The Board of Trade at it's meeting
tomorrow night intends to try to in
duce the board of county commission
ers to rescind it's action in cutting out
Of the years budget the agricultural
appropriation amounting to some four
thousand dollars, and which is paid
out on county demonstration work
advertising, etc. We would advise
the Board of Trade to let the county
commissioners alone. We have heard
some of our leading farmers refer tc
county demonstration work as being
an expense that doesn't justify its
existence, and we do not think it is
any more proper for the county tt
Fay for advertising literature or fol
premiums at fairs than it is to pay
for Sunday school quarterlies anc
prizes for the brightest Sunday schoo
scholars. AS a member of the BoarC
CT Trade, we move that the board re
frain from thus embarrassing the com
missioners with suggestions calculat
ed to increase the cost of county gov
eminent.

THE COLOMBIAN CLAIM
Est. Petersburg independently

(St- petersburg independently
Commenting upon the proposition
to pay Colombia So, 100000 for the
loss of Panama, the Chicago Tribune,
the staunchest of Roosevelt newspap-
ers, says:
"The bill was proposed to smirch
Roosevelt alive; to press it now is to
smirch his memory; to pass it now is
to label him as an international
crook"
This is, of course, an extreme state
ment. We can see how a United
States senator might feel that Mr.
Roosevelt made an error at Panama
and could vote this money to Colon
bia without intending any reflection
upon the memory of the dead presi-
dent. And yet it is a fact, as the Chi
cago paper says, that the driving
force behind this proposition has al
ways been a desire upon the part OF
certain men to "smirch Roosevelt"
And there was nothing in Mr..
Roosevelt's conduct relative to the
Panama affair that was not to his
credit. Colombia, for reasons salts
factory to certain of her public men,
was deliberately refusing to give Pan
anna, then a part of Colombia, the
right to have the canal. Mr.. Roose-
welt offered to pay Colombia geneF-
ously, and she demanded more. 1t
seemed for moment as if the whole
thing would break down. Then Pan
anna seeded and we recognized Pan
anna. Colombia is not entitled to a
cent. We cannot understand how
Senator Lodge can make up his mind
to approve the payment

new FACTORS APPEAR
President May Call Special Ses-
sion of Congress Soon.
Chief Executive is Keeping in Close
Touch With Situation in
States.

Paris, April l2.-While the sessions
of the council of four are occupying
the chief attention of President Will
son, those close to the President say
he is giving serious consideration to
the condition of public affairs in the
United States, particularly the situa-
tion created by the failure of apIro-
priation bills and the necessity for
calling an early extra session of Con-
gress.
1t is known that some of the Presi.
dents advisers are of the opinion that
a call should be issued at an early date
so as to permit the new Congress to
assemble in perfect organization by
June and complete the appropriation
bills before the end of the fiscal year
The President has not intimated the
course he intends to pursue
New factors have entered into the
consideration of this subject here One
is the departure of the military COM
mittee of the new Congress for Eu-
rope. and ii is foreseen that the COM
mittee, which is chiefly interested in
the appropriation bills, cannot make
the visit and get back much before

Company of American Infantry
Mutinies When Ordered to
Russian Front.
STATEMENT IS ISSUED
War Department at Washington Con.
firms Recent Press Dispatches Re-
ceived From Correspondents
at Archangei.

Washington, April 12.-The War de-
confirming advices from Archangel
that what amounted to a mutiny oc-
Cured among the American troops
there March 30
A company of infantry, the message
stated, refused to entrain for the front
until personally urged to do so by
Col. George +. Stewart, commanding
the American contingent. Open
threats were made Of general mutiny
unless a definite statement from Wash.
ington, insuring early withdrawal was
forthcoming.
The text of the paraphrase Of the
code message, dated March 81 follows,
the department having eliminated the
identification of the company and cer-
tain military information not bearing
on the incident.
Men Refused to Pack.
Yesterday morning, March 80, a
company of infantry, having received
orders to railroad front, was ordered
out of barracks for the purpose Of
packing sleds for the trip across the
river to the railroad station.
The noncommissioned officer who
was in charge of the packing soon
reported to the officers that the men
refused to obey. Officers then took
charge and all except one man began
reluctantly to pack after considerable
delay. The one soldier was placed
In confinement. Colonel Stewart had
the men assembled to talk with them.
Upon the condition that the
prisoner above mentioned was released
the men agreed to go. This was done
and the company then proceeded to
the railway station and entrained for
the front. That they would not go to
the front line positions was openly
stated by the men, however, and they
would only go to Obozerskaya. They
also stated that general mutiny would
soon come II there was not some
definite statement forthcoming from
Washington with regard to the re-
moval Of American troops from Russia
at the earliest possible date"
Withdrawal Is Ordered.
The department has cabled for more
information. From the message re-
ceived officials were unable to ascer-
tain whether a condition of mutiny
had in fact developed in the past ten
days. No comment was forthcoming
as to the course TO be pursued.
Presumably, 1t was said, Colonel
Stewart had been advised directly
that 1t was the purpose of the Supreme
War council to withdraw the entire
force from Northern Russia when ice
blockading the harbors goes out

German Government Will Be
Compelled to Accept Any
Conditions Imposed.
EBERT LOSING. GROUND
Able to Control Situation in Ber-
lin, But Their Authority Else
where Is Declining.

