AMONG WOMEN TO BE
.. ORGANIZED WEDNESDAY

The women of Abbeville and Alb
beville County are urged to attend a
meeting at the Court House Wedres-
day afternoon at o'clock for the
purpose of organizing an auxiliary to
the Abbeville County Memorial Hos
pital. The Rev.Louis ]. Bristow will
make talk in which he will outline
the aims and needs of the hospital.
The work on the hospital building
is. progressing rapidly, but more funds
are needed to complete the building
and unless these funds are forthcom-
ing in the near future the work will
have to he discontinued. This is q
contingency that the hospital man
agementA Aoes not believe that the
peoplerwill let happen. But the facts
must be faced. More support is neces-
sary to make the project a success.
AS in many another project the
women are now called upon to help
the men out of difficulty and it is
expected that the women will re-
spond as. is their wont and make the
hospital an actuality.

A Society Tournament.

The Civic Club is arranging for a
series of entertainments to be given
next week for the benft of the Alb
beville County Memorial Hospital.
The form of entertainment will be a
series of parties to be called Socie-
ty Tournament. The ladies Of the
city in each street will be asked to
invite in eight ladies to party
bridge, rook, conversation or any
thing which appeals to her fancy -
each lady invited to give quarter
and to pledge herself to entertain the
eight ladies who will also give a quar-
ter and entertain eight ladies. In fact
it is simply an endless chain of par
ties the benefits of which will all
go to the Hospital.
Such Society Tournament will do
much to liven up the town, will give
the ladies pleasure and should be- of
great benefit to the Hospital financi-
ally.
The excellent idea for helping the
Hospital was given the Civic Club by
Mrs. Coleman, the Secretary of the
Red Cross Home Service Section.
The fact that the Hospital is a
memorial to the Soldiers of Able
vile County and a community need,
makes it possible for the Home Ser
vice Section to help in the enter
prise. It is due to Mrs. Coleman's
we'll known interest concerning the
soldiers that the Red Cross makes
this contribution of service.
Will you give a party some time
during the week Of the 9th to the
31st? If so, give your name to Mrs.
Foster McLane, the chairman Of the
committee.

WILSON SUFFERS
SLIGHT SET !. BACK
Digestive Disturbance Annoys Presi-
dent Sunday-Not Thought to Be
Seriods-Bulletin By Grayson

tanned relief from the PROSTATE con-
dition which retarded his recovery
last week, President Wilson was VIC
tim today Of slight digestive trouble:
His condition otherwise throughout
the day, Rear Admiral Grayson, his
personal physician announced to-
night, was unchanged. DR.. Grayson
issued the following bulletin from the
White House tonight:
'The president had slight diges-
tive disturbance today. Otherwise his
condition is unchanged"
The presidents general condition
was regarded as satisfactory, not,
withstanding the slight attack Of In
digestion. Until midday DE-. Grayson
and the physicians assisting him
in the examination Of their patient
announced that MIR. Wilson was
more than holding his swn and the
development after noon was not re-
garded as serious or as any indication
that the presidents general condition
was worse.
1t was said, however, that any in
cidental ailment tended to increase
nervousness and to that extent re-
tarded a recovery.
DR.. NGrayson, who has spent the
lnightgat the White House ever ,since
the president returned from. his
speaking tour three weeks ago today,
was not called to the patients bed
side at all last night. It was the
first time that some phase Of the
presidents condition had not made, it
necessary for him to attend the presii-
dent after he had retired for the
night. DR.. Grayson spent much. Of
the morning with the president and
after visits by sDrs. Rufin and stitt
the following bulletin was issued:
The encouragement manifested by.
the presidents physicians and others
of his household was understood, to:
be due not so much to any marked
Improvement, but to success Of efforts
made to allay the effects Of the all
ments incident to Mr.. Wilson's gem
eral condition. Great Importance has
been attached to the elimination Of
the secondary ailments, because with
them neurasthenic condition will
gradually respond to the treatment
being administered.

STRIKERS PLAN
FOR LONG FIGHT

Chicago, Oct. 19.-With the end of
the fourth week in the steel strike
interest in the Chicago district was
focused tonight on a secret session
opened here today by strike leaders,
said to number 200. .,-s...
Although the avowed purpose of
the gathering was the discussion of
conditions among the strikers and
means of furthering organized labors
aims, a report was current that the
meeting was to consider terms of an
armistice reported to have been Of
fered the workmen. -.
John w. DeYoung, chairman of the
district council for steel and iron
workers, issued a statement denying
q truce was to be considered. "All I
can say about the meeting" De
Young stated, "is that we are about
to1ay plans for long fight" He
added that the session might last
over Sunday because Of a mass Of de-
tails before the conference.

END OF FIGHT
TREATY IN SIGHT
Hone To Clear Away All Amend.
men.s-Lodge is Certain That Sem
ate Will Adopt Treaty With
Reservations-Much Specula-
tion On Final Vote On
!
Pact. ,.. -..

Washington, Oct. 19.-The long
treaty fight in the senate is about to
enter its final phase. Leaders hope
during the coming week to clear
away all proposed amendments and
make substantial progress in the
framing of ratification resolution.
Virtually conceding that no amend
ments will be adopted, the opposition
managers are determined to qualify
the ratifying resolution with reserva-
tons, and Senator Lodge, the Repub-
lican leader, declared in a statement
tonight that a decivise majority
would stand for reservations that
would be unequivocal and effective" {"
Privately the opposition leaders de-
clared Mr.. Lodges claim was backed
by an understanding amounting vir-
tually to complete agreement
among all of the 49 Republicans and
6 Democrats to stand together for a
reservation program evolved after
many weeks of conferences. 1t was
said not all Of the details had been
agreed upon, though on general prin-
ciples and in some cases on phrase
ology itself the 55, senators had been
brought very close together.
How far the remaining al senators
will 60 in their opposition to reserva-
stions is an uncertain question even in
the minds of some of their leaders.
They have stood unswervingly
,throughouth the fight for President
Wilson's program of a ratification
that would not require the treaty's
resubmsision to the other powers.
But it is for the president himself to
decide finally whether any reserva-
tions adopted do require such resub-
mission, and his illness has left the
administration leaders somewhat in
the dark.
There have been intimations that
should reservations unacceptable to
the administration be put into the
ratification resolution, the adminsitra-
ton forces would vote "no" on the
ratification roll call, but their lead
ers are not ready to say how they will
cross that bridge until they come to
it. It would take only 33 votes to
prevent ratification.
