BRITAIN HAS PLAN
 TO END ALL WARS

London, Nov. 2-(By MaiD D.- Special to The Press. "A United States of the World" is the idea of professor Sidney Webb, we'll known British political economist, to end wars. The diminution of war in the world is due to the di- minunition of the number of states in the world, he argues, pointing out that time has steadily cut down the number of these and conse- quently there has been less fight ing.
 In the 18th century there were hundreds of separate states in Eu- rope and always war among some of them. He adds:
 To-day the total number of gov ernments of the world that can make war is 46, 21 of which are on the continent of America. If you can imagine such a condition as the whole world under one gov efHmeHl, tHe UHlteu otdteS or the World, with any amount of local autonomy, you will find war brought to an end There might be riots necessitating police interfer- ence, but there would be no more war;
 Professor Webb figures that war is controlled by the eight great powers Britain, Germany, France, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Italy, United States and Japan. These powers compose three-quarters of the worlds population and dispose of seven-eighths of, it's armed force, he says.

LODGE OF SORROW
 HELD BY THE ELKS
(From Mondays Daily Press)


 The audience that taxed the ca pacity of the Majestic Theatre yes- terday afternoon witnessed the beautiful and impressive ceremo- nies of the lodge of sorrow held by the Elks in memory of the depart ed members of the lodge.
 The stage was artistically deco rated with the national colors and with the emblems of the order, and was occupied by the officers of the lodge who conducted the solemn ritual work incident to the open ing and closing of the lodge.
 A splendid musical program be- ginning with Chopin's Funeral March by Miss Anna B. Donaldson, followed by male quartet in "One Sweetly Solemn Thought" a solo, Ave Maria" by Miss Anne Sted- man with violin obligato accompan iment by MT. Alton and conclud- ing with a quintet, "The Home land," by Miss Stedman, Miss Ran dolph, Mrs. Lynons. MT. Hunter and MT. Stedman, was excellently rem dered. Mrs. Alfred H. Burr gave two splendid readings, There Is No Death" and Little Boy Blue. "
 The memorial address was deliv- cred by Hon. Ed l.. Westbrooke, member of the Jonesboro lodge. It was one of the finest addresses ever delivered in Paragould on an occa- sion of this kind. MT. Westbrooke discussed at length the hope of inn mortality implanted in the human breast and reviewed briefly the re- ligions and aspirations of ancient races, beginning with the Egyptians more than five thousand years be- fore Christ, showing how in all the ages and under all conditions man had at least some faint idea of an existence after death. His address was punctuated with appropriate quotations and beautiful sentiments

 In this issue appears the formal of Chris Shane as a candidate for the democratic nom- ination for tax collector of Greene county. MT. Shane needs no extend ed introduction to the voters. He came to Greene county when he was four years old and has resided here since that time. He is an honest, industrious citizen, good clerical man, has had wide experience in of flee work, has assisted in the col lection of taxes and in the keeping of public records and is thoroughly familiar with all the details of the office he seeks. Four years ago he ran for the office and was de- feated by only 142 votes. There were four in the race and he lead his nearest opponent by POS votes and his third opponent by 4OS votes. He carried both wards in the city of Paragould. After that race he went to the farm and since that time has been tilling the soil. It was generally understood four years ago that Mir. Shane would be a candidate at this time and his friends who supported him in his former race have assured him they will stand by him this time.

MIDDLETON MAY
 SEEK PREPARING
(From Mondays Daily Press)

(FrOm Mondays Daily PreSS)
 Mayor w. c. Middleton will not surrender his office to J. T. Hester, the successful contestant, tonight, as had generally been supposed. He stated to a reporter for The Press turned over to Attorney R. P. Tay- Tor, that MT. Taylor had written for a copy of the judgment of the supreme court in acting favorably upon Hesters motion to dismiss the appeal for failure to comply with Rule g of the supreme court, and that after the judgment of the court had been received here and examined by his attorney it was probable a petition for a rehearing would be filed with the court.
 The appeal was dismissed on Monday, Nov. 29. Under the usual rules fifteen days are allowed to file petition for a rehearing. If the judgment of the court is such that the case can be re-opened upon a motion to rehear such motion will be filed. MT. Middleton said he had been advised by his attorney the fifeen-day limit would not ex- pire until on Thursday of next week, and it is his intention to con- tinue in office until the time limit allowed by the court or until his attorney decides on the question of filing a motion for rehearing.
 Mayor Middleton says he wants a trial of the contest upon its mer- it's. He is anxious to secure re- versal so the matter can be thor ough1y threshed out in circuit court. If, after he has presented to the court all the evidence he has, it is determined he was not le- gally elected, he says he will cheer fully retire If the decision is oth- erwise, he of course expects to keep the office.
