League OF Nations.

The Atlantic Congress for League
of Nations held at the Astor Hotel,
New York, on February 5th and 9Th
was great success. The Conven-
tion was held in the grand banquet
hall and ballroom on the first floor
of the hotel, which holds about
three thousand people.
There were some three thousand
delegates from the seven Middle
Atlantic States, and the Convention
was most interesting and enthusi-
astic one. There were present from
Maryland some eighty delegates.
Ex-President Taft opened the
Convention with a wonderful ad-
dress, setting forth the. absolute
necessity Of a League of Nations at
this time not only to maintain the
future peace of the world among the
great nations, but also to maintain
the integrity of the smaller aemoc-
racies which are now being set UP
and established in Southeastern Eu-
rope and Asia Minor. Great speeches
were delivered by Rabbi Wise and
Mr.. Frederick Coudert, the we'll
known attorney, of New York, both
of whom laid stress not only upon
the absolute necessity of establish
ing a League, but also spoke of the
result of their observation in Europe
during the last two months. They
said it not only could not be estab-
lished without the United States
but would with absolute certainty
be established and properly organi.
zed unless the opposition in this
country prevented, and emphasis
therefore was laid upon the import.
ance of continued effort to inform
and educate American public opin.
ion.
A platform was adopted which
was cabled to the President.
The delegates from Maryland and
the District of Columbia held a joint
caucus, of which Mr.. Henry w. Will
liams was Chairman and Miss Fl. D
Stonestreet Secretary, and com
plete organization of the Counties
was reported, but it was determined
to add to the County organizations

The liquor interests and the trades
having a profit in the business are
now spending much in Illuminating
advertisements, which give false
hopes that the doom which has been
pronounced on liquor manufacture
and traffic may be averted. Such
efforts must be stimulated more by
the selfish motives of paid organic
ers of the liquor interests who have
funds to expend and who have to
justify their employment, than by
any real hope of defeating prohibi-
ton already here. These advertise
ments are only the dying swan
song. They are the last kick OF
liquor organizations whose own in
tolerance, turbulence and corruptine
influence in politics have stirred
many otherwise conservative people
to this radical step.

Test OF Patriotism.

It matters not how big the Victory
Liberty Loan may be, we must go
over the top. We have this one
more big job to pay for the victory
or the IMMEDIATE demands of victory;
Liberty Loans will then be history
Our boys went over the top and
made glorious sacrifice that the war
might be won. 1t would be never
ending shame if we failed to show
our gratitude for their heroism; II
we should turn deaf ear to the
appeal of the government which has
done so much to bring peace to the
world. There was no tagging OF the
khaki-clad troops at Chateau Thier-
ry, at the Argonne Forest, at St.
. Mihiel, at Cantigny, at Belleau
Wood. They did not ask for bonus
or guarantee against loss. They did
not stop to consider the chances OF
failure. They knew there would be
a loss, but they we're determined
that there should be no failure.
And the enemy was hurled back in
defeat unparalleled in history.
What are we going to do about it?
What are you going to do about it?
The government is not asking us to
sacrifice. Our boys overseas gave
their splendid young bodies to stop
the whitening fire of German ma
chine guns. They laid down their
lives that we might be. free. We
are not asked to give our lives, nor
even our money. We are asked
merely to lend, and the loan will
have behind it the resources and the
pledge and faith eof America. Who
could devise mightier security?
Peace has come, but the war has
not been paid for. The enemy col
lapsed just as we were preparing
plans for his destruction. The ma
ton cannot now repudiate it's obliga-
tions; it cannot desert the allies be-
fore the treaties have been signed
it cannot abandon its brave men
overseas who must be fed and cloth
ed and returned to their homes; il
cannot turn from it's sick and
wounded. The war has not beer
paid for. II we had not won it we
would have lost everything thai
America holds dear, and the victor
ious enemy would have levied an
indemnity that would have bank
rupted the nation. Victory peace
Are they worth nothing to you:
Prove that you are worthy Of the
boys who died for you by "going the
limit" when the Victory Loan il
offered.

General Crowder for Census by WA
Department Process.


Emphasizing the enrolment by
draft machinery Of 100000 men
in one day, Provost Marshal General
Crowder, in his annual report
recommends to the government that
the next census be handled through
the war department draft process.
General Crowder's idea is to re-
quire every man, woman or child to
appear at designated place at a
fixed time and furnish information
for tabulation in the census returns
This would reduce the census-tsking
from months to days.
The selective draft law resulted in
the enrolment. of over $4,000, 600
men-13, 100000 in a single day
and total Of over 24,O0O,OO0 in
four days.
Referring to the results OF the
draft, General Crowder says that on
the day of the armistice the war de-
partment had produced an army OF
2,810.296 men. Had mobilization
lasted five days longer. the selective
service organization would have
placed with the colors more than
100000 soldiers. The work was
done. General Crowder says, at a
total cost of $16,O0O,OOO.
In the civil war, he said, the cost
per capita was $217, while under the
recent draft it was only 1852.
The report shows that the best
men physically came from the mid
die west, Oklahoma being 80 per
cent fit, while Rhode Island had only
So per cent fit and New York only
so per cent fit.

Bessemer, September 23-(Special) Otho Olive, charged with the murder of Barney Walker. chief of police of Brighton, August 2S was denied bond by Judge J. c. B. Gwin of the Bessemer circuit court. before whom habeas corpus proceedings were held Tuesday
 Evidence was introduced by the state to prove that Olive had been in a pre- vious shooting affray. which was brought out under examination of So- licitor Ben Perry He admitted that he had served nine months at Flat Top for shooting a man named Miller in Tus- cumbia in 1911.
 Olive showed extreme nervousness during the trial, and especially when placed on the witness stand. He stated that he preceded Walker to the office, where the shooting took place, and that the quarrel was begun by Walker stat ing that he had a settlement to make with him. He testified that Walker was armed and standing at the desk when he approached him and that he was struck over the right shoulder by | Walkers pistol, which was AS spe- cia1 and that he first staggered Walker | by striking him with his fist, shooting him with his left hand as he was fail- l ing.

 by MT. Perry as evidence. but the con-
 tents of the letter were not made known. Mrs. Daniels testimony was
 attacked by the state when II. M. Sharpe, mayor of Brighton, testified ]
 that Mrs. Daniel had been convicted of
 larceny in the Brighton court. The
