To Extend Town Limits.

Signatures are being secured to a
petition to be presented to Council
asking for an election on the question
of extending the town limits one mile
each way from the centre of town.
The corporate limits at present ex-
tend only one-half mile each way from
the centre Of town. The town is laid
off in a circle. The statutes provide
that separate elections shall be held
in the corporate limits Of the town and
in the area proposed to be annexed a.
which qualified electors shall Tote. A
ma 1ority vote within and without the
town limits will be necessary TO carry
the election. A great majority Of the
voters reside in the eastern suburbs
and it is likely that the election VIII
be held where the voting place WILL be
most convenient to the largest number
of voters. The petition will be present
ed to council as soon as the necessary
of names is secured.

PLAN STREET IMPROVEMENT
Mayor Hamer Considering Ways and
Means of Paving Business
Section.

Mayor Hamer has under considera-
tlon plans for paving the business Sec
ton from Fourth avenue to the Court
House and, from Harrison street TO a
point below the freight station. Sew
enty-flve per cert Of the towns traf-
nc goes over this area and it is diff
ficult to move heavy loads over it in
rainy weather. Mayor Hamer is look
ing into the act passed by the general
assembly five years ago whereby abut-
ting property owners can be assessed
one-half the cost of the improvements.
This law was passed with the idea of
making these improvements but the
war came along and the project was
abandoned. AS soon as he has worked
out the details of the plan Mayor
Hamer will take it up with the prop
erty owners in this district. The price
of concrete and other paving mater
ials shows downward trend and the
opinion is advanced that this may be
the best time to begin the work.
There is no doubling the fact that
these improvements will add greatly
to the appearance of the business dis
trict, and the enhancement in the val
ue of the abutting property should be
many times more than the cost OF the
paving. 1t is an improvement that has
been needed for many years and it is
hoped that Mayor Hamer will sue
ceed in carrying out his plans.

SAYS PEACE TERMS
ARE IMPOSSIBLE.
Mean Nations Death Declares Pres
ident of Austria.

Vienna, Saturday, June THE
peace terms presented to Austria are
impossible and mean the death of the
country by starvation, President SeitI
declared in his address opening the
extraordinary session of the National
Assembly today. The galleries were
filled and the floor contained large
portion of the members of the assem-
bly,, including two women. The ses-
sion was orderly.
Foreign Minister Bauer made re-
port on his conference at Feldkirch
with DR.. Renner, head of the Aus
trian peace delegation. Bauer, who is
not popular either in Vienna or in the
country, and who is generally refer
red to as "Bolshevik," was listened
to quietly while he read siXX pages OF
manuscript.
Gives Vent to Wrath.
After declaring that the treaty was
a piece Of hate, the foreign minister
realized his personal wrath against
the Czechs, who, he said, had taken
all of Austria's sugar and otter in
dustries. The loss of German Bohe-
mia to Austria, he added, meant not
merely the subjection of 3,50OO,OO0
Germans to foreign rule, but the loss
Of the most valuable parts Of German
Austria industrially and agricultural
ly.
Bauer declared that the people OF
the Tyrol, who love freedom above
life, would never submit to the peace
terms, and that they, as well as the
Germans of Bohemia, had the sympa-
thy of all Germans.
German South TyrOl.
He added that several months ago
the Austrian Government had submit
ted to the Italian Government the
draft of treaty under which German
South Tyrol would remain with Aus
tria constitutionally and economically
but as neutral military zone. Dr..
Bauer said he hoped the Italian
Government, which up to this time
had been unable to enter into direct
negotiations, would not refuse to dis
cuss its proposal at st. Germain.
He said there was danger OF an
irredenta movement in German South
Tyrol, remarking that the German
people might hope gradually to win
the friendship of Italy, but it would
be a misfortune to both If the an
nexation Of German South Tyrol pre-
vented this.
Regarding Western Hungary and
the frontiers of Carinthia and Syria.
the foreign minister added, the Aus
trian peace delegation would propose
plebiscites under neutral control.
Austria, he declared, must also
have direct communication with Italy
for commercial reasons.

THE BIG FOUR"
ON ROUGH SEAS
THINGS NOT GOING SMOOTHLY IN
PEACE CONFERENCE CIRCLES
Senator Knox Still Trying to Make
Political Capital Out
of Treaty.

