14 NEW RUSSIA TO BE UNDER RULE OF OWN PEOPLE Allietl Governments Hear Dec laration From Conference of Ambassaodrs in Paris EQUALITY AIM FOR ALL Urge Encouragement of Pri vate Initiative ancl Attrac tion of Capital Paris. Jan. 29.—A declaration has been issued and delivered to the Al lied governments by what is called "a conference of Russian ambassa dors and businessmen in Paris." The declaration says the object qf the conference was to defend the rights and interests of Russia by sol emnly proclaiming, in the name and by the order of the urfited govern ments of Russia, the principles by which the nation's policy will be in spired. "No matter when order is restored in Russia." the declaration continues, "this order cannot be founded on the principles w htch formed the basis of the ancient regime." The principles which will form the basis of the democratic organization of Russia are: 1. The new legal order must be founded on the sovereignty of the people, who will exercise their power through organizations of their own choice, which will be responsible to the people and will guarantee to them the unalien ability of their sovereignty. 2. No difference is to he made between the people's preroga tives and class privileges. There will be equality for all in the eyes of the law, and free access to all the degrees of the political and social scale. 3. The rapid development of producing forces. Tiie encour agement of all private initiative and all measures likely to attract | capital into the country. At the I same time the state must adopt j all measures to safeguard for the laboring classes all the economic ami socia lexperience acottmu- | lated by international practice. 1 4. The most important ques- , tion must be the settlement of j the. agricultural problem, which, J to attain social peace, must be j solved in the interest of the j large masses. 3. During the revolution a dis orderly movement occurred on the part of peasants who took possession of the land. This ex- | • •optional situation demands ex ceptional means for dealing with it. but to reutrn to the ancient slate of affairs is impossible. Peasants must own more laml hitherto, but for the present I state of anarchy there must be ! substituted some legal basis. Recalls Resolution The declaration continues by ad- j l ocating "administrative decentrali-1 xation'' and recalls that after the j revolution of 1917 the new Russia | proclaimed the independence of Po-i land and revised the ties uniting Rtis- I sia and Poland. A: that time, it is ! sa'd, the autonomy of the Baltic peo ples was urged. "This tverk, interrupted by the Bolshevist movement, must be re- | sumed," the declaration says. "New J Russia must destroy at their origin J tro; artificial ca'iocs of unhealthy! separatism. She must cause the unity of the state u> become organic l-\ making the Interests of the stale, j as a whole, correspond to the par ticular Interests of .each of the na- j tionalities represented in the coun t ry." Russia Claims Indcniully The declaration concludes by say ing: "Russia pledges nerself to ful fill all olbligati ms arising from treaties she concludes, but claims the right to be indemnified by the ene my for damages sustained during the war, which cause 1 he- heavy sacri fices." HOTELS ASK FOlt LICENSE RENEWALS [Continued from First Page.] iseo,, did not apply as his license' was revoked last year when he j pleaded guilty to a charge of vio-1 lating liquor license laws. He was \ sentenced also for the offense. Last year Charles E. C. Hoover I and Harry E. Fetrow, both applied! for a license for the Fort Hunter! Inn, Rockville. The court refused' 1 lie petitions, but this year Hoover! libs applied again. Although the breweries are no; longer making beer, four of the five! licensed ones in the county again' applied. The. petition for the| Graupner brewery at Tenth and! Market streets, had not been filed at' an early hour this afternoon, but it j was believed that attorneys would: present it before the prothonotary's' office closed. Still Have Hopes Lawyers to-day said that it is evi-' dent the present license holders be-! lieve the July 1 order will not be enforced and that their permits to! sell intoxicants will be good until! next January when the prohibition amendment becomes operative. Others who were not so optimistic about the future of liquor sales it is believed took a chance on the probable revocation of the July 1 order, and rather than not have a license should they be permitted to sell liquor after that date, preferred to pay the tax and do business pend ing any further action by the gov ernment. Unless the order effective July 1 is changed, all places which are licensed and pay a tax for the full year, must close four months after the 1919 permit becomes effective, as the license which each now holds is good until March 1. POLK PROCLAIMS NATION DRY 1920 [Continued from First Pago.] self prohibition becomes effective one year from that date. The proclamation was signed by Air. Polk at 11 .