Carlton Says He Gave

Did the Rest.

Washington, May 31-Newcomb
Carlton, president of the Western
Union Telegraph company, testified be-
froe the house interstate commerce com
mittee, today, that the trans Atlantic
cable lines we're taken over by the gov
ernment last November. after he had
recommended to Postmaster General
Burleson that this be done for CONNER
cial reasons.
His action was based on the belief,
he said, that American business inter-
ests would be served moro advantag-
eousiy thru government operation
Last October" Mr.. Carlton said, Il
told the postmaster general that, in my
Judgment, he was assuming great po-
liticaI responsibility in taking over the
wires. because the service was heund
to decrease i'll efficiency and he woud
be held responsible for things he was
not to blame for. During my confer
ence with him l suggested that If he
wanted to do anything which would re-
suit IN good for the country. he should
ask the president to take over the ca
bles and expand the service so that
American merchants and merchant ma
rine might have direct communication
to foreign points on American cables.
In order to avoid the censorship and the
unfriendly attitude of foreign powers.
i don't know whether my recommen-
datlon influenced the postmaster gem
eral, but at allevents. he later conferred
with the president and the cables were

GERMANS STILL DEFIANT
AS TO SIGNING TREATY

Paris. MAY 3f.-Premier Clemcn-
ceau, as president of the peace con
ference, today replied to the last two
German notes. The official statements
on the replies have not yet been Is
sued.
The allied and associated powers. the
Paris newspapers declare unanimous
ly, will accept no important moditica
ton Of the peace terms as q result
Of the German counter proposals. The
allies also will reject all verbal dis
cussion.
The Echo de Paris says that the an
swer Of the peace conference to the
German counter proposals will be very
short. The answer will reject almost
entirely all the German suggestions,
the Excelsior says. A few points on the
detail of territorial clauses, it adds,
may receive some retonchng.
Objections Already Answered.
The greater part of the objections
ais have, in the opinion of French Dip
lomatic and political circles, already
been set forth in separate Geramn notes
and duly answered by the allies. Con-
seauently, it is said, there can be no
modification of the peace terms and
there is no necessity for verbal discus
sion in which the Berlin government de-
sires to involve the allied powers.
The German peace delegation has
been notified that the period of delay
for presenting observations having ex-
pired, no further notes will be accepted
The German counter proposals were
accompanied by covering letter Of 10
typewritten pages. The letter apparent
ly is the work of Count Won Brock
dorff- Rantzau, as it is more concila
tory and adroit than the counter pro-
posals which were elaborated by the
Berlin government. The letter paints a
most gloomy picture of the fate to
which the peace terms condemn Ger
many. It refers to the sacred charac-
ter Of treaties. disavows the treaty
made with Russia at Brest -Iitovsk and
concludes with the following phrase:

tions which we are sure of keeping, be-

This meeting is FOR the specific
nurnose Of transacting concrete busl-

matters that will effect the policy of
the state, not only for today but for
the future will be put into effect and
eorce While the South Carolina
Warehouse act has served great pur-
pose, still to meet present conditions
it is absolutely necessary to make GER
tain changes concerning the ware
housing Of cotton, it being reallzea
that unless this is done the warehouse
system now being operated through

the hearty approval Of the farmers
and merchants, bankers and business
men. not only throughout the state
but throughout the entire cotton belt.
It is absolutely necessary for the pro-
dncer to not only warehouse his cot
ton and finance it while in the ware
house, but to go one step further,
market his cotton and finance it until
it reaches the consumer. Several plans
that will complete the chain have ben
worked out. These plans have been
submitted to, the bas st posted farmers
merchants, business and professional
men throughout the South and have
met their unanimous approval, it being
the consensus of opinion that it Will
