IT 1S SUGGESTED THAT | KING OF HUNS’ U-BOAT DRIVE PASSES AWAY Von Holtzendorff, Tho Young Man, Had Made Himself Terror of the Seas Berlin, Monday, June 9.—The death was announced today of Admiral von Holtzendorff, head of the German general naval staff during the great- er part of the war. He retired last August. Admiral Henning .von Holtzendorft played an important part in the de- velopment of the German navy, prior to the war. He became admiral of the navy in 1912 and except for two months in 1916 held that post until 1918. He was a firm believer in the efficacy of the submarine, and was ‘boats. The admiral was born in 1883. LIQUID ASSETS OF GERMANY TO BISMARCK BUSINESS MEN SHOW. THEIR APPRECIATION ex DECORATING STORES. The capital city is in safe-keepin: ‘od: f timber early Monday afternoon when i the first of the delegations to the. 36th A. annual convention of the North Da- kota Firemen’s association arrived ov- er the South Soo. Should a fire break out’ in’ Bismarck today there are be- tween 400 and 500 veteran flame-fight- i ers here prepared to cope with it. In spite of the fact that this is purely a business session of the fire- men’s association, with all of the old- time tournament and carnival ,fea- tures eliminated, there is a splendid i | attendance, showing that, after all, the firemen are primarily business men. It is quite appropriate that on opposite sides of the Missouri today thefe- should have opened two big yi Fi statewide meetings, one, in Mandan, of the men who make business and build cities, and.the other; here in i Bismarck; -of the men who protect f | cee ‘and save cities. .

The ‘auditorium parquet: was «filled i at.10 this. marning, wien. the initial session’ of ‘the 36th annual convention of the ;:North Dakota Firemen’s asso- elation. opened. ~The convention was l »; Called to order’ by the president; Sec- retary pia ade called. the,roll of ‘aeparthénts which are. mémbers of the association, and other preliminary, ij ~ Work was attended to. ' 1 he'most important business for the afternoon will be the selection of the site for the next annual convention. Grand Forks appears to’ be'the most \ popular contender, and it seems prob- able that she metropolis of the north- ern Red River valley will be favored. This evening the visitors will be en- tertained with a pavement dance on Thayer street, adjoining the county building. ‘.O’Connor’s orchestra _ will furnish music, and no charge will be made for dancing. Bismarck’s guests are invited to turn out.and enjoy thenfselves to the limit. |The pave- ment has been swept and scoured and powdered and placed in tip-top condi- tion for the fete. ‘ Firergen Are All Boosters, The firemen, without exception, are boosters. for their home town. No better advertising than that -which , a score or more of progressive ‘lit- tle municipalities are. receiving through their representatives here’ could well be devised. These delega- tions have ‘had printed elaborate silk badges carrying their home- town’s slogan or some appropriate catch-phrase, and everyone within catching distance is being decorated. Michigan Has Record. Among the foremost of these home- i town’ boosters is Chief Robert Milli- , gan of the Michigan fire department, a-veteran flame fighter and.an all- around good fellow. ‘“Michigan— Bone Dry,” is the slogan which is heralded on a-hundred or more badges which Chief Milligan distribut- qj e ‘| ed today.’ And he doesn’t stop with | that. He is telling the story of Mich- igan, live, bustling little city, and of ) its fire department which, out of 36 , members, . had fifteen accepted for military service in the world’s war and which still has four men in France. Chief Milligan does not be- lieve there is another department in America whose service flag will show an almost 50 per cent military record. Robert Milligan is a life member of the Michigan department, organized > ’way back in 1884, when the present f chief and the village he represents - were considerably younger. Mr. Milli- gan has been chief for eight -years, and he is mighty proud of the boys he has under him. “Old Monte’s Here.” And there’s “Old Monte” Monteith, beloved president emeritus of the North Dakota Press association, pi- oneer Dakota scribe and pioneer fire- fighter, who is here representing the Finley fire department and the whole village of Finley. Monte, whose en- tirely superfluous initials are G. A. came to North Dakota just a’ quar- ter of a century ago. Soon after that he established a Beacon for Finley which has been that village’s bright and shining light for these many years. Only recently the hand that had so long trimmed the wick of this peacon laid down the. stick, shoved a substantial wad of league money into the Monteith jeans, and made Monte a gentleman of leisure. ,In other words, the Nonpartisan league, find- ing it couldn’t chase Monte out, bought ‘hi mout, and the Beacon is to lay.

Germany should her ability to pay, increase. May Sign Before July. The signing of the‘ peace treaty by ‘Germany before July 1 and its rati- fication by the various parliaments before August 1, is predicted today by the Echo de Paris. The course of .the Germans, it thinks,, will be. to re- place the Schiedemann government by another, in case the present gov- ernment, decidés not to sign the terms, as the allies finally present them. ‘ Council Is Pessimist The council of four met today in an atmosphere of considerable pessi- mism with the larger peace questions with Germany still unsolved. It is understood Premier Clemenceau has not moved from his position against any modification of the peace terms. 1,23 6,000,000 BUSHELS OF 1949 WHEAT FORECAST Winter Crop Expected to Be Big- gest in History—Spring Va- riety Goes 343,000,000 Washington, D.

SENATE READY T0 OPPOSE PEACE PACT Senator ‘Knox Introduces Reso- lution to Voice Opposi- tion to League TO BE OFFICIAL NOTICE Ratification. of Treaty in Present Form Not Acceptable to Leaders Washington, June 10.—A resolution to have the senate declare it’ could:-not concur in the league of nations pro- visions of the treaty as now drawn was introduced today by Senator Knox, Pennsylvania. The resolution which is expected to bring to a more definite stage the fight being waged against the league of nations covenants asked that the covenants be separated from the peace treaty before submitting it for ratification by the congress. The resolution was referred to the foreign relations committee. It was offered after a conference with Chairman Lodge, of the committee, and there were evidences that it} would have the backing of most of; ‘those who have conducted the fight against the league. An Official Notice. It is designed to be an. official no- tice to the peace conference that rat- ification of the peace treaty in. its | present form is opposed. It proposes. that the “treaty shall be so drawh to permit aay nation to reserve without prejudice \fo its future separate and {full consideration by its people tho question. of ‘any league of nations,” | but that theobligations of Germany and, Ner,-eo:helligerents -under.the treaty shall not be thereby affected. | The ‘Knox resolution also would de- clare it the; policy of the.

Making It Easier for Germany _ The main question which the coun- cillors now are considering is the proposed change in the covenant of the league of nations, whereby the terms of Germany’s admission would be*made-easier. The proposed change is ‘said to‘be prompted’mainly by the desire to forestall the:possible forma- tionof another combination of na- tions; ‘with Russia, Germany and for- mer Germanic allies taking the lead- ing role. It is felt in some quarters that it would be easier to deal with Germany as a member of the league than if she remained outside. The Case of Turkey The Turkish delegation, en route to France on a French warship, is to appear before the board merely in an advisory capacity, and its members will not be considered plenipoten- tiaries. There has not yet been any definite statement as to whether a treaty with Turkey will be negotiated. An important political development in Germany today is the first conven- tion of the national socialist patty ‘at Weimar. since the recent, chenge) in. administration which is#xpected. to have. an. important effeot.on \Ger- many’s. foreign relations’ and her in- ternal affairs.
