Debarks
at Charleston
Secretary Baker Tells Senator
Pollock Port of This State
Has Been Selected.

Washington, Jan. 14.-Despite re-
ports recently sent out from Washln@-
ton to papers in the South that the
men of the Thirtieth Division would
not embark at Charleston, the matter
was definitely settled here today when
Secretary P.ller informed Senator
Pollock that Charleston had been
designated for this purpose. TINS
puts all dou''t aside.
No date hes yet been set for INC re-
turn Of the men, but this VII! also De
made known TO Senator Pollock IN a
few days.
The Tennessee troops will go to
Fort Oglethorpe for demcni.ization,
those from South Carolina to Sewer
and those from North Carolina most
likely to Camp Greene 1T Charlotte.
This information should he good
news 10 those rcrscns IN South Caro-
lima who have c;@lives and friends IN
the Thirtietn Division and there will
doubtless be many happy relatives OF
the men in the State when the intor-
nation given Senator Pollock today
becomes known.
It is understood here that just as
soon as the sailing date Of the ship
upon which the South Carolina men
leave is learned preparations will be
made for their forlna, welcome home,
either in Charleston or Columbia, and
that they Will also be given some form
of recognition when they reach Green
vile.
Senator Pollock announced today
that he will address the senate during
the present week regarding q league
Of nations and a little later or he
will give his views on woman suf-
frage.
Representative Byrnes has taken up
with Secretary Baker the matter OF
Immediately releasing from the ser
vice farm laborers Of the South. Mr..
Byrnes contends that farmers are
now making arrangements for the
making Of another crop and that un-
less laborers are now released it will
be difficult for them to secure en-
ployment after the farmers have made
their arrangements.

Camp Jackson Reduced
Forty Thousand Acres Not to Be
Leased or Purchased-Seven-
teen Thousand Used.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The practical
abandonment of 10000 acres of Camp
Jackson, which has recently been used
for rife range, and the further utll-
ization Of the camp on the remaining
1900 became apparent here today
when Senator Pollock was advised by
the war department authorities to this
effect He was informed that new
leases on the 1900 would be imme-
diately made but that as to the larger
tract. it had been decided neither to
purchase it nor to renew the lease.
Senator Pollock has seen the OF
ficials here about this matter on sew
eral occasions and has brought every
thing to bear on the situation which
could reasonably be done to have the
entire $1,000 acres retained and the
camp used to its fullest capacity but
the department is against loading up
with more land than it can use.
1t is apparent from the action here
today that the original Camp Jackson
embracing the 1900 acres, will be
used but that the remainder, the 49,
000 acres, will be abandoned.

Paris, Jan. 15.-With the resump-
ton today of the meetings prelin1in-
ary to the peace congress it became
apparent that the movement to cre-
ate Il league Of nations is being car
ried on by two forces, having the
same object but differing on the de-
tails. One represents the contention
that the leagues decisions must be
backed by the combined physical
forces Of the nations, while the other
hold: that it's findings can be enforc-
ed without the aid Of a common world
police fo"ce.
