F PRESIDENT LSO
ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE TRIP
ARE GOING FORWARD WITH
NO HITCH.. APPARENT.
AMSING HEADS DELEGATION"
-Passage Will Be Made In -Liner Now
. In Use by the Government as a
Service Transport
Washington.--There were no de
:vdopments on the surface in the
lrlparations for President Wilson's
trp .to France and for America's rep
reSentation at the peade conference.
'Arrangements are going steadily
ahead, however, and an announcement
of. the peace commission's personnel
with the program for the journey may
be. expected at any time.
Members of the senate -who attend
*ed. the White House conference told
their colleagues of the president's de
termination to stay In France indefi
nitely or until all of the greater issues
arising out of the war have been set
tled. Hew long this may be no one
Ventures to guess, Re the president
wl1l take wtih him a full executive
staff, prepared to transact aboard
ship or at the American embassy in
Paris, virtually all business of the
White House.
In additon to Secretary Lansing,
who is to head the American delega
tion to the peace conference, and Col
onel House, Elihu Root and Justice
Brandeis, generally believed to have
been selected by the president for
'membership, speculation upon a long
list. of names has centered upon only
.one for the fifth place-that of Secre
tary Houston of the department of
'agriculture. He is being suggested
persistently In official quarters.
Navy officials let it be known that
it is planned to take the president and
the delegation across the Atlantic on
a big passenger liner now in use by
the government as a transport. A
dreadnaught and a flotilla of destroy
ers probably will be convoys.
OVERTHROW BOLSHEVIKI AND
CAPTURE OF KIEV REPORTED
Washington. - Overthrow of the
bolshevik regime in- the Ukraine and
the .ejture of Kiev by cossack troops
friendly to the all-Russian government
as reported from Copenhagen, opens
the way, in the opinion of officials
here ,for important developments in
Russia. While no change in policy,
either political or military ,has been
.made by the United States, it is real
ized here that the holding of the
Ukraine by forces friendly to the as
sociated governments and decidedly
hostile to the bolsheviki opens a path
directly into the heart of Russia eith
er for the dispacth o troops or of
supplies for the relief of the demobil
ized civliari population.
CONSOLIDATION OF POSTAL
AND WESTERN UNION LINES
Washington.-Consolidation of the
services of the Western Union and
Postal Telegraph companies, under

.ties may be used to the fullest extent
and the transmission of messages ex
pedited, the telegraph systems shall
her~after be operated as one, and ef
fective December 1, 1918, all telegraph
.~ offices shall accept for transmission
all, classes of m'essages now accepted
by any one of them at the prescribed
tariff rates."
MORE THAN '100,000 PEOPLE

M'ADOG TO RETIRE
TO PRIVATE LIFE
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY
TENDERS HIS RESIGNATION
TO PRESIDENT WILSON.
OFFICE IS TOO POORLY PAID
Rumors Rife of Political Ambition
May, in Part, Explain Action of
President's Son-in-Law.
Washington.-William Gibbs Mc.
Adoo, secretary of the treasury, di
rector general of railroads, and often
discussed as one of the presidential
possibilities of 1920, has resigned his
office to return to private business.
President Wilson has accepted his
resignation.
Mr. McAdoo will give up the treas
ary portfolio as soon as a successor
has been selected. He wished to lay'
down his woik as director general of
railroads by January 1, but will re
main if the president has not then
chosen a successor.
Upon the new secretary of the
treasury, whoever he may be, will de
volve the task of financing the nation
through the transition period of war
to peace, which probably will include
t least two more Liberty loans and
possibly also a further revision of the
System of war taxation.
Letters between President Wilson
nd Mr. McAdoo, made public wtih
the announcement of the resignation,
live Mr. McAdoo's reasons for leav-"
ng the cabinet solely as a necessity
Cor replenishing his personal fortune
mnd express the president's deep re
Iret at losing his son-in-law from his'
>ificial 'family.
TOTAL OF 59 SUBMARINES
HAVE BEEN SURRENDERED
London.-Twenty more German sub
taarines were surrendered to Admiral
'yrwhitt, of Harwich. This makes a
total of 59 submarines thus far hand-'
3d over. There would have been 21
urrendered but one sank during the
might.
The correspondent of the wireless
service with the British naval forces
says that just before noon a cruiser
,ame into sight, followed by the Ger
nan submarines and a German trans
)ort. The transfer took place In the
marbor on acocunt of the heavy sea
unning. The majority of the subma
ines were large and nearly nil were
ied with wireless equipment.
When the Germans arrived it was
ioticeable that the revolutionary ele
nent was decidedly present. Some of
he officers had removed the Prus
sian eagles from their caps and re
laced them with a sort of red badge
hat recognizes the authority of the
ailors' and soldiers' council. The
nien took very little notice of any
hing their officers said to them. One
hbouted:
"No officer-no kaiser."
$500,000,000 REDUCTION IN
NEW WAR REVENUE MEASURE
Washington-Reductions aggregat
*ng $500,000,000 in the yield -from the
mew war revenue bill were made by
he senate fin~nce committee in re
vising the measure downward to the
six billion dollar total for 1919 pro
posed by Secretary McAdoo. The
lecrease was confIned principally to
.he tobacco, luxury, semi-luxury and
)ther special and excise schedules.
Among the more important decis
ions were elimination of the luxury
mchedule proposed in the house bill
evying 20 per cent onm costly articles
rf clothing and other merchandise
and estimated to raise $184,'795,000;
alimination oif the house tax of two
cents a gallon oni gasoline; estimated
to yeilld $40,000,000; reduction from 10
to five per cent, or about $200,000,000
in revenue, in rates of nmany articles
classed as semi-luxuries, and a re
duct Ion of about one-half in the house
rates on tobacco, a cut of about $54,
000 in revenue.
EX-KAISER ENTERED HOLLAND

