Paris, June 22.?A \. -otocol to be added to the peace treaty, expianatory v of the sir points raised by the Ger mans, reads: "Firstly, ' a commission will be named by the allied and associated governments to supervise the demoli tion of the fortifications of Helgoland via - conformity with the treaty. This commission will be empowered to de cide what part of the constructions protecting the fortifications from ero sion should bep-preserved, and what f-V.f>art demolished. "Secondly, the sums which Ger many ^will have to refund to its citi zens to indemnify them for interests they may be' found to have in the rail roads and mines, referred to in para graph 2, article 156, shall be placed to the credit of Germany on account :of the sum. due for reparation." (The protocol refers to German private interests in railroads and mires in Shantung as distinct from German state interests). "Thirdly, a list of the persons whom, according to article 228, para ?'. ijraph 2, Germany must surrender to the powers, will be. sent to the Ger man government during the month . following the putting into force of the. treaty. "''Fourthly, the commission on re parations, provided for by article 240 and paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, of annex 4, can not exact divulgence of secrets of manufacture or confidential infor mation. ''Fifthly, from the signature of peace and in the four months follow- j iag, Germany will have an oppor tunity of presenting for the examina tion of the powers documents and propositions, with a view to hastening! the work relating to reparations, thus shortening vthe investigation and has tening decisions. ''Sixthly, prosecutions will be exer cised against these committing crim inal acts in connection with the liqui dation of German property, and the powers will receive any information and proofs that the German govern ment shall be in position to supply on this subject." In the allied reply to the Germans cn the six other points raised by them th& most interesting ? questions dealt with concern Germany's admission to the league of-nations. The reply de nies the German declaration that the terms of the treaty with regard to the league are contradictory, saying the paragraphs men tioned by the Germans are complementary. * It says the covenant of the league of nations declares that members of the league shall take necessary steps to assure and guarantee the mainten ance of liberty of communication and transit and also equitable commercial treatment of all members. "Germany when admitted to the so ciety," the reply says, "will share in the benefits of these stipulations with other countries. Nevertheless, during the period of transition following peace it is necessary to take into ac count the special conditions which are Iaiu down on page 42 of the mem orandum. The obligations imposed on Germany are therein shown to have the character of reparations measures, and their maintenance for five years, far from being incompatible with the j principle of equitable treatment, have as their object to assure the applica tion of that principle." Mueller Heads German Delegation Paris, June 24.?Hermann Mueller, new German foreign secretary will head the German delegation to sign the peace treaty, La Liberte says. The Germans probably will arrive at Versailles Wednesday morning. GERMANY AT WORK. Preparations for Great Effort to Come Back.

ICottonand Bonds On Same Basis ,,, Bankers Pass Resolutions Fav j oring Increasing Capital of j Financial Institutions j A resolution of great interest to coi ! ton growers adopted at the recent i meeting of the South Carolina Bank er-.* Association at Tybee was one urging a change in existing laws so I that cotton stored in standard ware-j houses, fully insured, should be handl j ed as Liberty bonds without charging I j credit against the line to be extended [ to the producer. j The resolution as adopted, reads: j "Realizing that cotton stored in stand i ard warehouses, properly insured, is j one of the best bankable liquid as-' ] sets: realizing that under existing laws ! cotton is often forced upon the mar ket due to the fact that the producer's line of credit has been exhausted: "Therefore be it resolved, That cot ton stored in standard warehouses, fully insured, should be handled as Liberty bonds without charging cred it against the line to be extended the ? producer; and be it further recom-j mended that this association go on j I record as strongly indorsing the nee-1 essary changes in existing laws to bring this about, and we earnestly urge that our congressmen and Unit ed States senators use every means possible to effect these changes in existing laws. "Furthermore be it resolved, That copy of this resolution be furnished to the press and to our representa- j tives in congress." A resolution was also passed urg /ing the banks of the State, wherever j practicable, to increase their capital stock 50 per cent. This resolution was in line with a resolution passed at a meeting of the South Carolina Cot ton Association in Columbia in May and which'has since been passed by bard- ers' association of a number of Southern States. The resolution passed by the South Carolina Bankers' Association follows in full: ""Whereas. on account of the existing conditions brought or by world war, not only the matter of inflation but in many oth er phases of commercial life, make it of great importance that ine banks increase their capital, thus enabling them to render better service to their patrons and their stockholders "Therefore be it resolved, That the banks are hereby requested to give careful consideration to the fact that in the South.today there are around $3,000,000,000 in Liberty bonds; that [ an ideal opportunity is offered to the i banks for the purpose of increasing j their capital and surplus 50 per cent I or i:o such an amount as they would [deem practicable, accepting Liberty [bonds on payment thereof; the fact I being that leading bankers who have j I given this the closest attention in dorse same in strongest terms, and upon investigation, it being found that the increase ir. capital and sur plus accepting payment in Liberty bonds, can be made without violation of any existing law. The South has especially suffered for the lack of suf ficient banking capital. This in addi tion to conditions named above, ren ders it of vital importance that the banks accept this goldei opportunity to increase their banking capital and surplus. "Be it further resolved, That a copy of this resolution be furnished the press." To Speak Against League Johnson and Reed in Nation wide Campaign Washington, June 23.?Senators Johnson.

