Pershing Issues Strict
Rules Governing People
Os Occupied Districts
Rules for the guidance of inhabi
tants of regions occupied by Ameri
can forces were issued at Coblir.z.
Germany, last week by General
Pershing.
Except for minor and specific regu
can forces were issued at Coblenz,
lattens. the Americans have not iu
toffered in local affairs. Cafeo have
1 een open and theaters t.lled night
after night. Newspapers'. until re
cently, have published with restraint
such articles as they desired, while
crowds promenaded the streets until
. midnight and even later. The Ger-
• mans'had come to believe that su« n
•-nndfttens would.continue. and while
there were no serious incidents as -t
>esult of the tolerant rule of the
Americans. it was deemed best to
check any tendency toward abus?.
The regulations published were
signed by General James W. Mc-
Andrew. chief of staff, “by com
mand of General Pershing.” In
drafting them an citort was made .o
avoid the inclusion of any rules
which would merely humiliate the
Populations or which savored of re-
I taliation or revenge. They are tn-
• tended simply to maintain good or

To Keep Order in Berlin
Allied occupation of northern

radicals into the cabinet is generally
considered as forecasting Spartactts

that overthrow of the Ebert-Sche'dc

bility.
“Let American and English troops
come to Belin," declared one of the
sailor guard-. “We await them ami
will welcome them, but we don’t
want any Frenchmen. There is no
peace any more. It is impossible to

That Johnson, personally, has

is radical is an established fact.
It is an open secret in political
circles t-'at lhe election of Presi

their party. Such arc the ingrati- i
tudes of politics.
The question, as it stands today, in
' Washington, is this:
Which is the biggerr: Wilson, or '
I the Democratic party.
Another question is:
I Which is paramount: The welfare
j«of the party men who want to keep ;
; in power or the survival of these ■
i ideals which Wilson has expressed. 1
Conceivably thej' might coexist. But, !
if one or the other must yield, the :
i American public will see which way
: to throw its strength.
Wilson has had to light polities in
his own party before now. Some <>t i
I the most reactionary members of
1 congress are members from the old ;
I : outh. It is not unlikely, before 1920
1 comes around, that Wilson will have '
I one more internal set-to with his
party’s leaders and that he will try i
I to clean them out before he goes into .
private life.

McAdoo has, in Washington's opin-
' ion. neglected no opportunity to get

i President Wilson threw the question ;

: roads into lhe open arena. Was this:
i to give Son-In-Law 'William a chance
: to rescue it and save it for the
' American people in the campaign of
| 1920. Very likely it was. If Me-i

I eminent control of railroads. But i

he's dead set for it. Ke took a Wil- ;

There was a time, before we went

the two nals of the cabinet. Those |
v. re days of talk and theory, how
ever. When days of action came,
however, with our entry into the
war. Newton Baker seemed to loom
to the fore in Wilson’s attention. He
was a. “doer" and that was what
Wilson needed. But for brains and
comprehension Houston is said to be
almost the double of Woodrow Wil
son.

I loam and be given the best of prepar-

j less than seven inches de<p. and gen
' erally it is better to plow still deep
er. Fall plowing is also better than
spring plowing, in that it gives the
scil a chance to settle, making a
firmer seed bed for planting. It also
has much need of good drainage. The
seed arc planted in this climate as
early in the spring as the land may
be prepared. Early April is a good
time, and on to the first us June
will not be too late.

MARTS OHIO HIT
BISOIWEICE
Georgia cottonseed oil producers !
declare that they arc up against a i
"hard" market condition because the I
mill o . tiers refuge to boy on ac
count of the unsettled conditions.
"We don't know where we stand,”
is the retort of the millets.
Immediately following 2he signing ;
of the armistice the federal govern- i
nient cancelled its contracts for "liu- !
I ters,” theretofore used in the maun- !
racturc of explosives. Because 'of J
! this action the cotton oil mills are '
on the verge of a very serious loss :
with the seed already on hand, and:
! ■.• re holding off the market to prevent I
an actual financial catastrophe. fix •
the meantime they have sought some ‘
form of adjustment w ith the war ,
board which will prevent many mills I
I becoming embarrassed.
It was believed that adjustment
I would be reached last week, but in- i
formation is that its settlement has .
i In eii postponed until some time in !
I January.
A further troubled condition is I
said to confront the oil mills in the ;
fact that the govtrnme.it will, prob
■ ably, throw onto the market a large ;
, number of cot mattresses made up
I for the army, and this will eliminate
ihe one avenue through which the j
"linters” could move, that ot mat- i
tress factories. Prior to the war, j
for a period of ten years or longer. I
more than half the production of
linters of this country went to Ger
manv for the manufacture by that
' country of explosives, and later went
I to the* allies for the same purpose.
| All this has now been cut off.
