THREATENS
TO WITHDRAW
FROM CONFERENCE UN-
LESS ITALY is ALLOWED
TO HAVE FIUME OR
THAT TIE r RIT ORY
ALONG THE ADRIATIC
WHICH HAS BEEN SO
LONG A BONE OF CON-
TENTION WITH AUSTRIA

Paris, March 21.-By the Associ-
ated Press-The Italian delegation
to the peace conference has unani-
mously decided to withdraw from
the conference unless Fiume is as
signed to Italy contemporaneously
with the conclusion of peace. The
decision of the Italian delegates is
due to the long standing differences
between Italy and the new Jugo-
Slav over the strip of territory
along the Adriatic a part of which
formerly belonged to the Austro-
Hungarian Empire and which both
nationalities claim.
The decision was reached at a
meeting of the full delegation which
was presided over by Premier Or
lando. 1t was Immediately turned
over to the powers. Colonel e. M.
House of the American Mission to
the Peace conference promised Pre-
mier Orlando that the Americans
hoped to present within a few days
Juggo-Slav disposition which
would settle the entire controversy.

THE EP2sS
OF SIBERIA
Is Hostile to America. Method
of this Country's Inter-
vention Leads to
CAMPAIGN OF CRITICISM

Vladivostok, March 21.-Never
since the landing here of troops in
August has there been such wide
spread criticism of the United
States. The newspapers are full of
TRADES and ingenious distortions of
facts calculated to SOW discord
Among Americans, Russians, and
Americas allies. 1t is an unques-
toned fact that there is a system
attic campaign. Some newspapers of
Siberia, it appears, have been sub
sidizzed and are distinctly hostile to
the United States.
The Russians, never overconfi-
dent regarding the intentions of the
Americans, have been ready listen
ers and the legitimate Russian press
reprints and editorializes on the
fabrications that have been put in
circulation.
Beginning with the disappoint-
ment over the passiveness of Amer
ica's Intervention, the sentiment de-
veloped mistrust and an outspoken
hostility in many quarters to the
Princes Islands proposal for
conference of all Russian factions
with the Allies, justly or otherwise
credited to President Wilson.

AN IMPORTANT MOVE

One of the most important mat
ters that has ever been presented to
the attention of the people of Will
son is the movement on foot to bring
about a better understanding be-
tween employers and employees and
especially the white employer and
his colored help.
At meeting in the Co1ored Odd
Fellows Hall last night the subject
was discussed in all it's angles and
at the close of the meeting a tenn
porary organization was effected
with G. L. Darden as chairman and
DR.. w. H. Phillips as Secretary
This organization will be perfected,
committees appointed and all phases
of the life of the colored man and
his family will be considered in or
der to make the negro more eff
cient. and helpful, more energetic,
more responsible and in every way
a better citizen.
Representative co1ored men OF all
callings were present and after lis
aims of Secretary of Labor Wilson
who started the movement, from DR..
McCants Andrews, who stated DR..
Hanes had been placed in charge of
this department, others were called
on for their views, heartily concur
ring, promising the movement ev-
cry assistance in their power.
Dr. McCants held the undivided at
tention Of his audience as he de-
scribed the colored man, the emo
| tions that move and influence him
| and prescribed the remedy. He
discussed the shiftless ones, those
who desire to get of on Saturday it
matters not how badly he is needed,
or how 1t will break up the organiza-
| ton, he talked about those who roam
around with no settled abiding place,
| general 1oafer and vagrant. He
said that the Negro was a good IA
tured proposition and a great imi-
tator and that if the white man could
get him to Initiating work he would
go to that and stick to it. He had
kgreat faith in the men OF his race
and believed that the south was MOI
only the place for them and that the
lsouthern man understood them bet
ter and they got along better in the
south but that the possibilities o.
their development were far superio
in the south than anywhere else.

