COTTON MILLS SHUT
DOWN AT NOON TODAY
Lancaster Cotton Mills Not Included
In List of $50 to Close
Until Monday.

Approximately $50 cotton mills in
the piedmont section of North and
South Carolina will be closed down
from noon today until Monday
morning on account OF fuel shortage
and low water in the streams OF the
section, from which the hydro-elec-
trio power furnished them by the
Southern Power company is devel-
oped, according to official announce
ment from the offices of the COM
pany Thursday afternoon.
The company's own plants will not
close down nor will any industry
other than cotton milling be affect
ed, according to the company's state
ment, which also says that there will
be no curtailment in the municipal
lighting systems in the Carolinas
which are supplied by the company.
1t is pointed out that only one full
day will be lost by the cotton mills.
as they close from noon Saturday un-
til Monday morning under normal
conditions. They will be supplied
with light as usual.
The fact that the streams OF the
section are frozen is factor in the
shortage OF water power, and 1t is
the hope OF the company that milder
weather between now and Monday
will relieve the situation to a great
extent, both by melting the ice in the
streams and by melting the snow
which covers the section.
The News was informed this
morning by the Lancaster Cotton
Mills that II was not included in the
list to close down and would run as
usual, as the mill is not using South
ern Power but makes it's own.

WHO HAS BEEN KIDDING
POSTMASTER GENERAL?
He Hears His WreIched Mail Ser
vice Has Been "at Highest
Standard OF Efficiency"

Washington, Jan. 4.-Postmaster-
General Albert Sidney Burleson is
sued New Year greeting to the Off
cials and employees of the postoffice
department in which he states that
information received by me through
many sources shows that the service
is now conducted at the highest
standard of efficiency in its history. :"
All hail to this valuable bit of Gin
formation received by me" for the
hundreds OF thousands of patrons of
the United States mails will wonder
where Mr.. Burleson got hold of such
reports During the year 1917, ac-
cording to reliable information, pos
aibly not everybody" the mail ser
vice under Mr.. Burleson's system Of
curtailment of expenditures has been
the worst in the history of that pop
ular branch of the government Mail
deliveries have been cut off, serious
delays have taken place, letters have
been lost in transit, and altogether
the patrons of Uncle Sans postoffice
department have been treated to a
most unsatisfactory service 1t may
be true that Mr.. Burleson has saved
the government some money, but in
so doing it he has crippled the mail
service in all directions and has
brought down upon him and his as
s!stants sharp criticism.

Constantine Plotting
Uprising in Greece
Two Officers Landed by u.
Boat Confess Conspiracy
Against Venizelos

ATHENS. March 25.-The purpose of
former King Constantine in sending the
two Greek officers who were arrested
recently after being landed on the west
coast Of the Peloponnesus by German
submarine was TO lay the foundations
for an uprising against the govern
ment, according to depositlons made by
the officers and read in the Chamber of
Deputies to-day by Premier Venizelos.
The officers were disguised rs beg
gars when arrested. They were recog-
nized as belonging to the Greek army
corps which has been interned in Ger
many since the time of the Bulgarian
advance into Northeastern Greece, in
1916.
One of Constantinc's aids persuaded
the officers to undertake the mission to
Greece. They went to Berlin, where
money was provided, and were sent to
Pola and put on board the submarine.
Their instructions were to sound the
sentiments of the Greek army, ascer-
tain the positions of the Greek and AL
lied troops on the Macedonian front.
and obtain information as to points on
the Greek coast where submarines
might land arms for a rising against
Premier NeAizelos. One Of the officers

Lichnowsky Tells How Ne
gotiations in 1912 Were
Wrecked
Another War Sacrifice
Stockholm Newspaper Prints
New Section of Personal
Memorandum

STOCKHOLM, March 27.-Further
sections of the memorandum which
Prince Lichnowsky, German Ambas-
sador at London when the war began,
wrote for the purpose Of justifying his
position to personal friends are pub
lished by the "Politiken." organ of the
extreme left of the Socialists. In the
preceding sections Prince Lichnowsky
described his efforts to obtain better
understanding between Germany and
England after his appointment as am
1assador to England IN 1912, and how
they were thwarted because of the per-
sistence Of the German Foreign Office
in backing up the Austrian view on
Eastern questions, the following out of
which he felt would lead to a collision
with Russia and a world war.
The new portions of the memo
randum deal principally with the nego-
tiations over the Anglo-G German CO.
lonial treaty. Prince Lichnowsky re-
marks at the outset that the good re-
lations he had established in London
had effected a noticeable improvement
in Germany's relations with England.
Sir Edward Grey. the British Foreign
Minister, devoted himself honestly to
this rapprochement, says the prince,
and his intentions to this end were
csnecially noticeable regarding the CO.
lonial treaty and the Bagdad railway.
In 1898. continues Prince Lichnow
