Even SOUTH AFRICA
HAS ITS "DRY" ZONE
(By Associated Press,

LONDON, April 1.-While an i'm
portant section of the London press
never misses an opportunity to poke
fun at the United States for adopting
the prohibition amendment, the news
papers today were called upon to
chronicle the interesting fact that
within the empire there Is a native
king who not only endorses the pro-
hibitory principle but insists that his
people shall agree with him.
King Khama, ruler of Bechuana-
land, South Africa, was informed that
a government commission had recon-
mended the sale of light wines and
beer to the natives. He Immediately
declared that if the plan was carried
out he would forbid his subjects from
working in the gold mines. The in
dustrial situation, already rendered
almost intolerable by the loss of thou
sands of native workers through the
ravages of influenza, would thus be-
come alarming, for those who know
King Khama realize that he would not
hesitate to carry out his threat. The
temperance party, led by the king. is
strong in South Africa, where the
king is known as strong temperance
monarch. Also they know him in
England, where he has often appeared
on temperance platforms.
The decision Of the commission to
allow the blacks to buy intoxicants
was due to the fact that while men
employed in the mines would buy in
toxicants and the prohibition against
the blacks had given rise to large
illicit trade in drink.

Friends Most ActiUc in
Indiana Dry Campaigns

Although Friends are responsible
for only a portion of prohibition work
throughout the country as nearly all
churches have joined in the crusade,
a recent statement made by E. S. Shu-
macker, superintendent Of the Indiana
Anu-Saloon League shows that a large
amount of legislation against saloons
in the state of Indiana has been done
by Friends. In explaining the Indiana
situation today, Timothy Nicholson re-
marked that Schumacher had said
nearly all the temperance laws Of
this state were championed by the
Quakers. The Baxter law by Senator
William Baxter; the Nicholson Re-
monstrance law by Representative s..
Edgar Nicholson; the county option
law by Senator Linton Cox, and the
prohibition law by Representative
Frank E. Wright were all introduced
by Friends.

Samoan Chiefs Withdraw
Request for u. S. Rule
(By Associated Press)

TUTUILA, American Samoa, Mar.
31-British Samoan chiefs withdrew
today their petition requesting trans
fer to American rule. They expressed
dissatisfaction only with conditions
under Colonel Logan, former British
administrator. Col. Tate, his sue
cessor, conciliated them and gained
their confidence.
Native chiefs of Western Samoa
under British rule, were reported early
in March as dissatisfied with the
British administration. They were
represented as favoring a transfer Of
the islands of Upolu and Savaii to
American jurisdiction. The agitation
followed the influenza epidemic, which
exacted a heavy toll of lives in the
British section, but did not reach the
American territory, which was quar-
antined against it with great strict
ness.

BORAH APPROVES
ROOT PLAN FOR
WORLD LEAGUE
Opponent of Present Coven-
ant Expresses Himself as in
Accord With Root.

WASHINGTON, April Amend
ments to the league of nations consti-
tuition proposed by Elihu Root were
the subject Of considerable comment
among senators today.
Senator William e. Borah Of Idaho,
chief antagonist Of the league among
the Republicans, expressed himself as
being entirely In accord with Mr..
Roots position. He welcomed Mr..
Root to the side Of those who insist
upon formal recognition Of the Mon
roe doctrine.
In direct opposition to Senator Bor-
rah, was a statement issued by Sena-
tor Gilbert M. Hitchcock, of Nebras-
ka, who will lead the fight for the
ratification Of the league covenant as
the representative and spokesman Of
the president. Senator Hitchcock
takes the position that acceptance of
the amendment proposed by Mr.. Root
would be prejudicial to ratification.
Monroe Plan Favored.
He announced that he would be
glad to see an amendment which
would preserve the Monroe doctrine,
but insisted that the question should
be separated from the question of i'm
migration, to which 1t was Joined in
Mr. Roots proposal
Most of the other amendments, in
Senator Hitchcock's opinion, would
make 1t practically impossible to OBJ
tain ratification of the covenant by
the senate.

ment, which would establish an in
ternational tribunal for the trial Of
disputes between nations, even those
including national honor and vital
interests" Senator Hitchcock said:
I'm my opinion, If this amendment
were incorporated in the league con-
stitution, 1t would add to the difficult
ties OF obtaining ratification"

WILSON THREATENS
TO PUBLISH CAUSE
OF PEACE DELAYS

PARIS, April Even President
Wilson's threat to publish to the world
the causes of delays in the peace con-
ference and to point out the persons
responsible has not wiped away all
the obstacles to an early agreement.
The president is understood to have
warned the conferees in a speech that
the nations were expecting facts, ac-
ton and results. His remarks follow
ed a statement by Premier Clemen-
ceau of the French territorial claims.
The council of four then went to work,
making more progress than during
several previous sessions.
Apprehension Still Felt
Sufficient results, however, have not
been achieved to prevent feeling OF
apprehension among the Americans
here. 1t is said that although the
peace leaders are confronted by for
midable obstacles a complete dead
lock does not exist.
The principal difficulty has been
found in settling on reparation ac-
cording to the new method of pay
ment suggested by the French delega-
ton. This plan, presented Saturday
before the council of four, contained
twenty typewriter pages. The meth
cd of payment was considered at the
morning session yesterday with f1nan-
cial advisors of the big four. Marshal
Foch explained the French position
regarding the left bank of the Rhine.
Later the foreign ministers Of the
five great powers were called IN 20
discuss the situation resulting from
the Hungarian revolution.
Reports to the French foreign office
indicate that the Hungarian revolI-
tion was staged largely with the pur-
pose of testing the strength of the Will
of the entente powers and was design
ed to frighten them with the idea that.
Germany might also rapidly disinte-
crate.
Procedure Is Discussed.
Procedure of the meeting at Yer
sailles between the German peace
delegates and the allied commission
ers was discussed today by the coun-
ell of five, composed of the foreign
ministers of the five great powers.
Among the questions considered was
the length of the session and whether
permission should be given the Ger
mans to discuss the terms or whether
a signature should be demanded at
once.
The first meeting between the finan-
cial commission OF the peace confer
ence and the German financial agents
will take place Thursday at Compieg-
ne, where an indefinite session will
be held to arrange the exchange OF
German securities for foodstuffs
After the first session it is probable
that no members Of the allied finan-
clal commission will remain in Com
piegne, as the business to be trans
acted will be of such a nature that
trained bankers can conduct it with
out assistance from the executive
members of the commission.
In addition to Compiegne. commit
tees are also working at Cologne for
the disposition of raw material, at
Rotterdam on arrangements concern
ing shipments of food, and at Spa con-
cerning the details of taking over Ger
man shipping. The committee at Rot
terdam Is the one that looked after
Belgian relief work before the armis-
tice was signed.

Half of American Deaths IN

(By Associated Press)


LONDON, April More than half
the deaths among the American SOL
diers in Great Britain were due to in

of the disease in the last three months
Of the epidemic among the Americans

LII. OF 5000 troops brought on one
trip by the steamer Olympic, 1000

one-thir6 of these cases developed
pneumonia, the proportion of fatalities
was very large.
These figures are contained in an
elaborate report being prepared by
the American Red Cross covering the
work of the organization in Great Brit

When the Olympic docked at South
