(By the Associated Press.) Another day has passed with the delegates of the Allied and Associat . ?d powers in Paris awaiting in vain definite word from the Germans as to when they will be ready to sign the peace treaty. Unofficial opinion in the French capital is "that the momentous event will not take place before Saturday and possibly not until Monday. The Council of Four was informed that during Wednesday the German government was busily engaged in trying to arrange the personnel of its delegation in Versailles. The Germans thus far have given >110 intimation as to what men are to be the choice of the Bauer government. Unofficial advices indicate that the cabinet is experiencing great P-"" ^difficulty in finding men who are willing to take upon their shoulders r ' the duty of acknowledging in a document which will become world historic, Germany's utter defeat in the war and her unqualified acquiescence to the terms of the victors. Reports are that Hermann Mueller foreign secretary in the Bauer cabinet like Dr. Hainiel Von Haimhausen, declined to accept the onus for signing: a treaty admittedly obnoxious to the Germans. c Even a visit Wednesday to Versailles^ where the. members of the original German delegation still are, by the general secretary of the peace tsvn-Fa-rorkto -fnifori t.o hrinc forth anV VVUA??VMVV, ? j knowledge of what was being done in Germany toward the selection of plenipotentiaries.

OAKLAND MILL BUILDING SCHOOL AND INN The Oakland cotton mill is buildling a handsome house which will be | known as Oakland Inn. It will coni'tain twenty rooms and will be supI plied with all the modern conven fences. Hot and clod water and bath rooms and besides it has architectural beauty, and will provfe a great convenience to the community. The Oakland company is also arranging to build a nice office buildjing at the west end of the mill building and it will be fitted up for the convenience of the officers.

For their pleaslure, for their comfort, for their education and for the moral uplift in every way.

In addition j to the' stores named there is the hotel in the second floor. This has been a hotel site for many years in Newberry. In the old days inst following? the war it was a hotel.
