Straps and facts. It Is stated with more or less authority from Paris that the French have acquiesced in the proposal to fix the amount of indemnity Germany is to pay at approximately $50,000,000,000. The rep&r&tlonal sections of the treaty will give Germany between twenty-six and thirty years in which to pay this amount, on condition that $5,000,000,000 be paid in cash and the rest under provisions by which Germany shall contribute a percentage of her surplus annually. It is also provided that the damages shall be assessed under seven categories of violations of international law, and it is estimated that $50,AAA AAA AAA m411 n/\t?ar oil oiloVl PflflPQ vvv,wvivvv nin w(oi mi. President "Wilson had a very bad cold during several days of last week and there was much concern as to his condition. Because of the president's Illness he was prevented from attendance on several meetings of the "big four" conference, made up of himself, Premiers Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Orlando. Rear Admiral Grayson, the president's private physician, issued a statement on Saturday saying that the president has narrowly escaped an attack of influenza, and it was not then certain that he would not yet have it The president had been in bed for several days and was avoiding over-exertion as far as possible Governor Allen of Kansas, says he is ready to join in an appeal to the Federal government to flx a guaranteed price of 85 cents on cotton, except such as may be in the hands of speculators. The declaration is .contained in a telegram sent from Kansas City last Saturday night to Mr. W. R. Cooper, in reply to a telegram from Mr. Cooper asking him if he "would join southern cotton people in asking the Federal government to guarantee 35 cents a pound for middling cotton up to June, 1920, or so long as the present wheat prices are guaranteed." In reply, Governor Alien wirea: i win be glad to join southern cotton people in asking the Federal government for a guaranteed cotton price for all cotton that has not been held for speculative prices during the war. This guarantee, of course, would apply to the new crop." Prussia's huge losses in officers and men during the war are indicated by 1 a German staff officer, who writes in the Lokal-Anzeiger. He submits figures compiled from the official casualty lists to show that 32,454 active officers at the front were killed, wounded or missing out of a total of 344,350, and that more than 4,330,000 soldiers were killed, wounded or missing out ( of 10,178,000 who actually fought at 1 the front. Contends that these fig- , ures belie stories that the Prussian , officers did not attack with their men and asserts that while their losses ' were particularly heavy in the first 1 two years they were much less in the , later years, because the officers had to be saved for general staff work. 1 The figures show also that Germany ] counted little on a long war, for the Prussian mobilization contemplated 3,700,000 soldiers to which approximately 6,500,000 had to be added before < the end. j Alleging conspiracy to send him to | the gallows, Gaston B. Means has filed suit in Chicago against the Northern Trust company for $1,000,000. Means < was tried last year at Concord, N. C., for the murder of Mrs. Maude A. King, , who died from a bullet would while on an automobile trip with a party of friends of whom Means was one. i After his acquittal came a legal contest over the will of the millionaire, James A. King. Named as co-defend* ants are Solomon and Bruce Smith, i president and vice-president, respec- ( tively, of the trust company, Alfred F. Relchmann and William S. Miller, oounsel for the corporation: John T. 1 Dooling, assistant district attorney of New York, and C. B. Ambrose, at one time a secret service operative. The declaration filed by Means alleges that the Northern Trust company, through the co-defendants, sought to secure the conviction of Means for the murder of Mrs. King. It is further alleged the defendant corporation sought thus to control the $3,000,000 King estate and reap vast profits therefrom. Plans have been announced for the "protection" of the textile mills of America from the unscrupulous methods of German dye manufacturers. Joseph H. Choats, Jr., of New York, is at torney. He says that 150 Arms in wew York, New England, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, have agreed to go into -a combination which under no circumstances will buy any German dyes except such as canhot be produced in this country, and which are absolutely necessary. It is recognized that German dyes cannot be kept out of the country by means of tariff duties. The plan along this line is for the government to pay the tariff and allow its exporters to unsell local manufacturers regardless of cost until the local manufacturers are run out of business. After that of course, the invader makes his price to suit his notions, inoluding the cost of the preliminary operations. To meet * this the Americans propose to adopt a licensing plan under which no foreign dyes can be sold without license, and under which the whole situation as to competitive prices, etc., may be controlled. An extensive programme for caring for disabled soldiers after their discharge from military service, was announced Saturday by the war risk insurance