WILL LOWER HIGH COST OF LIVING BOARD IS NAMED TO REDUCE THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY COMMODITIES GOVERNMENT TO CUT PRICES Basic Commodities Will Be Considered First And Brought To Stable Basis Washington.—Completion of the per sonnel of the industrial board of the department of commerce, together with the plans of the board for hasten ing the return of prices and wages to a normal level, was announced through the council of national defense. Associated with George N. Peek, of Moline, 111., a former member of the war industries board, as chairman of the new organization, are Samuel P. Bush, of Columbus, Ohio; Anthony Caminetti, commissioner of immigra tion; Thomas K. Glenn, of Atlanta; George R. James, of Memphis; T. C. Powell, of Cincinnati, and William M. Ritter, of West Virginia. The chief purpose of the new board, it is announced, is to bring about the operation of the laws of supply and demand, interfered with by the pro cesses of war. To this end conferences will be held with representatives of the chief industries “to decide on the prices to be offered to the nation as the governmentally approved judg ment on a price scale low enough to encourage buying and the resumption to normal activities.” “As soon as a stable and wholesome scale of prices is achieved,” says the announcement, “the cost of living will have so far been reduced as to create automatically reductions in the price of labor without interfering with American standards and ideals for the treatment and living conditions of la bor, and thus the last inflating ele ment will have been withdrawn from prices. It is believed that industry will agree that the cost of living must be substantially reduced before labor should be asked to accept lower wages and thus industry should stand the first shock of readjustment.” ALLIES RESOLVED TO MAKE GERMANY YIELD HER SHIPS Negotiations About Merchant Ships To Be Resumed By Supreme Council Paris. —The plans adopted by the su preme war council under which the negotiations with the German author ities regarding the turning over of the German merchant ships will be resum ed, after their recent interruption at Spa, provide for the holding of the sessions of the negotiators at Brussels. The allied delegates will leave Paris for the Belgian capital and the first session in the resumption of the ne gotiations will probably be held in one of the government palace. The plans determined upon by the council, as already stated, provide for taking over the German merchant ships in return for a food supply for Germany until the next harvest. The chief difficulty thus far has been over the manner of payment for the food supplies, but the new proposals are ex pected to meet the former objections. It is understood that the payments will come from three sources: first, in the form of products, such as coal and potash; second, from credits which Germany has in neutral countries which thus far have been unavailable because of the financial blockade; and third, from foreign securities held by Germany. It is estimated that these three sources will readily yield about five hundred milllion dollars, which is the sum required to pay for food relief to an extent considered adequate to carry the Germans until the time of their harvest. French Seek Trace Of 314,000 Missing Paris. —On the casualty list of the French army, the word “missing” is written opposite the name of 314,000 men. Investigations which have been conducted have resulted in establish ing the fact that of this number all hope for approximately 120,000 must be abandoned. LOOK OUT FOR THE SEVENTEEN-YEAR LOCUST Washington.—Great swarms of the 17-year locust will infest the United States in late May and early in June, this year, which is expected by sci entists to be one of the worst “locust years’’ on record. The 17-year locust comes at long intervals and is no more than an ordinary non-poisonous insect pest, which can do little dam age if proper precautions are taken. It was once regarded as a harbinger of disaster. HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY. McDONOUGH GEORGIA. U. S. TO SIILMIUN KUAOS Director Hines Says Lines Will Not Be Relinquished Because Con gress Failed To Provide Washington.