-SMC o'clock in the presence of Senator Sheppard, of Texas, author of the amendment resolution; former Secretary Bryan, Representative Randall, of Califor nia, Prohibition member of the House, and officials of the Anti- Saloon League of America; the Women's Christian Temperance Union and other anti-saloon organ izations. WEDNESDAY EVENINu, MRS. BAILEY TO ENTERTAIN THE D. A. R. AT TEA jXotod Speakers Appear Be fore Conference; Re ports Are Read "This country lias now taken such I' a place of leadership among the na tions of the world that its action is crucial in deciding whether this i shall be the last great war. It holds 'in its grasp, in exceedingly 1 port |Unt respects, the decision of tne I'u- I ture of civilization In the world. A i graver responsibility never rested ! upon any single people. It is so seri j ous that if politicians use this pres • ent situation for partisan purposes 'they are committing a crime, the ! dangerous consequences of which are j beyond estimate." So declared Dr. William F. Slocum, of New York city, a member of the executive | committee of the League to En ; force Peace, addressing the twenty j second conference of the state D. j A. R. in session in the Penn-Ilarris Hotel hero this morning. "Three things are evident to one | who is a student of international his -1 tory," said Dr. Slocum, "first, 1f ! there is not a strong and permanent j union of the nations of the world in j the interest of the higher welfare of | all nations, there cannot be a stable i and lusting peace: second, if the I government of the United States j does not give its generous and hearty ! support to such a union of nations, it will never come into existence; and third, if the work of such a Lea gue of Nations is not broadly and permanentlycoustructed it will be a failure even if it is organized. "The point of failure of peace treaties has been that the dominat ing element in them has been arbi trary and negatice, such as the un natural fixing of state boundaries Or the closing of the Dardanelles. Balance of Power "The attempt to create a so-called •balance of potyer" has never kept the peace and is a misnomer and a misapplied term, for such a plan never has and never can make it impossible for one group'of nations to impose its will upon another. Sooner or later a conflict will ensue | and the defeat of one must follow, i "There must be same other prin , ciple of action if lasting peace is to be established. "This can only come as all the | nations seek together by compact | and agreements to produce the best possible condition for each. This ! can and ought to be done so that ! the strength and success of all is j found in the prosperity of each. This it is which will bring a con structive life into all the world and i drive out those destructive principles of action which ever in the end lead to war both in a group of federat- I ed states or a federated group of na j tions or empires. "Secret treaties made by com promise. by concessions to selfish nations, by arbitrary decisions, and by refusing to consider the rights of the small nation, cannot be the basis of stable peace. "It must be with the recognition of the rights of the greatest em pire and of the weakest nation. It ! should be with the acknowledgment I that every people has a right to en | poy its own life, its own special de velopment of character and national | peculiarities, and its rights to life, liberty and, the pursuit of happi ness." Mrs. Edwin J. Decevee led the sing ing which opened this morning's ses sion. The invocation was pronounced by the Rev. Dr. George Preston Mains. Mrs. John P. Hume. State Regent of I>. A. R.. of Wisconsin brought greet ings. Reports of Chapter Regents were given in which were contained accounts of the war work done dur ing the past year. Dr. II re lit Speak* Dr. J. George Becht, executive sec retary of the State Board of Educa tion was the principal speaker at the afternoon meeting. He narrated his experiences on a recent trip overseas and praised the troops for their splendid morale. The various agencies for United War Work were given praise, too. for their magnificent service. Mrs. Gains Brumbaugh, ex registrar of the National Society of D. A. R.. spoke on "Children of the American Revolution." and Mrs. Harold R. Howell, vice-president gen eral of lowa, brought greetings. This, afternoon at f> o'clock the Daughters will be the guests at tea : of Mrs. William Elder Bailey. Front and South streets. This evening they will hear the Rev. H. W. A.

Elmer Hobbs Ley. soloist at the Bine Street Presbyterian Church, formerly with "The Prince of Pilsen," will sing. An interesting feature of the con vention was the report of Mrs. George I*. White, treasurer, in which are re vealed a number of the many ac tivities of the organization. Among the special funds that passed through her hands and were forward ed to the treasuier general, accord ing to her report, are: • Philippine Scholarship $33.00 Belgian Relief 5.00 Training Camp Fund 50.00 Nurse's Salary, Maryville Col lege 30.00 Hindman School, Ky 30.00 Pine Mountain School.

Bunks of flowers add grace and beauty to the front of the big room. A total of 177 delegates, fifteen al ternates. and a grand total of 314 in attendance at the sessions according to the register, was announced at noon by Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones, vice-chairman of the credentials com mittee. Fifty chapters and live or organizing chapters are represented. Mutual Concession* "To formulate such a pence neces sitates mutual concessions, and, much more then this, it demands the willing recognition of the rights of all peo ple that dwell on the face of the earth, and that, above all and in all, there is Oi.e w-ho has brought to hu manity i.te revelation that till men everywhere are brethren because the eternal God is the Father of every human being.

