WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The text
# the note, according to the German
Tbassy, includes the suggestion
hat the nations return practically"
o antebellum territorial status. Ex-
,mptions are to be made in the estab-
ishment of Independent Poland and
.ithuania and some REIMBURSEMENT of
he international boundaries Of the
jalkans. The latter question is com
)licated and it is hard at this time
to definitely suggest anything like
positive terms that will be acceptable
70 all.
Bulgaria to Have Territory Lost in
Second Balkan War.
One concrete suggestion is that
Bulgaria probably wants the return
Of the territory lost in the second
Balkan war. 1t is supposed that Ger
many guaranteed this when the Bull
garians joined the Teutons.
Restoration Of Belgium Proposed
The terms include the evacuation
of northern France, the restoration
of Belgium and at least a partial
restoration of Serbia and Rumania
and the return of Germany's colonies
Factors that Caused the Proposals
Among the factors tina have caus-
ed the proposals now are: The fav-
orable Teutonic military situation;
the fact that winter is on which ne
cessitates cessation of fighting for
three months; desire to "smoke
out" the Allies to announce what they
are fighting for; desire to convince
the world that Germany is not fight
ing conquest war and desire to
let the world know that Germany
will not be responsible for further
bloodshed.
Terms not Final
The embassy intimated the terms
outlined by Germany we're not neces-
sarily final.

UNUSUAL LITIGATION.

Mrs. Elda B. Boyd, of Calhoun
Falls, has commenced an action in
the court Of Common Pleas, against
Ernest L. Boyd, of the same plcae,
to set aside certain deeds and con-
veyances for fraud. Mrs. Boyd al
leges that she was formerly the wi
dow of John G. Calhoun, of Palatka,
Fla, and as such became interested
in the estate of James Edward Cal
houn of this county. She later mar
ried Granville Beal, and acquired a
house and lot under his will, the
house and lot being in the town of
Calhoun Falls, and valued at $4,000.
After the death of Mr.. Beal, it is
alleged, that she married the defend
ant, Ernest L. Boyd, and appointed
him her confidential agent and ad-
wiser, and turned over the manage
ment of her business to him entirely,
and that he had so managed it as to
vest the title of every vestige of her
property in himself. Some Of the
deeds she alleges were procured by
fraud, in that he represented the pa
pers to be what they were not, and
not being acquainted whit legal mat
ters, she signed same believing they
were intended for other purposes.
Others Of the deeds she alleges were
procured from her at times when she
was unable to know what she was
doing on account of her physical and
mental condition. She asks that all
the deeds and other transactions by
which the defendant procured an ad-
vantage to himself be set aside and
declared void.
She is represented in the litiga-
ton by Messrs. D. q. Hill and VIM.
P. Greene. The property involved
in the litigation is worth something
like $4,000. The case will be fol-
lowed with interest.
