ARE We "SCOOpING THE pool"
Premier's Promise Of indemnities to
Be Kept BY Conference, or "Some
One Has Sold the Pass"

London.-The view that the terms
OF peace with Germany should be set
tied before the organization OF a So
ciety OF nations is dealt with was ex-
pressed in the house OF commons by
Horatio w. Bottomley.
The preliminary treaty, he said.
should be initiated and then submit
ted to the peoples of each country.
Mr.. Bottomley said he was not sure
that IL that were done, President Will
son would find that he spoke with
such absolute authority for the Unit
ed States. He saiG he supposed that
In any case President Wilson on his
return to America would find Amer
lean idealism taking very practical
form in securing food contracts
throughout the world and "scooping
the pool while we are talking about
a league of nations"
IL there had been no disagreement
at the peace conference as had been
said in the kings speech, Mr. Bottom
ley added, then the question of the
freedom Of the seas had gone, the do
minions were to be supreme regard
ing the German colonies and the
premier's promise as to indemnities
were to be carried out. or "some one

even though they think it is bound to

he washed his hands of the Moscow
conference to discuss the acceptance
OF the allies invitation and carefully
kept away from the city.
At the full session OF the Moscow
central soviet, Lenine cried violently
to his critics, ''If you want to conceal
your fears by this childish protest.
you had better leave us. We shall lose
nothing by your going. We and 9TH

freely that our communist plan is go

JAPAN HESiTATEs OVER
THE MANDATORY" PLAN

Paris.-Japan has not yet agreed to
the plan for making her a mandatory
for the Carolina and Marshall islands.
While the other powers have practi-
cally agreed to the mandatory princi-
pie and are willing to accept direc-
ton OF the various German colonies.
Japan desires more complete defini-
tion Of the plan under which the two
groups OF Pacific islands will be en-
trusted to her. and a more complete
statement OF the kind OF information
tional control and supervision which
will obtain under the society of ma
tions plan.

Standardization and unification OF de-
velopment Of the captured German
colonies which would prevent Japan
from giving a distinctly Japanese
character to the Marshall and Caro-
lie islands, the plans would not be ac-
ceptable to Japan. as 1t would hurt
the national pride of her people, the
delegate said.

ANARCHIST REGIME WILDLY
DESCRIBED BY REV. SIMoNS.

Washington.-The bolshevik re.
gime in Russia was described by Rev.
G. A. Simons. In testimony before the
senate committee investigating law
less agitation in the United States, as
minority military dictatorship sup
ported by terrorism. DR.. Simons, who
for many yeats has been head of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Russia,
said most Of the boishevik leaders
were Jews. many from the Eastside
OF New York, and that they had set
aside large sums for the spread Of
their doctrine in all the countries Of
the world. /. w. w. movement in this
country, which the committee has in
cluded in its general inquiry, was
said by DR.. Simons to be Identical
with bolshevists' system.

iNTER-ALLIED FINANCIAL
ALLIANCE is ADVOCATED

Paris.-An inter-allied financial al
lance is strongly advocated by Ed
Mund Therry. the French economist,
in The Figaro. 1t should take the
form OF a special organization, he
says. to receive for Joint account all
sums paid by Germany, Austria Hun.
gary. Bulgaria and Turkey, which it
would transform into liquidation
bonds Ito be distributed among the
allies
Mr.. Therry points out that after the
signing OF peace the richest entente
nations will seek to improve their
monetary situation and consolidate
their financial situation as rapidly as
possible on a gold basis. Such con.
solidation would augment the diff.
culties OF the less favored allies in
converting to gold. sterling dollars or
francs. the claims they recover from
the enemy. on which they count to
pay the debts they have contra ed,
either with the wealthier allies or with
neutrals.

Small Vote In oranaeburo.

Orangeburg.-The result OF the cleo
tion held in Orangeburg county to
choose successor to Representative
w. T.. Derrick. who died about three
weeks ago. has not yet been an
nounced. but from reports thus far re-
ceived 1t is believed that DIR. L w.
Busbee OF Springfield was successful
over his opponent. Swift Tyler. Jr.. OF
North. At number Of precincts in
the county no votes were cast in the
election. which created very little in
terest. In the city of orangeburg less
than 60 citizens voted and it is esti-
mated that the e"tire vote for the

GERMANY ACCEPTS
new CONDITIONS
AVERTs WHAT THREATENED TO
BE SERIOUS SITUATION FOR
ALL PARTIES CONCERNED.
new TERMS ARE WITHHELD
more Important Results are Expect.
ed to Take Form Shortly When
Foeh Returns to Treves.

