diers under fire, full of dramatic and
thrilling scenes.
These pictures were taken by the
Signal Corps of the United States
army. They portray actual happen
ings in the war, and are part of the
history of it. They are the official
production of our government.
Few Americans besides thoes who
went "Over There" have gained any
real idea of what the war was like.
By reason of the censorship, the av-
erage man had a vague notion of the
war and what it meant. He could not
take the time to work out the sig
nificance of army communiques and
trace the progress of our embattled
heroes.
The editor of this paper has seen
these historical pictures which are be-
ing displayed here, and the paper
urges our people, young and old to
avail themselves of this opportunity
to the World War visualized for
them. This newspaper wishes that
all the boys and girls in Greenville
could see it and SO have impressed
upon their memory for all the years
to come these true portraits.
1t is part of the worlds greatest
drama, revealed more faithfully than
all the masters could paint it and
more wildly than all the historians
could write IL

Washington, Feb. 6.-When the
Washington conference went out
of existence today it left a dozen
legatees in the form of commissions
and other international bodies
which again will bring the repre-
sentatives of the powers together
to discuss world problems.
Besides many general agree
ments to consult among themselves
when troublesome questions arise,
the governments represented here
authorized specifically, among 9TH
er things, five power conference

naval armament, five power COM
mission to review the rules of war
fare, a Especial conference" and a
separate revision commission to
regulate the Chinese tariff" a
board of reference for questions in
the Far East and an international
commission to inquire into extra
territorial rights in China.
Only two duties are bequeathed
to the secretary general of the. ex-
piring conference and it is the ex-
pectation of officials that the secre-
tary generals Office will wind up
these tasks and finally close its
doors in the very near future. It
has merely to compile and have
printed the corrected minutes Of
the plenary sessions and committee
meetings and to act as clearing
house through which the various
nations will inform each other fully
as to their existing commitments
affecting China. This information
is to be filed with the secretary
general for transmission to all con-
ference members "at the earliest
convenience" and similar commit
ments entered into in future are to

ed seduction, filed by Miss Frances
C. Birkhead against Lee M. Rus
sell governor, of Mississippi, in the
United States district court here
today, according to prominent Off
cials "presages one of the bitterest
and most sensational episodes in all
the series of legal and political
wars for which the state. has been
noted"
Miss Birkhead, who now resides
in New Orleans, was, a stenograph-
er in Mr.. Russell's office here while
he was serving as lieutentant gov
ernor. She charges that she was be-
trayed by the present chief execu-
tive with avowals Of Glove and
promises of marriage, after he
could get a divorce from his wife" +"
Her petition, names prominent
Mississippians as being acquainted
with her relations with Governor
Russell.
In her bill of particulars, which
was filed by Attorney Thomas Fos-
ter Of Vicksburg, Miss Birkhead
asks for $4,000 on each of two
counts. The first, alleged seduction
recounts that she was persuaded to
"yield to his will and that as a re-
suit the plaintiffs reputation and
character were ruined and she was
caused to lose her employment
and her health was ruined, to her
great damage in the sum of $780,
OO0."
In the second count Miss Birk-
head alleges she underwent an op-
Grafton "at the instigation of Gov
ernor Russell, which totally ruined
and wrecked her health, causing
her to suffer untold anguish and
pain, and that she is. now an in
valid and must remain so the rest
of her life" For this she asks $780,

CARDINAL RATT|
BECOMES NEW POPE
ARCHBISHOP OF MILAN BE.
COMES Plus NI-AMERIcAN
CARDINALS ARRIVE TOO
LATE TO TAKE PART IN
ELECTION

London, Feb. 6.-Cardinal Ratti
was elected Pope by receiving 38
votes in the conclave of the Sacred
College says Central News dis
patch from Rome this afternoon.
Rome, Feb. 6.-Cardinal Achilli
Ratti, archbishop of Milan, was
proclaimed elected Pope in success
sion to the late Benedict XIV this
morning. He has taken the name of
Plus XII.
The thousands waiting in front
of St. Peters for the wisp of smoke
which would tell Of the election Of
new Pope or the failure of the
Sacred College to reach decision
gave a mighty shout at II :33
O'Clock when a thin wisp Of smoke
came from the chimney leading
from the Sistine chapel. 1t was then
known that the Catholic church. had
once more a duly elected Pontiff.
AS soon as the two-thirds vote
for Cardinal ,Ratti had been veri-
fed, Cardinal Vannutelli, as dean
of the Sacred College, arose and
proceeded to the throne of the
chosen one, accompanied on either
side by Cardinal Logue and Bisteli
respectively deans Of the Cardinal
priests and the Cardinal deacons.
He was asked in Latin by Cardinal
Vannutelli in accordance with Gus
tom, if he accepted the election to
be supreme pontiff, and the new
Pope answered with the formal:
"Since it is the will Of God, I must
obey"
Then the purple canopies over
the thrones of the Cardinals were
let down, one by one, until only
that over the new Pontiff remain
ed. This was done to show that the
whole Sacred College rendered
obeisance to the new head Of the
church.
Dean Vannutelli thereupon ask
ed the new incumbent what name
he chose to take during his pontifi-
cate and upon his reply "Pius XII"

Craig, the Ulster premier, and the
members of his cabinet, and finally
late this evening = between Sir

a solution of the difficulty over the
question of fixing the Ulster boun-
Diary apparently : had not been
found.
Statements issued tonight by Mi
chael Collins, head Of the provision

Ulster premier, indicate that they
still are far from an agreement.
Parliament reassembles tomor-

ems embarrassment to the govern

ed that Mr.. Lloyd George will COM
ment on his interviews with MIR.
Collins and Sir James Craig in the
course of his speech before the
house of commons tomorrow.
Further disorders in Ireland
were reported today, most serious
of which was cattle driving on a
large scale in the sTipperary dis
trict. Early Sunday large numbers
of cows, sheep and horses were
driven off several estates, the OBJ
ject apparently being to compel
owners to break up grazing lands.
Notices signed Captain Moon
shine" were posted stating that
any one found driving the cattle
back or repairing the walls and
gates would meet with instant
death. The Irish Republican army
has announced his intention of Sc
verely Furnishing the perpetrators.

of educational meetings will be
held. Ten meetings will be held in
the county and some of the best
speakers available will be sent to

rector, said this morning that it

editor of The Progressive Farmer,
would be one of the speakers and
that w. w. Long, director of ex-
tension, Clemson College, also
might consent to come.
The camapign is on in full swing
in Greenwood county. Darlington
county signed up nearly 10000
bales last week and all indications
are that the contracts will become
effective May /, which is dependent
IN the signing of 100000 bales.
Mr.. Hill says that many farmers
have shown interest in the move
and that they will sign the contract
before the time expires. Mr.. Hill
had planned to get his drive under
way a week or two ago, but bad
weather and bad roads made this
impracticable.