Three Secret Pacts oil Program In connection with the territorial questions before it. the Peace Con ference is confronted by no less than three secret treSties, says the Paris edition of the London Daily Mail to day. "The first is the treaty between I Great Britain, Franco and Italy, dis posing of the Adriatic coast, which conflicts violently with Jugo-Slav and Czecho-Slovak interests," the Mail continues. "The second is the tr.eaty between Great Britain and Japan under which Japan gels the German islands in the North Pacific. The third is the treaty between Great Britain and tlie king ot" the Hcdjaz under which Damascus forms a part of the territory given to the Tledjaz kingdom^ French Desire Damascus "Damascus lies near the Border fine of the spheres of control in Syria and Palestine agreed upon be tween the British and French. Un der this agreement Palestine from the Sea of Galilee lo the Egyptian border is a British protectorate ad ministered for the special benefit of the Jews, while north of the Sea of Galilee to Asia Minor it comes under the French. The latter, however, are most anxious to have Damascus included within their sphere, while the Jledjaz delegates are equally anxious to retain Damascus, as it is already under their administration." Paris. Jan. 29.—Germany's col onies is again occupying 1 lie atten tion of the supreme council of the great powers to-day, and the dis position of this small empire, scat tered over the African mainland, in Asia and throughout the Pacific, is presenting a territorial question of the first magnitude. Financial considerations have en- ; tered largely into the discussion of ",the internationalization of the Uer ; man colonies, which have been, gen- I erally regarded as the chief asset | of Germany, in Nettling war claims, i While Japan has made it clear that | she is willing to return the actual territory included in the Kiuu Chow concession to China, she desires to retain the German railways, mines and other valuable concessions in Shantung province to reimburse her' for war expenses. Claims Are Heard Australia lias advanced a similar reason for claiming the New Guinea Islands, and New Zealand for claim-) ing Spmoa. Japan's claims to the! Marshall and Caroline groups are! supported on the same grounds, and ti similar reason is offered for the| {actual transfer of the German Afri-i | can colonies to members of the en-' | tente. t I China objects to having the con-1 cessions which Germany forced from her transferred to Japan in settle-1 nient of the war claims of an ally,! while it is asserted that President \\ ilson opposes actual annexations! and insists upon the international!-! zation of all the Phcifio and African German colonies. But under an in-1 ternationalization plan the entente! powers apparently are unable to" see! how their claims against Gemiany would be met and objection has been raised that if actual transfer of the colonies is not made to certain pow ers in settlement of war claims, th°{ chief asset of Germany would be eliminated, as the nation to whose guardianship the colonies was en-! trusted by the league of nations! could not hold them as its property.'

MAY REDUCE THE COUNTY TAX [Continued from First Paso.] I nary expenses of the county, the amount left for building new bridges |or taking care of roads is small. In | fact to set aside such sums as I i have tentatively placed for these ob jects, necessitates cutting $5,000 from the requisition as made by the Directors of the Poor, and robs what we ordinarily; call the general con tingent fund. To this fund we ap i propriate all revenue over and above current appropriations to be held 'as a reserve for any emergency I which might present'itself. In this ' bill as prepared the sunt so set aside | is but $3,614.33 which will scarcel.-.' I care for the appropriation you will | be called upon to make later in the year for the Mathers' AsSisfant Fund to say nothitig of the probable costs lin connection with the reassessment I of coal lands. | "YVe are faced with another con ; dition —that is the readjustment in ; lubor conditions brought about by ;he world war—pending such ad justment it is necessary to keep all labor employed. The national and state government recognize this fact and it is equally the duty of county government to take the matetr into consideration—that Is lo plan dur ing the current year for al public work that can within the bounds of reason be expected. To this end would it not be wel to hold the tax rate at five mills and secure ap proximately an additional revenue of $34,000 —the same to be used on j work of a public character. Should conditions improve so that it would I not be necessary or reasonable to j carry out the thought we have in I mind, th asurplus revenue or any ! part thereof remaining after caring | for all contructs made to be placed in a fund to be knavn as the new | courthouse fund. Sooner or later a • new courthouse wll be built and the establishment of such a fund now. and the adding to it year by year of surplus revenue or direct appro priation would materially reduce the i sum required to be raised by a bond | issue. The fund so raised to be in vested in government or municipal i bonds and the interest earnings , thereof to be added to the fund."