bureau, which is charged by *A * TVrrtnftf nno congress witn tnu wurn. intuij-vHv hospitals with a capacity of 1,500 beds already are in use and the war department has turned over to the treasury seven camp hospitals for the care of disability cases. These are to be enlarged and improved out of the $9,000,000 fund appropriated for hospitals for disabled soldiers to be controlled by the war risk insurance bureau. When treatment in the hospit9 als of the war department fails to restore men to such condition that they are fit for actual service and they are discharged, the work of the bureau of war risk insurance begins. Under the provision of the war risk insurance act all soldiers who are 10 per cent disabled from causes suffered in the line of duty are entitled to compensation and to treatment by the bureau of war risk insurance. Any man disabled in the service and discharged from the service may make application for * treatment to the public health service station in his home town or at the nearest station. The first of a series of "flying circus" air combats to be "fought" in behalf of the Victory loan will be staged high over the cities of New York, New Orleans and Los Angeles at 1:30 p. m. on Thursday, it was announced officially in New York Sunday. From these three "bases" the "ffying circuses" will travel in special trains in regular circus fashion. Forty mechanics with each unit will take down the planes every evening and assemble them each succeeding morning for new .air fights. "The battles" in the skv will consist of two stages. Slow flying American planes will be driven off by a fleet of captured German Fokkers which in turn will be attacked by speedy American planes piloted by American, French ana British "aces." Battle formations will be duplicated, a sharp skirmish will ensue, and a guaranteed allied victory will wind up each performance. Victory loan literature will be scattered over every city visited by the "flying circuses." Cities scheduled to see the "flying circus" include: Philadelphia. Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Va.; Raleigh, N. C.; Charleston, S. C.; Savannah, Ga.; Jacksonville, Atlanta, Birmingham, Chattanooga, Nashville, Louisville and Lexington, Ky.; Cincinnati, Indianapo- . lis, Columbus, Toledo, -Detroit, Cleve- ' jo.uu anu a hwuu4 511. Coblenz April 3: The Forty-Second division is all packed up and waiting 1 the Anal order "All aboard for home." The first train with troops from this , division on board is scheduled to leave . Ahrenwelter Sunday morning. The personnel on this train will consist of the 1 division headquarters staff and several smaller units. Two trains will leave Sunday afternoon and four daily thereafter for six days. The transportation officers figure on an average time schedule from the Rhine to Brest of 60 hours. Official cognizance nas been taken by the Third army of the increased spirit of enmity shown by civilians against Americans in the occupied area. Thursday's intelligence summary says of this condition; "There is considerable feeling against our strict enforcement of the civilian < circulation regulation." The summary , adds further along: "This is especially so with reference to the circula tion on the left bank of the Rhine between the several occupied territories." Regarding Bolshevism and the opinions of civilians in occupied area the summary says: "The genersU idea is that Bolshevism will die of its own accord andi satisfaction is expressed that it can not make headway in the American zone. While recognizing that the inhabitants owe the quiet in the region to the American troops it is evident that the population has no really friendly spirit for our soldiers." The Third army has granted special permission to a number of congressmen to address such of their constituents as they find among the divisions in the occupied zone. The congressmen have arrived at Coblenz for a several day's visit with the bridge-head troops. Representative Julian Kahn of California arrived in Coblenz this morning after having visited the battlefields. Ibe ^orfcrillf (fnquim Entered at the Postofflce at York aa Mall Matter of the Second Class. TUESDAY, APRIL 8, 1919. It looks just now as if futures, beginning to fear that spots will no long- J er come to them, are reluctantly con- ( slderingr the idea of going to spots. We are printing a story that has < been going the rounds under a Wash- < ington date line, telling of an alleged i effort by a party of Americans to kid- 1 nap Kaiser William shortly after *the ! signing of the armistice. Senator Lea i has issued a statement in which he de- i nies having had connection with the < alleged affair. t V _ If the people of the south would < only voluntarily do this year what they ? were forced to do last year with ref- 1 srence to the consumption of flour, it 1 would be many millions of dollars in 1 their pockets. The south has proba- 1 t>ly never made so much money any 1 other one year in its history as it i made last year by raising such a large ^ proportion of its food at ly>me. < The war for re-organization and re- < adjustment is hardly less s.renuous or < less pregnant of consequences than < the war for international domination, s In the war of cannon and bayonets < against a common foe, America was < united and invincible. In the war for < advantage in economic re-adjustment ' every man's hand is against every i other man. If the best brains of > America would only get together in 1 the interest of the whole country, and < strive for a rebuilding programme < along the line of the common benefit < of all, the heights that could be reach- 1 ed through such co-operation are al- ( most beyond the grasp of imagination. 