Of Versailles is the fruit of about five months, of conference in which dele gations from thirty-two allied coun tries, and Germany participated. The five ieading nations, the United States, Great Britain. Franco, Italy and Ja pan were represented in tire [>e;u-e conferences at Paris by five delegates each, while delegations o,f other na tions and British dominions were composed of from one to three men. The representatives of the United States were President Wilson; Secre tary of State Robert Lansing; Henry White, formerly American Ambassa dor at Rome and Paris; Colonel Ed ward M. House and General Tasker H. Bliss. Georges Clemenceau. Premier of France, was chairman of the Peace Conference. At first a Supreme Council or a Council of Ten was organized so a's to! include two representatives each from Great Britain, France, the United States. Italy and Japan. Subsequently this council was divided in two parts ?a Council of Four, composed of President Wilson and Premiers Lloyd { George, Clemenceau and Orlando; and, a Council of Foreign Ministers. The Conference or* the Allied Dele gations convened officially on January IS to draw up the terms to be sub mitted when completed to the Ger man delegation. President Wilson had arrived in France on December 13 and had visited England, Italy and parts of France. .One of the first acts of the Con-1 ference was to send a proposal to all j Russian factions to meet on the Prince's Islands to endeavor to com- j pose the Russian internal situation but this plan was rejected by the Russians. Various factions which were disputing over territory in dif ferent sections of Europe were di rected by the Peace Conference to dis continue their conflicts. The first step toward the actual drafting of the treaty occurred on January 24 when the conference agreed to the pian for organisation of a League of Nations and a committee was appointed to draw up a covenant. By January 30 the conference had adopted the plan of governing colo nies and backward nations through mandatories issued to various nations, subject to the direction and approval of the League of Nations. The covenant of the League of Na tions was completed on February 14. On the following day President Wilson left France for the U^-'ied States. He returned to Fracne arriving there March 13. In his absence the Coun cil of Ten had continued its work de spite an attempt to asassinate Pre mier Clemenceau. A report of the International Labor Legislation Committee was adopted April 11. Reparation demands to be made on Germany were approved April 14 and the Germans were in vited on April IS to send their dele gation to Versailles to receive the treaty. The Peace Conference next considered the treaty with Austria. The Italian Delegation insisted upon obtaining control of the formerly Aus trian city of Flume but on t April 23 President Wilson gave out a statement that Fiume could not-be given to Italy. On the next day Premier Or lando returned to Rome and for more than a week thereafter the Italian delegations were absent but returned on May 7 in time to participate in the conference with the German dele gates. A revised covenant of the League of Nations intended to conform in re spect to the Monroe Doctrine to ob jection raised in America was adopt ed by the Peace Conference on April 28. Genera was selected as the seat of the Leagu Shantung was disposed of on April 30 when the Council of Three voted to turn it over to the Japanese on assurances that it would be given la ter to the Chinese. The Germans, headed by Count Brockdorff-Rantzau, arrived in Ver- i sailles and presented their credentials to the allied delegates on May 1. The peace treaty was presented to the Germans at Vercailles on May 7. the anniversary of the sinking of the j Lusitania, and an official summary of the treaty was made public that day. It was also announced that the United States and Great Britain had pledged aid to France against possible future German aggression. The manner in which the Germans received the treaty was described as insolent. Nu merous German leaders declared they would not sign it and a week of mourning was decreed'by the Ger man government bur the decree was virtually unheeded. Thereafter the German delegates submitted various notes to the Coun cil of Four asking for concessions or criticising the terms proposed in the treaty as submitted to them. On May 16 it was announced that the Ger man treaty would become effective when ratified by Germany and three of the allied or associated powers. The German reply to the first form of the peace treaty was presented to the allied delegates on. May 28 and this was followed by several German counter-proposals. Meanwhile the Austrian delegates had arrived at St. Germain and on June 2 the terms of the peace treaty; with Austria as drawn by the allies was submitted to them.

