ENTENTE REPLY TO WILSON
UNDERGOING CHANGES
London-Reutor's Telegram Com.
pany publishes the following concern
lng the reply of the Entenite Allies to
President Wilson's recent note sug
gesting that the belligerents state
their terms of peace: "The document
is still undergoing slight modifleation
of the diraft and will not be published
until a day or two after It Is in the
hands of the president. The note will
be more positive titan the reply to Ger
many and is expected to indicate 'in
more precise fashion the only prelimi
naries upon which the Allies are pre
pared to negotiate. On again going
over the grounid of tihe responsIbIlIty
for the war it is likely that the Allies
will emphasize the only possible terms
for peace, thus contrasting sharply the
German note, which purposely was of
a negative character."

U. S. TO DETERMINE
HIGH PAPER COSTS
ATTORNEY GENERAY GREGORY
WILL BEGIN INQUIRY AS TO
WHETHER THERE IS TRUST.
CIVIL AND CRIMINAL ACTION
For Several Weeks Department of Jus.
tice Has Been In Frequent Consulta
tion With the Trade Commission.
A Mass of Complaints.
Washington. - Attorney General
Gregory took over the yield of the
Federal Trade Commission's inquiry
into the print paper market with a
view to determining whether there Is
a paper trust, and to institute civil
and criminal proceedings against
manufacturers or others who - may
have violated the anti-trust. laws.
President Wilson is actively inter
ested in recent disclosures of prac
tices pursued in the production and
distribution of print paper and is un.
derstood to be following the inquiry
closely. A mass of complaints and
testimony and a large number of sec
ret ieports from the commission's in
vestigators have been placed in the
Attorney General's hands.
For several weeks department of
justice officials have been in frequent
consultation with the trade commis
sion and are understood to have un
der serious consideration the early in
stitution of grand jury proceedings at
which indictments charging violation
of the criminal section of the law will
be asked.
The formal taking over of the in
quiry by the department was in re
sponse to the following leter sent the
Attorney General by Secretary Brack
en, of the commission.
"As you know the Federal Trade
Commission pursuant to resolutions
of the Senate have been conducting
an inquiry into conditions of the
print paper market.
"The commission is of the opinion
that the inquiry has now reached a
stage where the further co-operation
of the Department of Justice would
be advantageous."
The Attorney General replied:
"The department will at once take
up the matter, and to that -end I
wil have attorneys -of the department
me.et with the commission or with
attorneys of the commission, as may
he desired, and go over the data al
ready collected as a basis for deter.
- mining what further steps to take.
"I know, of course, from what has
already been brought out, that a se.
rious condition exists in this trade,
and that any remedy which the law
may afford should be applied at once."

COVERING MANY MATTERS
Would Wipe Out Adult liliteracy in
Three Years.-Finances and Ap
propriatIons.
Columbia.--One-fourth of the pr.pu.
lation of South Carolina, 451,766, arn
enrolled in the public schools, accord'
Ing to the annual report of John o.
Swearingen. state superintendent of
education. Of this number 196.067 were
white and 219,699 negroes. This was
an increase of 42.925 over the enroil.
nient of the Preceling year, 15,751 he
ing whites and 27.174 negroes. This
was the largest enrollment in the his
tory of the state. Addiug the number
attending private, denominational and
parochial schools would bring the
total enrollment for the year to 450,.
000.
The local option compulsory Achool
attendance law is responsible, says
the report, for part of the increase in
the attendance. This law is in opera
tion in 187 districts, barely one-tenth
of the school districts of the state.
"but its moral effects are state wide."
says Mr. Swearingen. The white
schools reported an average attend.
ance of 68 per cent and the negroes
57. He recommends the strengthen
ing of the compulsory attendance law
and making it state wide.
There was a total income of money
for the public schools of $4,261,101.18
from all sources, one-fifth of it arising
from the three mill constitutional tax.
There is a large variation in the
amounts of money spent in the various
counties, but the average for the
whites was $17.02 and for the negroes
$1.90 per capita. The report urger
that some minimums should be fixed
by the state, because some districts
are unable to spend as much as oth
ers, and certainly a minimum ought
to be guaranteed by the state, which
would require funds from the state
treasury.
The state appropriation for public
schools at the last session of the leg
islature aggregated $303,500 for ten
items, equal to a one-mill tax on all
property. Mention is made of the
growth of the rural graded schools.
there being 562 last year, an increase
of 40 per cent. The state superin
tendent tells of the beneficial results
of the state aid for needy schools. le
suggests that either the requirements
of the rural graded school law must
be raised or the appropriait ion be madf
adequate; lie says that $175,000 will
be needed for this work.
In speaking of the high schod3. the
state superintendent recommends that
Iall I nit ion fees, matriculation fees and
ot hers be0 ah~olished.
Of the state aid the report suggests
hat aid he refused to (list ricts refnis,
ing to v'ote a loual tax. The average
Ischoo0l last year was 137 day's and the
state superintendent is pleading for a
minimum of seven months and says it
should he nine. Dunring the last year
180 new school buildings were ercetedh
and continuation of the building ap
propriation from the state is strongly
recommendled.
An illiteracy table is appended
showing that in 27 counties, out of a
total enrollment of 102,256 for the
primaries, 19,115 made their mark op
posite their names on the enrollment
books, an illiterate Percentage of 18.7
Chesterfield wvith 23.2 led the illi'
eracy column with Bleaufort the ieae
illiterate, 4.6. Greenville reported an
illiteracy of 21.8, and Spartanburg of
24.9. No reports were reecived from
Charleston, Anderson and Richland
counties.
There were 2,483 white schools in
the state last year and 5,281 white
teachers were employed. The on.
teacher school is on the decline and is
giving place to the two teacher and
three teacher schools. 'During the
year 72 districts expended $29,092.36
for the transportation of 1,615 pupils
to and from school, using 119 vehicles.
Big Hespital For Greenville.
Greenville.--The city of Greenyille
will purchase the hospital owned by
the Greenville Hospital association for
approximately $40,000, according to the

LIberal Support For State Guard.
W. W. Moore, adjutant general, will

needs of the National Guard of South
Carolina. In addition $16,000 will be
asked for the support of the Third
regiment to be formed this year under
the terms of the national defense act.
The adjutant general estimates that
$15,000 additional will be necessary for
improvements -at the state c'amp
