HUNDREDS OF VALUABLE HOGS
LOST IN EPIDEMIC THAT IS
SPREADING OVER STATE.
NATALITY AMONG BROOD SOWS
Efforts to Stamp Out Dlasaao Would

Cattle Tick Campaign.
Columbia.
Cholera is exacting heavy toll
among hogs in neany every county
In the state, says L. L. Baker, supervisor
of the boys' club -work of the
state. He finds the disease particularly
prevalent in counties tn the lower
half of the state and a taint of it in
every section.
During the last few years, through
the agency of boys' corn and pig
rlub enthusiasm and enterprise, thousands
of pure bred hogs have been
brought into South Carolina, and Mr.
Baker says that hundreds of these
valuable animals have been lost in
the epidemic which is spreading over
South Carolina. He knows of brood
sows worth from $100 to $160 which
have succumbed to the disease, besides
the scores of pigs and shoats
valued from $6 up to $75 and $100. .
Just as the cattle tick has been
eradicated by the co-cperatlon of state
and federal forces and appropriations
there will have to be similar union of
efforts to stamp out hog cholera, he
says. The latter move would be just
as profitable, Mr. Baker thinks, in
view of the heavy losses now being
sustained.
Message from the President.
The following telegram haa been
received by Governor Cooper:
'* ""^""Governor Robert A. Cooper, Columbia.
S. C.:
"The president directs me to transmit
the following mess Age: 1 am
i deeply Impressed by the message in
which you Joined the governors of 29
other states in urging the recognition
of the Armenian delegation in such a
way as to admit Armenian representatives
to direct participation in the
peace conference. I need not tell you
that my whole heart responds to the
request, but I am sure that you would
be convinced of the difficulty of the
matter if you could know how many
other similar cases are before the
conference and how difficult and dangerous
It Is to make discrimination.
At the same time I can assure you
that there is the deepest and sincerost
interest in the welfare of Armenia,
and that her snierests will be
looked after in evey way that is pos
slble in the difficult circumstance*.'

THEREWAS NQTHIN6 IMPROPER
Root Testifies That the Senate Waa
Within Its Rights In Making Inquiry,
Wilson Was Also In His.
Washington.?How the peace treaty
reached private hands in New York
and thus stirred up a sensation in the
senate was established at a two-hour
hearing before the foreign relations
committee.
Senator Lodge revealed that the
copy he saw was shown him by Elthu
Root, a former secretary of state. Mr.
Root told tha committee he got it
from Henry P. Davison, a member of
the Morgan banking house and head
of the Red Cross, and Mr. Davison In
turn testified It was given him In
Paris by Thomas W. Lamont, another
Morgan partner attached to the American
peace mission.
J. P. Morgan and Frank A. Vanderlip,
retiring president of the National
City bank, also before the committee.
said they never had seen a copy.
With that the committee adjourned
without setting a date to continue the
hearing and with members on both
sides of the treaty controversy naylng
privately that the investigation apparently
was over.
Mr. Davison said he secured the
copy to clear up the status of the Red
Cross under -the league of nations,
and never had used it in a financial
way. He had shown It to no one except
Mr. Root, he continued, and had
sent It to him because he knew the
former secretary was being consulted
by the American mission.
Mr. Root gave It as his opinion that
there was nothing improper in the
way the treaty reached him and that
he was free to use it as he chose.
There could be nothing secret about
it, he told the committee, because the
German government had made it public.
Under questioning. Mr. Root, who
appeared in the inquiry voluntarily,
went on to say that while the senate
was in its right in asking for a copv
after the treaty became public In Germany.
President Wilson also was within
his in withholding it If he cho6e.
IRISH AMERICANS HAVE

F. Dunne, representatives of the Irish
Americans, after they had had a 30minute

was In rply to a question from
Messrs. Walsh and Dunne as to what
the President Intended doing In view
of the resolution adopted by the senate
urging that the American delegation
take steps to have representatives
of Ireland heard by the conference.