1 - ] If it is a fact, as stated by the Mem- I Phis Commercial-Appeal, that the rea- 1 son there is no market for southern I cotton seed at the present fixed price, 1 is because the compound manufactu- < rers are using cheap Asiatic bean oil 1 instead of cotton seed oil, we say that 1 this government should do one of two i things. First, require the compound lard manufacturers to label their compound so as to say what it is made of, whether of cotton seed oil or bean oil, , and second, put on the bean oil a tariff j tax sufficient to keep it out of the country. We think the first expedient , should suffice; but if it does not sufflee, then unhesitatingly we advocate j the second, at tiie risk of raising a , howl from- southern free-traders be- , cause of disloyalty to ancient traditions, or bringing forth a yelp from , the people of the northeast middle- j west and northwest' because the south , would benefit through the means by which they got so much of their wealth . of tVio oviwnnf rho south. * ' 1 As yet there has been no agreement between the railroad administration ( and the war industries board on the price of steel. The issue is exactly , the same as that between the cotton J producers and the cotton spinners, only far less justifiable. The cotton pro- , ducers are asking for only a moderate . profit on their outlay and labor, | enough to enable them to produce more cotton without falling into bondage. The steel makers have put their , prices up several hundred per cent high enough to satisfy labor, and to , pay rich dividends on their bountifully , watered stock- They are seeking to provide for themselves regardless of ^ the burden they lay on the industry and commerce of the country. The , railroad administration is not able to see how it can ^ield to the extortion of the steel people and continue in existence. The outcome of the present , deadlock, of course, will have a tre- ^ mendous bearing on the economic life of the nation. 1 Peace is going to come into the , world some day; but not until the j world adopts as its rule of action the Injunction to do unto others as you ^ would have them do unto you. Every individual of ordinary intelligence knows that as a rule, if you want to , get the other fellow to fight you, all ; you have to do is to fight him, and if , you want him to be kind to you you , must be kind to him. There are exceptions to the rule, it is true, because there are people who have sense enough not to fight back even when , you fight them, and most provoking ( people they are too. There are others who fail to respond to kindness, and they are hardly less provoking. Funny contradiction, isn't it? But it does , not In the least contradict the wisdom j of the rule. Sincerity of motive enters into the proposition. Sometimes peo- , pie are apparently kind to you for the purpose of doing you, and in a like manner it may happen that you could easily lick the fellow who would fight you, with the result that you would lose a great deal more than you would j gain. But the individual who, with 1 sincere motive follows the rule to do unto others as he would have others , do unto him will never lose out, and i what is true or the individual is irue of the nation. The issue raised by Lieutenant Colonel Samuel T. Ansell, formerly acting judge advocate general in the army, in his controversy with Secretary Baker and General Crowdor, is simply this: Shall American boys who are forced to enter the army in time of war for the defense of their country, surrender every human right they sha.ll there be such reform in military court procedure as will permit the Justification of such alleged offenses as ought to be justified? It has been made clear that under existing condipossess to spirit-crushing injustice, or tions the common soldier who has the misfortune to incur the displeasure of an unreasonable or unjust superior officer, has no more show than a dog. It has been made clear that so far as the possibilities of the court machinr ery, or rather procedure, goes, there is as little democracy in the American army as there is in any other army on earth. A common soldier who may have incurred the displeasure of an unjust and unreasonable superior, even though it be through no fault of his own, has not as much chance for justice as has a really guilty offender in civil life before a packed and preju diced petit jury. The case or a commissioned officer who does not stand in with his fellow officers is hardly any better. The dominant "Judicial" spirit of the army seems to be that just as a brave and heroic regiment might rightly be ordered to hold a desperate position to the last man for the purpose of holding a vital operation, any man who might have unwittingly run counter to the fleeting: whim of a "hard boiled" superior, can- be railroaded to the penitentiary without possible hope of rescue. Of course it is not to be understood that in actual practice such occurrences constitute the rule. All officers of the army are not so tyrannical and repraved as that, indeed, a great majority of army officers represent the highest type of courage, honesty and Justice that we have. But in the army there have been hundreds of cases of summary cutrage against helpless private soliiers that would not be tolerated even by an old-time pirate chief- The letter from Lieutenant Colonel Ansell to Secretary Baker that has just been made public, makes it clear that the army is opposed to the reforms that 2ol. Ansell proposes, for reasons which hough maybe satisfactory to the army, could not possibly have the approval jf enlightened civilians. Col. Ansell states that at first Crowder and Baker tvere convinced to the rigftteousness of bis proposed reforms and the reader is left with the impression that both reJ *VAmoAlwflti oftor hovin? civAn r ClfiUU kUCUlOViTCO U4VVA os. VH their approval solely because they bejan to fear that their own personal ambitions would suffer. Crowder is * juoted as having told Ansell that he would have to go back on him in or- 1 ier to save his own official reputation ind career. As to what is going to :ome of the publication of Colonel Ar>jell's letter has not yet fully developsd. It appears that there were two :opies of the letter, one for the secretary of war and one for Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the committee on military affairs.- The secretary of war returned his copy with the advice that no good was to come Df its publication, arfQ it is not yet ilear as to whether it was Senator Chamberlain who gave the letter to the press. If it can be shown that Colonel Ansell is responsible he will be subject to court martial and severe penalties without much hope of protection, unless that protection comes from the senate, and the presumption is that in any event his connection with the army will not long continue. Just now he appears to have sacrificed bis career on the altar of the cause ho has been devoting him self. Leveling Up. The original Bolshevik! idpa was , that nothing would do but to put the bottom rail on top. The great mass of people were told that the so-called upper classes were mere useless leeches on the body politic, oppressors of the people through whose efforts they ate their bread, and that they should be eliminated. Because of the fact that Russia really had a small privileged class that took prestige of all other classes in iflfairs of state, affairs of church, social affairs and the like, it was easy for the common people to believe the things they were told, and to direct their efforts accordingly. But through time and experience , the people of Russia are having to disUThan It hoMmfi nftPfigsarV U1 lllllllUkt. f T <?VM % vww?.u.v .... w for them to make use of their army, , they found that co-operative efficiency could only be met by co-operative efficiency, and that officers trained in j military matters must be restored and obeyed. < Now comes the information that experience has proved that railroads will not operate themselves and to secure operation of the railroads to the ; best advantage they found it necessary , to recall administrative officers who , had heretofore been classed as'among the bourgeoise. And so it is or will be all'along the line, except perhaps, the privileged classes those who had autocratic control over the affairs of provinces, principalities, towns and communities. These, especially where they know no law except their own whimsical desires, are not necessary to the peace, prosperity or happiness of the people. It is trye that the Bolsheviki explain that the recalled bourgeoise are being recalled as servants rather than masters of the people, and as to that ; we only hope it is so, for we ourselves confess to the view that those who are so fortunate as to be better equipped In the general run of things than the average man, should hold his superior talents and attainments in the attitude of servant rather than master. But that unbridled ignorance should inrrt it over suDerior character and su perior intelligence Is simply inconceivable. This has occurred from time to time, and at short intervals, but never for long. Reason of the Wide Difference Between Compound and Lard. The Commercial Appeal calls attention to a most extraordinary condition in regard to cottonseed oil and other oils. When we became involved in the war the government fixed the price which gave to the crusher a decent profit. In the meantime, the Japanese and others began to dump into America peanut oil, soybean oil and fish oil at a price far below the price of oil crushed from cottonseed at $70 a ton. During the interval it had been soarranged that the vegetable lard producers could sell their products at a fair margin of profit, even when paying for oil crushed from high-priced seed. NTow, some of the lard compound manufacturers are buying cottonseed oil and also buying the cheap Atlantic oil. The two are compounded. The product is sold at a certain price, but the profit on the Asiatic oil is so great that the lard compound man now makes more than he ever did. He buys the cottonseed oil in a limited quantity. He supplies the deficiency from the Asiatic oil. The mills cannot afford to buy the cottonseed and run the risk of not having any market for the oil at the fixed price of cottonseed.

Grist not long ago sent ^ tiome a German helmet as a souvenir. ari He said he got it from a friend who se bad picked it up on the St. Mihiel front on ind who had lugged it a good many 86 miles. As to how he had induced this ?r friend to give it up he did not say; but according to the testimony of the *e; returning soldiers who knew of such W1 things, either he had to pay a pretty le! stiff price or the friend thought a good Pr leal of him. These helmets sell for J15 or $20 cash, and cases are asserted where as much as $100 has been of- re fered and refused. No, the high price bf the helmets was not due to original as scarcity. Paul Whitesides says he has ne seen them lying about in all kinds of abundance. Some still had German beads in them, some were dented and bent, some were perforated with bullet boles, some were uninjured and whole. ? But comparatively few of the boys were interested in helmets about that "c time certainly not the helmets that were lying on the ground. They were ^ still concerned with the helmets that had live German heads in them and after these had been disposed of they y had plenty of luggage of their own that was of more immediate practical use. Paul, however, sent one home through the mail to his mother. But It is strange how little the average man in civil life seems to understand co about the uses of these helmets. For instance a few days ago Here and 2 < 1 1 " man inulutinir that the i rierc ni?u.?u ?ntw? ...> holes on either side of the crown were w< for purposes of ventilation and it took the very solemn assurance of a soldier ne who had been on the other side to convince him that the holes were for a.n the purpose of attaching dress-parade tic trappings. , ac FOR THE RELIEF OF THE JEWS.

Mr. Robinson was in Yorklie last Saturday meeting old friends id acquaintances and answering such lestions as he chose to answer to the set of his ability. Mr. and Mrs. W. J.

Young Whitener volunered during the early part of the a.r, before he was 21 and before the aft law went into operation. He as sent to Savannah and from there San Antonio, and went to France om that city as a member of an >ro squadron. He has been writing gularly until a few weeks ago. On st Saturday his parents received an flcial envelope addressed to him and i opening it they found two letters at they had written, which had been rwarded to a hospital in France, r- Whitener is hopeful that when the atter Is cleared up It will be found at his son is either in the United ates, or on the way home.

D., secrery of the Baptist state mission board, led the pulpit of the First Baptist lurch Sunday, and preached to a rge congregation. At the close of e service the congregation as a lurch conference, took up the matter pledges for the proposed church lprovements. Dr. Derieux told the ngregation that if $5,000 was pledg[ he felt sure that the state mission tard and the home mission board auld supplement the amount with i.OOO. and while he could not promb this as a fact, he would recomend it, "and they usually do what I commend," said the doctor. "Howrer, I urge you not to stop at $10,10, but to make improvements of at ast $15,000. You need it and I am ire if you start for that that you will icceed. Others will assist you. Make >ur church a credit to your commuty." Pledges were called for and in >out twenty minutes the signed edge cards totaled about $6,000, tyable in cash, annual and monthly stallment8- It is quite likely, judgg from expressed sentiments of the embership of the congregation, that e $15,0T)0, improvements urged by r. Derieux, will be undertaken. AS TO COTTON SEED.

Cottonseed oil was rgely replaced by imported, cheap ade oil, which oil practically knock1 out the sale of cottonseed oil, and t grade, inferior oil was used for lulterating lard. This resulted in a .st amount of unsalable cottonseed I and greatly added to the overburmed condition of the south. "Be it, therefore, resolved, That the flclals in charge of the price fixing id handling of cotton seed and cotnseed oil be, and are hereby, relested as a matter of simple 'justice the farmers and all parties conrned to use such means and take .ch steps as will result in at least ghtly remedying the serious situa)n which has been brought about a result of these conditions, and at they take necessary steps at once id issue instructions to have cotton ed bought by the mills. Any delay i their part simply means that cotton ed will go on the ground as fertiliz, regardless of the tremendous sacri:e and loss to the farmer, who justly els that under these conditions he is ithout a friend, and that it is a usejs matter for him to longer rely on 1 omises. < "The congressmen and senators from , uth Carolina are further urged and ' quested to use every effort to have i e cottonseed situation relieved, so to save the producer from this unicessary and unjust loss." m < REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS.

In connection with the meeting the audience was entertained by the pupils and a meeting of the Parent-Teacher association was held. Information has been received by relatives, of the safe arrival in New York of Sergeant Edward B. White from overseas, who has proceeded to Camp Funston. : W. A. Douglas, of Rock Hill,, was | a visitor in Fort Mill last Wednesday. The preliminary peace treaty will be ready by Easter and the Germans will be .asked to come and sign it at the end of April or the beginning of May, Premier Lloyd George of Great Britain declared in an interview with Stephane Lauzanne, editor of The Matin, in Paris last Sunday. In answer to a remark by M. Lauzanne that what troubled public opinion was not so much the delay, as the secrecy in which the peace negotiations were wrapped and the fear that there was some divergence of opinion, the British premier said: "I affirm absolutely that there is no divergence among the negotiations. They are often confronted with technical difficulties which can only be settled after close study. Take the question of reparation In substance the Allies have one common principle, which I once set forth thus: 'Germany must pay up the last farthing of her power.' "But is it sufficient to draw up a bill and hand it to the enemy? Mus we not require guarantees and must we not study' pie terms, methods and forms of delayed payments? Must we not be able to say to our adversary when he pleads inadequacy of resources: 'Yes you can go as far as that and you must do it and you must do that* In a word, shall we simply present a bill or collect the money, all the money possible? Well, this is where the work comes in slow and difficult work complicated by the fact that technical experts of the highest capabilities and great experience are not in agreement among themselves either as to the method of liquidation or as to the assets to be realized. "No, there is no divergence among the negotiators, but, alas, there are inevitable ones among the experts, often among those from the same country. Who is to decide beA l# MAOAHntAna onH iwcen infill n nut mc ucguviuwio do you think it can always be done quickly." M. Lauzanne remarked that what opinion could not understand was why, before everything, Germany was not handed a full bill no matter what amount and forced to admit full liability. "And who says we shall not do so?" cried Premier Lloyd George. Who says we have not decided that?" "No one," the interviewer interrupted, "has said that you have decided it." The British premier resumed: "Cannot the people wait until we have finished our work instead of always wanting to judge our intentions. This conference had to meet and does things under conditions unprecedented in history. All eyes are turned toward it and, what is more grave, all ears are glued at its keyhole. Enemy ears tremolewith joy when they detect some hesitation. Friendly ears half hear confused rumors which are peddled far and quickly. The day does not pas's out but what some false news here and there takes its flight. Nevertheless, no day passes but that we in silent deliberation feel approaching nearer the great aim and experience for each other more esteem, confidence and affection. Let public opinion wait a few days. It will then 1 be able to pronounce on facts not ru. mors.' MERE-MENTION The 400,000 members of the four affiliated unions of Commercial telegraphers with headquarters in Chicago have been called upon to vote on the question of striking against Postmaster General Burleson's method of wire management. The vote is returnable April 22 ...Despatches from London and Paris say that the question of returning to Poland the three divisions of Polish troops that have been fighting in France with the Allies has been arranged between General Foch and the Germans and that the Germans guarantee the Poles safe passage back through Danzig, provided of course they attempt no disturbance on the way. The south has increased its per capita savings 45 per cent in four years according to figures compiled by Milton W. Harrison of the savings bank section of the American Bankers association. Mr. Harrison has shown the per capita savings in banks and trust companies of the United States for every state in the Union and for each section. He shows also the amount of war savings per capita by each state. One interesting fact revealed by Mr. Harrison's figures Is that the southern states, which have often been derided for the improvidence of their people, have increased their savings in four years more than four times that of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Delaware and more than twice as much as the New England states, which have by far the largest percentage of savers to the population. But the southern states are shown to own the smallest number of war savings stamps per capita, $6.14, while the eastern states own $7.50, the New England states $8.34 and the western and Pacific states over $10 per capita. A comparison of the per capita savings for each section shows that the southern states are again at the bottom of the list with only $26.73 as their per capita savings against $295.93 per capita for New England, $174.14 for the eastern states, $100 for the middle, $76.78 for the western, and $170.05 for the Pacific states. fycrfsl Jlotitcs.
