Coca Cola Makes
Advance of TUO
Gents Per Glass

. Columbfans who went after their
mornings morning" at the soda foun-
tains this morning were disagreeably
surprised to find that the price of coca
cola had jumped over night from six
cents to eight cents. Ii is the biggest
advance ever made at one time in the
price of this popular beverage and it
is expected that as result the con
sumption will be at least temporarily
decreased. Many have already declar-
ed that they expect to abandon their

PUBLIC URGED TO !
STORE COAL NOW
TO AVOID FAMINE
SITUATION HAS NEVER BEEN so
BAD AT THIS SEASON OF
YEAR SAY DEALERS.
Nd RESERVE SUPPL HERE AT ALL
Mo One Need Delay Making Purchases
In Hope CT Lower Prices for They
viii Be From Fifty Cents to Dol.
lar a Ton Higher Next Winter.

That the coal situation will be even
worse next winter than it was during
the past winter, is the opinion OF the
coal dealers of Columbia who are
urging the people to buy and store as
far as possible their winter needs 1t
is stated that heretofore the coal deal
efs have begun in March to store coal
for the next winters demand, this
spring opens without a bushel OF coal
on hand. There is no reserve stock
of any kind condition almost II not
quite without any precedent in the
history of the city.
With no reserve stocks at the be-
ginning of the winter it would simply
be impossible for the dealers to get
coal to supply the demand. Even If
every one buys and stores to the ex.
tent of his storage capacity during the
summer, it is going to be a difficult
matter, to supply the necessities for
coal in the coming winter. Many con-
Germs simply cannot store their en-
tire winters needs and must make
some purchases as storage space
comes available.
There has not been time in Co
lumbia since July !, when the dealers
her could supply the demand for coal.
An inadequate supply has been par
celled out among the people so that
all have had some coal, but the deal.
ers have on file many untitled orders,
or other orders that were only par
TALLY filled
More than that there is absolutely
no incentive this time for dealers to
wait until winter to buy their coal
because of cheaper prices. The prices
will be cheaper from now until the
end of summer by from fifty cents a
ton or more than they will be after
that time. Not only will purchasing
coal now assure Better supply when
it is needed, but the difference in
prices will pay splendid interest on
the investment.

ONE OF OLDEST
SOCIETY OF THE METHODIST
CHURCH THERE WAS ORGANIC
ED IN 1870.
TWO CHARTER MEMBERS LIVING
Superintendent of Publicity Tells How

Constantine pages" Himself

Partly at least, recognizing the hornets nest
to which he returns, King Constantine appeals to
the people of the United States. In this he is
true to form. Every King and every state that
rides folly to fall, turns here for help and SYM
pathy.
Proudly he proclaims that he is an elected King
Needing certificate of character, even in that
role, he declares: 81 have never been pro- German
nor was l well disposed to Germany in the war"
In the pose of popular recall and loyal friend,
he pages" himself. Unhappily for him, his record
bellies his words. In 1915 he encouraged Bulgaria
to German alliance by telling her minister: "We
going to act now with Austria and Germany It
would, therefore, be suicide if, in opposing you,
we declared against two great powers"
Greece refused to fulfill her treaty with Serbia
when attacked by Bulgaria She saw her treaty
violated and Serbia overrun Later she let Bulgaria
occupy part of her territory in a war measure
against the allies.
A whole division of Greek troops surrendered
to the Bulgarians and interned in Germany.
Constantine alone responsible for this He
opposed Venizelos solely because of the latter's
policy of friendship with Germany's enemies
He was in constant correspondence with Ber-
lin. He urged an attack on the French and Ital-
ians through his own northern provinces, proms-
ing to attack with his troops from the south.
In the earliest days of the war he wired to Ber-
lin: "The Emperor knows that MY personal SYM
pathies and political opinions draw toward
him." He did not change to the day the French
were forced to drive him as an enemy, from his
throne. But anybody can lie to the United States.

For calmness to remember

Geneva, 1920,

(( rs only half league" objected smart
hecker in the summer of 1919. at is only
half league" Lord Robert Cecil replied,
but it's half league onwardP' Lord Roberts re-
tort, then based upon the theory of the covenant
IS borne out by the actual performance of the as
sembly now sitting in Geneva.
To the Armenians it is matter of desperate
concern whether they are to be protected by the
leagues Intervention To the Poles it is professedy
matter of life death that plebiscites in outy-
ing areas should be honestly conducted And it is
essential to the economic rehabilitation of Europe
that plans should be speedily worked out looking
toward general disarmament
Yet, though the assembly should adjourn
and leave every of these important questions to
the tender mercies of powerless and perfunctory
commission, one single achievement of the Geneva
session would justify the leagues existence
The long-standing secret processes of diplomacy
have been dealt stunning blow. Never before in
the history of International relations have represen
tatives OF sovereign states stood on their feet to
shout from the housetops what they are accustomed
to insinuate in closets and corridors Viviani the
matchless orator of France, has let loose flood of
frank opinion calculated to wash dust and cobwebs
from the high rafters of European chancelleres.
Lord Robert Cecil has thrust his tall, gaunt
STOPPING figure and his courageous spirit up against
the bulk of his prime minister. And certain
Honorio Pueyrredon, of Argentna-one of the So
called minor states!-has had the "efrontery" to
propose that all nine members of the council of the
league should be elected by the assembly, and that
reserved seats should be kept in perpetuity for
the principal allied and associated powers"
Why the Irish "agin' the league" is a mys-
tery. For South Africa, through Cecil, is making
life miserable for Lloyd George; Barnes, the British
labor delegate, is at odds with Fisher. his colleague
Australia and New Zealand embarrassing West
minister with their insistence white" anti
Japanese policy.
Altogether, Geneva looks like a Donny-
brook Fair than the still abiding place of the dove
of peace Open covenants not openly arrived
at to the accompaniment of beer and skittles Di-
plomacy proceeding always frankly and in the pub
lie view is not the solemn professional that Presi
dent Wilson may have pictured.
But forty-two members of the league are having
an honest try at it, stripped of pomp and circum-
stance 1t may prove, in the end, to be too human
thing for the "so-called human race" but this
year of Geneva 1920 will loom bigger in the story
of international relations than any dreary cycle of
the dusty diplomacy OF Cathay.
