WILSON STANDS firm
Gives Statement of U. S. Position
On Adriatic Question.
Reply To Entent Powers Sent To Lon
don-Matter Past Argumentative
Stage.

Washington. - President Wilson's
reply to the Entente powers on the
Adriatic question has gone forward.
State department officials still refused
to discuss the contents of the docu-
ment, but a feeling of satisfaction was
noticeable in administration circles
that Mr. Wilson had made an unequi-
vocal statement of the American gov
ernment position.
While further exchanges on the subj
ject are expected, it is believed that
with the delivery of the Presidents
note by Ambassador Davis at London,
the question will have been removed
from the argumentative stage.
Although the premiers have for
warded to Jugo-Slavia in the form of
an ultimatum the settlement arrived
at without the participation of the
United States, it is said they have not
closed the way to a return to the Paris
agreement Of December 8, to which
the United States was party. In
the general belief here they have not
overlooked suggesting tina: the Amer
lean government point the way to the
carrying out Of an agreement which
Italy holds TO he unacceptable.
Officials here do not regard the stu
alton as atsall acute, nor do they be-
lieve that condition will arise from
the exchanges in which the United
States will have to consider whether
it can become a: party to the treaty Of
Versailles. The Allied answer to the
President seems to have clarified the
atmosphere, certainly to this extent.
It was settled that the exchanges
will not be made public, at least by
the American government, until after
the Presidents note has been deliv-
cred to the Allies. Whether they will
be given out then viii depend On the
wishes of the British, French and
Italian governments. So far as the
United States is concerned there is no
desire to withhold the notes.

The old faiths, whether Buddhism
or any others, are losing their hold on
the masses of the people in China.
The question of what will take their
place is of vital interest. Bolshevism
is at the door. The Christian mission
aries are too few to cope with the de-
mand, says North China Herald. Yet
it is to the Christian missionary that
China is looking. It depends largely
upon whence she gets her leadership
as to the course China takes at the
present time.

BRITISH SHIPS JOIN GUARD

Constantinople.-A British squadron

torpedo destroyers, under command OF
Admiral Fremantel, has arrived and
anchored in the Bosphorus near the
Italian and French battleships in the

of parliament building, where the
peace negotiations are taking place.
The newspapers are so jubilant over
the retention of Constaninople by the
Turks, that the details of the possible
peace treaty are oyershadowed.

Prohibition Rebellion Breaks Out.
In Upper Michigan, Fedora!
Official Says. -.
U. S. AGENTS HELD UP
Confiscated Wine Taken From Them.
After Raid-Offiicals Says Armed
Expedition Will Clean Up
Country At Once.

Chicago.-A rebellion against pro-
hibition' has broken out in Iron coun-
ty, Michigan, and the county, led by
it's prosecuting attorney, is in "open re-
volt" against federal authorities, Ma
jor A. L. Dalrymple, federal prohibi-
ton director for the central states has
notified Washington.
Prohibition agents leading a party
of Michigan state contsables were held
up on February 10 by Iron county Of
fcials and wine they had confiscated
taken from them, according to word
brought to Chicago by Leo j. Grove,
of Marquette, supervising prohibition
agent for the Upper Peninsula.
Major Dalrymple appealed to Attor-
ney General Palmer, through Assis-
tant Prohibition Director Gaylord, to
order warrants issued for the arrest
of the prosecutor, two deputy sheriffs,
two police officers and three other
residents of Iron River, a mining vii
lage.
While Washington was setting the
legal machinery in motion, Major Dali
rymple issued orders for a company
ofpicked prohibition agents to gather
here, preparatory to starting on an
armed expedition which he declared,
will "clean up" Iron county. The
Michigan state constabulary will be
asked to cooperate in the expedition.
The attack on Grove and his party
occurred within two miles of the spot
where Captain Marsh Of the constabu-
larry was recently shot by a bootlegger.
Prosecutor Talks.
Iron River, Mich.-"The people up
in this country are entitled to protec-
ton and they are going to get it SO
long as it is within my power to give
it to them"
Such was the sharp reply made by
P. A. McDonaugh, prosecuting attor'
ney Of Iron county, when he learned
that Maj. A. L. Dalrymple, prohibition
directors of the Central prohibition di-
rector of the Central states had de-
clared Iron county in "open revolt
against federal authority.
Mr.: McDonough then went on to tell
his side Of the story, stating that he
would more than welcome the federal
officials with a warrant for his arrest
and that it would not require an
armed expedition of dry agents and
Michigan state police to make the ar
rest.

SOARING NEWSPAPER COSTS

Martin County Sentinel:-Wlde-
spread movements to raise advertising
rates are reported from among news
papers all over the country. The news
papers felt the raise in prices as quick
" as anyone, but they have been rather
slow to demand corresponding advance
in income.
Some publishers have taken too mod
est a view of their own Importance. II
they print good newspapers, their
nroduct is lust as essential to the COM
munity as anything else. The people
will never be satisfied to dispense with
newspapers. The business men can't

down and their business decline.
If all business men realized the use
they might make Of advertising to draw
in new trade, many newspapers could
be successfully financed without much
increase in rates.-Newark CO.,. Ad-
vocate.
But they don It. And another thing:
the public doesn It realize how absurdly
cheap they get their newspapers.
Even in the days when white print
paper was cheap, the price Of the news
paper was ridiculously low. Nobody
bought any other necessity as cheaply.
And now, when the cost of white print
paper has scared to the very skies, when
all costs in even the smallest newspap.

WHAT SCHOOLS SHOULD TEACH.

WHAT SCHOOLS SHOULD TEACH.
Education is justly considered to be
the best antidote to the poison of
bolshevism. The question is as to the
nature of the enlightenment. It
should consist of a general, not de-
tailed, instruction in civics and pub
lie finances. First of all, the children,
and, for that matter, adults, too, must
grasp that the republic under which
we live is a government by the PEG:
pie, Of the people and for the people,
says Cincinnati Enquirer. The people
say what is to be done and how it is
to be done, from which follows that
every attempt forcibly to subvert the
government is rebellion against the
people. If that is fully understood,
the people will not tolerate an attempt
to conspire against what they lave
ordered to be done for their welfare
and safety. The instruction in public
finances relates principally to the ma
ture Of money, about which a great
and dangerous misconception prevails,
not in youthful minds alone. Chill
dren and others must learn to know
that money is not created by printing
presses, but by work; that every dol
lar represents work, physical or in
tellectual; that the number of dollars
grows in proportion as effort or work
grows, and not in proportion as effort
or work relaxes.