—The government de termined to retain control of the rail roads despite failure of congress to provide funds for the railroad admin istration, and to have the roads finance themselves for the next few months through private loans on the open mar ket, or through advances by the war finance corporation. Effort will be made to maintain oper ations on a normal scale and to carry on as much of the improvement pro gram as possible, in order to avoid throwing employees out of work or otherwise disturbing industrial condi tions. No attempt will be made to solve the problem by raising rates. These assurances were given by Di rector General Hines in a public state ment and in an address to the confer ence of governors and mayors meet ing here. At the same time it devel oped that the war finance corporation has about $337,000,000 resources avail able, and much of this may go to rail roads to supplement the sums they can borrow until congress meets again and has opportunity to appropriate funds. After protracted conferences be tween Secretary Glass and other offi cials of the treasury and war finance corporation, it was stated that means probably would be developed to keep the railroads off the money market as much as possible, and minimize inter ference with the forthcoming Victory Liberty loan. Although officials appeared optimis tic they explained that much manipu lating of financial machinery would be necessary, and a definite program could not be developed for some time. Their somewhat cheerful attitude was in contrast to the rather pessimistic utterances of Secretary Glass and Di rector General Hines before the senate appropriations committee in executive session, commenting on the possibility of the appropriation’s failure. The tes timony has been made public. TREATY OF PEACE ONE STEP NEARER American Plan To Have Commissions Present Reports and Conclusions in Peace Preliminaries Is Adopted Paris. —A step toward the formation of a treaty of peace was taken by the supreme council when it adopted the proposal of the American delegation to have the various commission pres ent to the council their reports and conclusions in the form of articles to he inserted in the peace preliminaries. The council also discussed the mil itary, naval and aerial conditions to be imposed on the enemy. The official communication on the session says; “The supreme council of the allies met from 3 to 6 o’clock. “The council accepted the American proposal that the commissions should be asked to present with their reports their conclusions in the form of arti cles to be inserted in the peace prelim inaries. “The discussion then turned to the naval, military and air conditions to be imposed on the enemy. REVOLT OF GERMANS QUELLED BY BAYONET Sanguinary Engagements Are Report ed Between Czech Soldiers and Teutons Vienna. —There have been sangu inary engagements between Czecho soldiers and citizens in numerous towns in German Bohemia, according to reports received here. The trouble started when the Ger mans attempted to hold elections for the Austrian national assembly in Vienna, which the Czech government prohibited because Bohemia is Czech territory. The Germans organized manifestations against Czech rule, and the Czechs used rifles and bayonets in suppressing the demonstrations. Three persons are reported to have been killed at Karlsbad and ten at Sternberg. A number of others are reported to have been killed or wounded in clashes at Reichenberg, Aussig, Bruex, Eger and Mies. ROBBERS GET $62,600 FROM MESSENGER BOY IN NEW YORK CITY New York. —Gustave Mignone, a youth of 20, was arrested by the Brook lyn police on a charge of robbery in connection with the theft of $62,600 in securities from Milton Strohm, a Wall street messenger boy. The police de clare Mignone confessed, implicating three other boys, for whom they are now searching. Strohm was robbed of $49,000 worth of Liberty bonds and $13,600 other securities. CANADIAN TROOPS RIOT IN ENGLAND BLOODY OUTBREAK OCCURRED BECAUSE OF DELAY IN EMBARKATION MANY KILLED AND WOUNDED One Major Trampled To Death While Defending Quarters Of The Officers London. —From eight to twenty-sev en persons are estimated to have been ♦ killed and from twenty to twenty-five to seventy-three wounded in rioting during three days at the Kimmel mili tary camp at Rhyl; Wales, according to a Liverpool dispatch received here. Great property damage was caused, the dispatch adds. According to latest reports from Liv erpool the riot was started by about two hundred malcontents. There were twenty-five thousand Canadians in the camp awaiting demobilzation and em barkation. The men who caused the trouble were war casuals who had served for three years or more In France. They complained that their embarkation had been postponed while other men who had seen less service were sent home. After the destruction of stores of all kinds by the discontented men, the situation took a more serious turn when the cavalry was called out, but was forbidden to use its arms. Troops from Chester intercepted the rioters in their march upon Aber gele, near Rhyl, and also prevented a threatened raid on the latter place. Five men were killed and forty injured in the course of this fighting, it is re ported. There was further promiscuous shooting the next day, but at no time was there organized firing -by any armed party. Most of the deaths were due to crushing, it is said. An un named major holding the Victoria Cross and believed to be from New Brunswick, is