UNCERTAINTY EXISTS OVER PROCEDURE IN
 RESTORING RELATIONS
By Associnted Press

Berlin, May 1.-The dispatches an nouncing the passage by the United States of the Knox resolution ending the state of war between the United States and Germany reached here too late to be printed in Sunday mornings papers and as there are no newspapers printed Monday morning, the news will not ne sent broadcast until tomorrow afternoon.
 representative of the Associated Press carried the news to the foreign office, where no official messages had been received.
 There is deal of uncertainty in American and German official circles as to what will be the exact procedure or the Washington government in restoring relations between the two countries and as to how long it probably will be before commercial and diplomatic relations are again normal. China refused to sign the Versailles treaty and declared peace with Germany more than year ago, but fall ure by Germany and China to perfect a treaty has prevented resumption or trade and the exchange of ministers ana cOnSulS

Church and State


 To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 The church is in more danger of put ting more faith in allegiance with the state than in the power of Christ when it seeks to secure better Sunday ob- servance through national and state laws.
 The present leaders in the campaign for Sunday laws may have pure mo t;ves, but they are organizing ecclesi- astical machines of great pawer and influence which men whose motives may not be so good, may later use in an oppressive and cruel way
 It might be well to read d little an cient church history before cultivdting too highly such ecclesiastical power and authority. The early Christian church split up into a number of di- vergent sects during the first three centuries of the Christian era. The same arguments were presented for church unity then as are presented now. The great church leaders met in holy conclave and finally during the fourth century perfected a com plete organic union of all the local congregations. This union was the mghtiest church force that was ever organized. It swept everything before it. No opposition could withstand it.
 It was not long before the churches thus federated sought legal recogni- tion for their doctrines and their re- lgion at the hands of the state. In the days of Constantine the great perfect union was formed between the federated churches and the state. Then in time the reign of terror and perse- cution began and during the centuries that followed multitudes of honest dis senters and nonconformists had to seal their testimony of loyalty to the truth

SOV|ETS HOPE ID OVERTHROW BRITISH
 CONTROL IN INDIA
By Associated Press

Washingtonu. May 1.-The policy of the soviet government in the near east and central Asia lis the overthrow of Brit ment charged in a letter transmitted by Sir Robert Horne to Leonid Krassin, bol- shevik emissary in London, simultan- eously with the signing of the trade agreement between the British and eo- viet governments. The text of the let ter was received in official circles tt- day.
 Activities on the part of the boIshevik in the regions of India and Afghanista1, were characterized in the letter as "iu- consistent with the stpulations in the agreement and the demand was made that they be brought to an end imme- diately if the agreement was to be held valid.
 The letter charged that the British government had the strongest reasons for believing that one of the main ob- jects, on the part of the soviet govern ment, of the negotiations between that government and Afghanstan. has been to secure facilities for attacks through Afghanistan against the peace of India. '
 It was stated that Suritz, Russian en- voy to Kubulin. Afghanistan, had ex- pressly offered assistance from the bol- shevik to Afghan tribes on the north west frontier of India, and has stipulated as one of the guarantees to be conceded by the Afghans safe transport of a large number of rifles and quantities of animu- milton for frontier tribes on the British side of the border.
 Described as an act of direct hostility to India" it was added, that such pro- visions were not to be tolerated by the Indian government as the arrival of arms and ammunition would by itself be almost sufficient to incite the tribes into turbulence and aggression on Indian territory"
 Not content with this probability but determined to make sure of the result, the letter charged that the soviet rep resentatives has established communica- tion with the more consistently anti British of the tribal leaders Continu- ing. it said that "Mahendra Partap, an Indian renegade who was German agent during the war and who accom- panied Suritz to Kabui, has been sim ilarly active among the tribes within as well as without British limits.
 Among other "self-convicted traitors mentioned as employed by the bolsheVil was Natu Key, who, it was charged, was head of an advance base at Tashkent for instructions of Indians in revolution ary tactics. There was also noted the sending of emissaries by the bolsheVlk into India ito investigate the posslbii- ities of revolutionary work.

