-THE view that Germany might
l after all refuse to sign the
- nnarn treatN GROW rnnil IL:

THE view that Germany might
after all refuse to sign the
peace treaty grew rapidly
during the week. Allied opinion was
confident at first that Germany must
and would sign. Berlin protests
were taken as so much play-acting
Count Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau's trip
to headquarters brought a new tone
into the dispatches from Berlin and
from Paris. AS definite results Gen
eral Pershing's trip to London was
postponed and on Thursday Ameri-
can troops were made ready for adj
vance into Germany. Comment in
this country began to discuss the
possibility of a refusal to sign, while
still holding that Germany would
probably yield in The end
So far as the dispatches make
clear the muddled situation in Ger
many, the question of signing or not
signing is largely political one, and
will be determined largely by politi-
cal mannuvres. AS a Berlin dis
patch to THE World summed up
the situation from the governments
point of view, quoting from a gov
crnment official who had attended all
he Cabinet meetings.:
THE present terms cannot be signed;
It we do not sign we know that the
Allies and the Americans will march
ii and the British probably will occupy
certain points and chaos will set in
within two weeks
If we sign in the present form the
government will be ousted; some of it's
members may be killed, and will be
succeeded by an Independent Socialist
Cabinet. Our military forces will not
adhere to such government. and
chaos Will set in within six weeks.
"In either case, Germany will find
herelf in a chaotic condition; on the
sde hand, we so into chaos and death
with remnant of honor; on the other,
it will be little slower. but no less
certain, and with dishonor."
Chancellor Scheidemann made
similar warning prophecy that if
the Allies insisted upon their terms
1t would be signed only by new
government Of independent Social
lists, the most radical element in the

ing without the German signature as
with it.
"ln reality Germany signed the
treaty November II, 1918, when she
admitted she was defeated and aban-
doned the means for further resist
ancc.
"lf the peace shall turn out to be
lasting it will be because the Allies
make it that, and the Allies will have
that job to do quite as certainly in
New-York tribune., 1919-05-25

doasnt!' and What horror next" is
as good propaganda as Germany has
ever had in Allied quarters.
1.-The situation is very simple and
should cause no unrest. If Germany
does not sign there will be no Germany
in the future and the world will be
mono the poorer

'Despite the fact that the constitu-

wartime prohibition law The repre-
sentativcs of a party which has prided
itself upon its doctrine of tariff

over this doctrine in favor of a
protective tariff on dyestuffs and
chemicals; and fresh from assuring us
that the world is now made over for
peace, he hints darkly that we may
have to encounter hostile tariff legis-
lation abroad shortly. From whose
side? That of our Allies? The enemy
is so hobbled that he cannot think of
any such legislation.

MCMILLAN Is BEST
SHORT IN LEAGUE.
avs the Charlotte Observer:

Says the Charlotte Observer:
There appears to be a little argu-
ment in certain quarters as to who is
the best shortstop in the Sally circuit
well we will cast our vote for Nc
MILAN of Greenville.''
Right! We have seen half dozen
or more shortstops on the Greenville
diamond this season and if there are
any who can compare with Mcmillan
he has not shown it around our lot
He is easily the most sensational in
fielder in the league and is as steady
as the rock of Gibralter He has an
arm that is a marvel, one that can
catch the fastest runner at first base
without any apparently great effort.
If a line drive goes over his head it
has to be about twice as tall as he.
Besides, he is hitting about $50 and
has won more games for Greenvlile
the past two weeks than any other
player in the club. What more could
you want?-Greenville News.

PRICE OF POTASH.
Tax Will Be Placed OH Cotton Grow
erS.

Washington,-It is apparent here
now, after the hearing before the
house ways and means committee on
the potash situation, that the increas-
ed price will undoubtedly go into ef-
feet within short time, the whole
congressional machinery being in Re-
publican hands and that the cost will
come out of the cotton growers of the
South.
AS, explained by those who have
kept track of cotton legislation for
many years, this plan of placing the
cost of potash at a high figure is but
another indirect method of placing a
tax on raw cotton. The plan is both
unjust and unfair to the cotton grow
ers, considering the present labor
situation but the facts may as well
be faced by the people of the South
that despite the best efforts of the
national legislators from that section.
the tax will go on in short time
making each bale Of cotton cost fro.
so to $12 more to produce it.
Representative Byrnes of South
Carolina presented to the commit'e
STATEMENTS VI TIE GiIeCtOI vi Tie SeO-
logical survey and of officials of the
State of Nebraska tending to show
that the Wertern producers had pro-
duced potash at cost of $120 a ton
exclusive of freight an1 should be
able to produce it for less in the fu-
ture. He stated that during the W.
they had sold their products as high
as $500 ton and their profits had
been sufficient to cover their total in
vestment and that price of $3.50 a
ton would simply enrich them at the
expense of the cotton farmers of the
South. He stated that it matters not
whether price was fixed by Ii
cense system or tariff duty placed
on imported potash, that if the cost
to the farmer exceeded 500 a ton
ii would be prob bitive price and the
farmers could not use it.

Thinks it is a Joke.

Yorkville Enquirer.
This from the Fargo Forum of
Monday, June 16, is a specimen of
the kind of politics some of the news
papers are practicing in the North
Dakota referendum campaign:
Senator ]. C. McLaurin, whom
Townley has brought to North Dako-
ia to defend his educational" pro-
gram, comes from South Carolina
which has to its discredit more illi-
teracy, more child labor, more raw
ished women and more than any other
state in the Union,' said Tax Commits
sioner F. z. Packard today.
ut is quite inkeepin with Mr..
Townley's policies that he should go
to one Of the most backward states in
the Union for his jazz politicians.
South Carolina is the native habitat
of the carpet-bagger. Its old-time
politicians find much in common be-
tween the carpet-bag regime o. the
reconstruction era which followed
the assassination of President Lin
coin and the reconstruction days
of the present time in North Dakota.
am not surprised that Senator Nc
Laurin should be found fully in &C
cord with the league program.
Until, however, he clears his own
premises, / am not inclined to look
upon him as criterion in educational
matters. North Dakota, knowing ever
so little of South Carolina's illiteracy
as we do, will not be inclined to pat
tern after Senator McLaurin's home
state. If the Townley idea squares
with South Carolina ideals, that
should, and l think will be, enough
for North Dakota. Reliable statistics
show that North Dakota has but one
tenth of one per cent of illiteracy
while the great state where Senator
McLaurin has done his reforming -
and he has been in politics there a
great many years-has % per cent il
literacy. Its child labor laws, if am
correctly informed, are also among
the most atrocious in the world"
This is = good Illustration of how a
few One-sided truths may be used
with telling effect in convincing peo-
pie who don't know.
Half the poulation Of South Caro-
line is made up of psople who were
slaves until fifty years ago. while the
population OF North Dakota is made
up of people, VINO fol the most part
were able to read when they entered
the state.
The vote of the 26th will show how
North Dakota squares with the Town
ley ideas" and it will probably show
too that a majority of North Dakota 5
literate people are able TO understand
and sympathize with a South Carolin'
ian who, to say the least of it, is not
SO be included in the % per cent ot
illiterates to be found in this state.
That the tax commissioner Of NORTH
Dakota really considers Mr.. McLaurir
d carpet-bagger, we don't think for {
moment. But whether he does or not
we are inclined to think that sooner
or later he will find that the gentle
man from South Carolina is rather
more of a missionary.
