LESSON FOR HUMAN BEINGS
World Might Be Better If Mankind
Would Copy the Doinas of the
Honey Ant.

An interesting resident Of central
Australia is the honey ant This In
sect is found in dugouts going down
as far as five or six feet. The open
ing is small, about an inch across, but
If you dig out one of the nests you will
find tunnels and crosscuts running
from the main shaft. In one or more
of these chambers is found the true
honey ant. The ordinary workers run
the show as cooperative concern.
They collect the honey, bring it to
the nest, and there feed it to certain
members of the clan. The sweet stuff
is forced into these animated pantries
until the abdomen becomes so large
that the remainder of the ant is fly
speck on it. The swollen ones are abb
solutely helpless, and have to remain
In the chambers. When the honey
season slackens off the community
falls back on their cold-stor1ge supply
A prod in the abdomen the honey
ant, and that patient servant of the
camp disgorges his accumulated fod-
der and once more resumes normal
proportions.

GERMANS BIG HOWL
COUNTRY Slapped TO THE LIMIT,
SAYS EBERT.
Allies Warned by Chancellor as End
of Revolt Frees His
Hands.

Berlin, Jan. 16.-"Our hands are
now free to take up the great task up
on the Accomplishment of which the
fate of the young German republic de-
dends," said Friedrich Ebert, the Ger
man chancellor.
His statement comes at the end of
weeks terrific struggle, marked by
indescribable bloodshed, In which the
Ebert government-from the way it
looks today, at least-stood the acid
test. Doctor Ebert continued:
by our acceptance of President
Wilson's IA points we already sue
cumbed to painful decisions regarding
the future of our country, What has
been lost by those decisions we can
write on the debit account of kaiser
ism. But beyond these losses the Ger
man republic cannot and will not con-
sent to further diminution of our
national entity.
I'VE, therefore, must endeavor to
fend off any prejudicial actions af-
fecting the final peace treaty actions
such as the Poles are attempting
against us. We must maintain the viii,
sonian basis at all costs in the peace
conference"

Washington, Jan. 16.-Federil own
ership, operation or regulation of pub
lie and semipublic utilities was recon-
mended in the report of the committee
on reconstruction of the American
Federation of Labor, made public aft
er its approval by the federation's ex-
ecutive council.
Government ownership of all
wharves and docks. federal legislation
to prevent child labor and equality in
pay for men and moman workers also
were urged.
The committee opposed the forma-
ton of labor political party, on the
ground that "the disastrous expert
ence of organized labor in America
with political parties of its own amply
justified the American Federation of
Labor's nonpartisan political policy"

MUST PROTECT GOLD
NEW ARMlsTIcE TERMS ARE
GIVEN TO GERMANS.
Also includes Restoration of the Ma
chinery and Goods Stolen
From Belgium.

London, Jan. 16.-The new armistice
terms TO be presented to Germany by
Marshal Foch are unoficially stated
here to include the following
i. Relhbution upon the Germans for
the murder and Ill treatment of allied
prisoners.
.. The machinery and goods stolen
by Germany from France and Belgium
to be at once given up. 1t is pointed
out that France alone has 100000 men
who will be out of work until this ma
chinery Is returned.
3. German gold, amounting to more
than $100,000,000 to be moved from
Berlin to a safe place. probably Frank
fort, and protected from bolshevism in
Germany en- route. Certain other pro-
erty to be surrendered.
T. Germany to give over her ship
ping, of which she is believed to have
100000 tons, to carry food supplies

them.
3. Any U-boats on the stocks to be

or to be destroyed, and no more sub
marines should be built.
Commenting on the unofficial report
that the new armistice terms with Ger
many require the destruction of Ger
man submarines now in course of con-
struction, the Daily Mail characterizes
this condition as vital one.
"Some 10 boats have been discov-
cred on hand at German yards" says
the newspaper, "and these must obvi-
ously be dealt with. Mankind would
not be safe If they we're left in Ger
man hands intact. We may hope. how
ever, that the peace conference win
forbid submarine war and submarine
construction in future.
Submarines are valuelesse for com
mercial work and are capable of such
criminal use in war that they ought
not to be tolerated. The British navy
has provided appliances which rob
them of their sting, and British sub
marines are by far the most powerful
in the world. Nevertheless, the sub
marine ought to be banned"

BRITlSHER BACKS PRESIDENT
Declares Woodrow Wilson Only Man
at Peace Conference With Fair
and Open Mind.