June 22.?In reply to telegrams and letters received from not only every section of the cotton belt, but from various sections of the cotton belt, J. Scoito" vVannamaker, president of the Amerciah Cotion As sociation issued the following state ment this afternoon: "'The innation of the currency of the world which is the largest infla tion ever recorded in the history of the wTorld; the demand for raw cotton to clothe the naked European world which has had practically no cotton goods for four years; the fact that the governments of the world ar?- concen trating every effort for the purpose >f stimulating business enterprises in every conceivable way so as to fur nish the people with employment, and also to furnish the government with revenues for the payment of taxes far in excess of any taxes ever paid in the previous history of the world; the extremely poor condition of the growing cotton crop throughout the entire cotton belt; the acute and serious labor conditions?all of these combine to make much higher prices for cotton an inevitable certainty. "England today is paying over 40 cents per pound, basis middling for cotton. The spinners have issued a statement showing that the earnings of the English mills for the first five months of 1919 exceed by 20 per cent the fabulous earnings of any previous period during the war. A number of European countries are engaged in making financial arrangements for the purpose of enabling their people to buy the raw material. Individuals, firms and corporation throughout Eu- j rope are desperately engaged in ar ranging financial matters to enable them to purchase products, especially cotton. The demand for cotton for the European countries, in addition to the demand for cotton from every manu facturer in operation in the world for j the purpose of enabling him to fill the j unheard of demand on him for manu factured products, will carry the price of cotion before this time next year to the highest price it has touched, probably, since its introduction into America, certainly since the War Be tween the Sates. Before next sum mer it will be necessary for the mills to run on short time. "The present generation will have passed away before deflation of the currency of the world even starts to modities. We have today in the main show any result on the prices of com countries of the world two hundred and twenty billions of dollars in bonds. When the war started, these countries had only forty billions of dollars in outstanding bonds. The de posits in the banks of the main coun tries of the world have increased from twenty-five billions of dollars to sev enty-five billions, making a net ?r crease of fifty billion dollars. The currency of the world has increased from eight billions to little over forty eight billions of dollars. The taxes collected by the main countries of the world show that even an enormous in crease over the taxes paid last year will be necessary, hence the only solu tion in the power of government of man is to furnish means for the people to become intensely busy, to fos ter and push business; in every con ceivable way. Every commodity in the world today shows a marked in crease in price as compared with the pre-war period. The increase in the price "'of cotton is among the lowest. 'New England spinners and certain bear speculators have always fought the price of cotton down, regardless of how low it went. Even when cot ton was selling at four and a half cents a pound, basis middling, I have records to prove that they still car ried on a concerted fight to depress the price still lower. The same peo- j pie are today fighting the price of cotton. Do not forget that these large} bear speculators, together with cer- i rain English spinners and New Eng land spinners, have a large amount of cotton soid for July and October de liven* at 22 and 23 cents per pound basis- middling. The mills must have *ho cotton. Do not assist them to get out of their predicament. They pur posely formed this combination with the intention of depressing the price of spot cotton to twelve and a halt' cents, basis middling. We have this cott? ii. They will be compelled to have it. Make them pay the price. "Do not forget that we have, passed through four consecutive short crops and that we are now on the eve of producing the shortest crop that we have produced in the last twenty-five years. With present labor conditions the acreage planted, the adverse! weather and the boll weevil situation,', a record-breaking small crop is now a i certainty. Wth a continuance 'of these adverse conditions a crop ealam- ? ity will face us. "To seli your cotton at present prices simply means that you will have lost the race and permitted the i bears to receive the reward. Mills to- | day in every section of the world can ! pay a price far in excess of prices I now being paid and still make hand- ! some profits. Do not sell cotton but j hold it and receive the reward which you so richly deserve and which will be yours if you only wait. This is a ! time to buy. build and boost. America j is a world power and ixi one short period we have changed our swaddling ciothcs and donned the garments of a j king. Do not sell, you will regret it.

