From far-off Abyssinia comes news
Of two revolts against the government,
one headed by grandson of King Jo-
hanhes II, who died in 1889, and the
other by the governor of Dediazmach,
wherever that may be. 1t is said the
Abyssinian government will send a
delegation to Paris to ask for the ad-
mission Of the country to the league
of nations. Spain also has announced
its adherence to the league when it is
constituted.

TO be considering the adviSability Of
coming to an understanding with the
Russian soviet government and per-
mitting it to get food and materials.
This, Lenine says, is all he wants; If
it is granted his government can make
good, and then the allies can recognize
it If they wish to. He declares he is
ing Hungary in the pact and will then
cease fighting and stop propaganda
work in other countries. All this, it
was reported, sounded good to the
peace-makerS in view of the threats of
Germany to form an alliance with Rus
sia or to allow itself to "go bolshevik"
if the terms of the treaty should not
be to their liking. Meanwhile the
soviet troops of Russia were very busy
carrying out their threat to start ma
jor operations on all fronts as soon as
the weather permitted. They began
rather formidable invasion Of East
Prussia and were met there by Ger
man army which has been organized
by Won Hindenburg. They continued
their operations in the south and made
repeated and heavy attacks on the
allied forces in the Archangel region.
There, however, they had little sue
cess. But that the northern Russian
situation is considered serious by the
allies is evidenced by the fact that the
British government announced that re-
ofalx m.
low the American troops then on the
way to North Russia.
Official Russian wireless messages
that came from Petrograd Thursday
may change the Russian situation ma
terially. They told Of an anti-bolshe-
visit strike Of the railway and trans
port men which had stopped commune
cations and prevented the city from
getting any bread. Other dispatches
said the mensheviki and social revolu-
tionaries had actually started revolt
against the bolshevik regime and that
Lenine and Trotzky had come to a
definite break over the formers insist
ence on some sort Of treaty with
England, France and the United
States. Trotzky, Of course, holds the
military control, and he is regarded as
in stronger position than Lenine, es-
pecially so long as he can provide his
troops with sufficient food.
Interesting If not important is the
intercepted wireless message from
Tchitcherin, Russian foreign minister,
to Bella Kun of Hungary, saying:
"The revolutionary movement cer-
tainly is gaining in America. Ameri-
can newspapers say the states of New
York, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Illinois
and Michigan are especially impreg
mated by bolshevism. A riot has taken
place in Philadelphia, which certainly
must be attributed to bolshevist infiu-
ence."
Poland is sending distress calls be-
cause of the actions of Won linden
burg's army in eastern Germany.
These troops, besides combating the
advancing Russians, are said to be pill
Laying upper Silesia, destroying it's
industries Systematically and taking
away everything from the factories
Evidently the Huns do not intend the
Poles shall. find anything of value left
in this territory if they are awarded
1t by the peace conference. 1t is a
case of Belgium and northern France
over again.

= Marshal Foch was sent to Spa We'd
nesday with full instructions for end
ing the dispute concerning Danzig.
The allies wished to have General Hal
Ter and his Polish divisions landed at
that port, and the Germans declared
they could not permit it; and the ulti-
mate fate of Danzig was involved in
the matter. Before Foch had begun
his negotiations a correspondent in
Paris cabled that the "Big Four" had
decided that Danzig should be made
a free port, and added that it was re-
ported the disposition of the Vistula
valley would be left to plebiscite.
A Rome paper asserted that the
italian frontier question had been set
tied favorably to Italy by the peace
delegates.
The daily morning oasis., 1919-04-12

The infrequent communiques of the
peace conference are about as inter-
esting as excerpts from an almanac,
and less informative. One bit of news
was given out-the fact that General
Smuts had been dispatched to Hun
gary to study the situation there. This
did not please the Paris press, which
saw in it only another delay. 1t had
been hoped that General Mangin
would be sent east to deal with the
Hungarians. Official advices from
Budapest were to the effect that the
new soviet government was establish
ing itself and maintaining order, and
that it was disposed to make large
concessions to the allies in return for
food and fuel. 1t was supposed
SHUTS would open negotiations for
an amicable agreement. Bella Kun and
his associates insist their government
is communistic rather than bolshevis-
tic. The fact remains that Kun is in
constant communication with Lenine,
whose secretary he formerly was.

Flu Situation Better.

