PIONEERS PICNIC

Thursday, August the seventh. is
the date that has been selected by
the committee on arrangements for
the annual Pioneers Picnic, which is
to be held at the Fair Grounds at
Rocky Ford.
Formerly the Arkansas Valley Fair
Association observed one day of the
fair at meeting day for the old
settlers. but for a number of years
the only time that has been observed
for such a meeting is the Pioneers
Picnic. which should be great "get-
together day" for all the families
who can claim residence of 20
years or more in the valley.
No program has been arranged for
the piclic so that any old timer who
wants to do so. may feel perfectly
free to get up and give his experience
in the early days. Some of our
members have resided in the vicinity
for much longer time than twenty
years and the experiences of these
pioneers would be very inteserting
indeed
Let us have good crowd Come
early and bring your lunch baskets.
Coffee will be furnished and the
tables arranged so that the lunches
will all be served together.

tional corridor sufficient to protect tho
railroad from Bulgaria to Dedeagatch,
which is to be made u free port under
the jurisdiction of the league of ma
tions. The Greek boundary, which now
runs few miles east Of Kavalla, would
be pushed further eastward, taking in
the Greek population on the Egean
littornl. In east Thracc Greece would
be given strip extending from the
Egcan to the Black Sea, leaving a
small hinterland for Constantinope.
The strip which the Greeks would OBJ
tain under this plan contains more
Greeks than territory further west, and
Hellenic ambitions would be somewhat
gratified by the extension Of the king
dom of Greece to the Black Sea, al
though on account of.a lack of harbors
the economic value of this position
would be small.
Although admitting the disadvantage
of separating Greece from its territory
in Thrace by an international corridor,
the Americans say that after all the
main purpose is to assure permanent
peace in the Balkans, and this can be
attained only by eliminating the posi-
bility of the Bugars humping into the
Greeks on their way to the sea

governing more territory than Greece
controls at present.
In the early stages Of the negotia-
tions the Americans presented simpler
plan, which was rejected by the su-
preme council. This scheme was to
join eastern and western Thrace with
Constantinople under one mandatory
power, The American argument was
that under this arrangement Bulgaria
would have adequate guarantee Of an
economic outlet.
1t is learned on high authority that
France and Great Britain were willing
to accept this solution if at the same
time they had been assured the United
States would accept the mandate How
ever, with the United States reluctant
to assume such responsibility, the Brit
ish and French delegates were disin-
clined to consent to tho scheme, as it
would entail assumption Of the man.

France would regard such an in
crease of British power in the Balkans
with strong disfavor. Great Britain
feels the same toward similar in
crease of French influence.
The new American plan contemplatcs

basis for future peace. The fourteen
points and his former declarations
were somewhat vague and inconsistent
1t was necessary to have had them
formulated clearly and logically if the
negotiations were to be conducted In
conformity with them without delays,
misunderstanding or incoherence.
The American delegation, however,
avoided precision and those govern
ments which doubted the worth of GER
tam principles mannuvred, in ways
of which little was said, along lines of
their own. World politics was con-
Quoted at the peace conference as each
government conducted it's interior poll
tics.
To-day, on every occasion, Ameri-
cans and English reproach US for lack
ing principles, forgetting they them
selves we're the first to lack them. No
principle, no programme WAS formu-
lated by the peace conference.
"The governments at Washington
and London know that we are irrevoca-
bly, attached to an alliance with them.
But it is our duty to speak frankly.
They too often choose their agents
badly and affect too much disdain for
friendly councils from other sources"
New-York tribune., 1919-08-17

which a compromise was said to be i'm
possible and efforts thereto mere tenn
porizing, the American delegation has
finally plan for cutting up the terri
tory which makes the map of Thrace
look like a crazy quilt. There is no
assurance as yet that the other peace
delegates will accept the American COM
promise proposition, which is ex-
tremely intricate and complex even on
the map, and much more so when the
mixed population Of Thrace is con-
sidcrcd.
The fantastic boundaries which the
American delegation would draw in
Thrace are based upon the principle
which they refuse to surrender
namely, Bulgaria must have untram-
melled access to the Egean Sea. The
insistence and stress which the Ameri-
cans lay upon this point are due, first. to
the conviction that only thus will peace
be assured in the Balkans, and, second,
to the distrust Of Greek capacity for
