Lancaster Grown Tobacco Bring
Good Price.

lancaster SroWn Tobacco Brings
Good Price.
Last Friday, l.. A. Baker of
Kershaw sold several hundred pounds
of Lancaster county grown tobacco on
the McBee market at Sc cents per
pound. The highest price paid for to-
bacco that day was 60 cents for a
small lot OF exceptionally good leaf.
Mr.. Bakers tobacco was the attraction
of the market that day. 1t was well
cured and of good quality. The Nc
Bee market was scene of unusual
activity last week-the sales of Fri
day tctaling over $4,000 pounds. To-
bacco growing is a new thing in this
section. Five years ago they did not
know they could grow tobacco, but
the results during the past two years
have been very encouraging.

dent Wilson to PARIS rs general adviser
and assistant at the Peace Conference.

OF the Presidents Cabinet becomes ef-
fective Tuesday. when he will be sue

retirings Attorney General will assume
Immediately his new position of unof-
fciai counsellor to the President during

Mr.. Gregory's functions have not been
clearly defined, but he Us expected to
advise thu President and the American
peace commissioners on constitutional
questions relating 10 the League OF Ma
tons and on many matters OF law and
general policy. There was no intima-
ton here that he would succeed any OF
the American commissioners now in
France.
Mr.. Gregory resigned from the Cabi-
net two months ago with the intention OF
practising law. explaining that the sal
AIRY of his position was not adequate to
meet his personal needs. 1t is said he
still expects to return to law practice
when his duties in Europe are completed
The nomination OF Mr.. Palmer as new
Attorney General was called up in the
Senate at an executive SESSION early this
morning following an all nigM session
on the Victory Liberty Loan bill, A.
tion was postponed because. of the alb
sence of many Senators. The nomina-

fenced by u. S. Army Court.

CoBLENz, March 2.-Sentences of six
months Imprisonment and fnes Of $2B,-
900 each have been imposed upon
Matthias Scheid and Jacob Ring, Ger
man wholesale liquor dealers, who were
charged with bringing brandy into the
American occupied area by misrepre-
sentations. Imposition OF the penalties
was announced to-day at Third Army
Headquarters.
The cases had been on trial during
four days of last week. the testimony
being heard by a military commission
headed by Brig. Gen. Harry Bishop.
The findings of tho court were ap-
proved yesterday by Major-Gen. Dick
man.
Scheid and Ring were convicted on
two chsrges-violation of the navigation
regulations Of the Interallied Waterway
Commission and falsely REPRESENTING
the cognac as wine. The prosecution
asserted that the defendants had con-
spired to bring TO Coblenz by boat from
Oppenheim a cargo Of 700 cases OF
cosnac valued at s25o.oOo.
The shipment was without n mani
fest or proper bill OF lading. The Gov
ernment Council maintained that the
cognac was intended for American SOL
diers and that the defendants were
seeking to evade the military police
and the feet of Rhine police boats The
sale of cognac is prohibited by general
orders.
Scheid and Ring are wealthy. They
have been in business In Coblenz for
years. This was the first Military Com
mission case tried in tho occupied area,
and the sentences were the heaviest i'm
posed since the Americans took over
the CoblenE bridgehead.

WARNS BRITAIN OF

Parliament Leader Says Con-

LONDON, March 2.-Addressing a mass
meeting at Watford to-day the Right
Hon. James Henry Thomas labor mem
ber of Parliament for Derby and gem
eral secrtary OF the National Union Of
Railway men. said:
The next three weeks may determine
whether our country. after emerging
successfully from the world war, can
avoid an industrial dispute whose conse-
quences may be almost as dangerous as
defeat by Germany. 1t is essential that
all classes shall understand the situa-
tion and, without class prejudice or bias,
recognize tire responsibility which they
cannot escape.
For four years the industrial life Of
the country has been conducted on bor-
rowed capital, which has created an at
mosphere fatal to sound economic prog
resa You will have to do what the
nation must do--retrench and build up
your losses as soon as possible"
Regarding the railway situation. Mr..
Thomas said that three courses were
open--the shareholders must have less
the public must pay more or the State
must subsidize the concern. The real
difficulty of the moment was 10 find a
permanent standard owing to the varia-
BILE and abnormal cost Of living.
There must in a democracy he justice
for all classes A fatal mistake would
be made b. either side assuming thst
because the consequences are so terrible
the Jother side would give way.

WASHINGTON, March A report
reaches some members OF the Senate
Military Committee to-day that New
ton d. Baker. Secretary Of War, is
planning to dispose Of hundreds of air
planes owned by the Government at q
price considerably lower than their
cost. The number OF planes mentioned
In this report, which has reached these
Senators in such a way that they can
not disclose the source. Is In the
neighborhood OF 1000.
As yet there has been no opportunity
to investigate the report. AS It has
come to the ears of members of the
Military Committee OF the Senate the
machines finally put together after the
waste of hundreds of millions of dol
lars are to be sold at a price said to
be about 10 per cent. OF their real
value.
1t was the Baker plan. according to
this report. to dispose of these machines
after the adjournment OF Congress-in
fact not to say anything about the plan
until Congress was out OF the way and
action to prevent the sale could not be
taken. Just how the Secretary OF War
wants to dispose OF these machines the
Senators who heard to-day of the re-
ported sale are at loss to undsrstan

down and establish new department OF

There IL no doubt that the authority can

that the Cabinet which piioted Dem
