Scraps and .fads. r-Two remarkable endurance flights by the navy dirigible A-236 from the naval air station at Key West, Fla_, one lasting 32 hours and covering 750 miles and the other 40 hours 'and 48 minutes and covering about 850 mllee, constituting a service record, were described In official reports made public in ' Washington Saturday night. Rising winds and threatening storms stopped the first flight November 24, although sufficient fuel and oil remained for eight more hours. The second trip made December 24-26 was under overcast skies with a wind ranging from 20 to 36 miles an hour.

President Wll^n was urged In a cablegram sent Alday -by a joint 4* comfmtttee from the cotton states to raise the embargo on cotton. Senator Smith of South Carolina, who with Representative Lever of that - state, are chairmen of the senate and house committee, said he >.was appealed to because it Was believed impossible to enact during the present session legislation amending the cotton futures act. "We ask that embargo on cotton be lifted. Necessity urged, especially for low grades, which depend for consumption on foreign markets now un.. der embargo. We also trust you may provide for cotton shipments to Germany and Austria so soon as it is consistent with the policy agreed upon." Sjgnlng the cablegram were Senator Smith of South Carolina, Simmons, Sheppard, McKellar and Smith of Georgia, and Representatives Lever, Lee of Georgia, Hefln, Toung of Texas, and Jacoway of Arkansas. ? Premier Clemenceau of France, took occasion to denounce the New York Tribune In the chamber of deputies last Friday. He said that the Tri had filed a report DUI1DB VUUCOfviiuv to the effect that President Wilson had threatened that unless certain stipulations of his were acceeded to he would withdraw American troops from Europe and himself withdraw from the peace conference. When shown the statement, said Mr. Clemenceau, President Wilson replied: "What an abominable falsehood." It turned out later that the contents of the dispatch had been published in the chamber of deputies before they wer? received in the Tribune office in New York. The Tribune published the dispatch in full, it merely told of the existence of a rumor to the effect complained of. That is, it said that such a story was being: circulated among high officials in Parla Another very Important circumstance in connection with the matter was the .. disclosure that the French government was reading, if not actually censoring the dispatches that were being filed in the French cable- offices by American correspondents. New York World, Sunday: Two days out of Brest, on Jan. 6, Corpl. E. O. Williams of Alrlie N. C.. stricken with appendicitis, aboard the amored cruiser South Dakota, which docked Hoboken, yesterday. His condition was so critical that an operation was decided on, though the vessel was being battered by a storm that smashed the ininrAd Bpven men in the uwrci ui iugvt - v - T , pilot house and flung: many sick and wounded from their bunka Capt. J. M. Luby stopped the warship. Corpl. Williams was placed on an operating table. Lieut. Commander C, L Wpod, ships surgeon and Major B. F. Cressman, surgeon of an aero squadron - aboard, were lashed to either side of the table as they started to operate 15kne and again the cruiser rolled and -uoetaad In seas that sometimes broke .forty feet high. Frequently the surgeons were in danger of cutting themselves with their instruments or injuring the patient. At each lurch of the ship the surgeons and attendants braced, themselves. Then, as the cruiser for a few moments regained her poise they resumed the operation. .At the end of forty-five minutes, the "" operation completed, Corpl. Williams Was rushed to the sick bay. By morning "he had begun to improve. When ihe South Dakota docked he was re ported to be fretting because ne couia not walk ashore. However, he was , carriedsln aa ambulance to St. Mary's hospital, Hoboketv His condition last night was good. ? The armistice between the Allies and Germany has been extended one month, the agreement to that effect fwlng signed by Matthias Erzberger. the German armistice commissioner, .-at Treves last Wednesday, according - ,to m Berlin despatch received from Amsterdam. The meeting between Marshal Foch and the German delegates was featured by protests by Matthias Erzberger, representing the Germans, against the status In which Germany was left during the period of the armistice. The "financial and eoonomic dictatorship of the Entente" was the theme of his main protest. "When will you raise the blockade?" Herr Erfberger asked. "The food conditions in Germany are daily ^growing worse and hunger will pro <111 oe p jneniai siaie which me aiucd cannot desire. Your people themselves are not proof against a world revolution. Will the Entente," he continued, "undertake binding obligations respecting the return of the German prisoners of war? When will you be in a position to conclude a preliminary peace? Germany has asked six times for negotiations for a preliminary peace but has received no reply." Herr Erzbergcr, who made these -statements in a speech opening the