MRS. WILSON APPEALS TO
WOMEN ALLIED COUNTRIES
Joined by DIR. Anna Howard Shaw in
Call to Aid Morality.

Washington, Feb. 6.-Mrs. Wilson
the presidents wife, and DR.. Anna How.
ard Shaw, chairman of the womans
Defense, have joined in an open letter
to the women of the allied countries
which will be distributed through Amer
lean diplomats in those countries. II
says:
Dear Friends The unparalleled
struggle for democracy and permanent
peace which binds our nation in co
operative service is shared by men am
women alike. In the yearning of tho
mother heart of the world for the hign
est moral and spiritual welfare of chill
dren there is a deeper and more subtle
bond which makes all women akin.
"Out of the mutual agony and low,
of the mothers of America, this mes
sage is sent to our allied sisters in Eu
rope, faithfully pledging our interest
and cooperation in the protection of
our sons and daughters at this time Of
unequalled temptation and danger.
Would Preserve Manly NigOr.
y "In all our countries, mothers are
willing and proud to give their sons TO
defend the ideals which underlie this
supreme sacrifice which their govern.
ment demands of them, and to accep'
with fortitude and calmness thei
death; but they shrink from the create
sorrow which comes from the loss Of
moral fiber that robs them Of health
and manly yigor.
1T is no wonder that their hearts fai
| them when they realize the tempta
tions which beset their sons, removed
| from homes and family ties, living the
unnatural life Of the camp exposed tC
! the excitement Of fierce passions of con
| fct: all Of which impair their power
to resist temptations that under hap

! would easily be conquered.
"The same is true of their daughters
who are thrust out of the home into
world service, with the glamour Of wal
| and emotional phases Of society whict
war tends to foster and which lead tC
! the breaking down Of restraints thai
have hither to been their safeguards.
These abnormal conditions place
upon all women tremendous responsi
blities and urge the closest union in az
effort to conserve the moral forces o
society, to protect our young men anC
women that they may be kept pure anC
chivalrous, so that after the conflict il
ended, we may look with hope to thu
future home life Of our peoples for tina
health of body and mind, that purit,
and nobility of individual character an'
that righteousness in government whici
alone can insure permanent peace an
prosperity to any nation.
IF we fail in this, then have ou
struggles been vain and future gen
erations will rightly charge the womel
of our time with failure to meet tn
great responsibility which must Away
rest with the mothers of the race

COMMISSION
ORDERS PAVING

Consideration of additional street paw
ing occupied the major part OF the
regular meeting OF the city commission
last night Three petitions were before
the commission, one for Stanley boule-
ward, one for West Broadway and the
other for c street southeast, from the
south line of First avenue to the north
line Of Ninth avenue
1t was shown that the paving of
Stanley boulevard had been undertaken
under a former administration and had
proceeded so far that the curb and gut
tering and a portion of the base had
been completed when the work was
stopped by the threat of injunction pro-
ceedings, and when it was alleged that
in the petition the word east" had
been erased and the word west in.
serted after the petition had been signed
and all work stopped with nothing fur
ther done since that time Last night
the commission started anew and
adopted a resolution to curb gutter
pave and otherwise improve Stanley
boulevard.
A resolution for paving c street
southwest, as above described, was
adopted. There appeared to be a strong
demand on the part Of many Of the
residents of that part of the city for
the paving of this street. Joe NJ. Lon
don addressed the council and said he
had expended more than $4,000 in that
section of the city and that the cost
of the paving of the street would prob
ably fall heaviest upon him,
There was a question a. to the petit
tion for the paving of Broadway having
sufficient siguers and it was passed
by. to be checked up today.
Col Sidney Suggs appeared before
the council on behalf of the Carter
County Free Fair Association and asked
that the grounds of the association be
shown on the new map now being pre-
pared for publication by the city lie
was assured this would be done
NJ. Holloway, a farmer who resides
near Cheek, was before the council with
a claim for the injury of a mule which
he said fell into a manholc in the
middle of a street which he could not
definitely locate, but was west of the
Hardy Sanitarium. He said the mule
was so injured as to be worthless and
he wanted the city to pay for it, The
