HE Nc-4 LOST BY TIE WAY

Washington, May 9.-With two OF
the three naval seaplanes which
started from Rockaway, Long Island
yesterday morning on the first leg Of
the transatlantic flight, arrived safe
ly at Halifax, navy officials were
bending every energy to locate the
third, missing since early in the af.
ternoon.
No report of the missing machine
the NC-4, commanded by Lieut.. Com
mander A. C. Read, had been received
after the machine passed the destroy
er McDermut, first station ship To-
Gated more than sixty miles north
of Cape Cod and half way to Hall
fax.
Orders were issued at once send
ing the McDermut and the next ship
beyond, the Kimberly, in search Of
the missing plane. Commander Read
had reported just before reaching the
McDermut that the oil pump ton one
of his motors was giving trouble and
he might have to come down. Later
the NC-1, reported to Commander
Towers in the NC-3 that the trouble
had been repaired.
Commander Towers, with the NC-1
and NC-3 made the trip to Halifay
in a fraction less than nine hours,
the distance on the map over the
course they took being 525 miles.
These two planes went through the
test in such fashion as to convince
officials here that prospects for reach
ing Plymouth, England, the ultimate
goal of the nevy airmen, were ex-'
ceedingly bright.

siding officer, speaking to the Ger
man plenipOtentaries, said:
"It is unnecessary to express need
less words. You have before you the
plenipotentaries of the small and
great powers united in this most
cruel war, which was imposed upon
them. The hour has arrived for a
heavy settlement of the account"
Paul Dutasta, secretary general of
the peace conference, delivered a
copy of the treaty to Count Won
Brockdorf Rantzau, head of the Ger
man delegation, who made brief
reply.
Count Won Brockdorff said:
"We declare that we do not deny
the extent of our defeat. We know
the power of the German armies is
broken"
He was unable to admit that Ger
nfny was solely cupable and demand
ed that the allies make peace ac-
coRding 70 President Wilson's points.
Germany pledged itself to repair
the wrcpg done to Belgium and gave
assurance Of the restitution of the
territories in northern FrsnSe.
The peace pact, on which the lead
ing statesmen of the various nations,
together with a swarm of experts
from the principal countries involved
have been working since the conven-
ing of the peace conference on Jan.
8, is introduced by an extensive pre-
amble embodying the assertion of
authority upon which the treaty is
based.
Immediately following in the first
chapter, the covenant of the league
of nations, the text of which already
has been printed.
Of the fourteen point sections, one
contains stipulations with regard to
frontiers which materially change the
map of Europe. Military, naval and
air terms are dealt with in anotherI
section, while still another is devoted
to the subject of reparations. Poll
tlcal stlpulatlons for Europe on the
one hand and outside of it on the
other are dealt with separate divis-
ions of the document.
The treaty as it is has to do with
Germany alone, except insofar as it .
is required that she accept agree
ments made by the allies with the
other central powers. The docu-
ment, long as it is, is shorter than
was indicated by some of the fore
casts which estimated its length at
100000 words.
The treaty is not printed in Ger
man. The text is French and English
on opposite pages.
Count Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau
asked for the release of German
prisoners and said that Germany had
adopted the league of nations.

LOCATED HERE TO STUDY THE
COST OF TOBACCO PRO-
DUCTION IN DETAIL.
IMPORTANT NEW WORK BEGUN
Christian One OF Only Two Counties
In State Where Data Will
T Be Gathered.

With the ending of the war and
the settlement of worldly difficulties,
the people and the government of the
United States have turned and will,
to an ever increasing extent, turn
their endeavors toward the building
up of our country in a way not dream
ed of before the war The story that
the farmers were growing into mil
lionaires overnight has been spread
over the country by those who desired
to reap a golden harvest while the
worlds attention was attracted in an
other direction. But the truth is that
while the farmers of our country
have been getting enormous prices
for their products during the war,
with the market values. Now that
their expenses have grown apace
the prices of farm products threaten
to seek their former level, the era of
government control and government
established prices on farm products
is at hand.
The price on wheat is already es-
tablished after the cost of production
had been carefully investigated. 1t
is probable that in the near future
almost every staple article produced
on the average American farm will
have its standard value. Already
many states of the north and west
have set the price on corn and oats.
Now comes our own great state
in the effort to safeguard the farm
er by establishing the price of tobac-
co. OF course nothing definitely has
yet been done in the way of price
setting, but a great step has been
taken in that line by the investigation
of the cost of the production of the
crop.
Mr.. j. B. Hutson, of the state col
lege of Agriculture has been sent to
Christian county to investigate the
cost of production. Our county is
the only county so honored in the
Black Patch. In the investigation,
Mr. Hutson plans to take into con-
sideration every item of expense
which the farmer incurs. The cost
Of burning the plant beds, the cost
of repairing the ground, of setting
out the plants and the cultivation
and harvesting the crop, all must be
considered. Of course it will cost
some farmers more than others, so

Versailles, May S.-Germany has
the terms by which she can gain
peace.
The treaty of peace was handed to
the German delegates in a session
this afternoon which lasted until 3:15
o'clock. 1t was an impressive occa-
sion, marked with solemnity, and stir
red by the declaration of the Ger
man delegates that they will sign the
peace treaty but that Germany will
not pay an indemnity.
The full weight of the peace terms

The fact that Gov. Jas. D. Black
was elected Lieutenant Governor by
more than 500 majority when a part
of the ticket was defeated in 1915,
shows that he possesses a positive
strength with the people. It does not
help other candidates for Governor
to attempt to belittle him. 1t would
be far more becoming to recognize
his services at time when every
@cte was needed, than to deny that
he gave strength to hard presse1
ticket. Gov. Black won his nomina-
tion for lieutenant governor in spite
of the calculations of slate-makers
and the management of the subse-
quent campaign was not his choos-
in, and yet he won by safe majority
on merit alone. If Governor Black
is defeated for the Democratic nom
ination, it viii not be because he
would be weak candidate. Figures
do not lie.
