Hohenzollern loyalists in Berlin have been in touch with Hun- garian monarchists for some time and there is every reason to believe they have made preparations to finance the coup by the Hapsburgs which has been a revival of militaristic feel- ing in Europe, ever since the Greek people voted to return King Con- stantine to his throne..

The first Minnesota corn donated by farmers dn the nation-wide famine relief movement launched by the American Farm Bureau federation .is aiready on the way to Europe. Nicollet and Big Stone county farmers were the first in the state to get their gift corn loaded into cars furnished free by the railroads. The, 16 counties which already have reported their relief drives well under way will probably contribute 30,000 bushels, the state federation estimates. Pipestone county leads the state'in ! the size of its offer. The county bu- reau theré is planning to load six carloads. The Stearns county farm bureau has set out to raise $800 in cash to buy corn in some other coun- ty with. a surplus crop, and Meeker county also is considering collecting cash. Blue Earth’s bureau has sent out a call to every farmer to give five bushels; Lyon county expects to ship three cars; Martin county plans to load two more; Le Sueur county expects .two. .. The-corn reiief appenl will be car- ried to' thousands of Minnésotans from the pulpit within the next two weeks. The &tate federation today sent out a call to every county bu- reau in the state to urge every iin- ister in the county to tell his congre- gation how Minnesota farmers are saving lives in famine zones of Eu- rope, Asia Minor and China. Nobles county was the first to appeal to its ministers to call on their followers to help swell that county’s gifts on three county-wide ‘“‘corn relief days,” Maroh 31 and April 1 and 2.

SECOND SERIES OF LAND CLEARING MEETINGS SET All Farmers Interested Urged to Attend Meeting Nearest Their Own Home Meetings in the interest of the Bel- ‘|trami county land clearing campaign will be held by A. W. Stone and D. C. Dvoracek, campaign manager and county agent respectively, during the coming week at the following points: Monday, April 4, Turtle River; Tues- day, April 5, Pinewood; Wednesday, April 6, executive board meeting at Bemidji; Thursday, April 7, Nebish; Friday, April 8, Rosby, and Saturday, April 9, Hines. The campaign manager is very anxious that every farmer intgrcsu:d in the land clearing campaign be present at the meeting nearest his home. Matters pertaining to the or- dering of dynamité and the work of organizing the campaign will be tak- en up in detail at the meetings. | Orders for dynamite must be sent in so that they can be placed by April 10, in order to be included with the order being sent in by the secre- tary of the association at that time. The prices quoted for the dynamite are wholesale prices and are as fol- lows: 20 per cent at $15.50; 30 per cent at $16.50; 40 per cent at $17.50; caps, $1.55 per 100; fuse, 70 cents per 100 feet. Cars for the various points will arrive about April 15, and it is therefore very essential that all orders reach Secretary A. A. War- field, Bemidji, not later than April 10.

The Irish were criti- cized for what the committee called “asgagsinations,” but which the Irish witnesses termed “executions’” The difficulties in Ifeland, it was declared, ‘are summed up in the fact that the British have sent:troops to occupy the island. The Irish, resent- ing occupation, were said to have in- stituted ambushes to obtain arms and to have “executed” British officers, which in turn provobed reprsials. The commission, an offshoot of the “committee of 100,” called into being by the publication “The Nation,” con- sisted of L. Holingsworth Wood, a New York lawyer; Frederic C. Howe, former commissioner of immigration in New York; Jane Addams, social worker and head of Hull House in Chicago; James H. Maurer, president of the Pennsylvania state federation of labar; Major Oliver P. Newman, former president of the board of com- missioners of Washington, D. C.; Senator George W. Norris of Nebras- ka; Rev. Norman Thomas, Presbyteri- an minister and editor of “The World Tomorrow,” and Senator' David 1. Walsh, Massachusetts. § It heard many witnesses: It ad- mits that most of. these were pro- Irish, but states it endeavored to ob- tain the British view from responsi- ble officials. It deserved to visit Ire- land for a first hand view of affairs, but did not press the project when the British embassy here refused to vise passports. A section of the report ‘was devoted to “the policy of assassination.” It stated that the assassination of mem- bers of the British forces began in 1919, has continued and still con- tinues, evidently being the work of “a nation-wide organization with a very perfect secret service and with disciplined men to execute its orders. Under these circumstances it would appear that the imperial authorities are not free from responsibility for the failure to take proper precau- tions.” . The policy is regretable, it was stated, besides being ‘“‘an unreliahle method ‘of removing specific crimin.. als.” The policy is “earnestly de- preciated.” Much of the report is given to ac- tual testimony before the commis- sion. URGENT CALL FOR FUNDS . NOT READILY ANSWERED Shevlin, Minn., March 31.—A wide- ly advertised meeting for the purpose of raising funts to relp finance the Bagley Independent, took place. at Shevlin recently. The meecting was to have taken place in the Woodman hall, but owing to the fact that the farmers surrounding Shevlin at this time are husbanding their finances to tide them over the summer seadon, but few appeared on the scene, and those few did not show any enthus- iasm, or offer to come across with the article that is needed to run a news- paper in these times of high cost of print paper and printers. Another factor, which may have discouraged the farmers and dampen- ed their enthusiasm, was the fact that the different speakers from abroad arrived in Shevlin and hob- nobbed with Messrs. Kaiser, Lohn and Larson, directors ‘of the First State Bank of Shevlin, who were up for. the purpose of holding a direc- tors’ meeting. $10 SENT 2,000, _ TO HELP LYON BUREAU Owners of farm lands are ylac!ng a cash value on the fight of the farm bureaus against the Nolan bill, which would levy a one per cent tax on all land holdings valued at more than $10,000, Mrs. Mary Kimball, whose home is in California, owns a in Lyon county, Minnesota.
