the
channel Saturday.
The Treveal. bound from Calcutta to
Dundee with cargo. struck the rock late
Friday night. The vessel Immediately
wired for assistance but owing to the
severity of the storm and the dense
darkness the tug which put out from
Weymouth was unable to find her.
Later her position was established by
wireless and early Saturday tug and
a Weymouth lifeboat went to the as
sistance of the steamer
The Treveal was tight on the rock
and was unable to get clear because
both wind and sea we're against her.
The lifeboat tried several times to
reach the doomed steamer but was
beaten back by the storm. 1t was i'm
possible for the coast guard to shoot
line to the ship because Of her distance
from land.
Finally the ship slgnalled to the tug
that they were going to abandon the
ship. The crew put OF in two boats,
which were Immediately swamped in the
raging sea. While the coast guards
watched. powerless to aid. the sailors
fought for their lives, but only seven
reached shore. The captain was among
those missing. Shortly after the crew
abandoned the Treveal the vessel broke
in two.
The Treveal was OF $40 tons gross.
She was built in 1863 and belonged to
the Hahn Steamship Co.

Germans Urge Trial William

Berlin. Saturday. Jan. 1O.-Ge--

Emperor William for trial by the Az
lies in resolutions passed at a pub
lie meeting Of the New Fatherland
League here today.
In signing the treaty of versai!-
les" the resolutions said, Germany
consented to the trial of William End.
1t is, therefore, the duty of the Ger
man people to execute the treaty
and every attempt to prevent proce-
dure against the former Kaiser must
be branded as political crime"
Herr Won Gerlach, radical Demo-
crat. said, THE German people must
definitely cut itself loose from this

German Leader Cites Dilemma Of y.

Was Put in Prison-Fears Suicide
Many Germans Named by Allies to
Face Tribunal
Berlin, Jan. 11.-President Lin
coins attitude toward the arrest Of
jefferson Davis is recalled by Otto
Landberg, majority Socialist leader.
discussing the Vorwaerts the prob
able extradition and trial of former
Emperor William. He cites the di-
lemma of the Union states when the
Conferedate leader was imprisoned
and says he is convinced 1T would
have been better to have allowed Mr.
Davis to escape"
Herr Landsberg recommends that
entente leaders read observations on
the Davis case by Carl Schurz, and
asserts he believes such a perusal
would bring about different atti-
tude toward the former Kaiser's sur
render.
Entente nations should desist in
their demand that Germans be taken
before their tribunals for trial." he
declared, regarding soldiers accused
by the Allies, "as that is bound to
result in not few of the men whose
names are on the list seeking death
at their hands rather than take q
chance at the fate awaiting them be-
yond German frontiers. Even now
dread to think Of the echoes of shots
fired by the hands of the suicides"
His belief is that the Entente will
not be forced to insist upon Will
liam's extradition on the grounds of
prestige. He points out that a re-
cent law designed the Imperial court
as competent tribunal for the pros
ecution of war offenders and gives
privileges in respect to active cooper
alton. Herr Lansberg says the AL
lies cannot legally force Holland to
give up Count Hohenzollern ana
points out this will give them a con-
venient way out of their dilemma.
He says they have simply to refer
to their "oft-repeated principles Of
respect and defense of smaller ma
tions," and not compel Holland to
turn over the former Emperor.
IF William should be hailed before
an Entente tribunal, he declares,
'the reactionary elements of Ger
many will convert him into saint,
who will render them valuable serv-
ices in connection with their politi-
cal aspirations. The cause of democ-
racy in Germany will be given a ia
tai setback if to the terms Of the
Versailles treaty are added others
which preclude the healing of wounds
which will become as injurious to
the Entente nations as to u.s."

PEACE PACTS
Between Germany and
Allies Exchanged
Ceremony at Paris, Saturday at 4.16
p. M.-United States Now Only
Power at War with Germany -
League Seat May BE Changed

League seat May 6e ~hSnoeo
Paris. Jan. 11-(By The Associated
Press)-Ratifications Of the treaty Of
Versailles were exchanged, and peace
between Germany. France, Great
Britain and the other Allied and as
ISOLATED powers with the exception Of
the United States, became effective at
4.16 o'clock this afternoon.
The outstanding comment tonight
on the ceremony is that it leaves the
United States the only power which
was actively at war with Germany
not on a peace basis. That was the
note sounded by Baron Kurt Won Le-
raner, head Of the German peace del
egation, in a statement to The Asso-
ciated Press Immediately after the
ceremony.
Asked as to the execution of the
terms of the treaty, Baron Won Lers-
ner declared that Germany was ready
and determined to do her utmost. He
said:
I'VE have already, even without
being obliged by the terms of the
treaty, delivered a considerable guam
tity of products including two and
one-half million tons of coal to
France. and I can say that Germany
will go to the utmost limit of posi-
bility in fulfilling all the obligations
she has incurred. 1t will mean hard
times for Germany but with recovery
of our ardor for labor and produc-
ton. we hope to meet every emer-
gency.
THE recovery of our economic
prosperity is as much to the interest
of the entente as it is to us on ac-
count of the great economic difficult
les that threatened all Europe 1t is
obvious. speaking chiefly of France.
that her economic prosperity depends
upon the economic recovery of Ger
many"
After the settlement of a few de-
tails connected with the arrangement
for the execution of the treaty Bar
on Won Lersner will leave for Ber-
lin for a short rest, the first he has
had since coming to Paris in advance
of the German peace delegates.

