IMPROVED OUTLOOK
IN COTTON INDUSTRY

Some 400 mills containing 100000
900 spindles, closed down on April 10
and not to restart work until April
%. This reduction in output is es-
timated to have resulted in smaller
production of yarn of 40,O00,000 lbs,
while 10000 bales fewer of American
cotton would be used. The outcome
of the movement was that buyers re-
allied that lower values were i'm
probable, and an increasing amount
of buying set in. Cloth for China,
India, and several other minor mar
kets has been in demand and weav-
ers are anxious to start looms pre-
viously stopped owing to the depres-
sion. Burnley and Blackburn espec-

In American yarns it is stated that

PEACE TREATY
THE FRUIT OF
MANY MINDS
Representatives of 81 Nations
Spent Five Months on
Terms.

The Peace Treaty of Versailles, is
the fruit OF about five months in con-
ference in which delegates from so
allied countries and Germany partici-
pated. The five leading nations, the
United States, Great Britain, France,
italy and Japan were represented in
the peace conference at Paris by five
delegates each while the delegations
of other nations and British domin-
ions were composed of from one to
three men.
The representa- of the United
States, were President Wilson, Sec
rotary Of State, Robert Lansing, Rob-
ert White, formerly American Am
bassador at Rome and Paris; Col
Edward M. House, and General Tas-
ker H. Bliss.
Georges Clemenceau, Premier of
France, was chairman of the peace
conference.
At first supreme council or coun-
Gil of ten was organized SO as to in
clude two representatives each from
Great Britain, France the United
States, Italy and Japan. Suisse
quently this council was divided into
two parts-a council of four, COM
posed of President Wilson, and Pre-
miers Lloyd George, Clemenceau and
Orlando, and a council of foreign
ministers.
The conference of the allied delega-
tions convened officially on January
Is, to draw up the terms to be submit
ted when completed to the German
delegation. President Wilson had ar
rived in France on December IS, and
had visited England, Italy and parts
of France.
Invitation to Russians
One of the first acts Of the confer
ence was to send a proposal to all
Russian factions to meet on the Prin-
ce's Islands, to endeavor to compose
the Russian internal situation, but
this plan was rejected by the Rus
SLAMS. Various factions which were
disputing over territory in different
sections of Europe were directed by
the peace conference to discontinue
their conflicts.
drafting of the treaty occurred on
January "a, when the conference ag-
reed to the plan for organization of
a League Of Nations and committee
was appointed to draw up the coven-
ant. BY January so, the conference
had adopted the plan Of governing
colonies and backward nations thru
manufactures issued to various nations.
subject to the direction and approval
of the League of Nations.
The covenant of the League of Ma
tions was completed on February Ia.
On the following day President Will
son left France for the United States.
He returned to France arriving
there March IS. In his absence the

WITH WARS END
ROME'S bEGGARS

Picturesque Mendicants Resume
Places at the Historic
Buildings.

Rome, May Is, Correspondence of

esque galaXity of beggars who had
by sort of hereditary succession oc-
cupied the flights of steps leading
from the Piazza di Spagna to the
Church of Trinita de Monti ON the
Pincio, who have been from time to
time the topic of authors like Dickens
and Hawthorne, and who, for lack
Of patronage during the war, vacated
the steps, are one by one taking up

While the beggars arc full-fledged
descendants of their mendicant an
cestors they are not nearly as pictur
esque. They come no more with THEN
pretty brown velvets in brooches, and
short wasted coats. They are not
accoutred in the dress Of the Italian
striking qualities which colors give
and they have abandoned the romance
of the historic and ancient attires.
The new arrivals wear the apparel
of a western charity seeker, though
their clothes are Of modern, compar-
atively modern models. They are
not unlike American beggars, but not
nearly as finished in securing their
aims and putting forth their case. 1t
is said that they regard their career
on the steps as profession, and ex
pect aims because they are beggars,
providing soothing balm for the trou
bled souls whom they seek to make
believe: 'It is more blessed to give
than to receiye.'
Among them the artists can find
many samples for their paintings of
"Holy Families" Some begging
mothers bring all their offspring
with them as an additional evidence
of their right of possession of the
steps. The children play with each
other, unconscious that their mission
there is to attract the pity of the
passing pedestrian. 1t would appear
that the children were posing for a
picture of domestic Happiness"

Horse Meat in Moscow Brings
$500 a Pound; Potatoes
$3.50 Per RusheI.