proceedings, declared the Germans had fulfilled the terms of the armistice up to the limit of possibility. In the cases in which the terms had not been complied with the Entente was - responsible, he insisted, especially so as regarded the delivery of transport material. Hcrr Erzberger complained that the freedom of movement had been impeded between the occupied territory and the rest of Germany, and he declared that the measures taken by ,the Allies in Alsace-Lorraine proved ?hat France aimed to anticipate the -decision of the peace conference by annexing the provinces without respecting the right of the people to self-determination, The causes offered by the Allies concerning agricultural implements. Russian prisoners of war, naval conditions and tfcte restitution of matoriaJ stolen by tho Germans from invaded countries also were signed by .the enemy delegate, miaou pavenstein, president of the Imperial -bank fit .Germany (the Reichsbank), has been /ordered to Spa by Marshal Foch according to a despatch from Berlin, to attend a conferonce concerning the .Entente financial demands on Ger. many. The peace conference, destined to be historic, and on which the eyes of the world are now centered, was opened Saturday afternoon in the great Salle de La Parix." The proceedings, which were confined to the election of George Clemenceau, the French premier, as premanent chairman of the conference, an address of welcome by the president of the French republic, Raymond Poincare, and speeches tjy President Wilson, Premier Lloyd -George and Baron Sonnlno, were -characterized by expressions of lasting friendship and the apparent determination of the representatives of the various nations to come to an amicable understanding with respect to the pro blems to be decided by the conference. When President Poinc&r* spoke, the entire assembly stood, and the fact that, according to custom, no applause greeted his utterance gave great solemnity to the scene. M. Clemenceau'a acceptance of the presidency of the congress was both a feeling expression of personal gratitude and a definite nile outline of the great questions Immediately ahead. Three of these larger general subjects he defined as responsibility for crimes during the u-flj- and international labor legislation. The league of nations, he declared, was at the head of the programme for the next full session. "Our ambition Is a great and noble one," said M. Clemenceau. "We wish to avoid a repetition of the catastrophe which bathed the world in blood. If the league of nations is to be practical we must all remain united. Let us carry out our program quickly and in an effective manner." Referring to the authors of the war, he said he had consulted two eminent Jurists on the penaJ responsibility of the former German emperor, and each delegation would receive a copy of that report. In all 72 seats were provided for the opening session of the peace conference. On .. the outer aide of the great horseshoe were arranged the J&paneae, the British and colonial delegate* and the seat of the fifth British delegate. A chair for the fifth American" delegate also was reserved Immediately to the right of the table of honor. The Italian. Bolivian delegatea Premier ClemenPeruvian, Portuguese, (Serbian, Czecho and Uruguayan delegates sat in the order named. Across' the right wing of the table sat the Siamese, Rumanian, Polish, Liberian, Hedjar, Guatemalan, Ecuadorian, Chinese and rSjivian Hniamtcs. Premier Clemen ceau announced that the league of nations 'would be the first subject taken up at the next-full meeting1 of the conference. \lorkviltf (Inquire* Entered at the Postofflce at York as Mail Matter of the Second Class. TUESDAYTJANUARY 21, 1919. \N *The New York Wofld continues to represent the prohibition movement as "biggotry," despite the fact that the present situation is due to the action of more thafn two-thirds of the states acting through their respective legisla tures by almost unanimous votes, it all this is blggotry, then indeed is America a biggoted nation- We are unable to see any good reason why Germany and Austria should not have all the southern cotton they want to pay for. Germany and Austria both want cotton, and we dare say that they are now getting limited supplies at high prices. If these markets should be thrown up, the southern farmer would get a reasonable share of the benefit. , It Was the lato Horace Greeley who said that the darkest hour in any young man's life is when he begins to brood ovel* the desire to acquire fortune and ease without honestly working for them. The saying was true then find it is just as true now. Fortune may, under circumstances, be acquired without honest effort; but fortune so acquired cannot bring real comfort or pleasure. To be worth while, money must be earned by hard work. It was found that there was absolutely no place even in the army for the boy who could not read nor write. Parents should ponder this well. The only means oy wmcn mcj .??? for the advancement of their children le education. Th$ old argument of men having made success in life without educational advantages ii> no good any more,. because