THE FATE OF THE
PEACE TREATY
Hangs on the Vote on Shan
tung. Leaders of Both
Parties Admit
ENDANGERs INSTRUMENT

Washington, Aug. 24.-Upon the
ultimate disposition by the Senate
of the amendment, adopted by the
Foreign Relations Committee by
which the former German privileges
in the Shantung Peninsula would
go back to China, instead of to ia
pan, depends the fate of the treaty
il. the opinion of many Senators,
expressed today. The energies of
advocates of the treaty will be con-
centrated in the next few weeks in
a determined effort to defeat the
program of the majority leaders to
have the amendment adopted.
Opposition to the Lodge amend
ment is not confined to Administra-
ton Senators. Republican Senators,
including some of the so-called
mild reservationists," headed by
Senator McClmber of North Dakota,
declared that the move to amend
the Shantung provision was fraught
with grave consequences.
Mr.. McCumber who voted against
the amendment in committee, look
ed upon it, he said today as endan-
gering the treaty. If the majority
adopt the amendment, Mr.. McCum-
ber said, the only alternative left
would be to reject the treaty in toto.
To keep the Shantung amendment
in it, Mr.. McCumber declared,
would clearly constitute an affront
to Japan. Great Britain and
France, he said, manifestly could
Eot uphold it, because of their agree
ment with Japan.
Senator McCumber felt, he said,
that the interposition of the Sen
ate, through amendment Of the
Shantung provision, is entirely un-
necessary, inasmuch as Japan has
promised to restore the former Ger
man privileges to China within a
reasonable time The logical way
out of the problem, Mr.. McCumber
believes, is for the Senate merely
to adopt a resolution expressing dis
approval of Japan's keeping the
Shantung rights Indefinitely, and ur
glng that they be returned in the
1iear future.
The North Dakota Senator's at
, titude voiced that of many of the
middle-ground Senators. They made
it clear that there is an appreciable
element on the Republican side of
the Senate which will fight the
Shantung amendment as adopted
by the committee, and have the
Senate go on record, instead, with
resolution expressing disapprov-
al.

NEGROES PREY OF AGITAroRs

Washington, Aug. 23.Agitators
among the negroes, supported by the
Bolsheviki, the T. w. w. and other
radical elements in the country,
have opened a campaign for self
determination for the negroes of all
corners of the earth according to
reports eachfng here. The agitation

ti-American.
The government is in possession
Of a mass of evidence showing the
activities of agitators among the

sponsible officials that most of the
unrest among the negro population
Is due to the fncendiary writings
and speeches of the agitators.

A CLOSE CALL.

Last night about eleven o'clock
while returning from Snow Hill in
lis cosed car, Mr.. George Lucas,
accompanied by Ashley Young and
Mr.. w. P. Anderson, Jr., the car
went off the bridge at Nahunta
Creek and Messrs. Lucas and Young
were badly cut over the head. and
some twenty stitches were found
necessary to close their wounds.
Their many friends will be pleased to
learn they are able to be up though
their heads are bandaged and they
show plainly the narrow escape that
was made when the car turned on
its side down the ten foot embank-
n. ent into about three feet of water
from which the gentlemen emerged.
and were compelled to walk abeut
half mile to secure another car and
return home.
The accident occurred about six
miles this side of Snow Hill off
Nahunta bridge some fifteen miles
from Wilson. Mr.. Whitehead Jr..
was not BADLY hurt.
The bridge is very narrow 1t is at
turn of the road, and the approach
is very sudden. There are no rails
on the bridge as there should be-, as
well as danger signs to notify ira .el.
ers when it is being. approached,
Lucas says that he was not driving
very fast, and when he struck the
bridge he thought he was on it but
one wheel was off the structure and
SO the car went over.

