Belgians Ask Terms
Not Satisfied With Preliminary
Pact

Paris, May 2 (By the Associated
Press) The Belgian delegation to the
peace conference is expressing dis
satisfaction over the terms OF the
preliminaries for peace as they affect
Belgium. None OF the terrltorlal
claims of Belgium has been granted
except that OF Malmedy. in Rhenish
Prussia, q short distance south OF AIN
La Chapelle, the population OF which
before the war was largely Walloon.
Malmedy will revert 10 Belgium. The
territory or the left bank of the
Scheldt river and Maastricht and the
Limburg peninsula are not mentioned
in the terms.
OF the S5O0,O0O, 900 already men
toned as an immediate financial in
demnity for Belgium, more than half
the amount has merely been placed
to Belgium's credit in allied countries
as part payment Of war loans. No
provision has been made for the re-
call by Germany Of the 16 billion
marks which are left in Belgium and
now are lying in Belgian banks and
vaults bearing no interest and unpro-
ductive as the circulation of the mark
in Belgium is not permitted.
1.-The amount OF 6.000.000 marks re-
presents virtually the total Belgian
LIQUID wealth assets" said member
of the Belgian delegation today.

rived in Paris this morning bringing

senate. He conferred with N. Hy-

Two British Admirals
rvRns
Government Broke All Preced-
ents In Making Appointments

London, April Correspondents
of The Associated Press)-The British
government disregarded all precedents
and created unique situations when
it elevated Lord Jellicoe and Sir David
Beatty to be admirals of the fleet at
the same time. Never had man Of
Beatty's age-48 yearS-been SO hon
ored and never had two British adj
rnirals of the fleet flown the flag at
the same time. In fact in the past
LOO years only three admirals OF the
feet had flown their flags at all.
It is tradition in the British navy
that if an officer is promoted to ad-
1niral of the fleet whe.l on sea duty ne.
is relieved as soon as practicable and
never again is assigned to the sea. In
this case Reatty's flag was hoisted for
only the four days intervening be-
tween his appointment and the dis
banding Of the German fleet. Jellicoe
had the distinction of spreading his
flag to the breeze from the mast OF
the New Zealand, on which he is MAX
ing trip almost around the VOID.
One Of the three other occasions
in the last century when admirals Of
the British fleet have been at sea was
when Sir Edward Seymour took the
Inf1exible to New York in 1909 for the
tercenteary celebration.

ton.

Greensboro, N. c., May 2.----Federal
Judge James e. Boyd today held as
unconstitutional the provisions OF the.
Revenue Act intended to prohibit the
employment of child labor. judge
Boyd last year held the federal child
labor law unconstitutional and his
decision was upheld by the Unteds
States Supreme Court. VA:
The previous case was broughtaos
test the federal statute which denie@,
the channels of interstate comnaerNe.
to goods made in factories where
child labor was employed. Despite.
the rallying Of well-known constitu-
tional lawyers to the defense Of the.
statute, it was held invalid by Judge;
Boyd After the Supreme Court up
held him, Congress wrote a provision
into the recent Revenue Act placing a
privilege tax Of 10 per cent on pro-
ducts of factories employing children
under fourteen years of age to any
extent, or the employment for long,
er than eight hours a day Of children
from fourteen to sixteen years OF age.
In making permanent an Injunction
granted to temporarily stay execution;
of this law in the Charlotte, N. ca;
case here today, Judge Boyd said that
the federal law tries to accomplish
regulation of employment by indirec-
ton under the taxing privilege in this
instance, as the previous law .at-
tempted it under the interstate COM
merce powers Both attempts he holds
to be invasion Of State rights. *

Columbia, May 3.-The Sinking

on Saturday bought an additional
S25, 900 Of Victory Liberty bonds.
we consider this an excellent in
vestment, said Malcolm J. Hitler, the
clerk Of the commission. In fact
the commission has bought $4,000 OF

The Sinking Fund Commission Of
South Carolina is one OF the most
careful business branches of the
State government and its purpose IS
TO invest State money at the best o.
tainable rate OF interest SO as to &C
cumulate money with which to b'ly
bonds. The fact that the commits
sion has bought $4,000 worth is the
best boost that the victory bonds can
get.
The Boston News Bureau, the
great daily financial paper Of that city
i'm an editorial by its distinguished cG-
ilor. G.. B. Barron. says: The victory
loan is still approved on all sides rs
the fairest solution the government
has vet made OF its financial prob
lens. The short maturity seems to

ton in principle and the rate seems

AS Matter of Principle.

