Praying Tobacco
League Proposed

1t has remained for the Rev. john
McClanahan, Of Augusta, to pro-
pose the most remarkable solution
Of the current tobacco problem yet
to offered. He proposes a league for
which preachers shall be mission
aries, and from the pulpit they
would be expected to urge enlistment
in the organization. Contracts would
be posted in all church houses. Sue
cess of the move would be predicat-
ed on prayer. Mr.. McClanahan say
ing, $50 the prayers of all will be
the prayers of one man, and then
we will get the blessing" He pro-
poses that tobacco shall be graded
and labeled to sell at from $40 to
$50. He recommends that preach
ers make talks to the buyers on the
breaks. Manufacturers would be
asked to keep the growers advised
as to how much tobacco to produce.
"May God help all preachers who
fall in line with this and help suf-
fering humanity" is the prayer Of
the author of the plan.

IOHN WANAMAKER

John WANAMAKER says: eff
J there is one business on earth that
'quitter' should leave severely alone,
it is advertising"
Advertising is the power which
creates sales and builds business. The
natural time to increase advertising is
during what are termed "dull" times.
In this way wise merchants, by
using little extra advertising effort,
keep their sales volume up to normal.

ALLIED COUNCIL
 WORK IS HALTED
LLOYD GEORGE AND BRITISH ElsSloN HAVE RETURNED
 TO LONDON.

Paris.-The French and British prime ministers are far from agree ment regarding the new line dividing Upper Silesia, drawn by the experts appointed for this purpose, by them. Therefore the work of the Supreme Council which has had under advise men+ the Silesian problem, cannot be completed for the present, nor is it possible to forecast the outcome of the differences which have arisen.
 MT. Lloyd George, upon receiving the Irish reply to the British peace proposals, by air courier this after noon and finding that the Silesian sit uatton promised new difficulties, said he could remain no longer in Paris, but would return to London for 8 cabinet meeting, leaving Lord Curzon and the experts behind to continue work with the other members of tn council.
 The Italian delegates made an effort to bring about settlement at a din her at which MT. Lloyd George wa. present, but a member of the Italian delegation informed the Associated Press correspondent after the dinner that developments had reached such point that there was very little that the Italians or any other mediators could do to alter the situation until after the meeting of the French cabi- net. The Italian delegation is remain ing in Paris in the expectation of at. tending another meeting of the Su- preme Council, possibly Saturday
 The British delegation issued the following statement after the disagree ment became known:
 "The experts have rendered their report pointing out certain townships which are inseparahly connected. Ger tain differences of opinion have de- vSloped between the British and Ital- ians on one side and the French on the other, and the proposal of the British and Italians now will be con sidered by the French government, which in due course will indicate it's views"

IRELAND WILL NOT
 ACCEPT PROPOSALS
DUBLIN IS GIVEN TO UNDER, STAND THAT SECESSION IS
 NOT POSSIBLE.

London.-Eamonn de Valera, leader of the Irish republicans, has refused to accept the proposals of the British government constituting dominion government and having as their object the bringing about of peace in Ire land He declares the conditions sought to be imposed constitute in reference in Irish affairs and con- trol which cannot be permitted.
 On the other hand Mir. Lloyd George has informed MT. de Valera that there can be no compromise on the ques- tion of the right of Ireland to seeede from her allegiance to the king The premier tells MT de Valera that the conditions of the proposed settlement contains no desire on the part of Great Britain for British ascendency over IreiaRd and the impairment of Ireland's national ideals.
 Our proposals present to the Irish people, says the premier, ean op- portunity such as never has dawned in their history before. We have made them in sincere desire 10 achieve peace, but beyond them we cannot go.'
 MT Lloyd George leaves open the door for possible further negotiations with MT. de Valera by saying that the government will discuss the apoliea- tions of the principles of its offer whenever acceptance of the principles Is communicated to him.
 Simultaneously with the making public of the correspondence between Lloyd George and MT. de Valera a note to the premier signed by Sir James Craig, the Ulster leader, was published. This note, after declaring the loyalty of the people of Ulster to the empire, says that in the interest of peace they consented to the estab- lishment of a parliament in northern Ireland, and now are carrying out their part of that compact, while the southern Irishmen have chosen to repudiate the government of Ireland &ct and press Great Britain for wider powers" It adds that to join in such pressure would be repugnant to the people of northern Ireland.

Washington.-The hope of As, can officials that the disar,aa s'.usil conference will be diplomats +lell claye of the first order was sfraa'a sul' ened when France informed tba s'u O.. Department that she would send 'a's a premier, Aristide Briand. at tba ha, ~, of her delegation of diplomatists

 The French notification came in l.. form of a message from Premior pr and himself, transmitted throupb l1. American embassy at Paris sarirs merely that the premier would fsgs pleasure in personally representa- his country at the conference r w.s the first formal acceptance to ba v ceived from any of the invited no tions.s
 Meanwhile the administrations ma paration of it's own part in the eor. ference was advanced by a request sent to Congress for an appropriation of $200,000 as an initial budget to nav expenses of the American represeDta. tiyes and of a secretariat general The estimate, worked out by the State De partment and the budget bureau WAS taken under committee consideration immediately in the Senate and prObs. bly, will receive favorable action in the near future.
 The sum fixed in the request and the data accompanying it apparently disposed of any expectation that this government would pay expenses of any of the visiting delegations for Congress was informed specifically that the money was to be used for the American delegation and for the sec retariat general alone. It was indi cated that later appropriation would be asked should the printing bill ey ceed present expectations, or should the conference last more than two months.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS ARE PRE- PAIRING TO ATTACK THE
 MEASURE.
REDUCTION IS GRADUATED
Repeal of Excess Profits and Surfaces For 1922 Will Not Be Reflected Until Collections Are Made
 in 1923.

Washington. " The nations tax bill will be cut s193, ,64O,O0O this fiscal year, $337, 100000 in the calendar year 1922 and $79O,330,000 in 1923, Chair man Fordney of the Ways and Means Committee said in the maojrity report explaining the tax revision bill framed by Republican committeeman.
 Without disputing these figures, Democrats of the House prepared in caucus for an attack on the Republi- can measure, which they plan to brand ss rich mans bill Their views are to be incorporated in minority analysis, attacking the means by which reductions were achieved
 Meantime the Rules Committee re- ported rule to put the bill through the House, the measure having been formally reported by the Ways and Means Committee, with the Demo- crats voting solidly against it.
 Chairman Fordney insisted in the majority report that the policy of the bill was reducing rather than shift ilty tax burdens" Applying to indi- Yiaual taxpayers the net difference of S790, ,330 600 between losses and gains, MT. Fordney said they represent a re- 6duction of ST per capita, "or a saving to the average family of $35 year"
 Since the repeal of the excess prof. it's tax and the reduction of surtax rates on individual incomes do net be- come effective until 1922, MT Ford ney said $406, ,25O,000 of the contem- plated loss of revenue will not be re- fected in revenue collections before the calendar year 1923 Mr Fordney quoted two former Democratic seere- taries of the reasury-Glass and Houston-as urging repeal of these levies.
