LONG
(RandOlph County,

The health of our people is fairly
good. Everybody busy after the cold
spell.
Last Sunday Mason S. Newton,
youngest son of Mrs. Rosa Newton,
at p. m. brought in his wife; they
were married at brides parents near
Queens; her name was Miss Polly
Goodwin, daughter of Squire Silas
Goodwin. After they were married
they partook of a hearty dinner
which Mother Goodwin had prepared
when they arrived at mother New
Ions, the neighbors and friends had
assembled to the number of some 25.
After a hand shake and congratula-
tons they all gathered around the
table which was fairly groaning I'M
der its load of good things mother
Newton had prepared. After eating
hearty supper and chatting a while
all went home in great glee.
After midnight the boys gathered
up and gave them an old fashioned
COW belling
Last week Henry Thorn and Ray
mon Huffman were helping Ira
Shockey open up some of our coal
seams. Mr.. Thorn lives at Charles
ton; he returned to Charleston this
week.
j. I. Slaughter moved to the woods
the first of this week to his big job
of cutting timber; he says he has a
five year job. John Finlin, of Cass-
ity was on the creek last Sunday at
church and calling on his old friends.
John Conley, Payroll boss and D.
klttle, Pitt boss of the Three Fork
Coal Co. were on the creek during
the week looking at the new coal Ira

This issue completes the seventh
volume of The Belington Progressive.
Seven years have come and gone in
which we have had our pleasures,
our regrets, our triumphs, our sor-
rows. We feel that in the main our
efforts have not been in vain. We
feel that we have accomplished much.
We feel that we have been faithful
to the trust, and that our searches
in finding and spreading the truths
to the public have been sources of
information. We are satisfied with
the accomplishments of Prohibition
and Good Roads-two of our "hob-
bies". In the future, we will strive
to continue on the progressive road,
regardless of the bouquets and brick
bats that we may encounter.

AS Debs' body was locked away in
West Virginia's bastile, his mind did
not concern itself with the question of
any presidential pardon that might
come offering him release.
Suppose" we had asked him, be-
fore he was separated from US, sup
pose President Wilson should cable
pardon for you without any strings
attached to it, an unconditional par
don, what would you do, what would
be you attitude?"
Debs' answer came without a mo-
ment's hesitation
Il shall refuse to accept it unless
the same pardon is extended to every
man and woman in prison under the
Espionage Law. They must let them
all out, w. WIS and all-or
won't come out. l do not want any
special dispensation of justice in my
case. 1t is perfectly clear. 1 have

Club Of Pitiiess Publicity
[By Carl b., GrQat, United Press Staff
Correspondent /

correspondent
PARIS, March 31-President Will
son was understood today to have
threatened to use the club of ''pitiless
publicity in an effort to speed up the
peace conference.
According to persons close to the
president, he is said to have animated
to the others of the big four that
unless their sessions begin to show
results he will publish to the world
the facts of who is delaying the peace
settlement and why,
Things must come to head quickly,
laccording to the impression obtained
by American congressman after a con-
versation with the president yesterday.
| The President frankly discussed
many peace problems and said he
wanted to get American soldiers home
as rapidly as possible. He reiterated
that the league of nations covenant is
not delaying the peace settlement, but
indicated that the reparations ques-
tion has badly hampered deliberations
during the past week.
The congressman gathered that VIII
son would not stand for much moro
dallying. One declared his belief the
president is prepared to return to the
United States when the conferences
work Is completed, tell the people the
results were the best that could be
obtained under the circumstances and
then leave it up to the senate to ac-
cept or reject the treaty.
In this connection it was said the
president evidently reached the con-
c'usion that he could not obtain
clause definitely protecting the Monroe
doctrine and was nearly ready to ac-
cept the covenant without a specific
Monroe doctrine section. The con-
gressmen said the concensus of the
delegations opinion was that there
ought to be some provision in the
league constitution whereby zones of
primary responsibility would be estab-
lished, thereby relieving America of
the necessity for participating in
minor European squabbIes.

Damages Prussia Must Pay Allies for

TUnited Press Leased Wire Service.I
PARIS, March 31.--When the big
four resumed it's sessions today the
question of reparations was expected
to be the principal subject of discus
sion An effort was to be made to
dispose of this problem, which is un-
derstood to have been chiefly instru-
mental in delaying the peace work
during the past week.
Premier Lloyd-George, 1t was
learned, was prepared to offer sub
stitute for the French plan pre-
sented last week, which proposed
that Frances share of indemnities
be si6,eOo, 900 900. A prominent finan
cial expert told The United Press to
day that the "big four" had obtained
the advice Of several financiers in
this matter and that he understood
the French proposal had been head.
ed off,
While the informant did not re-
veal the exact nature of the finan-
ciers' advice, he indicated that Presi-
dent Wilson and Lloyd-George felt
that Sic, 900 was excessive, in
asmuch as from $25,000,000, 900 to
StU,OUO,tUV,VUO idu uCSll oShSSe cAN
as the maximum of reparations. He
added that the situation is such that
the French cannot expect to get an
excessive amount.
Reconciliation of the French view
point with that Of the other allies
was admitted to present difficulties,
but the problem will be approved
sympathetically 1t was said. France
has insisted on Germany paying a
large proportion of the cost Of the
war. If she does not get as large an
amount as she anticipated, the
French people will be taxed heavier,
and will resent it, according to
French officials. On the other hand,
the other allies contend there Is no
use in presenting huge war bill
which could not be collected.
The week is likely to see an ef-
fort made to further crystalize the
work of the big four" in an effort
to increase the speed of the peace
negotiations. In addition to induc-
ing France to accept a lower figure
for reparation, the other allies will
seek to reconcile the French claim
to the Saar valley with Wilson's po-
sition that no territory now distinctly
German must become French pos
session.
AS one Paris newspaper expressed
it, annexation of the Saar valley
would be likely to create a new
AlsaceIorraine, which would later
be future cause Of war. A compro-
mise may be attempted by which
France would obtain large quantities
Of coal from the Saar basins without
actually converting that region into
French territory.