London, Jan. 16.-" Cards on the
table NO secret diplomacy, Every
thing above board those things
sounded splendid in advance of the
peace conferences, but there is moth
ing doing along those lines, as you
Americans say"
Thus spoke an up-to-date British POI
litical sportsman. He had just re-
turned from Paris Asked to be more
explicit, he replied: "It isn't being
done, old chap, because it's unpracti-
cal. In my belief there is only one abb
solately fair and open-minded man
among the delegates of all the coun-
tries.
Asked if he. referred to Clemenceau,
he replied in the negative.
Lloyd Georgey
NO"
Then he replied mo" successfully
to the mention of the names Of Bal
four, Bonar Law. Barnes, Orlando and
others.
Finally asked If he thought the
peace conference reproduced a situa-
ton like that of Ali Bahia among the 40
thieves. He reckoned it did.
And who's your Ali Baba?"
Woodrow Wilson, president of the
United States of America" was the
emphatic answer. Gle, from my OBJ
servarion, is the only man in the whole
conference who could be the stakehold-
er of any bet of NINE"

Terror Ends in Berlin.
Berlins long week of bolshevism
Is finally ended. Here and there, scat
tered desperadcs, mostly youths, still
fire occasionally from some housetop
and during the night attempts are
made by small bands of the followers
of DIR. Karl Liebknecht to revive the
reign of terror. They are insignificant,
however, compared with what has
passed.
Doctor Liebknecht's sister has been
arrested and several hundred rebels
IRE locked up awaiting trial, which
must be left TO the regular courts.
Many "Reds" Killed.
Losses inflicted on each side during
the last week are as yet estimated
only roughly, but it is believed that
they will greatly exceed 200 dead and
1000 wounded. The overwhelming ma
jority Of these are bolshevists.
The reinstatement and arming of
the police gives the government new
force of trained men who know the
criminal world and whose absence DUR
ing the first Gays of the revolution
gave the disorderly element a free
hand. Police records including those
of the Bertillon system, were not de-
stroyed as was first reported. Detec-
tives are already rounding up old ac-
quaintances and the work of disarming
lawless elements is proceeding.
Property Losses Heavy.
Property losses during the week of
terror amount to tens of millions of
marks. In addition to the damage to
newspaper plants and government
buildings, merchants losses through
looting are very high, one youth being
captured with G0OO0 marks worth of
jewels which he had stolen. In some

COLUMBIA MAY LOSE CAMP

District Attorney Weston, who has
been directed by the department of
justice with the authorities at Camp
Jackson in procuring the fee by pur-
chase to the lands desired for the
permanent camp, has had filed with
him complaints against a number of
land owners in the proposed area as
to the cxorbitant values placed on
their lands. Mr.. Weston said yes
tcrday: "As much as ! regret it,
have felt constrained to forward this
communication to the attorney gen
eral Of the United States and regret
TO say that am compelled to corcur
in the opinion of the agent entrusted
with the purchasing Of thi, land that
the government is being asked To pay
sums far out Of proportion to the
value Of the land"
Mr.. Weston says that it becomes
his duty 20 send to the authorities at
Washington the values at which the
lands to be bought are returned for
taxation VaIucS are camparcu WIN
$50 to 500 an acre which some own
crs are asking the proposition be-
comes ridiculous.
Mr.. Weston says that while he will
be glad to see ali property owners
get liberal prices for their lands, he
feels it nothing but his duty to speak
plainly on the subject.
He called attention to the fact that
unless this property is paid for out
Of the money now available, the camp
will be lost, for certainly, he says
the Republicans who have come into
power will not make any appropria-
lions to buy lands here, and all funds
not paid out Of the present appro-
priations revert to the general treas
ury June 30. SO unless the lands
are bought and paid for before June
30, they will not be bought at all,
in his opinion, and there will be no

