LEhlhE AND TR0TzKY PLAN
WORLDWIDE REVOLT FOR
WINTER, LETTER SHOWS

PARIS. Nov. z3.--Details of plans
of Lenine and Trotxl<y for a finai, su-
preme effort to bring about an inter-
national revolution this winter, In
volvfug attempts on the lives OF rulers
OF Bourgeois" governments AZ well
as destruction OF railways. mines,
and ships and general strikes have
just been revealed in a document cap
tured in Switzerland. The document
consisted Of q letter addressed to the
German Communist group in Geneva.
The letter was written by Henri
Guilbeaux. who IN under sentence Of
death in France for espionage. He
has been leading collaborator in
Moscow with Lenine and Trotxky In
connection with Captain Saboul. for
mer French officer. who Is also un-
der sentence Of death in France.
To Stake Everyfhins.
The letter in part follows:
'The soviet government knows
that the present situstion cannot last
and is resolved to stake everything
during the coming winter. Lenine
and Trotzky are in complete agree
ment regarding the new plan Of ac-
ton. Of which I submit an outline
herewith.
"Before the unfortunate passivity Of
the English. French. and italian
proletariats the soviet government Is
resolved to fight with all the means
available in the bourgeois capitals
which are the source of the present
counter revolutionary action.
Pfans Terrorist Actssn.
The soviet government already has
ready its plan for terrorist action.
Trotzky desired to act immediately.
but Lenine, who believed the elections
might favor the Socialists in France,
Italy, Switzerland. and the Scandi-
navian countries, postponed execution
of the plan"
The letter then adds that Lenine
was especially interested in the
French elections, inasmuch as Paris
is the actual center of the interna-
tional reatcion."
The letter adds:
.'rBut IL the elections in the larger
countries do not give us the results
we desire and the fight Of interna-
tional capitalism continues, we will
then put into action the terrorist
plans. Our agents will execute by
terrorism, attempts on all govern
mental personages both of the allied
countries and Germany, whom we
may judge as harmful to the inter-
national revolutionary movement.

WILSON TO INSIST
COTTON Be BARRED
REMOVAL OF EMBARGO WOULD
GIVE GERMANY ADVANTAGE
OVER FRANCE, 1T is SAID.

WASHINGTON, D. Cit is I'M
derstood that President Wilson will
not hesitate to veto any legislation
which seeks to make Immediately
effective the lifting of the embargo
on cotton. 1t is further explained
that this is because of the peculiar
international situation which has aris-
en- as the result of the war.
France is bitterly opposed to the
sending of cotton into Germany on
the ground that the enemy country
with which peace terms have not yet
been concluded is in a position to
take an economic advantage of
France. Germany can begin the
spinning of cotton tomorrow; France
cannot. That explains the whole sit
uation as it is presented to the presi-
dent.
To Bring Understanding.
In his task of bringing about an
understanding that will align the al
lies and all their civilizations into an
organization banded together to pre-
serve peace and make future wars
impossible President Wilson is COM
PEELED to listen to the arguments of
France. 1t is larger question than
the temporary financial advantage
of the cotton producers, however
much the farmers of the South may
feel that they are being neglected by
the president.
The Brand amendment to the sun
dry civil bill, which would withhold
from the war trade board money APP
propriated for its maintenance, would
make it imperative that the embargo
on cotton be lifted at least July 1st.

MAY REPEAL DAY
LIGHT SAVING" BILL
CONGRESS COMMITTEE HAS SO
RECOMMENDED. DOESN'T
SUIT FARM WORK.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-"Congress
may legislate the hands of the clocks
around, but it can't legislate the dew
off the hay and wheat" says a letter
from an Illinois farmer to Represent
ative King, of Illinois.
The farmer urged the repeal of the
daylight saving law because, he said,
he had to send his men into the fields
before the crops had dried and that
cutting them while they were still
wet caused them to rot.
Other farmers wrote King, who has
introduced bill to repeal the day
light law, saying that they had to get
up ahead of the sun and go to bed
while it was still shining.
There is general complaint and OPP
position by farmers in all sections
of the country, on the ground that
the new time is not suited to their
work.
The committee on agriculture in
both the house and senate have de
cided to report favorably a bill pro
viding for the repeal of the daylight
saving law. There was no opposition
in either of the committees, and the
indications are that the law will be
repealed.

ADRIFT ON AN ice
CAKE SIX MONTHS
A POLAR PARTY HAS LANDED
SAFELY. REPORT UPSETS THE
DRY BIOGRAPHIES.

