“Dixie Land. ” Once intended for
South Only, Now Song of Nations
Saturday marked the close of National Music Week, which has been ob
served in all publie schools and by the public generally throughout the country
during the week just ended .
During the last week, The Light has published a number of songs which
it is hoped San, Antonians, young and old alike, have learned-and sung.
As the concluding song of this aeries, "Dixie Land" has been chosen. Ore-
inally written as a sectional sir, it literally stirs the blood of every Ataeri
I can when played from Atlantic to Pacific, or from Great Lakes to the Gulf 1
But undeniably the greatest love for It remains south of the Mason-Dixie |
line. Grizzled, gray haired Southern veterans give voice to an inevitable
shout when bands play it, younger generations feel a touch of something
akin to the real old South when it resounds, and all hold it, with the national
anthem, dearest of all such songs.

Washington, D. C., Feb. 25.—Lead
era of the Congress who were instru-
mental in the passage of the allied
debt refunding bill, are not sanguine .
that the debt commission, headed by
Secretary Mellon, will meet with any
great success in forcing upon the
allies the terms laid down in the new
The action of Congress in passing 1
a law requiring that the debts be
paid within a period of 25 yeara and
that the rate of interest be not less
than 4 1-4 per cent, is, in the 1 -t
analysis, but an expression of Ameri-
can sentiment. There is no way in
which payment can be forced and no 1
real disposition on the part of Con-
gress to make such a move.
To Consult With Europe.
The debt commission will consult
with the nations of Europe and see
what they can offer in the way of
payments.
One of the greatest difficulties with
the foreign debt is that the interest
at the existing rate of 5 per cent is
accumulating so rapidly that most of
the European allies are staggered at
the size cf the interest obligations
alone. Some of the Congress leaders
feel that by continuing to charge in-
terest at the rate of 4 1-4 per cent
this phase of the situation will not be
materially relieved. England is about
to undertake a start on semi-annual
payment of the interest charges as-
sessed against her, although there are
many Englishmen who believe the
United States is something of a prof-
iteer in insisting upon the 5 per cent
rate on money which the American
government borrowed from its people
at a rate of interest which began as
low as 3 1-2 per cent and did not go
above 4 1-4.
It is even suggested that some of
the allies will ask that they be cred-
ited with a rebate eu accumulated in-
terest charges in keeping with the sums
the United States actually had to pay
, for the money transferred to the
allies.
English Are Silent.
While the British people are main-
taining a discret silence, there is no
doubt that in the other countries of
Europe, there has been profound dis-
appointment that Congress at this time
should send out notice that payments
will be expected shortly to begin.
The French already are comparing
the attitude of the United States 1 th
that of England which as yet has made
no move to collect her advance to the
allies before the United States came
into the war.
France now is protesting that she
fully intends to pay the United States
her debt—some day. She does not
know when that day will come, but
p she believes she will find the means
to satisfy everybody. England, most
a solvent of the allies, in making her
plans to meet semi-annual charges,
says nothing as to when she can begin
paying on the principal on her more
than four billion dollar loan.
Financiers believe that one of the
first results of the negotiations to be
undertaken by the allied debt commis-
sion will be a recommendation for ma-
terial lowering of the interest charges
to be made by the United States.
, Countries like Serbia, Roumania,
t Czechoslovakia and other of the lesser
allies, who admittedly are not in a
position to pay interest charges alone,
will be fairly swamped with those
charges for all time to come if the
4 1-4 per cent is insisted upon.
Question France's Army.
As to France the question i often
asked why it Is she can main-
tain an immense standing army and
still be unable to pay anything on her
debts. Frenchmen give a simple en-
I wish I was in the land ob cotton,

But when he put his arm around 'er.

His face was sharp as a butcher's cleaver,

And all de gals dat want to kisa us:
Look away! Look away! Look a yl Dixie Land.
But if you want to drive ’way sorrow,

berim, Feb. 26.—Conditions ill Bol-
shevist Russia are more terrible today
than they have ever been.
Nine-tenths of the non-Bolshevist in-
tellectuals have been exterminated. Not
twenty but forty millions of human be-
ings are threatened with death by star-
vation. ,
Cannibalism Is a daily occurrence in
the districts where the famine ia most
severe. Formerly the pretext that hu-
man flesh was being used only to feed
the dogs was resorted to, but now all
pretexts have been abandoned. Pieces
are being cut from dead bodice and
roasted for food. ..
Children daily are being slain, their
flesh stripped from their bodies and
their carcasses thrown into the river.
An industrial director who fled from
the famine area, tells me that with bis
watch in hand, he saw 23 bodies of chil-
dred float past in five minutes. He
says that the voice of a child is sel-
dom heard in the district now. Thirty-
six millions of souls, on the verge ot
starvation are returning to cannibal-
ism." •
Ruined Beyond Precedent.
The apocalyptic prophecy of mothers
eating their own children is to be ful-
filled a thousand fold amid the rich-
est markets and resources in all the
world.
Conscience self-interest and human-
ity and profit call with unanimous voice
to those who hold the world’s fate in
their handa. Russia is in the black-
ness of a night of most terrible hor-
which was even more cruel than that
of Versailles.
Then after defeat in the west at the
hands of the allies, instead of seeking an
honest understanding with the young
giant, Russia, then capable of quick re-
covery, Germany behaved like • lonely
orphan and cut herself off. /
Later efforts to open trade with Rus-
sia proved futile because Moscow de-
spised our Social Democrats on account
of their behavior during and after the
Turned Against Bolshevists.
So, although Germany was not a fer-
tile field for Bolshevism, because of the
unbroken strength of the bourgeoisie
and the fondness of the workers for or-
der, the government pretender! that the
greatest dangers threatened and closed
every gap in the frontier, while allow-
ing 150,000 czarist sympathizers to set-
tie comfortably in Berlin where apart-
ments were so scarce they had to buy
boarding houses with Swiss and French
money.
Simultaneously the government was
hunting Bolshevist sympathizers like
they were fever bacilli. Of course, Len-
ines supporters had secret nests here
and brought money and jewels secretly
into the country. But this did not help
lawful trade relations.