Paris.?The council of four devoted
both of Its sessions to revision of the
peace treaty, preparatory to its presentation
to the German peace delegates.
The rewriting of the treaty of peace,
as announced in Paris dispatches, was
rendered necessary by the discovery
of errors and inconsistencies in the
draft as at first presented to the Qermans.
Many of the changes to be
made are of a highly Important nature.
But most of them are of a minor
character.
The latter is particularly true of the
reparations clauses, which will be virtually
unchanged in the new draft
But the financial provisions will be
given discretion to allow Germany to
gather a working capital for the resumption
of her industries in order |
that she may meet the requirements
of the allies.

SECRETARY OF LABOR WIL80N I
COUNCILS AGAINST A STRIKE ,
Atlantic City, N. J.?Secretary of
Labor Wilson, speaking before the
convention of the American Federation
of Labor, urged organized labor '
to refuse to support the nationwide
strike which has been proposed as a ,
protest against the conviction of Thos.
Mooney. Mr. Wilson told t'ue delegates
thait the government was investigating
the claim that new evidence
Justified a new trial and that he himself
was devoting much time to the
case.
"But," he continued, "for organized
labor to participate in such a strike
as is proposed would simply mean
that labor was trying Mooney, without
the benefit of evidence. Very few of
us are familiar with all the evidence,
yet every working man Is asked to
make himself a Juror. Justice cannot
be obtained in that way."
BRITISH EMPIRF IS SHAPING
COURSE FOR 80LITARY TRAVEL
London.?From conversation with
public men and a close study of what
is between the lines of the latest editorial
opinion in leading London
Journals. 1 opine that the British empire,
as far as America goes, is slowly
but steadily shaping its course to
travel alone In world affairs "as before."
There id no doubt that such a course
is being regretfully considered. Inasmuch
as the British overtures for a
great alliance of the Anglo-Saxon peoples
are being directly rebuffed in
the American senate no other course
would appear open. Great Britain
went an exceedingly long way out of
her habitual path when she extended
her open and friendly hand for future
partnership to America in the sincere
belief that her proffer of an Englishspeaking
alliance was reciprocal. It
Is still outstretched.
200 MEXICAN TROOPS ARE
VICTIM OF RAIROAD WRECK
Laredo, Tex.?Two hundred government
troops were killed or injured
when the train on which they were
traveling to Chlhuahau wag wrecked
by sinking of the track north of Agnaa
Calientes, according to a Mexico City
dispatch to The El Pervenor at Monterey
and forwarded here. The troops
were under General Benteria Luvlano.
PREMIUM TO BE ADDED
TO BA8IC WHEAT PRICE
New York.?To preserve a natural
flow of wheat from the farm, periodical
premiums covering storage
charges will be added to the basic
price at various guarantee markets,
according to an Announcement here
by Julius H. Barnes, United States
wheat director .
The premiums will not be Introduced
during July, when basic prices
prevailing for the last year will remain
in effect.
LINES ON KNOX RESOLUTION
BEING MORE CL08ELY DRAWN
Washingtonr?Senate leaders drew
their ities more sharply for the next
phase lif the treaty light, around the
resolution of Senator Knox, of Pennsylvanj,
proposing to put the senate
on accord against accepting the
leagt^i of nations as now interwoven
with 4he terms of peace.
Afte? a series of conferences end
much informal counting of votes there

of Germany have forsaken the peace
of Justice to which they had pledged

The reply protests against the proposed
terms individually and collectively,
and demands a return to the
original agreements. It presses for
verbal negotiations and states that
Germany expects Justice on a basis of
equality and reciprocity.
(The reply follows the lines of the
summary of the German counter proposals
given out in Berlin at about the
time they were presented.)
The document oovers 119 pages and
includes a covering letter by Count
von Brockdorff-Rantxau under date of
May 29, which has already been published,
and a second section of comments
following the main outline of
the original draft treaty. Two separate
papers on legal and financial
questions are included as part of th?
general reply.
