Washington Jan 1.-THE entante
allies, in a note addressed by Arthur
Balfour, British foreign minister, to
Amba ssa dor Spring Rice, and deliv-'
cred today to the state department,
amplify their peace note, by explaining
in detail why they believe it impossi-
bic at present to attain peace which
will assure them such guarantees as
they consider essential. The note al
so explains why the allies demand the
expulsion of Turkey from Europe;
restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to
France, of Italia Irredenta to Italy
and the other territorial changes set
forth.
Those who think the future peace
of the world may be insured by in
ternational treaties and laws, the note
says, have ill-learned the lessons
taught by recent history. After charg-
ing that German influence in Turkey
had resulted in conditions as barbar-
Gus and more aggressive than were
known under Sultan Abdul Hamid
and that it had been shown Germany
cannot be expected to respect-treaty
obligations, Mr.. Balfour says:
Treaty Protection Not Sufficient.
$50 long as Germany remains the
Germany which without a shadow of
| justification overran and barp3rously
ill-treated a country il was pledged to
defend, no state can regard it's rights
as secure if they have no better pro-
lection than a solemn treaty"
Asserting that Belgium was not Ger
many's only victim and that "neutraIs
were intended to note outrages which
accompanied it's conquest" the note
recites the reign of terror attendant
upon Germanys method of warfare"
and in that connection, says:
THE war stats of the central pow
ers were well content to horrify the
world If they can at the same time
/ terrorize it."
Durable Peace Desfrsd.
The people of Great Britain, Mr..
| Balfour says, share President Wilson's
| desire for peace. but do not believe
| it can be durable unless based on the
| success of the allied cause. Such a
peace, it is argued. cannot be expect
ed unless these three conditions are
| fulfilled; that existing causes of in
| ternationaI unrest shall be as far as
possible removed or weakened: that
| the aggressive aims and the unscrup-
ulous methods of the central powers
| shall fall into disrepute among their
own peoples; and finally that behind
the international law and behind all
treaty arrangeents for preventing or

FRANCES PRoTEcToRATE
OVER MOROCCO
Is Recognized in a Note by Secretary
of State Lansing.

Washington, Jan. II. - Frances
protectorate over Morocco is recog-
nized by the United States in a note
handed Ambassador Jusserand today
by Secretary Lansing. The note says
the action is taken Notwithstanding
the present conflict in Europe, in order
to meet the wishes of the French gov
ernment and people, for whom the
government and people of the United
States entertain a traditional and sin
cere friendship"
Negotiations on this subject have
been under way internittentIy since
France and Spain partitioned Moroc-
co in 1912, but the United States has
UP to now withheld recognition on the
ground that she should not be the
first nation to take such action in
that part of the world, where her in
terests are very indirect.
The United States heretofore has
uniformly declined to recognize terri
toriaI changes during the course of
the ar, wbut it is held that this change
is entirely independent of the war. and
was initiated before hostilities broke
out.

SUNK FiFTEEN VESSELS
During the Last Month in the South
Atlantic Ocean.
GER NAN RAIDER HAS

Rio Janeiro, Jan. II. = A German
raider for the past month has been
sinking vessels of the entente allied
powers in the South Atlantic. Latest
reports fix the number at fifteen. Sur
vivors of the destroyed vessels to the
number of 237 have been landed at
Pernambuco and the fate of nearly $50
men is still unknown.
The first official statements given out
here regarding the raider were that
seven vessels had been sunk and nine
captured. In a communication to the
minister of marine the captain of the
port of Pernambuco declared he had
learned the raider had also sunk eight
of the vessels which were at first re-
ported merely captured. Their crews,
the fate of which is not knoWn, NUM-
beredf 441
It is reported that the raider placed
on board the British steamer arrow
dale these crews, which then proceed
ed for port. 1t is therefore, believes
they will be safely landed within a day
or two.
Z Another report has been received to
the effect that the St. Thtodore has
been transformed into a raider.
The chamber of commerce and con-
sulates at Pernambuco are devoting
much attention to the care of the ship
wrecked crews. There is no confirm
alton whatever of the alleged loss of
four hundred lives.

Switzerland, Sweden, Denmark and
reply of the entente allies to the re-

Poultry Show at Tri-State Fair Prom
ises to BE One of Greatest Sights
Ever Seen.

The Poultry Show at the Tri-State
Fair is one department that has made
nationwide name for itself. No
other poultry show in the South COM
pares with 1t, either in number or
quality of exhibits Over 5000 birds
will be shown this year, Sept. 22 to
29, by the leading fanciers OF America.
So great has been the increase in ex-
hibits it has been found necessary to
employ six experts to do the Judging,
where two have been used in former
years.
The judges this year will be:
f. G. Branch, Lees Summit, Mo.
H. p. Schwab, Rochester, N. Y.
Cnas. V Keller, Winamae, Ind.
Frank e. Buck, Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma.
Mrs. Florence Forbes, New Deca-
tur, Ala.
E. III. Gaiusha, Ensley, Ala
They will remain during the fair to
talk poultry to visitors who are inter-
ested In this up-to-date subject.

ONE OF IMPORTANT CHANGES
AT MEMPHIS TRl.sTATE FAIR
WILL BE VERY PLEASING.
JUDGE FOUR RINGS AT ONCE
The Importance Of the Live Stock Elk
hibit Is Recognized by the Manage
ment and Adequate Facilities
Are Provided.

Regular visitors to the Tri-State
Fair will hardly recognize the inte-
rior of the various exhibit buildings
this year. The plan and scope of the
exhibits In nearly every department
has received a general overhauling
since the last fair necessitating
changes in the buildings in order to
show the new exhibits. These changes
arc of a character that will add great
~ to the attractiveness of the dis
plays. New touches have been added
here and there and the general plan
will undoubtedly meet with approval.
An addition to the agricultural de-
partment, which is expected to prove
a most pleasing and useful one. is the
large number of charts that will &C.
company the exhibits and the COM
pI0te manner in which the exhibits
will be labeled
Another addition, which will be a
great improvement, is the erection Of
: Live Stock Pavilion, In which to
Judge the cattle. This is large enough
to judge three or four rings at time,
and has ample seating capacity to
take care Of the large crowds who
usually watch the judging with in
terest
Fully twice as much stock will be
on display this year as in former
years, and this judging pavilion will
prove great convenience, both to ex-
hibitors and visitors.
