tion of the fight which the little
country put up against overwhelming
odds. As a background We're 106 heroes
of the Belgian army. When DIR. Green
reached the climax OF his address. a
roar of enthusiasm drowned his words
and for an entire minute the audience
was on its feet waving hats, canes
and handkerchief To put a stop to
the demonstration. the Belgian vet
Grams bTandished their rifles and gave
an answering yell.
We have spent much money" de-
clared DIR. Green. But we were
spending it to good purpose. We
were doing two things. We were
saving time and we were saving
lives. We saved this country nine
months of fighting by the money
spent. and we saved the lives of
10000 American soldiers. That is
why the Victory Loan is an honor
loan and a challenge from the gov
eminent for you to make good what

NTANGLNG PACTS
WITH EUROPEANS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.


mite" Briefly this is what happened;
France. considering the league of na-
uons covenant as IL stands INSULT
cient because it does not provide for
specific assurances of military aid
to her, and fails to provide for
a league of uations general staff,
insisted that further extension OF the
French sphere eastward was absolute
ly necessary rs safeguard for her
future security. She insisted upon
the creation OF Rhenish republic.
President Wilson bluntIy refused
even to consider such a proposition,
pointing out that the world SYM
pathized with France in this war,
among the chief reasons because it
wanted to see Alsace Lorraine re-
STORED to its mother country, and
that the world, therefore. gave
France every aid during the war.
But. the President argued, if there
was not to be an eXcision of Ger
situation parallel to that Alsace
Lorraine. a new wrong to be right
ed" in the future.
France reluctantly withdrew her
demand. but insisted instead that
she must be promised complete pro-
lection. arguing that the league of
nations as it stood did not give it,
She demanded that Britain and the
United States agree to an under
standing, separate from the league,
which would amount to a virtual Of
fensive and defensive understand
ing. or alliance.
President's Probable Course.
To this proposition the British are
reported to have agreed. Also, in GER
tain French quarters the United States
was reported to have agreed.
What President Wilson may have
done is this: To have promised Pre-
| mier Clemenceau that he would lay
Frances suggestion before Congress.
| and to have added that he might pos
sibly secure the adoption of a resolu-
ton authorizing the Executive in the
event of aggression against France by
Germany, to outline the situation to
| Congress and recommend aggressive
action in behalf of France.

RUSS REPUBLIC
Omsk Regime Seems the
Most Stable Government
In Disturbed Country.
KOLCHAK ARMY GAINS
1000 Prisoners Captured,
Also Machine Guns and
Cannon, Report.
KOLCHAK ARMY GAINS

Withdrawal OF the Archangel allied
expedition in Northern Russia will
not be delayed by the proposed al
lied recognition of the Russian re-
publican government at Omsk. it was
intimated in diplomatic quarters here
yesterday.
The Peace Conference plans regard
ing Russia are understood to be
compromise between the plea OF Rus
sian anti -Bolsheviki factions for full
allied assistance and the growing de-
mand in Great Britain and the United
States for the immediate abandon
ment Of Intervention
Omsk Regime stable.
Admiral Kolchak's government at
Omsk is in such an advanced state
of organization that it will be sat
isfied with recognition from the
allies, II is stated authoritatively.
The allies have received practice
ally no military support from the
Russians in the northern regions
and the only result accomplished
by the expedition has been the
protection of the supplies at Arch
angel.
On the other hand. most OF the
fighting in Siberia and Eastern Rus
sia has been done by the Russian
forces. Semenoff put down Bolshevik
and uprisings of German
prisoners in Central and Eastern
Siberia. and the establishment of the
Ural front against the Boisheviki has
been effected entirely by the Siberian
forces under Admiral Kolchak, of the
Omsk government.
Kolchak's armies are meeting with
success in their recently launshed
offensive, according to official ad-
vices from Omsk to the Russian en-
bassy. Sterlitamak, in the south, has
fallen before the combined attacks of
Siberians and Orenburg Cossacks, and
Orenburg is threatened, ii is stated.
kolchaks communique reports the
capture of 1000 prisoners, a large num-
Der OF machine guns and small can
non and considerable supplies, and
predicts the collapse OF the red front
in the south.
Drive on Viatka.
The offensive in the north, it is
stated. is developing toward viatka,
where Kolchak hopes to seize the huge
Notkinsk works, now turning out ar
mored railway cars and river gun
boats for Trotsky's armies.
The increased financial stability of
the Omsk government is declared to
have had weight at Paris in its re-
ported recognition. Kolchak is now
in control of the rich gold and
platinum resources in the Urals and
is acquiring the entire production of
both metals as a treasury basis for
his government.
1t is held in diplomatic circles that
recognition of the Omsk minisesy as
the government Of Siberia and
Eastern Russia" could not be object
ed to by the Bolsheviki or allied
elements opposed to intervention.

Martial Cases on Re-
turn from Europe.

President Wilson has informed war
Department officials of his determine
ton to investigate the whole system
Of army courts martial on his return
to the United States
The first concern of the President
will be to see that just sentences a's
meted out to all men who have oeeE
found guilty under the army court
martial system, he has indicated to
his advisers. To do this it is ex-
pected that in many cases he will use
his executive clemency powers, as tie
cases ere sent to him for review.
1t is certain. officials in the
Judge advocate generals office be-
Iieve, that the President will care
fully review all of the severe
sentences imposed by the court
martial system to see II there is
court-martial sentences were re-
duced by President Wilson during
his short stay in this country be-
tween his European trips. And 1t
is believed with the signing of the
peace treaty formally ending the
war he will make the severe war
time punishments correspond to
those for similar offenses which
civil courts would impose during
peace times.

MADISON SCHOOLS
TO OPEN JULY I

County Superintendent Ben F.
Edwards announces that the
county schools of Madison county
will open July 9TH, next Monday.
The County Board of Education
felt that there should be no de-
lay in opening the rural schools,
simply because several changes
are to be made in the school
books. The State Superintend-
ent recommended that the .coun-
ty schools wait until September,
but the members of the Madison
board felt that it would be use-
less to wait long, especially
when few of them see little reason
for a change of the majority of
the school books any way. So
they did not feel that the country
children should be deprived OF
the opportunity to attend school
during the good weather which
may be expected in July and
August.
