tBy Associated Press,

JACKSON, Mimi, June 24-Elec-
ton of a jury was to be started today
in the trial of A. c. TownIey, presi-
dent Of the bipartisan league, and
Joseph Gilbert, organizer, charged
violating the state disloyalty law. The

for responsibility for alleged disloyal
literature which was ccirculated in

COLUMBIA, S. c., June "a An
other of the many clews to the lost

telegram from New York saying he

to the supreme council Of the confer

The announcement during the early
morning of the councils decision to
refuse further extension of time in
which Germany might answer, inau-

was generally known to the public

"a few hours separated them from the
portentious decision. The first light
came in a press despatch from Weimar
about noon, stating that Germany
had decided to yield, but nothing was
heard from Versailles until after 8
o'clock
A telephone message from Versail-

German reply, which, it was known to
a few of the initiated, was favorable.
The first definite announcement, how
ever, was made to American cores
pondents at the French press head
quarters at Quai d'Orsay at 4:50
o'clock, 1t being stated that an affirm
ative reply had been delivered to
Colonel Henry, Iaison officer between
the Germans and peace conference,
who was bringing it to Paris by auto
mobile.
The carnival reigned in the Boule-
wards far into the night and scenes
enacted at the time of the armistic
were repeated and indeed intensified.
Dense throngs swarmed back and
