The present German government really seems to be increasing in strength, and the confidence reposed in it by the allied governments is growing daily. That Is, the confi- dence that 1t will carry out the terms of the treaty as far as possible. In public address last week, Doctor Rathenau, minister of reconstruction, said:
 "The United States Is the worlds chief creditor and Germany is the worlds chief debtor, with all other na- tions sandwiched in between these two as creditor and debtor nations, each tied to or obligated to one an- other.
 Germany is not a land of gold or raw materials, but a nation which lives, and will continue to live, by the work of her hands. We are, there fore, only able to pay our debts with our products, our mental and manual labor. This we honestly propose to do."

The inevitable battle over the tar if was opened by a minority report from the Democratic members of the ways and means committee of the house. The bill as drafted is de- nounced as a conspiracy to benefit a few favOrites at the expense of all humanity" The report deals especially with the probable effect of the bill on American commerce and with the substitution of the system of Ameri- can valuation as a basis for levying tariff duties. Calling attention to the fact that the foreign trade of the United States fell from $1,19S, ,255, ,449 last July to S527. .378,825 in May, 1921. the report says:
 Certainly the natural process Is preferable to the infected knife of in- terested surgeons who, by selecting the industries to protect and those to destroy, can reap the harvest their campaign contributions seeded last fall. Verify, the oil men are entitled to their reward, and the lumber men and wool men and all the others who cast their bread on the waters of a Republican tide"
 Senator Shoots subcommittee made haste last week to get the Sweet vet erans' bureau bill before the senate. This is the measure that is designed to provide proper care and adequate compensation for disabled soldiers and sailors through the coordination of relief agencies. Congress has been se- verely criticized for delay in passing the bill, which Is the fruit of the ef- forts of the Dawes commission; and a senate Investigating committee has been hearing testimony of the scan- dalOus neglect and inhuman treatment of disabled veterans under the pres ent complicated system-or rather lack of system.

Another thing demanding the atten- tion of the State department is the situation in Tampico where it is feared labor disorders may endanger Ameri- can property. One or two navy yes sells have been sent there, but this was not to be considered a naval demonstration. The trouble in Tam pico Is a result of the recent decree of the Mexican government increasing the export tax on oil The industry being checked. thousands of men were thrown out of employment, and their attitude was threatening. President Obregon says the government has no intention of resembling the decree, and that the labor conditions are not as bad as reported.

Our State department Is now busy ing itself with the preliminaries for negotiating treaties that will make effective the peace with the central powers and restore diplomatic and other relations. Administration au- thorities give assurance that nothing will be done that will disturb the cor dial relations existing between the United States and the allied powers, which presumably means that they are being taken into the confidence of this government in the formulation of the treaties on which Secretary Hughes Is working.

The big questions in the development of Alaska are outside and above politics They have to do with policies that will make Alaska more accessible, that will open the way to the development of resources locked up and that will invite settlement Between 1910 and 1920 the population of the territory decreased 15 per cent.

To cOmplicate the situation In the Near East, it has become certain that Bulgaria is cooperating with Renal in the hope of regaining eastern Thrace. So far she has taken no overt steps, and If she does, the "lit- tie entente" comprising JugO-Slavia, Czecho-Slovakia and Roumania, will get into action, for the real raison d'etre of that alliance is their deter imitation to keep Bulgaria within the limits now fixed for her.

 One thing the great powers are de termined to prevent-the seizure of Constantinople by the BOlshevists. To this end the entire British Medi- terranean fleet Is being concentrated in the vicinity of the Turkish capital. It may be that heavy re-enforcements of allied troops also will have to be sent to that region, for the Russian Bolshevists evidently are planning some big coup. They are calling to the cOlors all men from eighteen to thirty-five years of age, and general mobilization is expected soon. The demobilization order issued some time ago has been cancelled. More inter- esting than reliable Is the story that Trotzky has been imprisoned on or ders from Lenin. Similar reports of disagreement between the BOlshevist chiefs have been heard too often.

