NATION STARTED WAR Delegate in London Says He Would Kill Himself Before Admitting It ' .1 LONDON. March 4. (By Associateo press.)Awaiting advices from Berlin as to whether hew proposals are to be submitted to the allies on Monday. Dr. Simons, the. German rorelgn secre tary and the German experts are busy preparing a reply . to some of the arguments used by Premier Lloyd George in delivering the allied ulti matum yesterday ' ' The Germans stronsly, object to the verdict of the allies that they were responsible for the war and the premier's argument, that if they taxed themselves as France and England had dene, they would be' able , to pay what is demanded of them. They claim that internal tsxes, such-as those on sugar, "tobacco and epirits, have not been ioVn (ntn arcoimt. and they are Dre- pared tov produce figurea showings the J allies have unaerraieu- ineir imposi tions. With regard to the question of re sponsibility for the war, the Germans maintain the Kuropc powers were equally at fault and cite a recent speech by Mr. Lloyd-George in which he is quoted- as saying that the world drifted into the war. "It is hard to make a. man who be lieves he is innocent say he is guilty," said one of tho delegates today. "A lor myBelf I would ratnar commit sui- I cide than admit Germany alone was responsible. Anji government which! made such an admission w o u 1 d j promptly be overthrown. So if the ai - Iies are determined to carry "out their , demands they must impose them upon us; they soon will find that the penal- ties which they outlined yesterday wiIllDL'luu oul "ier it not produce what they expect. It is tho treneral opinion ,of Ger mans In London that new propositions will be laid before the supremo council but they have no hope that they will Katisfy the allies. They say that it is impossible to satisfy France, and they now fear Premier Lloyd-Georgo. from whom tbey had expected more lenient treatment, as he had committed him self so far In the French view yester day that it is impossible for him' to. recede. Besides, the Germans hold, the firm attitude .displayed , in yesterday's speech-'was met in ' such good faith that the prime minister must realize he followed the popular view. They believed approval was parti cularly noticeable respecting the de cision to'occupy Duisburg, . Ruhrort and Duesseldorf, which was taken, It iS understood, with the idea of bring ing pressure, on the! big industrial en terprisers, including' that of- Hugo Stinnes; who defied the allies at Spa and who, it Is believed here, instigated Dr. ' Simons' counter proposals and is ,ufging the cabinet to refuse to comply - with rthe. Paris. decisions. ' The spokesman for the German dele gation declared 'this evening that no reply was '.expected from Berlin be fore 'Sunday night, as the cabinet wotild certainly take all thetime pos sible to consider the problem arising from' .the allied ultimatum. .

( Motor to His Home Again in the automobile, with Mrs. Wilson, Admiral :Grayson, his phy sician, and Joseph P. Tumulty, hfs pri vate secretary throughout the eight years in the white house,- Mr.- W1,son seemed if anything to have gained in cheerfulness through the ordeal. He was whirled back over tho Pennsyl vania avenue route, raising his hat in answer to greetings as he was rec ognized by the waiting crowds or the salutes of soldiers and police who lined the way. " A Passing the white house, the ma chine raced, now without escort . of troops or police and Mr. .Wilson gave the stately structure, so long his home, not a glance. He was carried swiftly to his own new home on "S" street, and there a few hundred neighbors had gathered to cheer him, unmindful of the ceremonies blocks away at the capitol where his successor .was taking his oath of office. At horned at last, Mr. Wilson stood with Mrs. Wilson to receive the news paper men' who had accompanied him through the day and most of whom had been long at the white house.' He grasped their hands as they came for ward, presented by Mr. Tumulty, and exchanged a . word or two with each. About him-in the house , a score of in timate friends, gathered to do him honor on his return 'to private life, and rt'-was to Admiral Grayson, who through Iiabit had spoken to him as "Mr. President," that the cheerful cor rection was addressed: . - "No, justs plain Woodrow Wilson, now' - .' . - . - A Wllsoii Demonstration Soon after reaching ,hia new home Mr Wilson, unon the advice of Dr. Grayson," took a short rest in the en deavor to recover from tne unusuai fatigue to which he had been-' sub jected during the day.- By 8 o'clock eeveral thousand people had assembled outside the Wilson home as a part of a demonstration organized by the League of Nations association and the Democratic central committee of the District of Columbia."

