CONFERENCE
A SUCCESS
Chairman Brown Feels Elated
at Meeting of Victory
Loan Workers
GOV. BICKETTs APPEAL

To all Liberty Loan Workers:
Our state Conference was held
yesterday. There was large atten-
dance of both men and women.
Many of them came with the feel
ing that their was but little hope
of putting the loan over in their
section. When, however, the terms
and the very moderate allotments
were made known, Chairman be-
came enthusiastic and the pess.mis-
tic feeling was converted into one
of high optimism. There is no longer
any question of placing the loan.
The question now is that of over
subscription. Men and women with
money want the bonds. Those
without ready cash will want to
buy and pay out of their savings.
1t is the finest investment offered
by the government since the Civil
War.
Now that the terms are known
| the allotments are made-the in
| vestment features are satisfactory
| the time has come to show our pa
| tr:otic side by Our personal and
| individual work.
| Lets shape our plans for the most
! thorough canvass in the shortest
possible time Lets finish the joI
quickly and wire the Secretary ot
the Treasury that North Carolin;
is over the top as usual, ant
as ready to help win the Victories
| of Peace as she was TO help VIII
the Victories. of War.
With all good wishes, am
/ Yours for the VICTORY Loan,
Joseph G. Brown, Chairman.

Rev. j. HardcastIe to the Rescue.

Platteville Witness There was con-
siderable excitement at Windmont park
about 7 clock last evening when Mabel,
thirteen year old daughter of Mr. and
Mrs 0. S. Ashley. fell out of boat into
deep water.
It seems that the girl, who was in a
boat with her brother Herbert, took
hold of the spring board at the north
end of the lake, and she was promptly
jerked out of the boat and she as prompt
ly went under. Her brother, who is
younger than his sister, lost no time in
diving to the rescue. The Rev. John
Hardcastle, pastor of the Primitive
Methodist church, who was near by,
and who has a record of saving four
persons from drowning, promptly waded
into the water and assisted the lad in
bringing the lass to the shore.

THOUGHTS OF READERS

Women, are we towards, Or, are we
help mates? When is a woman coward2
Just that moment she, by thought, word,
or action, does that which is unbecom-
ing to a christian. Do unto others as
YOU would have them do unto you. Love
one another. The greatest sermon ever
preached on earth may be found in st.
Matt. chapters 5, 6, 7. Women read
and obey.
Woman, was created for help mate
for man. Let US help in Gods way
Let us set our hearts, minds, and speech
against the things that lead from the
straight and holy path laid out by Christ
himself. We are told to watch and
pray lest we enter into temptation. Let
us give one tenth of our money and one
seventh of our time, or the Sabbath
wholly to the up building of Christ's
kingdom, and do all in our power to get
our loved ones to do like wise. Then
we would be helping with things worth
while. We would talk less ana pray
more. We would 20 to lodges and
shows less and church more. We would
do less fancy work and more christian
work. We would discourage Sunday
ball playing and Sunday picture shows,
and try in our helpful way to fill our
churches to over flowing, where we
may all sing, pray, and listen together.
Let us, as help mates, cleave to that
which makes for purer lives in the home,
church, and community. Take time to
be holy.
Speak often with thy Lord. Abide
with Him always, and feed on His word.
ONE OF You.

nOuncement of Police Commissioner
Curtis that none of the men who de
serted their posts of duty" would be
reinstated, and that he would proceed
to build up a new police force.
Ousted Officer Leads Strikers.
The strikers announcement was
made by John F. McInnis, president OF
the union. McInnis was one Of the
10 members of the union who were
tried before the commissioner, found
guilty, and suspended from the force,
and whose sentence to dismissal was
announced by the commissioner. He
said:
"The policemen are not wavering in
the face of false reports of the mon
eyed interests now so forcibly trying
to deprive us of our American free
dom.
''In the home and the hearts Of the
police we will remain undaunted In our
struggle for recognition Of our union
and the right to be affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor"
Because of his dismissal from the
force, McInnis offered to resign as
president Of the union. The members
thereupon reelected him, as we'll as
other officers affected by the dismissal
order.

With 1000 troops patrolling the prin-
cipal streets ND squads Of newly re-
cruited police quartered in every sta

situation we'll in hand.
The authorities, however, were pre-
pared for eventualities. Machine guns
were in readiness for instant action
and one gun was sent to the ROx

There was little talk of a general
sympathetic strike, but it was still
uncertain what action officials Of the
Central Labor union and the police
mems union would take as a result
Of the policemen having lost their
jobs. Loyal police were promoted in
many cases and will train new men
in their duties.

Immediate RATIFICATION
OF PEACE TREATY ASKED
Minority Report to Senate Cites Losses
Threatened by Amendments
to Pact

Washington, Sept. 12.-Rejection OF
the German peace treaty with Its
League Of Nations covenant or adop-
ton Of amendments would mean sac
rifice by the United States Of all con-
cessions obtained from Germany un'
der dictated peace, minority mem
bers of the foreign relations commit
tee declared in a report presented to
the senate.
The report presented by Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, ranking Dem
ocratic member of the committee,
urged speedy ratification Of the con-
ventiUn without amendments or res
ervations. It deplored "the long and
unnecessary delay to which the treaty
had been subjected, while locked up
in the committee whose recommend
ations were from the start a foregone
conclusion" and asserted these re-
concentrations could have been made
in July. f~
Senator Shields (Dem.) Of Tennes-
see did not sign the report, having
announced that he favored the COW
enant reservations prepared by Chair
man Lodge. 1t was stated that he
would not present a separate report.
Those signing in addition to Mr.. Hitch
cock were Senators Williams Of Mis-
sissippi, Swanson of Virginia, POM
creme Of Ohio, Smith Of Arizona and
Pittman of Nevada, all Democrats.
The report contended that the indus
trial world was "in ferment," the f1nan-
cial world in doubt and commerce
halted, while delay on the treaty had
been caused "by the majority Of a
committee known to be out Of harmony
with the majority of the senate and
the majority of the people," This was
declared to be government by obstruc-
ton as we'll as by minority.