~
Washington, D. c., Aug 26.-Rns-
sian Soviet interests are apparently
supporting the propaganda of race an
tagonism among the negroes over
the country, according to informa-
tion with is in the hands of the De-
yesterday in the House by represeH-
tative Barnes of South Caroiiaa,
Democrat. Newspapers are springing
up over the country for the evident
purpose of sowing discord among
the negroes, and the department has
evidence which goes to show that
the I. w. W., and Soviet influences
are at work in this direction. It is
believed that this was at the bot.
tom of the riots in Washington and
Chicago.
Washington, Aug. 25.-Race an.
tagonism over the country is due to
"incendiary utterances of would-be
leaders of the race now being cir
culated through negro newspapers
and magazines Representative
Byrnes, Democrat, South Carolina
declared today in the House. Be-
hind this propaganda, he said, were
desires of some politicians to in
crease the number of negro voters
and designs by some capitalists tn
secure negroes as prospective strike
breakers and levers to keep down
wages.
Negroes in the Souths are alleged
to be ill-treated, Byrne said, where
as, the Southern negro is actually
making rapid progress, accumulat-
ing money, buying. property and ed
ucating his children.
Mr.. Byrne read editorials from a
Washington negro publication in
which he said the I. w. w. was ex-
tolled as "the one labor organiza-
tion which knew no color line"
Senators John Sharp Williams and
Hoke Smith, former Governor Var
deman, of Mississippi, Thomas Dix
on and D. w. Griffith, the motion
picture producer, were attacked in
the editorial.
''The law abiding negro still fs
wanted in. the South,'' Mr.. Byrnes
said, "but those who have been In
oculated with the desire of political
equality or social equality must stay
&c
of the latter type"

HAVE RATIFIED
Dry Leaders are Hopeful That Final
Vote Will Stand Forty
seven to Lonely
One,

Hunted Press Leased Wire Service
| WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Thirty
ieight states having ratified the ma
tional prohibition amendment, dry
leaders here today were hopeful that
the final vote would stand forty-seven
for and one against.
Two dry states are yet to vote and
eight vets. Seven of the latter, the
drys believe, Will act fayorably. New
Jersey is the only state that the
drys concede.
To those who see patients dying
from lack of whiskey as a stimulant,
A. c. Dinwiddie, the anti-saloon
leader, explained that the prohibition
amendment just ratified does not in
terfere with manufacture and distri-
button of liquor for legitimate, scien-
tific, pharmaceutical and sacramento
purposes.
To congress goes the task of de-
Gliding just how sick America must
be under the amended constitution to
get such stimulant.
Drys here refuse to take seriously
the vets technical fight on the
amendment. They insist that the
liquor interests have not leg to
stand on and furthermore won't get
very far in the courts after the ma
ton has expressed itself for prohibit
ton 1t was also pointed out that
the supreme court is not in the habit
of passing on the constitutionality of
a constitutional amendment.
Under the eighteenth amendment
congress will be asked by the drys to
enact laws making prohibition effec-
tive along these lines:
1.-The appointment of federal
law enforcement commissioner with
sufficient and adequate power and
assistance to secure the enforcement
of the act.
"a provision for the abatement
of the liquor nuisance by injunctions.
3-Conferring of power upon the
law enforcement commissioner to
prescribe rules and regulations with
the approval of the commissioner of
internal revenue for the manufacture
and distribution of wine for sacra-
mental purposes and alcohol for non
prohibited purposes.
4-Conferring of all necessary
authority on officials and fixing ade-
quate penalties for violations OF the
act.
5-All intoxicating liquor Illegally
possessed, manufactured, or sold, and
all implements used in the Illegal
of liquors should be con-
sidered contraband.
6-The sale, manufacture, transpor-
tation, Importation, expectation and
possession Of intoxicating liquor for
beverage purposes should be pro-
hibited.
THE phrase Intoxicating
liquor" should include distilled, malt,
fermented, vinuous, alcoholic or any
liquors.
8-An adequate search and seizure
provision similar to those which have
proved effective in the enforcement
of the prohibitory laws in the states.
9-The sale of alcohol, patent or
medicine which are pos
sible or capable of being used as a
beverage should be surrounded by the

late colored with white figures. Only
two numerals are shown, the figures
10 being imprinted with space left
for the attachment of little plate

be shown for each of the three years
the plate is supposed to be used.
The secretary of state says the

ing up at the rate of one or two
thousand a day. Thus far this year
