Paris*? Marshal Foch informed the supreme council of the acceptance by the Germans of the conditions for a renewal of the armistice. Marshal Koch appeared in person before the council of the great powers and announced the acceptance and the signing by the Germans of the new conditions of the armistice. This averts what promised to be a rather critical situation, as it had been reported that the Germans might persist in carrying out t heir intimations of a refusal to sign. The new terms, while still withheld, are understood to restrict German operations against Poland within certain fixed lines, thus removing the danger of~a nillita.-v clash, and at the same time op??.!n* access between the interior of Poland and the Baltic sea. n..? . i ?- - ? um imuic iiijxiriiini results Will take form shortly when Marshal Foch returns to Treves for submission of the details of the disarmament and demobilization of the German forces which are being formulated by the military, naval and economic dv?aors of Foch. These are of a nature amounting in fact to a preliminary peace agreement. BLOODIEST MASSACRE WOULD FOLLOW REMOVAL OF TROOPS Washington.?Roger E. Simmons, ao recently returned from a mission to Russia for the bureau of commerce. told the senate committee instigating lawless agifhtion in this ountry that If the American and allied forces wore withdrawn from northern Russia the bolsheviks would engage In one of the bloodiest massacres the world hwd ever seen. The witness sold he was surprise t at the demands made for the withdrawal of the American forces and told the commtitee every time the American and allied soldiers had found it necessary to give up ground in northern Russia, the holshevlki had swept in and inaugurated an orgy of murder of peaceful citizens. He said that before leavnig Archangel last November 3. he had found that the .-unciii-.uii troops wore well supplied and had performed great acts of heroIsm. PROTECT WILLIAM II IS NEW CRY LAUNCHED AT WEIMAR Weimar. ? "Protect William the Second." is the new cry launched in Weimar as the rallying cry of the Germans and a new attempt to revise the national feeling. A league, described as the "league of German men and women for the protection of the prsonal liberty and life of William -the Second." has been formed and issued its first appeal as a big advertisement in a leading Weimr paper. The paper is a vutrm supporter of the new government. The new cry appears to be another move along the same lines as "Out with our prisoners." which the government has adopted. The proclamation is not worthy, as it admits that Prince Henrv wits nsked to become a patron of the league. SERIOUS DISTURBANCES ARE REPORTED IN SPAIN London.?Reports of serious disturbances have been received from Spain.

DRAFT CONTAINS 26 ARTICLES | i Japanese Introduce but Drop Amend- j ment Frovidlng Against Racial Discrimination in immigration. 1 I Paris.?The Burgeois proposition ' for an inter-allied military force to en-, force peace was defeater by an ovei- ' whelming vote at the meeting of the society of nations commission. The French and the Caocho-Slovaks were the only representatives in the ! affirmative. The draft of the society of nations plans was then unanimously adopted as a whole. The final draft consists : of 26 articles. The Japanese delegation presented ' an amendment providing that racial discrimination should not be tolerated' in immigration laws.

If the society of nations desirea standardization and nnifli>?Hnn d??-1 i velopment of the captured German ! colonies which would prevent Japan from Riving a distinctly Japanese ' character to the Marshall and Carolie islands, the plans would not be acceptable to Japan, as It would hurt the national pride of her people, the i delegate said.

TAKES WORD FOR NOTHING Luat for Powar and Dominion Will Return to Huna aa Soon aa Strength Haa Been Recovered. Paris.?"There has never been any disagreement on the fundamental prin cipies or a league or nations between the French delegates or other "power*." sadi Professor Ferdinand l^arnadue. dean of the Paris law faculty and one of the French delegates on the league of nations commsision. "We do not seek an international army for the purpose of making war, but for the purpose of preventing it. "Further disturbances of the world's peace will come from Germany alone. German's unsatisfied greedy appetite, her lust lor power and domination, will return as soon as she feels strong enough to renew ber aggressions. Inasmuch ns Germany ome day will be admitted to the league of nations, what Mr. Bourgeois and myself objected to was the necessity of being placed in the position of taking Germanys' word Tor anything. The German people: have not progressed along the linos af sincerity." INTER-ALLIED FINANCIAL ALLIANCE IS ADVOCATED Paris.?An inter-allied financial alliance is strongly advocated by EdMund Therry. the French economist, in The Figaro. It should take the! form of a special organization, ho | says, to receive for joint account all , sums paid by Germany. Austria-Hungary. Bulgaria and Turkey, which it' would transform into liquidation bonds "to be distributed among the allies.' Mr. Therry points out that after the signing of peace the richest entente nations will seek to improve their monetary situation and consolidate their financial situation as rapidly as possible on a gold basis. Such consolidation would augment the difficulties of the less favored allies in converting to gold, sterling dollars or' francs, the claims they recover from 1 the enemy, on which they count to pay the debts they have contra ed, Bither with the wealthier allies or with neutrals.