He says that he fees it his duty to
publish these lac 1T this time 40 in

shall have been given.-Thc State

ALLIES REPLY TO COMPLAINT
MADE BY GERMANS

Paris A reply by the allied and
associated governments to the Ger
man note protesting against the eco
nomic terms Of the peace treaty as
being calculated to cause the Indus
trial ruin of Germany has been de
livcrcd to the German peace plcnipo-
tcntiarics.
The reply is under II heads and
answers each German contention. Il
declares that the allied and associated
governments in framing the economic
terms chad no intention to destroy
Gcrmany's economic life"
On the contrary the report points
out that in the rcconstruction Of the
worlds affairs Germany will have her
part in the progressive development
but also will share with the rest Of
disadvantages inevitably resulting
from the war.
The reply points out that the Ger
man note fails to take into consider
Of Germany and the end Of militar-
ism will relieve the German people Of
an immense burden Of taxation and
return to the ranks Of useful produc-
ton millions Of men formerly in the
army who have been entirely with
drawn from Industrial or agricul-
tural activity.
The reply also makes an emphatic
rejOinder to the German complaint
that the loss Of the German merchant
marine will throw out Of work thous-
ands Of German merchant Scamen.
The allies answer is that the dcstruc-
ton Of merchant ships, chiefly by
German submarines, has had the un-
fortunate effect Of limiting the oppor-
tunities for work Of scamen through
out the world, the allied powers be-
ing the greatest sufferers. It adds
that there clearly is no reason why
Germany should be exempted from
it's share Of the economic disadvant-
ages growing out Of this destruction
Of merchant shipy.
The reply on the economic objec-
tions is regarded as one Of the best
documents in the exchange Of notes.
Many persons attribute 1t to Presi-
dent Wilson.

$2ls,ooo.OO FOR NITRATEs

Farmers of Chesterfield county
have spent for Nitrate of Soda
during the past few months, through
the government agent, Mr.. w. p.
Odom, the sum of 100000.
Here is dead loss of nearly a
quarter of a million dollars to Ches-
terfield county. 1t is an unnecessary
loss because practically all farmers
now know and are familiar with the
nitrogen-producing plans, that if only
given chance, will draw nitrogen
from the air and store it up in the
ground in unlimited quantities, i'm
proving the soil in other ways at the
same time.
How can we ever get ahead fnan-
cially while squandering money in
this fashion-in four years time pay
ing out million dollars for one item
alone, just because it comes done up
in sacks, when it can be produced for
nothing on ones farm?

HOPEFUL COTTON PROSPECT

A cotton export corporation has
been organized in New Orleans, capi.
talized at $1OO,OOO,OOO.O 1t prom.
ises to be great boon to cotton grow
ers. 1t will finance cotton, raw and
manufactured, intended for export
will buy or charter ships and arrange
for transportation of cotton to
Europe. 1t will construct and oper-
ate warehouses, buy and sell cotton
for export.
If properly managed, this new pro-
ject seems to offer some hope for u
good price for the South's great
staple. That Europe will require i'm
mense supplies of cotton for her fac
tories, and ever increasing supplies
after peace is made, seems very re-
asonable conclusion.
That there is u good time coming
is further indicated by another cir
cumstance that has recently been
made public. 1t is that Italy, France
and Norway are anxious to place con-
tracts for three million tons Of ship
ping. The demand for our cotton,
food stuffs and other supplies, from
Europe will grow immensely, the fig
ures mentioned being only begin
ming.
