LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Il seems that the republican
party Is determined to make the
League Of Nations political issue
to be threshed out ID the political
campaign Of 1920.
They will wage this war against
the League Of Nations solely be-
cause if was proposed and cham
pioned By President Wilson. The
president has not urged it as a
party issue, and the democrats ID
power desire the matter treated as
. non-partisan question.
II the rapubiicsn party BY pro
longing the discussion leave the
peace treaty unsettled until after
the 1920 election it will be great
misfortune to the country. It will
entail an enormous expense to be
borne BY the people, and will
bring about a disturbed state Of
business, hurtful to all interests Of
the country.

Of this question by unnecessary
discussions, shown to be for poll
tical effect, and our boys are there
BY forced to remain in Germany, |
business interests continue greatly
disturbed, because of the unsettled
war conditions, the party will place
9 millsteae about its neck rather
than create an asset for the 1920
The country wants this League
OF Nations. the protection it gives
against The possibility Of another
/
terrible world war. and they want
the question settled as soon as pos
sible. They recognize the fact /
that 1t is not partisan political |
question and should not be so con a
,idered in its settlement.
The democratic party does not s
lesire thatit should be considered :
IS a partisan political question. c
They think, with President Will O
on. that its proper settlement d
hould be considered upon q
broader basis. But if the issue is c,
orced upon the country as a par k

TENNESSEE FRUIT

There is no reason why Ten

growing of fruits other than trop-
ical varieties. Certainly the state
should grow enough for home con-
sumption. If Oregon. Washing

fronia can produce apples and
prunes in sufficient quantity to
supply the markets of the world.
Tennessee should produce a suf-
fcient quantity and a superior
quality to supply her own markets
and have an oyerplus with which
to compete in other markets with
The colder northwest.
If Georgia can grow peaches in
sufficient quantity to supply the

PRAISE FOR WOMEN

"Our hats are off to the women;
we recognize them as our superiors."
This confession was made by Colo
mel L. ]. Magill, chief of the Depart
ment of Features of the Philadelphia
Victory Liberty Loan Organization, ID
conversation with some women work
ers.
Colonel Magill, who in directing the
activities of a regiment of Marines
has never relaxed from a stern mill
tary bearing, was all mOdesty and
humility in facing these women who
have proven themselves real soldiers
in the Loan brigade.
81 must admit" he said, "that 1 ig-
nored the women in my first calcula-
tions for this Victory Loan program.
I had been used to thinking that only
men could perform any accomplish
ments worth while. But in the brief
time that l have been on this work,
I have been confronted with such
striking evidence of female igenuity
and aggressiveness that l have expert
enced a right-abOut-face. From now
on, the women are our bosses. They
are closer to the people from whom
the smaller Loan subscriptions are to
be expected than are the men. They
are impelled by more earnest deter
mination. They are full of ideas, and
are always willing to give the time to
bring their ideas to consummation.
They are the backbone of the entire
organization, and will receive credit
for the major part of the results Sc

AFTER BOND SHARKS

Bond scalpers and swindlers who
induce the public to give up govern
ment securities for worthless stocks
of the "fy-by-night" variety are to
be put out of business by the United
States Federal Trade Commission, CO.
operating with the Department of
Justice, the Victory Liberty Loan
Committee of the War Loan Organi-
zation and other governmental agen-
cies.
Albert E. Turner, chairman of the
Brokers' Committee for the Victory
Liberty Loan and of the Business De-
velopment Committee of the Philadel-
phia Stock Exchange, is making a
survey of fraudulent and questionable
bond operations in the Third Federal
Reserve District.
Since these committees started a
campaign a few weeks ago some of
the more cautious scalpers and swindl-
ers have stopped trying to reach the
bond owners by displaying advertis-
ing But according to Mr.. Turner
they are still attempting to do busi-
ness by mail and by telephone solicit
tation of prospective victims.
at is planned to protect buyers of
Liberty Bonds, War Savings Certifi-
Gates and Thrift Stamps from unfair
practices and misrepresentation of
scalpers are operating among the
poor BY various misrepresentation
they induce bond holders to sell $50
securities for $40 and even, in some
instances, as low as $25.
"The greater number of the scalpers,
however, are satisfied with a smaller
profit on each transaction and a large
volume of business They do business
in many instances without being re-
ported because they offer the market
price of he bond, minus a fee, and
without interest. The bond seller is
entitled to the proportion Of interest
due on his bond at the time of the
SALE Many of them do not know this
and thus the scalper adds to his
profits"
The campaign against the scalpers
and swindlers will include advertising
posters warning against them. to be
posted in industrial estab ishments
The Foreign Language Division of the
Victory Liberty Loan Committee is
now making arrangements to have
such posters printed in various Ian
guages so that the warning will reach
all bond buyers.
According to Mr. Turner, the scalp
ers and swindlers could all be put out
Of business in short order if every
holder of a bond would ask the So
licitor to submit his propos tion to
any bank, trust company or reputable
broker, or to the Victory Liberty Loan
Committee.

