FOE PROTESTS
ARE ANSWERED
Allied ENJOYS Reply to German
Objections to Economic Terms
of Peace Treaty.
MILITARISM HAS ENDED
Note Declares That Disarmament Of
Germany Will Relieve mat Peo-
pie of an Immense Burden
of Taxation.

Paris, May 21.-The German
peace delegation has received Its
final instruction regarding the
treaty, 1t is believed.
Foreign Minister Brockdorff-
Rantzau has returned to Versailles
from Spa with definite policy,
according to reliable information.
Just what transpired at the Spa
conference is, of course, a mys-
terry. 1t seemed certain, however,
that the Germans will do one of
three things-sign with as little
fuss as possible; sign after some
of the present delegates have re-
signed to "save thew faces; or
refuse to sign at all. The general
opinion appears to be that Brook
dorff-Rantzau was told to sign.
Paris, May 21.-The Germans
probably will have until the end
of the first week in June to say
yes or no regarding their sigma
ture of the peace treaty. The
German counter-proposaIs due this
week are expected in French cir
cles to be so elaborate and voIu-
nninous that, if submitted by May
22-the time limit for the Ger
man repIy-the inter-Allied dele
gates can scarcely finish their
consideration before June 1.
Pris, May 21.-The German peace
ENJOYS have been given the reply Of
the Allied and associated governments
to the German note protesting against
the economic terms of the peace
treaty as being calculated to cause
the industrial ruin of Germany.
The reply is under II heads and an
swers each German contention. 1t de
clares that the Allied and associated
governments in framing the economic
terms has no intention to destroy
Germany's economic life"
Germany Will Play Part.
The report points out that in the
of world affairs Ger
many will have her part in the pro
gressive development, but also will
share with the rest of the world in the
economic losses and disadvantages re
sulting from the war.
The reply declares that the German
note fails to take in consideration the
fact that the disarmament of Ger
many and the end Of militarism will.

mense burden of taxation and return

lions of men formerly in the army who
have been entirely withdrawn from in
dustrial or agricultural activities.
. .. A. Allies Also Lost Ships. .
The Allies answer to the Ger
man complaint that the loss of the
German merchant marine will throw
out of work thousands of German mer
chant seamen is that the destruction
of merchant ships, chiefly by German
submarines, has had the unfortunate
effect of limiting the opportunities fol
work of seamen throughout the world
the Allied powers being the greatest
sufferers. 1t adds that there clearly
is no reason why Germany should be
exempted from its share of the eco
nomic disadvantage growing out oil
this destruction of merchant ships.

We are nation Of meat eaters

who warns us to be constantly on

The kidneys do their utmost to

eliminative tissues clog and thus
the waste is retained in the blood

e. T. ALEXANDER FOR COUN.
TY TREASURER

The News takes pleasure this
week in placing in its announce
ment colum the name of E. 7.
Alexander, of Beat 5, for the of
fee of County Treasurer.
Mr.. Alexander has lived practi-
cally all Of his life in the COM
munity where he now resides,
and bears the reputation of being
one of its best and most truest
citizens He has been voting the
straight democratic ticket con-
tinuously for over 40 years, al
ways supported the democratic
nominees, and never before ask
ed for Office himself. For the past
several years Mr.. Alexander has
not been physically able to do
much work, and as a result he
has had a hard time trying to
make ends meet.
The good people of Rankin
county have always made it a
point to give the office of County
Treasurer to a deserving man
who is physically unable to make
a living for himself and loved
ones, and we believe that in Mr..
Alexander's case they will find
him worthy of their considera-
ton. He is full of energy and
works as hard as his strength
will permit, but having reached
that age in life where strength
begins to fail, he feels, with the
splendid record that he has as a
citizen, that he is entitled to ask
of the good people their votes
that he may be enabled to better
care for the responsibilities that
he has. 1t has been our pleasure
to know Mr.. Alexander for many
years, and we can truthfully tes-
tfiy as to his worth as a citizen
and to his honesty and integrity
There is not man in the coun.
ty who will appreciate the office
more than Mr.. Alexander, nor one
who>really needs its emoluments
more.
On account of i'll health it viii
be impossible for him to make !
close canvass of the county, anG
he submits his case to the people
asking for full and complete in
vestigation of his past record, ant
Of his physically condition.