Paris~Marshal Foch informed the
supreme council OF the acceptance by
the Germans Of the conditions for a
renewal OF the armistice.
Marshal Foch appeared in person
before the council OF the great pow.
ers and announced the acceptance and
the signing by the Germans of the
new conditions Of the armistice.
This averts what promised to be
q rather critical situation, as it had
been reported that the Germans
might persist in carrying out heir in
timations Of refusal to sign.
The new terms. while still withheld.
are understood to restrict German
operations against Poland within Ger.
tain fixed lines, thus removing the
danger ola military clash. and at
the same time op.s..ng access between
the interior Of Poland and the Baltic
sea.
But more important results will
take form shortly when Marshal Foch
returns to Treves for submission of
the details OF the disarmament anu
rehabilitation OF the German forces
which are being formulated by the
military. naval and economic dvis-
ers OF Foch. These are Of a nature
amounting in fact to a preliminary

Dissemination in immigration.

Paris.-The Burgeois proposition
for an inter-allied military force to en-
force peace was defeater by an over
Shelming vote at the meeting of the

OF 26 articles.

TO SETTLE GREAT
PEACE QUESTION
ACCEPTANCE OF NEW TERMS IS
EXPECTED TO cHEckMATE
ANY ACTION az HUNS.
ARE IMPRESSED BY ARGUMENT
Lines Originally Suggested by Brit.
ish Premier Generally Adopted by
the Peace Convention

Paris.-The new armistice condi.
tions will, in effect. settle the most
important OF all the peace questions,
and their acceptance by the enemy.
will. beyond doubt. deprive him Of
any opportunity OF taking blackmail
tactics when the peace treaty comes
to be signed. The fresh conditions
follow generally the lines suggested
by Premier Lloyd George since the
beginning Of the discussion, and it is
wrong to suppose that in this matter
the British have acted as mediators
between extreme French and the ex-
treme American points OF view.
Both the Americans and the French
have been impressed by the argu-
ments brought forward in favor of all
three tendencies which were placed
In their presence and all agreed that
the British scheme was not only less
open to criticism, but the Paris posi-
lively the best proposal made.
The discussion has been extremely
fruitful. and the result has shown the
extreme alarm OF French opinion as
to the American attitude OF no force.
Another good point to remember is
that the action of the British dele
gates has proved once more to the
French that, while the British are ex-
trepely desirous Of retaining their
close friendship with the Americans.
they are imbued with a sense OF con-
tinental responsibilities and alliances
and thus are able to act-between the
old and the new worlds.

The paper is a warm supporter of

The new cry appears to be another
move along the same lines as "Out

ernment has adopted. The proclama-
ton is not worthy, as it admits that

STATES EXPENSES
GROWTH OF TWO ITEMS ALONE
INDICATES A WELL DEFINED
PROGRESSIVE POLICY.
LITTLE SPENT ON FARMERS
Total Value Of Taxable Property Has,
Since 1909. Risen From $271 ,ooo,.
600 to $s7e, 900 900.

Misunderstanding and enlight.
ening information may be had from
survey Of the analysis OF appropria.
ton bills OF each general assembly
from 1909 to 1919, inclusive. This do.
tailed data. has been compiled by w.
L. Walker, clerk OF the senate finance
committee. and is the best presenta.
ton of the expenses Of the state gov
ernment from year to year on record.
Growth of two items from year to
year clearly indicates a well defined.
poicy OF the state in progressive and
substantial development One Of these
items, that for public schools, has
grown from SS5.99l.65 ten years ago
to $564023,95 last year. And the
amount this Year must necessarily be
in excess OF last years figures. in
view OF the steady advancement and
growth OF the public school system
and the enactment of a statewide com
puisory school attendance law.
The appropriation for agricultural
advancement remains remarkably low
although the States wealth is largely
dependent upon agriculture. The
amount appropriated in 1909 for this
purpose was $4,000. The amount last
year was only $4,000 out of a total
tax levy OF $3.333.O0OO.
The taxable property OF the State
has increased from s271, 200. 900 to
more than s376.000 900. The annual
levy has climbed from Ave and one
fn aio
mills, and the total volume of taxes
thus raised increased from S1.s32,-
636.69 to $3,366,S752S.
