State* wheat director, under the au-

order laaued by President Wilson.
“The large available supply of
ocean tonnage," said Mr. Barnes, in
announcing the order, "and the pros-
pective larger demand for grain move-
ment, made It both advisable and de-
sirable that the Oulf ports should ship
larger quantities of foodstuffs than
was possible under the conditions a
year ago. It Is hoped by this moder-
ate advance to attract there enough
wheat to supply the tonnage that can
be loaded."
No other changes In the guaranteed
prices now effective at Atlantic and
Pacific ports nre contemplated, Mr.
Barnes said.

Versailles—Tha world war waa

peace treaty with Germany.
Tb* epochal meeting In the Hall of

ard and the German delegates were

Tba Chinese plenipotentiaries did
not algn and warp not present. They
have written to the prealdent of the
conference stating that they would
not b* present and that thay were
awaiting instructions from tholr gov-
ernment.
Prealdent Clemenceau put the di-
rect question to the Germnna wheth-
er thay were willing to sign and exe-
cute loyally all tha terms. The other
delegates did aot rise when the Ger-
mane came Into the ball.
Oeneral Jan Christian Smuts, one of
ti\* delegates representing the Union
of South Africa, signed the treaty
uadar protest. He objected to certain
territorial settlements making a
lengthy statement.
Tha protocol was signed by all
those who signed the peace treaty.
The Rhine arrangement was signed
by the American, Belgian, British and
French plenipotentiaries.
All the plenipotentiaries having
algned the treaty, M. Clemenceau de.
elarad the session closed.
German Envoys Depart First
The Oerman delegates left the hall
ffnst, the allied representatives re-
maining in their seats. Those who
had assembled In the hall then went
to the terrace to sea tha fountains
playing.
Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd
Oeorge and President Wilson were
photographed together on the terrace.
After the demonstrations the three al-
lied leader* left Versailles In the
same automobile, the crowds follow-
ing and cheering.
At a small table In the center of
the great Hall of Mirrors, the chief
room of the palace here, representa-
tives of the German republic meekly
accepted the peace terms wl)lch prac-
tically ends Germany ns a world pow-
er, at least for many years. It was
this same room which witnessed the
arrogance of Bismarck and Von
Mollke, and today the representatives
of the defeated German empire ac-
cepted the fate which resulted from
the Junker's dream of world dictator-
ship.
Crime Five Years Ago
It is five years ago that the plotted
assaaslnallnn of the Austrian arch-
duke Francis Ferdinand furnished the
excuse Germany sought for starting
the world conflict. Sarajevo's tragedy
has made the grent central empires
auppllnnts.
The situation In Versailles Is the
fulfilment of the greatest drama In
modern history. Gathered around the
historic hall were the representatives
of every great nation In the world.
Only smaller neutral nations were
missing.
The grant horseshoe-shaped table
hsld the representative* of every pow-
er which banded together to stamp
out militarism aad absolutism from
tb* earth.
In the center of the great horse-
shoe eat Clemenceau, the French pre-
mier. At hi* right sat President Wil-
son. On his left was Lloyd Oeorge,
the British prime minister.
Across tha room aad Just ia front of
tha section reserved for the guests
the German delegates were seated.
The contrast waa very sharp. Tha
old Prussian arrogance was not re-
vealed by the members of the German
cabinet, who bad assumed the duty of
salvaging what was left of their
country.
How Envoys Were Bested
The seating arrangement of the del-
egates were aa follows:
Oa Prealdent Wilson'a side of ths
table: Secretary Lansing, Colonel
House, Henry White, Oeneral Bliss
and after them the French. Italian,
Belgian and Greek delegates. Swing-
ing around the horseshoe were the
Polish, Portuguese, Rumanian, Csecb-
Slovakia, Siamese, Cuban and Chin-
ese delegates. At the left of Premier
Lloyd Goorge were the other repre-
sentatives of Britain and her domin-
ions and tha Japanese.
Swinging around tb* corner were
the representatives of Germany, Bra-
sil, Bolivia, Uruguay, Peru, Panama,
Nicaraugua, 'Liberia, Honduras, Hayit,
Guatemala and Ecuador.
Marshal Foch was seated among tb*
French delegates. He was not a
peace plenipotentiary and did not
sign the great document
Of the Italian delegation only thre*
were present—Baron Bonnlno, M. Im-
periall and Crespl. The others bad
not arrived at a lata hour.
Paris was onfete for the occasion.
A holiday was proclaimed through-
out. From every building hung the
flags of the allied nations. Thou-
sands of persons in holiday attire
gathered along the roads leading to
VorsslUos. Th* streets, as usual were
heavily guarded by troops. Through
packed lanes of humanity the delega.
tions passed, one by one, their motors
flaunting the flags of practically all
nations except those which made up
the central powers, and tba few neu-
trals not represented.
The arrival of each delegation was
heralded by a trumpeter. After being
saluted the members were taken in
charge by attendants and conducted
to tba places assigned for them.
Impressive Been*
The scene during the signing of the
treaty was most impressive. The ma-
jority of those present were plainly
nervous.
Premier Clemenceau sat deep In
hla chair, half scowling as he swept
the room with glances from beneath
his bushy eyebrows. It anything he
aeemed tinier than ever. His hands
were encased in th* Inevitable white
gloves.
Italians Nervous
The Italians ware plainly nervous.
Ths Japanese, on the other hand,
were unperturbed and placidly gased
at the beauties of the room, outward-
ly unconcerned over the momentous
happenings.
There were troops everywhere,
lending a picturesque touch of coloF
to the scene.
Mrs. Wilson, wife of the president,
occupied a prominent seat in the front
row of spectator*. She was attended
by Admiral Grayson,' the president’s
physician.
The Oerman delegates presented a
contrast in appearances. Dr. Mueller
plainly showed that he had been la-
boring under a great strain and had
a drawn appearance. Dr. Bell, on the
other hand, wws plainly pleased that
he had been selected as one of the
German delegates to sign the treaty.
He took n keen Interest In nil that
went on,
The skies, which had been overcast,
started to clear as the proceedings
opened. The strains of music could
be fnlntly heard as Dr. Mueller
signed the treaty. Bnnds were massed
In the distance and the strains came
through open windows.
NEW LAWS ARE IN FORCE
Novt-emergeney Measures ef Laat Bes-
sons Become Effective.
The ainety-day limit ran out laat
week on the filing of the referendum
petIUons for submission of tb* ques-
tion of th* repeal of the automobile
license tax law and the amendments
made by the last legislature to the
workman's compensation law.
All non-emergency acts, including
the two on which incompleted peti-
tions bars been filed hare become
effective. The petitions bearing the
required number of signatures on th*
anto tax waa filed, but th* oa* on the
compensation law was not. Operation
of the auto law is to be automatically
suspended uotli voted upon by the peo-
ple et the next general election.
Of the non-emergency acts which
have become effective the blue sky
law, the home ownership law and the
amended workman's compensation law
era perhaps of th* most general Im-
portance. Majority of the other new
lawa are appropriation bills, making
available funds for the maintenance
of the several state departments and
institutions during the next fiscal year
and local bills affecting conditions in
certain localities.
Laws prohibiting desecration of the
flng, barring th* teaching of foreign
languages below the eighth grade In
the public schools nnd prohibltlfig
fraudulent statements In advertise-
ments are among the new ones.
A commission composed of tb* gov
ornor, secretary of state and the atnte
bank commissioner constitute the
board which Is to adminlstsr the blue
■ky law, designed to protect the pub-
lic from investment In worthless secur-
ities known as the buying of bine sky.
They constitute what la known as the
securities commission, charged with
the responsibility nnd duty of passing
upon the merits of stock offered for
■ale in Oklahoma.
The home ownership law will be
administered by the commissioners of
the land office. The bill carries an
appropriation of 9260,000 and in addi-
tion all of the money accruing from
the express rate refunds, now undis-
tributed and In the hands of the cor-
poration commission will be turned in
to this fund.
Several hundred applications for
loans from the fund are already on
hand, It was said by Secretary A. S. J.
Shaw of the commissioners of the
land office. Th* applications will be
considered In the order In which they
are received, It was stated.

