meeting simply an all-day ses-
sion, opening promptly at 9

Not only delegates, but all
members of the societies in the
district are invited to attend this
meeting. From a majority of
the towns the women can arrive
in Nettleton either by auto or
train on that day and return
home that afternoon. From
some places, however, they will
have to go over the day before,
Thursday, May II, and remain
over night in order to be at the
morning session.
Names of all who expect to
attend must be sent to Mrs. w.
E. Wiygul, and those who will
arrive on the day before must so
specify in order that arrange
.ments may be made for them.

THINK WELL OF GERARD
EBy Carl W. Alderman, United Press

GBy Carl W. Ackerman, United Press
Staff Correspondent
BERLIN, Nov. 20-The German
public regards skeptfcallly so far as i'm
mediate action is concerned. Washing
ton reports via Switzerland and Lon
don that President Wilson may soon
take some kind. Of steps for peace.
The government itself is having moth
ing to do with the peace talk nor is
the army. The army is concentrating
its efforts toward winning. The gen.
eral attitude toward American Ambas-
sador Gerard is changing. He will
probably find himself more popular
when he returns than he was six
months ago. There Is seemingly
well founded report here that before
Gerard departed. officials asked him
to return, even in the event of Presi-
dent Wilson's defeat and remain as
long as possible.
But as far as the general public Is
concerned, the reports of peace steps
are causing universal discussion.
The growth Of sentiment for an In
ternatfonal agreement to prevent 9th
er wars, is evidenced by efforts OF
German newspapers to obtain from
Isaac Wolff, president OF the Ameri-
can chamber OF commerce. 1n1orma-
ton and ideas as to the Ameri-
can League to Enforce Peace. The
newspaper Germania and its conserva-
tive organ, the Tages Zettung, Doth
say that Wilson should make peace
but these views hardly represent pub
lie sentiment or the official viewpoint.
The Germanfh article declared that
II Sir Edward Grey for England;
Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg for
Germany and President Wilson really
want universal peace after the war,
now Is the time to get together.
With all this discussion OF peace,
Germany is a unit in casting aside
any fears for defeat. Everyone de-
clares there is still considerable
punch left'-and the success Of the
Bulgarian offensive and the German
r boat cruiser warfare is particularly
cited.