A HEALTH DEPARTMENT

The Times as well as it's readers,
is fortunate in securing the consent
of Miss Sherman who is connected
with the Wilson County Public
Health Department.. to edit health
department in this paper. Articles
will appear from time to time in
connection with her work which is
proving of great value to the peo-
pie of the county.
Her work consists in the teaching
of hygiene and sanitation both at
the school in the home and infant
and child welfare work, the preven-
tion of communicable diseases, cor
rect feeding of families in order to
insure health.
All of these will be treated in the
articles she has so kindly agreed to
supply us. We bespeak your hearty
interest and cooperation, for the
lady is not only competent but is
thoroughly interested in her work.

THE RESTORATION
OF EXCHANGE
Between America and Foreign
Countries Fixed for War
Times Adjusting
TO NORMAL CONDITIONS

Washington, March 21.-All res
titution of the sale of Italian lires
by dealers as described in the Pres
ident's Executive order of January
26th, 1918, covering foreign ex-
change rights has been ordered re-
scinded by the Federal Reserve
board without further notice.
Drop i'm British Exchange
New ork, March 21-Sudden
withdrawal by the British govern
ment yesterday of its purchase in
this market of sterling exchange un-
der an arrangement which had been
in force over three years, provoked
a violent decline IN rates on London
and caused further nervousness and
unsettlement of rates to other of
the entente allies. The measure
was designed to stabilize the mar
ket during the war.
The decision of the British treas
ury took the form of a brief state
ment from J. P. Morgan & Co., fis-
cal agents, who announced they had
been instructed to suspend pur-
chases of exchange for government
account"
Mr.. Morgan supplemented this
with the comment that in his opin-
ion the action of the British govern
ment was in line with that of other
er foreign governments, its pproma-
ry purpose beinb "to permit busi-
ness to resume its normal course y
Sterling exchange had been "peg-
ged" or maintained at 4.767-16
since January of 1916, but yester-
days news forced cables down to
al and demand bills to 40, 60
day bills dropping to 4.682. This
was lower by 8 to cents than those
quoted Wednesday and caused a
a flood of offerings creating a free
market" between New York and
London for the first time in almost
forty months.
Francs reacted cents on the dol
lar but held we'll above the recent
decline and the rate moved against
Italy and Belgium, the latter how.
ever representing only a nomina
transaction.
The resumption of a 'tfree mar
ket" in sterling caused much spec
u1ation on the effect it would have
| on American export trade, the fal
! in price being unfavorable to Brit
| fish importers it was regarded b!
| some as probable that the amount
ON commodities shipped to tha
| country would decline.

the Farmers Cotton Oil Company
to speak. Mr.. Miller explained that
he had worked all kinds of labor,
and that his company the v. C. and
Southern Oil Company were large
employers of colored labor and that
he believed there were great possi-
bilities in the development of the
Negro if they were handled in the
right way and taught to understand
the responsibilities Of life. He gave
some personal "reminiscences to
prove this. He closed by saying
that he would do whatever he could
to make the movement a success.
Editor John D. Gold who was
present was asked to say something.
He stated that for a long while he
had been wondering if there was
not some way to make the shiftless
colored man who shot crap, and
1oafed a part of the week, and was
more or less unreliable a better man
and citizen. He thought this kind
of an organization would prove
ganization in order to bring all
possible influence to bear on the
situation and to bring the employers
and their help to better under
standing. He stated he thought the
trouble was a matter of training and
should begin when the child is
young and where the parties are
grown the community should take
| it in charge. He believed in his col
| ored folks, believed the possibilities
for their development were great
and to prove this gave some person
\ al recollections.
Following his came DR.. Sam Wick
| who thought this was one of the
best movements that had ever been
started in this community. He
/ thought the co1ored man should be
| taught the value of a dollar, how
! 1t came and what It would bring and
that it should be saved for rainy
days and old age and to buy the
comforts of life and not be thrown
| away. He too, thought the co1ored
man should be Systematically train
ed and that would eliminate many
of his troubles and make of him g
better citizen.
Rev. Robert Perry, DR.. Hargrave
DR.. Kitchener and others also spoke
in the same vein. There was a good
attendance and much interest man
ifested.
