who came back yesterday by the White
Star liner Adriatic from his post in
Asia Minor with the American Commits

Mountains about $780, Armenians that
had sought refuge there. The doctor
said guerrilla warfare existed between
the Turks and the Greeks in the small
villages on the shores OF the Black Sea-
Turks. Greeks and Armenians all want
the United States as mandatory power
and regardless of their racial animosities
they all express good will toward Amer
lea and Americans. The country was
rich and could be made wholly self-sup-
porting in few years II order were
restored. Turkey was showing no dis
position to return the land and homes

COL. WEST GIVES ADVICE
Changes in Ansell Bill to Be
Suggested, but Not q New

CHICAGO, June 10.-The first non-com-
missioned officer to appear before the
committee on military law and courts
martial of the American Bar Association
testified here to-day and at the invita-
ton or 3. s. Gregory, chairman of the
body. promised to have others Of his
rank before the committee either to-mor-
row or Thursday. He was Corporal
Frederic o. Mason OF Battery f, 149th
Field Artillery, the unit Of the Rainbow
Division known as "Reilly's Bucks"
Corporal Mason said the men COM
planned OF delays between accusation
and trial, but when he cited an example
II developed that the man had been ar
rested before the battery moved into an
active sector and furthermore had awaited
the arrival Of a particular officer to
serve as his counsel. Mason said also
the men thought that the association in
onicers' messes of the men who acted
as judges and prosecutors argued that
there was collision between them. He
could not answer the observation Of Mar
tin Conboy OF New York, comnsittee
member, that the counsel for the defence
also associated with brother officers
while trials were I'm progress
Mason followed Col. Eugene r. West,
chief OF the legislative section of the
Judge Acknowledgements Department,
who concluded two days Of lengthy
technical discussion OF proposed statu-
tory changes in military law. Col West
left with the committee a series of
changes which he thought would cure
the Ills that had caused the present in
quiry. emphasizing that these changes
were proposed to affect the army regula-
ton and not the statutes.
Col. West Advises Three Changes,
II would have three principal changes
made said Col West. First, there
should be more complete preliminary
investigation by competent officers. thus
reducing the number of trials by special
and general courts. Second, only thor
oughly competent officers should be de-
tailed to courts-martial, thus insuring
better courts. Third, better counsel
should be assured both the accused and
the Government. With these things &C.
complished there would be no need OF
remedial legislation"
Chairman Gregory asked whether
there should not be a provision except
ing women from the death penalty.

OF Poor Edith Cavell.'" Col. West said
yet l have become rather firmly con-
WINGED that she was subject to her fate
by the usutl laws OF war. Certainly the
French have executed women spies"
Col. West agreed with the chairman
that 1t would be only consistent with
the Anglo-saxon attitude on the Cavell
| case to except women from the death
penalty, but he added:

the same fate as a man Spy Otherwise

RECOMMENDS BOTH
PACT AND LEAGUE
THE PRESIDENT STRONGLY IN
i FAVOR OF FAVORABLE AND
PROMPT ACTION.
new WORLD ORDER ASSURED
Great Peoples WIFI Be Liberated WI.
Have Never Before Been Able to
Find Path to Liberty.

Wash1ngton.-President Wilson -
an address to the American peonIo -
the occasion of the signing of the
peace treaty, made a plea for the ac-
ceptance of the treaty and the cov.-
nant OF the league of nations without
change or reservation.
His message, given out here by Sec.
rotary Tumulty, said:
MY fellow countrymen:
1.-THE treaty Of peace has been sign.
ed. IT 1t is ratified and acted upon in
full and sincere execution of it's terms
it will furnish the charter for a new
order of affairs in the world. It is a
severe treaty in the duties and pen
alties it imposes upon Germany, but II
Is severe only because great wrongs
done by Germany are to be righted
and repaired; it imposes nothing that
Germany cannot do; and she can re-
gain her rightful standing in the world
by the prompt and honorable fulfill
ment of it's terms.
"And it is much more than a treaty
of peace with Germany. 1t liberates
great peoples who have never before
been able to find the way to liberty.
It ends, once for all, an old and in
tolerable order under which small
groups of selfish men could use the
peoples of great empires to serve their
ambition for power and dominion. It
associates the free governments of
the world in a permanent league in
which they are pledged to use their
united power to maintain peace by
maintaining right and justice. It
makes international law a reality sup
ported by imperative sanctions. 1t
does away with the right Of conquest
and rejects the policy of annexation
and substitutes a new order under
which backward neutrality-suspicious.
which have not yet come to political
consciousness and peoples who are
ready for independence, but not yet
quite prepared to dispense with pro-
lection and guidance-shall no more
be subjected to the domination and
exploitation of stronger nation, but
shall be put under the friendly direc-
ton and afforded the helpful assist
anee of governments which undertake
to be responsible for the opinion Of
mankind in the execution of their
task by accepting the direction of the
league Of nations.

