Peace League Holds Germans
Not Solely Responsible for
World Tragedy.
CLAIRE HEILMAN,

At the final meeting OF the Won
ans international League for Peace
and Freedom yesterday at the
Grace Dodge Hotel 1t was resolved
that ''there has been a false as
sumption that Germany and her al
lies were solely responsible for the
war" Donald Lloyd George, former
premier Of England, was quoted az
saying that the war twas some
thing into which they England
glided or rather staggered and
stumbled"
In accordance with the resolu-
lions passed at the emergency con-
ference for new peace, held at
The Hague December 5 to Z. the
section for the United States ex-
pressed a general demand for q
revision Of the Versailles treaty. It
was brought out by members that
this demand for a new peace waf
based on the facts which have been
disclosed showing that there has
been a false assumption that Ger
many and her allies were SOLELY
responsible for the war"
Documents Cited.
The Kautsky and Coos documents
recently found in the German and
Austrian archives, with other new
information, demonstrate that the
Austrian minister OF foreign affairs
deceived both Francis Joseph and
the Kaiser Ex-premier Nitti In
his recent book, 1.-THE Wreck OF
Europe" shows how Russia was as
responsible as Germany for the
unrest of the decade before the
war.
In another resolution Secretary
of State Hughes was congratulated
on his efforts to secure our parti
cipation in the permanent court Of
international justice at The Hague
and support of his efforts was
pledged by the league.
European reparations on a rea
sonable basis was also urged. Mem

WATCHES BURGLAR WORK
AS HER HUSBAND SLEEPS

HARRISBURG, Pa, March IT,
For half an hour a burglar hid in
the bedroom Of Peter G. Cameron,
State banking commissioner, while
he slept and Mrs. Cameron watched
the intruder.
Mrs. Cameron was afraid to
awaken her husband for fear that
he would try to capture the robber,
unarmed.
The burglar was armed and stood
in the corner apparently under the
belief that Mrs. Cameron was not
sleeping soundly.
Mrs. Cameron finally awakened
her husband, remarking that she
was sick and in need of a doctor.
The burglar, pursued by the bank
ing commissioner, fled and made
his escape. He took a 5000 neck

The study was prompted by q

that certain foreign powers are
manipulating American figures in
an attempt to cover up their own
huge expenditures, and thus offset

past, officials assert. there has

spects, the report indicates, can the
other great powers stand for q mo.
ment on the same footing with the
United States.
Pay Highest Here.
Much OF the misconception as to
the comparative cost of the Amer
lean army, the report indicates, Is
due to a misunderstanding Of the
rates Of pay OF soldiers in various
countries. If American army en-
listed men were paid, for example,
at the rate the French poilu is paid
we could have for the amount we
now spend, not lis, 500 men, but e..
SAT 700; II at the British rate, 141..
500 men; italian, 1,910,S00, and Jap
anese, 1913, 100.
Another erroneous idea arises, It
e asserted, from a misunderstood.
ing OF the value Of the dollar at
home and abroad. For example, a
doughboy on the Rhine receiving
81 a day was the financial equal of
the mayor OF Coblenz, but in the
United States ne finds it impossible
to support a wife on his pay.

"The additional facilities afforded
to Georgia farmers" Mr.. Simms
said, have made possible the phe-
nomenal growth in providing loans
for the development of property in
! the state. Heretofore all of these
loans have been made through the
Federal Land Bank, of Columbia, S.

"The wide extension of aid af-
| forded Georgia farmers by the At
lanta Joint Stock Land Bank" Mr..
Simms added, "may best be judged
by the results of the system in the
nation as a whole.
THE federal farm loan system is
serving the farmers of the entire
country. The federal land banks are
making loans in every one of the
forty-eight states, and Joint stock
land banks are operating in thirty

both branches has aided 245,000

The Greatest Growth.
During the year 1922 the federal
farm loan system experienced its
greatest growth since establishment
five years ago. Its growth has been
such as to Justify the expectation
of the founders of the farm loan
act under which the system operates.
"The federal banks and the joint
stock land banks are permitted I'M
der the law to do only one kind of
business, namely, loan money to
farmers for agricultural purposes
with farm land as security.
These banks secure the money to
loan through the sale of bonds. The
Federal Land Bank is authorized to
issue bonds to twenty times its can

to fifteen times their capital. The
interest rate to the farmer is limit
ed by law. Both kinds of banks are
required to lend at a rate Of inter-
est not to exceed 1 per cent in ex-
cess of the interest rate borne by
the bonds, but the farmers rate can
not exceed per cent no matter at
what rate the bonds may sell.
