KAISER HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR WAR PLANS LAID TO BRING HIM TO TRIAL DEFINITE DECISION ON REPARATION ENEMY MUST PAY ALL WAR LOSSES COUNCIL DECIDES Germany's Initial Payment Will Be Five Billion Dollars Due May 1, 1921 ANNUAL ASSESSMENTS 30 YEARS THEREAFTER Paris April 9. The respon sibility of the German Emperor ior the war and the means for bringing him to trial by one of the allied governments, probab ly Belgium, have been definite ly determined upon by the Coun cil of Four. This follows the de finite decison on the terms of reparation for war damages, whereby $5,000,000,000 must be paid within the next two years and an inter-allied com mission assess thev remaining damage for a period of 30 years, beginning May 1, 1921. Thus, two of the great obstacles which stood in the path of the rapid attainment of peace have been re moved within the last twenty-four hours, and the period of extreme tension over the inaction. and failure to secure tangible results is succeeded by revived .confidence over the great advance made towards a permanent settlement. How far these results are due to the intimations conveyed by the sum moning to France of the United States transport George Washington by President Wilson is only conjectural. But it is at least a coincidence that the main difficulties began to dissolve from the time that this decision be came known. Nature of Difficulties Not Disclosed. The exact nature of these difficul ties are not disclosed. Friends of the President maintain they were largely of a minor character, not involving large principles, though the Presi dent's adherence to his "fourteen points" as the rigid limitation of the scope of action appears to have run all through the deliberations during the tense period of the lastrjf ew -days. While the tension has been greatly reduced, it is not entirely removed, as much depends on the continuation of progress with respect to the re maining obstacles, notably the Saar Valley, the Rhine frontier, the Adri atic issue and a number of lesser issues which are still short of final agreement. Agreement Result of Compromise. The agreement on responsibilities for the war is understood to have been a compromise between divided reports presented by the commission of which Secretary Lansing is chair man. There was a practical agreement on the general responsibility of the German Emperor for bringing on the war, but division occurred on whether it was feasble to bring him to justice before an international tri bunal. The French and British view favor ed a tribunal, but the American view, it is understood, favored moral indict ment without recourse to prosecution, owing to the lack of an international law as a basis for trial before an international court. Belgium on which the war fell first and heaviest, is rreported to have taken a view much similar to that of the United States, while Japan and Italy were partially in accord with the American view. Differences, Bring New Plan. It was owing to these divergent view-points that the council devised a new plan, whereby one of the allied nations, probably Belgium, would mi tiate prosecution against the former Emperor and others responsible for the breach of treaties, the invasion of territory and the destruction directed against this country and leading to a more general spread of the war. The .exact nature of the agreement is not disclosed, but the foregoing is jbeueved-'to cover the main lines. The text as finally approved on preparations specifies that the enemy countries must admit responsibility for all loss and damage to allied and associated nations and their citizens caused by the injustifiable aggression, But, in view of the inability of the enemy countries fully to recompense these losses, the clause states, an in terallied commission will assess the losses on a just basis for thirty years, beginning May 1, 1921, with an ini tial payment of $5,000,000,000. Ger many is to pay the entire cost of -the commission and staff during the thirty years of operations. The first -oavment is to be credited against Ger many's obligation to pay for the main tenance of the allied troops m the occupation regions, and the second priority is for the' payment of food relief furnished to Germany. ALL AMERICANS MAY BE HOME BY LATE SUMMER Washington, April 7. AporoxL- mately 200 ships are engaged in re turning American troops from over seas and additional vessels afe beiner fitted out for this service with a view to increasing the homeward move ment to 300.000 or more men month. It was said today that at this rate the last the expeditionary forces might be out of Europe by late summer, but that this would- H a- pend largely upon developments at Se peace conference.

