Desperation of Europe.

Mr. Hoover said that few people
seem to realize the desperation to
which Europe has been reduced.
During the coming winter some of
them will look with longing eyes to
this rich, fat Nation, with its surplus
of every human necessity" he said.
I'VE cannot fiddle while Rome burns.
If we believe we can see our neigh
bors return to another 80 years war
through the break down of this treaty,
and we still maintain our progress, 1t
is the egotism of insanity. Our ex-
pansion overseas has entangled us for
good or i'll, and | stand for an honest
attempt to join with Europe's better
spirits to prevent these entangle-
ments from involving us in war. We
are not dealing with perfection, we
are dealing with the lesser evils.
For us to refuse to enter into
joint attempt with the well-thinking
sections of large part of the world
TO establish a continuing moral con-
science against war is the utmost folly
in our own interests"
Pointing out the likelihood that
some European Nations will again be
plunged into war with their neigh
bors, Mr. Hoover referred to a pro-
liability OF the invasion of Poland
if the treaty failed.
There are many elements in Eu-
rope" he said, who wish to see the
treaty break down and the League
Of Nations disappear, During the last

Thus it is urged by the campaign

Picked Up Unconscious.


Mrs. Fetter was unconcious when
picked up Immediately after the ac-
cident She did not regain conscious
ness. The Fifth district auto police
patrol was passing at the time and
the dying woman was taken to the
City Hospital in this conveyance. She
reached the hospital within ten min
utes after the accident and died ten
minutes after reaching the hospital
The accident occurred at 1915 o.
clock and her death came at 1925.
Mr. Fetter, who was at his office, at
hrst took his name, in accordance
with an agreement with the railway
company, which has pledged respon-
sibility in such matters. Karsner was
Fourth-street motorman for six or
seven years, it was said at the Fourth
street barn after the accident. He left
Louisville two years ago, but return
ed at the company's request during
the strike and took up his old work.
Karsner told the police that he
considered the accident Mrs. Fetter's
fault because there were no automo-
biles parked in front of the Mary
Anderson Theater, in accordance with
the ordinance against it, and conse-
quently he said, there was nothing
to obstruct her view.
Mrs. Fetter was identified after the
accident by her card in her purse,
which had the address, 171s South
Third street. Some confusion, how
ever, resulted mistook the name for
Letter" and because it was not gem
orally known that the Fetters had
moved in from Pewee Valley, where
they have summer home Mrs. Fet-
ter had only returned to Louisville,
yesterday and had not had time to
have her furniture unpacked.-Louis-

KILLED BY CAR
Run Over on Fourth Ave. Well
Known Here. Formerly Liv-
ed At Addison.

Run down by Fourth-street car
and both feet severed, Mrs. George G.
Fetter, Sr, died twenty minutes after
the accident this morning at the City
Hospital
Mrs. Fetter was crossing from the
west to the east side of Their street in
front of the Mary Anderson Theater.
She had crossed the south-bound
tracks and stepped directly in the
path of north-bound car No. 1916, in
charge of Motorman c. d. Karsner
and Conductor r. S. Keith.
She ran in front of the car when
| was too close to stop it," said Kars-
ner, who is an experienced Louisville
motorman. The front trucks had run
over her ankles and both her feet
were mashed off before | could stop
the car. Her body fell over on the
south-bound track"
