The speaker declared that one
heard less and less the accusation
that this is a war, for the. big inter
ests, for Wall Street or the manufac-
turers. The statement that no one
wanted the war except the newspa-
lpers and bankers is absurd and the
people OF the country are coming to
see the absurdity Of such statements.

AND PACIFISTS
Declares Purpose Of American
Alliance Is to Support Gov
ernment With All the Moral
and Material Power Of the
Working Classes.
tBy the Associated Press)

| Minneapolis, Sept. 5.-The Ameri-
can Alliance for labor and democ-
racy, organized for the purpose of
lsquelching the activities of the paci-
fists and pro-German propagandists
and bring labor forces up solidly be-
hind the government in the prose-
cution of the war, opened three
days loyalty conference here.
E. H. Hall, president of the state
federation of labor, called the meet
ing to order and Frank P. Walsh,
chairman of the U. S. commission
on Industrial relations, acted as
temporary chairman.
After an appointment of a COM.
mittee on perfecting the organiza-
tion the delegates planned to recess
until mid-afternoon and then receive
the committees report which would
be followed by an address by Sam
luel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor. Mr..
Gompers was expected to be named
permanent chairman of the organi-
zation.
Speakers at today's sessions de-
nounced as disloyal and seditious
the acts of the Peoples Council of
America for democracy and terms of
peace which was barred from hold
ing convention in Minnesota. The
motives of its leaders, were sharply
questioned.
John Spargo, one of the former
leaders of the socialist party, who
severed his connection because of
the party's stand on the war, declar-
ed; that several weeks ago the report
had reached the troops in Russia
that American labor bodies would de-
mand peace thru the Peoples Coun-
Gil meeting. Fargo, which barred the
Peoples Council after Governor Fra
zier had said the peace convention
would be given protection in North
Dakota, is represented at the confer
ence by a delegation of six labor
leaders.

traitor. But what could be meant by

plainly enough that was now In up to
my neck, and would have to risk
going; for there was no possibility OF
evading Selfridge unless. on getting to
the street, I knocked him down and
ran. which would have spelled ruin,
having no hole to run to-no possible
refuge unless II should be my own
house; and ! was by no means sure
that my aunt was still there, or that

CHAPTER VIII.
Up to the Eyes.

General Benedict Arnold sat in q
richly furnished room which by Its
castings showed 1t to be a library. He
was in an easy chair by an open win.
dow overlooking the glittering water-
OF the Hudson, cane at his side and
one leg stretched stiffly out, he never
having fully recovered from the wound
so gloriously received at Saratoga. He
was dark man, even swarthy in com
plexion, and his high nose and pierre
ing black eye gave him the expression
OF a hawk. His mouth and chin, how
ever, had nothing of the strength Of
the upper portion Of his face.
He was dressed in the uniform OF a
colonel. which was his real rank in
the British army, he being brigadier
general by brevet only. His sword anc
its trappings lay on a table near him.
AS Selfridge and halted before him
and saluted, the orderly who had ad.
mitted US backed from the room and
closed the door. Ny breath was com
ing thickly then.
General Arnold looked up from the
book he had been reading. "Lieuten-
ants Selfridge and Meltonf" he said
doubtfully cycling us both. Which 10

Something like frown gathered on
his dark face as he scanned me from
head to foot. "Sir, II is irregular for
an officer to appear before his superior
with neither uniform nor side-arms."
II have but just returned from Jer.
sey, general. And I understood your
order was urgent" / answered glibly.
"Has Lieutenant Selfridge any bust.
ness with me?" he asked, turning to
my companion.
"No general" said Selfridge. save
to introduce Lieutenant Melton, whom
I rescued from"
IL appreciate the courtesy, sir. but
will hear the story from Mr.. Melton.
You will pardon me. sir. and leave u.s."
interrupted Arnold. Selfridge's face
fell, but there was nothing for him to
do but withdraw, and without the
glory he coveted. Left alone with the
traitor, felt his eyes burrow my very
soul before he suddenly asked:
"You are from Morristown?"

rebel lines for two weeks or more;

memoranda were all taken from me

PEACE OR WAR.

DR.. Barnes preached a very sensi-
bic sermon at the First Christian
church Sunday night on the subject
of Patriotism and Religion. His con-
clusions were that nations were as
individuals; that they must preserve
their integrity, their life even if they
had to resort to war to do so. He
urged that war should not be precip-
itated. That this was time for cool
Judgment. That true patriotism was
not of the bombastic kind but on the
contrary that it was that cool, level
headed judgment that thought many
times before it acted but when it was
forced to act, did SO fearlessly and
with undaunted courage. The true
patriot was not the man who cried
war, war, and was. thus melted to
warlike spirit but that it was he who
said no war until we must strike to
preserve home and fireside.
The sermon was well received.
: (while the doctor was speaking the
news of the destruction of three ships
Of the United States by German SUBJ
marines was being flashed around the

THE CITY FINANCES.


We call attention to a statement of
the finances of the city made by the
City Treasurer, Mr.. John w. Crooke,
Richmond's model citizen, banker and
treasurer. His name is Crooke but
he is one of the straightest gentle
men that ever made figure or turn
ed a bank key.
Mayor Rice is proud of the state
ment. 1t is clean, clear cut and shows
that the city is in good way finan-
cially. He claims and is entitled to
much credit for this statement. 1t
has been his aim to keep the city free
from debt and he has succeeded. In
addition to the funds named in the re-
port, this city is entitled to a credit
of $4,000 due from Madison county
for road funds received from the
State. At least this is the conten-
ton of Mayor Rice and in this he is
sustained by legal opinion.

FOR JAILER.

Mr.. N. B. Jones, formerly jailer
of this county, has consented to make
the race for the office of jailer sub
ject to the action of the Democratic
party at its August primary, 1917.
Mr.. Jones has been urged by his
numerous friends for some time to
announce himself for this office and
has had the matter under considera-
tion. The pressure was so great that
he has finally consented ito run. He
us well remembered for his many acts
of kindness to the prisoners while in
the Office before and is formidable
candidate. The man that beats Mr..
Jones, will perhaps know that Jones
is a runner from away back. When
the boys in the hills and hollows hear
that their old friend has consented to
make the race, they will enthuse for
him and will know exactly how to
mark the ballot for him.

CONCERT BY THE q
LITTLE DORCAS SOCIETY

A large audience turned out on
Monday evening to hear the concert
given by the Little Dorcas Society
and praise was heard on all sides, for
the excellent program rendered.
Mr.. Evans introduced the perform
ers who had been coached by
Miss Mary d. Pickels, Mrs. ]. R.
johnson, Mrs. Denny and Miss Holtz-
claw. AS has been stated the pro-
ceeds of the concert will go towards
endowing child's room at the P. A.
C. Infirmary.
Those who took part on the pro-
gram were: Misses Mary Shearer
Marie Langford, Carolyn Rice, Sara
Chenault, Lucia Bennett, Dorothy
Grinstead, Elizabeth Shearer, Mary
Elizabeth Luxon, Sara Luxon, Eu-
genia Harrington, Elizabeth Hanger
Julia Enright, Dolly Pickels, Mary
Giunchigliani and Mary Hardin
Vaught and Coleman Wallace.
The exact amount made at the con-
cert has not been turned in, but it il
thought that it will come close te
$4,000, and surely this is money
worthily invested.

1t is said that some Of the sail

be assembled to consider the
situation at once. War ships

War has not been declared
but the President may de-
clare that a state Of war ex-

His legal department has
said that he has the undoubt-
