HUNS HAD PLANNED
TO ATTACK ALLIES.
A Conspiracy by Scheidemam Gov
ernment Revealed.

Berlin, Thursday, June 90 (By
the Associated Press.-The German
government headed by Phillip Scheid.
mann had planned to refuse to sign
the peace treaty and to permit the
allied troops to march into Germany
as far as Elbe, where it would be at
tackled by strong German forces. the
Danzig correspondent of the Tageblatt
declares in dispatch describing the
details of secret plan to create a
separate state in Northwest Ger
many.
The plan failed because of jealosies
and difference of opinion between the
government and the army leaders, the
correspondent says. CA report from
Geneva Thursday night said Herr
Schiedemann had arrived in Switzer-
land after crossing the frontier on
foot.)
The last proposal made by the con-
spirators planning to oppose the allies
it is said, was to ask Poland to COM
bine with Eastern Germany in the for
nation Of an Independent republic.
The offer, it is declared was rebuffed
by the Poles who asked why it had
not been offered ten years ago.
The Plan That Failed.
The Danzig correspondent of the
Tageblatt says it was the intention to
cooperate with the Grand Duke of
Mecklenburg in the establishment of a
republic or a monarchy to include
East Prussia, West Prussia and Pozen.
The plan, he says, was favored by
Adolph Won Batocki, President OF
East Prussia; Herr Schnackenburg,
president of West Prussia, and Herr
on Buelow, president of Pozen, Herr
Wig, the national commissioner for
Pozen and the two Prussian provinces
the correspondent declares, was to
head the movement and was to be in
charge Of the military forces which
were to make an immediate attack
as soon as the peace treaty was
signed.
Plan Abandoned.
The plan was disclosed. it is added
when various generals interested had
a conference with the government
leaders at Wimar. General Groener
at present the chief commander, it is
declared, was the first to decide to
abandon the plan. Matthias Erzber,
ger, head of the German armistice
commission, and Herr Hoersing, the
commissioner for Upper Silesia, also
were involved. Gustav Noskie, the
minister of defense, the correspond
ent asserts, had difficult task in
persuading Erzberger to give up the
plan. The government, it is declared
feared that Hoersing instead of oper-
ating against the Poles with the
troops under his command would turn
about and march on Berlin in an at
tempt to reestablish the former en-
peror On the throne.

Mr.. Wilson's Farewell Speech.

Paris, June 26-I feel that my
stay here has enlightened both my
heart and my mind" said President
Wilson in a speech tonight at din
ner rendered him and Mrs. Wilson by
President Poincare of France. 1t was
to all intents and purposes Mr.. Will
sons farewell speech to Europe.
Only one portion Of the great peace
work is finished the other portion
having just begun, the president de-
clared, adding, 1--WE, shall continue to
be comrades" He dwelt with warm
words upon the friendship between
France and the United States, a
friendship which he said has been ce-
mented by the intimacy in which the
two countries leaders have worked
together at the peace table.
Again the president pleads strong
ly for the league of nations.
Merely to beat nation that was
wrong once is not enough" he
said. There must follow the warn
ing TO all other nations that would do
like things that they in turn will be
vanquished and shamed if they at
tempt a dishonorable purpose" The
wrong that brought on the war, he
proved the necessity of a partner
ship" of nations.
Though the ocean is broad, it
will seem very narrow in the future"
said Mr.. Wilson.
I'm saying goodbye to France" he
declared, Il am only saying sort Of
physical goodbye, not spiritual
goodbye"

COTTON AND BONDS
ON SAME BASIS
Bankers Pass Resolutions Favoring
Increasing Capital of Financial
Institutions.

A resolution of great interest to
cotton growers adopted at the recent
meeting of the South Carolina Bank
ers' Association at Tybee was one
urging change in existing laws so
that cotton stored in standard ware
houses, fully insured, should be han
died as Liberty bonds without charg-
ing credit against the line to be
extended to the producer.
The resolution as adopted, reads:
Realizing that cotton stored in stand
ard warehouses, properly insured, is
! one Of the best bankable liquid as
sets; realizing that under existing
! laws cotton is often forced upon the
market due to the fact that the pro-
ducer's line of credit has been eX-
hausted
Therefore be it resolved, That
cotton stored in standard warehouses
fully insured, should be handled as
Liberty bonds without charging cred
! it against the line to be extended the
producer; and be it further recon-
mended that this association go on

Furthermore be it resolved. That

"A resolution was also passed urg'
ing the banks of the State, wherever

stock so per cent. This resolution was
in line with a resolution passed al
a meeting of the South Carolina Cot.

Getting Ready to Work

My son tells a story of when he
was at Camp Logan. He is ste
nographer, and part Of his duties were
to carry daily reports from camp to
brigade headquarters and from his let
tiers at the time, was kept pretty busy.
Along his route were civilian mechan-
les and laDorers working, one of whom
always seemed to be getting ready to
work, usually measuring piece OF
pipe or looking at it.
One day the soldier stopped and
looked on. The workman noticed him,
and after laying the piece of pipe care
fully on the edge of the ditch said,
swell. young Teller, they keep you
humpin', don't they? How do you like
the army so far? You don't get much
time to loaf, do you?"
The soldier answered. II like this
army all right, but the next army
join I'll tell them I'm a plumber. -

FARMERS GIVEN
MORE Time TO
ORDER NITRATE

The time which farmers of Sumter
county are allowed to make their or
ders for nitrate Of soda from the gov
eminent has been extended to Febru-
airy 15, according to an announcement
made today by George o. Marshall,
county farm demonstration agent. He
stated that orders may be made
through the same committee that has
handled the matter up to this time,
namely: Joseph Perkins or George0.
Marshall, at the Chamber of Com
merce, Americas; Sam Heys, deputy
clerk of the Superior court; W. L.
Thomas, Plains and w. T.. Anderson,

Nitrate of soda is being sold to the
farmers through the Bureau of Mar
kets at $81 per ton, f. o. b. landing
point, ports. General arrangements
have been made by the department to
secures large quantities of nitrate
through the War Department. Unless
the demand is greater than anticipated,
this will be enough to supply all rea-
sOnable requirements.
Nearly 1000 tons Of nitrate have
been ordered by Sumter farmers al
ready, but the extension of time is
expected to result in a considerable
increase in demand. Many farmers
have been holding off buying their fer
tilizer materials as long as possible,
and some who desired nitrate let the
time limit as first set expire without
getting their orders in. 1t is to ac-
commodate these, and at the same time
assist in greater production this year,
that the government has made the
time extension.
