They will be accorded place near the presi- dent Small banners will be used to designate the different sections, but the only flag to take the breeze as the scores of bands strike of their marital music and the great column moves for ward will be the one to which the sol diers have dedicated their lives the stars and stripes.
 The senate and house will adjourn early in order to participate.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Steps look ing to investigation of the supplying of defective cartridges to the American forces in France were taken today by Brigadier General CrOzier, chief of ord nance and by the senate military com mittee.
 General Crozier asked that a board of inquiry be named. He said small quantity of bromide, which retards fire for q fraction of a second, had been found in about two per cent of the ar my's cartridges. Confidence was ex- pressed by the general that the board would find that the defect was un avoidable and not due to negligence either on the part of the manufacturers who supplied the chemicals or to ord nance department inspectors.
 The senate committee decided to call Secretary Baker before it tomorrow for explanation of the matter and will then decide whether to pursue an investi- gation Of its own. Whether the in quiry suggested by General Crozier shall be made. will be decided by Sec retary Baker when the request reaches him tomorrow.
 Any defective ammunition which may have been supplied the navy by the war department ordnance bureau will be traced and returned for re man. ufacture. While the faulty cartridges comprise about ? per cent of the army s stock General CroZier said about ten per cent will have to be re-primed since the slow firing cartridges are mixed with others turned out from the Frankford arsenal during a certain pe- riod last spring. New Primers will be attached to all still in this country and the quantity held by the expeditionary force will be used for target practice.
 Since each cartridge and each box bears the date of manufacture it has

IRISH CONVENTION
 DELEGATES ARRIVE
 FOR BELFAST MEET
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

BELFAST. Sept. 3.-The members of the Irish convention arrived in Bel fast tonight, the deliberations being transferred to this city from Dublin.
 While the silence respecting the de- tails of the convention's work, which the government has imposed upon the press under the Defence of the Realm act, coupled with the reticence of the delegates themselves, makes it i'm possible to publish, or even learn what the convention is accomplishing, the general impression in Ireland is un- expectedly hopeful.
 It was freely predicted in Ireland that the convention would find itself hopelessly divided and break up after two or three sessions, but the fact that the delegates of all factions and creeds have been dining together and seen strolling together around the streets of Dublin indicates the bridg- ing of the chasm which traditionally separates them and is regarded in it. self as an almost unforeseen and cheering development.

 The danger attached to the use Of this ammunition is that if a cartridge does not explode promptly and soldier opens the rifle magazine to ascertain the trouble, it may explode in his face. Soldiers have instructions not to open the magazine for several seconds if no explosion occurs.
 The bromide in the potassium chlo- rate of the primers, General Crozier explained, was not detected in suffi- cient quantity by tests made at the arsenal to indicate possible danger. It was sufficient. however, to cause chem ical action after the cartridges were made up.

Republican A. p. Leased Wire1
 CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-Delegate to the Peoples Council of America for Democracy and Peace made no effort to hold public meeting today or tonight. Several con ferences were held at hotels where the delegates are quartered.
 Some of the pacifists attended a labor picnic, having previously an nounced they would make speech es there if permitted to do so. None made an address. A force of deputy sheriffs were sent to the picnic grounds by Sheriff Traeeer, who has been cooperating with Adjutant General Dickson since the arrival of the four com panies of national guardsmen
 Sheriff Trager declined to state what instructions had been given to the deputies, adding that he was cooperating with Adjutant General Dickson and would be governed by instructions from the commander of the state troops. The troops were held in readiness throughout the day at the First keSIment drmory.
 Mayor Thompson. by whose in- structions the meeting of paoifists was held yesterday under police protection, was, in seclusion throughout the day. Members of the State Council of Defense dis cussed possibility of action against the mayor for what was regarded as his illegal action in permitting the pacifist meeting to be held in defiance of Governor Lowden's orders.
 A number of the delegates to the peace conference left tonight. The report of the resolutions com mittee as given out tonight contained the following:
 "The events of the last few day clearly show how far America ha. gone in depriving herself of democ racy in order to export it abroad The action of Governor Burnwuist 0 Minnesota Governor PhilliDp of Wis consin and Governor Lowden of Il linois. in forhidding the peaceful an' law abiding convention of the con stituent assembly of the People, Coucil of America for Democracy ant Peace, was taken aainst the vigorou protest of the labor organizations il each state. who now see clearly wha lies behind the attempt to stifle fire assemblage, for labor is to be the mex victim.

This is the only classification which matters at the present time. If as some suggest, the people generally are disloyal to their government, let us know it and let us know it now
 The governor would not say whether he contemplated any further action in regard to Mayor Thompson for over riding the orders forbidding the meet ings of the peace council. The gover- nor tonight reiterated his orders to Adjutant General Dickson to prevent all meetings similar to that of the peace council

Rev. Lewis is not a noisy speaker,
but deep thinker, and when he de-

choicest of language and abounds in
wisdom, and upon this occasion his
discourse was Of special interest. He

Loose Leaf Opening al Campbells'
vile.

Last Tuesday the CampbellsVille
Loose Leaf House put on It's first sale
Early in the morning tobacco growers
and others interested commenced to
arrive and by the time the sale open.
ed, 9:45, six or seven hundred people
were in the house and on the streets.
When the sale started the bidding
was rapid and by Ills all the tobacco
on the floor had been sold. There
were buyers present from all sections
of the country, and the sale was made
without discord, and when over there
was no kicking.
Sixty. three Thousand pounds of dark

Burley was sold at S26 90, s35 90, $40.
Eighty. five pounds of Burley which
was grown by T. 1, Smith, Cane Val
ley, Adair county, brought $1.00 per
pound. This was the highest price.
The Jugs Of this crop brought $40 90
per hundred. Many persons on the
floor said, taking the sale as whole,
the highest prices ever known in this
section, were realized.
The farmers were certainly pleased
with the result. Those who did not
have tobacco on the market could
readily see that they made mistake
in selling before the public sale.
Campbellsville is proud Of this
house for the reason that it stimulates
all classes Of business.
Other sales will follow. At this
sale there would have probably been
one hundred thousand pounds more
offered had it not heen that it could