the time for that has passed. Such a thing was possible under conditions when education was less general than it Is now; but it is not possible under existing conditions. The report of the French commission, consisting of Ferdinand Larnaude and Dr. A. O. Laplaw, appointed by the government, to Investigate the criminal culpability of Kaiser William, etc., has been flled. The report holds that as the head of the German nation, with Individual authority, claimed to be derived only from God, instead pf the people, the kaiser should be held individually responsible for all the offenses against right, justice and the taws of God perpetrated by his direct mancl- Ura<rs ox xne Kaiser are ijuuicg to show that he ordered qiurder, rapine and arson. The Commission holds that the kaiser should be tried by a tribunal especially constituted from among the nations that are at grar with Germany. General elections of delegal ;s to the proposed constituent assembly were held throughout Germany on Sunday, and were attended with much disorder. There were serious election riots throughout the rural districts all over the empire and much othsr disorder. The killing of Dr. Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg in Germany recently, figured largely in these disorders, Social navp uwn awnwuru, iu say uic icnoi ui It. The news print paper situation is steadily and surely growing more desperate than it has ever been. When the Federal trade commission some time ago fixed the price of print paper at $3.10 f. o- b., manufacturers openly ? declared that they could better afford to close their mills than try to sell paper at less than $4. They gave as a i reason increased cost of chemicals, higher cost of labor, and inability to get labor at any price. November rei ports showed that 'eleven of 61 newsprint producing mills had gone out of business, and many other manufacturers are saying that they do not see any way of continuing to live except by converting their machinery- to other kinds of paper. The production of news print in 1918 is said to have been i 100,000 tons short of what would 1 have been expected in normal times. Authoritative statements are to the effect that many large papers are making contracts with the paper mills at *4 per hundred, and usually such contracts involve the entire output of the mills concerned. It is freely predicted that many established papers will have to still further raise prices or go out of % 2-. . ' ... ? f. business, and others will have to so out ot business throush Inability to set paper even at the advanced price. Several joint resolutions havo been introduced in the house and senate looking to the submission to the people of the question of calling a constitutional convention. So far, no good reason has been advanced why a constitutional convention should be held- About all the information that can be gathered Is that certain people want the convention because they want it All such bills have to go to the the Judiciary committee of the house, and so far that committee has not looked favorably upon the proposition. One of the members puts it like this: "The suprqpie court has Just about finished the Interpretation of the constitution of 1895 until we understand it The people have so far ratified every amendment to the constitution that the general assembly has seen proper to propose and there is no reason to suppose that they will turn down any other good sensible amendment that may be necessary. The holding of a convention would mean a lot of profitless agitation and in the event it should be called a lot of heavy expense. There is not a single suggestion before the people that would seem to warrant-serious consideration along this line.1' Such is now the view of a majority of the Judiciary committee, and so far as can be learn-i ed, there is no reason to anticipate that this view will be changed. , The Business of It. The fanners of York county are better off right now than they have ever been. We mean the farmers as a whole and from a financial standpoint. But the reason the farmers are bet- i ter off is because they have given more ' attention to the production of foodstuffs during the past two years than 1 _ __ _ ; mey nave ever given oeiorw. i War conditions have induced people to make at home many of the things they have previously been buying from abroad, and they have been able to save the money that they would 'iave Otherwise paid out for these things. - The lesson of the situation is to keep on with the practice of the pest two years. Raise all supplies at home and then raise all the cotton that can be raised as a surplus. This plan will, if followed out, dominate the situation for every man who practices it. V Case of Senator La Follstte. By a vote of 50 to 21 Jhe United slates senate on last Thursday dismissed the disloyalty charges against Senator La Follette of Wisconsin. Tha charges involved are those which grew out of alleged utterances of Senator La ^ollette before the ' ??qpi-Parttean League at St. PauU Minnesota, on September 20. J917. i Seventeen Democrat# and Re- ' publicans voted to disrated the charges J and one Republican and twenty Democrats voted to let the charges stand. Thte te as it should be. except that we do not think It was creditable to i any Democrat to vote for the con- < demnatlon of Senator La Follctte. It "is our deliberate judgment that i Senator LaFollette is as able and < patriotic a man as there is in the pub- | lie life of the United .