FOUNDATION OF LEAGUE PLEASES ITALIAN PRESS Rome.?The whole Italian press greets with Joy and satisfaction the announcement of the foundation of the league of nations, and praises Presdent Wilson for the evidence he has shown in settling a concrete basis Tor the league before leaving America.

ARE WE "SCOOPING THE POOL7, Premier's Promise of Indemnities to Be Kept By Conference, or "Some One Has Sold the Pass." London.?The view that the terms of peace with Germany should be settled before the organization of a society of nations is dealt with was ex- , pressed in the house of commons by Horatio W. Bottomley. The preliminary treaty, he said, should be initiated and then submitted to the peoples of each country. Mr. Bottomley said he was not sure that if that were done, President Wilson would And that he snoke with such absolute authority for the United States. He said he supposed that in any case President Wilson on his return to America would find American idealism taking a very practical form in securing food contracts throughout the world and "scooping the pool whilo we are talking about a league of nations." If there had been no disagreement I at the pence conference as had been said in the king's speech, Mr. liottomley added, then the question of the , freedom of the sear had gone, the do- , minions were to be supreme regarding the Oerman colonies and the , premier's promise as to indemnities were to be carried out, or "somo one has sold the pass." ANARCHIST REGIME VIVIDLY , DESCRIBED BY REV. SIMON8. , Washington.?The bolshevik re- ( Rime in Russia was described by Rev. ( G. A. Simons. In testimony before the ] senate committee investigating lawless agitation in the United States, as t a minority military dictatorship supported by terrorism. Dr. Simons, who , for many jvaia has been head of the Methodist Episcopal church in Russia, J said most of the bolshevik leaders ( were Jews, many from the Eastside ( of New York, and that they had set aside large sums for the spread of , their doctrine in all the countries of the world. I. W.

Francis J. Heney, , former counsel for the federal trade , commission, testifying before the house interstate commerce committee, declared that within 10 years and probably within five, the five leading meat packers would control the entire food supply cf the country and would be able to charge whatever prices they desired. Mr. Heney said the packers had eT- ] tendpd their activities into so many fields they had become a menace to < the country. They now control the cheese, oleomargarine and butter markets. he said, and rapidly are obtaining a monopoly of a largo number of ITALIANS GETTING BACK TREASURE FROM VIENNA Vienna.?Italian troops and bank- J ers began removing from ji bank here i imiiK-noies. oonris ann securities , valued at 1 K00.000.000 kronken which ( had originally belonged to the city I of Trieste. The money was broughtn here for safekeeping during the war. Military trucks were backed up in front of the bank, the entrances of which were guarded. Crowds of curious onlookers watched the treasure j being removed. 1 CONFERENCE HAS NOT MADE i GOOD WITH FRENCH PRESS Paris.?The conference has not by any means made good with the press I of France and from every side a I chorus of complaint is rising at the i lack of method in its labors and the < lack of coherency in its ideas. Many 1 Frenchmen were more than surprls- 1 ed that the conference should be oc- i copying itself with the affairs of the I Jugo-SlavH, the Czecho-Slovaks and i other newcomers and not with the > frontiers of Qermany. i . _ v - ' <7- .

ARE IMPRESSED BY ARGUMENT Line* Originally Suggested by British Premier Generally Adopted by the Peace Convention Paris.?The new armistice conditions will, in effect, settle the moet important of all the peace questions, and their acceptance by the enemy, will, beyond doubt, deprive him of any opportuntyi of taking blackmail tactics when the peace treaty comes to be signed. The fresh conditions follow generally the lines suggested by Premier Lloyd George since the beginning of the discussion, and it is wrong to suppose that in this matter the British have acted as mediators betwoen extreme French and tho extreme American points of view. Both the Americans und the French have been Impressed by the arguments brought forward in favor of all three tendencies which were placed in their presence and all agreed that the British scheme was not only less open to criticism, but the Paris positively the best proposal made. The discussion has been extremely fruitful, and the result has shown the extreme alarm of French opinion as to the American attitude of no force. Another good point to remember is that the action of tho British delegates has proved once more to the French that, while the British are extreipely desirous of retaining their close friendship with the Americans, they are imbued with a sense of continental responsbilities and allainces and thus are able to act?between the old and the new worlds. SPLIT PRODUCED IN MOSCOW SOVIET BY ANARCHIST NOTE Helsingfors?A split has boon produced in the Moscow central soviet by the bolRhevist note to the allies accepting the invitation to the conference on Princes islands. Lenine and the majority want a conference, even though they think it is bound to transform the bolshevist policy into one of co-operative moderation. Zinovieff, dictator of Petrograd. Kamenoff and Bucharin openly denounce it as a diabolical plan to bury bolshevism. They accuse Trotzky, once their Robespierre, of being the Pontius Pilate of the movement, because he washed his hands of the Moscow conference to discuss the acceptance of the allies' invitation and carefully kept away from the city. At the full session of the Moscow central soviet, Lenine cried violently to his critics, "If you want to conceal your fears by this childish protest, you had better leave us. we shall lose nothing by your going. We and others must have the courage to confess freely that our communist plan Is going unquestionably to smash if we do not change our front." AMBASSADOR SHARP'S RESIGNATION ACCEPTED Washington.?President Wilson has accepted the resignation of William Braves Sharp as ambassador to Prance to take effect whon a successor qualifies. This was revealed by correspondence between the President and the ambassador, made public nt the white house without eommont.