Supplies.
Medicine, hospital material, chemi-
cals, instruments and bandages approxi-
mating $16,000 in value have been
turned over to the American Relief Ad-
ministration for use in Russia from the
army surplus stocks here, through the
agency of the budget bureau, according
to Maj. Donald A. Robinson, co-ordina-
tor for the Eighth Corps Area. The
goods were transferred last week and
will soon be on their way to relieve
suffering in Russia and Siberia.
A transfer of $296,000 worth of med-
whereas the United States sacrificed]
in battle not more than 50,000. The
battle deaths of the American army
were less even than those of Bul-
garia, Rumania, Belgium and Serbia.
For the time the American armies
actually were fighting their losses were
greater than any of the rest, but the
allies argue that America was spared
three whole years of the war
Shipments Are Expensive.
Finally, the allies will argue that
much of the money received from
America was spent in carrying on war
against Germany while America was
getting ready after she had declared
war. . .
The American commission if it be
disposed to argue with the allies, un-
quesionably will reply by asking why
it was that if all the allies and Amer-
ica were fighting a common cause, in
which all debts should be pooled or
cancelled. Great Britain should bare
charged the United States for trans
porting her soldiers overseas to fight
alongside the French and British.
Why was it that France, in similar
circumstances, felt called upon to tile
claims for damages against the Ameri-
can army, during its stay in France
amounting to nearly a billion of dol-
lars? Why should she also have filed
enormous claims for damages against I
the British army which came so
quickly to France’s assistance?
Here you have but a few of the
complexities and intricacies of a
question which will be a long, long
time in settlement.

And what can be done?
The reconstruction of this land, ruin-
cd beyond precedent, but intrinsically
rich, is all humanity’s task to under-
take. It is a task which calls for an
swordless crusade and it demands
urgently special conference from Eu-
rope's intrigues. Genoa will not do.
There is but one place for this con-
ference— Washington. The stars ot
America's flag could and can shine no-
where more brightly than in Russia.

of Germany’s Russian policy are more
inscruitable than those of Providence.
German Diplomacy Blundered.
What Bismarck’s visionary genius
never forget, namely, that Germany
needs a strong, friendly Russia, not de-
pendent politically on Western Europe,
nor economically on over-seas raw
stuffs, was obliterated when the second
Wilhelm dismissed the Iron Chancellor
Now everybody is courting the Bol-
shevists because the government does
not fear longer Independent Socialist or
Communist opposition.
England and France sems to be vying
for Moscow's trade. They do thia be-
cause they do not know the real Rua-
sian conditions. There is the direst mis-
ery even in the districts where the
crops did not fail. The ration con-
sists of half a pound of scarcely edible .
food every two days and one herring
weekly. All cattie and fowl have died
or been killed. Mines have been inun-
dated in Donetz basin, the richest coal
region. Sea water floods the Baku oil
paradise.
It is virtually impossible anywhere
to prepare the land for the next bar-
vest. In most of the districts pro-
duction has been but one-fifth of the
like a footman.
The treaty of assurance with Rus-
sia, so useful to Germany and world
peace, was act renewed in 1800 because
the czar disapproved of Wilhelm's ef-
feminate vanity. Folly’s summit was
reached when, to bring the decadent
but older and superior Hapsburg dynas-

