VIVELlE'S APPOINTMENT
POPULAR WITH FRENCH
Change in Cabinet Not So
RadicaI--JOffre on War
Committee
CHy Associated Press.)


PARIS. Dec. 13.-The new cabinet
srOuses but moderate enthusiasm in the
press The morning papers point out
that seven ministers and two under
secretaries belong 10 the preceding ad-
ministration so that the change is not
so radical as might be expected. At
the same time the appearance OF NJ
Claveille and NJ. Loucheur as technical
experts is welcomed.
The most popular features OF the re-
organization are the appointments OF
General Herbert Lyautey as minister
OF war and General Nivelle as successor
to Joffre as commSnder-in-chief OF the
western front. All the newspapers print
photographs OF General Nivelle under
the title OF zone OF the wars revela-
tons" Long biographies are also pub
iished recalling the generals brilliant
stroke in recaptUring Forts Douaumont
and Vauz on the Verdun front. The pa
pers also say thaV the fact that General
Nivells is half English-his mother hav-
ing belonged to a well known Kentish
military family-makes his appointment
particularly acceptable across the chan
eel.
Jules Cambon continues in his post as
general secretary OF the foreign office.

What Teutonic Embassy
Looks for in PROPOSAL

Recent dispatches TO the German
embassy indicate a belief that the
general terms might be in substance
as follows:
A restoration of the status quo ex-
listing before the war. This includes
the evacuation of Belgium and the re-
storation of the occupied portions of
northern France with the exception OF
Alsace and Lorraine. No authorized
expression was obtained from the en-
bassy as to whether conditions would
be attached to the restoration of Bel
GUM and French territory, but it was
understood that the German idea was
to make provision for the future neu-
trality of Belgium and probably pro-
pose defortification, particularly of
the city Of Antwerp. 1t was also under
stood that no conditions amounting to
economic control of the mineral lands
of northern France would be likely
to be asked. All Germany's lost
colonies she expects to be returned.
Her possessions in the Pacific, how
ever are not a subject of great con
Germ and the Berlin government is
understood to be ready to relinquish
the claim on Klau Chau.
The security of Turkey in possess
sion or ConStantlnople PROBABLY WOuli
be insisted upon by the central pow
ers, as well as the restoration of
Albania.
The establishment of Independent
kingdoms in Lithuania and Poland
would be one of the factors in the
German proposal. although that part
of Poland possessed by Germany AT
the outbreak of the war would not
be included.
What adjustment would be made to
cover the Trentino region between
Austria and Italy, or any provisions
affecting Egypt, the Suez canal, Me-
sopotamia or the gateways of control
to the Indian empire are not made
clear in German quarters here. The
Balkan situation is considered so deli
cate it would have to be untangled in
the peace conference.

$4,000 Per Month
More Is Offered for
Release of w. & A.

From reliable authority it was learned
Wednesday. that the Nashville, Chatta-
nooga and st. Louis railroad has offered
TO release the Western and Atlantic
railroad from the state for a period OF
forty-seven years at a monthly rental
price of $4,000. which is just $4,000
a month more than is now received un
der the old lease. 1t is understood that
The Nashville. Chattanooga and st. Louis
wants the road as it stands, and that
any provisions for a plaza in Atlanta
or for double-tracking the road would
mean a lesser rental. The Western
and Atlantic railroad commission is still
negotiating with the Nashville, Chatta
nOosa and st. Louis over the various
details ami il may be several weeks
Jefore an agreement is reached.

(By Associated Press. J


WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Based
upon information from their home
governments the entente diplomats
here believe Germany's terms are in
general about as follows:
Restoration of Belgium, but with
conditions which would practically
leave it under German control and
probably give over the port of Ant
werp to Germany.
Restoration of the occupied por-
tions of northern France, but with
economic control which would guar
antee to Germany supplies of iron
and other raw materials drawn from
mere.
Domination of Mesopotamia by
Germany and Austria to give them
a path to the Persian gluf and break
Englands gateway to India and
Egypt.
To award to Bulgaria ali of Serbia
as far south as Nish, which would
take from Serbia as much territory
as she gained in the Balkan wars.
They expect Germany will demand
the return of her African colonies or
at least propose to exchange them
for the French colonies.
Turkeys interests are considerable
minor affair and not fully develop
ed in consideration of peace.
The attitude of the Balkan nations
of the, Germanic allies, it is eX-
pected. will be set forth in the notes
which have been dispatched from
Sofia and Constantinople and moth
ing of them is known at the Balkan
legations here, except that Bulgaria
probably will expect to get Mace

belonged to her. making the Danube
the boundary between Bulgaria and
Rumania and shutting the latter

INTERNATIONAL ORDER OF
1WEL\E.

The thirteenth annual session o.
the Knights and Daughters o.
Tabors In Oklahoma, has closed on,
OF the most successful meetings In
the l'.'.ry Of the organization.
g. order ranks as the Oldest
'a !, Negro secret order in Amer.
i.g his order had its conception
n Nij. Its controlling principles
Wei, ..sct upon the freedom of the
Negro slaves. Those principles were
organized and rutured in the fertile
brain OF that grand old man. Moses
Dixon. who was to the American
Negro what Moses was to the child
ren OF Israel From band OF
small believers IL has developed into
one of the strongest Negro organiza-
tions in this country. The jurisdic-
tion of Oklahoma is in better condi-
ton financially than anv order In
the state. This is not an extrava-
CANT claim. Physical facts and con-
structive evidence eliminates all
doubt and superstition.
The porsonel OF this organization
most particularly the cabinet. stim-
ulates confidence and generates en-
thusiasm. The chief Grand Mentor,
Hon. Seth Neal is a man of studious
habits and executive ability. He po-
sesses all the qualities of n true
leader. He has been chief Grand
Mentor for several years. He ia
never reelected by any click. bunch
or machine nor does he seek re-nom-
ination his honesty in Office, pro-
gressive ideas are such that an at
tempt to defeat him would be a
huge Joke. Not only Is this true
Of Sir Neal, but ii is equally true
of his cabinet. Men like Sirs Toomb.
Franklin, Smallwood, Jackson and
Anderson.
The insurgents, II any there be,
get but little consolation In this
great organization. The organiza-
tion is placed upon such high
plane until il would be next to
sacreligious for one to attempt to
disrupt things To satisfy his person
al spleen.
This order is conspicuous for the
absence OF the trickster," "medi-
cine makers and general fixers"
II Is indeed pace setter for other
orders who spend much time each
year in try ng TO defeat the head OF
the organization.
Here is the real condition OF the
knights and Daughters OF Tabor In
the International order OF Twelve:
Membership, $500.
Collections this year $500.
Paid death claims, S3,O5O.
Claims unpaid, $50.
Cash on hand endowment depart

Cash in other departments $500.
