Addr*M I ■ Bo* 127 a Btroi oyliuQ, xikbMMi IMPORTANT NEWS THE WORLD OVER JMPOftTANT HAPPENINGS OF THIS AND OTHER NATIONS FOR SEVEN DAYS GIVEN THE NEWS JIFJHE SOUTH What Is Taking Place In The Bout* land Will Be Found In Brief Paragraph* Foreign— Official dispatches on the situa tion at Marash, in the Villayet of Alep po, Syria, where French troops have been having a severe struggle with Turkish forces, announce that the French succeeded in extricating them selves after hard fighting. The French evidently withdrew hastily, as they were compelled to leave their wound ed, which will be cared for by the American Red Cross. The decision not to cust Turkey from Constantinople was reached by the allied supreme council only after long consideration of the dificulties in the Turkish situation, Premier Lloyd-George declared in the house cf commons when the question of the future of Turkey was brought up for debate. The influence which had de cided the peace conference to retain the Turks in Constantinoplefi the pre mier said, had come from India. Lloyd-Georga, speaking in the house of commons recently, said: "For the moment America must be reckoned as entirely out of any arrangement we can contemplate for the government of Turkey and the protection of Chris tian minorities." I'X is definitely stated in London that Sir Auckland Geddes, if he is persona grata to the United States, will be selected as British ambassador to the United States. Sir Robert Stevenson Horne, minis ter of labor of Great Britain, will suc ceed Sir Auckland Geddes as president of the English board of trade. A dispatch from Melbourne to Lon don says Capt. Sir Ross Smith has landed at the Point Cook airdrome there, concluding his flight from Syd ney to Melbourne, the last stage of his trip from England—covering more than thirteen thousand miles in all. London advices report that an at tempt has been made to assasinate Prince Regent Alexander of Serbia and Premier Protitch. Both the prince regent and the premier were wound ed, the report says. Because of a sensational libel suit of Matthias Erzberger, minister of fi nance of the German republic, against Dr. Varl Helfferich, former minister of the treasury, Erzberger has volun tarily retired from the portfolio. The nature of the testimony left Erzberger no other course, it is contended. Washington— President Wilson has signed the oil land leasing bill which opens up for development millions of acres of land in the west. The totatl area of oil lands thrown open for lease under the bill is estimated by the geological sur vey at more than 6,700,000 acres, and proven coal lands under government withdrawal total approximately 30,- 000,000 acres, with 39,000,000 acres still to be classified. Phosphate lands are estimated at 2,700,000 acres. President Wilson's reply to the en tente premiers on the Adriatic ques tion has been dispatched by the state department. Officials still declined to discuss the contents of the communi- cation, but it is known that in his exchanges with the premiers the pres ident has made an unequivocal state ment of the American government's po sition, especialy with regard to the forming of agreements without the participation of this country. After more than a year of discus sion as to the future of American rail roads, following the twenty-six months of government control, congress has at last completed its part of the leg islative procedure establishing the stat utory basis on which private operation will be resumed March 1, and the Cummins-Esch bill now goes to Pres ident Wilson. Charles R. Crane of Chicago, busi ness man, millionaire and world trav eler, who was appointed minister to China by President Taft in 1909 and recalled while on the way to Pekin for "talking too much," has been se lected by President Wilson for the same post to succeed Dr. Paul Reinsch. Formation of a political labor party would be detrimental to the interests of labor exactly in line with that which is most ardently desired by those who seek to oppress labor, Sam uel Gompers, president of the Ameri can Federation of Labor, declares. Possibilities of a substantial break in the Democratic peace treaty, ranks in the senate impelled influential Dem ocratic senators to move for a caucus to discuss a possible change in party policy, and revived the hopes of the Republicans that the treaty might be ratified with the Republican reserva tions adopted at the last session of congress. Wilson Phillips of Massachusetts, now assistant secretary of state, has been nominated by President Wilson to be minister to The Netherlands and Luxemburg. THE COURIER. FOREST CITY. N. C Soviet Russia's proposal to the Unit ed States for peace will receive no consideration from the American gov ernment, officials declare, who further say the proposals differ in no mate rial way from previous overtures. The invitation of the British and French premiers to President Wilson to join them in a formal proposal to the Italian and Jugo-Slav governments to negotiate a new Adriatic settlement on the basis of the withdrawal of all previous agreements caused no sur prise in official Washington. It is agreed by all in the know that the nation will not have to wait long for a show-down between President Wilson and Democratic members of the senate. The issue is drawn. Sen ators are advancing to meet it. Its set tlement will be a matter of days if Senator Henry Cabot Lodge succeeds in his program of keeping the treaty of peace constantly before the senate until a conclusion shall be reached. Definite confirmation has been ob tained from authoritative sources in Washington that the United States, un der the international shipping agree ment, restated to the senate by Pres ident Wilson, will have to pay into the German reparation pool from twenty million to thirty million dollars for re tention of the German ships seized in American harbors at the outbreak of the war. Democratic senators realize they are facing a serious problem over the peace treaty. They are aware that upon their solution of it hangs not only the fate of the treaty in the current effort for ratification, but the solidarity of their party in the forth coming presidential campaign may be threatened. Domestic — Governor Robertson declared that ratification of the federal woman suf frage amendment was completed in Oklahoma, as far as the legislature is concerned, because the senate and the house have adopted concurrent resolu tions.