zollerns, A astro-Hungary was encour-
aged to war on Russia, though if the
war had been successful it would have
resulted in an impossible Berlin khali-
fate and dealt imperial Germany a se-
vere blow.
But, ns in Napoleon’s time, immense
Russia proved invulnerable. So our
rulers imported Bolshevism into Rus-
sia and forced the Brest-Litovsk peace
ical supplies was turned over to the
United States public health service at
the same time. Major Robinson said, for
use in their work, including the care
of thousands of ex soldiers.
The material to be forwarded to Rus-
sia has been on hand in the warehouse
group at Fort Sam Houston since the
It was recently declared surplus and
when the matter came before the budget
bureau it was found that the relief ad-
ministration was in need of much ma-
terial so the change was made netting
both governmental agencies a saving.
The property turned Over the public
health service is being shipped to vari-
ous storehouses and hospitals over the
country. It consists of a large number
of steel cots, drugs, chemicals and re-
agents. The property will be used in
the different activities of the service.
It ia estimated that the cost of the
goods turned over to the public health
service if bought in the open market
would have been $300,000. Had the
army been forced to sell the property at
an auction it would have gone at a
loss of approximately 40 per cent or
about $180,000. Therefore, a saving to
the government of about $120,000 was
made in the transaction.
Other plans for saving are being
worked up by the budget bureau on
the transfer of property and through
other means of economy and it is ex-
pected that the report of savings for
the second quarter of the budget will
equal that of the first.
Bureau Has Served Millions.
In the first three months in which
the bureau operated here a saving of
$306,000 was made. However, the op-
portunity to make large savings here ia
not present as in the East where im-
mense quantities of war materials are
atill in storage, which can be turned
over to other departments for use in
the East. . ...
During the first six months of the
operation of the bureau In the entire
country an actual saving of $32,000,000
was made, according to a report made
by Charles G. Dawes, director of the
budget, at the conference held in Wash-
ington recently. Indirect savings dur
ing the same period are: said to be
$104,000,000 in a period of four months.

TO GIVE SMALL PLANTS
Distribution of Trees Creates Intereat
Throughout Country.
Distribution of rose bushes, plants
and bulbs will be resumed at 9 o’clock
Monday morning at the stands in front
of the Alamo, provided it is not raining
at the time, Mrs. Amos Graves said
Saturday night.
Monday will be the final day for the
distribution and exchange of plants
under the auspices of the Civic League.
Thousands of ligustrum and crepe
myrtle trees have been distributed dur-
ing the time that the Civic League has
been engaged in the work.
Due to the fact that the demand of
the public has exhausted the supply of
crepe myrtle trees the public schools
will not be able to obtain any. In-
stead of crepe myrtle trees being given
to the schools arrangements have been
made to supply them with small plants,
pansies, caunas, daisies, chrysanthe-
mums and various kinds of bulbs.
The tree distribution started here
last week has aroused interest through-
out the country as evidenced by a let-
ter received by Mrs. Graves, president
of the San Antonio-Bexar County Civic
League, under whose direction the work
was done. This letter, from the secre-
tary of the American Forestry Assoria-
tion at Washington, congratulates Hao
Antonio on stimulating interest in tree
planting by this method. A similar
campaign, the letter states ia being
conducted throughout the country to
encourage the planting of trees.

Houston, Tex., Feb. 25.—On the era

term, with probably the heaviest crimin-
al business in history, officials have die-
covered that a large number of liquor
cases are in danger because of search
warrants having been improperly drawn.
On approximately 100 liquor cases

torney will dismiss about ten on account

held that warrants to be valid must be

Russia May Drag Europe Down.
Ilespite all this the Soviet govern-
ment still has billions of rubles abroad.
It has thrown diamonds on the Berlin
market from churches, convents and pri-
vate owners, until the Rand mines have
a poor sale and the Amsterdam gem-
cutters are without work.
But shall the Soviet government,
whose empire has returned to a far
greater barbarity than ever was known
under Peter the Great and Catherine,
whose weakened and bewildered masses
endured it only as a punishment from
God; shall this government daily boast
that it has held out for over four yeara
and by clever intrigues in every Euro-
pean capital prevent Genoa from being
as resultful as Washington.
Bolsheviki ministers and mission-
aries, imprisoned and even shackled in
1919 are now flattered by government
ministers and big industrialists in the
smarter salons.
Russia, which hears only the voice of
the Bolshevist, will be told that she has
the most admired government in the
world and will slip further into the
abyss with a few hundred European mil-
lions following.

They any they are paying their army
with paper money. If the United
States would accept payment of
France’s debt in that same paper
money—nothing could be sweeter or
easier. But the United States insists
upon gold and as most of the gold in
the world is already in the United
States, the problem becomes a prob-
lem indeed.
The more the problem is studied the
more intricate it seems. In the first
place the American debt commission
and the American people will be called
upon to understand the attitude of the
allied governments regarding their in-
debtedness to this country.
Money Spent in America.
The allies will point out for instance
that during the period in which we
loaned something more than nine
. lots v* donara to them, they spent
" in this country wore than thirteen
billions of dollars. The latter sum
does not by any means represent the
total spent by the allies in America
during the war. They spent here
billions before we entered the war
•nd before the government was in a
position to extend official credits.
The loans of nine billions of dollars
made to the allies did not represent
an outflow of nine billions in gold
from this country as many suppore.
The money was spent here and n h
of it went to making of hundreds of
new American millionaires created dur-
ing the war period. Much of it found
its way back into the American treas.
ury in income and excess profits taxes,
more of it went to profiteers.
The debt commission will bear from
all of the allies the further argument
