Brought to account, is a matter we are

Mr. Mott has recently returned from
Europe where he supervised the work

tries.
AN peoples are on their nerves"
he said, (Which are worn and thread
bare. The spirit of criticism prevails
everywhere. ON the other side IT is
everywhere in evidence. Nations,
whether yictors OF yanuuished, are
torn and embittcred. Deep chasms
exist between nations. We are not
through with war yet. | need not par
ticularize. We have the Bolsheviki,
and deep chasms not only exist be-
tween nations hut between classes
within nations. They are gaping and
yawning ominously 10 those who look
with their eyes OPEN The people Of
the world are awakening to the price
they must pay and they are fast drift
ing into the zone of pessimism."
Commenting on the fact that Rus
sia lest 100000 of her sons in the
war, Mr. Mott protested against cri-
ticism of that country.
1T is the last nation h said with
whom we should become impatient.

TEXAS ELECTION
ON DRY LAW AND
SUFF RACE CLOSE

Dallas, Tex, May 24.--The fates of
both the prohibition and the woman S
suffrage amendment TO the state con-
stitution were in doubt tonight when
reports from two score scattering
cities in the state had been counted.
The vote then stood: For prohibition,
15,523; against prohibition, 17,768;
for suffrage, 1854; against suffrage,
1870.
This count included many of the
larger cities, some of which had been
counted on to vote against prohibit
ton and suffrage. The country and
the smaller towns voted dry and for
the women and the earlier returns
piled up substantial leads for both
amendments.
The first setback for the drys came
when San Antonio reported forty-two
precincts out of ninety-three as giving
1885 votes for prohibition and 5,S45
against, and 1854 for suffrage and
4.S93 against.
Galveston added to the wet adj
vantage when twenty-seven of thirty
one precincts in the county gave pro-
hibition 1867 votes to 3,017 against
and 1.542 for suffrage to 2,9G5
against.
llIt uTyS SdlDtu III I'diitS anu 80
did the suffrag!sts, the vote being:
For prohibition, 4.002; against, 1895;
for suffrage. 4,25S; against 1886.
Cleburne, Texarkana. Paris, Beau
mont, Austin, Navasota, San Angelo,
Waxahachie. Denton, Lonsview, Min
eral Wells, Palestine and other of the
smaller cities voted strongly dry.
Brownsville voted wet but was out
voted by Cameron county. in which it
is located
Maverick, the border county in
which EAGLE Pass IS located. returned
a total of sixty-siX votes for and los
against prohibition.
1t was estimated that amendments
to raise the governors salary from
$4,000 to $4,000 and to provide
mtans to extend the states credit to
had been lost.
BY a vote of more than two to one
the proposal to issue s6,500.000 bonds
to build complete system of perma-
nent highways in Dallas county was
carried. A road tax of Is cents on
the $500 also received majority vote,

MASS NEE INC Of
CHINE. E.sE CONDEMN
TERMS Of PEACE

10y HoPhiNS JOURNAL srECtSI LEASED WtREI
Amcy China, May 24.--At a mass
meeting here today attended by a
great throng of people protests were
adopted against the terms Of the peace
treaty with Germany as they affect
/ Ts!ng Tau, and Shantung. An al
dress to the American press on the
subject was adopted, and telGgroms
also were ordered sent to the Paris
peace conference, the Chinese peace
delegates and the legations Of the al
lied and associated powers in Peking
with Chna's declaration of war all
previous treaties including that affect
ing TslnE Tao, were rendered Vo,d."
The address TO the American press
reads. Justice demands the direct
restoration of Using Tao to China.
China is willing to make Using Tao an
open port and indemnify Japan for all
;he expenses of her conquest.
THE allied powers justify Japan s
retention of the economic interests OF
Shantung because of the Kao Su and
Taishun treaties, but overlooked that
the said treaties, being concluded un-
officially and not having been rati-
fled by the national assembly are
void. If the Chinese claims for the
Shantung interests and Using Tao fails
China will never forget the injustice
and her resentment will result in ia
pans losing more than she gains.
THE Chinese people are now ns
watchful as before they were apathet-
ic. We must ensure our ideals being
fully expressed before the world. Ad-
miring your noble principles of jus
tice and equality we Chinese request
your cooperative efforts in our cain
in order to secura' expression from
President wilson's fourteen points and
the lofty aims involved in the calling
of the international peace conference.
