Cotton Seed Price Reduced

The counties of Robson, Scotland
Richmond, Hoke, Lee and Moore wert
Tuesday transferred by State Food AID
ministrator Henry A. Page from cotton
seed zone No. 2 to zone No. l, and effect
i've at once the price for seed in these
counties will be $40 per ton instead of S72
The crushers In the counties named
and also in Union and Arson counties
have claimed that the products from the
seed in these counties this year are
worth SIS less than the basis upon which
the price of cottonseed had been fixed
Mr.. Page had refused to reduce the price
of cottonseed in the counties named by
any such figure and upon partial informa.
ton from number of these counties had
declined to make any change in the price,
Further analysis and records from mum.
Der of the counties, including Administra.
traitor Psge's home county, show conclu.
sively that the average yield of oil from
the seed in these counties is considerably
less this year than it was last year, hence
the change of zones for these counties.
Further analysis are being made of seed
in Arson and Union counties and the
status of these counties will be determin.
ed within the next two or three days.

/ The Allies are smashing through

sive on a 20-mile front and bag
ged $4,000 Germans, drove them
from Cambria and St. Quentin,
and now at last the entire Hin

In Macedonia the Allies still
have the Turks on the run, and
a peace proposal from Turkey is
expected daily.
Bulgaria, as stated last issue,
is definitely out Of the war, her
army now being djsbanded and
her arms and supplies turned
over to the Allies
On the whole, the situation
looks rosy. Germany has at last
publicly confessed that she can
not win the war; she knows we
have her on the jump. And to|
save her face, she now proposes
to talk peace" The only talk
ing" that will be done will be the
imposing of terms by the Allies.
A nation that tricked the Rus
slams and Roumanians at a So
called peace" table, will not be
given the chance to trick our
soldiers who have suffered and
died that such a barbarious peo-
pie might not be again permitted
to devastate the world. And the
people of Richmond county and
of the United States will rise as
one and heartily approve the
course of our government in de-
handing that before an armistice
can be concluded, every German
soldier must be removed from
Allied soil!
The voice of Jacob is calling
from Germany, but it is the hand
of Esau that is still in control
there. And the prediction is
that NO PEACE IS YET IN
SIGHT. 1t is not expected that
Germany. will willingly withdraw
her soldiers. and so the only al
tentative will be for the Allied
armies under General Foch to
continue whipping them until
they shall have been FORCED
to their own borders-and then
let us hope an equal amount of
German country will be demol-
ished for every foot of French
and Belgian territory devastated
by the Huns!

most momentous of the entire
war. 1t witnessed an unsuccess-
full attempt upon the part of
Germany to attain peace by
negotiation" and right now is
in progress the greatest battle of
all time.
Last week the Kaiser made a
change in his Chancellors, ap-
pointing Prince Macmillan in
place of Won Hertling. On Sun.
day tine new Chancellor dispatch.
ed to the President of the United
States the following note:
THE German government requests the
President of the United States to take ir
hand the restoration of peace, acquaint al
the belligerent states of this request and
invite them to send plenipotentaires fol-
the purpose of opening negotiations.
1T accepts the program set forth by
the President of the United States in his
message to Congress on January 9th and
in his later announcements, especially
his speech of September 9th, as basis
for peace negotiations.
with view to avoiding further blood
shed, the German government requests
the immediate conclusion of an armistice
on land and water and in in the air."
This note from Germany was
transmitted to the President
Monday, and Tuesday he replied
thereto with a note which will
soon show whether the German
proposal is sincere or merely a
pretension. His answer is as
follows:
Before making reply to the request
OF the Imperial German Government, and
in order that the reply shall be as candid
and straightforward as the momentous
interests involved require the President
of the United States deems it necessary
to assure himself of the exact meaning of
the note of the Imperial Chancellor. Does
the Imperial Chancellor mean that the
Imperial German Government accepts the
terms laid down by the President in his
address to the Congress of the United
States on the 9th of January last and in
subsequent addresses and that its object
in entering into discussions would only
be to agree upon the practical details of
their application?
The President feels bound to say
with regard to the suggestion of an arm
istice that he would not feel at liberty to
propose cessation of arms to the gov
ernments with which the government tof
the United States is associated against
the Central Powers so long as the armies
OF those powers are upon their soil. The
good faith of any discussion would mani
testify depend upon the consent of the
Central Powers Immediately to withdraw
their forces everywhere from invaded
territory.
"The President also feels that he is
justified in asking whether the Imperial
Chancellor Is speaking merely for the
constituted authorities of the Empire
who have so far conducted the war. He
deems the answer to these questions vital
from every point of view"
The Germans want to make a
peace by negotiation" They
know they are defeated, and yet,
the sneaks that that they are,
they are trying for an armistice,
a let-up in the strange hold of
the Allies that they may get
their wind and start all over
again. And this is exactly what
the President will not consent to.
AS the basis for peace, every
German soldier must be with
drawn from Invaded soil whit
