Roumania Opposes
u. S. Clause; Will
Not Sign Treaty

PARIS, Sept. 4.--Roumania will
not sign the peace treaty with Aus
tria, according to Intransigeant, be-
cause of clause introduced at the
formal request of the American dele
gates concerning ethical minorities.
Roumania. also takes exception to
a clause regulating treaties, COM
merce and railroad rates, lntransi-
geant says, considering that it would
be undignified for her to accept it.
The newspaper adds that the resig-
nation of ]. ]. C. Bratiano as pre-
mier is imminent.
The supreme council today discuss
ed the failure of Roumania to make
written responses to the councils
notes. 1t is likely the council will
send an admiral in the near future
with an emphatic note demanding an
immediate response by Roumania to
the councils communications.

American Activities
in Turkey Criticized
by the French Press

PARIS, Sept. 4.-The French press
continues to comment on American
activities in Turkey, the conservative
newspapers particularly critcising the
investigating methods of the Ameri
can mission compose of Charles R.
Crane and DR.. Henry Churchill King.
The Echo de Paris complains that
British troops were left in the area
under investigation while in the case
of upper Silesia it was considered
necessary by the peace conference to
exclude German troops in order to
insure a free and untrammeled plebis-
cite. The presence of British troops
the ewspapers hold, unquestionably
exercised influence upon the pOpula-
ton.
The Echo de Paris declares that
the American mission made most
hurried inquiry in every region where
French sentiment displayed itself.
The Constantinople correspondent
of the Eclair says that the American
mission left Turkey without having
obtained precise responses to its in
ouires that would justify a definite
conclusion.
Frankly speaking" the correspond
ent adds, "the Americans did not re-
ceive very cordial reception in Tur-
key"
The prefect of Constantinople, ac-
cording to the correspondent, called
on Mr.. Crane at the head of dele
CATION of citizens and in reply to
an inquiry whether the Turks pre-
ferred the new or old regime, said
that both the young Turks of the
committee of union and progress and
the old Turks of the Abdul Hamid
regime, were condemned. What was
wanted, he declared, was reforms and
to this end the Turks needed the
moral aid of the great powers such
as Great Britain and America,

Allied Ultirnatum
Threatens Berlin

PARIS, Sept. 4.-The supreme
council Of the peace conference de-
cided Tuesday to send note in force
full terms to the German government
pointing out the contradiction with
the Versailles treaty of the provis-
ion in the new Germa constitution
providing for the representation of
Austria in the German reichsrath.
The council demands the suppression
of the article within a fortnight, de-
claring that otherwise the allies will
be compelled to undertake a further
occupation of the left bank of the
Rhine.
The article objected to is Article
LXI of the German constitution as
in conflict with Article Xxx of the
German peace treaty forbidding Ger
man interference in Austrian affairs,
The text of the note to Germany
was handed to the German delegation
at Versailles Tuesday afternoon and
will be made public Wednesday,.
PARIS, Sept. 4.-The judiciary
commission of the peace conference
recommends that the German govern
ment be given fifteen days in which
20 modify the constitution relative to
the admission of Austrian deputies
into the German parliament and sug-
ge5ts that if this demand is denied
Frankfort should be occupied, accord
ing to the Journal.

80 Arrests Made
Result of Race
Riots in Knoxville

KNOXVILLE, Sept. Am indict-
ment charging murder in the first de-
gree was returned against Maurice
F. Mayes, the alleged slayer of Mrs.
Bertie Lindsey, by the criminal court
grand jury Wednesday.
Following the decision of the men,
bers of the grand jury in finding
true bill against the negro, the twelve
men adjourned until this morning,
when witnesses will be examined as
to the rioting Saturday night.
Thirty men are under arrest and
confined in the county Jail and coun-
ty authorities are searching for a
score of others alleged to have been
connected with the releasing of the
prisoners and destruction of property
at the Jail, when the mob made the
assault Saturday night. Sheriff Cate
expects to have all leaders Of the
Nnob under arrest within the next
day or two
The indictment against Mayes
reads:
"The grand jurors FOR the state
of Tennessee, duly elected, impaneled

der against the peace and dignity ot

Wise Action of
Governor Roberts

The wisdom Of having enacted
what is konwn as the State Police
Law, which was fostered by Governor
Roberts and enacted by the last Leg
islature, was fully demonstrated in
Knoxville Sunday morning, when race
riots broke out in that city as the re-
suit of an assault upon a white wo-
man by negro.
When suspect had been arrested
and placed in Jail mob Of angry
men, and apparently rough class of
citizenship, attacked the jail in an ef-
fort to secure the negro suspect. A
call for help was sent to Governor
Roberts at Nashville and he immedi-
ately called out the State Police
force which he has wisely selected
from the Tennessee National Guard,
and which were encamped near Knox
vile at the time. The Police force,
under command of General E. B.
Sweeney, made quick work of dis
persing the crowd, and thereby put
ting stop to the rioting, Had Gov
ernor delayed in the matter, thou
sands of dollars worth of property
and doubtless many lives would have
been destroyed and Knoxville would
have repeated the disgraceful scene
which occurred in Chicago a few
weeks ago.
Under the Constitution of Tennes-
see the Governor can not call out the
State MALTA without special act of
the legislature and that must be for
specific purpose. Governor Roberts,
looking in advance at the unsettled
condition of the country and the un-
restfulness of the people which re-
suited from the war, urged the last
legislature to enact the State Police
law, that he might be able to aid in
the protection of life and property,
in case of riots, etc. The Knoxville
affair demonstrates the fact that the
Governor took a wise view of the sit
uation.

ert Chambers, who is alleged 20 have
committed a daring robbery at the
boarding house of Mrs. H. S. .|nrn-
hill on Seventh street here early Mon

the morning of the alleged robbery.
Mr.. Cole returned to this city Mon
day night.
Mr.. Cole said that they left this
city at about 2:3O o'clock Monday

was a detective and desired to reach
johnson City in time to search train
number from Mountain City, Tenn.

mail car ct Mountain City and was on
this train," said Mr.. Cole. "When
the train for Knoxville came through
he got on it without a ticket"

hi mthat he would be back in John
son City on the next train and would
pay him then. The jitney driver
waited at johnson City until two

of the goods taken amounting in all
probably to several hundred dollars

Barnhil's establishment, was despoil
ed of clothing and other articles to the
value of more than fifty dollars. Paul

Invest Savings
in Stamps and
Certificates

"Any man who at present really
squanders his money does a very Sc
rious injury to the welfare of his
country" declared Lord Robert Cecil
in the British Parliament the other
day. Moreover, he predicted that
Europe will come to financial disaster
of incredible magnitude" unless the
people practice thrift to the utmost,
The war left America in much bet
ter shape, financially, than any of
the nations that participate din the
war. But Lord Roberts warning to
Europeans is applicable in large
sense to the people of the United
States. A great panic in Europe
could not fail to have severe effect
upon the United States, 1t would be
reflected here in many ways. The
American people cannot do better
than to take heed of the possibility,
and save accordingly-and to put
their savings into good securities.
The Federal Reserve Board recent
" announced to the nation that three
billion dollars were needed for Amer
jean business and industry to take
advantage of the new trade opportun-
tiles opened to them, This money
must be raised by the savings of the
people. The banks must be able to
finance the companies that will de-
velop the new opportunities, which
will bring a splendid era of pros
lperity to the country. And the gov
ernment must not be made to call
upon the banks. TIE answer is to
make the government Independent of
the banks, by investing savings in
War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Saving Certificates.