^Jates, and furthermore, we believe that every really ] honest member of congress, whether -i ?- - i 1. *V, I in (He iiyutsr ui ooiwic, ucuocn VHC we (thing;. \ Senator f+a. FoHette xwas not in sympathy with Germany ip this war, nor in especial sympathy with England or j France; but his concern was for the i well-being of the American people. 1 Knowing as he did from the lessons , of jthe pdst, the character of the < elements with which he had to deal, ' Senator M- FolipUe .was willing to | risk martyrdom ih effort jto protect the honest labor pf this country < from the profiteers and money sharks 1 who were certain to consider the war only as a means of swelling their own private fortunes. . It was the profiteering clement, an 1 element that was not so much con- 1 cerned about the welfare of the coun- ( try as a whole, as it was about the \ anticipated uppuriiiiiii.y ju/ iniicu Hi the expense of the people that raised j the furore about Senator La Pollette, ] and the charges were preferred more I as a means of getting such a troublesome man out of ihe way than any- ( thing else. " The Non-Partisan League Is com- " posed mainly of hard-working farmers, who are generally content with an honest llvjrtg; but who at the same time ( are yeyy pnuch concerned because of the depredations of a certain class . of parasytee who .would take every- ; thing they have, oven to the bread out of their mouths, in oydey tha? tfrey . themselves may enjoy lives, pot of mere luxury; but rather of wasteful 1 extravagance. { This is po indictment, or even im- , plication v against the honest and < useful rich and prosperous; but 1 against those who take tolls from la- ( bor, against dishonestly acquired terminal facilities, by means of elevator ! monopolies, by hog, cattle and grain 1 corners and the like. I It will be remembered that Senator i La Follette wanted to take for war 1 purposes about 80 per cent of war | profits, and goodness knows 20 per cent, flh a big investment is a plenty for anybody, evep }n peace times. Governor Burnquist of Minnesota, ( is an autocrat of autocrats and a Bourbon of the Bourbons. If ho h?d lived in the middle ages, or more recently in Germany, everybody on his estate would probably have been his slave, and very likely he would huve had the lash applied to anybody who was even suspected of claiming the same right 1 to liberty of thought and action that he exercised for himself. ( La Follette was a marked man already because of the ability and power with which he had already stood for real Democracy in the nation, and rival aspirants to the highest political preferment that is offered under the American government, had it in for ( ' him to "do him" on the first opportunity. 7"he charges of Burnquist, who is not only a Republican who is very ...nk <00- nf nrhai th" Non-Parti ' san League may do to him; but govern- , or of the state, and as such chairman of the Minnesota "Council of Defense," | furnished just the opportunity that La Toilette's enemies had been look- 1 ing for. especially in view of the tense conditions of the time, and they were not slow to go after the man t i who had been giving them so much j concern. But it was not long after the filing . ' of the charges that the politicians of i >oth parties began to 'realise thi .hey had gotten hold of a pretty h< >rlck. They knew that the chargi ,vere not true to begin with, and the iaw also from the Wisconsin electloi hat the political assassination of M La Follett* would raise a row in tl nlddle northwest that would pro> nore disastrous everf than the pow< >f Germany. The La Follette case was adjourn< to drag and drag and at last it lu been disposed of in the most senslb manner possible; but as to whethi the country has heard the last of It to say the least, doubtful. Dr. Karl Liebknecht and Roi Luxemburg, leaders of the Spartict revolutionaries in Germany, we lynched in Berlin last Friday nigfc Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg a held responsible for the uprlslr against the Ebert government, whl< uprising resulted in much street flgh Ing and several hundred deaths < both sides. When eventually the go' srnment got the upper hand of the si nation and dispersed the Spartlcan Dr. Liebknecht and Rosa Luxembui were not to be found. There was tr mendous excitement against the tv and there was no rea*6n to doubt thi that they would be lynched if the m< :ould lay hands on them. Detectlvi listening at tapped wires overheard telephone conversation between E Ldebknecht and Rosa Luxembur making an appointment to meet at M house of a man named Horcusso where the Sparticans had been holdlr meetings. After their arrest they wet started to prison by different routes I automobiles guarded by soldiers- Tl automobile in which Liebknecht wi riding, broke down from a punctun tire.

