The eclipse of the council of ten an the emergency of an informal council of "the big four Wilson, Lloyd George, Clcmcnceau and Orlando as the deciding tribunal of the conference is the most significant evidence available of a renewed resolu tion to speed up a treaty of peace, The French semi-official eiplanation is that progress became impossible be cause of the cumbersome size of the eouncll of ten, which, with, its secretar ial, jts experts and tsenographera and its other attaches really became a coun cil of forty. .The delegates were sus pected with some reason, of talking to place themselves on record for future historians, rather than to promote a quick decision, ' Work With Dispatch. The council of four' dispenses with these Inducements to loquacity.

' Credit for this reform, according to British information, lies with Lloyd George, who at the last week end, with drew himself to Fontainebleau. There lie drafted a memorandum setting forth the drawbacks of the existing eystem, suggesting the suppression of the council of ten, except for registering decisions already settled by the council council of four and declaring secrecy imperative. President Wilson supported the proposals made in memorandum as did Clemenceau. This plan is in full, operation and with highly, satisfactory results, it ia said. The British antici- -fmie that a preliminary peace treaty ' will be entirely ready inside of ten days. Lloyd George's memorandum also in , eluded a list of the questions that re mains for decisiou nj allotted time as if under parliamentary closure for their ' disposal. The gravity of the general - situation in Europe is felt, not only to . warrant, but to demand this drastic method of procedure. German Military Personnel. (Br Dm AnoclaUd Prat.)

Thousands . of Jews wre slaughtered in a "pogrom conducted in Buenos Aires Jan. 9, ac cording to a statement issued here to night by the Zionist Organization of America, quoting a report it has re ceived from the Argentine capital. . According to,, tbrs reposf, tufwhite guard'' wai organised tber following a rumor that strikes in that city were the beginning of a Bolshevist revolution incited by the Jews. The report elarged that with cooperation of the police, the "white guard" raided the Jewish quarters, "killing a number that cannot be estimated because all the bodies were burned in a common grave." Jews and persons who resembled Jews were stopped on the street, it was said, and den there from the police. The Argentine branch of the Zionist organization, the report continued, fin-aily-iucceeded in getting the police to end the "pogrom" after it had asserted Each Examined By From Ten To Thirteen Doctors, Says Secretary Baker Washington, March 26. t'pon his re turn to Washington today from a swing around the country investigating army demobilization centers in company with General March, ehief of staff, Secretary Baker said he had found the best rec ord generally of discharge for men from overseas after' their arrival in camps in the United States waa 3 hours. The Beeretary told of one small camp where the men were released on the same day of arrival and said in none of the camps visited did the period exceed six days. Mr. Baker gave a detailed description of the processes of demobilization, in cluding the examinatloa of each man by from ten to thirteen doctors to de termine whether the men had suffered any injurious physical effects by reason of their service with the fighting forces. Each doctor, the Secretary said, is specialist in a certain line and where an ailment is found a board of re view consisting of three doctors make further examination. Mr. Baker called attention to .the fact he tmd by invitation spoken be fore chambers of commerce or similar bodies in many parts" of the country during his trip. In these addresses, he said, he generally spoke of the league of nations proposal as being to nis mind a world necessity because of the ture of modern warfare involving whole peoples in the actual conflict. Mr. Baker added that without exception he had found his hearers ia agreement as to the necessity of establishing some means of substituting arbitration .and peaceful settlements for force in -in ternational disputes. Mr. Baker's plana for a visit to Europe at aa early date have not been changed and be still hopes to sail some time next month. He called attention. however, to reports from Paris that President Wilson might call a special session of Congress at aa earlier date than bad been previously exupected and said he had no knowledge from offical sources a this regard. He added if the session should be called sooner than late May or June date heretofore re garded aa probable, it would vitally af feet his own plans and he indicated his European trip might be abandoned ia mat ease.

' POUTICAL BOSSES Secretary of Farmers Union Sees Increase of Independ ent Thinking in N. C. Kewv aod Ofaatmr Bunau, 404 Pntrtrt Nutoml Buk Bldf. Br W1NTKB8. (Br Sariat Uud Win.) Washington, March 27E. C. Faires, secretary of the North Carolina Farm ers Union, who was criticised by the State" press and public some time ago along with Dr. H. Q. Alexander, for the attitude that some of the members of the Farmers' Union assumed toward the prosecution of the war, took a thrust at what he termed ''the, political bosses in aa interview in a Washington news paper today. "There ia a great deal more independent thinking ia North Carolina than there need to be, although the political bosses are still ia the saddle," he is quoted as having re marked. ''A good proof of this independence is the fset that more than 50,000 quali- fied farmers did not vote in North Caro- Una but year. .Thcy did not feel there was enough difference between the two parties to make it worth while. They' are waiting .for a constructive program to tie up to in a political party. I was a delegate to the Farmers' National Re construction Conference which met here lljt January, and we expect to see their reconstruction program carried out. The party that takes that up ia going to wia a lot of the farmers' votes, I believe, throughout . the country, cer tainly in North Carolina, and' those 30,000 farmers, like the rest want something real, practical and con structive to vote for. Tkey are bound to get it, too." Mr. Faires expressed himself also oa some of the general issues before the people. I favor government ownership of railroads," be said, ''and that the gov ernment should operate them. We are woaderiag, though, how much wo are going to pay the present owners of the railroads. The farmers of onr State do not want to pay for Ttomething that Isn't there. I do not think the people ought to underwrite the losses of those who speculate ia railroad' stocks.
