"oLD HICKORY" TROOPS
TOLD 70 MAKE READY"
Thirtieth; Division, Including South
Carolina Lads Who Broke linden.
burg Line, Ordered to Prepare
for Embarkation.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The home.
ward flow Of American fighting units
which had the opportunity to distin,
guish themselves in action soon will
begin. $Gs::S;+$;s. .'...
The war department announced to-
day that three famous National
Guard divisions the Twenty-seventh
New York;, Thirtieth, now known
as the aold Hickory" division, and
the Thirty-seyenth (Buckeye), had
been ordered to prepare for embark
alton. There. was no information as
to when the divisions would start
from Freneh, ports, but heretofore it
has required several weeks for
units to embark after being assigned
to early convoy. -
Divisions having a distinguished
fighting record and others having a
distinctive local identity in the Unit
ed States, will be kept together after
their return from France until they
can be paraded at home and receive
the welcome that the people are anx-
ious to bestow upon them. :.
No definite plans as to the three
divisions now designated for early
return have been made here, but it
is assumed at the war department
that the various units of each divis-
ion will be sent home close together,
so that ST will be no hardship upon
the men who arrive first to keep
them organized until the entire div
ision can be, paraded. -
The Thirtieth. Division will go to
a Southern camp, where it can be
reviewed by the people of North and
South Carolina and Tennessee, from
H. d. .
which States came its original per-
sonnel. Tho Thirty-seventh under
this policy, Will be concentrated at
Camp Sherman, Or some other point

The Twenty-seventh and the Thir-
tieth Divisions We're commanded by
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, the
British commander in chief, whose
official report at the close of the war
gave to these American troops, then
serving with the British Fourth Ar
my, credit for breaking the Hinden-
burg line in Flanders. ..

Notwithstanding her short residence

highest Christian character, thor
oughly loyal to the people whom she
sought to serve, thoroughly capable
of being of service to humanity,

RESPONSIBILITY FOR START
r. ING WAR is A GRAVE ISSUE
Associated Powers Want Expression
From America on the Matter.

Paris, Jan. 22.-American peace
delegates today appeared to allow a
thorough investigation to fix respon-
sibility for the war that no cu!prit
might escape, and that punishment
might be meted out to all those shar-
ing in the guilt, from the Kaiser
down.. !
With the conference program call
ing for memoranda from all the pow
ers regarding responsibility for start
ing and continuing the war, there
was tremendous interest in the atti-
:;.s of the American delegation par
ticularly President Wilson. The
French already have drafted pro-
posal that the Kaiser be tried before
international court. Premier Lloyd
George in his recent political cam
paign made punishment of the Kaiser
one Of his principal planks. Wilson
has been silent thus far, but a survey
of his associates viewpoint today in
dicated they favor the most careful
investigation to determine who is re-
sponsible-the Kaiser or others.
The President has always held
guilt to be personal, and it has been
recollected that when he was COVER
nor of New Jersey he advocated a
law to determine personal response
bility for the acts of corporation Off
cials. Application of the principle of
personal guilt to the Kaiser is stayed
oy doubt whether he was the perpe-
traitor of the crimes growing out of
the war or was merely the tool of the
military clique which surrounded him
Hence it appears that the Americans
will advocate the most thorough in
quiry to determine every person who
is guilty and the extent of their
guilt.

BRITAIN'S DOMINIONS RAISE
BIG LEAGUE PROBLEM
May Oppose the Mother Country
Unless Admitted to the League of
Nations on the Same Basis
as Belgium.

Paris, Jan. 22.-New claims,
which are characterized in official
circles as among the most momen-
tous that will come before the. peace
conference, will be raised by the
self-governing dominions of the Brit
ish Empire in connection with the
formation of a league of nations. The
dominions will ask to be admitted to
the league with the status Of individ-
ual nations whose sovereignty, as
far as internal affairs are concerned,
shall be recognized clearly by the
world, although the right of Great
Britain to control their foreign re-
lations is admitted. ......
Canada, Australia, New Zealand,
and to lesser degree South Africa,
will claim the right to enter the lea
que on the same basis as Belgium
and other similar powers. In some
quarters this is taken to mean that
should the occasion arise the domin-
ions might oppose the mother coun-
try in the discussion of problems
brought before the league.
Canada, Australia and New Zeal
and have for several years, claimed
for themselves absolute indepen-
dence ,as far as the conduct of in
ternal affairs was concerned, but
this principle never has been formal
ly admitted by England. The do
iminions, it is said, will now ask for
formal recognition. -. =

FIFTH LIBERTY LOAN,
STARTING APRIL 6,
WILL BE THE LAST

Washington, Jan. 20.-Financial
departments in the Government to-
day were interested in the announce
ment of Secretary of the Treasury
Glass that the "Victory Loan" drive,
IS the Fifth Liberty Loan is to be
called, in all probability, will be the
last.
The general belief seems to be
that the effect of the news that there
is to be but one more big public
'can would be to stabilize prices of
1rmer issues and small bondholders
once more were advised to retain
their holdings.
1t is known that strong pressure
is being brought to bear upon Sec
retary Glass to have the interest rate
on the new loan fixed at a 1-2 per
cent. instead of d IA, but it is be-
lieved that if this is done, the con-
version privileges which Mr.. Glass
favors, will not be extended to for
mer issues. 1t is believed the ,"Vic-
tory Loan" will be for approximate
ly 100000, and that the cam.
paign will start April 6, the second
anniversary of our entry into the
rar. -. '..r-|". -

Suggestions of Presi-

Great Powers.
FACTIONS ARE INVITED
4 !. .s3..f TO HOLD DISCUSSION
Hoped to Bring Order From Chaos
I By Having Warning and Troubl-
+. 7 ed Elements Confer With
Representatives of the
Allied Governments.

Paris, Jan. 22.-Led by President
Wilson, tire supreme council OF the
great powers today moved to unite
the factions of distracted Russia
and bring them into the peace con-
press. They unanimously adopted a
proposition brought forward by Pres
ident Wilson asking all the Russian
factions, including the Bolshevists to
meet the allied and associated gov
ernments at Princess Island in the
Sea Of Marmora on February 15, the
contending factions meantime declar-
ing truce and suspending all mill
tary operations. '.'
The joint commission fo the asso-
ciated governments will be announc-
: ed as soon as the Russian factions
accept the proposal whcih was COM
municated to them by wireless to-
night. The Russian commission will
proceed to the meeting place, prob
ably ION warshir, by way of the
Black Sea and the Bosphorus.
Gen. John j. Pershing, the Ameri-
can commander in chief, has been
called to Paris and it is expected that
he win be military member of the
American representation of the joint
commission.
Aside from the Importance of the
conclusions reached it was especially
notable as being the first time that
the voice of the United States had
taken the direction in the concert of
European powers on the most serious
|-question now presented. There was
added significance in the fact that an
American president in person had
taken leadership in the council made
up chiefly of European statesmen
and had pointed way which they
had unanimously adopted. .-..
The final result came after three
days of continuous discussion of Rus
sia, which did not crystalize until
the final hours, when President Will
son presented in writing the plan he
had elaborated. %
There was little opposition, and
this was based mainly on doubts as
to whether the proposition would be
accepted. ....
A plenary meeting of the full con.
ference was announced for next Sat.
lay whene tn plans of President
Wilson and David Lloyd George, the
British prime minister, dealing with
a league of nations will be the first
order of business. .-
Today's action on Russia and Po
land, however, goes into effect with
out presentation to tie full confer
enct and is taken as the action Of
the great powers. :.. r.