This term, the April term, of the Recorder's Court has reached the high tide in number of civil cases to be tried, the number being 51. Court convened Tuesday, with His Honor, D. H. McLean presiding, and L. L. Levinson prosecuting for the State. The court is still in progress as this paper goes to press. In the case of State v. Mack Spence and Andrew Sawyer, in which the de fendants were charged with trespass by a negro, consumed most of Tues- day afternoon, the defendants were found not guilty. Immedately they had a warrant issued charging the prosecutor with assault with intent to kill. Will Williams, negro, was charged with slandering another negro's wife, and for lack of proof he was found not guilty. . . In the case against Kazie McLean and George Hill, McLean charged with distilling, the latter was acquitted and the former drew a sentence of 12 months on the roads, but judgment was suspended upon the payment of $100 and costs. In the case against Gus Hicks, charged with distilling, the defend ant was found guilty and the same sentence imposed as on Kazie Mc Lean. I V. O. Hurst, charged with exceed ing the speed limit with his automo bile, submitted to the charge and was fined $25 and costs. In the case of Dubey Roberts, charged with rape, he was bound over to the May term of Superior Court in the sum of $500. Sandy McNeill, charged with inter- ferring with an officer while in the discharge of his duty, was found guilty and sentenced to six months to the Dunn road district, but judgment was suspended upon payment of $25 and costs. Leslie Scott, a khaki-clad colored haah of WaJfe -County, was fined $35 and costs for resisting an officer. The Recorder stated in this case that re sistance to and interference with an officer of the law while in the dis charge of his duty will be dealt with to the fullest extent of the law, and those who are charged with this of fense henceforward will get the limit in his court. E. B. Reid, charged with selling whiskey, pleaded guilty to the charge and His Honor imposed a fine of $100 and all costs and required him to give a bond of $500 for his appearance at each regular term of the court for two years to show good behavior, John Northan submitted to the charge of exceeding the speed limit and was fined $25 and the costs. Tom McLean pleaded guilty to the charge of trespass and His Honor im posed a fine of $50 and costs. In two other cases the same defendant, who was charged with cursing and swearing and assault on female, was fined $25 and costs in each, from which sentences he appealed to the Superior Court. T.nmV "RvTfl was chartred with as. saulting his wife, and being found ! builtv of the chare, he was eiven thela . j o heaviest sentence imposed yet by the court. He was sentenced to the roads for a term of two years, and from the sentence he appealed to. the Su- peror Court. This was the ugliest and most provoking case tried this term. Arch Truelove, charged with as sault on a female, was found guilty and sentenced to the roads for two years. Later the sentence was chang ed and a fine of $100 and costs and other stipulations in the judgment was imposed on him. A. O. Rogers, charged with speed ing, submitted and a finft of $25 and costs was imposed. The court is de termined to uphold the law against fast driving and the dripers from now on who are wont to "burn the wind" will do well to take heed that the roads and streets in Harnett County are no Pasedena or Palm Beach speedways. The court hopes to complete the criminal docket by Thursday even ing. Since the criminal cases have con sumed the entire two days allotted to both criminal and civil cases, Judge McLean has called a special session of the court for trial of civil cases only to (convene Wednesday, the 16th. It is hoped by doing this that the calen dar will be cleared of all cases and the succeedings terms will not have so heavy a docket. TO UNDERGO OPERATION. Mr. W. Hj Faucette left for Fay etteville Monday afternoon to- enter the Highsmith, Hospital, where he will undergo an operation for an afo cess on his leg. Mr. J. R. Baggett went to Ral eigh Monday on legal business. Lillington, N. C, Thursday, April 10, 1919. TO THE WOMEN OF HARNETT COUNTY. Vho, as true patriots, have ever stood at the right hand of their men. in peace and war, through sunshine and thadow, to the present day, in which they have stood shoulder to shoulder, helpmates in the best sense of the word, giving of themselves; in spirit and in flesh. It was to these women that the call of 1017 came and was answered, wilh the very flesh of their flesh, nor did they stop here. Throughout the yor, of the v.-p.r. when the pons of the na tion were facmg the German hord?.; and their God, they rtod, a solid wall of strength, the second "line of de fense, nor did the line faulter or break any more than did that first line that v as going over the top. In the many arms of the service hands were out stretched, dressings were made to bind up the wounds of the world, bonds were sold from door to door that the men at the front might he protected, supplied with ammunition, clothes and food. The crv'of human- ty was heeded and the desolate chil dren of the earth given bread. Oh women of Harnett County af ter a record such as yours has been. 3 k a time to faulter? The very hon or ox your country is at stake. The men you sent forth strong in man hood, God given, have returned to you Broken, helpless, on crutches, and many walking in darkness. Can you refuse your service, when they call to you for aid? To these your son:. and those who lie in far off Flanders. with heads pillowed low under the poppy-studded fields can vou refuse the very service of your hands because the way looks hard? North and South, women are responding to the plea for service in the Victory Loan. I call to you, not without reason, and before it is too late, asking a service that is yours to give in this sacred cause; just a few weeks of your time as a thank otTerinjr.v The State stands back of you and vill not fail you in this debt of dol lars, which has bought for you the lives of your sons. Will you come to my aid, and to the aid of your county chairman, in our effort for Victory for us all? OLIVIA-BLOUNT LONG, State Chairman National Woman's Liberty Loan Committee. (MRS. JOHN A.

Even with high milk prices, it pays to feed milk to baby chicks, says the Poultry Specialists of the North Caro lina Experiment Station. Not only has it great food value, and ability to maintain a rapid growth, but this mil'- a!so contains a large percent of .the water so needed by the chick. Sour milk is to be preferred to sweet milk, owing to the bacteri cidal powers of the lactic acid which . tv. !: : i c,eanser of the chick s to a great extent prevents the contract ing of diarrhea, the great. enemy of baby chicks. In addition it stimulates the growth of the chicks. When feeding the sour milk, feed both the curd and the whey, allowing the chrcks to drink all they want Put it in the brooder house from the start, wkere chicks can drink it as roon as they are placed under the hover. Clean the pens thoroughly once a day. If the sour milk is al lowed to cake up on the sides of the pan and decay, poisoning the chicks may result. DEBATERS RKTIKX. Masters.
