3. Supplies and machines not to be
secured on the spot would be imported
from Germany as well as necessary

and under French control.
Z. The Allies win decide who the con-

or whether through or with private en-
terprlse.
The big concession made by the Ger
man trade unions was In the sixth point

contractor approved by the Allies. In
previous proposals they always refused
to consider any other scheme than di-
rect contact and cooperation between
French and German trade unions and
with the German Government and not
admitting either French or German pri-
waite firms as contractors. =

women of the Children's Bureau would
dictate" to American mothers and Of
fered an amendment to change the title
to "a bill to organize board Of I'M

roll call.
Senator Kenyon. Republican (Towa).
in charge of the bill, deplored sarcastic
references. while Senator Sheppard.
Democrat (Texas), author of the meas
ure, declared there would be no compul-
sion in the activities of Federal agents
and no Invasion Of the home"
Senator Warren. chairman of the APP
preparations Committee, said the bill
would be "a drain on the Treasury"
Similar reasons for his opposition were
given by Senator Borah. who called at
tention to the statement of Senator PEN
rose that hopes for reducing taxes were
waning Senator Borah said he believed

ditures should be disallowed by Con-
gress.
Savings of $112.000.000 proposed by
Director Dawes Of the budget. Senator
Borah said, were followed Immediately
by requests of $300,000.000 for the Ship
ping Board, whose deficiencies, Senator
Borah said were due to 'inefiiciency. or
what may be worse. crookedness."
Senator Smoot (Rep.. Utah). oppos-
ing administration OF the bill by the
Public Health Service, said that agency
was breaking down as fast as possi-
bie." and that its military direction
should be supplanted by civilian control.

FORDNEY TARIFF HITS
FISHERMEN'S RIGHTS
Might EUen Bar NeU England
Boats in Schooner Race.

MONTREAL, July 22.-Belief that the
passage OF the permanent tariff bill now
before the United States Congress would
result in Canadian and American ves-
sells being deprived Of rights now en-
joyed in the Atlantic fisheries Is ex-
pressed In letter received here to-day
from NJ. II. Nickerson, Commissioners OF
Fisheries for Nova Scotia. who Is now
In Boston.
The result of the bill will be, he
thinks, that the present modus vivendi
governing the fisheries will lapse and
that fishing vessels of one country will
be excluded from the ports Of the other
unless in distress In this connection
the question might arise whether a New
England fishing schooner could enter
Halifax next fall to take part in the
scheduled international race.

Paris, July 22.
The problem of whether the devas-

stored by the use of German material
will be decided by the Presidents of the
affected departments themselves and not
by the French Parliament. 1t was an

Minister of the Liberated Regions, had

Contractors in Saxony and Lower

In April tentative proposals from

already enviable reputation in pro

may be, which accounted for the con-

The Bridgers' Tent Meeting.

Rev. Luther B. Bridgers arrived in
Edgefeld Saturday night and
preached his first sermon of the re-
vival services Sunday morning. Mr..
h. S. jenkins, the song leader, ar
rived Monday and at once took charge
of the singing. Twice each day Mr..
Bridgers has preached earnest, force
full sermons to steadily increasing
crowds. Already the Methodist church
has proved inadequate in seating
those who desire to attend the SER
vices, but this situation will be re-
lieved as soon as the large tent which
was ordered Monday by telephone
from Atlanta arrives. 1t was shipped
by express out of Atlanta Monday
afternoon an dis expected on every
incoming train. A large committee
selected from all the churches of the
town is waiting to act as minute men
/ in erecting the tent without mo-
ment's delay. 1t is very probable
that the tent will be used for to-
nights service. We feel confident that
Ithe meeting will prove to be of much
spiritual benefit to the entire commu-
nifty. While the meeting was project
ed by the Methodists, all of the
churches and all of the people of
Edgefeld have been invited to par
ticipate, making it in the fullest
sense community revival. This in
vitation which was extended by Rev.
G. w. M. Taylor has been accepted,
and representatives from all the
churches, as shown by the personnel
of the committees published in this
issue, are actively at work on the
committees. The people from john
ston, Trenton and the rural commu-
mites are invited and urged to at
tend. The weather being favorable,
the roads good and gasoline cheap
er, there is no good reason why this
should not be in every sense a
COUNTY REVIVAL MEETING.
Let's make it so.
Later: TIE tent has arrived and will
be ready for tonight's service.