Sunday, the nineteenth of January, a was the anniversary of the birth of ** Oen. Robert E.

The id place of the celebration is Known w ie the "Queen of the Pyrenees." The aue" dlence Included 300 French wounded. W. Bedford Moore, of Yorkvllle, was ie the secretary in charge, and delivered ly the introductory speech in French, tell ing the audience of the origin and r. meaning of Thanksgiving, etc., and apt plying the American Thanksgiving r>* sentiment to the conditions then ex^ isting, immediately following the re signing of the armistice. The occasion is described as both delightful and interesting. . v ie Tiiere has been more or less com^ plaint over the state because of the al,d leged failure of the oil mills to buy e- cotton seed as freely as heretofore, rt While in Marlboro, not long ago, the ?* editor of The Enquirer wan told that id many farmers had. been hampered in their business because of inability to 2" dispose of their cotton seed. The rec(. ords show that the Marlboro'oil mills ie have, purchased less seed than up to r* this date last year. The same thing pf is true of a number of mills throughin out the state, The mlljs of the state of as a whole, howevv, have bought over 10,000 tons more seed this year iy than last year, and the figures of the ie Yorkvllle Oil mill show an increase of about 1,600 tons. Last year this mill III had bought only 1,500 tons of seed up ie to this date, and this yeaj; it has al^ ready bought over 3,100 tons. i_ Hie death oft Rev. W. B. Arrowood ie marks the passage of a genuine soldier of the cross, whose life was a record of duty. Mr. Arrowood was a thoroughgoing Christian. He knew no ^ Master except the Savior, whom he n~ served, and tye led as well as pointed the way. Np, he was not always popfilar wfth the multitude, nor did he m desire tp be. The world's ways were ltd pot his vays, npr did hp Relieve the n* world1# way wa# Christ's way. He was B. unwilling tp conform tp ways that Ife did ppt believe to be Chpist's way, 2n merely for the pafte of agpeeablepess. ae But let it not be ifndepstopd that he was contrary pr quarrelsome- Far from a- it. Whenever he pould be of service, of ~ Christian service, there he delighte# tp be; but he did not force himself UP?n ie those who wanted noflb of blm- MrJ*t Arrowood preaphed the word in stm^ plicity and truth and with confident >0 fearlessness. His life has been one iy that has been worth while, g? With reference to the location of the ie proposed bridge across Catawba river, until recently nothing had been said of any other crossing; except at Wright's ferry. That is nothing had been said tp the legislative delegation. Wright's fer'rv is three and a half miles due * - r ITT IS rnr In soyth Qf the Gaston county Jine, and it M is so/tie distance due west of the most ^ northerly point of Fort Mill township, p. These three miles are across a bridge t- of Mecklenburg county. Recently ie there has been, talk of locating the 8t bridge at Price's or Boyd's ferry, two rs miles nprth of Wright's and one and a n- half milpp south of t^ie Gaston line, jj) The principal reason given for the higher locatipn is the unsatisfactory cpydltlon of the apprpache&to the river at Wright's. The ropey drops into the" "second bottoms," of the piver here several thousand fpet from the ptrpam, b. and the approaches tp the bridge from 8 the south country side wpuld necessa^ Hly be over 0 Jong trestle. That this T. would involve considerable extra expense in the construction of the j" bridge 1b evident; but also it is evident that the higher up the river the bridge a shall be located the more inconvenient it would be as a means of communication between upper Fort Mill and In Bethel townships of York county. So aiso wiji it mean uiuitjiucu uioioiicc gr * :? \. . ; . between upper Fort ^lill and Yorkyille. So far as The Enquirer has inis formation there is no sharp controvert sy .over the question of location: but it is a fact that when the York delega:k Mop in the general assembly commute ted Itself to the proposition to provide ^ one-third "of the expense of building ig the bridge if Mecklenburg would pro?it vide the other twp-thirds, it had in mind only the Wright's ferry location. iy It is not to be understood, however, in that the delegation has closed its mind Is- to further suggestionso. a- ?

