PEACE UTILIZATION MEETING
TURNED INTO UNITED WAR

ADDRESS BY Mr.. PADGET7
Congressman VIII Speak Also in Co.
lumbia Saturday Afternoon at lao
o'cicck-Employes Asked to Give
One Days Earnings.

Approximately $4,000 in initial sub
scriptions to the United War Work
fund was raised in few minutes
Thursday night following an address
by Hon. L. P. Padgett. This is about
half of the original allotment to the
Mt, Pleasant district, but is consid
cred to be not more than one-third of
what that district will raise, since the
quota for the nation has been almost
doubled.
Mr.. Padgett had been invited to. adj
dress a peace celebration meeting in
Mt. Pleasant, but by the time he reach
ed that city he had learned that there
was some doubt about the report be-
ing correct and asked that instead OF
a jubilation the meeting be convert
ed into a United War Work drive He
spoke of his experiences while in Eu-
rope as chairman of the house naval
affairs committee and told tho peo-
pie about the great work being done
over there" by the Y. M. G. A. and
the six allied war camp organizations.
The response to an appeal for funds
for this cause at the close of Mr.. Pad
gett's address was spontaneous.
Mr.. Padgett will address mass
meeting of citizens at the courthouse
in Columbia at 1870 p. m. Saturday
in behalf of the United War Work
campaign which begins next Monday.
Announcements of other meetings to-
be held throughout the county Sunday
will be made at this meeting and all
details of che campaign reviewed. A
number of the district campaign man
ayers will hold conferences during
the day with their community chair
men and workers. sUst Y
The industrial department. of the
campaign has requested that every
firm and industry in Maury county
ask its employees to contribute at least
one days earnings to the United War

nounced that his firm, Anderson Bros.

lust Terms As
The Hun SGD
I'D. Them In 1871
From Count Won Moltke's "His-
of the Franco-German War"

The negotiations (between the
commander of the French armies
and General Won Moltke) were
held at Donchery during the night
between Sept. 1st and End. The
Germans were forced to consid-
err that they must not forego the
advantage gained over so power
fui IAN enemy as France. When 1t
was remembered that the French
had regarded the victory OF Ger
man arms over other Municipalities
in,fhe light of an insult, any acts
Of untimely generosity might lead
them to forget their own defeat.
the. only course to pursue was to
insist upon the disarmament and
detention Of the entire army, but
Officers were to be free on parole.
General Won Wimpffin declared
it impossible to accept such hard
conditions. The Negotiations were
broken off and the French officers
returned to Sedan at / o'clock. Be-
fore their departure they were CIV
en- to understand that unless the
terms we're agreed to by nine
O'Clock the next morning the bonn
bardment would be renewed. The
capitulation was signed by General
