Stumbling Block Article 10. Reservation Framed at Last Session President Has Declared Means Rejection of Covenant. Washington, Dec. 31.?Getting down to cases in their discussion of a peace treaty compromise, Republican and Democratic senators found today that article ten still presented * * X Vli VI V 4-V.o tne Olggesi SlUlllUims uiutn. in Hie way of an agreement. ^Jhe senate leaders of both political parties again were active during the day in the compromise negotiations and the succession of conferences was regarded generally as indicating that the s'tuation soon might take more definite form. On all sides it was said that although no agreement was yet in sight, the shift-! Ing process had cleared away many collateral points and had centered at' tention on a very few reservations, nptable the one relat'ng to article 10. It was the reservation on this point I as framed by the foreign relations committee at the last session which President Wilson characterized as meaning a rejection of the treaty. Determined to secure some modification Democratic senators have pre sented a number of suggestions but all of them so far have been regarded on the Republican side as going too far. The Republicans in turn, have suggested changes which the Democrats regard as modifications of lan-| guage oniy. Three conferences attracted , particular attention among the many wh'ch were held today regarding the treaty. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, Republican leader, went ovei compromise suggestions with Senator Pomerene of Ohio, a Democratic member of the foreign relations committee. Later Secretary Tumulty went to the capitol and, speaking for t^ie president, discussed the s'tuation with Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the acting leader of the Democrats. Tonight Mr. Hitchcock called into the Democratic members of the committee who are in town. Details of none of these meetings were revealed, but it was understood that in all of / them specific reservation changes were discussed, and in each case article lu ngures pruiumcuuj. Estimate by Pomerene. As a committeeman who worked for unreserved ratification and 'later worked for the Republican reservation programme Senator Pomerene is understood to have given Senator Lodge a comprehensive estimate 01 compromise sentiment, among the Democrats, and to have gone into details in outlining how far he thought the administration senators would be willing to go in regard to article 10. Secretary Tumulty said the purpose of his call on Senator Hitchcock was to obtain, at President Wilson's request, the latest information about \ the senate situation. He declared he did not take to the capitol any new compromise scheme, though it is assumed that the Democratic senate leader took the opportunity to inquire about Mr. Wilson's attitude toward a compromise. ' The meeting tonight of the foreign relations committee Democrats was understood to have taken steps to reduce to a definite form Democratic proposals for redrafting the Republican reservations. The subject was considered in tne lignt 01 me information obtained during the day by Senators Hitchcock and Pomerene and with a view to framing a programme behind which the administration forces could unite. Some Progress Made. It was the first attempt of the Democratic committee members to get together on such a programme. Those who were present declined to discuss details of the meeting but said some progress had been made. Bes'des article 10, the majority reservation regarding voting power in the league of nations figured prominently in the day's discussion. Some administration senators took the position that the reservation would completely disqualify such dominions as Canada and Australia from voting on any question. Among the Republicans, however, there was a feeling that if the article 10 qualification could be smoothed out, the issue ovei j voting power easily would be dispos-! ed of.

Readjustment Imminent. High Wages for Labor Complicates 1 Situation, Declares Federal Reserve Board. Washington, Dec. 11. ? General anxiety prevails throughout American business concerning the continued i advance in prices and a readjustment appears imminent, the Federal Re- : serve uoara reported tomgnt in its 1 review of December business condi- ; tions. Through the board's statement the inference was strongly given that a reduction in prices is due, : because of a recognized curtailment of buying power coupled with a lack 1 of unanimity of opinion as to what ; the future holds. Great Trade Activity. While retail trade shows great ac- j tivity and wholesalers and manufac- 1 turers were represented as being un- ( able to supply the demand, the great growth in business was shown to j have been in terms of dollars and not in units of production. Hugh wages ( for labor further complicated the sit- 1 uation, according to the board's re- ; view. Practically every federal reserve district reported that "skilled labor was working only sufficient 1 days to keep going," resulting in a { consequent falling off in production. * Unrest Shows Abatement. 1 Laboor unrest, the review saia, ( showed some abatement during the ( month but the greatly reduced pro- 1 duction of the preceding month was ] not by any means fully restored. The < termination of the coal strike and the t cessation of activity in the steel ' strike as well as the greatly increased number of men employed in these < lines in many districts accounts for a 1 lower figure representing unemploy- ' ment, the board said. Disposition of Labor. 1 "From many sections," the board 1 asserted, "it is reported that the chief 1 d'fficulty does not lie in systematic 1 strikes but in the indisposition of * workers to increase production and 1 to keep steadily at work. The reduced s output as a result of very short hours 1 or the suspension of work a given s number of days a week has proved ^ to be a national problem. The d'spo- 1 sition of labor to pursue such a pol- ( icy is ascribed by many to high wages 1 ,nd the desire to employ the increased purchasing power thus obtained in i the purchase of leisure rather than goods." < ^ i?? ? INDEPENDENCE OF WEEVIL. Farmers Revising Their Programme to Meet Weevil Conditions. Under the leadership of County Apent E. C. Bruce, Hampton county, ( farmers are hustling to revise their 1 farming programmerand their farming business to meet the boll weevil conditions now before them. The need for concerted action is realized, and the farmers are get- 1 ting together in community clubs organized partly for buying and sejling cooperatively, partly for discussion of 1 new conditions and new require- i ment. Such clubs have been organized in the Hickory Grove, Nixville, Holly Hill, Hugging Oak and other communities and others will be or- : ganized as fast as the county agent i can carry out the plans. At recent meetings of these far- 1 mers' clubs, says County Apent Bruce, i the discussions have centered chiefly around livestock, peanuts, potatoes, < sugar cane, and other crops for a well balanced diversified farming, 1 and a programme has been worked ] out calling for each farm per horse or mule: 5 acres of cotton. 10 acres of corn, peas, peanuts, and beans. 3 3 acres of oats. 3 acres of peanuts (White Span- ( ish). 3 acres of sweet potatoes (Nancy J Hall). 1 acre of sugar cane. "If the farmers are going to plant what they say," adds Mr. Bruce, "I 5 don't see hom the boll weevil can 1 affect them very much."?Hampton ^ Guardian. ? ^ ,If the new republic to be 3,000,000. ^ * m? m WRITING A BIBLE.