Again come reports from Paris that
all is not going smoothly in the
Council OF Four as regards the def
mite settlement of points under argu-
ment relating to the German peace
treaty.
While it has been asserted that the
final answer of the Allied and asso-
ciated powers to the counter proposals
Of the Germans probably would be
ready for delivery to the Germans at
Versailles not later than Friday Of
this week, late dispatches declare that
some of the larger questions at issue
have not been solved and that consid-
cradle pessimism prevails as a result
of this situation.
Questions Unsolved.
Notable among the points upon
which no agreement has been reached
according to reports is the SilesiaR
question and the matter Of the Polish
western frontier. Added to this is the
implaeable stand of the French Pre-
mier NJ. Clemenceau against any mod
ificatio1s in the peace terms, contrary
to the attitude of President Wilson
anu Premier Lloyd George of Great
Britain, who are declared to have re-
cognized the necessity of lessening
somewhat the demands in certain
clauses of tile treaty, which would not
fundamentally affect the severity Of
the document as whole.
Opposition by Senate.
In accordance with a resolution in
troduced in the United States Senate
the peace conference>at Paris would
be notified of opposition to be offered
to ratification Of the treaty if it should
be submitted to the Senate in its pres
ent form. Senator Philander C.. Knox,
a former Secretary of State, introduc-
ed the resolution, which was submit
ted to the foreign relations commit
tee.

PARDON ASKED FOR

Raleigh News and Observer, June 6.
An appeal was made to Governor

worth of government insurance for
the mother of Forney Williams, eigh-
teen-year- white boy of Robson
county, who, serving a sentence in
the State prison, escaped, joined the
army under an assumed name and
was killed in action in France. The
government declined to pay the in
surance of fugitive.
The proposition was laid before the
Governor yesterday by Mr.. E. Gar

self in the young man. Shortly after
Williams escaped, Mr.. Brown wrote
to the Governor stating the circum-

Governor declined to act then.
Forney Williams was convicted
July, 1914, when he was eighteen
years old for burglary in the second
degree. He was caught in the act and
the evidence was convincing. He en-
tered plea of guilty to the charge
of second degree burglary and Judge
Harry Whedbee sentenced him to fif-
teen years in the State Prison.
He entered the prison July IA, 1915,

MAY ADMIT HUNS TO
AVOID NEW LEAGUE
TALK OF GEMANY AND RUSSIA
FORMING COMBINE
Can Deal With Germany Better In
side the League Than
Out of 1t.

Paris. June 9-The movement to
admit Germany to the league of ma
tions is due mainly 10 the desire to
avoid the possibility of the formation
of another group composed OF rival
powers, which would embrace Ger
many, Russia and the old TeutonIc
group.
Evidences have reached the confer
ence leaders of late that influences
az at work in Germany and Russia
to establish relations as basis for a
combination of powers not in the
league. While not regarded as I'M
minent, it was felt that the danger of
such combination would be always
present while Germany was outside
the league, and the admission of Ger
many therefore was recommended as
a means of subjecting her to the same
obligations as the Allies under the
league of nations.
This sentiment was chiefly instru-
mental in the unanimous decision OF
the British, French, American and
Italian members of the league COM
mittee concerning the conditions on
which Germany may be admitted. One
of the chief authorities said today:
1--WE can deal with Germany better
when inside than outside the league.
Outside she would be able to go her
own way; inside she must conform to
the same obligations as the Allies"
The covenant originally foresaw
Germany's admission on giving "ef-
fective guarantees of her sincere in
tention to observe international OBJ
legations. The recommendation now
submitted to the Council of -Four de-
fine these effective guarantees, name
ly, the establishment of a stable gov
ernment, til: signing of the peace
treaty and Loyalty executing the terms
of the treaty
Tie league covenant also made 1t
conditional of Germany's entrance
that she accept the league restric-
tions of military and naval armam-
ents. 1t was proposed to define this by
specific abolition of compulsory mil
itary service.
M. Clemenceau objected, however,
on the ground that such speciflca-
ton might bring up the whole ques-
ton of compulsory service. 1t was
omitted from the recommendations
sDresented to the council of four.
The council spent the day in exam
ining this and other comittee reports.
Indications were that the reply to the
Germans would be ready before the
end of the week probably Friday,
when five days will be given for Ger
many's final answer with respect to
signing.
