There has been general and very satisfac-
tory response of subscribers of The Banner who
were in arrears, so that The Banner will start in
on April 1 with an absolutely paid-in-advance
list. Only few have not yet paid in advance,
and it is the expectation that all such will make
remittance by mail or call at The Banner office
and make payment before April 1. BY doing so
they will not miss copy of the paper. Accord
ing to the notice given for the past two months,
the payment -in-advance system goes into effect
on April l. and ON that date the names of those
who have not paid in advance will be dropped
from the mailing list, this being literal and alb,
soute compliance with the rule OF the postoffice
department which has heretofore been fully ex7
planned If you are among the few who have not
vet paid in advance, please attend to it before
April so that the paper will not stop going to
to you.

Washington, March PA state.
ment made public at the White House
makes It plain that President Wilson
will not again urge William F. Nc
Combs, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, to accept the OF.
flee of ambassador to France. This af-
fair is closed incident as far as the
president Is concerned. The president
expresses regret that acceptance OF
the appointment was impossible. He
says:
Il am very sorry indeed that Mr..
McCombs can not accept the appoint
ment to France. was particularly
anxious that he should My admira
ton for his ability, my knowledge Of
his singular capacity for grasping
complex situations, my confidence In
his tact and resourcefulness as well
as my affection for him and the inti-
mate relations that of course exist be.
tween us, combine to make my disap.
pointment very great indeed. But
of course appreciate the force of the
reasons he gives. He would have &C.
cepted at an unreasonable sacrifice
and ! could not further press the offer
upon him. II is a great pity that the
country has to- ask such sacrifices OF
those who are invited to serve It
abroad-a service which every year
becomes more exacting and more i'm
| portant. The sacrifice Of time, OF
means and of opportunity at home Is
very serious for any. but men of large
means and leisure, and the diplomatic
service is necessarily hampered.'
This second part Of the statement
carries the first official announcement.
Of the presidents impatience at the
accepted belief that only men OF
wealth can afford to accept important
diplomatic appointments. 1t has been
known for some time that Mr.. Wilson
did not like to feel that his list OF
available men to do the important
work Of the American foreign service
was limited to men of large means
President Wilson's policy thus fa'
has been to pick his men without re
gard to their wealth. 1t Is believed he
will adhere to this policy.

desire is to Inch a Negro and not
particularly to punish the man guilty
