LOOSE LEAF FLOORS;
NOT CROWDED MONDAY
Sales to Close Friday-Open
Again Monday, Dec. 70,
For Business.

The cold weather put a check to
the heavy tobacco deliveries on Mor-
day morning as compared with the
deliveries of last week. While there
were over one-half million pounds OF
tobacco on the loose leaf floors, the
market was not as heavily congested
as it has been for the past several
days. Tobacco that is not bulked
down will go out of order. which
will in all probability be for the best
interest of all concerned.
In the eastern division the sale
opened at the Daviess county house
with about 100000 pounds on the
floor. The sale was a good one.

Captured German Colonies Are to
Be Placed Under Interna-
tional Control.
WILSON'S PLAN IS ADOPTED
British Dominions Protest in Vain
Manufactures of League of Ma.
tons Will Rule the Territories
Little Progress With
Russian Problem.
BY EDWARD w. PIcKARD.

Germany's lost colonies occupied
much of the time and attention of the
peace delegates last week, and the
result of their deliberations apparently
was that those colonies, and probably
some of the territories that are to be
Topped off the Turkish empire, are to
be internationalized by being intrusted
to governments designated as "manda-
tories" by the league of nations. These
manufactures presumably will have a
certain liberty of action in executing
their control of the colonies, and the
league, it is supposed, will enforce, by
safeguards a system very similar in
effect to the British colonial admins
tratiOn.
This disposition of the former Ger
man possessions, if it Is finally ac-
cepted by the peace conference, will
prove another triumph for President
Wilson, for while he has yielded some
what in compromise, 1t is mainly his
idea. The British imperial cabinet ac-
cepted his theory, despite the strenu-
cus objections of the representatives
of the British dominions, and the adj
hesion Of France also was announced.
Japan was not very well pleased, and
neither was Italy.
In another way this decision, If
made, vindicates Mr. Wilson's ideas,
for it is admitted that the creation and
maintenance of the league of nations
is necessary to carry out the colonial
plan, and the president asserts that,
inasmuch as the league was unani-
mously agreed to, 1t is necessary to
turn the colonies over to the league UNI
der the protectorate of the nations best
fitted to hold them.

The question of the German colonies
developed the most serious diplomatic
contest the conference has engaged In,
and at the time of writing the end of
the fight was not In sight. Those colo
MES were Germany's greatest asset,
and some of the allied nations had
counted on them to make up in part
their immense financial expenditures
in the war. Secret agreements had
been entered into giving Australia and
New Zealand the German possessions
south of the equator and giving Japan
the Caroline and Marshall islands. De
spite the action of the British imperial
war cabinet In London, the British del
egates TO the conference were dis
posed to stand by these agreements.

one important point concerning pay
ment by Germany is reported TO have
been settled by the peace conference.
Ii was decided that while Germany
must make full reparation for unjuSti-
fable damage done, she and her asso-
clates will not be called on to pay
heavy indemnities to reimburse the vic
torious nations for their war expenses.
Nor will Germany be compelled to re-
linquish the indemnity she took from
France in 1871. Belgium's reparation
claims will have first consideration,
and perhaps those of Serbia will come
next.

Diplomatically Russian matters
were at standstill, awaiting replies
to the invitation to a conference of all
factions on the Princes islands in the
Sea Of MarmOra The bolshevlki or
cans rather resented that plan, for
they asserted the bolsheyiki were
gaining victories in the field that en-
titled them to more recognition. The
representatives in Paris of the other
factions continued in their attitude Of
passive opposition to the conference,
and General Miller, head of the north
Russia government in the absence of
President Tschaikovsky, stated that 1t
Is not only inadvisabe to hold any par
ley with the bolsheviki, but it would be
physically impossible for the represen-
tatives Of north Russia to reach the
Princes islands by February Is with
out passing through bolshevik terri
tory. which he considered impossible.
The Omsk government insisted that
the campaign against the bolsheviki
must be pushed vigorously.
The claims of the bolshevikl to vic
tory in the field were not without
foundation. In the Archangel region
they have forced the American and AL
lied troops 10 withdraw quite dis
lance from their advanced positions,
and they have driven General Dutoff
out of the important city Of orenburg
on the Ural river. on the other hand,
they lost Saranpol, province of To-
bolsk, to the Slberians and are report
