" ashington Doubts Story
Nippon Policy Is Declared
To Be Opposed to Any In
terventiOn in Russ STA

VLADIv0sToK, Feb. BY The
Canadian Press Reports from Omsk
state the Russian government there
has accepted an offer from Japan of
men, money and arms to settle the
Bolshevik difficulty.
This step, it is stated, is due to re-
ports that the Allies are to withdraw
their forces from Siberia and also to
fear that the conference at the
Princes Islands will result in recogni-
ton of the Bolsheviki.
In return for the aid she is to give,
the reports state, Japan will secure an
iron and coal concession in the Pria-
muir district

Japan is taking advantage of the
Chinese New Year holidays when all
official business is suspended, to at
tempt to browbeat the Chinese govern
ment into instructing the peace dele
gates to refrain from raising incon
venient questions regarding the
twenty-one demands and Using Tau.
at appears that on January 81
Japan made serious threats, which are
said to have included d military DEM
onstration and permanent occupation
of Shantung unless China abandons her
exposure of Japan's doings in the Far
East during the war. The Chinese
government would be very foolish if it
yields to bluff of this character.
Japan Blamed for Morphine
"What the extension of Japanese in
huence in China would mean was re
Gently strikingly revealed by the SEN
sational disclosures regarding the de-
bauching of China by the morphine
traffic, in which half of the Japanese in
Northern China are reported 20 be
engaged.
"Japan's attitude toward China con-
cerning the peace conference has
caused amazement here. 1t is asked
how japan can seriously expect ad-
mission to the league of nations on a
mandate from the powers regarding
the Pacific islands if she pursues this
medieval policy.
"Unfortunately, certain highly placed
Chinese officials, corrupted by Japanese
gold, are disposed TO listen to anything
She suggests. The press, however
points out that Japan's action is a
supreme piece Of bluff; that any Chi
nese yielding to it should be stigmatized
as a coward and traitor, and that the
future of Tsing-tau and Shantung is
no longer matter within Japan
province to settle but a question fol-

Rumors of Withdrawal Heard

Vladivostok report under date of
January 27, received by The Canadian
Press, said all parties in Siberia were
alarmed over rumors that the Allied
forces in Siberia would withdraw in
the spring or summer There has been
no official statement on this subject
from any of the governments con-
cerned.
The Omsk government is headed by
Admiral Kolchak and holds sway over
a great part of Siberia and the eastern
part of European Russia. 1t has car
ried on an active campaign against the
Bolsheviki. Representatives. of the
Omsk government have declared
against attending the conference at the
Princes Islands.
Japanese forces are included in the
Allied expedition in Siberia, which is
under the supreme command os Jap
anese general. The Priamur district
probably is the southern part Of the
Amur province, where there are large

GOOCH FARM BRINGS
OVER 5000 PER ACRE
KNOCKED OFF TO MILLER AND
JUSTICE AT PUBLIC AUCTION
FOR $40, $50.

The c. NJ. Gooch farm, located neal
Spring Hill VAS sold this morning al
public auction for $40,150 to A. H. Mil
Ter of Dickson, Tenn, and A. S. JUS
tice, of Camden, Tenn. The farm cont
tains about 200 acres and has one of
the handsOmest residences in the
county on it, The sale was put on by
w. w. Dillon & Co., of Nashville.
Mr. Miller is a director in the bank
at Dickson, and Mr. Justice is cashier
of one of the banks at Camden, and it
is understood that Mr.. Miller will
move to the place and make his home
This afternoon the farming imple-
ments, live stock, feed, ETC., are being
sold at auction and the bidding is re-
ported to be spirited. There were
only four real bidders for the farm
this morning which finally dwindled
down to two.
This is one of the best farms in the
county, and the price paid, fraction
over 5000 per acre, is just an idea of
what farm lands in this county will
eventually be.

Exhibiting their prOwess In the air
and adding thrills to the Victory Loan
drive being made here today, Lieuts.
Wilbur and Ferguson reached Column
bia this afternoon at 1910 o'clock in
two army airplanes in which they
made several, spectacular flights over
the city. Each machine made a per,
feet landing on the Gray field, three
miles out on the Mt. Pleasant pike,
where they were met by Chairman
Geo. E. McKennon of the Victory Loan
committee, who was passenger in
one of the machines this afternoon.
The aviators made the fight from
Murfreesboro to Columgia in one hour
against strong wind. They ap-
preached this city at high altitude
and performed a few simple stunts
over the city before going to the land
ing field Que machine flew low as he
circled the dome of the court house
! and sped out West Seventh street.
They found the Gray field a perfect
landing field and experienced no diff
ficulty in getting off.
Chairman McKennon stated at noon
that the loan drive was "going good
but that only one community had re-
ported for the days work, Hampshire
in the 10th district being the first to
go-over the top with its quota of &c.
500.
Reports from all committees will be
made this afternoon and tonight with
the probability that the days total will
show full subscription or close to
the county's quota.
In Columbia the workers were en-
gagged throughout the day in house
to house solicitation and were meeting
with great success.

UNLAWFUL NOW TO
CATCH CERTAIN Fish
CLOSED SEASON ON TROUT,
BLACK BASS, AND cRoPPlE
UNTIL JUNE IS.
(Tuesday's Daily Herald.)

The following article appeared in
the Sunday edition of the Nashville
Banner and applies to the entire state,
therefore, it behooves all officers and
law abiding citizens to look out for
and report all infractions of this
wholesome section of the state fish
and game laws
"Under the present game and fish
laws, it is unlawful to take brook
trout, rainbow trout, blackbass (some-
times called trout, croppie and black
perch during the period from May to
June Is. These are denominated game
fishes, and all other fishes may be
taken during this period. This is a
weakness in the law which puts pre-
MUM on dishonesty and strain ON
the conscience of the fisherman. The
man who finds a bass or croppie at
the end of his line instead of cat
fish will think long and hard before
he throws 1t back into the water-and
fish are mighty scarce, anyhow.
Those who framed the present Jaw
were in favor of closed season on all
fishes, but this was the best they
could do in the face of existing pub
lie sentiment 81 lt,p

departments of government would be

SALARY QUESTION is
PROBLEM FOR BOARD
COUNTY EDUCATORS HAVE 4
VERY DIFFICULT NATTER
TO SOLVE.

A considerable portion of the time
that the county board of education
was in session Monday was takenNup
in the discussion of salaries at several
of the larger schools of the county.
The members of the board frankly
stated, as did Superintendent Graham
that it was going to be very difficult
matter to hold teachers unless there
were some increases made The board
will have practically no additional
funds over what were expended last
year although the county court has
made an additional appropriation, due
to the fact that the increased funds
which are not large, must be used
mainly for upkeep and repairs. Dur
ing the past year practically every
dollar of the school revenues was used
for teachers salaries and for fuel and
supplies nothing being expended for
repairs or additions. This condition
cannot, of course, continue indefinitely
hence the additional revenue provided
in the courts appropriation must be
made to make repairs. Altogether the
members of the board have a hard
problem to solve. They must main
tain the present high standard of the
schools and how to do it with no add.
tional funds for salaries is a question
that is causing them to lay awake O.
nights.