Reports from different sections Of
the county show an abatement of the
flu epidemic. There are very few
cases in Dillon and the situation at
Latta is under pretty good control.
There are widely scattered cases
throughout the county, but with few
exceptions none are of a serious ma
ture. The public is advised, however,
not to relax it's vigilence. The mild
weather Of the past week or SO has
induced more out-of-door exercise
and this iii measure has helped the
situation People are warned against
congregating in homes or public
places. The danger period will not
be over until warm weather comes
again.

it at the beginning you can cure a
cold over night One Calotab on the
tongue at bed time with a swallow

ambulance. Here l received careful
surgical attention. A hole an inch and
a half wide had been cut through
my scalp and through this wound a
part of my brain had oozed. This
wound brought paralysis to the left
side of my face and body. The bull
lets in my hips and legs had severed
nerves and broken bones until, for
weeks, the surgical problems (as l
learned later was whether l could
ever be moved again.
Of the 5000 marines who went in
to the fight 5000 were killed or
wounded. Some Of our companies
were almost wiped out. My company
lost 243 men out Of $50. l under
stand the Army records show that our
5000 were opposed by 10000 Huns.
These Germans were members OF the
famous Prussian Guard, rated as the
best soldiers in the world. They
were flushed with victory and went
up against the Americans with all
the daring that comes with contempt
for the qualities Of an opponent, but
they were licked, and licked to fraz-
zle, believe me.
My idea is that the Yankee tactics
the Germans. 1t was the
first time the brutes had been up
against "sharpshooters" and they
couldn't stand the "gaff." We had
hundreds of crack rifle-shots, men
from the west, and boys who had
had months of careful range rifle
shooting. These men, shooting ten
shots to the minute, picked a Hun
with every bullet. Right off the reel,
practically every officer in sight was
killed. Then with deadly precision
the men were picked off. Not many
were wounded, as virtually every
one Of the baby-killers went down
with bullet in his head or through
his heart. The thing was "uncanny."
1t got on the nerves Of the big "bul-
lies" Nothing like it had ever struck
them before and finally they broke
and fled.

BONUS PAY SYSTEM
AT BEST B CO.'S
Fifth Avenue Store Announces
Movement to Aid It's
Employees.
rs BASED ON RESULTS
Good Wages Assured to All
With Extra Compensation
for Unusual Efforts.

A statement announcing the establish
ment OF bonus system at Best & Co.
was made yesterday by Ancell H. Ball,
president OF the company. He praised
the system as the most satisfactory way
of arousing incentive and promoting the
best interests Of the employees. The
statement was as follows:
This annual bonus plan is the re-
suit or our long and earnest study of
the subject, caused by our ever present
desire TO promote the best interests of
our coworkers. 1t il based upon the
fact that the success of our business
depends on the success of the individuals
which compose our organization that
the growth OF the whole depends upon
the growth Of the individual.
Our aim in business, naturally, is
not charity, but primarily by square
dealing in buying and selling to obtain
financial success; and this bonus plan
and other policies which guide our bust
ness are simply expressions of sound
business beliefs and principles.
I'VE are not In sympathy with that
policy which treats the coworker'B in
terest as separate from that Of the busi-
ness. On the contrary. we belief that
the interests OF both are identical; and
therefore we want those who by untir-
ing effort have helped to make the name
of Best q Co. a standard in every home
who in fact are Best & CO., to share in
our success.
"Pull gets people nowhere In our or
ganization-Work and Results are what
count with US. We accpet no alibis.
For some years every member Of ouI
buying and Gales organisation has beer
able to raise his or her remuneration al
will and that raise is dependent or
actual Teults and not on the within OF
favor of some one higher up.
"All our bonus and commission plans
are based on our belief that extra re-
cults should bring extra reward, anC
that the amount of the reward should
be known to our coworkers in advance
This bonus plan is not gift If
any sense the only gift We make tc
our coworkers is the opportunity to worl
and advance by merit and, OF course
that isn't a gift at all. but an obliga
ton that rests on every employer.
This bonus plan is an expression o.
our belief that each member of our or
ganization, regardless OF position, is Of
prime importance in his or her posi-
ton, and that each one OF rs SHOULD
feel the Joy in our work that always
comes from being treated as a human
being should be. with good pay at al
times and advancement sure for worl
we'll done. and OF leading useful live!
