POLICY OF THE POWERS WITH GERMAN COLONIES Conferees in Accord as to Method of Procedure Affecting Teuton's Col onial Possessions—American Man datory Plan Main Feature. COLONIES NOT TO BE RETURNED Allies and Associated Powers Are Agreed That Colonies Will Not Be Returned to Germany Because of Mismanagement and Cruelty, and Also for Military Reasons. ARIS, Feb. 11.—The accord reached by the council of the great powers concerning the disposal of the German colonies and the oc cupied regions of Turkey in Asia is much more definite than was gen erally supposed. In addition to ac ceptance in principle of the Ameri can plan of mandatories, the plan em braces the following main features: The allied and associated powers are agreed that the German colonies shall not be returned to Germany, ow ing, primarily, to mismanagement, cruelty, and the use of these colonies as submarine bases. The conquered regions of Armenia, Syria, Mesopotamia, Palestine, and Arabia are to be detached from the Turkish Empire. Provision is made wherebv the well being and development of backward colonial regions are regarded as the sacred trust of civilization, over which the League of Nations exercises su pervisory care. The administration or tutelage of these regions would be intrusted to the more advanced na tions, who would act as mandatories in behalf of the League of Nations. These mandatories would not be uniform, but vary according to the degree of development of the colonial region and its approach to the stage of self-government. The mandates in Palestine, Syria, and other portions of Turkey where well developed civ ; ilization exists, would be comparative ly light and would probably permit of provisional recognition of the in dependence of these communities. On the other hand, colonies like ! those in Central Africa would require j a mandatory' with large powers of administration, responsible for the suppression of slave trade, liquor, am j munition and arms traffic, and the ! prevention of exercise of military au thority on the part of the natives ex cept for native police purposes. Other colonies and localities, such as those in German Southwest Af rica and some of the South Pacific | islands, have such sparse and scat tered populations and are so sepa rated from other communities that the laws of the mandatory country would probably prevail in these re gions. The mandatories would report at stated intervals to the League of Na tions concerning the maner in which a colony was being administered. The foregoing general outline indi cates on broad lines the terms where ! by, it is stated, the conflicting views are finally reconciled and a common ' agreement was reached, acceptable to j all the great and colonial powers. j“MOURNER"LAMENTS FOR WHISKY CORPSE Federal Officers Find Coffin Loaded With Booze—Two Under Arrest. Monroe, La.—As a final result of ! the rigid investigation instituted by j federal officials after the discovery of whisky in a coffin labeled as the | corpse of Lulu Crawford, Robert J. | Cook, undertaker, his brother, and Dr. \ J. T. Miller, all of this city, and H. A. ! Dixon, undertaker of Waco, Tex., have been placed under arrest. The men are charged with violating the Reed amendment. They will be given a hearing before U. S. Commissioner A. P. McCormick in Waco, Tex. Whisky Discovered. The discovery of the wihsky in the coffin was made by an express agent who noted the extraordinary weight of the “corpse.” He was reluctant to notify the police at Dallas, Texas, where the baggage was sent, because of the weeping and mourning of Wil liam Crawford, supposedly a relative of “Lulu Crawford.” Crawford’s tears dried when an alarm was sent to the police station. When the officers ar rived he was a calm as a lamb. Dur ing the period of investigation Craw ford decided that a good run was bet ter than a bad stand. He took to his heels. Names Corpse Victor Hugo. Since investigation started it has been found that a “corpse” left here Nov. 21, labeled “Victor Hugo.” It was shipped to Waco, Tex., and con tained several gallons of whisky. The practice, said a department of justice official, was for the undertaker at this city to go to a physician and get a death certificate for a fictitious per. sonage. The death certificate was carried to the bureau of vital statis tics, which issued a burial and trans portation permit. Then transporta tion for the "corpse” and the “rela tive” were purchased. Each “corpse” was accompanied by a "mourner.” I SURPRISE FOR BOTH ! By EVA H. MARTIN. ; «»*w»v»vts»s><vtwsw*v*<*W | “There, now!” said Rhode S., It's finished, and l'ia glad, for It certainly has been a hard job, but it looks good, I'm proud of it, ami I'm going to spend nil my spare time knitting for the sol diers. They have hard jobs, too, at times. And when 1 stop to think of what they are doing for us, it makes me ashamed of myself for calling this a hard job. But it's the first knitting I ever did. And mother says, after I have finished two or three I'll be an expert. 