GEORGIAN DENIES
 PEONAGE CHARGES Rich Laurens County Planter Says Deaths of Three Me-
 groes Duly Investigated
By Associated Press

Atlanta, May 1.-The plantation In southern Georgia where federal agents had been Investigating reports that at least three negroes had been killed to hide alleged peonage conditions in that of U. G. B. Hogan, wealthy planter of Naurens county, according to dispatches received here tonight from Dublin, Ga.
 The dispatches quoted the planter as declaring that he knew that such reports had been spread; that when the investl- gators came to the county he invited them to come to see him personally, and that the deaths of the negroes were i1 no wise connected with peonage and had been properly handled by officials of the law The reports were spread by ene- mics he had made in business affairs and in action and other trustees of church he had taken, he continued.
 Of the three negroes killed, he said, according to dispatches, one of them, John Robinson, was killed by officers Of the law in resisting arrest. The negro had shot at him, Hogan explained. lie took out warrant, he added, and it was in resisting service of the warrant that the negro was killed. Another negro, named Mincey, was killed on or near the farm some 10 years ago by a. negro named Robinson, and -the third negro, named Thomas, was drowned in well. All the cases had been investigated, he said.s
 The Hogan plantation comprises several thousand acres and is equipped with modern farm machinery and has often been described as one of the model farms of Georgia"
 Look at this," Hogan was quoted as saying, pointing across his many acres DO you think l would work for years to build up such a farm and then FISK losing it by killing negroes?"
 The plantation is owned by U. G. B. Hogan and his brother, R. c. Hogan, and is managed by the former. About 40 negroes are employed on the place, which works some 40 mules and num- Der of tractors and trucks.
 The federal bureau of investigation here has not yet made any statement regarding it's investigation.

Breaks Land Clearing Record

total of over lS,OU0 acres of iand in Marinette county. Wisconsin were cleared during the season of 1920. This is record, and the increase will rep resent at least s1,000,t00 per yeaf iil crops. Considerable organization was necessary to put over a job of this size so quickly, and the progressive farmers in the neighborhood went at.it in earnest The closing of the immense task was marked by a great blast of an acre of stumps near wausaukee. At this point 15s sticks of dynamite were set off simultaneously as an electric impulse was transmitted by a presid- ing official who closed a switch. Many people interested in the project aided in devisng the various methods em- ployed, which saved s125,000 in costs for materials, to do the work, says Popular Mechanics Magazine in an ii- lustrated article. A land clearing school and 5T educational meetings were part of the campaign that made their efforts so successful, and ex- plosives to the extent of 14 carloads were used in the undertaking.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

by their own blood at the stake, on the rack and under the ax of the execu- ticner
 The church intoxicated with civil power, went from one extreme to the other. with the result that the long night known in history ae the Dark Ages was ushered in. Human nature has not changed. The natural heart is still selfish, covetous, barbarous, and inclined to absolute power
 No one can shut his eyes to the dan ger signals that are looming ahead. What is to become of those who are so unfortunate as to be excluded rom the inner circle and who, perchance, see no light in joining the compact? What will be the attitude of the World League of Religions as 1t IS even now stded, toward the little fel- lows who dare to exercise the divine right of dissent? Is there not as much and more danger in a World League of Religions as in World League of Nations? Such a combination of eccle- siestical power centralized in su- preme council or "super-head," Is as inimical to the welfare of Christian democracies as is a super government of absolute power to the welfare and independence of political democracies. It IS hl2n tune that Sonepouy SouHu a note of warning, and point out the danger signals in the League of Churches as well as the League of Ma tions.
 What are now harmless petitions may become presently relentless man. dates, demanding obedience at the price of conscience or blood. WherN is the balance of power that will se- cure us against absolutism? It is one, and servitude only remains. Very sin cerely yours, MRS. A. HELMS.
