GERMAN ENJOYS
ANSWER ALLIES
COUNT Won RANTZAU SAYS 1T is
AN ImPossIBILITY TO CAR
ny OUT PEACE TERMS
WILL AGREE ON PREPARATION
Germans Assert That Burdens Allies
Would Impose Are Mere Than
People Can Bear

MISUNDERSTANDING, although re.
aliZing that she must make sacrifices
TO obtain peace, is convinced that the
executions of the peace treaty as now
drawn ARE more than the German
people can bear"
Count Won Brockdorff-Ran the
head of the German peace delegation,
/ thus sums up the attitude of the Ger
man nation towards the proposed
treaty of peace in a note to the allied
and associated powers, outlining vari-
Gus German counter proposals.
Count Won Rantzau asserts that the
more deeply we penetrate into the
spirit of this treaty, the more con-
WINGED we become of the impossibility
OF carrying it out"
The German note, delivered to Pre-
mier Clemenceau, president of the
peace conference, has been made
public by the state department.
The German delegation nowhere in
its note asserts that it will refuse to
sign the present treaty, but declares
on behalf of the German nation that
/
| sacred a thing to allow her to stoop
to achieve conditions which she can
not undertake to carry out"
Exclusion Of Germany from the
league of nations, the note asserts,
means that in signing the peace treaty /
Germany would be executing a de |
cree for its own prescription, nay, it's |
own death sentence"
The German people, the note says,
have been disappointed in their hope
,or peace of justice which had been
promised" and stand "aghast" at the
made upon them by the vic
oriOus violence Of our enemies"
Outlining its counter proposals, the
German delegation agrees to reduc-
ion of Germany's army and navy on
that Germany be admitted
to the league of nations;
0 renounce Germany's sovereign
lights in Alsace-Lorraine and Posen,
ut as to all other territories which
is called upon to give up, the
rinciple Of self-determination, effect
re at once, is asked; to subject all :

New Orleans, Aug. 20. The Merchant Trade Index, City.

Nt CA4 o4O III
 With rice selling in the open market, under competitive bids, above SIS a barrel, a new high range of value for commercial rice has been established. It is true that the first lot of rice that came to this market, consigned to s. L. Breaux was auctioned by him and bought by the Leona Rice Mill at S15, but it is reeog- nized that advertisement more ~than value is the consideration in the trading. The psychology IS that the L9oua rice mill fur. nish those to whom they sell with the first sample of the new milled rice of the season, and as the entire shipment was only about thirty barrels even had the entire amount been spent as an advertisement proposition, it would have paid at that. As II is this first rice, raised by the way by Mr Eraste Mouton in the vi- cinity of AbbevilIe, on a planta- tion owned by A. M. Smith & Go. of kaplan, is very pretty qual ity of milling goods, and on it's merits gave a good yield and showed pretty sample and sep aration in the milling.
 With the era of high prices and disturbed conditions exist ing everywhere. referring now to labor and meaning as well in dustrials. when we speak IF terms of dollars we really don't know what it means. Money has lost it's value and sits itself back to the old principle of being only token, and it is only worth so much as 1t will buy. Fer in stance, a dollar normally could buy 20lbs. of edible rice, today it takes s2.50 to buy 20 los. of edible rice. and u really takes s to buy 20 lbs. of a choice article. Incidentally the labor that you buy to produce that rice costs about three times what il did when rice was at 54. and one of the phrases of human nature is less efficiency in labor for that | three times the pay, that 1t was | when 1t was only getting a third | of the money. The Slow Drag is being put in effect. and that does not mean as a dance but it means as a way of doing things. it is 8 lazy habit as to work, cas- fly acquired. and somehow the remedy is not to pay more to get 1t corrected. o. the contrary the more you pay the greater the Slow Drag.
