SUBSCRIPTIONS
Tfl BONDS STIL
BEING HEGEHED
JLLTMUGH CITY AXD COUNTY
ARE 4VER TOP BONDS ARE
STILL BEING BOUGHT.
Despite !the fact that both .the city
and county are well' over the too"'
-with their quotas of Victory bonds as
a. result or the $56400 subscribed at
the mass meeting Friday afternoon
the soliciting committees were still
busy today and the bond purchasers
were still loosening up with' their
cash according to reports from the
headquarters of the loan campaign or-
gaslzation. The total amount of sub-
scriptions "will not be made known for
two or three days due to the necessity
of carefully rechecking the subscrip-
tion lists to avoid duplication of re-
ports. However an unofficial sum-
mary of the subscriptions show that
the quotas have bee nexceeded in 'a
manner which is very gratifying to
the campaign leaders.
The reports reaching here today
from over the state indicate that there
lias been a great renewal of activity
everywhere yesterday and today al
though it is expected that many towns
- and cities will fail to subscribe their
quotas. This fact while deplorable
gives the people of Brownwood and
Brown county cause to rejoice thai
tfeev have done their full duty "and
then some' by subscribing every doi
lar that the government wanted from
tliis community.
Many oE the subscriptions given at
the mass meeting yesterday repre-
sented increases over former sub-
scriptions. These were given in re-
sponse to an appeal to everybody to
buy more bonds if possible and some
of the increases were noteworthy
particularly 'those of each of the four
haaks which had already subscribed
5$2fl.W)0 ich. Most of the physicians of
the city 4also announced increased
subscriptions.

DANEL BAKER'S NEW PRESIDENT
TO ARRIVE NEXT WEEK; COLLEGE
HAS VERY PROMISING PROSPECTS
The" Board of Trustees of Daniel
Baker college after- several sessions
held during the week last night tele-
graphed Dr. French "W Thompson of
Louisville; Ky. announcing that all
conditions imposed by him in his con-
sideration of the presidency of tlie
college had -been met and that ho
would bo expected here at once to take
charge of the institution. A response
signified that the position had been
'accepted and that Dr. Thompson would
tench Brownwood some time next
week probably about the fifteenth.
The conditions imposed by Dr.
Thompson. were that before he would
accept the presidency of the college
a guarantee must be given for the
maintenance of the 'school throughout
next year; A hurried canvass of tlie
friends of the college in Brownwood
resulted in the guarantee being given
and the trustees then took up with
Wm. Poindexter administrator of the
estate of . the late Mrs. Mattie R. Cog-
gin the. matter of securing a portion
of the estate's funds which were be-'
queathed to the college for the pur-
pose of establishing the new depart
ment of Domestic Science. Judge
Poindexter lias agreed that sufficient
funds for the establishment of the new
department will be made available for
the opening of the next annual ses-
sion in Septeniheiv So that tlie fiisan-
j ciaV affairs of the college have now
been satisfactorily arranged on a cash
basis. s

(By Associated Press)
PARIS May 10. President Wilson
expressed the belief today that noth-
ing would be heard irom the Germak
plenipotentiaries for about a weelc
Neither he nor the other members of "
the American delegation had heard
anything regarding the published re-
port that the German delegates are
departing from Versailles or contem-
plating such a move.
The German plenipotentiaries are at
perfect liberty to return to Berlin and"
.consult their government if they deV
sire it is reported in conference . cir-
cles. Such a move if made would
not mean the breaking off of negoti-
ations. Unannounced Provisions.

lic eontiios a provisioa that German
Austria's separation from Geraaajr
shall be inalienable unless approyed
by the Council of the League of Na-
tions The use of the word ialksa- -ble

; .Thefinajicial clauses of .tltetMcttjr
between the allied and associated ar-
ernments and Germany conthsH to h
the most discussed sections of the doc-
ument and are almost universally con-
demned by the commentators for not
making Germany responsible for the
repayment of the entire cost of the
war and for leaving France i with a
burden placed at one hundaed and
seventy-two billion francs.
The German cabinet council has de-
cided upon the wording of a note
which Germany will present without
delay to the allies according to. a
Zurich dispatch. The note it is 'add-
ed may be made public today.