ONlSk, SIBERIA, April H.. via
Nladivostock May ., Correspondence
of The Associated Prcss). Horse
meat sold at thirty rublcs a pound;
dog meat at twelve rubles; rye flour
at twenty-five rubles, and potatoes at
seven rubles a pound in Moscow last
February, according to an American,
Mr. Dillon, who has just arrived here
from that city. Mr. Dillon, who rep

said. ruble before the war was
normally worth fifty cents. It's value
now is predetermined owing to the
vast amount Of paper money which
has been printed by the Bolshevik
government.
BolsheVik workman who can find
employment in Moscow, receive $50
to 1900 rubles a month and, Mr. Dill
lon said, are barely able to live thru
receiving special concessions in food
stuff prices in Bolshevik stores.
Non-Bolsheviki, who cannot buy in
SUCH stores at any price, are now in
desperate straits. There have been
many cases of starvation and many
, suicides. There is much sickness, re
sulting from malnutrition and unsan-
itary conditions. Chambers is com
mon and results from eating infected
horse meat.
City Full of Idle
The city was full of unemployed
workmen when Mr.. Dillon left.
There were $4,000 idle metal workers
and a large number of idle textile
workers. People were burning fur
nlture to heat their rooms because of
a shortage of firewood
Moscow, according to Mr.. Dillon,
was half deserted. All signboards
of formerly prosperous business hous-
es had been removed after their pa-
ces had been Mathematical" Drunk
enness was prohibited under penalty
of death.
There was an endless Bolshevik
propaganda and PROSECUTING carried
on feverishly among returning Rus
sian war prisoners from Germany.
Strikes in other countries were hail
ed with delight, and a world wide rev.
olutlon was represented as being in
progress.
Instructions among workmen were
on the increase. The peasants were
desperate over a mercileSS requsi-
tloning of their property. Forty per
cent of the winter crop remained un-
planted for lack of horses and seed
The annual partition of land among
the peasants did not occur and little
preparation was made for spring
planting. Railroads were without
fuel except such supplies as were
brought from day to day green from
the forests. All reserve supplies had
been exhausted.
In the opinion of the narrator, all
that was necessary to cause the early
collapse of Bolshevism was vigor-
GUS offensive by the Siberian army.
A ruble is the equivalent of about
81 cents American money.

BUILD A SCHOOL.

Education is the bulwark Of American liberty.
The puolic school is the fortress Of education
Surveys made by the United States department
of labor through its division of public work and
construction development, show that this coun-
try is far behind its needs in modern school
buildings The education of our children is not a
plaything to be taken up one moment and cast
aside the next.
Effective instruction Of children must be reg
ular and systematic. Any other kind is next to
useless. Regular attendance at school is as nee
essary to education as regular meals are to life
and proper sanitary conditions in the school
house are absolutely essential to training the
young mind.
Fresh air, light, heat play grounds, are com
panions of text books in in1parting knowledge to
the young. Modern science demands that chill
dren be given modern care to develop their intel
lects. School buildings which do not embrace
these necessaries to proper training should be
abandoned.
School buildings should be the chief object of
civic pride. Tax rates, bond issues, financial
bugaboos of every kind should be thrust aside
when the building of the new school is up for
discussion None of these can outweigh in inpor-
lance the value of education to the child and to
the country.
Many of the old school buildings are useless
for their purposes. The need of the times is for
more new school buildings everywhere. Reports
say that in many places the children are crowded
and herded so that effective education is almost
impossible, because the thoughts Of the pupils
are consta ntiy distracted from their work. The
result of such a system will surely be half-baked
intellects and inefficient men and women. And
that, in turn, will mean national decadence
The working people vitality concerned in
this school building question 1t is their children
will 4[a Of
tenn of education. It is their children who will
not be properly equipped for the battle of life.
Then the slogan of the working people should be:
Build New Schools ~
IF we don't build them now, we shall have to
pay heavily for failure to do SO in the future.

THE FATAL ERROR.

There is a fatal error from which we may well
pray to be delivered-the sin of doing nothing.
1t has often been said that the man who never
makes mistake never makes anything else
Not failure, but low aim, is crime" said the
poet.
And you won't forget the advice to hitch your
wagon to a star
Never to begin unless you can see and be sure
of the end is also fatal-for no man can be sure
Of the end of anything, matter how we'll
begun.
How, then, shall you begin?
Well, there's the leading of circumstances
You'll begin where you Do the next thing
the first thing that turns up matter how sim
pie it may be- 1t will be to lead you TO
something else Whether it will be a better
hing will probably depend upon yurself
Then there's the leading of the worlds needs
Look about you and study the field-what do
need at this time to make them happier
stronger, better? Ask yourself-"What can I
10 to help?' Then try to it.
Furthermore, there's the leading of your own
ability and talent.
