.SCHE|DEMANN'S
. Wall OF COMPLAINT
Says the Allies Preparing to
Take 1t All. Paints a
Gloomy Picture
FOR THE GERMAN PEOPLE

Weimar via Copenhagen, March
28.-Speaking yesterday in the ma
tional assembly Phillip Scheide-
mann, the Chancellor, said semi-of-
cial and non-official reports were
increasing daily that "fresh aggra-
vations in the peace conditions are
expected to be announced; that un-
precedented sums in compensation
are to be imposed; that wide street
ches of purely German territory are
to be taken, and that crushing re-
strictions are to be imposes in fl
nancial and military mattel ~
Assured a large part of these al
legged conditions are invented" the
Chancellor continued, $50 that by
repetition they will accustom us to
these unheard of demands and the
final conditions seem almost beara-
BILE to us. They are invented In or
der to create an atmosphere which
will suffocate protest even against a
peace of violence. Our peoples,
which are il1-treated by the armis-
tice more cruelty than by the war,
recognize this method. A cry not
of chauvinist nature, but of the
deepest despair which appeals to
the highest there is to the confer
ence of humanity-is going up
throughout Germany"
Herr Scheidemann said the pro-
tests against the alleged conditions
were due to patriotic earf. The
government knew this loyalty to
the empire was the most valuable
possession entrusted to it's control
and would not permit it to be en-
trenched upon at home or abroad.
The chancellor appealed to the peo-
pie to stand together, adding:
"The so-called radicals of the Left
have no right to protest against acts
of opprt don,' for we are RESPONSE
BILE und the treaties of Brest-Lit-
ovsk and Bucharest"
Declaring that Great Britain had
rejected a proposal to establish an
International tribunal to Investigate
responsibility for the war, Herr
Scheidemann said:
Gwen if Germany were RESPONSE
BILE for all the crimes she is accused
of, has she thereby lost the right to
protest against fetters which throt-
tie her. Spa was worse than Brest-
Litovsk because Spa shows that it
learned nothing from Brest-Li-
tovsk.''

Miss Hampton, one of the teachers

At the conclusion of forty min
utes of spelling it was found that
the Woman's Club had won and
that some ten of the Woman's club
had not been spelled down to about
nine of the members of the Senior
Glass who were left standing. The

The number of words misspelled

The trouble was started when the

BURY OUR HEROES HERE

The War Department is sending
cards to those who have lost rela-
tives in France, asking for instruc-
tions as to whether they want the
remains returned to their home or
not. We think it would be the
proper thing for the remains of all
the Wilson county boys to be re-
turned to Wilson and plot in
Maplewood Cemetery set apart for
the white soldiers who lost their
lives in France and plot in Oak
Cemetery for the colored. Wilson
being the county seat of Wilson
county and being a thriving town
the Cemeteries will always be kept
up and the graves looked after. OF
course this is a matter for each pa
rent to decide for themselves as to
the final resting place of their loved
ones. We merely offer this sugges-
tion.
These boys have made history,
and their graves will forever be
spots of historical interest and they
should be kept in place where they
will be kept green after this genera
ton has passed away.

PREMIER HUGHES
OF AUSTRALIA
Is Opposed to Racial Equality
and Will Not Make Con-
tract to Put
JAPANESE ON THE LEVEL

Paris, March 2S.-(By the A. P.)
William M. Hughes, the Premier
of Australia, made the fiat statement
today that he was unalterably in op-
position to the proposed Japanese
racial equality amendment to the
covenant of the League of Nations
or to any form of it, however mild
in recognizing that principle.
australia Mr.. Hughes said,
cannot accept this proposal which
strikes at the very roots of the pol
icy that we have maintained so long,
| as zealously as has America her
Monroe Doctrine.
'sI am most anxious to avoid any
thing likely to hurt the susceptible
tiles of the people of other nations,
but on this point, since we cannot
give way, it is best that I should
speak plainly.
We cannot agree to the insertion
of any words in the covenant or in
pair, or even question, our sovereign
rights in regard to any and every
aspect of this question.
zone Of tn, cardinal principles of
i the league is that there shall be no
interference in the internal affairs
of any nation. No nation will sur
render its sovereignty in matters es-
sential to it's welfare to enter the
league.
81 cannot but regard the proposed
| amendment as an effort to estab-
| lish principle under which ulti-
mately some nations would find their
internal policy challenged by the
| lea que at the instigation of one of it's
/ which, no matter how inoccuous it
may seem in form, is certainly aimed
at giving the league control of ques-
tions relating to immigration, natur-
| alization and matters which cannot
be surrendered by any State without
such impairment of it's sovereignty
as to make it, in effect, subject
state.
eff the league is able to compel a
State to amend it's immigration, nat
ura1ization and franchise laws, there
remains to the State only the shad-
ow Of sovereignty. The substance
rhas gone. No free nation could
agree to dictation in such matters
from the League of Nations. Init.
mate problems belong to and must

