WILSON CALLS
LEAGUE SESSION
Place of Meeting Held From An
nouncement-November IS Is
Date Set by President

Washington, July 11.-President
Wilson acting under Article v Of
the covenant of the League of Ma
tions, has called the first meeting
of the assembly of the league for
November Is.
The place of meeting is reserved
from announcement in this country
on the ground that as the invitation
came from the allies, it is the sole
privilege of the allies to give all the
details of the presidential call.
White House officials seem to think
that, although the act of the Presi-
dent is purely personal one, the
announcement should be made at
the state department.
1t is believed the place of meeting
suggested is Geneva. The alterna-
tive was Brussels, but it is said the
political atmosphere at Geneva
would be preferable, because of the
neutral attitude of Switzerland
during and since the war.
1t was announced few days ago
from London that the President had
actually issued the call, but it was
declared here that the announce
ment was erroneous, all that had at
that time developed being the re-
ceipt of the invitations from the al
lies. ..
The authority of the President to
call the first meeting of the council
of the League of Nations and of the
assembly of the league itself is ex-
pressly stipulated in Article V. That
authority was recited in the official
statement from the state depart

OCONEE BOY WHO SLEW
FATHER WITH AXE SENT
TO STATE REFOMATORY

Caleb Watkins, the Oconees boy
who killed his father with an axe,
pleaded guilty to manslaughter at
tbet erm of court now being held at
,Walhalla and was sentenced to be
confined in the State Industrial
School for Reformation Of White
Youths at Florence. The keowee
Courier prints this account OF the
case:
"The sentence of the court was
that the defendant should be con-
fined at the State Industrial School'
for Reformation Of White Youths at
Florence until such time as ne shall
have attained his majority. This IS
q case in which considerable inter-
est centered, the defendant being

not known. He killed his father
Tone Watkins, at their home IN the
Poor Mountain section some months
400 and has since been confined at
the county Jail with yard privileges
He seemed to have no desire TO
leave the Jail premises, was content
at all times, and to all appearances
was enjoying life for the first tlme'
His home life-if such it could be
eallei-according to his story at the
time of the killing, was little better
than a form of serfdom. He had

GERMANY ASKS FOR
THIRTY YEARS IN
WHICH TO PAY
Also Asks That Representation
Obligations be Fixed in
Annual Payments

Spa, Belgium, July 12.-Germany
can fulfill future engagements only
if they are based on her financial
capacity, said statement outlining
the Berlin governments plan for
reparations submitted to the allie
premiers here tonight. The German
budget must balance, the state
ment insisted, or there weuld be a
rapid increase in the floating dc bit
and consequent initiation that would
neutralize her capacity to pay.
There must also, it was asserted,
he no further dimuniHon in the
fundamental bases of German poll
|tical economy, which are already
much weakened.
Assuming that Germany's ability
to paw is used as basis, the state
ment asked that reparation obiiga-
tions be expressed in annuities, the
minimum of which would be fixed,
and the obligation to pay such an
nu:ties limited to 80 years. Stipula-
tion was made that the minimum OF
Inc annuities be fixed according to
Germany's financial capacities, and
s...erefcre comprise all obligations
- money and kind according to the
t-c.ty of Versailles. This would re-
late especially to the undertaking to
pay the expenses of, the armies OF
OCCUPATION, which are to be covered
partly by money and partly in klnd'
which must in principle, be- credited
according to universal market
prices.
AS the economic development of,
the next thirty years cannot be
foretold, the statement asserted a
plan must be worked out by which
allied governments would partlcl-
pate in the improvement of finan
cial conditions in Germany.
Experts from allied nations and
Germany should meet as soon as
possible, the statement said, to fix
the amounts of the annuities to be
paid and to pass on the securities to
be demanded. Germany's sovereign
ty in financial matters must not be
infringed upon in decisions regard
ing this feature or adjusting repara-
ton payments. These experts
should also fix the maximum sum to
be paid to the allies by Germany.

The early departure for Pocatello
OF Mr.. and Mrs. c. Ben Ross and
family brings a loss to Parma and
Canyon county in many departments
of public affairs. As commission
OF Canyon county Mr.. Ross has done
much for the improvement of county
roads and development of other mat
tiers vital to the welfare of the farm
ing communities. He is president of
the state farm bureau and has al
ways been active in every movement
for the betterment of the farmers.
As a member of a pioneer Idaho fam
lily Mr.. Ross was especially CONVEX
SAINT with state and county needs.
For many years Mr.. Ross was an
active farmer and land owner of the
Roswell district, helping in school
and local affairs as enthusiasticaliv
as in state and county. He is one Of
the most popular and efficient mem
6ers of the Parm Association of
inence in Odd Fellow and Rebekah
affairs.
Mrs. Ross has for many wears been
prominent officer in the Rebekah
lodge, has taken active part in farm
bureau and civic affairs and as 4
social leader is known throughout
the county. Preparing for her de-
parture she has resigned as clerk of
the Parma school board and president
OF the local Parent-Teachers' associ-
alton from both of which offices she
will be greatly missed. Friends. of
whom Mr.. and Mrs. Ross have hum

that their move to Pocatello may be
only temporary and that they will

Exect More Building

Finaicially-The break in prices in
potatoes and grain as also shortage
of cars has had the effect of retarding
the movement OF these crops, and the
flow of money in the sale from this
source is much smaller to date than
for the same period a year ago. But
while the season of movement is later
the abundant crops of all kinds insures
a heavy return later on.
Business in General-Merchants re-
port satisfactory trade for this sea-
son of the year and are anticipating a
heavy fall business. The dry goods
merchants however, due to uncertain
markets are buying very conservative
ly, although it is not thought that
there will be much of a decline in
retail prices for some time, due to
scarcity of goods and increase in
freight.
Real Estate and Building-Sales of
real estate are not very active; how
ever, considerable city property, es-
pecially sales of homes are reported.
Real estate dealers are quite optimistic
in their views as to the sale of farm
properties later in the year. There
is not mitch new building but consid-
cradle work in alterations and repairs.
1t is predicted that after the harvest
is over that there will be quite an
activity in building, both in the city
and country.
