In Mexico, we are first of all American
citizens and do not wish to make
any move which could in any way
prejudice a question which always appears
to be a subject for agitation

PRESIDENTS WEIL SATISFIED
The Revised Covenant is Practically
Finished and is in Hands of Committee
for Final Drafting.
President Wilson, who has virtually
been silent since his return to Paris,
believes the time is opportune for a
statement which will ullay apprehension
over the delay and show the revision
of the covenunt of the league of
nations had proceeded at night hessiors.
without any interruption to the
other :.iuin questions.
President Wilson issued the following
statement:
"In view of the very surprising impression
which seems to exist in some
quarters that it is the discussions of
the committee on the' league of na
tion that are delaying the final formulation
of peace. I am very glad to take
the opportunity of reporting that the
conclusion of this commission were
the first to be laid before the plenary
conference.
"During the last few davs the commission
has been engaged in an efTort
to take advantage of the criticisms
which the publication of the covenant
has fortunately drawn out. A committee
of the commission has also had
the advantage of a conference with
representatives of the neutral states
who are evidencing a very deep interest
and a practically unanimous desire
to align themsolves with the league.
"The revised covenant is now practically
finished. It is in the hands of
a committee Tor the final process of
drafting und will almost Immediately
be presented a second time to the
public.
"The conference of the commission
have invariably been held at times
when they could not interfere with
the consultation of those who have
undertaken to formulate the general
conclusions of the conference with regard
to the many other complicated
problems of peace. So that the mem
bers of the commission congratulate
themselves on the fact no part of their
conferences hnve ever Interposed any
form of delay."
SPIRIT OF OLD GERMANY
SHOWN IN MARKED MANNER
Berlin.?General Hoffman, real victor
at Tannenberg, and General von
Lettow-Verbeck are forming a new
volunteer corps as a division of guards
to preserve order at home, and protect
the frontiers of the empire.
Before the Bismarck statue in Keonigplatz,
the national union of German
officers, with the imperial colors at
the head of which was a band of officers
playing the kaiser hymn, formally
made an oath of allegiance in the
form of a resolution regarding the
frontiers of the empire founded by
the "Iron Chancellor."
Just as the procession was passing
the British embassv. General Ludendorff
turned the corner from Vaterden
Linden. Some one recognized him and
in an Instant he was surrounded and
there were wild cheers. Ludendorff
was obviously perturbed by the demonstration.
which in the present mood
of suspician against him entertained
by many can do him no good service.
BERLIN GOVERNMENT PROTEST
ANENT LUDENDORFF INCIDENT
Berlin.?The government has protested
to armv officer* uMinot
demonstration they gave for General
LudendorfT on the ground that it has
given opponents an opportunity to
assert that everything Is the same in
Germany as under the former emperor.
If LudendorfT asked for a tribunal to
hear his case, the government, It is
announced, would grant his request
and would see that it was composed
of impartial persons.
AUSTRALIA FIRMLY OPPOSED

of Australia, made the statement
to the '.Associated Press that ho

Certain Amendments Have Been
Agreed Upon That Are Designed to

j Paris.?Persistent efforts, principally
by the American delegates, but sec;
onded tor the most part by the British
I and Italians, to speed up the work
of the various councils and commisj
sions preparing the details of the peace
! treaty, resulted in belter progress durj
ing the closing days of the past week,

! attained during the present week is
predicted by those who are in a position
to speak, including the disposition
of the Monroe doctrine and reparations.
the two subjects which have ,
been the main obstacles to the completion
of the treaty.
The most stubbornly contorted subject
was that of reparations, and it
is suggested that the delay in this
case cannot be charged up to the
Americans, but rather to the pre-e'ec;
tion promises of Premier L.loyd George
and Premier Clemenceau to make the j
j Germans pay the whole cost of the
i war, which have led to some embar|
rnssmcnt, because of the patent ina-j
bility of the enemy to pay more than 1
u fraction of the enormous indemnity !
I that will be required for that purpose.'
However, real progress has been '
made in bringing about an agreement
j on the total amount of indemnity and
the terms of payment, on a basis of
painstaking studies of the exact state
of German industries and resources1
' at the present time and prospects for
the future made by the financial cora1
missions of the conference.
Although President Wilson has stated
that the league of nations covenant
did not delay the progress of the
' treaty, because the work of the other
commissions was equally essential to
, ita completion, the subject has been
; the subject of much anxiety and
close study during the past week. The

