PEACE TREATY RATIFIED
IN BRITISH COMMONS

London, July 22.-At what was
virtually an all-night session, the
house of commons completed its con-
sideration of both the German peace
treaty and the Anglo-French conven-
ton.
The bill carrying approval of the
German treaty was considered in COM
mittee of the whole, exciting, lengthy
debate, in which Premier Lloyd
George took an active part. The bill
was then placed before the house and
passed its third reading, after mo-
ton by John Devlin to reject it as
a protest against the premier's at
titude toward Ireland had been de-
feated by 1853 to A.

Current Events

Tuesday was "Pig Day" over in
Barlow county, and a big show of
young porkers was staged at the
Meadowview Farm, near Gainesville.
Mr.. L. E. Frost, of Chicago, and Carl
Wallace, j. E. Downing, j. A. Comp
bell and DIR. Bradford of our own
state were present to judge and en-
courage the exhibit.
Henry Ford in his million dollar
libel suit against the Chicago Tri-
bune is getting his first protracted
experience in the courts. For more
than week he was on the witness stand
and in one reply to lawyer said
"you are good enough attorney to
make me say so, but it would not be
in my mind"
Chatsworth, Elton and Murray
county, through Editor McGinty, of
the Chatsworth Times, made bid for
the next state press convention, and
it was only through prior claims and
hard work that Carrolton got it.
The state press convention last
week endorsed the president and the
league of nations, although there was
some opposition to considering the
subject at all on the ground that it
was a political matter and barred
from consideration in the convention.
After the matter was introduced how
ever, the convention voted it as per-
tinent, and passed the endorsing re-
solution.
Mexican troubles have broken out
again with the holding up of some
sailors who were unarmed by some
armed Mexicans. This occurred at
Tampico where the trouble originated
which caused us to land troops and
Marines in Mexico some years ago.
1t is said that efforts to avoid COM
plications are being made, but with
the Texas border aflame with resent
ment against the Villa outfit we will
do well to avoid further conflict.
It is said that two German officers
of high rank disclosed the plans of
Hindenburg to General Pershing, and
that recently they have been brought
to this country in order to safeguard
their lives. The names or destination
of these officers is not disclosed, and if
the story is true, their identity will
remain secret.