Fj Men Urged to Send For Memorial. Acting as distributing agency for the French government, Colonel J. E. Wyke, U. S. Army Recrutiting Officer, Savannah, Ga., is issuing to former soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces an eloquent tribute to the Americans who fought on French and German soil in the World War. It had been intended by the French government that this memorial should be presented to the American Exned.tionary Forces before they left France, but it was not ready in time to be given to all. However, determined that our men who fought overseas should know that the French government appreciated their sacrifices, their heroism and their achievements, it has requested that the memorial be presented to them individually. Soldiers and former soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces can obtain a copy of the memorial at The Army Recruiting Station, 1522 Main St., Columbia, S. C. The French government regrets that the supply of this pamphlet is so small that it cannot be d.stributed generally, for it contains abundant proof that France as a nation and the French as individuals appreciate in full measure the glorious record of American Arms in the war on Prussianism. The pamphlet is a brief history of what Americans d d on the other side, it memoes, aiso, interesting figured as to the devastation wrought by the invading enemies and of the great financial and commercial losses inflicted upon the land of Lafayette. Even though it involves a little trouble, every reader who is entitled to re e!ve one of these pamphlets is urged to obtain one, for as time goes on, souvenirs of the World War become scarcer. This souvenir will go down to posterity as a mark of your [ service to the nation during the World War. Raed The Herald, $2.00 year, j Y-THREE LEANED OUT | IN FIGHT TO KID NATION OF AGITATORS. May Double Number. V Government's Big Battle Directed Chiefly Against Communist Party. Washington, Jan. 2.?The greatest round-up of radicals in the nation's h story was conducted tonight by the government, acting through Department of Justice agents in thirty-three cities, stretching from coast to coast. Hundreds Captured. At midnight reports indicated that more than 1,500 members of the communist and communist labor parties, against whom the raids were directed, were in custody, and Department of Just'ce officials expressed the opinion that daylight would see twice that number beh'nd the bars. - .>* 'Jg Thoroughly Carried Out. Not alone was the round-up the largest yet conducted by the government in its effort to rid the country ^ of radicalism, but in the view of officials it was the most thoroughly carried out. Department of Justice agents had been instructed several days ago and at 9 o'clock tonight the move was begun on the radical headquarters, whether in Poland, Maine, or in Portland, Oregon. "With the Goods On.'* Department of Justice operatives were directed to catch the radicals "with the goods on" and that these directions were carried out was evidenced in reports, particularly from New York, where the offices of comi munist newspapers were raided, and from New England, where considerable literature, prepared for dissemination by the two parties was seized. For Deportation. The primary object of the raids, ' Assistant Attorney General Garvan ; announced, was the obtaining, of evi- 7 jdence upon which the Department of ! Labor might proceed with deportaj tion of undesirables. Larger Cities. [ "t&ac The larger cities in which raids were conducted follow: New York, Baltimore, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Denver, Des iM : Mo.'nes, Detroit, Grand Rapids, Hartford, Indianapolis, Jacksonville (Florida), Kansas City, Los Angeles, Louisville, Milwaukee, Newark, Omahs^ Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Portlana, (Maine), Portland, (Oregon), Providence, San Francisco, Scranton, Spo kane, St. Louis, St. Paul, Springfield, (Mass.), Syracuse, Toledo and Trenton. Minor raids were made in other cities. Over 300 in New York. The biggest "bag" of the radicals j was made in New York, where at i midnight more than 300 had tjeen ari rested and sent to ElPs island. From | a dozen New England cities 300 or I more of the communists were gathi ered and in Detroit the raiders found ; a plentiful supply, taking about 300 into custody. Philadelphia and Chicaga supplied more than 10 and Buffalo about 100. A larger number than in any previous raid was reported from practically all the cities. Incriminating Documents. | Department of Justice agents deI sired most of all to capture incrim' inating documents, not so much of | the literature and propaganda, but papers showing details of the communist organizations in each city.. It was indicated that if such ev dence were obtained deportation of the persons concerned would be an easy mat. ! ter. As in the case of the members ] of the Union of Russian Workers, j several score of whom were aboard I the transport Buford, which sailed | from New York ten days ago, mem| bership cards in the organization | were regarded by officials as the best i documentary evidence on which to i base deportation cases.
