Treaty to be Ready Friday or Satur-

Treaty to be Ready Friday or Satur-
day.-It was stated in French circles
Saturday night, that the peace confer
ence would be ready to present the
peace treaty to the Germans Friday
or Saturday of this week. The draft
ing commmittee worked throughout
the entire day while the members OF
the council of three were taking a
respite from conference work.
The French idea Is that the text of
the treaty is nearly completed. The
military and naval sections have been
finished with the exception of those
pertaining to the Kiel Canal and some
secondary points.
Aside from the disposition of Kiao
Chau, which some of the delegates are
confident will be settled tomorrow,
there remain to be settled conclu-
sively questions of the customs re-
gime in the Duchy of Luxembourg,
the disposition Of the German cable
lines and the repatrition of German
prisoners of war. The report of the
special commission on the latter ques-
tion is expected tomorrow. 1t was said
tonight that all the other problems
had been solved and drafted into the
articles of the treaty including the
control of the west bank Of the Rhine.
The latest reports are that secret
plenary session will be held Thurs
day or Friday evening for communi-
cation of the terms to the allies and
associated powers.

The soldier who deserves the great
est credit in this war Is the enlisted
soldier without a commission. AS to
whether or not he wanted to go, does
not matter. He had to go; but his
conduct after he went was up to him.
If he had not chosen to do his duty,
there would have been a mighty poor
way Of making him. In character,
manhood and fitness he averages up to
those who held commissions and more
than once when his officers fell down
be showed them how to lead. how to do,
and how to die. Now that it is all
over, he will show that he is nobody's
fool.

United States concerning bargaining
have failed to make the slightest i'm
preston on the mind of the postmas-
ter general and he has insisted upon
a line Of conduct as completely out Of
harmony with the balance of the gov
ernment as 1t we'll could be. Mr..
Burleson's troubles can not success
fully be laid by him at the doors of
those whom he may assume are his
enemies for political purposes only
because heir source Is something
deeper. Mr.. Burleson's troubles arise
from the fact that he has attempted
with singular zeal to carry out an
archaic, autocratic policy in the con-
duct Of the postal. telegraph and tele-
phone services of the United States.
Any postmaster general who will fol-
low the same policy will inevitably
face the same public condemnation
and eventually walk the same plank
that Mr.. Burleson must walk sooner
or later"

The Victory Loan chairman in Edge
field county has perfected an arrange
ment under which he is displaying a
German helmet at each bank, with the

1t is more or less common to hear
people referring to the prohibition
question, express themselves like this:
Don't you see that people just will
make it and sell it, and there is no use
trying to stop them? Doesn't common
sense suggest that since they are going
to sell it anyway, it would be better to
license the sale and get some revenue
out Of it?" Among those who put the
matter this way, there may be some who
are really convinced by their own
questions; but If so, it is only q very
superficial view that these people are
capable of taking of quite plain ques-
ton. To be sure there are people who
will make and sell it as long as there
is such large profit in it; but the big
price itself is the best evidence that
the number of people who are willing
to make and sell 1t is smaller than it
has ever been. And that Is not all.
The makers and sellers might increase
in number a little; but they will not
increase much. The fact that they are
in such a minority and the fact that
they have few supporters, compafa-
lively speaking, is against them. The
majority sentiment Of the country is
now demanding that the liquor busi-
ness be wiped out entirely, and in this
matter the majority sentiment is 60
ing to have it's way. They are people
who think the making and selling of
liquor offers very great attractions; but
they are very shortsighted people. The
public is not going to put up with
them these days at it once did.
