Drought has damaged the wheat crop of Soviet Russia, and as a result of the crop prospects the price of bread will be raised June 1.

William Albert Robinson, author and explorer, stricken with appendicitis last week while on a cruise with his bride in the South Seas, and to whose relief airplanes were sent with surgeons 1,000 miles from Balboa, C. Z., has been operated on at Balboa and is in a hospital there recuperating. America has notified the world's great arms producing nations that future responsibility for ending the war in the Gran Chaco between Bolivia and Paraguay rests upon them, as America has placed a virtual embargo against shipments of arms and munitions from this country to the warring nations. H. B. Edwards, of Valdosta, ua., says that if he is elected to the Georgia house of representatives, he will introduce a bill by the terms of which a down trodden male may have an opportunity to obtain support from a spouse in case she is in better circumstances than the husband.. Capital Observations (Special Correspondence) Washington, June 5.?-The Senate yesterday passed the hill authorizing the President to negotiate reciprocal trade agreements' with foreign nations, the measure empowering him to change taritf rates by t\fty per cent in making such arrangements. Favorable action hail previously been taken by the House of Representatives, so there remains only the adjustment of minor differences between the two Houses. With the disposition of this matter it had been thought that early adjournment would follow, perhaps at the close of this week, but the President has indicated that he desires and expects action upon several other more or less urgent pieces of contemplated legislation, among which^are the Wagner labor bill, the housing bill, tho silver 'bill, the relief bill, and possibly measures to provide oil production control and to strengthen sections of the agricultural act. It is therefore likely that Congress will remain ip session at least two weeks longer. + + ? * In a report to 'Congress on war debts President Roosevelt held out a promise for discussion of revision of present funding agreements to any debtor nation which might ask and present special circumstances. There was little or nothing else that could be said. No hope was held out for cancellation or reduction, as Congress and the country in general would be overwhelmingly opposed to such procedure. Under a law recently enacted any nation which fails to pay any installment due or any part thereof is held to be in default, and is debarred from negotiating any financial transaction in tho United States. In the past several nations have made small payments on the total, as "tokens," but that would not now relieve them of being considered as defaulters. The country owing the greatest amount is Great Britain, herself largely a creditor nation, indisposed to pose as defaulter and thereby setting a bad example to her creditors, but notice has been served that the British government is "reluctantly compelled" to suspend all further payments until it becomes possible to discuss a settlement with a reasonable prospect of agreement. * * * * Last week during the review of the fleet in Now York harbor, which was a magnificent spectacle; Josephus Daniels by special invitation stood alongside the commander in chief. During the Wilson administration and throughout the World war Daniels I was secretary of tho navy and Frank- ' lin D, Itousevelt was a^istant mh!w tnry. The latter still refers to Daniels us "chief" and it was u very pretty compliment to. extend the invitation to him. Ho is now United States ambassador to Mexico. .' + * * Two years ago office holders, particularly Congressmen, were defeated j-XIght and left for renomination or re-} election. The people throughout the country see modi determined then to' havo a "new deal" in distributing the! j offices. This year the reverse* is true, j as in the nominations already made exceedingly fow members of Congress have been turned down. In the first 100 nominations made, among both parties, only four sitting members [ failed. The l>emocrats take this as a good sign so far as their party is concerned, as indicating endorsement of the administration, Congress having been pretty solid behind the President. , * * * + I A new treaty with Cuba has been negotiated and ratified with remark- ' I able rapidity, whereby this country relinquishes its right to interfere with | the political relations of the island republic. After the Spanish-Ameri- j can war, when Cuba was freed, it i was deemed \Vise to impose certain restrictions, Cuba agreeing to enter , into no treaties impairing her neu trality, to assume no public debt be- j yond her capacity to pay and to main- j tain sanitary conditions throughout the island. In casp of any violation of the agreement the United States I . . r. . . I was given specific authority to intervene. The new pact does away with ! all restrictions, but our government still reserves its rights in a naval base at one point, at Guantanamo. ' The supervision heretofore exercised has been a Pause for irritation in Cuba and throughout I^atin America. This will now happily be ended. * * Owing to the peculiar status in South Carolina, where a divorce is granted for no cause whatsoever, a case disposed of here last .week may bo of interest. In the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, which had jurisdiction, a court corresponding to the circuit court: in South Carolina,, a divorce was granted by Justice; Jesse C. Adkins to one William Russell Lamar from his wife who had remarried after securing a divorce at Reno, Nevada, where divorces may be obtained upon grounds not recognized in Washington. Justice Adkins held that the Re-no divorce was null and void, that the second marriage of the wife was unlawful, and afforded stat utory grounds for tho divorco granted to Mr. I^amar. It doos not appear that any criminal prosecution hast been undertaken. ? The Wagner labor bill, now before Congress, is being bitterly attacked by corporations which employ large numbers of men. It is claimed that it would give undue advantage to labor unions, with a membership of not more than ten per cent of the laborers of the country, dominated by professional labor agitators. Its provisions, it is hold, contain nothing that would prevent labor organizations front exercising any manner of coercion or intimidation, while employers are hold under strict limitations. + * + * Holding in line a huge majority in a legislative body is no easy task, and the Democratic leaders iit Congress will feel a groat sense of relief | when this session is over. Perhaps in the national House of Representatives anyhow next year the burden I will not be quite as hard so far as | concerns the matter of numbers. ) ! John Crawford, the only defendant who escaped conviction at tho last sessions court at Gaffney, and that only by a mistrial on an indictment for homo brewing, was arrested again the other day, when officers found much homo brew,, buried in his cucumber patch in barrels sunk in the ground, with a few inches of dirt over their tops. Floyd Teague, a High Point, N. C., shipping clerk, recently completed a transcontinental automobile trip in 5(5 hours, 52 minutes, thus breaking tho record of "Gannon Ball" Baker in 1930 by 3 hours and 58 minutes for tho 3,085 mile run. Innocent Prisoner j Serves l(i Years I Rome, Gaf, May 20.?Tho conscience that prodded Thomas F. G-arden for 10 years has caused him at last, to confess killing a soldier at Fort Oglethorpe, Oa.?for which crime Itert Long" is serving a lifo sentence. ? Federal Judge E. Martin Underwood announced Garden had admitted killing Charles L. Karle February 24, 1018. After telling his story to tho judge, Garden said "my conscience* has hurt me. I cannot bear to think longer of Ix>ng serving time for a crime that he did not commit." Long was convicted ot tho crime and is now in tho Atlanta Federal penitentiary. The confession as related by Judge Underwood stated that Garden testified falsely to "get even" with Long for testifying I against him some years before. While serving as barber in the prison shop in Atlanta, Long repeatedly protested his innocence and department of justice officials finally directed It. A. Chappell, federal probation officer, to investigate tho case. Ghappell found Garden was in jail at Rome, charged with robbing the postoffice at Herryton. It was announced steps would bo taken to obtain a pardon for Long. Premier Mussolini, of Italy, has determined that his country needs more fighting ships and plans to build three hig battleships between now and 1940 at a cost of $85,000,000. Mrs. Susan Leo Parsons celebrated her 105th birthday at Bososcen, Vermont. Her only child, Frank, aged 69, and 200 guests participated in tho celebration. NOTICE ?