One of the biggest features is the
flight of huge naval dirigible, equip
ped with all it's engines of destruction
as used in actual warfare. This bal
loon will travel from its base near
Philadelphia to the far corners of
the district, making at least two flights
each week of the campaign.
During its daily lights it will be
In the air twelve hours, half of which
time will be spent in flying over the
towns and communities far into the
Interior. 1t is capable of making
speed of so miles an hour, and easily
can reach the most distant communi-
ties and return the same day, making
several demonstrations en- route. SO
watch the sky, and your vigilance, no
doubt, will be rewarded.
The dirigible will be piloted by one
of the most capable flyers in the Navy,
Ensign c. w. Tyndall, of New York,
who spent many months guarding the
Atlantic Coast from the air, on the
lookout for German submarines. He
has mastered every trick of operating
the big monitor of the air and will fly
at low altitude, so that good oppor-
tunity may be had to observe the
manipulation of the balloon. During
his flights he will from time to time
release smoke bombs, such as were
thrown about troOpships when they
were being conveyed across the At
lantic He will also drop Victory Loan
literature.
Another big feature will be the dis
tribution of interesting motion picture
films to hundreds of towns-some of
them showing American soldiers in
action in France. Deeds of doughboy
heroiSm, which put fear into the heart
of the BOche, feats of the "Teufel
Hunden" or "Devil Dogs" as the Ger
mans called the American marines, and
exploits of "those fool Yankees" who
dashed over the top with no thought
of personal safety-these and other
thrilling features will be shown on the
screen.
another strong appeal has been de-
signed especially for the rural dis

tricts. Plans provide for visits to all
sections by returned American heroes,
the men who offered their lives for
the American cause and who still are
giving unselfshly of their time that
all Americans shall have the oppor-
tunity of learning why they are asked
further to lend aid to the government.
These boys, many of them just re-
covered from serious wounds, have
volunteered to act as Victory Loan
speakers. They will be in all sections
and their message is one of particu-
lar interest in remote districts.
War trains, bearing the speakers,
will make stops anywhere from a half
hour to two hours in each of the towns
visited. On each train will be an ex-
hbit of captured German war material.
Also there will be an American whip
pet" tank, which will be run down
skids to the street and participate in
parade. Local speakers in each in
stance will be asked to JOIN with the
soldiers in conveying the Victory Loan
message to the people. Time of ar
rival of the train at each town will be
announced beforehand in the local pa
pers, so that the country people can
arrange to be in town for the event.
OF course, the government is not
going to fail because any one individ-
ual does not subscribe to the Loan, but
if there are a few million non-sub-
scribers, then the government will be
sadly incommoded financially and the
results on every phase of national life
will be serious.
This is the answer the returned he
roes will have for the man who takes
the 'let George do it, attitude, VINO
says there are plenty of other men
who can better afford to subscribe TO
the Loan.
Reports received at headquarters
every day show conclusively that the
rural campaign is to date of the most
encouraging nature. Great results are
expected and all the Central Commit
tee Loan workers are confident over
subscription will result in every dis
trict

The debt of the American people to
the late Col Roosevelt has been recog-
nizei in SO many ways that it appears
unnecessary to refer to the fact that he
"discovered" Pershing and advanced
him. The fact is now made public
that Assistant ) cretary Roosevelt. a
cousin of the former President, was re
sponsible for sending Rear Admiral
Sims, incognIto, TO England, prior to
the declaration of war. About the
middle of March, 1917, Ambassador
Page cabled a request that a compet-
eat American naval officer be sent over
for consultation with the British Ad-
miralty. When the message was read
to the President by Secretary Daniels,
Mr.. Wilson apIr@ved al once. Then
thepTobem was 10 select The right man.
Secretary Roosevelt suggested Sims
because he had served as a Naval AT
tache at London and Paris and had a
general knowledge of European diplo-
macy. The president agreed al once
and Sims left on the first steamer.
The Admiral had been working for
several years on the torpedo destroyer
problem and all his practical experience
was placed at the service of the British
Government. Congress was indiffer-
ent to Sims suggestion regarding the
prompt construction of gigantic dirig-
ibles, having radius of 5000 miles.
England was constructing such air
craft for Use against the German cities,
as reprisal for the bombing of London.
Red tape caused his suggestions re-
gardiug the laying down of American
dreadnoughts to be ignored. When
the de-troyers and hattIeships arrived
in British waters, Sims reported them
ready for action three hours after their
announcement. They were assigned
to stations in the Grand fleet and per-
formed their part from the first hour.

go to war but was dissuaded by his
father who said he was a great aid to
him, in his work.
The examination of Henry Ford in
his libel suit against the Chicago Daily

Alfred Lucking. his senior counsel,
asked only few minor questions and
the witness was turned over to Attor-
ney Elliott G. Stevenson.
DO you mean by any of your re-
plies to Mr.. Lucking to change or
qualify any of your direct admissions
to me?" asked the Tribune lawyer.

Mr.. Stevenson recalled the case of
the Dodge brothers, minority stock
holders. who went into court in 1916
and compelled Mr. Ford to distribute
half of the $52.o00,000 surplus in
dividends.
Mr.. Ford admitted F. L. Klineen-
smith, a vice president of the Ford
Motor company, was authorized to
speak for the company. Wv. Will

at Detroit. previously testified it was
Mr.. Klingensmith who told him that
national guardsmen from the Ford
plant who went to the border would
not be paid while absent nor would
their places be held for them, nor
their dependents looked after.

larging his plant but this was re-
versed by the supreme court OF

charged that this alone sacrificed
