Washington, Oct. 6.-With the
prospect that Italy will ratify the
peace treaty by royal decree soon
and thus effect ratification by three
powers, administration officials here
look to see the league Of nations a
going concern within the next
month although the treaty may not
be ratified by the senate within that
time. /.
Great Britain already has ratified
the French chamber Of deputies has
ratified and official advices here say
the French senate will act within a
few days. With Italy these will
make the three nations which it is
stipulated must ratify before the
treaty becomes effective between
them and Germany.
One of the treaty's provisions
compels the Saar Basin commission
to begin functioning within two
weeks after ratification and this is ex-
pected to start the league on its ca.
reer. Much preliminary organization
work already has been done in Lon
don by Sir Eric Drummond, secre-
tary general, and the organization

Race for SIaughtering.
Fl LEADING CITIZENS .
MARKED FOR DEATH
"We Battle for Our Rights"
Was Slogan Adopted by
Murder "Promoter," Who
Charged Admission Fee.

Helena, Ark, Oct. GA state
ment was made today on the re-
cent riots by E. M. Allen of the
committee of seven, authorized by
local officers and Governor Brough
to investigate the trouble. charging
that the affair was an organized
negro uprising, fostered by negro
who preyed on "the ignorance and
superstition of a race of children
for monetary gains"
Mr.. Allen, who was one of q
leading men marked for death, after
hearing confessions, examining cir
culars and other evidence procured
by state and military officers in con-
nection with the work of the COM
mittee, issued the following state
ment to explain what the committee
had found to be the situation lead
ing to the killing of FIVE white men
and upwards of a score of negroes:
"The present trouble with the
negroes in Phillips county is not
race riot. 1t is deliberately
planned insurrection of the negroes
against the whites, directed by an
organization known as the Pro-
gressive Farmers and Household
Union of America established for
the purpose of banding negroes to-
gether for the killing of white peo-
pie. This union was started by
Robert /. Hill, negro, 26 years of
age, of Winchester. Ark, who saw
in it an opportunity of making easv
money. He had been a farmer all
his life. but lately had been posing
as a private detective, doing work
in this and all foreign countries
First Work in April.
"He started his first union work
in April of this year. He organized
the Ratio lodge in May of this
year. He told the darkies that he
was an agent of the government,
and because the senators and repre-
'sentatives in Washington were
white men and in sympathy with
the white men of the south, it was
impossible for the negroes to get
the rights that had been promised
them for service in the army. and
so the government had called into
existence this organization which
would be supported by the govern
ment in defense Of the negroes
against the white people. He told
them it was necessary for all mem,
bers of the Union to arm themselves
in preparation for the day when
thew should be called upon to at
tack their white oppressors.
"The slogan of the organization
is, We battle for our rights The
nass word of all the negroes was,
We have just begun
