republic, which was proclaimed yes
terday in several Rhine cities. The
new government and national assem-
bly, will meet there but the provisional,
government will sit at Weisbaden
Portions Of the proclamation have
been telegraphed to the Echo de
Paris, from Metz, by Maurice Barres
One significant section of it was:
Another passage shows the move
ment not to be separatist, but anti
Prussian. 1t says:
evidence from whatever size must
disappear. The Rheinish people
honestly and sincerely wish peace
based on a reconciliation of all peo-
pies. That is why it separates itself
from the institutions which are the
bases of so many wars, feudalism
and militarism. 1t thereby eliml-
mates an obstacle standing in the
way of a genutne peace"
Mr.. Barres says DR.. Borden, the
president of the new republic, is the
soul of the movement. He is from
Bonn, and before the war was a
magistrate. During the war he was
a German officer.
He is one of those idealist Rhein-
landers who have never been rec
onciled to the subjection Of lle left
bank of the Rhine TO brutal exploit
tatIon by Prussia" Barres writes.
I'VE are in the presence of the re-
appearance of the old Germany with
which our fathers were able to enter
into agreements and sometimes TO
entertain friendship. This happy
event became possible only through
the admirable conduct and political
sense of the allied armies"

Condition uDe to Lack Of STORAGE Fa.
ciites for Last Years Crop
La Fayette, Ga, June 3.-,Special)-
Cotton buyers report that more dam
aged cotton is coming to the market
than ever known. This is caused from
the fact that more cotton was held
over by growers who had not the
proper means of storing it and pro-
damp weather has caused it to mold
and in some cases nearly haly the bale
has TO be discarded as absolutely
worthless. This is causing serious
loss to farmers who were holding for
a higher price, but who had not, the
proper storing facilities. The increase
in the price is insufficient to make ur
for the loss in quantity in most cases.
