SCORES VERSAILLES PACT
General Hamilton Says Treaty crea-
ted CauIdron of Hatred

London, August 25.-lCorrespond
ence of The Associated Press]-
General Ian Hamilton has asked an
interesting question why is it," he
inquired, that the two last success
full wars, one against the Beers in
South Africa and the other against
the Germans, had such opposite re-
suits? How is it that the Boer war
put an end to the feuds, race ha-
treds, bankruptcies, disorders and
bloodshed which had paralyzed
South African progress for gener-
alton, while the great war on the
contrary has inflicted race hatred,
bankruptcy and murder over the
best part of the world, from Irelard
to the Near East, and turned Central
Europe mao seething cauldron OF
hate?"
And the general has answered his
own question, which was propounded
at the recent unwilling of war
memorial. 1T is because our politi-
clans entirely ignored the ideals Of
those to whom we have raised war
memorials by making a vindictive
instead Of a generous peace" he
said.
This is not the place to set forth
what l think of the Versailles
Treaty" the general continued, "All
can say is that in spite of it, the
cause of peace is not yet lost ii only
you will fix your minds rather on
the intentions of those boys to whom
this beautiful memorial has been
raised, than upon the acts which
have frustrated those intentions"

LAW STILL EXPERIMENT
Eight Hour Labor Regulator lr
Force In Sweden Two Years

Stockholm, August 25.-[Cofres-
pondence of The Associated Pressl
The eight hour law has been in
force in Sweden for two years and
a half and it is still a bone Of con-
tention between employers and Ia
borers,
The industrial employers organi-
cations have fought the law from
the first, and are still opposed to it.
They declare the increased produc-
tivity, promised by the hackers OF
the bill as a compensation Tor
that the scheme has meant the loss
of time and money, and that large
number of worlmen have expressed
a desire for longer hours.
The Wood Pulp Manufacturers
Association AYERS that in many cas-
esl production has been maintained
only by increasing the humber of
employees, or by buying costly la
Dor saving machinery.
Labor interests call these reports
prejudiced. They say it is not fair to
compare present results with those
obtained during the war when the
productive capacity of workmen was
strained to the utmost. This feverish
working speed could not be main
tanned with safety to the laborer,
they say.
Consequently the labor unions
want the eight hour law continued.
They maintain that under it work
ing efficiency has been increased;
that the number of workmen is not
materially greater and that the la
boring classes as a whole have
found more time for cultural and
educational improvement. They say
that the home as social unit has
been strengthened, the working
man now giving more time to the
bringing up of his children and to
the enjoyment of home life.
In the background is the public,
and the public does not seem, in any
sence, to be alarmed over the out
come. 1t believes that the average
Swedish workman, with his sound,
common sence, will eventually agree
with the employer in a solution that
will, advance the industries of the
nation

Trouble In Rochester, MINI
Rochester, September bob, l
just love a police officer" exclaimed
pretty sixteen year old Helen Olson,
Winona girl, when her companion
adventurer and herself were arrest
editor vagrancy and the confscation
OF a bicycle not her own.
She stood in front of the wash
bowl in the police station sozzling
her blonde locks and cute round face
in running water and not being very
particular how much of it she scat
tered over the persons of Officer e.
stood gravely watching her.
= When she had devised herself
thoroughly she proceeded to scrub
the face of her companion in spite
of the violent protests from that
worthy. Both girls then brought
powder puffs, lip sticks and eye
brow pencils from the pockets of
their knickerbockerS and added the
finishing touches.
There" exclaimed Helen, giving
a final tug at her tawn colored short
locks, there, now l am ready to go
to jail
The girls, Helen Olson and Ber-
nice Hanson are the same ones who
caused such a sensation on the
streets of Rochester yesterday when
they staggered around in their dar
ing sport costumes. People specu-
lated on who and what they were
when they saw them wearing tight
brown Knockers, v-neck sweaters,
golf stockings and caps pulled rak-
ishly over their eyes.
This morning they took a little
spin on bicycle which did not be-
long to them and were brought in.o
the police station. When questioned
they said that they were from Wi
mona and had been left stranded by
the boys they came up with Sunday
on motorcycles. They were broke
and had not eaten for twenty four
hours and did not know what to do
They just took the wheel for a little
ride and had no idea of offending
anyone. They were not bit afraid
of the policemen they said, but their
stomachs felt awful empty and they
wanted to go home.
Chief McDermott arranged to give
them dinner and sent them back
to Winona with a farmer who hap
pened to be on the city square.