Germany, still apprehensive that she is to lose out in Upper Silesia. is cry ing wolf again. The country is warned of an impending coup d'etat- and the allies are permitted to over hear the warning. The story, as it comes from Berlin, is that all the re- actiOnary elements are prepared to march on Berlin and upset the gov ernment, and that the decision against German possession of Upper Silesia Is to be the signal for move ment. The German irregular forces were withdrawn from the disputed ter ritory, in accordance with the agree ment with the inter-allied commission but they have not disbanded or dis armed. nor have they moved far from the Silesian border. These troops are commanded by mOnarchists, and it is reported that General von der Goltz, who led the Baltic expedition and also was mixed up in the Kapp revolution, Is now in Upper Silesia. A few days ago the German population of Beu- then, in Upper Silesia. was making a hostile demonstration against the Poles and when the French troops tried to disperse the marchers, the latter fired on them. killing a French major. The troops retired to their garrison and opened fire with machine guns and a number of Germans were killed So far the peaceful" ar engagement made by the inter-allied commission has not been conspicu- OuS success.

 From this side of the world 1t looks as though the great powers do not know what to do with Turkey and the Turks. If they have any definite pol Icy 1t isn't apparent from either their statements or their actions. The Treaty of Sevres already is shot to pieces, even if the men who formu- lated 1t are unwilling to admit 1t. Turkey was neatly partitioned, but refuses to stay in parts, and the na- tiOns to whom the helpings were as- signed seem quite unable to take or retain them. Naturally the sultan's government, to which the treaty left but tiny part of the huge empire, Is not doing anything to hinder the efforts of the natiOnalists, who refuse to permit that empire to be carved up. Greece Is making all preparations for her promised offensive in Asia Minor, and ships loaded with troops, munitions and supplies arrive daily in Smyrna from Athens. Observers who have been with Renal Pasha are somewhat doubtful of the ability of the nationalists again to stop the Greeks,

Sweet bill as handy instrument for

republican leader; Senator P. C. Knox,
former attorney general; Senator J..
W. Wadsworth Of New York and Sen
ator J: S. Williams of Mississippi.
They denounced the bill as unconsti-
tutional on the ground that the eigh-
teenth amendment gave congress no
power to prohibit the manufacture and
sale of alcoholic liquors except for
beverage purposes. They contended
that congress has no authority what
ever to extend prohibition to alcohol
not used as beverage.

EARLY POTATO OUTLOOK.
Tubers Taken From Many Fields
Within a Wide Radius Give
Little EncOnra cement
Little encouragement.

Ed Saxon and Verne Steward on
Sunday made an automobile trip for
the purpose of determining, or rather
estimating, the prospects of the early
potato crop in this territory.
They covered abuot IT'S miles, going
to Princeton township, Cambridge,
North Branch, Osseo and other points.
They dug into hills Yin many fields,
bringing the vines and such potatoes
as could be found underneath home
with them. It was indeed lot of
sorry looking samples. While the
vines were, green and possessed
healthy-looking appearance, the tub
ers were in many instances not larger
than peas, and on some of the stalks
there was no semblance of a potato.
A few potatoes were found as large
as walnuts but not many, and these
were very irregular in shape.
In only one instance were fair-sized
potatoes found and they were in the
field of W. J. Thomas, south of town.
These tubers were about the size of
hens eggs and of regular size.

Dismantling of Autos Status.

Where a person dismantled an au-
tomobile with the object Of selling the
parts for repairs for other automo-
biles, having dismantled it before the
present law was passed, the parts
taken from the dismantled vehicle are
not taxable as motor vehicle under
the statute.
This ruling was recently made by j. E.
Markham, assistant attorney general,
in the office of Attorney General C. L.
Hilton, for A. M. Matson of Rush City.
"A man cannot escape the tax by
taking his motor vehicle apart or dis
mantling it now," Mr.. Markham says,
qualifying the ruling: ut would still
be motor vehicle and subject to the
tax"

Crop Hit Hard by Heat.

The St. Paul Federal Land bank has
been gathering crop statistics and,
from reports received from many
points in the territory, it is shown
that the extreme heat of the past few
weeks has robbed the northwest of a
record crop. Even if a cool wave
comes Immediately the yield will be
considerably smaller than that of 1920.
Conditions are shown in the reports
to be favorable to the livestock and
dairy industry, as the feed crop is
good, the corn yield will be excep-
tional, but small grain has suffered
greatly.
The crops have been injured by
heat, not drought, for the moisture
has been sufficient to produce record
yields had lower temperature pre-
vailed during the recent weeks.