RALEIGH, March . 4.-The .legislature is standing by the-2 5" cent fax on all cotton ginned for the purpose of creating-a "fund for the 'erection of cotton warehouses; in Northf Carolina, - and turned a deaf ear to the appeal of mem bers'Of both houses who claim that the cotton warehouse law of 119 has not been ;worth the price. The bill, after running through bitter attacks in both houses, today reached the senate . f Or ratification -and will be in force for the next two years. " Proponents , of the '25 cent tax on every bale- of cotton .ginned had to admit that the first tw,o years had hot been suf ficient time or provided suf--ficient money to erect cotton ware houses in all .of the cotton counties ef the state, but they pointed out that these warehouses had been erected in a large .number of places, and " other cotton producing sections were being taken- care of, as rapidly as the money was Available. It was Impossible to JSuild all .the cotton warehouses out of the money - secured from this tax during the first two years, and it would not he possible to meet all the de mands for warehouses during the-next two years, but applications were being taken care of as rapidly as they come to the authorities .when there - was money in the treasury with which to build these warehouses. .' Advocates of the bill thought the opposition was cutting off its nose to Spite its face in blocking the passage of this bill because they did not have cotton, warehouses in v their- counties. Other counties have benefitted by the law, and the remaining - counties will benefit by it In ' time to come if the, law remains on the .books, If' it was taken off it would be impossible for any other county to get the benefit of the loan fund created by th,e law. That was the view of the majority of both houses and the bill" passed. ', Accompanying the report of the special investigating committee which looked into the charges of inefficient management of the office -of the state architect and buildingi commission, is a bill offered by Representative Glover of Nash, which provides for putting the state architect on full time, and in creasing the number of the members of the building commission from five to seven. The committee is favorins the adoption of this bill, especially that part relating to giving the state archi tect instead or 55,000 ana re quiring' him to ; devote his full time to the work of the state. With the $6,000,000 appropriations to state institutions for building pur poses during the next two years, it is pointed out that It will be practically impossible for the state architect ; to do much outside work. His full time Will be required by the various insti tutions of the state, and he should be required . to devote all of that time to the; work of the .state instead of giv ing only part time to this work and the remainder to his private business. The investigating committee found that there were some delays on the part of the-, building commission and the state architect in getting plans ready foi" the building during the past years, but also decided after full. and Complete investigation of all inter ested that these delays were probably unavoidable. Consequently the report of the - Investigating committee gives the commission: and. the architect clean bill of Ijealth. NEW PRESIDENT TAKES REINS QF GOVERNMENT IN SIMPLEST FASHION (Continued rrom page one) nlayed the national anthem. Then the oath was added and the new Presi dent began his inaugural address reading from manuscript but making his points Avith vigorous gestures that awakened repeated periods of ap plause. The President's visit to tlie senate chamber followed immediately the conclusion of addresses. He ad made known his intention to a few of his leaders and the senate was waiting in special executive 'session to receive him. He went first to "the President's room and was escorted by a commit tee of senators to the rostrum of the chamber to make his first appearance. He read from a memorandum the names of the men he had selected for his official circle of counselors. With in 20 minutes afterhis departure all the nominations had been confirmed. In personally appearing .before the upper branch of congress in executive session. President Harding hark-ed back to a precedent of the earliest ad ministration but disregarded , ever since. Mr. Wilson observed the custom of personally addressing the senate and house when they were in session with open doors, but no President in a century had gone before either at a secret session. Mr. Harding has not., announced a general policy iff" regard to his mes sages, but the - general expectation among those close to him is that all of his important communications to congress will be made .in person.' Reaching the white house shortly before 3 o'clock, the President and Mrs. Harding- had luncheon with the immediate members of their families, Dr. George T. Harding, of Marion, the executive's father, sitting at. his son's table as a guest of honor. Afterward the Hardings held open house to the folks of Marion, wno had come on several special strains to- see, -their neighbors settled in the . executive mansion. ' . . : It was "late In the afternoon, before Mr. .Harding made his first visit to his offices and issued the; order open ing the white house grounds , to the public. In doing so he fulfilled, a prophesy of Mrs. Harding who . de clared on election night last November that one of the first acts of the next administration would be "to , take the policemen away from the white house gates." . Most of Mr. Harding's first evening in the executive offices was spent with his secretary, George Christian, Jr., making a preliminary survey of. the unfinished business left by-the retiring administration. Mr. Christian also completed assignment of a temporary office force, retaining most of those now serving ir clerical, positions, and adding several assistants from the Harding staff sit Marion.