J.. June 23.?The j American Federation of Labor, at the ; closing session here today of its an- I nual convention pledged itself to ob tain a general 44 hour week for work- j eis in all crafts throughout the United States and for employees in the gov ernment service. The demand was j ba^ed on a determination to prevent j 'unemployment, which the delegates I j declared is one of the two primary j j causes of industrial unrest. The other! I cause is the decreased ' purchasing j J power of the dollar. Manufacturers : and employees were urged to "bridge j the gap" and increase wages "without any controversy." - J Samuel (Jumpers, president of the federation, was greeted with a roar of cheers late in the day when he an nounced from the platform that three of the four great railroad brother hood?the Engineers, Conductors and j Trainmen, had applied for charters in the federation. The fourth brother hood, the Firemen, was meeting in Denver to consider a simular applica- j tion. he asserted. If the firemen fol- \ low the example of the other brother hoods, the ranks of the federation wil! be,increase by 500,000 men. Delegates were of the opinion that with the entry of the brotherhoods i the federation will back the demand I of the railway men for government ownership and control of the roads. This object has been referred to the executive council with instructions to formulate a policy. In addition to taking action on th,e I shorter work day, the convention to day piedged its support to the strik ing commercial telegraphers and ap pointed a committee to confer with j Postmaster General Burlesoh in the hope of obtaining for the telegraphers the same concessions which have been granted to electrical and telephone workers. A resolution was adopted requesting congress to investigate the I alleged suppression of free speech and j other American institutions in west i ern Pennsylvtnia while another reso lution severely criticised municipal of ficials in Toledo for employing dis charged soldiers in uniform to per form civil police duties in a strike. "When the question of the 44 hour week came up it was apparent all dele gates to the convention as well as all the officers of the federation, were in clined to the view that the shorter work day was one of the most vitally important subjects approved by the re construction convention. The report of the committee which had been studying the subject was adopted un animously, as expressing the convic tions of the convention. The report said that the Interna tional Typographical Union is negoti ating for a 44 hour week and added that it "will probably receive" the shortened week through conciliation. Taking up the labor situation the report said: "There is at the present time a large volume of unrest among the working men oh this continent. There can be no doubt that there are two reasons for this unusual condition?first, the high cost of the necessitites of life; j second unemployment. "Until wages are so adjusted that the earnings of labor will buy the same amount of the necessities of life that could be purchased by the earn ings previous to the war, this unrest ful exhibit by the working people has a foundation for its existence that can not be set aside . . . The dollar earned at the present time will . . . not buy the same amount that the .-v.. r%-'? 1 :- ^ dolla? earned previous to th^ war would buy- Chtil this gap is bridged (and. the "wages increased so that the - same amount of the same quality of goods can be bought with the dollar of today "as was possible before t*?e war the condition of the laborer will be less desirable than in the prewar period. Manufacturers and employers" of labor, should'recognize this fact and increase the wages to this point with out .any .controversy." Discussing unemployment the re ! port urged efforts to provide work for ! unemployed civilians as well as dis |charged' soldiers' and said "this can j best- be done by shortening the hours o'f.'faboi\M tinues/" but-that in the near future many organizations wiil determine that in order to take care -hf all of - '-"There is no doubt," the report con their members gaining a liviihocd by employment at their trade it. will be uecessairy to inaugurate- a six hour t day. "The executive is directed to lend its' assistance wi the- fullest degree to any organization seeking to establish a shorter work day that will provP% for the 'employment of all its mem bers. The organization itself must be the judge of what should he the" length , of the work in the industry over which it has jurisdiction. When it 'has decided and established its ', claim to shorfer hours, no matter ? what they may" be, then the American Federation of Labor should lend its fullest assistance." -Thanks for Ireland for the. conven tion's resolution calhng for recogni tion of the Irisli republic was contain ed in a ^ memorial received by Presi dent Gompers today arid presented to the convention.'
