The Big Debate.

Itappears that when President
Wilson returns, the League of
Nations fight is going to be car
ried before the people and de-
bated in every section of the
country.
That is precisely what ought
to be done. After full discus
sion, the public can be trusted to
decide the question, and the Sem
ate register the popular verdict.
Meanwhile, the Senate is vast
ing a good deal of time in rather
futile oratory. Why not clear
the decks for action by passing
the necessary appropriation and
reconstruction bills that most
people are pretty well agreed on?
Then the treaty, when formally
submitted to the Senate and ma
ton, could be given the attention
it deserves. Alexandria Town

Resolutions of Respect by Montgomery
Lodge F. and A. M. No. 168.

Montgomery, La, June "a, 1919. i,
Whereas it has pleashd Almighty
God to call from labor here below to
the celestial lodge above our worthy
brother, w. w. Fowler, who died at
his home June 22. 1919, aged 81 years;
Therefore be it
Resolved First That this lodge has
lost true Mason and brother in the
person of Brother Wash Fowler, who
was left an orphan boy in early life,
with the care and protection of a wild
owed mother and family of children OF
younger years, and later with family
of his own and had for many years an
invalid wife, and yet with all of his
trials, responsibilities and affections he
was kind and patient and helpful
through 1t all. True to his country,
lodge and church, and honest and
charitable in all his dealings, though a
poor man and having hard time he
discharged all obligations. Brother
Masons, Christian brothers, do you not
see Gods glory in the life of a good
man? Our community has lost good

the bereaved family of our deceased
brother our deepest love and sympa-
thy and pray that the Great Father
who watches over all may guide and
comfort and sustain them.

Mr.. j. D. Clarkson, general
manager and booster of the JEFF

Colfax at II m. on Tuesday, June
"a, on his way to New Orleans,
to head the Sociability Run
which is to leave that city for
Winnipeg, Canada, at $50 a. m.
July l. He was accompanied by
his wife. and was travelling in
his celebrated Sedan car. with
which he has made two or three
trips over the highway.
He expressed h i'm elf as
greatly pleased to observe that
Grant parish had repaired the
bad road in the Aloha country.
which he smartly criticised as he
passed through some months
ago.
He was eight days out of Kan
sas City, and had made the run
to Colfax on schedule time. He
syas that general interest is be-
ing taken in the Sociability Run,
and all along the line the counties
and parishes are all seeing to it
that the road within their limits
is being put in good order for the
occasion.

Germany Agrees to Sign Peace Terms.

Germany Agrees to Sign Peace Terms.
AS we announced last week,
the Germans have agreed to
sign the peace treaty dictated by
the associated allies. So intense
ly interested in the text of the
final draft and ultimatum of the
allies was the German national
assembly, that they remained in
session all day Sunday and Sun
day night in order to be inform
ed as to the contents of the doc
ument.
They made two or three at
tempts to further put off their
decision and gain concessions,
but the council at Versailles re-
fused to entertain any of their
propositions, and announced that
they must accept the terms by 6
p. m. Monday, June %, or take
the consequences. After discus
sion and amid great excitement
the German National Assembly
then agreed to sign the treaty
by a vote of 237 to 1873. without
pleading for further alterations
in its stipulations or trying to
change the penalties imposed.
They asked, however, that the
official signing of the treaty be
delayed until Friday, June q.
and this request was granted.
The surrender of the Germans
to the terms proposed by the al
lies is abject and complete. By
it they confess their entire re-
sponsibility for the world war,
and agree to surrender for trial
the Kaiser and all generals and
others responsible for acts of
cruelty and wrongs CONTRARY to
the rules of civilized warfare.
1t is not likely that the Ger
man promise to sign on June q
will be put off, because the mass
of the people are as anxious for
the matter to be settled as are
the victorious nations. Unofici.
al reports however, say it will be
a physical impossibilty to select
delegates and make necessary
authorization for parties to get
to Versailles and sign before
Monday, June 80.
The sinking of the German
fleet, or the occurrence of any
political change or upheaval, is
not likely to cut any figure in the
matter. So. with the next issue
of the Chronicle we confidently
expect to be able to announce
that all controversy has been set
at rest.

4]AR~<sSA ASOOAAs
Paris, June Is. The statment
made by Premier Clemenceau in
the Chamber of Deputies yester-
day concerning the probable date
for general elections is interpre-
ted by a number of newspapers
as meaning that the premier will
not retire shortly, as had been
reported.
Several newspapers print re-
ports that it is possible there
may be a shake-up in the cabinet
and specialists in social and
economic questions will arise.
The Echo de Paris says if any
changes are made in the cabinet
they will not occur before ratifi-
cation of the peace treaty by
Parliament.
Premier Clemenceau's state
ment was made in the lobby of
the Chamber of Deputies. The
premier said the elections would
be held at the earliest possible
date. possibly late in September
or early in October. He said the
governments principal concern
at present was oblization.
