been the ease had Germany been vic
torious.
1T has been repeatedly stated that
the Holy See was making efforts 70
obtain a seat at the conference, but
the truth is nothing was fuEther from
out thoughts. Monsiguor Cerretti,
who is now in Paris. was merely en-
trusted by the Holy Father with the
task of trying to save hourishing
German missions in Africa and Aus
tralia.
Several religious orders have been
founded by Germany in Australia
with the sole object Of evangelizing
and civilizing heather populations
The results have been excellent. and
1t would be pity were such good
seed sown in vain. We hope ana
believe that President Wilson and
his colIegeaues understand the ad-
visibility of not wrecking this work
of Christian love and sacrifice.
"Cerretti was selected, because he
represented the Holy See in the
United States, where he was not only
acquainted with President Wilson,
but was a distinguished diplomat"
Opposed To ZlOnism.
Cardinal Gaspari would not COM
ment upon the general results OF the
peace conference, but discussing the
question OF the Holy Land, he said:
'.Zionism does not meet with the
approval OF the Holy See. From the
Catholic viewpoint, after the crusades
preached by the pontiffs to rescue the
Sepulchre from the Turks, the church
today could not assent to handing it
over to Judea. Whether 1t is desir-
able to grant France a protectorate
over the Catholics in the East de-
ponds solely upon what the confer
ence decides with reference to the
capitulations by the Ottoman Empire.
If this is abolished, then France viii
have no further rights TO the protec-
torate which would revert By law
to the Holy See"
Cardinal Gasparri does not believe
that Bolshevism will last.

ALLIES HAD OVER TWO
MEN TO ENEMY'S ONE
Central Powers Had 1920. 600
Troops November If While
Allies Had 1900, 900.

Washington, April 1O.-The cen
trail powers faced odds of greater
than two to one in modified troops
when Germany gave up the fight last
November. The estimated aggregate
strength of the enemy powers at
that time, according to officia, esti-
mates made public by General March
chief Of STAFF, was 7.63O.OOO. The
indicated aggregate allied strength
on the date was more than 16,7OO,-
900.
This situation is disclosed in the
figures received by the war depart
ment from France, giving the pres
ent status of the belligerent armies.
They show that the central powers
on March l had under arms 1.125.-
600 men, while the allied forces ag-
gregated 13,366,OOO.
Following is General March 3
statement:
I'VE have received from France
some rather interesting figures about
the demobilization OF the central
powers and the rehabilitation OF the
entire allied forces to include Feb
ruary. The rehabilitation has been
going on. OF course. since then. but
the figures show what has been hap
pening over there. The central pow
ers' figures are:
Estimated strength November
IL: Bulgaria. 100000: Germany.
4.5Oo .OOo Turkey. 100000; Aus
tria, 2,23O,OOO.
"By February this was reduced
to: Bulgaria. $4,000; Germany,
100000; Turkey, 10000; Austria
100000.
THE total force OF the central
powers on November II was esti-
mated at 100000. This had been
reduced to include February to =
$4,000, or to Is per cent Of their
strength On the same day on which
the allied forces was 1886 900. or
rs per cent OF the strength which
they had on November IL"
Turning to rehabilitation OF the
American army, General March said
that the second anniversary OF the
entrance of the United States into
the world war. found the restoration
OF American manhood to civil life
more than 40 per cent complete On
returns up to April / the army had
been reduced to an aggregate
strength of 2,055,71S.

REACH AGREEMENT ON
AMOUNT OF INDEMNITY
Compromises Effected on All De.
batablc Points Regarding sum
to BE Paid at Once.

Paris, April 1O.-The council OF
four on Saturday reached an agree
ment on the principles OF the in
IDENTITIES and reparations to be paid
by Germany and examination of the
details will begin immediately, the
newspapers say. II is not believed
there will be any disagreement as to
details, and it is indicated that the
text of the financial terms will be
finished during the week.
The Echo de Paris says that com
promises were affected on all debat-
able points regarding the sum to be
paid at once by Germany and the
payments in the future. Against
the opposition of the French gov
ernment, II was agreed, the paper
says, to distribute the future pay
ments over a term of 90 years. The
payments for the next few years
were fixed
The Journal says there are indi-
cations that the rights OF France and
Belgium TO prior consideration in the
payments by Germany have been re-
cOgnized. The first German payment.
il says, will be 25O.OOO.O0O 900
francs, of which 100000. 900 will
go to pay or raw materials to in
sure the resumption of German eco
nOmic life. France will get 10000
100000 francs and Belgium 5000
100000 of the first payment The
rest Of the indemnify, the paper
says, will run over period of 35
years
Plans for continued occupation OF
abandoned and the allies will depend
upon an economic blockade as the
means OF pressure on Germany.
Final agreement on the Rhine and
4 before the end OF the week, it is
added.
Increased optimism in diplomatic
circles is noted by the press, while
in editorials the newspapers express
satisfaction over the progress made
in questions OF reparatiOn and in
dcmnitv II is pointed out that each
day of delay in reaching a final
agreement adds to the loss to
France.
The favorable solution of the Dan
zig question is commented upon in
complimentary terms The mora
and political advantages Of the
agreement are emphasized by the pa.

But This is Necessary, Chair
man Wannamaker Says, to
Prevent Calamity to the Cot
ton Producers of the South.

Columbia, S. c., April 10.
Skottowe Wannamaker. chairman
of the South Carolina Cotton asso-
citation, yesterday received COPY OF
the telegram sent by Governor Hen
ry Allen, OF Kansas, to Attorney
General a. Mitchell Palmer charging
that the cotton acreage reduction
movement is in violation of the fed
eral law. The telegram follows in
full:
Il have expressed the view in a
telegram to j. S. Wannamaker-
chairman of the South Carolina
Cotton association. that the combin-
alton for acreage reduction Of cot
ton and holding of present supply
now being organized in many states
OF the south is in violation Of feder-
al laws which in my Judgment are
being violated by this combination
From circulars sent out by the or
ganizers supporting this combina-
ton, | learn that the organization is
composed not alone of cotton grow
ers, but bankers, cotton spectators
and business men. Their purpose is
TO raise the price OF cotton, which
they are now holding and also to
permanently raise the price of cot
ton in the future. This is definite
ly expressed in their circulars and
appears to be not alone in the inter-
est of the southern farmers, but OF
possibly securing a corner in the cot
ton now on hand against the time
of the lifting of the embargo. You
OF course, know OF the anti-mOnop-
oply act OF July 2, 1890. which de-
clares every contract combination in
the form of trust or otherwise OR
conspiracy in restraint OF trade or
commerce is hereby declared to be,
illegal and every person who shall
monopoliZe or attempt to monopolize
or combine or conspiro with another
person or persons to monOpolize any
