THEJAPANESE ENVOY TO
THE PEACE CONFERENCF
(By Associated Press.)

4 4
Toxic, March 3.--Marquis Saionii
chief Japanese envoy to the peace
conferences in Paris, left Toxic Cor the
French capital on Jan. H. His de-
parture evoked interesting sugges-
tions from the leading newspapers as
to Japan's attitude in Far Eastern
affairs.
The Kogumin asserts that 1t will be
the task Of Marquis Saionjl to main
tain the principle of "the Orient for
the Orientals' and reminds its read
ers that he bears on his shoulders
the destiny Of the Japanese empire.
The paper adds that this policy ac-
cords with the principles Of liberty
and equality enunciated by President
Wilson as the basis Of a worlds
reace."
The Asahi, perhaps the leading
Japanese newspaper, with simultane-
GUS editions In Toxic and Osaka, lays
stress upon the assertion of the prin-
ciple Of racial equality and declares
that by upholding this policy the
Marquis would be in accord with
President Wilson's ideas OF justice
and humanity. At the same time the
Asahi remarks that the trend of
world affairs demands an absolutely
open-door policy in all international
relations and therefore in China. It
says that Japan's advocacy of the re-
moval Of racial barriers will not be
sufficiently convincing unless she OPP
emily pledges herself to abandon her
militaristic diplomacy which so Of
ten has been the subject of miscon-
ceptions and suspicious among the
powers
The advanced age of the Marquis,
according to Japanese ideas--he Is 20
this year-his princely family his
association with party politics, his re-
cent investiture with the Order of the
Chrysanthemum, the highest decora-
ton in the gift of the Emperor, his
fearless, uncompromising spirit coup
led with the languid manner be af-
fects. all make him to the Japanese
an interesting figure well-suited tosbe
the expression of rational sentiment.
Up to the present Japan has beer
represented at the peace conference
by a delegation in which Baron Ma
kino is the leading figure.

DISAPPEARANCE OF TOWN
HOUSE IN LONDON

London, March 1.-One Of the old
est institutions of England's fashion
able and wealthy class, the town
house in London, is disappearing. The
automobile is held responsible for the
change.
Many Of the smaller London houses
have been given up, and 1t is rumored
that at least one large and famous
house Is about to be put on the mar
ket. People are finding that they can
do quite as well with small, smart
fat or maisonette, thereby making a
big saving which enables them to in.
crease the comforts Of their house in
the country.
A social observer says that he sees
the time near when the historical
London mansion will no longer exist,
and people OF means, when they come
to London, will entertain in hotels.
The disappearance Of the town house
will mean the further development OF
certain kinds of. hotels and restau-
rants.
1t is said that one effect Of the new
order of things will be shown this
season in the King and Queen using
Windsor Castle, rs miles from Lon
don, much more as a residence than
Buckingham Palace, which is in the
city.

work. The campaign will take place
the latter part Of May of this year.
The Salvation Army" said Miss
Booth, was given very small per-
centage of the funds raised In the
United War Work Campaign and SOL
'diers and citizens have for some
months been urging us to put on q
campaign for funds In order that the
returning soldiers and the public may
have the opportunity to give to the
Salvation Army a thank offering ex-
pressiye of their Appreciation of the
earnest services rendered by the Sal
walton Army during the period of the
war.
''In due time detailed announcement
will be made as to how the money
will be expended" said Miss Booth.
ut will go to the enlargement of the
work Of the Salvation Army and to
the perfection of the machinery of the
organization. For many years the
Salvation Army has struggled against
terrific odds financially and we be-
lieve that our friends will now rally
to our aid gladly and cheefully and
give us the money asked for and bad
ly needed at the present time"
srisadier Crawford Optimistic
In discussing the coming campaign,
Brigadier A, W. Crawford, Of the
Southeastern Department, with head
quarters in Atlanta, said:
Il feel quite sure that the friends
of the Salvation Army in the states OF
the Southeastern Department (Georg-
ia, Florida. North Carolina and South
Carolina) will gladly rally to the
standard of the Salvation Army and
will raise the quota of the department
without serious effort. We do not yet
know Just what the quota of the
Southeastern Department is to be,
but | am sure It will be just and fair
proportion of the total asked of the
nation"

Although the miners in America
are fewer, it is pointed out. the pro-

equipment. Sympathy with the de-
nands Of the miners in their demands
is somewhat withheld on the ground

-FOUR BANKS SUING
TO RECOVER $4,000
Laurens County Is Sued In a Note
Case Similar to That of
City of Marietta

Macon, Ga, April 16.-Alleged
transactions of Frank Scarboro, a
broker of Triton, who disappeared
several months ago leaving behind
obligations said to total 100000,
were thrown into court here today
when suits were filed in the United
States district court by four Mary
land banks seeking to recover $4,000
loaned on notes alleged to have been
foated by Scarboro.
The plaintiffs are the Citizens Ma
tional bank OF Havre De Grace, $751;
0G0; Commercial Trust company, of
Hagerstown, representing D. Camio-
cetti, $4,000; the First National
bank, of Aberdeen, $4,000, and the
Commercial Trust company, of Hag-
erstown, $4,000. The suits are di-
rected against the county commission
ers of Laurens county, who are al
legged by the PLAINTIFFS to have per-
mitted Scarboro to float the notes for
them.
1t is understood here the county
commissioners of Laurens claim they
only authorized Scarboro to borrow
$4,000 for them and that no amount
above that sum was secured by coun-
ty warrants and that the discounting
of any other amount was fraudulent.
They claim they have paid the $751;
900 which they authorized and are
not liable for any additional sum.
1t has recently been developed that
the city of Marietta is involved in
Scarboro's transactions to the extent
of $4,000; Tiff county, $40, 900, and
the Triton Packing company, $685.

STATE MUST BORROW
PENSION MONEY DUE
More Than Half Million Dollars for
Payment OF Pensions to Be
Raised by May First.

It was announced Tuesday after
noon by Marshall Nelms, private sec
rotary to the governor, that Cover
nor Dorsey had under consideration
the matter of obtaining money to pay
the pension fund of $626,000, which
is due May l. At present there is
only about 100000 in the treasury.
Governor Dorsey, who is now on
tour of the state with the special tax
comission, will investigate every angle
of the states present financial condi-
tion and will either borrow the neces-
sary money or make other arrange
ments, as he may deem fit.
j. W. Lindsey, pension commission
er, is of the opinion that unless the
regular monthly payment to the Uni
versity of Georgia and its state
branches and the state sanitarium are
held up for possibly two months, there
is little prospect of the state being
able to meet the pension fund.
w. j. Speer, state treasurer, Tues
day stated that there was only about
100000 more in sight for this month.
The governor has a borrowing ca
pacity of 100000, of which 100000
has been taken up. A loan for the
entire amount within the governors
power would raise only the amount of
the pension debt, while the state insti-
tutions would not be taken care of.
The amount due them is about $780,
900.

SMALL PAYMENT MADE
ON MUNICIPAL NOTES

The city on Monday made salts
factory arrangement about the notes
of $4,000 which were due last Dec.
31st, and which were held by the First
National Bank of Boston, Mass.
A letter received by the finance
committee stated that if the city
would pay the interest and make a
small payment on the principal, that
it would be agreeable to the holder
of the notes to carry them and let
the city make further payments from
time to time.
At meeting of the finance COM
mittee, this arrangement was accept
ed and a check for the interest to
May first, $1120, together with a
check for $4,000 of the principal was
sent to apply on the notes.
This relieves the city from an en-
barrassing situation created by the
immediate need of money to settle
these notes.
