Bereft. Of Prohibition.

There Is one place that the benefits
of prohibition can be youched for, says
sFrank J. Hail. clerk of the United
States court, and that is in the records
of bankruptcy proceedings. when the
saloon as abolished In Roanoke, there
began at once a decrease In bankruptcy
cases, and this decrease has kept up.
Lynchburg is said to have had the
same experience verified. During two
years when the saloons were out there
were fewer bankruptcy cases: then the
saloon returned and more failures were
recorded. to be followed by decrease
when the entire state turned the saloon
out. when workers save their money
or spend 1t in legitimate business, fall
ures are few. During the months when
the United states was at war with the
central powers petitions in bankruptcy
reached their minimum here.

PARIS. April 2o.--An idea of the
great size and complexity of the peace
treaty is obtainable from considera-
ton of the economic clauses alone,
which fill thirty-six pages of the draft
ing commissions report. The first
chapter, on commercial relations, is
under five heads: CD customs regula-
tions and dues, ca shipping. 60 un-
fair competition, (4) the treatment of
Allied nationals in enemy countries,
(5) miscellaneous.
The second chapter deals with ar
rangements for the renewal or abro-
CATION of economic treaties, interna-
tional fisheries conventions, copyright
conventions, Chinese customs and the
Hague convention; also regulations
amounting to the abrogation with re-
gard to concesso ions obtained by Ger
many from Russia during the war.
Three Chapters on Debt
Chapter three covers the complicated
matter of debts-not public, but pr-
vate-as between nations, of which the
essential point is that there shall not
be any private collection of debts as
between individuals in Allied coun-
tries and debtors in enemy countries
save through clearing house set up
in the respective countries
Chapter 4 deals with private prop-
erty rights and interests. Chapter 5

PROCEEDINGS Secret

PARIS, April 20 (By The Associated
Press Final plans for receiving the
German delegates at Versailles and for
delivering the treaty provide for com
plete secrecy, although an official com
munication Will be issued after the
treaty actually has been delivered an
nouncing this fact. Except for this,
everything will be behind rigidly
guarded doors, with military forces oc-
cupying all the surrounding precincts.
According to the terms Marshal Foch
is said to have received from the sec
retariat general of the conference. the
German plenipo potentiarles are to be
treated as enemies until the treaty is
signed, and any communication with
them Will be subject to prosecution
before court martial on the charge of
dealing with the enemy. The purpose
OF this is said to be to prevent Yer
sailles from being used as q base for
widespread enemy propaganda, but the
rieors of this surveillance probably Will
wear of after the first few days.

Now l ask you the question:" the
letter continues, "is it right that the
working class of one country should
come and fight the working class Of
another country? We are not at war
with Russia and the Russians are not
at war with US, but with the capital
lists Of all the countries, the people
whom we work for and keep in plenty
while we, the working class, merely
exist. If the working class knew why
they were fighting, and for whom they
would refuse to fight any longer.

W hen their representative asked Pre-
micr Clemenceau how they would
know the terms, he replied, "You will
know" but he did not contide how or
when. The British Premier adopted a
system of personal communications
with the Dominion Premiers. This
method satisfied them, but would be
impossible with the eighteen states
whose representatives will know of
the terms only on the eve of their
communication to the Germans.