There was held at Winthrop college last Saturday a meeting whloh, if followed up, promises much for the present and future progress apd development 6f York county. The special object of the meeting was consideration of existing conditions with reference 16 the best means of making the most our of the county's resources in people and materb for the common benefit, present and future. The meeting had its origin in the efforts of Prof. John F. Thomasson and' Miss Leila Russell, supported by Dr. D. B. Johnson, and although the attendance, because of the condition of the roads, the influenza situation and other drawbacks was not as good as it should have* been, the plain, practical talks that were made parried enthusiastic conviction as to the splendid possibilities of thte movement. Dr. I>. B1. Johnson Introduced the object of the meeting in la short, practical talk, in Which'he pointed out the desirability of seeking progress through co-operative' effort ' rather than leave matters of the greatest community interest to individual Interest and Inclination FJe Wanted to find means by which the abilities and en'ergles of every Individual coujd bjB identified, recognized ana pmd? to count piopt for the common welfare, instead of being lost tp the lndividpal apd to tpe community through lack of propef'encour aficmcuv. The ptpong speeches of tfte Conference were made by Dr, Henry 3?. Jackson of the United States bureau of education and Dr. Bradford Knapp, chief of the extension bureau of the United States department of agriculture. Both of thtae have been working on the subject for years, and are far advanced in it both practically and theoretically. During his talk, Dr. Jackson made a very pertinent observation as to southern aptness for organizations that do not count for anything. Nothing is easier than to perfect an organization by the election of president, vice president, secretary and the appointment of committees; but usually that ends the matter, for as a general rule committees fail to function, and nothing is done.' The really effective organization is that in which every individual member concerned takes it upon himself to stimulate' interest and" enthusiasm among all the others to be benefitted, and all work to the common end. He outlined the'big idea that is now being developed 1 by "the extension bureau, looking to the establishment of better intra-Commtpilty intercourse and commerce by means of motor-truck commaer.a onH n/llnttfH ntlf' ttlA Pilsv nrftP. tlcabiljty of creating ' a quick, ready aqd Sthblp inar|?et for many bommodities that now go to waste while a waiting the uncertain opportunity of their owners to cqqvert' then} lntp cash or other vajue more useful to the owners than the articles themselves, Jig threw oqt the suggestion that the government on fairly reliable evidence of willingness for appreciative co-operation, stood ready to undertake the county organisation of a motor-truck transportation system and left the impression that York might do well to seize the opportunity. Dr. Knapp talked along the line of economic development, or learning to make the best use of means airi facilities at hand, and of making constant^ steady and persistent use of that kndwledge. Several other speakers made a few general' remarks on Special subjects, and as the odtcome of the. meeting it was understood that the Work thus so intelligently 'commenced would be pushed as rapifl|y\as possible in the different neighborhoods of the county. 1 i ' transfers Qt r^al estate.

It Is not yet dlear what the outcome of the eleotions will be, whether they will be regarded as sufficiently representative to command confidence or whether they will leave the situation less chaotic than If was before. It is suggested that the Eber-Scheidemann government may change its mind about the call of the constituent assembly appointed for Febr **ry 1$. Governor Manning has sent to the senate with his.veto Senator Banks's : bill to insure cotton in state warehouses by the sinking fund commission. The idea of the bill is to give cotton farmers insurance a t nearly cost, and also make a fair profit for the sinking fund capital employed in the business. Also the bill contemplated taking away from the Insurance companies the power they now have saying where cotton shall -?.nd shall 1 aqt be stored. Governor Manning gives a nymber of more or less specious reasons for his veto, as was fully anticipated he would .40- Nobody expected him to sign the bill and the only way he could have surprised aaytopdy in connection with it would have been by vetoing it last winter.
