Th eed for a new nign school has engaged the attention of the cit izens for some time past. Meetings were held to discuss means by which iWr fnmllipB In the rear of the mill building a warehouse 60 x 110 feet is In course of construction. The warehouse was so planned that when completed the Triform leading to it will approach within three feet of the company s railroad track. Thus cotton can be loaded direct from the cars on the Cck to the platform, avoiding un i.ecessarv hauling. The warehouse will be completed In a few weeks. Electricity for the operation of the i .Ml and for the lighting of the mill v .lage Is secured direct from the f'liilhern Power Company.

The great powers, on tne her hand, are faced with a situa- lon mat it eacn siaie is Bien one member on a supreme court of na- ions they might find themselves in lie minority although their interests ight be much greater and probably ould be. It is not believed the great pow s would consent to an arrangement f this sort and a situation similar to hat at the second Hague peace con rence appears to be in the making. The experts on the society of nations question are hopeful of finding a waj o get the smaller states to agree to the plan so that it win not iau. as Elihu Root's scheme for a supreme court of nations failed of approval at the second conference at The Hague. The directing force of the peace conference, which resides in wnai ow are generally called the Big Five" allied and asocialed powers, lindine great relief from the study of the details of complicated secondary questions through the commissions which have been created for these necial problems. In this category falls the subject of the conflict mg iins of t he smaller nations or tne entente to territory wnicn is nseij lo lie taken from enemy countries. hia iiiiesiion takes a great deal of lime to study. It i the design of the supreme council, or "Die Five" that such ques tions as these be ultimately adjusieu n harmony with the principles ot the sor elv of nations, it is expiaineu but pending the complet inn of the orcanizizaiion or that society it has been round expedient to arrange tor a full hearing or all these claims Thm complex issue rawed Dj. tne claims of Greece, not only to enemy territory, but to sections also claimed by other friendly States, after being slated by Premier venizeios, were re feried to a committee of experts to further examination, leaving the su preme council free to take up other questions. The report or mis com Ittee probably will not be acieo up on until a society of nations Is In be no and the principle established on which all such claims will be decided. It is exoected the same course will he followed with the claims or nai m territory bevond the Italian lire denta proper, which are to be heard npt bv the supreme council. This method of worK gives me members of the society of nations committee a better opportunity hasten their work. indications are that this system will make it possible to get tne soc etv of nations plan out of committee and hefore the plenary coiuerence within the ten days remaining President Wilson's stay in Fiance. The smaller nations are begtnntn to -show a disposition to revolt agains any plan that does not recognize their full equality in a socieiy or nations with greater powers. Thus, a situa tion similar to that at tne seconn peace conference at the Hague at which the plans of Elihu Koot. an American delegate ror a supreme t . A court or naiions, was mi threatens to develop. The ereater powers, it is supposed. would not consent lo the admission of the court of a member for each state regardless of its size and Importance. rearing they mlgnt ne lonnu in me minority notwithstanding tticir great er Interests In every great issue. It is hoped the experts, profiling troni tne experience at the Hague conference will find a way to secure the adhesion of the smaller nations to the plan which is being perfecled rapidly.

The story of Germany's supreme effort for military victory in th spring of 1 It 1 8. of American interven tion on the wesieru front aud of Ihe ultimate crushing defeai or the enemy and the apparent annihilation of nearly half of his lighting force was graphically told in figures made pub lic Thursday by the war department. They deal with the "rifle strength' of the allies and ihe German forces on the western front in monthly peri ods from April 1 to November 1. and were prepared by the intelligence di vision of the general staff or the American army in France. By rifle strength was meant th number of men standing in the trench ready to go over with bayo net." When Germany struck iti great blow last spring, it had a mil lion and a half men so classified against the allied total of million and a quarter. By June 1. the Germans reached their peak with 1.639,000 rifles, but despite the terrific pressure they were everting against the allied lines, American aid was overcoming the handicap and made possible the counter blov delivered in July. The allied strength on June 1, was 1.496.00". Shortly afterwards the allies reached a total of 1.547,000 composed of "78,000 French, 515. 000 British and 2.'t.000 Americans. America's contribution had risen from 65,1100 in April. On July 1. Germany's power had begun to wane and for the first time it was definitely inferior in rifle strength villi 1,412, 000 compared to 1,556.000 for the allies. I'p lo September 1. the allied strength continued io rrain despite ihe desperate counter-attack which was being driven forward all along (he line. In mid-October the Amer ican strength had linen to an estima ted force of 350.O00. On September 1 the allied line was at its greatest sirengih with 1.6S2.00O, ayainst Ger many's 1. 339,000. While the allies had shrunk in ri fles to 1.4 85.000, on November 1, Germany's last hope was gone as she faced that army with only 866,00'; bayonets.
