In preparation for the enlarged
Dispatch, which we are preparing to
publish, We have employed Mr.. O..
A. Samuels, an experienced and
trained circulation man, to canvass
this city and county and trade terri
tory for new subscriptions TO The
Dispatch.
Mr.. Samuels' first task will lie to
reorganize the carrier routes Cf this
city, and with that end in view he
will visit every home to get the cor
rect name, initials, street number,
etc, of every person taking the pa
per. He expects 70 put The Dispatch
into every home in Columbus. in
every home ia this county and in
every home in all our territory.
We bespeak for him kindly re-
ception from all the people. We are
to make great paper and your
cooperation and assistance will be
appreciated.

the splendid record they made.

it is believed the issue will carry
overwhelmingly. There has been
strong and ,insistent sentiment here
for many years for permanent i'm
provement of the streets of the up
town section, and now the issue will
go to the people for decision.
The ordinance adopted Thursday
night provides that J. Fl. Brickell,
G. NJ. Flynn. and ]. s. Marx, city
election commissioners, shall con-
duct and manage the said election
and Mr.. Marx was appointed special
election commissioner.
Following is the exact proposition
as 1t will be presented on the bal
lot:
For the Issuance of Bonds
of the city of Columbus, Miss, in
the aggregate sum of $4,000, the
proceeds of which or so much there

pended In having paved certain
parts of designated streets and ave-
nues OF said city.

The Columbus dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 19??-1922, 1919-05-11

The Dispatch presents the nigh
points of the peace treaty presented
to the German delegates the past
week by the allied representation at
Versailles. 1t is too voluminous a
document to be intelligently re-
viewed at this junoture. 1t repre-
sents the constructive work for the
rebuilding OF civilization by the mas
ter minds of all nations and there is
scarce a sentence or paragraph
which is not pregnant with meaning
for some people or nationality or
government. It's full import will be
development and then we will all
know how wisely the statesmen
have planned for the future peace
of the world.
In a casual consideration of the
treaty one or two things stand out.
Germany is absolutely stripped of
her military and naval powers; she
is shorn OF her colonies and her ter
ritory and she is burdened with in
IDENTITIES which will make her a
yassal nation for years to come. In
deed the price she is justly paying
is such that it is doubtful if she will
ever become again a world power
and certainly as a competitor in the
economic and industrial world she
is crippled for all time to come. The
Kaiser goes to trial for a supreme
offense against the moral forces of
the world which probably means
that he will spend his remaining
days on some isolated island, while
the military men of his empire, like
Won Tirpitz, who was responsible
for submarine warfare, will answer
to military tribunals whose extreme
punishment is death.
One is impressed in considering
the treaty with the necessity of mod
flying the Presidents idealistic
peace points to meet world condi-
tions, which has been freely done.
1t had to be done to secure peace
and no matter how ardentIy he
worked and hoped for their realiza-
tion as the constitution for a world
peace they have been sacrificed here
and there to meet the exigencies
presented to the conference. Anoth-
err thing worthy of note is the after
peace work which is entrusted to
commissions for settlement. These
involve many of the grave problems
upon which the conference and the
League of Nations threaten to
break. Disarmament, only upon
which world peace can securely rest,
is included among these interna-
tional law for the government OF all
the world and for the settlement of
all disputes is also included in the
subjects to be handled by the Elk
ecutive Council.
We believe the whole world will
welcome the completion of the trea-
ty. Its adoption means the end of
the world war. 1t means the restora
ton of amicable relations among all
powers; the lifting of embargoes,
the restoration of trade and the OPP
portunity for nations and individuals
to work out their own peaceful
destiny. And if it brings world
peace for all time to come the world
war, as frightful and costly as it
has been, will not have been in vain.