"Of course, we are told by those
who advocate this amendment that
nothing more is desired than the

am afraid this assurance will not
reconcile the people of Australia tc
the proposal. 1t certainly does moi
satisfy me.
Either the proposal means some
thing, or nothing. If nothing, the1
Iwhy insert it." If something, ther
surely this something will not be
achieved by mere words, stopping
for all time short of action. II these
in the covenant mean nothing, ther
the covenant itself means nothing.
"But I hope and believe the Gov
enant, extending the rule of Law
into the spheres of international dis
pute means a great deal; that it con
templates and provides for action
as do all other legal documents, mu

ing this, I cannot accept the sugges

O'RRIEN MAX Els ANSWER
TO JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS

Washington October G.-(Speclal)
John Sharpe Williams, Mississippi SEN
ator, still survives the attacks of the
Irish. At the present time the leaders
of that race are attempting to disprove
the Mississippian's statement in the SEN
ate that the Irish did not win the indie
pendence of the colonies. and did not de-
feat the south in the civil war.
Senator Williams declared that more
Irish constituted the English than the
American army. He also affirmed that
the Irish in the south fought for the
south just as the Irish OF the north
fought for the north.
In the latest 'refutation" of the Will
liams speech, Michael J. OBren of New
York reproduces an interview printed in
the New York sun in which Gen. Robert
f. Lee, chieftain OF the armies of the
Confederacy, tells interesting things to
Or. George w Pepper of the army of the
Tennessee. Mr.. O'Brien qpotes DR.. Pep
per:
ITO the question, What, General Lee,
in your opinion, caused the failure of
the south?' I am not a very good ex-
temporaneous speaker he replied. The
most important factor was the super
iority in the immense numbers of your
soldiers and in ylour unbounded re-
sources. The north had all the advan-
tages, land of vast wealth, cities SCI
cure from the evils of civil war, and q
constant stream of emigrants from Ire
land and Germany to replenish your a.
minished ranks. In speech of Mr..
Everett's which I have been reading this
very day, he states that there were at
one time 100000 Irishmen in the federal
armies. The population of the south was
never more than 100000. With five
to one against them, the men of the
Confederacy performed a mighty task.
and made a tremendous step toward
their independence.
| In another part of this remarkable
interview, DR. Pepper wrote: Our next
element in both armies Speaking of the
Irish, he declared with much feeling that
''the south could not reconcile with their
ideas of consistency how Irishmen who
were so violently opposed to the thraldom
of British could enlist on the northern
side, when all the wrongs of Ireland were
mosquito bites in comparison to those in
| flicted on the south
"Adverting to the character of the Irish
as soldiers, the general paid them a
high compliment. Cleburne, he said, was
| possessed of heros heart and sol
Gier's honor On field of battle he
shone like meteor in a clouded sky. Not
| a single vice stained him. The care which
he took of his soldiers was incessant.
His integrity was proverbial.'
I mentioned the name of Thomas
FRANCIS Meaghef as the popular iuol ol
the northern Irishmen. Yes continued
| he, "Meagher on your side, though not
| Cleburnes equal in military genius and
| experience, rivalled him in bravery and
| in the affections of his soldiers. The he
| roic stand and desperate though fruitless
| gallantry of that brigade of Meagher's
upon the heights of Fredericksburg never
has been eaualled. Though totally rout-
ed, they reaped a harvest of glory Their
reckless and splendid charges upon oui
lines excited the heartest applause OF
our soldiers and officers. Meagher was
the bravest of the brove."
