DISPATCHES from Paris indicate d
strong probability Of the renewal or the
war with Germany about the first OF
May or pretty soon thereafter. Ihal
renarations question has never been
settled yet. The bill Of the Allies IS
still in process Of compilation, ana Inc
Germans have not up to this time un-
dertaken to meet such demands as
have already been. made. French ana
British occupation Of the Ruhr olstrict
does not appear to have accomplished
the result anticipated as the customs
that are being collected are hardly
sufficient to pay military expenses
without regard to major claims. Inc
Germans are protesting the figures OIL
the renarations commission as being
three times as great as are warranted
bv nre-war values. The French are
still mortally afraid of Germany, ana
il is claimed that there is a secret
treaty between France and England 10
make Germany pay. The indications
,ro that France, intends to occupy
st;u larger section Of German terrl-
to,,v and there is a belief that such oc-
cupation may result in military resist
ancG. While there is II posslDiiit! 'l'''
Tho matter may be adjusted, still there
Us no,uuestion OF the fact that the si'-
udtion is very serious.

1t is a very difficult matter for the
average man to comprehend the service
that southern banks have rendered ana
are rendering the people of the south
in preventing the sacrifice of the cot
ton crops. To most people the sltua77
ton looks hard, and some individuals
perhaps entertain feeling that the
banks have not been generous with
them. Except for the banks OF the
country the present crop would nave
sold for less than cents pound, ana
if the situation is finally worked out
as it will be, the country, is gong 10
have the banks to thank for it. PROB
ably never in the history of any coun-
trv have banks carried such load as
southern banks have carried this year
and never before have banks been more
genuinely generous. There are those
who, without knowing OF caring what
they say, assert that the banks are 40
ing it because they have to. That IS
not true. With very few exceptions
the banks are able to take care OF
themselves, and if they were less gen
erous, they would be less mindful Oh
the welfare Of the country as Whole'

The recent action of the South Car
olina railroad commission in permit
ting an increase in telephone rates IN
the Piedmont section has raised quite
q row in Gre,anvillc, Anderson, Plckens
and other counties. Representatives IN
the general assembly are quite 1ndlg-
nant at the commission for permitting
an increase where they believed the
rates were already too high, ana some
Of them are urging as a remedy the
calling OF an extra session Of the gen
cral assembly for the purpose OF aool-
ishing the. railroad commission so far
as authority and salary are concerned

a matter Of fact there is very little use

A little Washington boy was dining

not so very long ago when charlotte
russes in paper collars were one of
the features of the dessert. The fluffy
delicacies tasted very much like

Is there anything else you'll have,
dear?" asked the hostess, solicitously.
Yes, ma'am," eagerly assented the
child. II want another of them pretty

One of the noveau richie women with
which Washington abounds said at a
tea the other afternoon, with a conse-
quential air, that really her neuritis
was getting so bad she was at her
wits end; she'd tried everything ex-

Forgers Use New Method.

An original touch in forgery is re-
ported by the Paris CORE
spondent of the London Daily Mail.
Making forged notes dirty in order
that they might look real ISL said to
have been the method adoptedlby four
men who have just been arrested at
Limoges on charge of connterfeiting
the small brown one-franc notes
(nominally 10d.) which are in circu-
lation in Paris owing to the shortage
of silver ones.
After printing off bundles Of notes
Of face value of $1,000, the men. 1t
Is stated, buried them In the ground
for fortnight. The notes then had u
crumpled and dirty appearance as II
they had been long time in use,
and were readily accepted. In some
cases the forged notes were accepted
In bundles Of so at local banks.
