COLUMBUS, MISS.

Columbus, Miss, January 1. 1.(Special) Old Father Time deposited another stone on his ever-increasing pile of masonry Tuesday night but no fam tastic revelries marked the coming of the New Year in Columbus. True, it was that whistles shrieked and bells changed as the dying year passed into history, but the old-time hiliarity which one marked the event were con- spicuously absent.
 The transformations manner in which the coming of the New Year was cele- brated resulted largely from the scare ity of liquor as it seems that alcohol Is. needed to produce the exuberance necessary to an enthusiastic celebra- ton of almost any momentous event. It was comparatively easy to obtain liquor, but prices were so high, having averaged about SIP quart. that the demand was slight and very few peo- pie imbibed 8 sufficient quantity to make them feel tipsy.
 The people of Lowndes county have responded liberally to the call of the American Red Cross society, and indi- cations are that the county's quota of s2500 will be reached.
 D. r. Mccullough, local chairman, is in receipt of telegram from Cath crime II. Moberly, director of develop ment for the gulf division. in which she states that the campaign has been extended to January and urges him to continue the local work.

PEACE TERMS, NEARLY READY
Hun Delegates to Be Given Chance
to Study Treaty at Home
Before Signing

PARIS, March 10 monday NightD
-(By Associated Press. military
Germany will go out of existence as a
result of the adoption by the supreme
council tonight of the military terms
of German disarmament, as they win
go into the peace treaty.
These terms provide sweeping re-
Guction in the Germay military estab-
lishment down to 10000 officers and
men, the army to be recruited by VOL
untary system for a period of twelve
years.
Other provisions limit the arms and
munitions Germany may possess to a,
quantity sufficient for 100000 men.
The imperial general staff is, also
abolished.
The supreme council has already
adopted the naval terms, except a
few reserved provisions which will be
discussed tomorrow.
The first rough draft of the peace
treaty will be ready when President

fore March 20. 1t is the present pur--
pose to call the German delegates to

document then will be delivered to
them. If they are not prepared to sign
at once, they will be given time to re-
turn to Germany to consider it, and
return for a formal signing at YER

holding a session for debate at Yer

1t was stated this afternoon at Sou
ther Field that no significance attaches
to the relieving of General Kenly from
duty as commander Of the air service
and the placing of General Mitchell in
his place. General Mitchell has been
in France and Is believed to have had
more air service experience than Gen
eral Kenly. The latter has made what
the air service officers regard as an
efficient commander, but since the end
ing of the war and the reduction of the
armed forces of the nation, there are
more men of high rank than places
can be found for, and as result a
great many of them are being restored
to their previous ranks. General Ken
ly was previously colonel in the field
artillery, the branch and rank to
which he has been returned.