Paris, April 12.-Reports from Ger
many indicate that the prestige of the
present German government slowly is
declining
This process has tended to weaken
the official attitude toward the sign
ing of the peace treaty and President
Ebert is reported to have stated in
conversation with an intimate that the
government would have to sign any
peace the Allied and associated gov
ernments may impose.
Press Reports Significant.
Press reports announcing the proc
lamation of a soviet republic in Ba-
varia, corresponding movement in
Northern Germany, and the arrest of
Minister Landsburg, intellectual leader
Of the majority Socialists governing
group are taken by those studying
German conditions as symptomatic OF
what is to be expected in case the
present government falls-namely the
establishment of a new regime, based,
not upon universal suffrage and demo
cratic elections, but on the action of
the proletariat and the elimination
from the body polite of the bourgeois
population.
Information received from the lega-
tions in the countries adjacent to Ger.
many indicate the gradual weakening
of its power and authority, although
1t is still able to control the situation
In the capital and in the greater part
of the country by virtue of Minister
Noske's force of disciplined volunteer
troops.
Reports from Germany indicate that
the Weimar government will not at
tempt active Intervention in Munich,
for which the forces at it's disposal
are inadequate and will confne itself
to an attitude of passive disapproval.

| 900 ALIENS LEAVING DAILY
Enriched by War, Are Returning
Home, Say Officials.

New York, April 12.-Enriched by
war work, aliens are leaving this coun-
try at the rate Of more than 1000 a
day, according to custom officials, who
expressed fear that with the possibil-
ity that congress may limit immigra-
tion for the next four years, the United
States will face serious labor short
age instead of a condition of unem-
ployment. Since November, 1921
passports have been vized at the Gus
tom house, and since December $4,000
aliens have sailed. Customs officials
estimate that an enormous sum has
been taken out Of the country. Each
alien, 1t IS said, carries with him from
$1,000 to $1,000.

Told by Italy That She Must Disarm

Vienna, April 12.-Italy has ordered
the German Austrian republic to dis
band and disarm any troops regarded
as procommunist.
The situation at Budapest prevents
Vienna banks from making up their
yearly statements. 1t is impossible as
yet to estimate the value of securities
held by Hungary and it is said that
even If Hungary should agree to make
settlements with the German Austrian
republic any new money she might Of

TRAINMEN GET RAISE
Rail Brotherhoods Given S65,.
100000 Boost in Wages.
Increase Granted by Director General
Hines Retroactive Since January
Last.

Washington, April 12.-Wage ad-
vances aggregating $65 100000 have
been ordered today by Director Gener-
al w. d. Hines for 100000 railroad en-
gineers, firemen, trainmen and con.
ductors in both passenger and freight
service-members of the Big Four
Railway Brotherhoods retroactive
since Jan. 1, 1919.
The brotherhoods' demand for time
and half pay for overtime was grant
ed only for men engaged in yard SER
vice and for the others this question
was referred to the railroad admins
tration's board of adjustment, No. /,
already created for consideration Of
disputes relating to railroad trainmen
and enginemen.
$3.50 Average Advance.
The increases were arranged accord
ing to a contemplated schedule, one of
the aims of which was to restore the
wage relationship existing before the
railroads increase in wages last year.
The average advance in pay per man
per year will be about $3.50.
This action practically completed the
war cycle of wage increases granted
railroad men since the government
took over management of the roads Is
months ago. Only few minor re-
quests for more pay remain to be acted
upon.
Total Increases About Billion.
Including today's order the aggre-
gate pay increases allowed by the rail-
road administration to the 100000
railroad employees is at the rate OF
$S22,311 900 a year-more than $400
average per man. Thus the total pay
roll Of Americas railroads is raised to
nearly $4,000, 100000 year from the
basis of approximately $2,O00.O00. 900
on Jan. /, 1918, when the roads passed
into the governments hands.

Declares knti-Japanese Legislation
Would Prove Very Embarras-

Sacramento, Calf. April 12.-Robert
gram to the senate, said introduction
of anti-Japanese legislation in the
California legislature would be "ex-
tremely unfortunate at this time" The
cablegram follows:
Paris, France, April 10, 1919.
ITO Hon. Joseph A. Beck, secretary
Of senate of California, Sacramento,
Calf.
Your considerate cablegram In rela-
tion to the proposed land legislation in
the state of California and in regard
to the landing of so-called picture
brides, has been received
Il wish to express to you on behalf
of the President and myself our ap-
probation for your informing us of the
bills which will be introduced in the
state senate. In view of the present
situation in international affairs here
in Paris it would be particularly un-
fortunate to have these bills introduced
or pressed at the present time There
are other problems which would make
such action very embarrassing.
II sincerely hope you will inform the
senate of the contents of this cable
gram and the earnest plea on the part
of the President that no such legisla-
tion as proposed should be introduced
at this time
Expressing my thanks to you for
this opportunity to consider the advisa-
bility of legislation affecting our
foreign relations, am with respect,
Your very truly,
