PARIS, April 15.-"The mountain is
heaving," says "L'Oeuvre," "leaving the
public to guess whether it will bring
forth a mouse"
Practically all the Paris papers agree
in the statement that accord has been
reached by the Big Four, basing their
confidence on the interview of the
radical Socialist deputation with Prem
ier Clcmenceau, in which the latter
gave assurances that the indispensable
demands Of France have been recog-
nized
LA Victoirc" understands that Dan
zig and Fiume are the only questions
still unsolved and that the comprom sc
reached in regard to the Saar basin
will serve as model for the solution
Of these questions.
Complains Of U. S. Stand
St6phane Lausanne in "Le Matin"
complains bitterly Of American opposi-
tion at the meeting of the commission
on the league of nations which de-
feated two French amendments fixing
the control Of national armaments by
tho league of nations and establishing
Il permanent general star Tor the even
tuality Of rupture Of the pact by
any nation. NJ. Lausanne says that the
Americans urged it would not conform
TO their dignity to have control of ma
tional armaments by the league of ma
tions, adding:
THE Americans do not think it would
be contrary TO the dignity Of France
that examination be made every two
years Of the French administration, but
1T would be contrary to American dig
nifty to examine their reports Of mum
tlons manufacture"
M. Lausanne says that the Americans
are opposed to the creation Of an inter
national general staff because to take
measures against war is TO prepare for
war and to risk bringing it on, adding:
Certain Americans believe that the
very fact Of having n fire brigade and
to plan for extinction of fires would
bring on a blaze"

did not hesitate TO dcfcnt the Japanese

PARIS, April l5.-Over the Adriatic
question, which is being taken up to-
day, the council OF four went into
session At the Presidents mansion
with Alfred J. Bslfour il Lloyd
Georges place, Mr- Wilson presiding
Much of the discussion was left to
Premier Orlando OF Italy who pre-
senteda what is hoped By all
parties to be the final arguments
held or the Adriatic question, and if
President Wilson, to whom France and
England apparently have left the final
decision in the matter, continues this
week in compromising mood, the
question ought not TO delay further
peace sor further TO provoke trouble
along the borders Of Jugo-Slavia and
Italy or to cause Interruptions in food
supplies, SO desperately needed by the
hinterland fed by Trieste and Fiume.
Houses Plan Rejected
1t already has been reported how
Colonel House, during the absence Of
President Wilson in America, endeav-
ored to speed up the conference. and
how after consulting with Mr.. Balfour,
the latter proposed making peace with
Germany before dealing with the other
Central Powers; and how tho Italian
delegation objected. stating that they
woun refuse 10 sign peace with Ger
many unless that with AUSTRIA Hun
gary was arranged simultaneously ly,
pointing out the dangers and the in
tolerable situation in Italy and along
the borders. Because Of statements
made by American delegates, the Ital-
ians persistently believed that PIesi-
dent Wilson favored the Jugo-Slavs,
while the latter persistently felt that
the:r cause was impaired because the
pacs' Of London pledged the Allies to
the support of the Italian claims for
Dalrdatia and the islands, and the him
terland behind cara and Sasenio, e
sides the peninsula Of Istria The
JQgo- Siavs pointed out that the Coun-
ell Of Four stood three for Italy against
one, in the person of President Viii
son, who, they believed, was open

RANSOM is PAID
MEXICAN BANDITS.
John West Thompson Pays Money to
Secure Release of Son, on the
Advice of Carranza Government.

Washington, July 2s.-Acting
upon the advice of the Mexican gov
ernment, John West Thompson, an
American ranchman living near
Mexico City, has paid the 1900 pecos
ransom demanded by bandits for
the release of his 14-year-old son, the
state department was advised today.
The Mexican authorities said they
feared the bandits would murder the
boy unless they received the money.
Young Thompson was captured at
his fathers RI 1ch after the bandits
had disarmed him and taken his
horse. Uurgent representations IN
the matter were made to the Mexl-
can foreign office by the American
embassy at Mexico City.
Secretary Lansing said the Mexl-
can foreign office had agreed to re-
fund the amount of the ransom and
to take measures for the capture ard
punishment of the bandits.
The kidnapping took place last
Thursday at the Thompson ranch, 80
miles form Mexico City, and the boy
was released on Friday.

