TREATMENT OF SOLDIERS
CRITICISED BY SENATOR

Criticising alleged failure properly
to equip American forces abroad. de-
lay in payments to soldiers and de-
pendents and many acts of the gov
eminent in the war. Senator Freling-
huysen of New Jersey said in the
Senate yesterday that American sol-
diers had returned ragged and PEN
niless-''clad more like tramps." He
advocated placing of responsibility.
and concluded with the following ref
erence to President Wilson:
ut is all very well for the President
to break the preeedents of a century
that he may head triumphal process
sions in foreign capitals, sleep in the
chambers of royalty. dine off of gold
plates in the palaces of the modern
Caesars and have his photographs
taken - with kings. queens
and princesses. But what of the Amer
lean private who returns to his native
shores dismissed without
dollar in his pocket?"

TO ALL MEMBERS

We know there is not one of US
who would be willing to feel that the
resting place Of our loved ones was
kept through charity. The annual
dues of one dollar per member is
wholly inadequate for the work abb
solutely necessary to be done in our

lars per day for man whose servi-
ces cannot possibly be dispensed with
without allowing the weeds and grass
to over-run the place. We have the
promise Of twelve members to pay
five dollars per year dues, there are
many others who should volunteer
to do likewise but none Of US can af-
ford to pay less than two dollars per
year. We will meet with our presi-
dent ON Thursday, May 9Th, at ten

PEACE TREATY
TAKES CARE OF
KAISER'S CASE
Provides That Former En-
peror William Be Tried
By High Court.
HUN DELEGATES TO
CONFERENCE ARRIVE
First Reading of The Peace
Treaty VIII Probably Be
This Friday Afternoon.

The first reading of the peace trea-
ty with the Germans will probably
occur this, Friday, afternoon or on
tomorrow, when the pact will be pre-
sented according to an Associated
Press dispatch.
Early Wednesday morning the
German delegates to the conference
reached Versailles, occupying two
railroad special trains, and bringing
with them 63 experts, assistants and
journalists. The trip which started
in Berlin Monday afternoon was
made without incident, except for a
few broken window glasses in some
of the cars at one or two towns
where the people had gathered.
1t is dispatched that the peace
treaty is now ready for presentation
including the provisions with re-
spect to the west bank of the Rhine
It is also understood that the treaty
as drafted for presentation to the
Germans contains a clause provid-
ing that former emperor William bt
tried by an international tribunal.
1t was also learned by press reporters
that a separate tribunal will try 9th
er military officers of Germany. Hol-
land will be asked to surrender the
former emperor at the appointed
time.
The Italian Question yet re-
mains unsolved, apparently, Premier
Orlando having left the peace con-
ference before the treaty was COM
pleted on account Of the American,
British and French heads not grant
ing certain of his requests for con-
cessions in the treaty. 1t seems to
be the consensus of opinion, however,
that the execution Of the treaty will
progress without the Italian repre-
sentative, although Italy will be in
corporated in the completion of the
signing, etc.

Six Districts in Henry Are
Already Over Quota
Of Victory Loan.
PARIS DISTRICT is
ALREADY "OVER TOP"
Much WorkY To Be Done
In County AS Some Dis
tricts Tagging.

Although $244.100 of the quota of
$258,300 assigned to Paris and Hen
ry county in the fifth, or Victory
Loan campaign for funds with which
to liqiudate the war costs, has been
subscribed, there is yet much work to
be done throughout the county, as
a large oversubscription is now cal
led for on account of the Victory
Loan falling below quota in many
parts Of the country where war activ-
tiles in the commercial realm have
ceased.
According to R. L. Dunlap, sales
director, only five districts in Hen
ry county, aside from Paris, have at
tanned the quota assigned, and some
of the county districts have not been
heard from at all. The 9th district
with R. B. Chrisman chairman, how
ever, has gone "over the top" as has
the Cottage Grove district under the
leadership of Sid Austin, the 18th
district, managed by w. ]. Brite, the
17th by DR.. Walker, and the 25th

son went over in one day.
In the city of Paris a systematic
drive on last Friday put the first dis
trict in the clear, this having been
accomplished by a personal canvass
made by four different teams who di-
vided off the city and went after the
individuals. The four captains head
ing the committees were Jos. Vein
baum, w. L. Dale, Joe Gray and Jack

vincing the prospective buyers Of the
necessity for the money forthcoming,
as well as the good investment which
brings a 3-4 percent with exemption
from income taxation.

FATAL SHOT ENDS
NEGRO CRAP GAME
Isiah Martin Shot In Head With
His Own Pistol, Following A
Craps Game Argument.

Arguing over point in a negro
craps game in the woods near Cot
tage Grove last Sunday morning just
as day was breaking, Isiah Martin
flashed a 32 Smith & Wesson and
Will VanDyck, known as "Old Will"
turned the gun in the scuffle. 1t
went off, and Martin was buried Mon
day just before the case was tried
in Magistrate Browns court.
Martin leaves wife and one child.
VanDyck was released, following the
hearing in the magistrates court,
having made bond for $4,000. The
state was represented in the hear
ing by R. A. D. Morton, and the de-
fendant by Fred Bryant.
1t seems the two negroes in COM
pany with several others of their race
were engaged in the regular Satur-
day night-Sunday morning game of
rollin' the bones. VanDyck had the
bones, according to his own testimo-
ny, and his "pint," for a So pot, was
S, known in the vernacular of the
game as "fevee," and is said to be a
difficult point to make. However,
VanDyck shook, ratified, and rolled
and the 5 showed up before his glim-
mers in the early morning sunlight.
Martin didn't see the five period
marks on the little combination of
square bones, and an argument en-
sued. Martin whipped out his pis-
tol; VanDyck grappled with him, and
the S. & w. exploded. The bullet
struck Martin in the head. The game
broke up, negroes going in all direc-
tions. VanDyck stayed; he laid
Martin out, put nickle on each eye
and went to the constable and tolC
his version of the affair. He will
later tell it to Judge Harwood.

STORES CLOSING
AT SIX O'CLOCK

All local stores are now closing in
the afternoon at 6 o'clock, new time.
Recently it was decided by some of
the stores held open until seven
ocloss1 uJlsnsIme because the farmers
haa b. cka = their clock and were
getting into the city one hour late
for shopping by the new time. How
aver, in other towns and cities where
stores attempted to remain open un-
til seven o'clock to take care of this
contingency, they were accused OF
violating the faith Of the government
and legal action was threatened.
Under the circumstances, and de.
sirous of complying with every re-
Quest and ruling of the government
the local stores have now all agreed
TO close at six o'clock in the after
noon, new time.
