either side to the controversy.
 lntimations have been received in Paris that overtures for resumption of the conferences of the disputed ques- tions would receive every attention in Rome and would not be unacceptable but it has been asserted in Paris that the prevailing sentiment among the delegates of France, Great Britain and the United States is opposed to re- questing the Italian delegates to re- turn.
 It has been added, however, that if the Italians should evince a disposi- ton to give up their claims to Plume and accept President Wilson's sugges- tion on the controversy, the president, in the interest of harmony, doubtless could make suggestions which would permit of a continuation of the discus sions without sacrifice of dignity by the Italians.
 President Wilson and the other members of the council are declared to be unwilling to consider Plume for the Italians even if such a refusal would result in Italy finding herself not able to sign the peace treaty. Thomas Nel- son Page, the American ambassador to 1 Italy, has conferred at length with Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino and telegraphed a report to Paris.
 Although reports still persist that Munich has been completely invested by government troops, the expected attack on the soviet forces apparently has not begun.
 The British war office in an official statement expresses the belief that ice
 in the Dvina river in northern Russia
 had passed out to sea and that the river is open for navigation as far as kotlas. If this should. be fact, it may 1 presage the early embarkation fol home of the American forces fighting l on the Archangel front

 The 5Sth went to Camp WadsWorth and did not go overseas.
 The exercises on the lawn followed a street parade of the men who had just been discharged at Camp Devens. The spectacle was a wonderful one by reason of the blending of colors of the groups of men in uniform on the green turf, the picturesque and high color ings of the Foot Guards and Putnam PhalanX of the escort, the gray and blue of the Spanish War Veterans and the blue of hundreds of sailors with the tints of female attire among the thousands of spectators.

 bands and escort on the west. Gov ernor Holcomb and his party walked directly to the front center and every
 soldier and sailor sprang to correct attitude at an order.

 l Governor Holconnb replied that these l colors would be placed beside the bat 1 tie scared flags of the Civil and Span ish wars. Colonel Goodman, who com manded the old First Connecticut an6 l the 5Sth Pioneers, then presented the i flags of his regiment, and these the
 governor accepted with brief re- i sponse. Captain Barbour offered the colors of the 304th regiment, and these were turned over.
 i The placing of them within the cap itoI followed. The parade was dis
 missed and the veterans became the

the present Treaty; and finally it would de
stroy any kind of industrial cooperation"
This is the reasoning of business judg-
ment as well as of stanch Americanism, and
it applies as cogently to those who would dis
spate the Treaty by amendment as we'll as
to those who would reject it outright. For
if the great principles in which this Treaty
is grounded be sacrificed and the great hopes
which it sustains be shattered, it will matter
little whether insdious amendments or
frontal assaults did the disastrous work.
There are enemies of the League Covenant,
enemies of the President, enemies of the
Allies, enemies, in effect, Of peace and Of
humanity who would stab the Treaty under
the pretense of merely interpreting or
amending it. But the real friends of peace,
whatever appropriate reservations or con-
structions they may make in distinct reso-
luton, will not join the Republican de-
stroyers.

Georgia Farreaching Need
OF Warehouse Facilitie,
PROPOs of a cotton factors recent

a PROPOS of cotton factors recent
~ statement that lack of adequate
warehouse room has cost Georgia
more money in the last twelve months than
it would take to build a brick warehouse in
every cotton county of the State" the Rome
News sensibIy remarks:
Here is the thing at hand, and it
presents a challenge to the citizenship
of our communities and our common
tiles and our commonwealth. Ware
houses diYersification, hog and hominy,
raised at home, and the thing is settled.
Along with this diversification must
come marketing facilities in each center
of trade in the south for hogs and other
farm produce besides cotton.
This is a program which if duly carried
out will not only save millions of wealth
now going to waste but also will develop
many millions of new values. 1t will not
only prevent the loss Of large quantities OF
cotton through exposure and fire, and the
sacrifice of incaleulable sums through
forced sales in an unfavorabIe market, but
will also encourage food production to an
extent that will mean uhexampled pros
perity.
Adequate storage facilities are peculiar
ly essential part of marketing service-and
on that service, competent students all agree,
GeOrgia's agricultural future vitality depends.
There must be curing plants a-plenty if farm
ers are TO be warranted to raising sweet pO-
tatoes in accordance with growing nation
wide demand. There must be packing plants
a-plenty if hog and cattle production are to
go steadily forward. There must be bean
mills, oil mills, canning plants, refrigerating
plants, grain elevators and storage facilities
for every farm product if the States rich op-
portunities are indeed to be developed. There
is field of enterprise which every county
should take keen and constructive interest.

THE PRINCELY PEANUT.
(The Vidalia Advance)

Peanuts are bringing a fine price this fall
and the farmers of those sections that planted
largely in this crop a4e making fa- more
money than those that have contended WITH
boil weevil infested cotton. The sections sur
rounding Vidalia are unsurpassed for the
growing of peanuts and we would be glad to
see large area planted another year.
We understand that they are bringing about
$3.50 ton on the marke., and ton can cas-
lily be grown on an acre of land. The cost OF
growing peanuts is not as much the
wing of {, more 2 ear money can
be made on them than on cotton, especially
when we have the boil weevil to contend
with. II the farmers OF this section will get
together and resolve to plant large acreage
in peanuts the coming year the oil mill in vi
dalia will put in machinery for crushing them
While we are talking about diversity of crops
let's try few acres Of peanuts to each pillow.