HAMMOND DEVICE FOR RADIO CONTROL OF SHIPS SUCCESS Washington.?Army and navy experts have reported the device of John Hays Hammond. Jr., for radio control of surface craft to be sent laden with explosiives, against enemy ships, a success and predict similar results with submerged craft showing above water only wireless nt-? tennae. Results of tests wore made public In connection with the new fortifications appropriation bill. GERMANS THINK THEMSELVES ON EQUALITY WITH ALLIES Main*.?If Frankfurt is a fair criterion. Germany is rapidly recovering from the depression which followed the triumph of the revolution and the collapse of her armies. Frankfurt txas convinced me that defeated Oer many clings to the belief that she stands on a footing of equality with the allies for the perfection of the tforld. and tha.. President Wilson will lot permit the Allies to take advantage ?f their military supremacy. g&k Hi 1 V $L25 Par Tear. h??????????? PRESENTATION OF STATES EXPENSES GROWTH OF TWO ITEMS ALONE INDICATES A WELL DEFINED PROGRESSIVE POLICY. LITTLE SCENT ON FARMERS Total Value of Taxable Property Haa, Since 1909, Risen From $271,000,000 to $376,000,000. Columbia.?Interesting and enlightening information may be had from a survey of the analysis of appropriation bills of each general assembly from 1909 to 1919, inclusive. This detailed data has been compiled by W. T. Walker, clerk of the senate finance committee, and is the host Dresenta tion of the expenses of the state rovernmont from year to year on record. Growth of two ltemR from year to year clearly indicates a well defined policy of the state In progressive and substantial development. One of these items, that for public schools, has grown from $85,991.65 ten years ago to $564,023^95 last year. And the amount this year must necessarily be in excess of last year's figures, in view of the steady advancement and growth of the public school system, and the enactment of a statewide compulsory school attendance law. The appropriation for agricultural advancement remains remarkably low, although the State's wealth is largely dependent upon agriculture. The amount appropriated in 1909 for this purpose was $9,000. The amount last year wa^ only $38,000 out of a totul tax levy of $3,333,0000. The taxable property of tho State has increased from $271,000,000 to more than $376.000 000. The annual levy has climbed from five and one- * fourth mills to eight and one-fourth mills, and the total volume of taxes thus raised increased from $1,632,636.69 to $3,366,875.28.

Small Vote in Orangeburg. Orangeburg.?The result of the election held in Orangeburg county to choose a successor to Representative W. B. Derrick, who died about three weeks ago. has not yet been announced. but from reports thus far received it is believed that Dr. L? W. Busbee of Springfield was successful over his opponent. Swift Tyler. Jr., of North. At a number of precincts in the county no votes were cast in the election, which created very little interest. In the city of Orangeburg less than 60 citizens voted and It Is estimated that the entire vote for the * county was less than 200. Gas Fumei Cause Death. Charleston.?Silas Yonce. a farmer ? * of Johnston, 85 years of age, was asphyxiated at a hotel here, when ho turned on a gas burner, but failed to light the burners, evidently being un familiar with the workings of the radiator.

Accidental death waa the verdict at the coroner'a Inqueat. Th?? remains were sent to Johnston. Mr. Yonce came hero with his son. who spent tho evening away from the hotel on business. An Old Mason Dead. Charleston ? John Harlston. 88 years old. widely known among Masons. died here. Mr. Harlston was tried in New York for piracy after his capture in the Confederate privateer Savannah. The result was a* mislrial. Other officers and members of the Savannah's crew were also tried. After that they were incarcerated in Fort Delaware. Tho trial attracted wide attention. In his 20's Mr. Harlston was a Texas rancher and enlisted with the Texas rangers, getting a taste of Indian fighting. Meets Tragic Death. Union.?T. C.