1 wonder if I ever will; for when i look closely at this sweuter 1 can see two drop stitches. "Oh. dear me! I guess I'll have to rip this all out again, and pick them up, and they are fully four inches l4bck. "Say, Mabel, what would you do?" •If It were mine," said her sister, look ing up for the first time during the , conversation, from the aock she was about to finish, “I’d simply darn that place, and let it go at that. The sol dier who is lucky enough to get It won’t mind a little thing like that. And if he does notice It he will won der who took the pains to mend It so neatly, and possibly try to learn who she Is, and what she looks like.” “Well, to save him the trouble I'm going to write my name and address on a slip of paper and tuck It inside somewhere.” "Better still, put one of your little pictures In it, Just for fun." “No, I wouldn’t like to do that. Some fellow from around here might get It, and think rne a fine little goose.” "Oh, go on," teased Mabel, “it might prove romantic, and I’m sure none of the boys who know us will ever get It. But wouldn’t it be fun If brother Bill were to get It himself? He cer tainly would think you had got to be ’some knitter’ since he went to camp." After much argument the photo graph was chosen and tucked away In a little corner provided for the pur pose, and the sweuter, together with Mabel’s socks, returned to the local branch of the American Red Cross where it was packed in a box, with many other comforts for the hoys who were to remain In a Western camp for the winter. In due time the consignment reached camp, and each soldier received a com fort kit, In which were many useful and necessary articles. One evening a few weeks later as Bill S. sat writing letters, he was sur prised to see his old college chum. Jim VV., reading a newspaper at the other end of the room, as he hud heard Jim was in France months ago. "Hello, there Jim, old man, how are you? Thought you were chasing the Huns hack to Berlin long ago." "No, I had hoped to be doing that, but our company has not gone across yet. We have been transferred here, and I can’t say I like the change, for It Is cold. I think I would huve frozen stiff, only for this sweater I got from the Red Cross—fits like a glove; and see what I found tucked In the corner! Really, you’ll think I’ve gone crazy when I tell you I’m in love with her. i I dream of her. take this little picture out ten times a day and look at It and wonder If I’ll ever have the good luck to meet her. Why, what’s up, Bill? You look as though you recognized her." But Bill only answered: "She’s pretty, and I’m glad you like her. Hope she approves of you when you meet. 1 rnuit get ready and finish my letters. I’m going home on furlough for eight days, starting tomorrow. I wish you could arrange It and come along with me. I’ve a little surprise planned for you." "Whnt's the surprise? No, you won’t tell me? All right: I guess It's some thing like the pranks you used to put over on the old professor. Ha. ha!” Two days later Bill and his friend, Lieutenant W„ arrived at the S. home and were welcomed by Mrs. 8., who suld the girls were out, but would soon be back. Just then the doorbell rang and two bright young ladles rushed In and almost smothered BUI with em braces. “There, there, girls! Hold off a min ute until I present my old chum, Jim W.” Then came the surprise. Jim at once recognized Ithoda as the girl of . is dreams und darted some accusing glances at Bill, who was enjoying the Joke to perfection. “Say, what did I tell you, Jim! Some surprise, eh?" The girls wanted to know what BUI meant by the “surprise," and Jim ex plained it by saying it was some of their silly college tricks he w-,s refer | ring to. But when he knew Rboda better and had an opportunity to speak with her alone, he took from the corner of a certain brown sweater i with a neat little mend In It the pic ture he had shown Bill, and told her the whole story, and more, too! Then was Rhoda surprised also, and very happy, and she promised Jim she would continue to knit for the soldiers, but would not put her picture In any more.
