WILSON CHALLENGES
LEAGUE OF OPPONENTS.
Paris, May 30.?Facing thousands'
of white crosses marking the graves
of American soldiers dead in the
beautiful little cemetery of Suresnesi
overlooking Paris, President Wilson j
today flung a challenge to the opponents
of the League of Nations in the
course of his Memorial day address.
"You are aware that the standards
of the old order are attempting
to reassert themselves," the
president said.
Declaring that these standards are
the roots of war, he added: "Any
man who so counsels is an advocate
of a renewal of war, for if this is
not the final fight there will be another
which will be final."
The League of Nations, the president
said, is a covenant to insure
that the men who gave their lives
in battle did not die in vain.
"The nation drawing out of this
common agreement," he said, "would
betray the human race. As union soldier
gave their lives for the freedom
of the American nation, these
" - -* -IV- *
men gave tneirs ior uic unuvu v*|
the world." j
Marshal Foch Present.
The ceremonies were attended by
New York, May 30.?The funeral (
Derby and other dignitaries. Wreaths
wer laid on American graves by .
French and Americans alike.
The president praised the women
of Suresnes who were responsible '
for the beautifully kept graves.
"The dead have done their utmost
to show they died in a great cause," .
he said. "They left it to us to see
that this cause was never betrayed,
whether in war or peace." - !

ILL JULY 1 END
* QUART-A-MONTH1
ttorney General Will Soon Answer
This Question Which Many Have
Asked.
Will national prohibition, which
es into effect July 1, stop the quart
month practice in Abbeville and
roughout the State?
This is a question which has been
rplexing many of those who regurlv
eo or send to the probate
dge's office for permits, and it is a
estion that has also been prounded
to the attorney general a
mber of times lately.
In an effort to settle the matter
;torney General Wolfe and Assistt
Attorney General Lumpkin have
nsidered the matter and have deled
to render an opinion. They
ve written to Washington for a
py of the national war-time prohi:ion
measure and as soon as this
received they will study it carelly,
and will then render an opinl.
They may also get an opinion
>m United States Attorney GenerPalmer,
regarding the effect of
2 war-time measure on the quartnonth
law.
The office of Probate Judge Miller
s received no instructions to stop
uing permits after July 1, and it
possible that "customers" will be
le to obtain a quart a month for
idical purposes as the law now proles,
as the amendment provides for
2 prohibition of its sale as a bevere.
There is no definite information
this subject.
While it is certain that the prohi
;ion alw will stop the sale of liquor
a beverage, it is not known whethor
not it may still be sold for
Hlicinal purposes. In the event it'a
le for medicinal purposes it pertted,
it is believed that local resints
will still be able to obtain the
lart a month in the same manner as
is procured now.
OWN YOUR HOME.
. < (The Chicago Tribune.)
If the English language had devel
>ed during the modern age of apart
ents we should have no such wort
"home." Merely the annual shift
g about would prevent the accre
>n of those associations which giv<
e word its cherished quality. Anc
e worst of it is if we continue t<
re in apartments and rented house:
s shall lose those associations am
I they denote.
The home owner is inclined to b<
ntemptuous of apartment dwellers
e says they are apt to be childless
equently lazy, often fond of men
irishness, and usually of unstabh
sposition. The indictment is un
ir, but, on the other hand, w<
1J 1_ - * " 1 5 .
ouia scarcely minx 01 unn^ui(
ese counts against home owners.
We do know that the unstabilitj
' apartment dwellers is notorious
id no one deplores it more than th?
>artment owners. Some person)
em actually to live in moving yaini
id we are not speaking of the fam
es that cannot afford to pay th<
nt.
The present shortage of apart
ents has, of course, greatly stimu
ted the buying of homes. We hop<
e movement will continue. For thi
rifty it may be observed that ai
ng as he lives in an apartment h<
ill have to assist the owner in pay
g his income tax?no inconsidera
e item?whereas, if he owns hii
en home, he will at least save thai
uch. We doubt whether it is anj
nger true, except in special cases
at it is cheaper to pay rent than tc
ly.
It cannot be cheaper in the long
in if a man has any pride in posses^
?n or finds satisfaction in the famr
life of the home, using the wore
its traditional sense.
EATING UP THE ANIMALS.
An unusual phase of the food
ortage situation in Germany which
is just come to light is the fact that
;rman children will look in vain foi
e circus of pre-war splendor durS
some time to come. The jungle
lasts, which once so delighted
em, were sacrificed for food during
e hungry days their country sufred
before the signing of the arm;ice.
inis miormauon is contameu m a
te report issued by the American
ilief Administration, No. 115
oadway. The Hagenbeck collec)n
shrank from three hundred tc
cty animals during the four years
the war.
COTTON SEED FREED
FROM ALL CONTI
New York, May 30.?The Air
can relief administration, of w
Herbert Hoover is director, annoi
ed today that the food adminis
| tion had canceled all rules rela
to the cotton seed industry and
withdrawn all regulations and ag
ments regarding cotton seed and
products manufactured there f
including lard substitutes as f
May 31. The statement added:
"As practically all the cotton s
of the past season's production
been marketed at the stabilized p
and the major portion of the nu
factured products has been dispt
of on the basis of the price ag
ments and the remaining quantity
manufactured products is so near
average stocks at this time of y
th'ere is no further necessity for <
trol of the industry."
