AMERICANS NOT To
AID AS PLEBISCITES
Allies To Tell Germany
Forces Will Be Reduced
One-F ourth

Paris, Jan. 6.-There is every in
dication now in Supreme Council cir
cles that the peace protocol Will be
signed by Germany and notifications
of the Treaty of Versailles exchanged
on the coming Saturday, January 10,
the date tentatively set by the Coun-
ell yesterday.
The Council of the League of Ma
lions, 1t is understood, will be called
to meet about a week later.
An application from the German
representatives here for reduction
in the number of troops to be sent to
the areas in which plebiscites are to
be taken under the peace treaty has
been received by the Supreme Coun-
ell. Germany will have to bear the
expense of maintaining these troops
and her representatives complain that
the cost will be excessive. So heavy
an expenditure is not necessary, it is
asserted.
The Council, it is learned, will re-
ply that inasmuch as the United
States has not supplied its quota of
troops, which was to constitute a
quarter of the whole, the number of
men sent will comprise only three
quarters of the total originally fixed.
The Inter-allied Military Commits
sion at Budapest was authorized by
the Supreme Council to intervene in
favor of some of the more moderate
Communists who have been con-
demned to death by the authorities
in the Hungarian capital. Authority
to intervene to this end had been
requested by tie commission.
TIL ere are still considerable num-
Der of the less extreme Communists
awaiting execution in Budapest, the
comission reported
At this mornings session of the
Council the questions last remaining
to be decided to complete the Hun
garian peace treaty were taken
under consideration. The Hungarian
delegates are expected to arrive this
evening. They probably will receive
the full text of the treaty Monday or
Tuesday next. How much time, II
any, will be given the delegation for
consideration of the peace terms is
not known as yet.
The precise date for the conference
of the Powers on the Turkish ques-
ton still remains uncertain and there
is even doubt as yet as to just what
form this conference will take and
exactly who will participate. AM
bassador Wallace, has thus far re-
ceived no instructions regarding par
ticipation.

SURVEY OF CONDITIONS
RESPECTING TEACHERS

The National Educational Associa-
ton has recently sent out blanks ia
every county Superintendent within
! the State, requesting specific informa-
ton as respects teachers and teach
ing conditions From the sixty-one
reporting the following is summary
1. Total number of teaching posi-
lions included in reports, 065.
2. Total number of teachers who
dropped out during the past year, l.
1853. per cent 2s.
3. Total number of new teachers
entering. September, 1919, 1904,
per cent 20.
A. Total shortage of teachers re-
ported, 46S, per cent g.
8. Total number of teachers be-
low standard, 96S, per cent 10.
6. Total shortage, including teach
ers below standard, 1,431, per cent
2S.
z. Has 1t been necessary to accept
lower qualifications in order to sup
ply teachers? Yes SIS, No 6.
s. Have teachers salaries increas-
ed as salaries have in other voca-
tons? Yes 4, No Sc.
8. Have teachers salaries increas-
ed in proportion to cost of living? No
SO.
10. Is the number of teachers be-
low 81 rs'of age Increasing? Yes
so, No 8.
IL. Are promising young men and
women attracted to teaching as in the
past? Yes 4, No 81.
We have prepared similar sum-
mary for every state from the signed
reports furnished by the superin-
tendents. II is very noticeable that
in those states where salaries are
highest conditions are best. and
where salaries are lowest the con-
ditions are most serious.

SPLENDID Meeting
On AT M. {. CHURCH
DR.. Waters Delivering Ex-
cellent Sermons, Song
Services Good

The series of meetings being con-
Quoted at the Methodist Church are
attracting widespread attention in
this community. The preaching is
being done by Evangelist Bascom
Waters, of Clinton, Tenn. His style,
method of delivery and rare aptitude
Nor driving home his points appears
to be an art peculiarly his own. His
system-for it is a system. and after
all, 1t is the only thing that counts
in any calling-is new to the people
of this locality. His discOurses are
not only highly entertaining, but if
eloquent, sound and sensible preach
ing of religious duties and standards
ever did good, then. this community
ought to be mmeasurably benefited.
The song services are under the
direction of Joe H Hampton, Singing
Evangelist, of Knoxville, Tenn, while
Miss Rhea Hanson, of Nashville,
Tenn, presides at the Piano. This
feature of the services is most excel
lent, above the usual standard and
lends aid in making the whole more
attractive and effective.
Two services are held each day, at
10 a. m. and p. m, the house usual
ly being we'll filled at the night SER

ALL MOVEMENT OF
WHISKY is ENDED


Under instructions received by To-
cal railroad officials from the United
States Railroad Administration to
accept no shipments of whisky that
cannot be delivered to destination by
January 49," all movement Of whisky
ceased today. 1t had been expected
that a definite date would be set by
the Railroad Administration and most
railroads here assumed that January
5 would be designated as the latest
date on which shipments could be
received for export.
Instructions; however, left the mat
ter in the discretion of the local Of
ficials, who Immediately decided that
q period of ten days was necessary to
insure any shipment reaching its
destination, If intended for export,
and ALLOW a reasonable time for load
ing on ships by January 16.
About 400 barrels were shipped out
yesterday as the last part OF the pool
of 10000 barrels formed two weeks
ago to be exported through Phila-
oeiphia. Practically 100000 gal
Ions remain in bond in Kentucky,
ready to be taken over by the Gov
eminent when constitutional prohibi-
tion becomes effective. The estimat-
ed value is from $SO.00O.OOO to
$3.50, 200, 900, taking into account the
possible value of bootleg whisky"