AWFUL CHANGE IS.
SEEN IN PETROGRAD
STATE OF TERROR EXISTS IN
FATED CITY AMONG PEOPLE
OF ALL CLASSES.
NO LONGER ANY SOCIAL LIFE
Recent Executions No Longer Consist
Of Ones and Twos But Of Whole
Groups BY Machine Guns.

Helsingfors.-It is hardly possible
to recognize Petrograd owing to the
terrible change within month. Ter
ror has so increased that nobody
speaks in the street, trains or public
places. People only regard one anoth-
er suspiciously, fearing informers. Sol
diers especially avoid prevalence OF
provocators of the red army.
Social life to all intents has ceased
In every house there is only one en-
try, either the front or back door be-
ing silently shut or at whichever is
open a communist sentry is posted.
He demands Of all incomers f1rst-place
identity papers; also their right to
walk in the street, and then questions
as to whom they are going to see, who
lives in the family, what they do, what
is the business of the visitors. If
the answer is satisfactory, they pass
in; if unsatisfactory, they are arrest
ed, taken to the commissariat and
thence to the fortress of Peter and
Paul where they generally are shot
without question.
The recent executions carried out
at Peter and Paul are no longer in
ones and two's but in whole groups
by a special machine gun detachment.
The bodies are mostly thrown in the
Neva.

EXTRACTION OF KAISER
NOT TO BE REQUESTED.

Amtserdam.-The allied and asso'

tradition Of the former German en-
peror, the Paris correspondent of The
TELEGRAPH says he learns, but will ask
the Dutch government in the name OF
the league of nations to see that Herr
Hohenzollern does not escape the
moral consequences.
It is expected that as member OF
the league, he adds, Holland will IN
form the former emperor that he must
appear before an international court
or leave the country. A highly placed
French authority on international law
told the correspondent that the pro-
ceedings against the former emperor
would be on moral grounds and the
sentence would be of moral charac-
ter entirely. There is no question OF
a death sentence or Imprisonment, the
correspondent was told.

Uniform System of Collecting
To Be Adopted June LIST

for the convenience Of those wh0
might prefer to pay at office rather
than to remit by mail. The sub
scriber would have plenty of time
to check up his toll calls and pay at
his convenience any time during the
month. If it is not paid during the
month, the next bill mailed out
will carry the arrears on it. This
second bill, carrying arrears, would
be expected to be paid in full not
later than the 10th of the month
This maximum limit will be 40 DAYS
from the date of the first bill; and
II payment in full is not received by
the expiration of this time the sub.
scriber will be told by the operators
when he calls central that his 'serv.
ice is suspended" Ordinarily toll
message accounts will be carried the
same as local service, as above ex.
planned; but under certain circum.
stances it will be necessary to col.
lect toll messages on demand.
The foregoing plan of collectina
has been found best by those using
it, and is in general use throughout
the whole country. 1t is approved
by the North Carolina Corporation
Commission and the Interstate Cor.
poration Commission.

quest that your account be settled in
full during this month (May).

BEER QUESTION NOT NOW ONE
OF LAW BUT MATTER OF FACT.

Washingtcn.-Conte that no
court may say, as a matter of law,
what percentage Of alcohol in liquor
makes it intoxicating, the judiciary
committee, in a report to the house on
prohibition enforcement legislation de-
clared this was a question of fact and
not law, and as such was clearly with
in the province Of Congress.
The committee held that the right OF
Congress to define Intoxicating Ii
quor" as a beverage containing more
than one-half of one percent alcohol
was in full accord with its constitu-
tional powers, and that every state,
in dealing with alcoholic liquors. had
named products of that percentage as
intoxicating and had either prohibited
use of such liquors or subjected them
to heavy tax.
"To define what is intoxicating does
not trespass on the province of the
court" said the majority report pre-
pared by Chairman Volstead.