Paris.--The Dutch legation publish
ed a note containing a dleclaration by
the president of The Netherland to
the chamber of deputies, saying that
the former German emperor entered
Dutch territory after his abdication as
a private personage. The note says the
kindi of refuge granted to him is sim
ilar to that given all foreign refugees
and that 'the government could not
make any exception on account of' his
former potion.
United War Work Campaign
PickensCounty
The United War Work Campaign closed on last Wednegday, November
20th, with Pickens county subscribing $15,182.56. Her quota was only $13,
'100.00. When the quotas for each district were printed they were made on
a basis of $16,000.00, but this was a mistake. These have been re-arranged
on the new basis and are printed so that each district may know how neairly
they reached their quota. The colored people have given most generously,
having raised a total of $1,388.07 in this county.

RED CROSS FIELD DIRECTOR AT f
CAMP JACKSON DID NOT A
VOLUNTARILY RESIGN.
WORK IS STILL UNDER WAY
t
South Carolinians at Wadsworth Are 'i
Being Rapidly Discharged and 'I
Returned to Their Homes.
Camp Jackson.
One of the most impressive services
ever witnessed at camp was that of
communion service, conducted by v
Chaplain Roswell C. Long of the
Fourth regiment. The service was I
held, in "Y" building 138, and the a
chaplain was assisted by the pastor t
of the First Presbyterian church and .
the staff of Y. M. C. A. secretaries c
of the local building.
At a recent meeting of the religious
leaders of Camp Jackson it was agreed I
that the observance of holy commun- I1
ion should be effected in each Y. M.
C. A. building at least once a month.
Charged before the general court
martial with wilfully disobyeing the
orders ot a superior officer, Private
John B. Woods of Company K, Second 9
Provisional Regiment, was sentenced i
to serve ten years in the United States
disciplinary barracks at Fort Leaven
worth, Kan., and to be dishonorably
discharged from the service, as well 1
as forfeiting all pay and allowances
now due him or to become due.
A recent article announced that F.
H. Gheen, Jr., late field director of
the Red Cross, Camp Jackson, was
compelled to return to his home at
West Chester, Pa., as result of a ner
vous breakdown.
The military authorities deem it
imperative that the erroneous impres
sion caused by the publication of this
article be corrected, lest it be used in
the future to place F. H. Oheen, Jr.,
In a position where he might be a det
riment to society.
The military authorities, after full
investigation, demanded his .immedi
ate expulsion from camp. He was l
dismissed by the Red Cross with the
assurances that his services would not t
'be used elsewhere.
Mrs. B. M. Boykin of the woman's I
department of the Y. M. C. A. from
Atlanta, was at Camp Jackson in the \
interest of placing some women Y. M.
C. A. secretaries in Camp Jackson.
The matter will be taken up with the
military and with the local heads of p
the Y. M. C. A. p
Dr. Raisin of the Jewish Welfare has a
been delivering a number of inter. '
