Germany's Strength Failed.

Chancellor Stresemann announced
the proclamation after he had reached
an agreement with delegates from the
Ruhr and the Rhineland The dele
gates agreed that Germany no longer
had the strength to resist.
When the cabinet was in session in
the final hours of it's long conferences,
5000 Communists marched through
the streets of Berlin singing revolu-
tlonary songs and carrying red flags.
Police dispersed them.
The situation is ominous. The Ger
man republic, confessing utter defeat
IN the Ruhr, admittedly can be held
together only by dictatorship. Faced
by threats of the nationalists, the
government must set aside constitu-
tfonal methods and uphold it's deci-
sions by force.

Fascista Coup d'Etat Looms.

The question confronting President
Ebert, Chancellor Stresemann and
other politicians who are reverishly
struggling to keep the rudderless and
foundering ship of state afloat, is
whether a complete wreck can be
averted by placing all the power in
the hands of dictator appointed by
the Republican government or wheth-
er the only possible outcome is Fas-
clsta coup d'etat, definitely destruc-
tive of democratic order and probably
leading to the restoration Of an abso-

ANCIENT CELTIC BELL FOUND
Believed by English Archeolooists to
Have Been Buried for Hundreds
of Years.

The Celtic festival of st. Bridget
was revived recently at Glastonbury,
the first time for centuries that the
anniversary has been observed. A
service was held in the ancient chapel
of st. Patrick, at the entrance of the
abbey ruins, with Its pre-reformation
stone altar. Rev. Lionel s. Lewis,
vicar of the parish, and a keen Celtic
student, announced that there had re-
Gently been discovered in an old a
box from a farmhouse on the moors
a curious bronze bell which proved to
be Identical in construction with st.
Patrick's bell, so venerated In Dub
lin.
The British museum authorities pro-
nounced 1t to be undoubtedly an an
cient Celtic bell. According to tradi-
ton, st. Bridget, when she went from
Glastonbury to Ireland, left behind a
bell, and that discovered has every APP
pearance Of being the Identical bell.
1t was wrapped in extremely old linen.
The "Angelus" was rung on the bell
at the close Of the service by Mother
Eve, superior Of the Order of st. John
the Baptist, st. Mary and ct. Cath
crime. The tone Of the bell was very
rich and musical.-London Mail.

great difficulty.

RAILWAY ADMITS COLOSSAL
FRAUD.

Without any court litigation what
ever, yet after a long controversy be-
fore the senate interstate commerce
committee, the Pennsylvania rail-
roa management has admitted that
it tried to defraud the government
of the respectable sum of $13O,OOO,-
900, and has actually agreed to COM
plete restitution. 1t will turn over
in securities the sum of $4,000, coo,
these drawing interest at 6 per cent.
The balance of $40, 900 was in
the form of a fraudulent claim
against the government for alleged
undermaintenance of the compary's
property during the war, which claim
is withdrawn and admitted to be
fraudulent and false.
This is a rather violent change
from a former position, in which 1t
was charged by the railway company
and a hired daily press and put out
indiscriminately by the Associated
Press, that the government had
wrecked the Pennsylvania and other
big roads during its war manage
ment.
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Nc
Adoo fired Samuel Rea, president of
the Pennsylvania, for his attempts
to show by speeding downward that
government management was in
ferior, this offense amounting in
spirit to disloyalty to his country of
the Benedict Arnold and General
Charles Lee order.
Since the railways were returned
to private ownership and the COM
panies were paid for their use under
the law there have been controver-
sizes for mere than two years over
the validity of such claims and of
items therein amounting to millions.
The largest of such claims favoring
the government other than hat OF
the Pennsylvania, these being for
overpayment, was to the Chicago,
Milwaukee e ST. Paul, which secured
$4,000, 900 more than was coming
to it. To put up a bold front and
possibly get away with more money
the Pennsylvania met the govern
ment's claim for overpayment with a
counter claim of $40 100000. Mr..
Rea testified before the senate COM
mittee that the government had
wrecked his road. Here are the
words of his testimony:
Our estimate for undermainte-
nance of roadway and structures is
in the neighborhood of O,000, 900.
AS to the maintenance Of equip
ment. the final estimate is not yet
completed, but, due to the policy
of the director general several
months before the end of federal
control, ordering eve retrench
ments in maintenance expenses, nc
doubt undermaintenance will be
found in equipment.
Mr.. Rea has complained most pit.
eously that the government was slow
in settling railway claims. He asked
that the Esch-Cummins law be
amended to enforce immediate pay
ments. This was blocked by Senator
LaFollette.
Now comes the complete laydown
of the Pennsylvania, admitting that
the government did not wreck it's
road, that it's claim for $4,000, coo
was trumped up and pretended, and
hat it actually had padded the
claims that were settled in the sum
of $50, 900, 900, which it will repay.
The government is entitled to full
credit for collecting this sum. Graf
itude of the people is also due to Mr..
McAdoo and Mr.. LaFollette for their
share in the transaction.
But have you seen anything in the
daily press about this settlement?

BABBLING BROOKS
IN THE DESERT

Near Summerville, Ore, lived a
rancher named Norval. He was
highly educated for one of his oc-
cupation, was somewhat of a public
speaker and served one or more
terms in the legislature. Mr.. Nor
val was a pronounced follower of
Bob Ingersoll and he made this his
hobby through life-I say through
life without knowing whether OIL not
Mr.. Norval is still living.
AS usual with infidels he knew
the Bible from Genesis to Revcla-
tions, knowing it better than most
ministers of the gospel. Being a
ready talker and a trifle pugnacious
he never was known to be without
that certain chip on his shoulder.
But, as frequently happens, he could
scarcely find a person who would
go up against him in a debate. All
the ministers, as they came and
went, were afraid of him, this ap-
plying to the whole of Grande Ronde
valley, which comprises several
pretty good chunks of towns, one of
them being La Grande. The preach
ers could not be trapped into a de.
bate with Norval. .~.r.I~-AasN