EYE, METHODIST
CHURCHES CONSOLIDATE
Revs. Walker and Fritze Will Re
main as Pastors Of New Con-
gregation. 81

The two Methodist churches at
Sleepy Eye have been united and Rev.
w. j. Walker, pastor Of the English
Methodist church, has been officially
appointed pastor Of the united congre-
cation, while Rev. w. F. Fritze, who
has had chargeeof the German Metho-9
dist church there for the past year,
will be assistant to Rev. Walker. Rev.
Fritze, who has been pastor in the
German Methodist Conference for
many years, became affiliated with
the Minnesota Conference during its
session at Albert Lea few weeks ago.
During the session Of the General
Conference Of the Methodist Episcopal
church, which was held aides Moines,
Iowa, in May Of this year, a large ma
|jority of members of the German
Methodist church at Sleepy Eye signed
a petition. asking the General Con-
ference to transfer the German con-
gregation and church property to the:
Minnesota Conference and unite the
two Methodist churches at Sleepy Eye
into one congre cation. This petition
was, in turn, presented to the two
district conferences concerned in the
transaction and on September % the
two commissions on conference bound
aries Of the Minnesota and the North.
ern German Conferences met in joint
session at Albert Lea. The PROPOSE
ton was accepted the next day by the
Minnesota Conference and the German
Conference took similar action Oc-
tober IA. The approval of Bishop
C. b. Mitchell, which has been given,
makes the action Of both conferences
legal
AT the request Of the German Con-
ference it was agreed to conduct Ger
man services every other Sunday in
the forenoon, at an hour that will not
conflict with the regular services. As
the German church is the larger of the
two, all services will henceforth be.

including the privilege to leave the
country. The latter fact the two
young men learned only too we'll, for
they were obliged to pay a total Of
$500 crowns for vising Of their passes
until they reached Belgium. As re-
suit, the funds which were sent them
by local relatives, were totally ex-
hausted when they landed in New
York and they were compelled to tele
graph for more money, which, how
ever, did not reach them Consequent
~ they could not even secure food until
at Mankato good Samaritan in the
person Of Conductor Deihn provided
them with sandwiches. Both young
men had the good fortune to be pas
sengers on Conductor Deihn's train,
although travelling 10 days apart.
Both Served in War.
Adolph and Rudolph both served
their country during the World war,
one for a period Of four years at the
front, while the other was stationed
in an accounting department for the
same length Of time The former saw
active service, two years Of which were
spent on the italian front and the
balance in the Karpathians. The
terrible suffering experienced by the
Austrian troups in the Italian noun
tains beggars description.
One Has Secured Work.
One of the new arrivals is already at
work here, while his brother is still
too weak to do manual labor and is
being given all possible care by loving
relatives. He will soon be fit as the
result Of receiving good and sufficient
nourishment.
Suit Is On Display.
One Of the suits broughtsto New Ulm
by the young men and which was worn
by one Of them on the journey to this
city, is now on. display in Hummel
Brothers clothing store, where anyone
interested may examine it. The
material very closely resembles regular
worsted suiting and is carefully made.
1t has the weight of ordinary wooden
goods and the color is a pleasing brown
check, The appearance and feel
Of the "cloth" is very deceiving.

NoNPARTISAN Lacquer
RIDDLES PREUS' TALK
Steel Trust Candidate Cannot
Wriggle Out Of Admitting Con-
vincing Facts.

In his speech at the. New Ulm
Armory, Tuesday afterno Jon, Mr.. Preus
talked lot, but said very little. His
audience was made up mainly Of bust
ness and professional men and their
ladies. A number of school children
were also present. I do not think
there were half dozen farmers present.
Mr.. Preus evidently is a poor judge Of
people, since practically his entire
address was directed to the farmers.
Does he consider the farmers the only
class who have any grievances? Dur
ing his speech Mr.. Preus mentioned
the fact that there are only thrity-ff five
per cent of the population living on
farms. Why does he direct his talk
to the minority? He did not spend
much time trying to connect the Non
partisan League with the Socialists,
because he realizes by this time that
such arguments fall fiat wherever they
are used.
Most Republican speakers claim the
League platform. is alright, but that
their leaders are bad. The rank and
file of the League know who their
leaders are. How many of the Re
publican voters know who their real
leaders are? The Republican party
seems to have no platform at all, at
least it was not referred to by Mr..
Preus in his speech. Voters, what
would you prefer, a party with a plat
form, and its leaders in the epen,s or a
party without platform and with
secret leaders?
Mr.. Preus said cooperation is the
only remedy for the farmers griev-
ences. Our forefa theirs, few genera
tions ago, thought so, too, when they
organized the Farmers Grange, later
the Farmers Alliance and the Society
OF Equity. More than twenty-five
years ago cooperative creameries,
elevators, shipping associations, stores
and even some flour mills we're built
all over the state. And still the farm
ers have their grievances. How long
must we keep up our cooperative or
carnations to reap the benefits? Mr..
Preus forgot to tell US why so many
Of our cooperative enterprises failed
and are still failing. He also stated
the state should not be bonded for
millions Of dollars to erect state-owned
-four mills and packing plants, but the
farmers should mortgage their property
to do it comparatively. Mr.. Preus
stated state owned flour mill could
not. compete with the big flour mills
of Minneapolis, neither could state
owned packing plant compete with
the big packers Of Chicago. Does the
man who would like to be our next
governor honestly believe that the
farmers could compete with those big
concerns, if the state cannot?
His speech at New Uln was very
effective, especially when he addressed
the audience as Y gu Farmers" there
being only . few farmers present. i
would consider it an insult to the IN
telligence Of the average farmer, if
he should ever get an audience Of IN
telligent farmers and hand them the
dope he handed to bis audience
