GERMAN INDEMNITIES.
TRENCH, Belgian and British

TRENCH, Belgian and British
) troops have marched some
thirty miles into Germany and
taken possession of three Rhine
port cities on the east side of the
river, that have considerable to do
with the Rhine trade and the chief
manufacturing interests of Ger
many. This is done on the claim
that Germany has shown no dispo-
sition to carry out the terms Of the
treaty of peace and that the allies
must carry out its terms themselves
by the use of force. So far as the
United States troops on the west
bank Of the Rhine, at Coblentz, are
concerned, they have not moved
forward and there is no expectation
that they will do 50. In fact, it is
the general expectation that they
will soon be called home and a
separate peace be made between
Germany and the United States:
This particular difference be-
tween the allies and Germany arises
over the carrying out Of the repara-
ton clause of the treaty. The Ger
man Aspokesmen claim that they
are willing to pay all the indemnity
that they possibly can, but declare
that the allies ask ihpossibilities.

TEA ROOM GOSSIP.

I LEGISLATIVE Investigations are
IL generally of small practical
use. There is a lot of smoke.
They. make long stories for the
newspapers. They cost more money
than the trying of cases in court
and they seldom reach a verdict
of value.
In the hearings that are now be-
ing conducted by the so-called
swap committee Of the senate at
Helena, you have a mass Of con-
Trajectory evidence. Anyone can
take his choice. Some fellows come
in and declare that Mr.. Arthur
made statements about the trading
or the delivery of votes. Tom de-
clares he did not say SO. Other
witnesses give somewhat differ
ent version. There you are. II
the investigation cannot produce
anything more than this mass of
contradictions there is small cause
for holding hearing after hearing.
The sensation which has been
sprung, for no good purpose so
far as we can see, will become
vaudeville and the people of the
state will be disgustcd.
AS a matter of fact we have
plenty of courts to try any case
if crime has been committed
and it doesn't cost $4,000 or $4,-
600 or $4,000 dollars a day to
keep them in session. We have
prosecuting attorneys. A grand jury
can be convened if necessary. No
one need escape if the governor
or the attorney general or any one
else can find necessary evidence
that senators have traded votes and
have violated the law.
There isn't much use in pro-
ceeding further upon tattle-tale
tea-room gossip.

FRANCE AND AMERICAN
FRIENDSHIP.

The backing of America is, as many
French statesmen see it. the necessary
foundation of Frances peace policy.
Senator CASTOR Japy sets forth this
point of view in the following striking
manner in the Echo de Paris:
America is over flowing with gold.
Where does it come from? Very large
ly from France.
America earned billions during the
war, she lost few men, she must give
us facilities for payment. We owe
billions to the United States. We
we're forced to make this huge debt in
order to win the war, the common aim
of all the allies. We bought goods
from America in peace time for 400
million dollars. At that time our gov
ernments forgot the question Of the
exchange, and we paid very dearly for
these goods without even having their
value estimated by experts.
"At the time of the armistice we
were on the warmest terms with the
Americans who were very enthusiastic,
We ought to have taken advantage of
this state of mind of our friends.
"Since then our relations have cool
cd down. but it is possible to warm
them up again. General Nivelle's visit
to the United States has already done
much good for France.
eve must visit the Americans; this
lively, active, but practical people do
not like those who are asleep; let us
show them our vitality.
"Our great conquerors Generals
Castelnau, Franchet d'Espery, Fay

Petain, Joffre, and especially Foch,
ought to cross the Atlantic and speak
in the name of France, and clear up
the misunderstanding caused BY the
mistakes Of our rulers and by German
propaganda.
"The Germans describe US to the
Americans as ferocious imperialists,
crushing this poor gentle Germany.
'In this immense country OF America
the horrors committed on our soil by
the Germans are unknown; our propa-
ganda is worthless while the German Is
very active.
"The Americans know us very little, :
continues the writer, "they seem to
think we are done for; we must show
them the contrary, wa must keep up the
best relations with America. But these
good friends must realize what great
effort France has made. the benefits

"At recent meeting of this block

an immediate solution of the question,
against the motion by Count Teleki,
prime minister, for postponement until
future date.
"At the meeting Of the national as

given large majority in favor of post

faced with the necessity of forming, a
new government block. During the