reported to have been virtually trampled to death while at tempting to defend the officers’ quar ters against great odds. The Daily Mail says the Canadian authorities restored order without the assistance of British troops and de clares that the matter is solely one for Canadian disciplinary action. The Canadian officials have inform ed the war office that they do not de sire any increase in shipping facili ties as a consequence of the outbreak, as they do not intend to be coerced by the action of the rioters. It is stated that twenty or thirty of the ringleaders, most of foreign extrac tion, have been arrested by the Can adian authorities, co-operating with the civilian police. It is understood that these men will be brought to London and lodged in the Bow street station. GERMANY REFUSES TO DELIVER UP HER SHIPS Negotiations Relating To Surrender Of German Merchant Fleet To Allies Broken Off The negotiations at Spa, relating to the shipping question have been tem porarily broken off, according to a German wireless dispatch received here. The allies, the message says, de manded that all the remaining Ger man merchant ships be handed over unconditionally, without being willing to undertake the obligation of supply ing Germany with foodstuffs. The German delegates, it is added, received instructions from their government that the question of shipping, finance and food supply must be dealt with only as a whole. The German message con tinues: “The question of handing over the mercantile fleet can only arise if ade quate food supply, say 2,500,000 tons of foodstuffs, are assured Germany un til the new harvest. The entente would not agree to this. “As the instructions of both sides did not go beyond this, a French dele gate proposed that negotiations be broken off, whereupon the two special delegations left Spa.” ALARM BREAKS PRESI DENT WILSON’S REST ON BOARD STEAMSHIP On Board U. S. S. George Washing ton. —President Wilson’s rest was cut short by the sounding of a general alarm summoning all hands to the boats to abandon ship. The signal for the boat drill came at nine o’clock and the president arose and escorted Mrs. Wilson to their boat. He adjust ed Mrs. Wilson’s and his own life belt and stood quietly by until the drill was completed. A CHILD DOESN'T LAUGH AND PLAY IF CONSTIPATED LOOK, MOTHERI IS TONGUE COATED, BREATH FEVERISH AND STOMACH SOUR? CALIFORNIA SYRUP OF FIGS" CAN'T HARM TENDER STOM ACH, LIVER, BOWELS. A laxative today saves a sick child tomorrow. Children simply will not take the time from play to empty their bowels, which become clogged up with waste, liver gets sluggish, stomach sour. Look at the tongue, mother! If coated, or your child is listless, cror:s, feverish, breath bad, restless, doesn’t eat heartily, full of cold or has sore throat or any other children’s ail ment, give a teaspoonful of “Cali fornia Syrup of Figs,” then don’t worry, because it is perfectly harm less, and in a few hours all this con stipation poison, sour bile and fer menting waste will gently move out of the bowels, and you have a well, play ful child again. A thorough “inside cleansing” is oftlmes all that is neces sary. It should be the first treatment given In any sickness. Beware of counterfeit fig syrup 9. Ask your druggist for a bottle of “Cal ifornia Syrup of Figs,” which has full directions for babies, children of all ages and for grown-ups plainly printed on the bottle. Look carefully and see that it is made by the “Cali fornia Fig Syrup Company.”—Adv. Foresighted. “Jock, dear, before our wedding, I wish you w r ould see a doctor.” “Why should I? I am well, except for a touch of dyspepsia.” “That’s just it. I’d like you to get a certificate from him which would show that your dyspepsia antedated our marriage.”—Boston Transcript. Thousands Have Kidney Trouble and Never Suspect It Applicants for Insurance Often Rejected. Judging from reports from druggists who are constantly in direct touch with the public, there is one preparation that has been very successful in overcoming these conditions. The mild and healing influence of Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its remarkable record of success. An examining physician for one of the prominent Life Insurance Companies, in an interview of the subject, made the as tonishing statement that one reason why so many applicants for insurance are re jected is because kidney trouble is so common to the American people, and the large majority of those whose applica tions are declined do not even suspect that they have the disease. It is on sale at all drug stores in bottles of two 6izes, medium and large. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten centß to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention this p^per.—Adv. Or a Comic Artist. Mother —Albert, Albert, come here quick. Algernon lias swallowed half a can of green paint.
