The person who opposes the
league of nations because he dis
likes President Wilson is actua-
ted by a small potato motive"
that is not worthy of the dignity
of the pact" declared William
Howard Taft in an address at
Cleveland, O., last week.
81, as a Republican, believe
that party government is the best
agency for administering a Re-
publican form of government but
when such ISSUES as the league
of nations are brought up forcon-
sideration we should 60 outside
party limitations" said Mr.. Taft.
Civilization needs some such
measure as the league to prevent
wars, and the issue is too vital
to the worlds welfare and to our
own to be made a party measure.
:. "Men who object to the clause
eliminating ornaments, and dc
not attack their motives, assert
that under such an arrangement
we would be naked to the attacks
of ruthless foes," he continued.
But / want to assure you the
other nations would be naked

Six Divisions To Return From France In

June.
The fourth, fifth, sixth and
seventh divisions of A. E. f. have
been released for early debarka-
tion to the United States, so says
General Pershing. The four d.
visions are to sail from France in
June and the 9Oth and Slst will
also sail during that month.
THE sixth and seventh divis-
ions were released May Sand the
fourth and fifth divisions were
released May 10, to be prepared
for return to the United States, |"
said Gen. Pershing's cable mes
sage.
Following is probable order
of departure of divisions already
released, but not yet embarked:
May SOth, seth and SSth; June
Goth, 5th, 81st, 4th, 9Th and 7th.
Schedules ofdeparture, based
upon length of service and time
of release, have been necessarily
modified dne to increase in third
army; to necessity of avoiding de-
lay in utilizing ships arriving at
differant ports, and to necessity
Of utilizing rail facilities to each
port as these facilities become a.
vailable.
These considerations may
modify order of departure as an
nounced above" Gen. Pershing's
order concluded.
The release Of the 4th, 5th, 9th,
7th, 36th and other divisions men
toned will leave in France and
Germany only the 1st, End and
3rd divisions and some units of
the 9th, 41st, 83rd and 39th.
Secretary Daniels has announ.
ced that the navy expects to be
able to release from active SER
vice by Aug. 1 all'oficers and

AT the present rate which
the navy is bringing the army
home from France we will have
all of the expeditionary forces,
except 100000 men, back in the
United States by the first of Ju.
ly," said Secretary Daniels. III

BOONE COUNTY, C, THURSDAY %,
Uncle Sam In Debt twenty-five Billions.

The Public debt of the Uuited
States Government was reported
last week by the Treasury as
$24, ,S24,,345,O00.
Most of this represents Liber-
ty Bonds of the first, second,
third and fourth issues, but the
Victory Loan is not included to
any great extent. The addition OF
Victory Loan Bonds willbelarge-
ly counterbalanced by redemp'
tion of outstanding certificates of
indebtedness. No deduction is
made for the So, 1862, 900 loaned to
foreigngovernments Consequen-
tly the net debt would be ap-
proximately $4,000, 100000.
The treasury plans toissueoth-
er bonds later this year and next
year to meet the fag ends Of war
expenses, but in the aggregate
these are not expected to am
cunt to more than S., 900, 900, ,0f0,
so that the gross public debt Of
the United States is expected by
Treasury officials to be in t h e
neighborhood of $50, 100000 600
when the period of war financing
ends.
The treasury now has a work
ing balance of $to52, 100000, OF
which s657, SAG, 900 is on deposits
with banks throughout the coun-
try on account Of bills or certifi.
Gates of indebtedness and Victo'
-ry notes. The Treasury holds
1858, $4,000 in gold, but a lit
tie more than half of this belongs
to the gold settlementfund of the
Federal Reserve Board. Silver
dollars in the Treasury, which a
little more than a year ago am,
ounted to $3.50, 100000, had been
reduced to $299, 900 by melt.
ing down approximately $780,,
100000 silver dollars for export
to India.

of the teachers salary, fund and
the county tax may be increased
sufficiently beyond themaximum
levy of 35 cents to provide this
amount, if it:shall appear neces-
sary to the county board Of edu-
cation and the county commits
sioners.
+ As to the county tax levy, ac-
cording to the ruling obtained at
the attorney generals Office, in
counties where the poll tax, un-
der the levy for general State
and county purposes, amounts
to 50, no poll tax can be levied
when the 25-cent property tax is
levied.
For instance" says the attor-
ney general, If the county leyies
a tax for general county purpo-
ses of 10 cents, it is required to
levy at the same time a poll tax
levied by the State is SLAB, and
these two sums make $2, 1t is
further to be noted that no coun-
ty shall be compelled to levy q
special county tax Of more than
35 cents. If, after such levy of
35 cents, there are not funds en-.
ough in the county to run the
schools for six months, then the
State is to apportion to that coun'
ty from the State public school
fund an amount sufficient, when
added to the proceeds of the
county special tax, to run the
schools Of the said county for siz
months.
1t is no secret that some copn
ty officials have been somewhat
bewildered as to the best method
Of procedure under the schoo
laws. One of the basic ideas ir
the attorney generals opinion il
that, generally speaking, the S5
cent levy should not be exceeded
The levies are to be made during
the first week in June and it II
contemplated that other compli
cations may arise within the mex
few weeks.
