deadly serious-they were very
much afraid that the Indians might
pull tomahawks and that they
might have to return East minus

down to their car with them, past
the dangerous Redskins, and the

committee concurred in that the quota
for this year will have to be in
creased 100 per cent over that of last
year in order to provide assistance
for all the students in need of this

tor of the NYA, explained various
phases of the program and answered

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
By GEORG STRANDvOLD
"The guns are SILENT"

THE guns are silent!'
1t was Aristide BRAND, foreign min
lister of France, that spoke these
words ten years ago, September TO-,
1926.
"The guns are silent, and what hap
pens today means peace, especially be-
tween Germany and France. Never
again are our problems to be solved
by resort to arms
What happened that day was that
Germany became a member of the
League of Nations, was readmitted to
the society of states after having been
considered an outcast since the DAYS
of the World war.
Things have a way of changing,
even in the course of but ten years;
the guns are still silent, as between
Germany and France, but there are
ominous rumblings. BRAND is dead.
So is the treaty against war which
he, with the then American secretary
OF state Frank B. kellogg, authored
and sponsored. Germany has left the
League, and the way the great powers
are now arming indicates as their
only rational purpose some future re-
sort to arms.
New Alignment.
In the alignment of European pow
ers there is recent change. Ger
many and France apparently want to
maintain peace between them; GER
tain conferences in Berlin and Paris
point in that direction. But as Ger
man feelings toward France become
more amicable, German hostility to
Russia grows in intensity. And right
here is the point where Franco-Ger-
man amity will find it difficult to
keep an equilibrium, for France is the

STATE BUYERS
MUST COMPLY
Law Requires That Slaugh-
ter Buyers of Livestock
be Licensed.
Commissioner ChaS. Mum
Warns of Penalty
Involved.

According to Charles Mum, rail-
road and warehouse commissioner.
livestock buyers of Minnesota have
been very slow in obtaining licenses
from the Commission as required by
the law passed by the legislature OF
1895, known as the Livestock Regu-
lation Act Mr.. Mum states that
only 1877 buyers have taken out Ii
censes to date, although the law went
into effect July 1, 1896. The COM
missioner estimates the number of
buyers in the state at 500 or more.
Law Will be Enforced.
unless the buyers that have failed
to comply with the law by taking out
licenses and giving a surety bond in
the sum of $4,000 as the Act provides,
do So the Commission will take steps
in the near future to enforce the
provisions of the law said Mr.. Mum.
eve will have our four livestock in
spectors cover the state and will be-
gin proceedings against all buyers
that for one reason or another have
failed or refused to take out the nee
essary license and to give the re-
uuired bond. These inspectors are
Wilson Wells, Ray Henry and Samuel
Cheatham of st. Paul. and John
OKeefe of South st. Paul.
"The Law provides that any buyer
who violates any of it's provisions shall
be guilty of a gross misdemeanor and
shall be punished for each Offense by
a fine of not less than 500 or by i'm
prisonment in the county Jail for not
less than 80 days. Inasmuch as the
license fee is only SIS, and the cost OF
securing the required surety bond is
quite small, it would seem that all
buyers would comply with the law at
once. OF course, the law applies only
to buyers of livestock for slaughter
and does not affect farmers who buy
stock for feeding purposes"