An earnest effort is being made to
get a permanent record Of every man
who has been in the United States
army or navy from Newberry county.
The county authorities have bought
record books at considerable expense,
and the Red Cross is paying for the
work. This is to urge every man
who has been in the service to send
his discharge papers to Mr.. John C..
Goggans, clerk O. the court, New
berry, S. c., as early as possible.
Mr.. Goggans will become responsible
for these papers and will return them
promptly as soon as they are record
ed.
It is very desirable to have this
record on the part of the county as
future generations will want to
know what part we took in this me-
morable struggle. 1t is equally de-
sirable for the man as the discharge
papers may be lost or destroyed, and

MOST PLAUSIBLE BEAUTY
SEEN IN "AUCTION BLOCK" :"
She is Rubye de Remer and She
Comes From Denver Via
Broadway.
(Bv Harriette Underhill.)

She was born De Remer and christ
ened Rubye, so her name is really
Rubye De Remer, even out in Denver,
where she saw the light of day 20
years before Rex Beach saw her and
asked her to play the lead in his
"Auction Block"-because, ne said,
she was the most beautiful girl ne
ever had seen.
This is a bird's-eye view of the
career of Miss De Remer, of the
"Mid-night Frolic" and the Rex
Beach pictures who a, year ago had
never even seen that magic street
called the Rialto, with the elusive
rainbow at the end of it.
If Miss De Remer's mother had
known just how she would look when
she grew up she probably would have
called her Pearl instead Of Rubye, for
she is divinely tall and, oh, most
divinely fair. She looks as though
she were made of peaches and corn
silk and bits of blue sky and pearls,
all fastened together with crisp pink
icing.
Miss De Remer speaks of her
beauty merely as an accepted fact,
for which she is grateful, but feels
that she deserves no credit. She
seems totally lacking in conceit, IN
spite of the fact that she was selected
to play the part of Lorelei Knight
because she. was conceded to be the
most beautiful girl in New York.

out on point of order.
Ashley C. Tobias, Jr., secretary OF
the committee, called attention to the
amendment to the Australian ballot
law, adopted at the last session Of
the General Assembly when the sys-
tenn was extended from precincts in
incorporated cities to all precincts
having fifty or more voters and re-
quested that the various chairmen of
the county committees send him IN
formation as soon as possible so that
would have no delay in preparing and
sending out the ballots.
Elections Important.
Chairman Evans said that the
Forthcoming elections are very i'm
portant, as the congress of the
United States is in the hands of the
Republican party, and if the Demo-
Gratis of the Sixth and Seventh dis
tricts did not make creditable
showing there would undoubtedly be
contests. He said that he had never
seen more determined effort made
on the part of the Republicans to
! capture the reins of government, and
as an effort toward this end they
have put the most unscrupulous men
in the United States in charge OF
their machinery. He quoted women
of the auxiliary committee of the Ma
tional Democratic Executive Commit
tee, as characterizing Will Hays,
chairman of the National Republican
party, as being a disciple Of Mark
Hanna, who believed that mony could

that these women said that their suf-

President Harrison's Close Shave.
Leslie's.
President Harrison prided him
self on not taking any promises re-
garding office. He flatered him.
sife that in this, at least, there was
not even "the smell of fire upon
his garments" One day there came
in the mail letter from an old
time Indiana friend, Enoch Fuller, Of
! Bloomington, asking for considera-
| tion of his name in connection with
some federal position. He inclosed a
letter written by Harrison when a
member of the senate, in reply to.
one Fuller had then written asking
for some sort of federal office, say
ing that inasmuch as the adminlstra-,
ton was in democratic hands (Mr:
Cleveland was president) he was
not able to do anything for, but ad-
ded: eff the time shall ever come
when it is in my power to do so will
be glad to remember your desire" ."
Mr.. Fuller thought "the time" had
come and so did I. When l
handed Harrison his own letter he
read it and remarked. "That's a
mighty close shave" After the elec-
ton of Hayes "Bob." Burdette, Of
