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.
