FEARS STRIKE MAY 4; THREATS
OF LABOR ULTIMATUM

Paris, April, 13.-The approach
of May 1 is arousing uneasiness as
regards the maner in which that
day, long notable in European Ia
Dor annals, will be celebrated here.
Some Parisians who are leaving
Paris for Easter holidays intend 10
prolong their stay until after the
first of the month. On the other
hand, some visitors are expected
from the industrial certers in the
provinces to remain in Paris beyond
May /.
At present the only thing known
as to the probable scope of the pro-
gram is that the labor unions and
the general labor. federation are
planning a demonstration which
may take the form of a general
strike of all labor for twenty-four
hours or limited strike of the
same length which would leave the
public services in operation.
Some of the newspapers express
the expectation that May 1 will wit
ness a form of an u1timatum from
the working classes to. the Govern
ment.

DEBs GIVES PRISON PROMISE

Wheeling, w. Va, April 16.-Eu-
gene v. Debs, Socialist leader, SEN
fenced to ten years Imprisonment
at the Moundsville Penitentiary,
near Wheeling, for violation of the
espionage Act, began his term Mon
day as clerk in the prison hospit-
al.
Warden Terrell said that he had
intended to assign Debs to the IL
brary, but decided that Debs would
be the object of too much curiosity
there and gave him the clerkship,
the Highest work in the institution,
because of his age.
Before he began work the warden
told Debs that he would be well
treated so long as he complied with
the prison regulations and that the
only special requirement in his case
was that he refrain from preaching
any of his doctrines, which Debs
agreed to do.

Beyond the great total of 100000
100000 gold marks, the commission
is empowered to fixe anything more
that may be required to cover Ger
many's Indebtedness.
In other words" concluded the
eminent American authority who
framed the terms and furnished the
summary, "a commission is set up
with power to collect from Germany
to the utmost of her capacity to
pay, within the limitation of her in
debtedness."
1t is the gold mark that all pay
ments are expressed in the final
terms. This includes deprecated
paper marks and fixes the standard
of payment in gold. The gold mark
is worth about the same as the En-
glish shilling, and before the war
was quoted at 1882 American
cents
The allotment of the 100, ,O00,-
100000 marks among the allied
and associated powers has not yet
been finally decided, but tentative
arrangement makes the allotment
of France about SIS per cent, of the
total, Great Britain's allotment be-
tween 20 and 80 per cent, and the
allotment of the United States be-
tween and 5 per cent
Earlier in theday it was officially
stated that the initial payment be
made in cash or it's equivalent in
commodities before May 1, 1921,
and that the report of the commits
sion on payments beyond the 1O0,-
100000 marks must be made
by that date.
While the commission will ad-
minister the details of the payments
sufficient is known to permit the de-
termination that an initial payment
will be required of 10000, 100000
gold marks, payable in two years
without interest. 1t has also been
determined that 40,OOO,OOO,O0O
gold marks shall be payable in
bonds extending over a period of
thirty years, beginning in 1921,
with a sinking fund beginning in
1926.
These 10000 100000 marks
draw 2 1-2 per cent interest from
1921 to 1925, and per cent. inter-
est from 1926.
In addition to the foregoing pay
ments, Germany will also be requir-
ed to deliver additional bonds for
4O,000,000,00O marks, when the
commission determines that this
shall be done. These three pay
ments of twenty, forty and forty
billions bring the total to 100000
100000 gold marks.

Berlin, April JS.-From official
announcements as to the conditions
to be laid down in the treaty Of
peace demanded of the Germans
Prince LichkowskY in an article in
a Berlin newspaper says that
France forgets that instead of con-
tinued peace, that a dominating and
extorted peace will only bring force
and fresh ornaments which will
throw into the shade all former ar
maments since a mailed peace can
be maintained only by a mailed
fist"
mo German government can
agree to such a peace" says Vor-
waerts, 1.-The Entente states may
fix the terms Of indemnity but they
will not be able to collect such
harsh ones even if they take the
last sheet off their beds"

PinehuH - 55l'fI,' 1S-More elo-
quent than the words of any orator
are the figures showing that from
the ranks of twenty-five hundred
physicians in North Carolina seven
teen hundred and fifteen hundred
volunteered for military service
and four hundred and six
teen actually donned the uniform,
declared Governor Thos. w. Beckett,
himself the son of a country doc
tor, in ADDRESSING the North Caro-
lima Medical Society here tonight.
Opened with an address outlining
in broad prospective the place of the
physician by Dr. Cyrus Thompson
retiring president of the society, and
closed with an eloquent and tender
tribute to the work of the doctor
in war and in peace by the State s
chief executive, the first days ses-
sion of the sixty-sixth annual con-
vention of the association was a no.
. table one.
Governor Bicket was heard by
as many people as could get into
the spacious convention hall and was
given great ovation. Referring tc
DR.. Thompson's address earlier ir
the day, which elected high praise
from the doctors, the Governor de-
c1ared that he ''had learned to love
DR.. Thompson almost better than his
conscience would permit him to love
any Republican"
He was greatly applauded wher
he declared that he was going &C
Charlotte to review "that immorta
company of immortals that smashed
the Hfndenburg line"
Reviewing the health Legislation
of the last two sessions of the Gen
eral assembly Governor Beckett sail
the steps taken towards crushing
out vice were due not only to the
wisdom of the North Carolina doc
| tors but also to their moral STAN
ina.
Service and benign self-forgetfu1
ness were designated as the dis
ltinguishing marks of the medica
profession, which the Governor sale
appealed to him as being more near
ly divine in it's purpose than any
other he knew.
Following the Governor, addresse:
were male tonight on the govern
ment's plans for the rehabilitation
of tuberculosis and disabled soldiers

army and Prof. T. B. Kidner, special

Paris, April 16.-The followin
statement by President Wilson, O
behalf of the Council of Four, wa
issued Monday night:
In view of the fact that the que
tions which must be settled in th
peace with Germany have bee1A
brought so near complete solutio
that they can now quickly be pull
through the final process of draft
ing, those who have been most con-
stantly in conference about them
have decided to advise that the Ger
man pienipotent:aries be invited to
meet the representatives of the as
sociated belligerent nations at Yer
sailles on the 25th of April.
This does not mean that the
many other questions connected
with the general peace settlement
will be interrupted, cr that their
consideration, which has long been
under way, will be retarded. On
the contrary, it is expected that rap
III Will 1kOW -D0 ndu0 WILL
these questions, so that they may
also presently be expected to be
ready for final sertYgment.
1t is hoped that the questions
post directly affecting Italy, espe
cially the Adriatic question, can
now be brought to speedy agree
uent. The Adriatic question will
be given for the time precedence
over other questions and pressed b!
continual study to it's final stage.
The settlements that belong espe
cially to the treaty with Germany
VIII, in this way, be got out of the
way at the same time that all Other
settlements are being brought to Z
complete formulation. 1t is realized
that, though this process must b'
followed, all the questions of the
present great settlement are part o
a single whole.

instantly killed Monday morning at
4 o'clock while prowling around the
home of Mrs. John Ly1es, who lives
in Edgecombe county, several miles