BURGLAR HAD SPOONS
Il Was His Only Equipment When
He Was About To Rob

Austin, September ga burglar
whose only equipment appeared to
be large discarded spoon entered
the Office of the Austin Sanitary
Milk company last night, but failed
to secure any loot, although an at
tempt vas made to force open the
cash register. The burglar picked up
his equipment-the spoon-just be.
fore he entered the building. No clue
to the identity Of the intruder was
left beyond one footprint which
shows hat he was "pigeontoed."
A screen was removed from a
window on the east side of the
building. The window was open and
apparently no difficulty was en-
countered in forcing an entrance.
A large iron spoon, the handle of
which was bent, was found near the
cash register. The spoon had been
thrown out several weeks ago, F. w.
ShelIman, one of the proprietors OF
the dairy, said. The handle of the
spoon had been inserted in the crew
ice above the cash drawer but the
lock would not yield,
Even had the cash drawer been
forced open, the contents would not
have rewarded the efforts of the in
truder, Mr.. Shellman said, for only
a few pieces of small change were
left in the drawer. Although butter
and cream may have been taken
there Is no indication of the loss.
The attempted theft was discover
ed early this morning when the Of
fee was opened.
Intruders, undoubtedly the same
who entered the milk station, also
entered the milk station, also enter
ed C. H. McErlane's pool hall on Mill
street, but nothing was missing. Mr..
McErlane said that the cash drawer
was always left open so there is no
evidence of tampering there. The le-
yer on the safe had been lifted, but
no attempt had been made to pry
open the door,, The rear door was
left open by the intruders.
Apparently the work is that Of
boys inexperienced in burgiarizing.

WOMEN OPPOSE cARNIvALs
Protests Are Being Circulated In
City of New UIm

City of New UIm.
New Ulm, September 9-Women
of New Ulm are against carnivals
within the city limits. Petitions are
being circulated and at this time,
are being literally signed and will
be presented to the council at flu
ture sessions.
The petition is headed by the fol-
lowing caption, which is to the
point:
Believing that street carnivaIs
and tent shows, such as were. per
mitted to operate in the city during
the recent celebration, and have
been permitted at prior times, are
danger and detriment to good NOR
ais and reflect upon the. good name
of the city and are wholly without
merit or benefit to .our people and
constitute a public nuisance, there
fore we respectfully petition the
Honorable City Council to adopt and
the Honorable Mayor to approve anu
enforce such ordinances and regu-
lationS as may be necessary to pro-
hibit and prevent such shows and
carnivals from hereafter appearing
in our city" y.
The Minnesota State Board Of
Health is conducting campaign
against carnivals on health grounds.
In an effort to collect some definite
information as we'll as an expression
of opinion, QUESTIONABLE was issued
from the state board of health to
231 physicians in 116 different towns
of Minnesota. To these 144 replies
were obtained. \
One hundred twenty six saiu
street carnivals are responsible for
the spread of disease, SO said they
recalled specific instances of pat
tents coming to them infected by
members OF these carnivals, and 126
favored prohibiting such exhibitions
on the basis of morals and public
health. Only physicians out of the
1877 would not recommend prohibit
ing carnivals. A number of physi-
clans also reported that members of
visiting. carnivals were drug addicts.
With the above astounding status
at hand the city council should not
delay in amending the ordinance uri-
der which carnivals are licensed, to
the extent of prohibiting them from
operating within the limits Of the
