Stage Set For Closing Scenes of Peace Congress Terms for Ger mans Reduced to ( Minimum. The Associated Ppes gives the fol ing Bumwaryv . ! The btage la set f or, the closing scenes of the peace congress, so far as. the Germans- are concerned. W'th in a few hours it is expected that the Germans will be told the terms. brought down to an irreducible mini' mum on, which the allied and asso ciated governments are ready to take un .relations 0n a peace footing with the new German republic. The period of five days after de-j livery of the reply of the Allies to the Germcrn counter proposals has been fixed for the signature or re jection of the treaty. It is intimated from Paris that Germany's admission to the league of nations is set for the "near fu ture." .Previous dispatches would in dicate that the reply, to Count von Brockdorff-Rantzau would merely state the conditions considered nec essary for German entry into the league, such as fulfillment of the treaty terms and of Germany's inter national obligations, including repar ations an1 the payment of the allied I terms. Important for Germany, as well as iiui.hib tuiitfu countries, is a plan out 4AM . U - .112 1 i , lined in the answer to' the German counter proposals.' This provides fpr civil, rather than military, adminis tration or the region on the left bank of the Rhine. Under the rjronnsal nn- thority would be placed in the hands of a commission consisting of one member for each of the great powers, muo rendering unnecessary the,main tenance of a larce occunationnnf.r As Germany, under the terms of the armistice, stands obligated to pay ine expenses or tne military oqcupa-tion-of the Rhineland, the sums sav ed to her by the substitution of ivi1 for military administration would be enormous. Austria's reply to the treaty pre- aeriteu 10 tier delegates is due Tues day, but, as the treaty in its present form lacks many important clauses it is prooaoie that a request for fur ther tide would be favdrablp consid ered by the peace conference. The council of four will devote part of Monday to consideration of the re maining sections of the Austrian treaty and efforts are to be made to whip the document into form- as ex peditiously as possible. Bolshevik and anarchistic disor. ders ' are reported from Switzerland. Twa persons were- killed smd "17 wounded, according to official figures in a serious uprising in Zurich in which the prefecture was itor.cd, the hall of justice looted and the ' ii hives burned.

FINEST OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ROADS County Officials Should Press Claims For State and Federal Aid For Road Construction to Final Con '. elusion. Mr. W. A. McGirt of Wilmington, president of the North Carolina Good Roads association, is urging upon countv officials the importance of losing no time in applying for State and Federal aid in road construction and, when application is made, press ing the claims to an early and final conclusion. Following is a letter hi has just sent to Robeson county commissioners: . .. "The most progressive counties m the State are availing themselves of the State and Federal aid for road, construction and the commissioners of these counties are very active in nreaaina? their claims for aid. .' ."It is the finest opportunity toi hniM roads and hiehways at a mm VUUU IWUO anu imum cost that road builders have ever naa. jpporiuniue- utu m now have are entirely new and un heard-of. Woe to the officials of any county who fail to submit their claims or applications for State and Federal aid at this time. Alter ine applica tions are filed with the State High- Coiwrusiiqn. it as the duty of the officials charged with the conduct of the county's affairs to press tne claims for State and Federal aid to an early and final conclusion. You will agree, I am sure, that, officials who have not the time, the patience or, the energy and courage to follow up their applications should retire and give way to men who will handle th business of the county in a bus-laesa-ttke way. v t : "tt:,4s hard to conceive of any county failing at this time to seie every opportunity to ouua up ana ue velop its resources. ' . "I feel that I am safe in stating that evy county involved in the, construction ox the proposea Ane ville, Charlotte, Wilmington highway is alert to the tremendous advantages that would follow the building of this great highway through the county. This highway wouldjink up the mountain region, the rich pied mont section and the coastal plain, and would be the main artery for travel from Georgia and South Caro-i Kna. This highway vould ,afford amele oDoortunitv for the traveling public to see at close range the won-! derful possibilities of this section of the State. Thousands of men and women would traverse this country going to and fro, mounlai.is id shore. "Doubtless you have already applied j for your share of the State and Fed eral aid and intend to press your claim vigorously. "However, if for good reasons you I have , not filed your claim for aid rim uie cuius niguwuy vuiiimis sion.'r trust you will give the matter very careful consideration and send a committee to Raleigh at once with an application which will guarantee to your county the building of its link in the proposed State highway."
