PH0NOGRAPHS TO BE USED
IN PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

New York, Aug. 1S.--Phonographs
will be used by both the Republican
and Democratic parties in the ap
preaching presidential campaign, it is
announced, the plan embracing a pro-
gram which will permit the residents
of small towns and remote hamlets to
hear the speeches of eminent orators
at the same time that the records are
released in the large cities.
The photographic campaign will be
opened on Sept. l, when records con-
tanning utterances by Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer, speaking for the Demo-
Gratis, and others registering the
speech of United States Senator
Lodge, voicing the sentiments OF the
Republicans, will be released. These
speeches will be reproduced at clubs
societies headquarters, churches
MONDAY meetings and in the homes
of party workers.
Following the release Of the speech
es of Attorney General Palmer and
Senator Lodge, other records will be
distributed monthly and it is expect
ed that the meeting places and homes
throughout the country will fairly
echo and re-echo with the words OF
the orators as conveyed by means OF
talking machines. The extent OF the
part which monographs may play ia
the campaign can be estimated by the
statement that two manufacturers OF
the machines are known to have more
than 100000 monographs in use in
the United States.
Among the speakers scheduled for
ohonographic oratory by the Demo
cratic National Committee are Presi'
dent Wilson, Secretary of War Baker
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, former
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
and William j. Bryan.
Former Presiden Taft, Major Cen
eraI Wood, Elihu Root, Chauncey NJ.

TECT AMERICANS
BELOW BORDER
REPORTS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED
CONCERNING DETENTION OF
TWO ARMY AvlAToRS FOR
RANSOM
tBy Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 1S.-Thc State
Department has received Official re-
ports from Major-General Dlckman.
commander of the southern depart.
ment, concerning the detention by
Mexican bandits of Lieutenants Paul
Davis and Harold Peterson, army
aviators, for whom fifteen thousand
collars ransom is demanded. Ar
fangement has been completed for
Tor payment of the ransom to save
the airmens lives.
Relations between the American
government and Carranza are
strained and are considered to be
bordering on acuteness on account OF
failure to protect American lives be-
low the border. The detention Of
army aviators is regarded as a breach
OF international law, and a vigorous
protest has been sent Carranza by the
State department.

AUSTRIA'S DEGRADATION

The depth of degradation to which
the once powerful Austrian empire
has sunk Is significantly illustrated
In the report from Paris touching its
reply to the peace terms that were
submitted some time ago to its dele
gates. DR.. Karl Renner has formal
ly notified the peace conference that
his country's counter proposals are
on the way. He might as we'll have
sent the document with the notifica-
ton. For there is only a shadow of
the peace conference left at Paris to
receive It. 1t wasn't worth while
sticking around on the Austrian busi-
ness. There will be no duplication
OF the ceremonies which attended
meetings with the German delegation.
Vile as the Prussian outfit is, It still
commands small measure of that
formal courtesy which ever has ex.
listed between the governments Of
states. But Austria is too insignifi"
cant for the smallest pretense Of
courtesy.
Stick 1t under the door," might
have been the answer sent to DR..
Renner when his notification was
read. For there is virtually nothing
left of Austria and what there IS can
command nothing of respect or SYM
rathy. At best a catspaw for Prus-
sia, a pompous swashbuckler that
thrived on doing dirty work for 9TH
ers, Austria today Is but remnant,
incapable Of speaking for itself so
that it can be heard. It makes an
answer to the conquerors of the en-
emies of decent peoples, but it Is
merely whisper of which no notice
will be taken save to deny the plans
the pleas made. What Austria has
been told to do she will do because
she is powerless to resist. She hardly
exists today and she will not exit to-
morrow unless she obeys. 1t is a
hard fare but merited one Tampa

THE INVISIBLE POWER
OF ROTARY
(Bg Paul B. Harris, President
Emeritus)

Friends of the Victory Convention,
| greet you and congratulate you on
your opportunities to participate in
the affairs of convention which
gives promise of being at the same
time more inspiratonal and more
practical than any previous Rotarian
gathering.
Since the last meeting of the In
ternational Association of Rotary
Clubs, the dove of world peach has
huttered painfully, exhaustedly home.
Never has it been more welcome than
it was at that expectant, breathless
hour. The spirit Of broken hearted
mothers and widows and fatherless
children flung open the window to let
it in, and strong men of vision and
human sympathy have resolved that
it shall never depart again.
Men are asking: did the awful
holocaust pay?"
Certainly not in material things,
Indemnities are baubles when com.
pared with the lives of men. En-.
pires rise and fall, but truth is ever.
lasting.
Real values are never to be found
in material things. Invisible things
are priceless, Victory is invisible, and
when the final reckoning shall have
been made, it will be known that Vic.
tor, the prize invisible, was really
won by the legions of unseen, un'
heard things Men? Yes, millions OF
them, mothers sons. But who sus'
tanned those men thru tired march
and sleepless watch who but spirit
indomitable invisible? And many of
those very millions have themselves
been taken from their broken ranks
Of living men and mustered into the
ranks of the hosts invisible The war
was worth while. II taught US the
value of unseen things; that liberty
can never be dear at any price.
Rotary is interested in the larger
values, in the invisible, eternal things
for which men are willing to die
A material Rotary would soon be a
dead Rotary. A Rotarian who sees

Such women were widows of grace" and in later parish registers they are described as "grasse wid- owes" In the time of Sir Thomas More the term grass widow was applied to unmarried mothers and in this sense it WAS used in mos: of the TcutoniC languages. In modern times the term lost that reproach, and has been applied to the wives of men long absent from home Another eXltuna- tion of it's origin is found here in the United States.

Loiver, Thirty y-eighth Infantry and made detailed confession, saying negroes had been organized by Ltt- tie Rock white lawyer, Hicks could not remember the lawyers name, but gave his description. He said the white men did not organize the ne- groes to fight except to obtain their rights" Hicks was armed with .39- caliber rifle when overpowered by Loiver. Every fact elicited by off cers, citizen posses and the military so far show that the troubles of the past few days in the lower part of 
 this county were due to a carefully pianred instruction among certain class of negroes and that these plans were brought to premature head py the killing of one officer and the wounding of another at Hoop Spnr. The confscation of quantities of higa I.ower rifles, shotguns and pistols ,fNt, and the discovery of 27 large calibe" rifles and numbers of cases of am. munition in the headquarters of the Johnson brothers at 225 Walnut street. this city, show plainly that l general insurreCtion was planned, and that only an accident (the trage. dy at Hoop Spur) prevented a much nore serious situation from arising sooner or later.