DIFFICULT OF EXAGGERATION
Germany Not Now at Our Feet Unable
to Resist Payment of Any Sentence
Allies Might Impose.
I
Paris.?Announcement of the outbreak
of a bolshevist revolution in
Hungury has produced something approaching
panic in the Paris peace conference.
The fact itself has surprised
those who have been warned re-'
peatdly for the last four months of
facts as contrasted with theories of
the eastern European situation, nor
does the Hungarian incident complete
the list of anxieties. Paris knows that
the bolshevists have conquered Hungary.
It knows also that the Rumanian
situation is becoming critical,
and it has almost geenral teatiniony
from those returning from Poland that
Poland is Cbmpletely undermined by
bolshevists. ,
It would be difficult to exaggerate'
the gravity of the situation in Europe
as a result of four months without de- (
cision following the victory of last November.
Then, Germany was ct our
feet, prepared to accept our sentence,
incapable of resisting it.
Today it is the testimony of many
who know Germany that Germany
will sign no treaty of peace such as
wa mav iBAmotlmo 41? * -%?
.. _ ^ ? iui iiiuiaio, Uldl Hn6
will invite us to ocoupy her territory,
believing that our armies of occupation
will be corrupted by bolshevism,
while her property will be protected
from dometic disorder.
As it stand3 now., the Paris conference
has reached a deadlock wholly
comparable with the deadlock which
existed in tho congress of Vienna that
when Napoleon returned from Elbu.
Conceivably the news of advancing
bolshevism will act upon the Paris
conference as the bad news of the
landing of tho great emperor.
THOUSANDS OF JEWS KILLED
IN POGROM IN BUENOS AIRES
I
New York.?Thousands of Jews
were slaughtered in a "pogrom" conducted
in Buenos Aires January 9. according

According to this report, a "white
guard" raided the Jewish quarters,
"killing a number that cannot be estimated
because all the bodies were
buried in a common grave." Jews
and persons who lesembled Jews were
stopped on the street, it was said, and
even vynagogues were raided on the
grounds that Maximalists were being
hidden there from the police.

whether shipments may be made
prior to the complete establishment o?

as to whether or not commercial rela

It Is said that this is the first

Germany may be sent to the 1'nited

hnve the plans been mode that
even the chief of the American secret
service squad is uninformed as to
when the meeting.-; will take place.
Up to the present some of the newspapers
have carried in their morning
editions a achedule of the movements
of President Wilson, with the result
that crowds invariably gathered to
witness the arrival of President Wilson
and his conferees.
There has been no special incident

Qovtrnor Cooper Says Board of Truetees
of State University Are In
Full Accord With Dr. Currell.
Columbia.?Governor Cooper gav?
out the following statement as chairman
of the board of trustees of the
University of South Carolina in answer
to the petition of the students
asking for a change in the university
administration:
"A special meeting of the board of
trustees of the University of South
Carolina wlll.be called before June to
consider the action of a part of the
student body in asking for the resignation
of President CtirreU. This
meeting w-U not hp for the purpose
of examining into the merits of the
opinions expressed by the students in
their pet'tion. but to consider conditions
existing in the student body and
to discover the cause of these conditions.
"The- trustees have no idea of parmitting
the students to dictate who
shall be president. Dr. Curroll has
been duN elected, the trustees have
full con ft donee in him. and at this
time there is no disposition on the
part of the board to dispense with his
services.
"The trustees can not allow the
presidency of the university to lose
its prestige locally or with the outside
educational world. This prestige
will surely he lost if student rule were
allowed to go beyond its proper
bounds. Conditions in the student
hody leading to demoralization can
not be tolerated.
"The people of the State may he assured
the trustees will not slur over
the affairs of the university. Its best
interests will be safeguarded."
Another Change of Form.
Orangeburg.?The various Democratic
cluhs of Orangeburg county are
meeting this week to nominate township
commissioners. The present
form of county government provides
for no supervisor, but for 21 township
commissioners. In tho past eight years
the form of government has heen
changed from one supervisor and 21
township commissioners to a form of
government of three supervisors, and
changed from that to one supervisor
and seven commissioners, and from
that form to seven commissioners and
Mathodists Are Prensrinq.
Chester.?A meeting of the Methodist
Churches of the Rock Hill District
was largely attended. Pastoral charges
were represented ns follows: Bethel,
Baldwin, Chester Circuit. Blsckstock,

Funk a cbiro-practor. wns given a

of medicine, surgery or branches
thereof without a medical board license.

Smith Advises Acreage Reduction.
Honea Path.?Senator E. D. Smith
addressed anaudience of about 400
men at the school auditorium here on
the cotton situation. He gave a world
survey of conditions today and then
spoke on the cotton situation. Senator
Smith is a recognised authority on
cotton and the many farmers present
learned much that they did not know
about their muin money crop. The
importance of acreage reduction was
fully emphasised by the senator and
many of the intricate problems of
marketing explained. The audience
gave the speaker the closest attentiort
and liberal applause. Senator Smith
is popular here and al! were glad to
hear him. *
The farmers of this community generally
are holding their cotton and
there is considerable sentiment In
favor of reduction. The continued
rains are going to help reduce the
acreage, for up to the present there
has been little plowing done in preparation
for the year's crop. The fine
clear weather for the past few days
has all been utilized by the farmer*
nnd gardeners, however.
