gagged in furnishing all kinds of war

Ing SO at reasonable, prices. If this
were the case, the only question to be
considered would be whether it is ad-
visable to leave. in the hands of pri-
vate corporations government work OF
this character, with the inevitable
tendency, which they would have to
maintain Hobbies and seek to influence
public opinion in. favor Of large ex-
penditures for military Preparation in
order to increase their own profits
But when. in addition to this it is
found that these firms are continually

In his annual report for the fiscal
year. ending 1914; just submitted to
the president, Secretary Daniels has
reviewed his efforts to secure a gov-
ernment-owned armor-plate factory;

I In the same report discussing the
advisability Of a government armor-

Ut that time, that without an armor

that the patriotism Of these companies

accept the price fixed by congress af-

declined to manufacture any armor

chairman of the organization. The
views of A. T. McCurdie, r. r. Bon
slageI, Floyd E. ellis, Frank Montgom-
cry and a number of others, were ex-
pressed A committee consisting of
Mr.. Crane, Mr.. Bonslagel, and Mr.. Nc
Curdie was appointed to call upon the
business men of Hattiesburg and ascer-
tain what support may be expected OF
them, once the league gets down to
work. 1t is purposed having at least
| three teams, one from the railroad and
transportation companies, one from
the lumber companies, and the third
from the banks and the uptown Sec
tons of Hattiesburg. This committee
will canvass the districts allotted to
them, and ascertain what men will af
filiate themselves with the league, spe-
styling the club, and how much sup
port the business men will give the
movement 1t was explained that the
employers must give their support to
the proposition, or else first class
set of teams will be impossible.
Floyd E. ellis, Thomas st. John,
and R. R. Bonslagel were placed upon
committee to select three Hatties
burg business men who will take an &C.
tive interest in the work, as president,
vice president, and manager of the
league. They will make their report
Friday evening.
McCurdie, Crane and Bonslagel also
were directed to confer with the men
who probably will constitute the three
teams, and from that number select a
committee to draft set of bylaws by
which the league will be governed
These will be submitted at the next
meeting.

In the negro sections, as much, if not
more, activity is being shown. The
negro residents have joined the
movement with heart and soul, and by
shutdown today it is expected that the
greater part of the trash in their neigh
borhoods will have been collected and
in waiting for wagons.
The special committee Of the Negro
Civic League, appointed at the general
mass meeting held at Mt. Carmel Bap-
fist Church last Monday night, held a
special meeting last night to make
plans for further assisting the city in
the Cleanup campaign. At last nights
meeting, resolutions were adopted call
ing upon each family to see to it that
all tin cans and dirt of every descrip-
ton be removed from their premises;
that cans, bottles, and other rubbish
be placed in boxes or barrels, located
at convenient points where the dump
wagons may reach them
Resolutions were also adopted re-
questing the officers of the league to
cooperate with the Commercial Club,
and the city officials in whatever way
possible to bring about cleanliness in

The Swain Show is said to be "dif-
