 The President was received with mill itary honors as he arrived at the for eign office and the large crowds which had congregated gave him a cordial welcome as he passed through. The delegates already were assembled when the President entered the council cham Der.
 When he entered the chamber the President was greeted by Premier Clemenceau, Foreign Secretary Balfour and viscount Milner of Great Britain and the American delegates at the head of the table.

 Washington. February 14.-Leaders in Congress read the plan for sub league of nations in press dispatches from Paris today without formal com ment and most of them were most guarded in their observations even in cloak room and office discussions. Their silence was prompted by a desire for careful study of the leagues proposed constitution, not by disinterest, and there were evidences that much of the little remaining time of the present session would be given over to speeches on the subject beginning on the next day or two.
 In neither Senate nor House was ther+ any comment today, although the press dispatches were sought and read with keen interest. The articles dealing with arbitration and disarmament were read on the House floor during consideration of the army appropriation bill by Repre- sentative Harrison of Mississippi, demo- crat and were greeted with scattering ap-

 After having read Article NIX Presi- dent Wilson also stopped and said:
 Let me say that before being enl- bodied in this document this was the subject matter of very careful dis cussion by representatives of the 1.-Two greater parties. and that their unani- nous conclusion is the matter em- bodied in this article"
 After having read the entire docu- ment. President Wilson continued as follows:
 Ut gives mo pleasure to add to this formal reading of the result of our la bors that the character of the discuss sion which occurred at the sittings of the commission was not only of the most constructive but of the most en- couraging sort.

Savannah, Ga, February IA. Fire which for five hours swept Hutchinson Island, the site of the Seaboard Air Line railway terminals, finally was brought under control about 8 o'clock tonight, following the dying out of the wind, which at times had reached proportion of a gale. The damage, largely to cotton and the plant and stock of the Southern Fertilizer and Chemical company, was vari- ously estimated to run into millions.
 According to reports tonight, the
 blaze started in the motor room of the
 fertilizer plant. located just west or the Seaboard terminals. Famed by the strong wind. the flames leaped to
 the docks of the Seaboard Air Line, on
 which thousands of bales of cotton and
 large quantities of naval stores were piled. awaiting export. Two British steamers were quickly moved from the path of the flames and. made room for a score or more tugs which fought the flames from the water side
 A heavy smoke screen curtained the activity on the island from the thou
 sands watching the fire from the city

 Officers of the Southern Fertilizer company stated their plant was valued at s225.00O with a stock on hand val ued at $750.000. It could not be stated what part of this would be salvased. Losses on cotton and railway prop erty were placed as high as sl,o0o,0oo.

Counter Proposals
Friday.

Fifteen days are allowed the Aus

Allies the same period of time that
was accorded the Germans, although
in the case of the Germans this was
slightly extended when appeal was
made that it would be impossible TO
formulate the counter proposals on
the specified date.
Reports from Paris are to the eff
feet that the issue over Fiume and
the Dalmatian Islands is still the
subject of discussion between the
Italians and President Wilson, Pre-
mier Lloyd George and Premier Glenn
enceau. Prior to the departure of Or
lando for st. German Monday, Col.
House of the American peace delega-
ton conferred on the subject with
the Italian premier.
The expectation is that the reply
of the Allied and associated govern
ments to the German counter propos-
ais will be made Friday. Whether
there are to be any concessions made

that the peace terms as originally
formulated would mean the ruin OF

doing things differently now and the
organization that cannot keep pace

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.
Mr.. Watson Points Out the Import
anCe OF Establishing New
Cemetery.
Mr.. A. B. Jordan, Editor,
The Dillon Herald,

Dillon, S. C.
Ny Dear Mr.. Jordan:
You will recall, l am sure, the
conversations that We have had from
time to time for the past two or
three years on the subject Of new
cemetery, and as the situation with
regard to lots has reached that point
where some definite steps are abso-
lutely necessary if we are TO have a
place to bury our dead am ad-
dressing YOU this communication -
hoping that through the medium OF
your paper and your personal ef-
forts, with the cooperation of others
equally Interested - that some ar
rangements can and will be made
without delay TO procure desirable
location and immediately begin to
get everything in shape to close a
deal. AS an officer IN our present
cemetery l am in a position possibly
to urge this matter more strenuous
ly than perhaps others. To begin
with, the present cemetery is very
badly located, both as to site and
loafers. 1t is almost impossible TO
keep a pump on the premises. If
any ribbons are left around flowers
placed on the graves, in the after
noon, more than likely the next morn
ing the ribbon has disappeared and
the flowers, if not removed, are
torn up. / have found little monu-
ments completely turned over, the re-
suit Of loafing element that inhab-
its the cemetery usually at night. All
of these features are bad, yet this
is not the worst part of it. 1t is the
scarcity of lots. 1t is true we have a
little more land that can be taken
in, and quite likely additional land
can be bought from some of the ad-
joining PROPERTY owners, but even
with this, it will only be question
of a short time before We would have
to make new arrangements and my
idea is to do this now and get the
new association in such shape as
will enable it to employ a reliable
man to look after the property and
keep it in proper shape the year
around. This can be done by each
lot and stock holder paying small
amount monthly or yearly, if he pre-
fers. The details can all be worked
out after we have secured desirable
location, and 1 merely mention the
above so that those who are interest
ed may understand that we have in
mind keeping the new cemetery in
good condition at all times.
will greatly appreciate your pub
fishing this letter or at least getting
the matter before the people of Dill
Ion promptly. Thanking you,
Yours very respectfully,
JACK WATSON.
