JCNhEES REBUkED
BY SCEiDEMANN

Berlin, June 1.-At last it
pretty generally recognized he
hat the reactionary elements
beginning again to assume threatd
ing attitude and that their vi
lent opposition to the Governme
counter proposals of peace servl
mainly as a vehicle for a partisa
movement, just as the Independen
Socialists advocated peace at an
price in opposition to the romsse4
Socialists and Democrats. Wild
sist on modification of the trS
before signing.
Thus the extreme Right and LIE
though protesting quite opposi
views, meet again on common ba
tie ground against the existing G.
ernment, which both would like
overthrow, only to fly Immediate
at each others throats and De
haps to continue a civil war to SO
determination.
In the VorWarts Chancellor Sche
emann warns of the danger,
writes:
'The Pan Germans are al
gain They see another gamb
| chance of resuming their old dor
ant position. After having made a
timely termination of the war impos.
| sible by exormitant demands, and
| instead of having brought aboui
| the nations utter exhaustion an
| collapse, they are now to preve
peace by discrediting the Goved
ment's counter-proposals.
''Again they use the old methods.
! Characterizing the advocates of ne
! gotiations as criminals, again they
unload their hatred on certain per-
sonages, and I consider it an honor
[ to be one of these. They say that
| the result of the negotiations based
on our counter proposals will be a
| Scheidemann peace.
| TauntS Junkers with Past Errors
with that same phrase they used

ing the war for a peace of cchci1ia-

mot those Pan Germans be mighty
glad if we still could get such a
, peace? Would not they give thanN
on their knees for it, though twelve
months ago they laughed derisiye1y
or damned it,
Count Reventlow, who for yea1e
heaped the vilest sIander on Prasiy
dent Wilson, writes today: sGermanl

Versailles treaty was unacceptable.

METHODISTS OF
AMERICUS GO TO

Mr.. and Mrs. T. M. Furlow, accom-

| COTTON UP 100
POINTS; 33 CTS.
HOFFERED HERE

Spot cotton reached 35 cents in
Americus today the highest figure
quoted since last fall, but it failed to
attract any considerable sales. The
total sales for the day for the city
were approximately 100 bales. The
Commercial Warehouse reported dis
posing offs bales at prices of 80 and
33 cents, and 35 cents for one lot of
long staple. L. G. Councils ware
house reported the sale of about 25
bales. The other warehouses re-
ported no sales.
The market advanced 100 points
in both futures and spots today. The
futures market has been climbing
steadily for several days, but the spot
market has been keeping pace with
it, the basis going off daily. A few
days ago buyers were paying even
with the New York July quotation,
which today would make cotton here
worth Sd cents. Early this week the
spot market was computed on rs
points off October, then fifty points
off, and yesterday and today the quo
tation was IS points below October.
There is still plenty of cotton in
the warehouses, and the farmers and
holders are ready to sell-if they
can get their price. 1t is believed
that great deal of it would go,
should 35 cents be offered soon. Hold
ers consider the quotation today at
least cent too low for the condition
of the market, and are bent on get
ting their price.

Hints have come from the E@B%

itary situation within the euauix@
which would embarrass the Allies ssa
putting the peace treaty into effecs..
1t seems not improbable that the
move of the ex-Crown Prince is con-
nected with some such plan.
The theory is advanced by sorEns
that the ex-Crown Prince has fled
from Holland to escape delivery for
trial to the Allies, believing he wou1d
find more certain asylum among his
own people who have objected sws
strenuously to the terms Of the treaty
promising delivery of the authors Ut