OTTAWA.-The safe arrival on
north coast of Alaska, Nov. 27 last,
of Storker, Storkerson, the Arctic
explorer, and his four companions
was announced in a dispatch from
him today forwarded from Fort Yu-
kon to the Canadian department Of
naval service.
The explorer set out from the
north coast of Alaska in March, 1918,
to drift westward on an ice cake
across the polar basin on the theory
that the currents would land him on
the cost of Siberia. 1t appears from
his dispatches today that the ice cake
on which his party camped merely
carried them around in what might
be considered n huge eddy.
In addition to upsetting the theory
common among geographers and pO-
lar authorities of a westward cur
rent, Storkerson reported his trip
had resulted in the taking of impor-
tant deep sea sOundings.
The work carried out by StOrker-
son and his party was planned by
Vilhialmur Stefansson, who intend
ed to command the party personally,
but was prevented by illness.
The party. started on March Is,
1918, from Cross Island, on the north
coast of Alaska At the outset it con-
sisted of nine whites and four Eski-
mos, with eight sledges. After about
two weeks of travel Storkerson sent
back four of the men and three
sledges and a short time later sent
back three more sledges with all eX-
cept four of the men.
The party then established camp
on the ice and prepared for a trip
which was expected to have lasted all
winter Virtually without provisions,
they subsisted comfortably through
out the trip on seals and polar bears
which were shot.

WRECKS
HOMES IN SUMTER
BLEW MAN FROM BUGGY, TURN
ED OVER AUTOMOBILE, AND
GROUND HAM IN TREE.

A cyclone which swept the Leslie
section of Sumter county Wednesday
morning blew down several dwellings
and did considerable other damage.
George Deriso and his family were
caught under the debris Of their
home, and Mrs. Deriso was badly in
jured by falling timbers. She was
badly bruised, and the attending ply
sician found it necessary to take sew
eral stitches in a wound on her head.
Twister Does Stunts.
Mr.. Deriso's property loss is very
heavy, and includes, among many
other items, it is reported, about
5000 pounds of cured meat which
was in his smokehouse and was scat
tered around the countryside by the
twister 1t also includes barrels of
syrup, one of which was found I'M
broken in the center of field some
distance from where the wind had
picked it up. A ham was reported
found against a tree trunk where por-
tons of the meat had been literally
ground into the wood.
D. w. Blankenship was blown
from his buggy and Arnold Bass had
his automobile turned over on him
inficting serious injuries.
The property loss from the cy.
clone was considerable, and some
damage was done to live stock.
Great difficulty is being experience
ed in the neighborhood by the va
riOus victims of the storm in identi-
flying their stock, which was badly
scattered and mixed.

FERTILIZER men Are
PHAZED BY CHANGE
COTTON ACREAGE CURTAIL-
MENT CUTS DOWN FARMERS
PURCHASES IMMENSELY.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Fertilizer manu-
tactulers, of whom there are several
big ones in this city, find themselves
up against a serious and perplexing
problem as the result of the cotton
acreage reduction movement now
sweeping the south.
AS before stated in these columns,
If any proof were needed of the eff
fectiveness of the curtailment cam
palgn in getting results the very
small movement of commercial fertil-
izers affords conclusive answer.
The fertilizer movement as of Feb
ruary Is is practically no further ad-
vanced than it was on February 10.
At that time only $4,000 carloads had
moved instead of a normal movement
of $4,000 carloads. Since February
10 the total movement has not been
much over 5000 carloads, it is un-
derstood. >
OhOAt0 ANOb WdAt 90 Long.
Of course it would not be wise fol-
the farmers to wait too long to buy
their fertilizer. The normal move
ment during the ninety-day period
embracing January, February and
March is 100000 carloads. If the
farmers should wait until the last
minute and then begin to buy fertil-
izers in normal quantities the rail
roads could not handle the ship
ments.
Commissioner of Agriculture ]. J.
Brown advises the farmers to buy
about so per cent. Of a normal sup
ply of fertilizer, and buy this at once
in order to prevent a serious conges-
ton. But he does not advise them
to buy more than so per cent.
In the meantime the fertilizer
manufacturers and their selling
agents are wondering what the out
come will be. Says one selling agent
located here and having the state of
Georgia as his territory:
"We've got new plant under con-
struction in Tennessee which we in
tended to rush to completion. But
present prospects are that we will
not sell enough fertilizer to keep our
existing plant busy. This acreage re-
duction movement is certainly cut
ting a wide swath in our business. 4"
All over Georgia and throughout
the South, states Commissioner
Brown. the movement is growing.
Farmers are organizing by counties
and securing pledges for curtailed
acreage.

WASHINGTON NOW BONE DRY. ~
BUT FOREIGN EMBASSIES MAY

Observation-Disclosures for the
foreign embassies and legations,
Washington went "bone dry" today
under a provision of the new revenue
law withdrawing the immunity which
the capital heretofore has enjoyed
from the Reed amendment forbidding
the importation of intoxicants into
prohibition territory.
Hundreds Of shipments of liquor
on their way from Baltimore were
held up outside the district lines, and
failed to get within the zone before
the bars went up. For days express
facilities, motor trucks, interurban
lines and railroads between Wash
ingtOn and Baltimore have been con-
gested with liquor shipments, or with
citizens making personal trips to the
nearest liquor vending point.
Legations Not Dry.
The embassies and legations of
foreign governments are considered
extra-territorial properties and are
not affected by the bone-dry provis-
ion, according to the internal revenue
bureau, although no formal ruling
has been given on the point. When
war time prohibition becomes effect

will be dry except the Philippines.

Intense cold prevails in Moscow,
