 Would you know my complete thoughts? Should there be no writ ten treaty, I would count on America all the same. l can say We are firm ly counting on the adoption of the treaty over there"

 The premier recalled how at one crisis the Allies had to decide wheth- CT to defend Calais or Paris.
 "A few days Inter-" he continued, Premier Lloyd George of Great Bri- tain asked me what had decided. I replied; France made Paris; Paris made France. I would burn Paris to save france!"

NOTICE
September %, 1919.

 You have asked my opinion to whether any persons be admitted to the electors oath meeting Seectmen and Town Clerk advertised 10 be held on Sat urday Sept 2h, 1919 at later session. enable these to vote at the election to be held October 9th Pext.
 The law relating to the admission of electors was changed by the recent session of the Legislature Section 57 of the General Statutes before the amendment provided that sessions should bo held Saturday of the second week before the annual Town meeting held This section amended by Chapter 30 of the Laws 1919 as to have sessions held on Saturday of the third week before the annual Town meeting
 Section 56{ provides that the SeIectmen and Town Clerk shall not be in session in any Town the purpose of admitting electors except upon the days prescribed by law and they shall not sit Board admission of electors after o'clock in the afternoon"
 It is my opinion that the Seectmen and Town Clerk have no legal power to hold session to admit persons to the electors oath Saturday. September 27th is the Saturday of the third week before the annual Town meeting Although this session has been advertised to be held on Saturday the l7h, action taken by the Select and Town Clerk in the way admitting persons to the electors oath would be null and void, and the oath administered to any person. such person have no legal right to vote at the coming election.
 You have further asked my opinion as to whether a legal and binding agreement could be made by all the didates at the coming election which would enable per the ito be made list to be by the Select men and Town Clerk at a session September 27th
 In regard to this question, beg to stale that it my dates would have legal effect and would not validate the election at which these newly made voters should Such would contrary public policy and vod and would not in any way help out the situation.

GIANTS FAVOR
 WHITE S0X TO CAPTURE SERIES

New York, Sept. 26.--- Members of the New York Giants have gone on record as faYoring the White Sox in the worlds series and advance as the reason the beating that the Giants took from the Sox two years ago. The Giants say they have had no such trouble with the Reds this sea- son as they did with the Sox in the world series of 1917.
 Looking back at the October dis play it is found that the Sox won the series four games to two and that the last two games were prac- tically gifts through stupidity on the rart of the Giants, or else inexcusa- b1e errors. The Giants broke under the test. The Sox finished the series with a percentage of .667.
 During the last season the Giants and Reds played Just twenty games, twelve of which were taken by the Reds and eight by the Giants. In the real deciding struggles the three doubleheaders played at the Polo Grounds, the Reds won four of the six, for exactly the same percentage as did the White Sox. In the years play the Reds finished with a per centage of 600 over the Giants. All of which would make the argument of the Giants worthless when 1t comes to the world series.

Nashville, June 5.-(Special) The Nashville Rotary club is forming plans to have Sergt. Alvin c. York, the great war hero, attend the game here Tuesday between the Vols and the New Orleans Pelicans, the day to be designated as "York Day"
 Arrangements will be made to have all proceeds over the regular esti- mated attendance receipts go into the sSYork fund" which is being raised by the Rotary club to buy the great hero a farm for his valor in the war. where he killed. single-handed. a score or more of Germans and captured 1o2 prisoners single-handed

Roberts as his battery mate. The modest soldier hero has been of a retiring disposition while in New York and elsewhere, re- fusing to become more conspicuous than possible, but his home is at Pal Mall, Tenn, and he has friends here who declare that he will be willing to carry out his part of the programme.
 Sergeant York is to be married to Miss Oracle Williams, his sweetheart of the hills. Saturday in his home town Governor Roberts officiating. Tuesday is ladies' day at the ball park and it is proposed to have Mrs. York attend in honor of the occasion.

LITTLE ROCK HOWLS
 OVER DANNY CLARK
Pebble City Officials Say Waivers on Ex-BarOn
 Were Put Over"

Little Rock. June 5.--The troubles of President Martin continue. because of the way various clubs try to put it over him-and sometimes they succeed Take, for instance the case of Danny Clark, in which Little Rock has one swell squawk coming if they cared to take it. Along about the time Aliens club took the road, waivers were asked on Clark by the Birmingham club. The notice read that Clark was still in the army Now Elberfeld needed a second baseman of all things. but what was the use, he thought, of claiming man who could not be used for an indefinite period So Little Rock waived.
 But, before you could say Jack Rob inson, here was Clark's name appear ing in Texas league box scores. It is said that President Allen wrote South ern league headquarters asking the why and wherefore but never received a satisfactory reply. One could not inn agine Judge Kavanaugh or Bob Baugh handling the matter in this manner. In fact it would not be a bad guess to say that a player waived out of the league under such circumstances-and it was proven that Clark was not in the army when waivers were asked-would be brought back and every club given a chance.
 It is said Little Rock is not the only clYb with kick. They say that cer- tain other club in the league asked waivers on a player. Another club wanted him, and wired the presidents office asking whether or not he were a Class B man and salary. Up until the time waivers were up, no reply had been received. Several complaints have been received around the league that it is hard to get replies to letters or wires out of the presidents office. Let us hope things do clear up some as John Martin seems to be nice fellow but 1t does seem as if things were go- ing rather badly in and through his office
