Allies Confident They Will Sigr
PARIS, June 26. Ffforts were
being made Thursday to arrange for
the signing of the iK-ace treaty at
3 o'clock Saturday afternoon. The
council of three is apparently satis
fied with the semi-ofllrial axwurance
that the Germans would be on hand
General Groener, who succeeded
Field Marshal Ton Hindenburir as
German chief of 6taff, has tendered
his resignation to President Kbert
but has agreed to remain at hJs post
until the situation In the eastern
provinces becomes stabilized.
BERLIN, June 20. Hermann
Mueller, the foreign minister, and
Dr. Hell, the colonial minister, it
was announced Wednesday night,
have been selected as the German
envoys to sign the peace terms. They
will leave llerlin Friday.
PARIS, June 26 If the heads of
the allied powers in Paris do not
hear from Weimar verr soon re
garding the German delegation for
the signing of the peace treaty an
ultimatum will be Bent to the Ger
man government according to the
Paris office of Reuter's Ltd. The
ultimatum will demand the appoint
ment of plenipotentiaries within a
' certain number of hours.
It was announced today that
resident Foincare's official dinner
to the peace plenipotentiaries will
take place Thursday night. It was
originally planned to hold the dinner
on the night of the signing of the
treaty but the uncertainty as to the
date of the ceremony has caused
Thursday to be named definitely for
the dinner irrespective of the time
of the event at Versailles.
Ex-Kalser Willielm Shocked.
AMERONGEN, June 26. News
of Germany's decision to accept the
peace terms, including the clause
providing for the delivery of the
former German emperor to the al
lies, reached the castle late yesterday
evening. Exactly how the former
emperor was affected by the tidings
cannot be ascertained, but the atti
tude of members of his party gives
rise to the belief that the news was
a considerable shock.
When the Associated Tress corre
spondent talked with attendants
they declared the news was already
known 'at the castle. They made
the most scathing criticisms of the
German national assembly for its
action. Evidently they had held to
! the hope that some way would be
found for the former emperor to re
turn to Germany. Now, however, it
apparently is realized that he is ex
iled forever from his country.
The former monarch resumed his
customary log-sawing at the usual
hour.

RESPECT THE UNIFORM
OF YOUR UNCLE SAM
lly Sgt. Alfred T. Redmon
Enter the come-back campaign
against slackers. This drive is not a
belated harangue for soldiers to
"nerve up", and show the Prussians
that we know bow 'to fight. It is an
up-to-t he-second appeal to warriors
and ex-eervice men to spruce up and
show the public that they know how
to honor the uniform. The unwar
ranted practice of wearing the sol
dier uniform mixed with civilian
garb is the key-note of this "push".
Wear the uniform correctly or do not
wear it at all, is the Come-Back's
solution at the evil. All of you know
the distressing picture. IX is In evi
dence in Alliance nearly every day.
Nearly every hamlet of the land can
produce one or more examples of the
former soldier, who wears his un
iform mixed with civilian dress. The
gathering of several of these "part
army and some civic" men often
produces a kalelodcopl scene. All
the colors of Job's cloak are there.
Prequently it is the olibe drab
breeches, from the army uniform, as
sembled with a bright blue coat and
a straw hat. Sometimes It is the
blue trousers, with an army olive
drab blouse. Always the discordant
mixture of khakl with gay colors
Jars the sence of even the civilian
who does not look beyond to what
the uniform means. The habit of
uniting the olive drab with flashing
neckties and other bits of gaudy
mufti, by discharged soldiers, is
much talked of by the persons who
understand army regulations. It is
the topic of conversation on trains
and hotel lobbies. Don't appear
ridiculous or grotesque if you have
the uniform on wear it like a soldier.
We admit that there Is no civilian
law to stop the unseemly arraying of
the khakl against the flowery hues
of mufti apparel. The army does