Charlotte n. ca May Winstan
Adams, secretary Of the Amefiean Cot
ton Manufacturers Association, wish
Offices here, tonight authorized the
following statement regarding the
child labor case decided today by
Judge Boyd:
The manufacturers are eontest.ng
this law as matter of principle
rather than merely the working Of
young people. The manufacturers
claim that if this law is held consti-
tutional the precedent has been estaD-
iishe1 whereby the federal govern
ment can make and enforce any re5u-
lation covering conditions Of employ
ment of child labor.
The manufacturers contend that
this is a matter for State legislation.
rather than regulation by the federal
government.
This case has been appealed and
will be carried direct to the SIT
preme Court of the United States. An
effort is being made to secure hear
ing at this session.

have a full and definite report ready

of acreage reduction. The South Caro-

every county. chairman asking that
he make a report from his county in
order that the exact reduction in this
State may be ascertained.

ment issued by Chairman Wannamak-

ing to show that the New York pa

South Carolina at only 15.9 per cent
was badly in error. If this paper was
as badly off on every other State in

will be received at the New Orleans
meeting to completely discount the

Close Scrutiny Of Legislation
Carranza is Reported to
Have Asked For
MEXICO MAY NOT
PAY HER DEBTS
Carranza Government Pre-

Other Nations VIII Do.

washington, May 4-Financial leg
islation which President Carranza mas
asked the Mexican congress to con
sidersat the extra session now being
held is being watched closely by Off
Gals here, 1T was learned today. This
is understood to be, due to Amerlcan
interests being involved and to the re-
cent statement Of Louis Cabrera, sec
rotary of finance in the Mexican cab
met. that Mexico would not pay It's
debts at present even if it had the
money. preferring to await the results
of the peace conference to see what
the world in general will de with its
obligations. how many nations Will
repudiate their debts and how many
will trim their obligations to figures
compatible with their income.
Figures recently received from Mex
leo through Official channels give the
deficit for 1918, as announced by Ca
brera, as 1000, 900 pesos, or about So
500, 900. But an. investigation of the
Mexican financial situation by L w
sOsterheld, specialist and consultlns
expert in Mexican values for a prom
inent Wall Street firm, show that Ca
brera, in making report of the deficit
failed to take into account the fol-
lowing items, amounts being IN pesos:
National external bond interest fol-
1913, unpaid, 16,160,000; national IN
ternaf bond interest for 1918, unpaid
$500, 600; interest son unpaid national
bond interest, ,0sS, ,oe6: guaranteed
railway bond interest 20,7S9, 900; in
terest on unpaid interest on preceding
1896, 900, and bond qua canteed by
government other than railway
bonds, 3, ,a75, , co. -. s-.,--:s5s--
- Other figures compiled recently oy
oa;cials from authoritative sources
show that the Mexican. government
received extraordinary revenue during
1913 by the sale Of stock in the Ha-
waiian-American Steamship Line,
q ,000, 900 pesos, and the abrogation OF
the Tehauntepec Railway concession
1900 900 pesos, which are classed as
ordinary revenue in Cabrera's report.
In addition, the National Railways
which were confiscated by the Car
rama government, yielded during the
year 5000, 600 pesos; private indus
trial plants, mines, etc, confiscated
and not yet returned to the owners
gave another 100000 pesos to the
public treasury, and the Wells-Farge
and Mexican express companies con
tributed 1900, coo pesos, one-hal1
OF the income of the companies.
No reports have. been made on the
operation. of revenue of the Mexican
railways, the tranlways Of Mexico
City or the Mexican Telephone Com
pany's properties since they were con
fscated. but the official report @.
Cabrera includes all the amounts re
ceived from the various sources giver

of the governm ment.
