No Splendor Intended.

The ceremony other than these in
cidents had been planned deliberately
to be austere, betting the sorrows and
sufferings Of almost five years, and
the lack of impressiveness and pic
turesque color. of which many spec
tators, who had expected magnih-
cent state pageant, complained, was
a matter of design, not merely omis-
sion.
The actual ceremony was far short
er than had been expected, in view or
the number of signatures which were
to be appended to the treaty and the
two accompanying conventions, end
ing a bare forty-nine minutes after
the hour set for the opening. The
proceedings were carried out without
surface incidents. since the Germans
were silent, and the Chinese refusal
to sign was evident only by the vacant
chairs. The sole words to be recorded
in the protocol of the conference We're
NJ Clemenceau's short opening allocu-
ton with its brief stern warning to
the Germans and his equally terse
phrases declaring the ceremony closed.
The Intervening !three-quarters of
an hour was marked by the scratch
ing OF big goose quilts or modern
steel pens, which most of the dele
gates preferred for signatures. and the
steady procession of delegation after
delegation to the seats at the three
tables within the enclosures, upon
which, the documents were placed
for signature.

In his protest, Gen. SHUTS declared

soon be found out of harmony with
the new peaceful temper and unarmed
state of the central powers. Punish

LET'S co OVER THE TOP THIS
YEAR.

The time for the opening of the
schools of Greene county is near at
hand.
Every patron and friend of the
public schools should get. busy and
cooperate with our worthy County
Superintendent, Mr.. Pierce, who
worked diligently all during the war,
in the interest of our schools.
Greene county went lover the top"
in everything during the war. Let's
go cover the top" with our schools
this year, and make this one of the
best school years Greene county has
ever had.
May each teacher go into his or
her work with stronger zeal than
ever before. Parents, cultivate the
school spirit in your children at home.
1t is as some great writer said,
Home is the chief school of human
life"
Show them that you are interest
ed in their school work; keep them
supplied with good books fitted to
their needs, and have good music in
the home. We believe that if people
as a whole would cultivate the school
spirit more in the home, that many of
the perplexing questions that arise
in our schools could be eliminated.

a difference of opinion among Senat-

whether the 1926 per bushcl guar
anteed wheat price should be repeal
ed.
Although Senator Gronna, North
Dakota, declared his constituents
wanted the law abolished, and he is
planning to introduce bill to that
effect, Senators Hitchcock, Nebraska !;
Curtis and Capper of Kansas said
their folks back home wanted the
guarantee to remain for the present.
Those opposing the repeal said
banks had loaned heavily on the
strength of the guarantee, and if it
were done away with financial pam
ic might result.

Carranza Snubs
The United States
Asks Americans to Settle Claims
With Mexico Direct.

NEW YORK, July 1O.-First Chief
Carranza, having failed to reach ar
agreement with the United States
over the question of deciding how
American claims against Mexico
should be considered, has now resort
ed to new method of procedure.
He has decided to ignore the state
departments objections to his ex-
elusive Mexican claims commission
and invite Americans to deal directly
with Mexico irrespective of the views
of their own government.
As an initial move in this plan, Of
f1cieis here note that Carranza has
already established financial agency
at 12O Broadway and has begun to
advertise his willingness to settle
claims along lines vaguely summar
lied. Gen. Candida Aguilar is under
stood to have been instructed to do
business with the American claimants
direct and not waste further time in
trying to obtain an official O. X. on
Carranza's scheme from Washington.
The effect of this latest Carranzista
move has partly amazed and partly
amused officials here. They do not
exactly know whether to view it as
an affront to diplomatic procedure
or new form of propaganda. To
some officials it has the earmarks of
the old-fashioned "shell-game" be-
cause little doubt is entertained as
to the fate of American claimants
who permit themselves to be "roped
in" by the apparently alluring offer
of Mexican readiness to pay money
to American citizens.
At first blush it would seem that
any American who deliberately trust
ed a claim to a scheme which his
government does not endorse was
taking chances, but curiously enough |
it is rather expected here that some
o fthe first American appeals to the
Carranza agency may be speedily re-
warded in the same manner that
players at the gambling table some
times win at the very start in order
to encourage more play. But as
business proposition American claim
ants will doubtless be warned to place
faith in the regulation procedure and
deal through the state department
here instead of directly wealing with
the agents of Carranza.
The Mexican first chiefs plan is to
force all American claimants to deal
with commission made up exclus-
lively of Mexicans who are naturally
ready to do Carranza's bidding and
protect his meager supply of funds.
The United States government has
The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1919-07-10

been asked by Carranza to APPROX,
this plan, but has refused on the
ground that American interests woulC
not be sufficiently protected. The
state department has made sugges.
tons to Carranza to change the
makeup of the so-called commission
in such manner as to protect Ameri.
cans. This Carranza has refused.
! General Aguilar has been wrestling
with the problem without success be-
cause the United States government
has persistently refused to accept
anything which provided various and
sundry loopholes whereby American
claimants could be victimized. There
have been suggestions that the COM
mission be made up some Americans
as we'll as Mexicans so that the cards
could not possibly be stacked when
the time for important decisions ar
rived. But the idea of having Ameri-
cans identified with the rulings was
rejected by Mexico.
Carranza agreed to permit appeals
to be made from the commissions de-
cisions and in that event one Mexi-
can, one American and one outside
judge would pass upon matters at
issue. The prospect, however, of per-
hitting the exclusively Mexican COM
mission to drag American claims
along year in and year out prior to
any appeal did not appear promising.
Therefore Aguilar failed and left
Washington without having obtained
approval of Carranza's plan. 1t is
understood that Aguilar knew pretty
we'll that the United States govern
ment had seen through the various
subtleties by which Carranza hoped
to prevent American claimants from
ever getting hold of any real money.
But Carranza presumably refused
to be checkmated by the United
States department. He decided ap-
parently to launch his scheme regard
less of the American state depart
ment and ordered his agents here to
establish headquarters in New York
and invited claimants to trust to him
instead of the United States govern
ment.
at is also planned to accept only
evidence from American
INFANTS, instead of certified copies
Of evidence. This would eliminate
Millions of dollars worth of Ameri-
can claims because the original evil
1ence submitted to Mexico in the days
the end of the Diaz regime
las been destroyed. Carranza is I'M
lerstood to have seen to it that evil
lence of this character, which meant
money to Americans and expense to
himself, be removed from scrutiny for
III time.
Carranza, in his appeal, says he will
'ay for damages caused by the gov
forces in the campaign
against the rebels" but he is to de-
.ide through his commission whether
