The stage is being set for early pas
sage of the Knox resolution. Unless
emergency tariff hearings get in the
way, it seems likely now that the simple
declaration that The United States is
again at peace with the Central Powers
and reserves all rights existing before
the war and accruing to il as result OF
the war will be ready for the Presidents
signature within ten days.
Senator Lodge tMass.) said the Sen
ate Committee on Foreign Relations
would meet Thursday and that there
would be no hesitancy in reporting out
the Knox resolution.
Under the rules a day must elapse
after a report before a resolution can
be taken up. but the expectation is that
quick action will be had. Speed is de-
sired by the President and his wishes
ere being closely consulted in both
houses

Of the war matured, it became con-

PREMIER BRAND
WELCOMED TO j. s.
FOR ARMS MEETING

NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-France is
ready to join in every endeavor to
avert new wars provided she has
nothing to fear for her own security,
which remains one of the most solid
guarantees of the peace of the
world" said Premier Aristide BRAND
in a message to the American people
upon his arrival today to attend the
armament conference at Washing
ton.
Just because, she had to suffer
from the war more than any other
nation" he added, "she is ready to
approach the problem of the confer
ence in the most favorable spirit for
the maintenance of peace.
Between France and the United
States of America there is no room
for any difference, however slight.
Both our countries only endeavor to
lead the men and peoples of good will
to peaceful and fruitful work and to
reduce more and more the risks of
war.
To-day, the world, which is in
such need Of safety and rest, wants
not only soothing words, but reali-
ties"
A crowd gave the premier and his
party rousing welcome as they
stepped ashore from the steamship
Lafayette. Official welcoming cere-
monies, which marked the arrival of
other delegations to the conference,
were curtailed to allow M. BRAND to
go to Washington at once.

SELMA, Ala, Nov. 5.-Some six
years ago when the shadow of the
boil weevil, like a blight, swept
across the Mississippi state line and
darkened the Alabama horizon, the
Selma Chamber of Commerce en-
barked upon an enterprise to save
the situation that was at the time
aggravated by the ''buy-a-bale"
movement.
The encourage cement of the pro-
duction of dairy cattle and the sale
of dairy products through a cream
cry at Selma, was the course select
ed for meeting condition which
spelled utter and absolute ruin un-
less satisfactory means were adopt
ed for relieving it.
That was in the spring of 1915,
and in the six years that have in
tervened dairying has supplanted
cotton as the chief agricultural ac-
tivity of Dallas county, which prior
to the advent of the boil weevil and
the mich cow was the greatest cot

the greatest in the world.

VESTS ALLEGED
SHORTAGE $4,000.

Governor Hardwick on Monday an
nounced that Haskins & Sells, &C
countants, who have been engaged in
auditing the financial accounts of
the executive offices to ascertain the
amount of the shortage charged
against Claude West, executive Sec
rotary to three Georgia governors,
have made an oral report of their
findings. The written report will
be submitted later this week.
Shortage amounting to $4,000 has
been definitely established in Mr..
Vests accounts, the auditors de-
clare. In addition to this sum, there
are other items aggregating between
$4,000 and $1,000 which may or may
not be explained by the former ex-
ecutive secretary, says the report to
the governor.
The written report Of the auditors
will contain certain suggestions as to
changes in the system of handling
warrants drawn by the governor and
it is understood that these changes
if practicable, will be made at once,
providing it can be done without leg
islative action.
Mr.. West is now under indictment
on three counts-two charging forg-
cry anG one charging larceny after
trust. He has made bond in the sum
o $4,000 and it is understood that
an effort is being made by him and
his friends to make good any short

Weeks Seeks Help
OF Legion in Fight
On Watson Charge

WASHINGTON, Nov. THE
American Legion was asked by the
war department today to lend it's as
sistance in obtaining all facts relat-
ing to the charges made by Senator
Watson, of Georgia, that soldiers
were shot and hanged frequently
without court-marial during the war.
Secretary Weeks appealed to Han
ford MacNider, commander of the
American Legion, asking the assist
ance of his organization in order to
make public all records and informa-
ton relating to the senator's allega-
tons.
After quoting the senator's charges
as printed in the Congressional Rec
ord of October 81, the secretary said:
"The foregoing statement coming
so long after the commission of the
alleged crimes, constitutes a ref1eflc-
ton upon the entire personnel of the
American expeditionary forces. 1
consider the public entitled to all the
facts which it is within the power
of my office to produce. If there
possibly exists any basis for such. an
allegation, the responsible persons
should bear the odium. Otherwise,
definite refutation is desirable.
''The war department will make
available all of it's records and such
as may come from per-
sons under it's control. However,
such persons constitute but a small
percentage of those who served over
seas, and who have been attacked.
II request that the American Le-
gion lend it's assistance toward OBJ
tanning all facts bearing upon the is
sue which has been raised"

Harding Is Scored
For Bonus Attitude

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.-Pres-
dent Harding was assailed in, the
senate Saturday by Senator Stan
sy, Democrat, Kentucky, for what
lie described as the "order" given
% the senate to recommit the SOL
iier bonus bill.
Senator Stanley declared there
was only one power on earth that
:ould have made the president
turn his back" on the the 4,000,-
100 former service men. That
power, he said, was "the silent
nsidious power of mammon; that
knew what it could do; that un-
1erstood it's authority"

EVERY NAVAL ITEM
GIVEN Up u BYzU. s.
MUST BE BALANCED
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
Ucased Wire Service to Tho Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920

WASHINGTON, Nov. 7.-Ameri-
cas- program for limitation of naval
armament has been practically
agreed upon. The details remain to
be shaped-the fundamentals are
clear. They are:
First, for every naval item given
up by the, United States there shall
be an equl valent/ given up by other
naval powers.
Second, the present ratio Of naval
strength shall be maintained in the
sense that the United States shall
not be placed in a weaker position
toward other powers than she is at
the moment.
Third, the British having accepted
the principle Of equality with the
United States, the disparity in
strength between the two navies
shall, at least, not be increased.
Meaning of Elimination"
Fourth, the phrase Limitation of
armament is held to mean that all
the nations shall be permitted to fin
ish the building programs which
they already have authorized. RE
ductior of armament" is held to
mean that vessels, still in commits
sion but growing obsolete, shall be
scrapped and the tax burdens reduc
ed by an agreement not to replace
these ships but to economic by elm
mating the expense of keeping up
old vessels.
Fifth, a definite understanding by
all powers as to exactly what is
meant by the term Replacement"
with respect to vessels now in first
class condition, but which may
eventually become inferior in value
to new types of naval craft which
may be designed in the future.
Sixth, in considering naval
strength, there shall be included
merchant marine and all auxiliary
vessels which can be possibly con-
verted into warships in an emer-
gency as well as all bases fortified
and unfortified which could be used
in naval operations.

colonel's wishes. Personally II
would have been pleasanter for the
president to grant the colonel's re-
quest, but President Wilson has new
err adopted "the easiest way"
A great deal of criticism was heap
ed upon the president for what ap-
peared to the outside as his refusal
to send General Leonard Wood to
France. Although a fierce storm of
criticism beat upon him, the preaf-
dent displayed no resentment, nor,
indeed, did he seem to notice what
his critics were saying.
AS a matter of fact, the President
played no part in the movement to
keep General Wood from realizing
his ambition to lead his division to
France. General Wood was not sent
to France for the good and sufficient
reason that Gen. John J. Pershing,
commander of the Expeditionary
forces, did not ask to have him sent,
which, to the president. who was
ever ready to act upon any sugges-
ton of General Pershing, was a plain
indication that he was neither need
ed nor wanted in France. The de.