Last
Sunday's base hall
played at Chadron by the Chadron
team and the Alliance Fire Depart
ment nine proved to be rather a
fizzle. The local boys were never in
better form and their opponents
could muster a crippled team which
contributed to a uninteresting battle.
The Alliance team was able in the
first inning to push a man across the
hortie plate and thereafter quite reg
ularly. The Chadron boys, though
fighting a good fight, considering
their depleted ranks, were not so
fortunate and not until the eighth
inning were they able to score. From
every viewpiont the local team out
played Chadron and the work of
George "Stub" Fennlng on the
found was especially pleasing to
the fans who saw the game. Catch
er McNulty, for Alliance, played in
hia usual form and made base pilfer
ing very difficult for the boys of the
other nine. Ge6ge Nation, at first
accepted several hard chances with
out an error and assisted materially
In shutting out the Chadron team.
The final score, 14 to 3 is evidence
enough of the lack of competition.
The day was ideal for the trip and
game and several cars loaded with
Alliance base ball enthusiasts made
the drive to Chadron to witness the
match. The roads were fairly good
and the journey as a whole a pleas
ant one. Chadron, like many other
western cities is building rapidly; it
is progressing and prosperous and
has ambitions that if realized will
make for a much larger town within
the next five years. It has also, the
citizens claim a much better ball
team than that which opposed Alli
ance on Sunday and promised the
local boys a real game when they
come to this city for the return
match, July 6th; It does need how
ever an awakening of the fans that
such a team may be given the proper
support and that Chadron may be
given her Just place among other
live cities of this section of the state.
Community Club Resolves
The Alliance Community Club has rrown to be and now Is one
of the strongest commercial organizatioi.s of western Nebraska.
This growth and the subsequent strength may be attributed largely
to the perfect unity in which the members of the dub have labored
that the business interests of Alliance and the trade territory might
be furthered; that the farmer and ranchman of the section may reap
full reward for tia part in the building of one of the greatest com
monwealths on Gods green footstool. Within the past few months
in particular aid during the entire life of the organization there
have been those who have been content to "Let George Do It!", and
who have sat idly by and watched the other business men and boost
ers do the work and at the same time fcot the bill. Thl is of
course, not as it should be and at a recent meeting of the board of
directors action was taken in the way of adopting resolutions that,
will do much to eliminate this condition; will at least, bring injo
the limelight those who have, unthoughttdly no doubt, shirked a
public duty. It is not the purpose of the club to hastily take steps
which may prove disadvantageous to any, but it is the intent to
pursue conservative courses in the perfection of an organization
which will prove a still greater power for good and one be
cause of the protection afforded the members and the public against
those who have no interest or part in the upbuilding of western Ne
braska. The resolutions as adopted are as follows:
"Resolved, by the Board of Directors of the Alliance Com
munity Club, that we believe every line of business should be
represented in this organization,' and the secretary is instructed
to use his best efforts with this end in view. If any line is not
represented, and if local individuals or firms in that line refuse
- to affiliate, the secretary Is instructed ,to secure for Alliance a
competing individual or firm which will.
"Resolved, by the Board of Directors of the Alliance Com
munity dub, that we believe the members should know those
business interests of Alliance which' are aiding them In their
support of the organization and those which are refusing'to do
so, in order that as members they may help those who help the ,
community; and therefore the secretary is instructed to Issue at
least once each three months, and to place In the hands of every
member, a classified list showing names and businesses of those
who are enrolled as members in good standing."
No business, it would seem to The Herald, large or small can
afford to neglect doing its full part in the great work made possible
by an effective commercial organization; no man of property, or
citizen with an Interest of any kind, should fall to do his bit In the
attempt to bring to the attention of the outside world the resources
and possibilities of this wonderful garden spot and surely neither
would desire the discredit which Is sure to come to those who refuse
to have a part.
Read the resolutions carefully; think them over and should
your name be not on the roll of honor, join today; If you are a
member but have neglected taking the proper interest, get busy.
The regular meetings of the board of directors, held each Monday
evening, are entirely open meetings and laymen of the organization
will be cordially welcomed. At each such session lunch Is bad and
the only cost to you will be. as it is lo the directors, seventy-five
cents the cost of the meal.
Get out and get busy! Give a helping hand to the strongest
commercial organization doing business In western Nebraska today

COUNTY AGENT
SAYS POTATO
BUGSARE HERE
URGES IMMEDIATE ATTENTION'
THAT SPU CROP RE NtlT
DAMAGED
Possible That Insect .May Heroine
Serious Pest Re fore Harvest Time
Gives Formula. t
County Agricultural Agent George
Neuswanger, has Issued the follow
ing statement as regards the appear
ance of the potato bug in Box- Butte
county ttMs year. The county agent,
though not alarmed at the condition
as It now exists points out that un
less controlled before the hatching
season it may become a very serious
matter before the time the harvest
of the crop. Following is the state
ment by Mr. Neuswanger, together
with a formula for the control dl the
insect:
"The potato bugs, more commonly
known as the Colorado potato beetles
are making their appearance in
rather large numbers on the early
potatoes. If the season is favorable
for the hatching of the eggs the
larvae of this Insect may become a
serious pest before harvest time, al
though very few cases are on record
where the potato bugs have caused
any serious damage in Box Butte
county.
The mature bugs are busy at the
present time laying large numbers of
orange colored eggs on the under
side of the leaves of the potato vine.
The damage actually caused by the
mature bugs themselves Is seldom
serious, the real damage being done
by the larvae, which hatch about one
week after being deposited on the
leaves.
The potato bug Is' not difficult to
control, the most convenient method
being to spray with some arsenical
solution, either Paris green or arsen
ate of lead. The arsenate of lead
has several advantages over the
Paris green In that there Is prac
tically no danger of burning the foli
age, and also that It makes a white
coating on the vines which Is easily
distinguished.
The formula for mixing the solu
tions are:
For young bugs either one nonnd
of Paris green or two pounds of lead
arsenate (powder) to fifty gallons of
water, If the old bugs are to be pois
oned to solutions should be made

there has been no trace obtained of
the thief. Mr. Lotspeich had Just
purchased the machine and this was
his first trip. In the car was a purse
containing some money and a couple
suits of clothing. The officials are
making a diligent Bearch for the stol

good clue as to the Identity of the
guilty party or parties.
