Five of the six men endorsed by the Nonpartisan league us candi date for the constitutional conven tion were nominated at the primary election Tuesday, out of a field of 25.

GERMANY WILL CANCEL UNION WITH AUSTRIA Teutons to Swallow Bitter Pill Prescribed In Allied Terms. (Staff Corrnpondi'nt fnlvenuil Service.) Special Cable Dlnpatch, Berlin, Sept. 17. Germany will comply with the demand of the al lied supreme council to declare nyll and void the objectionable para graph in the German constitution looking to Austria's union with Germany and providing for Aus trian representation in the German Reichstrat, or Council of the Realm, which may be compared to our sen ate. Though it is maintained that the allied demand does violence to the self-determination of peoples which is one of the fundamental principles in President Wilson's 14 points, and the foreign relations committee is deliberating today with the govern ment as to the action to be taken in reply to the allied note, it can be said that the German government considers itself helpless to oppose the allied demand. Several members of the cabinet are for letting the allies carry out the threat to occupy Frankfort-on-the-Main in the event of Germany's refusal, but the majority appears to be for sending delegates to Paris empowered in the name of the gov ernment to make a protocol com plying with the supreme council's demands. "It's a bitter pill, but we are help less and must swallow it," remarked one of the leading ministers of the cabinet. "The foreign relations committee undoubtedly will come to the same conclusion today." Assailants Leave Body of -Murdered Woman in Road Salt -Lake, Sept. 17.
