IMPORTANT NEWS THE WORLD OVER IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS OF THIS AND OTHER NATIONS FOR SEVEN DAYS GIVEN THE NEWS JFJHE SOUTH What la Taking Place *n The South land Will Be Found In Brief Paragraphs Foreign— Serious extension of civil war that has taken place in North China may bring about the greatest changes that have taken place in that country .since the overthrow of the Manchu dynasty. A meeting of all the available mem bers of the Irish cabinet gave further prolonged discussion to the British government's proposal relative to a decision. The Turkish Kelmalist forces are reported from Athens, Greece, to be preparing for a last-ditch stand at An gora. which has become the objective of the Greek armies in their mad dash through Turkey. A Constantinople dispatch says that the Nationalists in the Sivas sector have been ordered to Angora to under take to stop the Greeks in their mad on rush through Turkey.

The cornerstone of the new library of the University of Louvain, planned as a gift of the American people to the people of Belgium, was laid recent ly in Louvain, with elaborate ceremo nies. The government’s set policy of main taining dead secrecy in the Irish nego tiations is having a boomerang effect. Serious criticism is developing, espe cially through the houses of commons and lords, and it is becoming evident that the premier’s hand will be forced within a short time unless the terms of Lloyd-George’s proposals are divulg ed. Opposition is particularly ent in theh ouse of lords, where Lord Salisbury announces that he will in troduce a resolution on August 3 ask ing for explanations. At the same time the insurgents in the lower house are growing obstreperous. No new developments anent the Irish question are reported in Dublin save that de Valera and the premier are known to be in constant communication on issues apart from the main prob lem.

Lord Northcliffe, famous English newspaper man, would not discuss the withdrawal of invitations to a British embassy dinner, when questioned by a newspaper representative. Aggressive measures have been adopted by the shipping board to in sure fair treatment for American mer chant ships in the award of trading privileges in foreign ports. That the pellagra situation has been greatly magnified, that there has been no famine and no starvation, but that there is an increase of the disease over last year which warrants the attention of the people, is the statement of Sen ator W. J. Harris of Georgia. By a vote of 177 to 84 the house re cently passed a joint resolution for re lief of states in the cotton belt which had given aid to farmers forced from the fields in established non-produc tion cotton zones through efforts to eradicate the pink boll worm. The parcel post system is now operating at an annual of approximate ly $50,000,000 a year, declared Con gressman Steenerson chairman of the house committee. Internal Revenue Commissioner Blair announces that he intends to stamp out “fake income tax experts,’’ in connection with the prospective-re vision rtt thfi tax laws. An unprecedented chnnge !n the ra tios of the acreage devoted to leading crops in the cotton belt had been shown this year; eleven million acres have been cut from the cotton, rice and to baeco acreages and slightly less than two-thirds of this area has been taken up with wheat, corn, oats, hay, potaotea and other crops.

Closing of the New Orleans naval station as soon as practicable in the interests of economy is announced by Secretary Roosevelt of the navy department. America’s call to the leading world powers for an armament limiting con ference at Washington is now unani mously approved. With Japan’s accep tance of the suggestion, the last to come in, details of the arrangements for the conclave are being perfected and the formal invitations will be is sued iiy President Harding within a short time. November 11 —Armistice Day—has been suggested as the pres ident’s preference for a date on which to open the conference. Another plea for the release of Eu gene V. Debs and other political pris oners was presented to President Har ding by a delegation representing the Socialist party and the political am nesty committee. Although the conclusion of the dip lomatic advisory council of Japan, which has been meeting in Tokio, are expected to decide finally the course of that country with respect to par ticipation in the proposed far eastern conference, it is stated authoritatively that Japan will ask assurances that a formal agreement as to the scope of the conference discussions be reached prior to the meeting. Herbert Hoover that the American people are taking care of three and a half million orphan chil dren in ten different countries. No American orphans are included in the number.

HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH, GEORGIA. SINN FEIN ACCEPTS PEACE PROPOSALS IT IS REPORTED CONCESSIONS ARE MORE LIBERAL THAN IRISH REPUBLICANS HOPED FOR FORMAL ACCEPTANCE LATER De Valera Leaders Decide Maximum Offered Is Fully Compatible With Irish National Honor London.—“-Lloyd-George’s offer of peace for Ireland, under terms more liberal than the most ardent of Irish republicans had actually expected, has been found acceptable by Sinn Fein, it is learned on unquestionable author ity. Eamonn de Valera and leaders of his party, after examining the pro posals of the British premier for more than six days, have decided that the English project contains the maximum concessions that can be obtained from the imperial government, and that it is completely compatible with Irish honor, affording a measure of self government that can be accepted with out loss of the nation’s prestige. Under the British proposals, It is now declared, Ireland will be given a status as a “dominion” with even great er power of home rule than those pos seessed by Canada. This implies prac tically complete control over both leg islative and fiscal policies, the latter being a point for which the Irish dele gation has consistently fought. Details of the Lloyd-George propos als will not be given to the public un til their formal acceptance, it is un derstood. The momentous decision to acccept the project which will make Ireland a republic in practically everything save the name came at the conclusion of the last consultation between de Va lera and members of the Dail Eire ann, but formal notification of the ac ceptance will not be sent to London for a week or ten days. In the meantime it is expected that all the imprisoned or interned mem bers of the Dail Eireann will be re leased in order that they may be pres ent at the ratification meeting. There seems to be no doubt that de Valera’s acceptance will be followed by com plete confirmation by the Irish parlia ment. Ulster will be treated, during the in terval before the new scheme can be come effective, as a subordinate par liament, and will then be offered the opportunity of joining the rest of the country under the working of the cen tral Irish government. The truce, which has been strictly kept, will, upon announcement of ac ceptance of the terms, come to an official end. But in the great spirit of peace which now prevails, there is none who wants to return to the old days of hostility, and, although the people may be unaware of the impending momentous development there is little danger that “war” will come again in southern Ireland. A touch of saber rattling is report ed by the Daily Herald’s Belfast, cor respondent, who says that the Ulster service men's organization has asked for its transformation into territorial forces at once, its members passing a resolution to the effect that "this is the time for action —not words.’’ Train Hits Auto, Engine Crew Injured South Bend, Ind. —D. L. Flynn, Elk hart, Ind., fireman, was fatally hurt, and A. J. Johnson, was severely scald ed recently when New York Central train N 0.28, struck a heavy automobile truck at New Carlisle. Ind. The loco motive, with ten mail, baggage and passegner coaches, were derailed as a result of the impact and although many passengers were bruised, none was seriously hurt. The truck driver escaped by jumping. Postpone Action On Debs Pardon Washington.—Submittal of a report to President Harding concerning a pardon for Eugene V. Debs, socialist leader, imprisoned at Atlanta tor vio lation of the espionage laws, will be deferred until after the president re turns from his ten days’ visit to New England, Attorney-General Daugherty said recently. Mr. Daugherty declar ed that his study of the case had pro gressed to the point where he could dictate recommendations for the pres ident's consideration in a short time. $70,000 Jewels Seized In Chicago, 111. Chicago.—Unset diamonds and other jewels valued at $70,000 wers seized recently in a north side apartment house in the federal investigation of a gigantic smuggling ring discovered here during the recent past. The gems were found sewed in the lining of a coat said to belong to Hyman Finerran of Los Angeles, a jeweler, arrested and held in two thousand dol lar bond on the charge of smuggling. The police have had great difficulty in locating the gang and pride themselves in this important capture. STATE CAPITAL LETTER Resume Of A Week’s Activities Relative To Georgia’s Law makers Told In Brief Lively debate over an Increase of from 10 to 30 cents a ton in the tax on fertilizer inspection In the state, and the passage of a substitute bill which will give Georgia a law con trolling and directing the operation of motor vehicles In Georgia was fea tured. The house of representatives, after the house had adopted the new general tax bill offered, with a few minor changes. The $5 tax on bach elors was reconsidered and defeated. The motor vehicle act passed by the house recently is a re-enactment of a bill passed by the extraordinary session of the legislature in 1915, under the administration of Governor Nat E. Harris. All but one section of the bill was declared unconstitutional, on account of the fact that it did not bear upon the reasons given by the governor in his call for the special session. The session was called to consider taxes, and consequently only that part of the 1912 bill dealing with license tax was declared constitu tional. , Passage of an amendment to the general tax act imposing a penalty of $5 each on all unmarried persons of sound mind and over 30 years of age in Georgia provided the distinct feature of a recent, session of the house of representatives. The amendment was introduced by a group of legislators led by Bowden of Ware and Davis of Floyd, who ex plained that this item alone, should it become effective, will net the state an annual increase in revenues of $3,- 920,000, since there are 784,000 per sons in the state who would feel its effect. The house voted on the amendment was 68 to 67 in favor of its incor poration in the general tax measure. A move to substitute the tax sys tem now in effect for the new gen eral tax act, which is slated to in crease the state’s revenue annually by about $1,000,000, and heated de bate over the question of whether the state should employ special in vestigators to ferret out possible tax delinquents, were other features of the house session. After a three-hour session in which the condition of the state’s finances was discussed at length the senate appropriation committee recommend ed to pass by a 9 to 4 vote the house bill providing for the discount of the next five year’s rental of the Western and Atlantic railroad to meet the fin ancial crisis that is faced by the state. It is claimed £hat about $2,750,000 will be realized by the state at once by discounting the rent for the next five years on the state road and this money is to go to meet unpaid appro priations for 1921.