Chlckasha.—The proceedings In
the disbarment hearing before Paul

en other men and that this combina-
tion paid Simpson 9250 a month and,
Hodge Bailey, sheriff 9150 a month
out of the general house funds t4r

Simpson or Bailey but that arrsngs-
ment was made with others of tb#

soloier who Left
WIFE AT HOME GOT
ANOTHER OVERSEAS
Mangum.—When W. B. Davie,
a Frederick soldier, sailed for
overseas aervice he left a wife
and two children at home, but,
determined not to run the risk
of being without a spouse jipon
bis return, he brought another
with him from Liverpool, Eng-
land, according to Tillman
county officers who came here to
get Davis, after he had been ar-
rested by local police on a charge
of bigamy.
Davis and wife No. 2, who
was Luelllsn Johnson before she
left home, returned to Frederick
several days ago. They stopped
at a hotel until Davta could visit
his home. When accused by
Mrs. Davis of having a second
wife, Davis denied having mar-
ried the English girl but Mrs.
Davis called at the hotel, where-
upon wife No. 2 is said to hav*
produced a marriage license.
Davis fled, leaving the English
girl at his home in Frederick.
Mrs. Davis accompanied th*
sheriff hors to recover her hus-
band.
MAYOR CLINGS TO HIS JOB

terested cttlsena In the appealed man-
damus proceedings forcing him to call

change until th* pending litigation in
decided on Its merits.
STATEHOUSE BREVITIES
Hem* Ownership Law Held Up.
The home ownership law, a product
of the last legislature, waa given a
severe Jolt when Attorney General
Freeling, in an opinion to the com-
missioners of the land office, held
that the |260,000 appropriated for uS#
in the administration of the law doe*
not become available until next July.
This leaves only the amount that
will escheat to the credit of the state,
from the long-standing express rate
refunds, as capital with which th*
commissioners may work during th*
next twelve months.
The law provided for the creeatioa
of a fund to be known as the "horn*
loan fund" from the proceeds from
the express refunds and a special ap-
propriation of 9250,000 from the gen-
eml levenue fund.
The section making the dlrert ap>
prop. I at Ion says the money Is to b*
available for use during the “1920-21"
fiscal year. Whether this Is an
Oi l or or whether It was the Intention
of the legislature to make the money
available this years Is not known.
Already there are nearly 1,000 ap-
plication? on file for loans from the
fund and extensive plans have been
made bv the commiBslnnere for loan-
ing the money. As ,lt stands, under
Ihe attorney general’s ruling, ther*
is only approximately 9247.000 avail-
able for next year.
Upon tha reoommendatlon of au-
meroUs prominent officials and cltl-
sens In Iklahoma and Tulsa counties.
