M0ZELY 0USTED:
WORST STOPPED
HIS PAY CHECK
immigration Department
Has not Lost Hope of Get
ting Appropriation.
lBy STAFF CORRESPONDENT, !,

Bismarck. N. D., Feb. 22.-W. II.
Mozely. who appears to have planned
to shake down prospective settlers in
North Dakota for an extra $40 per
acre on land purchased here. has
been "let out" by the department OF
immigration.
j. II. Worst. immigration commits
sioner. said today that he had notified
Mozely that his pay as field agent Of
the department ceased last Saturday.
Whether or not Mozely had made any
explanation Of the letter signed by
him, the production Of which before
the senate caused the explosion. was
not stated Mozely has been employed
as field agent by the department and
has been located in Mitchell S. ID.
Apparently all hope OF getting an
appropriation from this session OF the
legislature to continue immigration
work has not been given up as yet by
the department.. There have been
strong indications during the last day
or two that preparations were being
made to bring strong pressure to bear
on both the house and senate to pass
some sort OF an appropriation meas
ure for the continuation of the work.
The independents feel, however.
that the department has been used by
the Nonpartisan league for propa-
ganda purposes. and no such measure
is likely to pass the house.

ROBIN REDBREAST
is SATISFIED THAT
SPRING IS COMING

Crookston, Minn., Feb. g.
The first harbinser Of spring was
reported here today when a robin
was reported seen by a local resi-
dent. Many robins took advan.
tagc of the unusually mild win.
ter this year and saved their en-
crgy by not flying southwark In
the fall. Many of them perlshcd
during the few of the extremely
cold days OF the winter, but the
F, robin seen today was declared
to have Just arrived from the
south. He was believed by those
who saw him to be the vanguard
of other robins soon to follow and

U. S. SENDS ITS
VIEWS TO THE
LEACUEC0UNCIL
Ideas Regarding Mandates
AS Set Forth in Colby's
Note Given.

Washington. Feb. 22.-The Ameri-
can government has communicated
directly to the League OF Nations
council its views with regard TO man
datcs as set forth in the note sent by
Secretary Colby to the British govern
nlent last November, it was announced
today at the state department.
Acting on an official intimation that
since the council already had taken
action on the question Of mandates,
the opinions expressed in Mr.. Coiby's
note to Lord Curzon, the British sec
rotary Of state for foreign affairs,
should be conveyed to the council. a
communication that was described as
practically duplicate of that note
was dispatched to Paris las, night.
While no reply has been received
from Great Britain, il has been unof-
ficially stated the British government
was preparing an answer that would
go far toward satisfying the Ameri-
ties must be provided for the citizens
OF all countries in all mandate terri
tories 1t has been suggested that Sir
Auckland Geddes. who returned to the
United States yesterday after con-
sultation with the foreign office in
London, had been empowered to con-
vey the ideas OF his government on
the subject. Officials of the depart
ment declined to say from what quar-
ter the intimation came that the ques-
ton should be taken directly to the
from Great Britain and that the re-
turning British ambassador bore the
message.
Communications have been received
by the department from the council
and certain amount OF corresponds
ence has followed. but this is the first
time the United States has initiated
any action before that body. Officials
insisted that it was not to be taken as
an indication that the United States
was to become involved in the controv-
crsies of the league, but rather as a
manifestation of the determination of
the United States to insist upon its
rights even though it is not a member
Of the league.
In his note to Lord Curzon. Secre-
tary Colby said the United States did
not propose to be excluded from par
ticipation in the rights and privileges
secured under mandates provided in
the treaties of peace and it expected
to be heard regarding the terms Of
those mandates before they were put
into form.
This note was in reply TO one from
Great Britain under date Of last Aug
ust 3, and which dealt with the appli-
cation Of the near east to be placed
under British mandate. The American
government took issue with what was
described as the British position that
mandate agreements and treaties were
to be considered only by state mem
bers of the League of Nations.
Mr.. Colby said that the United
States as a participant of the world
war and a contributor TO its success
full issue. cannot consider any Of the
associated powers. the smallest not
less than itself, declared from discus
sion Of any Of its consequences. ol
from participation in the rights and
privileges secured under the mandate:
