Demobilization of the army has returned 1,942,891 officers and men to civil life, the War Department announced yesterday. Of these 103,524 were in the commissioned grades. The total authorized discharge was announced as 2,072,000 and if these 789,' 826 are men Teturned fron overseas. I Volunteer enlistments continue tfc. in crease, 23,663 recruits having been officially recorded with many depots yet ' to report enlistments this week. Of the men signifying desire for particular service, 6,178 asked to be sent to the army of occupation, and 1,243 to the Philippines. ? The Italian delegates to the peace conference, who left Paris almost abruptly .when the members of the council of four repr? renting Great Britain, France and the United States, refused to grant Italy's full claims to Flume and the Dalmatlon costal region have been invited back to Paris and resume places In the peace conference. Paris dispatches assert that by reason of this invitation it is to be believed the Italians will return to the French capital and that the negotiations over the aiamiitaH nnints will begin again wherfe they were left off. French and British diplomats in Rome for several days have 'been discussing the controversy with Premier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnlno In an endeavor to straighten out the tangle. The invitation of the coupcil of thred, it is understood, has In view the elimination of the personal element in the controversy and the raying of the way for a territorial adjustment acceptable to Italy when the conferees are again together. ) ? On Mpy 1, which officially marked the end of the demobilization of the old German army and the functioning of the now army or reichswehr, Germany had 325,000 men of various classes under arms, according to estimates made by American intelligence officers based on information from many sources. Included in this estimate are 100,000 soldiers listed as remnants of old army units and who are In garrisons in different parts of Germany awaiting their discharge. The present strength of troops available for service is approximately 225,000 which Include: On the eastern front, most of them volunteers, 140,000; Luette Witz corps in and near Berlin, 40,000, Freiwilllger of volunteer units elsewhere, 20,000. The foregoing figures do not include the home guard, policing companies of soldiers iof the old army who are lie hospitals and not yet dis ? -U.?*?.... I. DA,. charged Tne present miuuuuu ?? lin may result In some changes In the - figures, but the Americans have not yet reached a conclusion on this subject A ? The public debt of the United States government was reported by the treasury last Sunday as $24,824,346,000. Most of this represents liberty bonds of the first second third and fourth issues, but the Victory loan is ? not included to apy great extent The addition of victory loan bonds will be largely counterbalanced by redemption Of outstanding certificates of indebtedness. No deduction is made for the $8,852,000,000 loaned to foreign governments. Consequently the net debt would be approximately $16,000,000,000. The treasury plans to issue other bonds later this year and next year to meet the fag end of war expenses, so that the gross public debt of the United States is expected by the treasury officials to be in the neighborhood of $80,000,000,000 when the period of the war financing ends. The treasury now has a working balance of $1,052,000,000, of which $657,546,000 is on deposit with banks throughout the country on account of bills of certificates of indebtedness and victory liberty notes. The treasury holds $2,568,599,000 in gold but a little more than half of this belongs to the gold settlement fund of the Federal Reserve board. Silver dollars in the treasury, which a little more than a year ago amounted to $490,000,000, has been reduced to $229,711,000 by melting down of approximately 260,000,000 of silver dollars for export to India. , ? If the reports of the Japanese setI tlement, which have come through from Paris, turn out to be correct ? Monitor says me cnruuau o?m.c uvu..v., the three great powers will prove to ,have settled their ,own difficulties at - ^ the expense of an ally. In vulgar English they appear to have appeased Japan for their refusal to give her anything on their own account, by. presenting her with something iliat belongs to somebody else. In short having determined that racial equality shall be barred in the federation of the world, they have made up to Japan for not freely admitting the Japanese to the American or Australian continents, by making it all right for her in China It 1b all very well to argue V that the province of Shantung and the Klaochow enclave will some day bo returned to the government in Peking, but the Chinese people may be excused for doubting the morality of a bargain which not only blandly sets aside self-determination in Shantung, but grants economical privileges in that province to an alien nation. China, it is to be imagined, will hardly be gratified at being the one nation which has had its soil and its economic privileges disposed of by her three great allies to another, ally.

Intention of the internal revenue bureau to enforce the child labor tax provision of the revenue law, despite the action of the North Carolina federal district court in declaring the measure unconstitutional is indicated by announcement that 20 -women agents have been employed to issue age certificates to children in communities where local age records are not adequate. These women will continue at their work pending a final decision by the supreme court, to ? which it is understood the case will be appealed. The women agents are engaged in preliminary work of surveying the situation in mill towns, mainly in the south, and in enlisting the co-operation of factory manage-^ ments in their work of ascertaining the exact ages of working children and issuing age certificates. In prac. tlcally all cases, it was said today, mill managers have welcomed the assistance of these agents as a means of helping them ferret out the children whose youth would render the factory's profits subject to the 10 per cent tax. In addition to the force o 1 women, the revenue bureau plans later to employ inspectors to watch for violations. In all cases, officials said, effort will be made to co-operate with managers of mills or factories and with parents of children to render a "human administration" of the measure. and to a^oid harsh methods. ? The greatest moral, lesson of the war would be to sink the entire German fleet with proper , ceremonies, Daniels, American secretary of tae navy, who recently visited the captured Germans vessels at Scapa Flow, declared last Saturday in a statement to the Associated Presa "The * ? thn German fleet should De sunn, opinion of American and British technical experts in Paris," the secretary said. Those who are not technical and who view the situation entirely from the moral side have the same idea and believe that the ships should be sunk with bands playing and flags flying to keep company with the merchantmen the Get man navy destroyed. "I think the greatest moral lesson of the war would be the sinking of the whole fleet with an unforgetable ceremony. Theseships, which 1 recently viewed, are magnificent craft, but virtually useless as a i>art of the American navy. In the first place, >cu would never induce an American sailor to live in the cramped and unhealthy quarters, even of the later types, * and none has bunker space sufficient for our needs. The ships undoubtedly were built for fighting in the North sea, and not for long cruises as is ? I I necessary in our navy. Their armor, ti however, is better than the 'American 0 or British." The secretary said there b; is nothing approaching a concert of s< opinion as to the size of the interna- tl tional naval police force or as to what C responsibility each ally is willing to 0 accept He added that "all must be w worked out when the league of na- b tions begins to function. But with h so many problems to face the nations ri are willing to leave that one until later." %rfevillc (Enquirer ?, n Entered at the Postofflce at York aa fi Mall Matter of the Second Class. v s t TUESDAY MAY 6, 1919. 8 " o On general principles we are oppos- * ed to censorship of the mails; but we t] would have it understood that our ob jection does not extend to those bombs which axe now being distributed so n promiscuously by the I.

The four billion dollars worth of 1 bondg will surely be bought by the ^ country as a whole. But tlen each s, community will be more or less con- ii cerned as to how it shall acquit..itself. The individual who decides thai* he p does not need to do his part will be looked upon by other people Just as he looks upon himself. tl . ? . tl D While of course America would like t] for Germany to sign the peace treaty b promptly, we do not imagine that Eng- P land, France and Italy care whether ^ she signs or not In case of any dilly- h dallying on the paxt of Germany, Eng- e land and France will at once begin to e extend their areas of occupation, and of course eventually Germany will be a forced to sign terms that will be still f< more onerous than those now offered. ^ Somehow we think the Germans have 8 too much sense to hold out to the dan- o ger point* h ' i h It has not Deen aennueiy suiueu uiai | n the warships taken from the""Germans f will be sunk. At least the public has not been advised of such definite set- n tlement. But the indications are that t' this is what will be done, and we do * not hesitate to say that this is about 0 the best thing. If it has not been y agreed that Great Britain ;s to con- e tinue to dominate the seas, it may as J well be agreed, because Great Britain n is not going to give up her claims of b the right to dominate without a fight. ^ 'Worn this viewpoint Great Britain 11 dobs not need the German ships, or any more ships of any kind unless the ^ German ships should go to some of the t other nations, and then Great Britain ]< would need more. We think the Ger- n man ships ought to be sunk, and we c* think that is what will be done. The F reason for sinking the German ships o is that they are not worth 'he trouble Q that conditions would involve and that is also why Mr. Daniels and the rest -s of them think the German ships l! should be sunk. P ? d Congressman Stevenson's statement t in c nnection with the selection of ~ postmasters on a basis of civil service i . examinations, confirms the informat- a ion we have gathered on the subject. ^ As we have already declared, we do ^ nut take much stock in the civil ser- !< vice proposition, even if it is unques- " - - ? - b tionably impartial an<J fair. To De sure, we consider that it is essential that the p postmaster be competent and efficient; o but as between ability to compel an ?. appointment of this kind by command- i ing the necessary backing, and ability n to pass the best examination, we think e the first suggested qualifies'ion is rath- 1 er a guarantee of the greater fltnessr But after all, ability to pass the most ^ creditable civil service examination t does not appear to settle the matter. ^ The applicant must also be accepta- t ble to the senators, or at least if he is v not acceptable to the senators he must v be sufficiently influential politically- to mffke the senators take notice. At any p rate, however, the situation is some- F what clarified, and people will have a r better idea as to what part the civil service plays and what part patronage n plays. li 1 I i Information comes from Washing- p ton that the historic Oregon, once the f | most povferful battleship afloat, is to ? be retired from commission because of p ? lack of seamen with which to keep her n in fighting trim. The Oregon became r historic by reason of a feat during the ? ? Spanish-American war ir 1898. The p ' breaking out of that war found the n United States at a considerable dlsad- ? , vantage compared to Spam, especially t in the matter of naval forces. Spain t 1 had more warships and she had them 1 , so disposed that both the Pacific and j' Atlantic coasts were open to attack. c The Oregon was then the principal re- s ! liance for guarding the long Pacific 1 coast line, and as there was no wire- j i less in those day there was apprehen- C sion that the Spaniards might pounce 1 down on any of the exposed ports on ^ the Pacific side. On the other hand all f , the Atlantic ports, like Boston, New 0 York, Norfolk, Charleston and Savan- a nah were in a state of apprehension, t ! In April came the news that the Span- e ish Atlantic fleet had sailed for Amer- a ica; but nobody then knew its destina- j tion. There was much concern on both t sides. In May, Dewey smashed the s Spanish Pacific fleet in Manila Bay, s and the Oregon was free to help guard c the Atlantic; but she was nearly fif- < teerf thousand miles away, men s lowed a race down the west coast of v North and South America, around 0 Cape Horn and up the Atlantic coast. s Would the Oregon be able to make the j< long journey in time to be of assist- s ance to the Atlantic fleet against Cer- h vera? That was the question that held h all the world on tip-toe of interest and a excitement. While coming up along d the coast of Brazil, the newspaper 7 correspondents suggestt i to Captain tl Clark, in command, the possibility of n meeting with Cervera's fleet, and he g; said, "Nothing could delight me more c than to meet the whole panish navy." s< And the feeling was t lat he would Sj have been able to me te good. At c length the Oregon arrived at Jupiter N Inlet, Florida, and all America began it to feel a sense of confident relief. 01 When Cervera's fleet came out of San- w ago harbor a few weeks later, the regon gave a good account of jtaelf y helping, to smash the different ves;ls and by outrunning and capturing le fastest of the vessels, the Cristobal olon- The understanding is that the regon is not to be scrapped; but she >111 be stripped of everything that will e of present value to the naw and er hull will be preserved for historic eftsons. ? Greenville, May 3: Officers here and hroughout the surrounding territory re searching today, unsuccessfully so ar, for four yeggmen who early this lorning blew open the safe In the ofce of Lipscomb Russell company, wholesale grocers of this city, and afer securing money, liberty bond and hecks worth over $2,000 made a bold ttempt at a getaway, but were forced n <irnn the loot after they were fired n bj?a policeman who arrived on the oene as they were about to make good heir escape. The officer engaged in a unning pistol duel with one of the gang nd believes he hit him, as the money ox was dropped. All the stolen valubles were recovered. Authorities here elieve the safe crackers to be the ame ones who blew open a safe in he office of C. and W. C. railway in Ipartanburg Thursday night, and it is heir belief that they are amateurs wing to the crudeness with which hey went about entering here. A Igorous search is being made for hem. ? Greenville, May 2: J. W. Norwood, lilllonaire banker of Greenville, who as valuable holdings in several prinipa.1 cities of the Carolinas, was calld upon in a resolution adopted by a lajority of the Greenville county legdative delegates * to withdraw as hairman of the highway ^ commission rhich supervised the . expenditure'of early a million dollars on road imrovements in this county, because, he resolution alleged, he acted in deanca to the delegation in retaining '. F. Patton, of Hendersonville, as ighway engineer, when the office was bolished by the last legislature. It ras the sense of the delegation to hold a abeyance the provisions of the reolutions which called upon the govrnor to remove Mr. Norwood and Mr. 'atton, if they declined, until Mr. iorwood could'be heard from. May 0 was set as the date on which he ras to be heard. Mr. Norwood in a tatement to the press Thursday night aid that the county was not employig Mr. Patton. The inference was hat he is paying him out of his own ocKei. ? Determination #of President Wilson idicated in press advices from Paris, hat no American troops shall conInue on German soil for a longer eroirl after the singing of the peace reaty than may be necessary to emark them for home, is borne out by resent 'plans of the war department rhich contemplates the return of the ntire American expeditionary forces y September. Because of this Genral March, chief of staff, is making very effort to speed up the demobiliation in this country. An official anouncement just issued as to the ccumulation of surplus clothing or the troops states that the estimates fere based on "troop withdrawal to e completed in September." The tatement also pays that "if an army f occupation If maintained after Sepember, a portion of this surplus will e needed." This computation was a.ken to reflect exactly the present ip> ormation of the department as'to uture troop movefhents. The Sepember date represents estimates by mbarkation officials as to the maxilum possible speed in wlth-drawing he entire force in Europe, including he troops holding the Coblenz bridgead sector On the Rhine. If anything fficers anticipate that the iriovement rill be accelerated rather than retardd. The schedule has been exceeded ecently and ,in increasing measure rom week to week. With an indicated nonthly movement of 450,000 men, the iest predictions of General Marcji and lis aides bid fair, it is said, to be sore than realized. - , ?With subscription to the Victory liberty loan lagging- to a greater exent than in any of the four previous oan campaigns, Secretary Glass totight at the beginning ot the third and losing week of the drive sent to all ampaign committees a strong apieal for a final effort that would not nly raise but exceed the minimum uota of $4,500,000,000. The treasury oday received no official reports on ubscriptions, but on the basis of subcriptior.s tabulated last night sllghtV more than one-third the minimum uota has been raised. Unofficial reorts received today were said to inicate that at the v outside not more han four-ninths of the loan had been ubscribed. Official figures for the arious stages of the first and second dberty loan are lacking, but the best .callable information was said to inicate that.on the eve of the final weefc lore than four-ninths of the loan had een taken in each drive. In the third ian campaign at the start of the fial week two-thirds of the total had een subscribed and at the beginning f the third week of the last loan camcign about $3,000,000,000 or one-half f the total, had been raised. 6ubcriptions officially reported in the Ictory campaign total $1,657,979,350. 'n rpaoh the fninimum "quota slightly lore than $400,000,000 must be raisd daily beginning tomorrow and endtig Saturday night. ? The three big seaplanes in which Jnited States navy aviators will atpmpt a flight across the Atlantic will hop off* for Newfoundland on the list leg of their journey at 7 o'clock his morning if weather permits, it i-as officially announced at the Rockatay Beach naval training station Sunlay. The first stop on the flight to Jewfoundland is scheduled for Halfax, N. S., 540 nautical miles from toekaway Beach. The fliers ejppect to each Halifax by 3 o'clock Tuesday fternoon. After lying there over light they will fly early Wednesday norning to Trepassey, the Newfoundand hnse of the flight expedition. At 'repassey the big planes will line up or their across-the-water attempt, robably remaining in Trepassey Bay or ten days?"may be less or may ie a little longer," the announcement iy Commander Towers, expedition eader said. There will be no cerenonies or "fuss" when the time arives Tuesday morning for the "hop If" at Rockaway. The public will be xcluded from the area adjacent to the lanes* moorings and a 'strictly busiicss getaway will be made. The lanes will travel about 63 knots an our, which was said to be "comforable cruising speed." At the start he American flag will flutter at the ail of each plane, and tl\e American aek at the front, but they will be aken in immediately after the "hop iff" as they would be whipped to hreds by the rushing wind. "Our hrpo entries are all ready to go exept that the NC-1 and the NC-4 will >e given further tests tomorrow," said "ommander Towers. The NC-3 is entrely ready. Each of the machines rill carry 24,000 pounds from Rockaray Avhen we start. We will get what uel we need at Halifax, as ships have ilready dropped gasoline there. We hall carry Ave gallons of drinking waer on each plane, in addition to 20 :allons for the radiators. The person1 effects of each man of the crew will e limited to, five pounds, including a ooth brush, comb and brush, a shirt, ihaving kit, fresh underclothes and ocks. There will be no additional acommodations for even a pocket knife, hir trip, with the exception of a very hort distance, will be over or on the k'ater. The only time we expect to fly iver land is when we go over the outhern tip of Cape Cod. We plan to ;eep in touch with Washington the ante as any ship in the navy. We ave tested our instruments and they ave demonstrated that we shall be ble to keep up land communication uring the greater part Of our trip." 'he assignment of the crews to the hree planes will be definitely anounced tomorrow, Commander Tower aid. Although there will be no hpnge in the personnel announced everal days ago, Commander Towers aid he.was not yet able to state which rew would go on which plane. The rc-l was given two test flights, taklg 11 passengers on the first and 12 n the second. Officers said the flights ere "most satisfactory."

The people?men, women and chil dren?came from all sections of th< county. In many cases they include! entire families, the old folks and thi children, and they brought luncl along to make a day of it. There was some disappointment aj to the tank. It was expected that i would roll through the streets ant possibly give some practical illustra tions of its performances on the bat tlefleld. But this did not develop. During the early morning wore went out that the tank would arrive ai the Southern" station at 9-30 o'clock but owing to an accident to some pari of the machine in a previous exhibitior it would not be taken off the flat cai on which it would come. The people , who desired to sre It therefore could en go to the station. re The tank was a small, one man ma- co chine, of what has been designated as wl j the "whippet" class. It is of the cat- ti< > erplllar pattern, and small, only in h comparison with the big fellows that in carry half a dozen or more men, with se d power to tear up trees and knock down or e houses. There were marks of rifle and bl machine gun bullets on its aides, and en d other evidences of hard service in le n practical use against the enemy. ei [: The sergeant in charge talked until ra ' he did not know what else to say, and d< r* then^>laced himself at the pleasure of gi u the crowds that thronged around him ol d all day, to answer to ^he best of hir in fc ability all the questions that anybody cared to ask.

Heyward of the in- tl p. ternal revenue service, has given out S< it additional instructions In connection * with the collection of internal revenue t ie ^ taxes.

The tax is on V) the whole amount of the price paid by & one time though it might De m pay- ,a the purchaser when tlje price is paid at tc ment for several articles or > drinks X but which are the subject of a single L_ transaction, purchase or sale.

It is given up by the best farm iroughout this section that in the ! winter cover crops more or less si 1 to this section, the one that ea ands at the head of the list is 7 over. This wonderful legume is c< iratively new to this immediate t on. Its value has been recognized Ifferent reading farmers in vari lrrounding states for nearly..a get tion; but the experience of T )unty farmers with it, extends bi nly about seven or eight years. I eadily growing in favor, howei id as things stand now, it holds luch promise for the future. So far as the information of The ] uirer goes, Mr. J. Frank Ashe, [cConnellsvllle, was the first fan C York county to make a succesi cperiment with bur clover. He old of seed, sowed them In acco nee with the best information >uld get and experimented qui ver a period of several years bel e told what he was doing. A rei sntatlve of The Enquirer got hold lm one day, pumped him for in) latlon, and printed what he said, v le result that a number of othen liferent parts of the county begar ike interest Speaking from recollection, i rlter will .say that Mr. Asljc tol onderfully interesting and instruc :ory of his experiences. He had ( >n a good stand in his fruit orchi >und that It was a fine thing for h om late fall to the middle of spri lat it would reaeed' itself; tha elped rather than hurt all cultiva rops; that It left lots of nitrogen le soil, and that it was generally n seful and valuable. - He seemed now all about bur clover with the jptlon of one thing, and that was 1 > be assured of a good stand. 3uld grow on any kind of land, d, and the poorer the land It set i the better it would thrive; it wo )me up and flourish even from sc scldentally spilled in the public r< s to laying down, however, any i cular method of seeding, uflder wt permanent stand could be guar red with reasonable certainty, IVio* Via aauM nnf anaij vvm^oocu uuuv uv vvm*v? uw? The best he could say was* tha II seemed to be a matter of luck. Of the farmers who have been >wlng in the footsteps of Mr. At II have had more or less difficult) ettlng stands of bur clover. Mosl lose who persisted have succeet ome have gotten a good stand al; nee; but others have had to w long over a period of several ye hey would prepare their ground v le utmost care, use fertilizers and ous other means of coaxing s lfts as would come up here and th nd keep on at It until they ha atch pretty well covered. Several lese farmers have told the wr hat trying experiences they have 1 i getting stands of bur clover; ot until now has the writer run u man who thoroughly understa le secret. This farmer is Mr. Carl G. Faris ort Mill. He spent some time at Cl< >n and afterward spent several y< ith his father, Mr. Baxter Faris, labama. Then four or five yehrs e returned to Fort Mill, where hi ~'ng some fine farming. He ut three acres seeded to bur clo' hich he considers to be one of iluable crops on his place, and as attlng a stand df it, he says noth i easier. In fact, he cays, it is as e > get a stand of bur clover as it it it a stand of cockleburs. "Sow early. That is the whole ret," says Mr. Faris. If you war aod crop for next winter and sprl >w as soon as you can get the s< ay time within the next two week "But you don't want to go to i reparation of a seed bed by break id harrowing. You might get a c lat way; but if you do; you will ilghty slow about It. "The surOet way ^of getting a croj > sow on whatever growth you ml ive on hand?the .wire or Bermi rass in a pasture "&r in' any ot i,tch. Just scatter the seeds, ab iur hushels to the acre and lei tern alone. They will come in < J son and you cannot kill them. T1 1 stand unlimited tramping down 1 kinds of animals.

"It is a good idea to sow fn y< ?tton patch immediately follow >ur laying by. You don't want ait until there has been a rain. I / and scatter the seed on the fr< irth after the plow. Here is the id tie seed will fall in the fresh grot id stick pretty well where they ? tie next rain comes along and be lem in.

Mr. Faris says that he can ea? ithor sixtv bushels of bur clover s< om an acre. Another interesting proposition tl ; vouches for is that an acre of t over will pasture eight hogs dur) sbruary, March, April and May. Ill not only pasture eight hogs, bul 111 pasture them well, giving th> 'erything they need. But It is >od for any other animal, he says, eatest value is as a renovator anc il builder, and In this quality It 1 w equals and no superiors. LOCAL LACONTCS achers Examination.
