President Declares American Citizens
t. Must BE Protected Regardless
gf Of What Change Is Made.
RUSSIA is TO CONSIDERED
United States Representation in Mat.
ter Not Advisable Under Present
Circumstances, Says Note

Washington, March 30.-Vigorous
expression Of President Wilson's opin-
ion that "the often expressed inten-
tion of the Allies that the anomaly Of
tho Turks in Europe should cease"
should be carried out in framing the
ssTurkish treaty, characterized the
pAmerican rejoindcr of the recent AL
lied note transmitting information as
to the status of treaty negotiations.
While the strength or arguments
for retention of the Turks in Constan-
tinople was reorganized, the note said
american Government believes the 'ar
gunents against it are far stronger
and contain certain imperative ele-
ments which it would not seem pos
sible to ignore"
The American reioinder was handed
to the French ambassador here March
"a for transmission to Premier Mil
lerand and made public tonight by
the State Department on advices that
it had been delivered.
e President Wilson, it said, "does not
deem it advisable in the present cir
cumstances" that the United States
should be represented at the confer
ences as suggested by the Allied COM
munication. He feels, however, it was
added, that Gas this government is
Vitally interested in the future peace
of the world, it should frankly express
it's views on the proposed solutions
of the difficult questions connected
with the Turkish treaty"
Comment on some of the territorial
phases and upon the whole economic
=, program of the proposals as to the
treaty was deferred pending more com
plete information as to the objects
sought. The note takes occasion to
say, however, "that it is the under
standing of the government of the
United States that whatever territorial
changes or arrangements may be
made in the former Ottoman empire,
such changes or arrangements will in
no way place American citizens cr COY
porations, or the citizens or corpora
tionS of any other country in less
favorable situation than the citizens
Of corporations Of any power party to
this treaty"
The American expression notes with
pleasure that provision is made for
Russian representation on the control
council which it is proposed shall be
established for the government of Con
stantinoplc and the straits" In this
connection, it adds:
This government is convinced that
no arrangement that is made concern
ing the government and control of
Constantinople and the straits can
have any elements of permancncy I'M
less the vital interests Of Russia in
those problems are carefully provided
for and protected, and unless it is un-
derstood that Russia, when it has a
government recognized by the cviliz-'
ed world, may assert it's right to be
heard in regard to the decisions now
made"

Mr. j. Med. McFaddin Of Manning
has been losing a shoat every few
days for some time. Last Thursday
! held postmortcm and found the
trouble was caused by worms. Worms
in hogs cause a large annual loss and
many hogs die from worms and the
owner does not know the cause. When
an animal dies it should be opened
and the cause accurately determined,
for only in that way can the rest of
the herd be intelligcntly treated. Here
is the treatment for Intestinal worms
IN hogs:--Do not give your hogs any
feed for a day but put them all in a
pen where you can easily catch them.
Then catch hem one at n time and
give each one three capsules, each
capsule containing 8 gr. Santonin and
3 gr. calomcl put in ten gr. capsules.
The next day put or. Glaubcrs salts
in each animals feed, and the hogs
will soon be putting on weight again.

two days in Manning this week in the
interests of the Manning Canning
Factory. We have visited a number
of farmers in Il radius Of eight miles
Of Manning to find out whether they
were going to plant tomatoes for the
cannery but not much interest is
shown. The Manning Canncry is one
Of five in this section of the State,
Orangcburg county having four. The
Ellorcc Canncry is the best Of these
and the last few years have done a
big business canning something like
10000 cans a season. They were able
to do this because both the farmers
and those who own stock in the can
merry took an interest in the carmcry
and made it profitable concern. We
can do this at Manning if we will.
