The fact that several thousand eol- Aiers were unable to understand the orders given them from their superiors and that many, many thousands could not sign their own names to their Questionnaires brought to light 6 con- dition 60 serious that two Southern Representatives at Washington are now introducing bills to promote the education of illiteratss throughout the lsngth and breadth of America. SenA- tor Hoke Smith of Georgia, has intro duced . bill in the Senate ito promote the education of illiteratss. of persons lsh language, and other resident per sons of foreign birth." and the same measure has been introduced in tho Mouse by Hon William B. Bankhsad. 0f Alabama.
 The introduction of this important bau means a great deal to the South, which, because of it's negroes and mountain whites, has long borne 8 reputation for illiteraoy out of propor- ton to that of the rest of the coun- try Just what steps will bs immedi- Ately taken as the result of the passage of the education oi illiterates bill at Washington cannot be stated at this time, but. certainly. practical meas ures will be put into operation for the listricts and cities.
 Other organizations besides that of the government are at work on the same problem-the establishment Of schools in tho heart of tenement dis tricts and rural communities being . matter of first importance with all of them One of the most significant movements of the times in this con nection is that of the Centenary of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, because that denomination will expend within the next five years over 93, ,000, 900 among the uneducated classes in the Southern and Western States The church is to raise & fund of S35, 900, 900 in an eight-day drive In April. the financial campaign being part of the Centenary Celebration of the denomination. The money Is be- ins raised with view to putting the work Of the church on business basis, the church considering it's duty to the illiterates here In America to Dc among the matters of first importance which 1t should undertake A survey has been made and the result of the campaign will be the apportionment of ca. 900 900 among the various illiterats population ss follows: Mountain pop ulation. $75V. 900 immigrant, tsoo,ooo; negroes, $500 900; Indians, sloo o0o; cotton mill population, slS0 .ooO; Chris tian literature for all of them. s1e0.ooe

Leon Bourgeois. for France, renewed
two amendments tending to give France
additional security. one provided for
the creation OF a committee TO ascer-
tain and exchange military and naval
programmes Information regarding arm
aments and similar matters. The other
provided for "a permanent organization
for the purpose OF considering and pro-
vlding for naval and military measures
TO enforce obligations arising for the
high contracting parties under tho COW
cnart, making II Immediately operative
in al cases OF emergency"
NJ. Bourgeois argued that such secur-
ty WAS essential to France because OF
the extended frontiers of that country,
which, as President Wilson had de-
clarcd, in the French Senate. were the
frontiers OF the worlds liberties.
The amendments OF NJ Bourgeois. rep
resenting France, were not pressed. NJ.
Clemenceau then put the question OF the
adoption OF President Wilson's motion.
which prevailed without n formal vote.
The covenant was declared adopted,
and the session proceeded to the labor
report, reciting nine principles for in
cluslon in the treaty, which also were
accepted.
After setting aside the report on war
responsibilities for later consideration
the session adjourned.
