TO PARAGUAY

Asuncion, July 11.-(Correspond-
ence Associated Press Paraguay
viii become the Mecca and home of
Mennonites from the United States
and other parts of the world. if a bill
sent to the chamber of deputies by
President Gondra becomes a law.
Delegates Of the sect who arrived
here some time ago from the United
States have negotiated for the pur-
chase of about 5000 square miles of
land in the great Paraguayan Chaco
for purposes of colonization condition
al upon the Paraguayan government
granting privileges which viii permit
them to condnct the colony in con
formity with the tenets of their relig-
ion and their system of common ad-
ministration of their properties, called
"Walsenhurst."
President Gondra has recommended
to the house that these concessions be
made, which include the exemption of
the Mennonites from military service
either in peace or in war, the pro
hibition of the sale of alcoholic bev-
erages in their territory, the right to
establish their own schools, which
would be conducted in the German
language, and in addition, the priv
ilege of importing free of duty house
hold articles and agricultural imple-
ments for period of ten years.
The president says that the estab-
lishment of the colony would be be-
ginning of the solution of the prob
lem Of populating the republic and
augmenting its productive capacity,
there being vast stretches of uninhab-
itated territory of great productive
value. He accompanied his recon-
mendations with a history Of the Men
nonites, reciting their quail Of in
dustry, self-discipline ana collective
virtue
The delegates have notified the gov
ernment that upon the approval Of
the measure more than 1000 Men
nonites in the United States, Canada

SOUTHERN STATES
SEEM STUBBORN
Persist in Maintaining an Attitude of
Injured Innocence in Regard
to PelIagra
tAssociated press,

Washington, Aug. 4.-The pellagra
situation was discussed in closed
session here today at conference be-
tween health officials from southern
states and Surgeon General Cumming
of the Public Health Service Some
of the state officials said as they en-
tered the conference room they would
dispute any claim that the disease
had reached serious proportions in
their territory The information of
the federal government as to condi-
tions, they contended. was incomplete
and did not accurately picture condi-
tions. DR.. Cummins said he hoped to
get first hand information from state
officials and map our a concerted
course of action. The conference was
caleld after President Harding re-
quested public health and Red Cross
officials to take measures to meet the
threatened ravages of pellagra in the
South.

On his hind legs, carefully unfastened
the net and left. Davey didn't have
such bad luck, after all, for there

net"
