tangible will come out of Wash.
ington- something that will
stabilize the dollor, return con.

Before congress confeIs any
permanent. high rank upon any
officers, other than that which
is already provided for in our
regular army, let lis have n re
port of the stewardship Of such
officers. Let us first know
whether or not they are worthy
of such honors in the way of
lifelong promotions. The sons
of the fathers and mothers must
make up the next army, and it
is but fair that these same ia
theirs and mothers should know
the mental calibre and qualifica-
tons of the officers who are TO
be placed in supreme command
of their offspring.

Mrs. w. M. Warterfeld, Warthen
Farm, this city, has been solicited by
the Tennessee Capitol Association to
aid in the movement for the preserva-
ton OF the State Capitol and improve
ment of the surroundings. A great deal
has been said in the General Assembly
and by others all over the State con-
corning the deterioration OF the famous
old building and its grounds, but it has
been left to the ladies to act in this very
important matter and in view OF this
fact the ladies are being enlisted in the
work OF booth for the Tennessee Cap
itol Association at the State Fair. Mrs.
Frank w. Ring and Mrs. S. s. Crockett
have addressed letter to Mrs. Warter-
field and Mrs. Warterield, we under
stand, has kindly consented to aid in
the work. The Commercial knows
that it would be not merely a matter of
State pride but matter OF pure econ
omy to preserve and take care OF the
Capitol building, and very gross and
expensive mistake if it were not done.

PEACE AGAIN IN COAL REGION
Miners, Footsore and Weary, Return
to Their Homes and Re-
sumo Work.

Charleston, w. Va.-Peace and quiet
again reigned throughout the coal dis
trict In this section of the state, from
reports and appearances, after several
days of anxiety and turbulence, due to
thousands of miners stopping work and
taking up the march into Logan county
with the avowed purpose of forcing
this non-union field to organize.
Worn, weary and footsore, the men
were brought back from their pilgrim
age after their organization leaders
had pleaded with them to observe the
laws of the state, and from the various
mining communities came reports that
all was quiet and that the men were
returning to work.

MUST SIGN PEACE
PACT AS IT STANDS
RoUMANlA WILL BE FORBIDDEN
TO QUALIFY ACCEPTANCE
OF THE TREATY.
Note From Germany Considered Evas.
I've, and 1t May Be Decided to
Enter Farther Into That
Country.

Paris.-The supreme council of the
peace conference informed Roumania
she must sign the peace treaty with
Austria without reservation or abstain
altogether from signing.
The Roumanian peace delegation has
not yet reached decision in the mat
ter.
The Roumanian delegation has sent
q note to the peace conference declar-
ing that it's intention was to sign the
Austrian treaty with reservations. The
supreme council took the Roumanian
note under consideration. 1t appears
unlikely such signature will be per-
mitted.
Premier Clemenceau presided at the
council meeting, which also discussed
the German reply to the allied demand
for suppression of article 81 of the
German constitution, providing for
Austrian representation in the German
parliament. The discussion of this
subject was not completed
While the council probably will
spend several days on the reply to the
German note before completing it, it
is considered certain that the answer
will be extremely firm in tone, taking
the position that Germany is violating
the treaty before it becomes effective,
thereby rendering it impossible for the
allies to ratify it.
Considerable differences of opinion
are known to have existed among the
members of the supreme council re-
garding the action to be taken con-
corning the German note, some mem
bers favoring the ignoring by the allied
communication on the ground that the
reply was evasive. and proceeding
further into Germany should the Ger
mans fail to indicate willingness to
alter their constitution.

Col. Edward 0'Flaherty, of Memphis,
field manager, Salvation Army cam
paign, was here this week to call on
the county chairman of the work in
Obion County, J. G.. Rurdick, Jr.
Colonel O'Flaherty has charge OF the
Home Service fund, and the work in
the counties of West Tennessee Is for
the express purpose of providing funds
for Tennessee alone, to be used by the
branch of the army in Tennessee.
Colonel O'Flaherty is very optimistic
over the work and very proud of the
success in the present campaign. Glib
son County has contributed $4,000 to
the fund and Madison 50, 100. Union
City alone has raised $3.50 and it re-
mains for the work of extension to
other parts of the county. Our quota
is 81, 900 and it should be very easy
matter. OF course we know that the
demands have been heavy, but 1t must
also be remembered that no church or
religious work is more important than
that of the Salvation Army. Probably
no other religious organization is more
generally and favorably recognized, and
this organization depends entirely upon
the public for its support. The support
has been liberal and will continue to
be, but our people should be interested.
The Elks have done big work for the
Army and are active in the present
campaign. The committee OF the
young ladies here and the soldiers are
to be praised for the work they have
done in Union City.

FIGHT IS BEGUN
 AGAINST MILITARISM

Washington, May 2O.--(Special.) )-Army officers are determined to maintain a system of miltarism in the United States, according to Representative Dent of Ala bama, who has just returned from France.
 The fight is on' said MT. Dent. "Ev- cry army officer we encountered in France insisted on the necessity of two pieces of legislation:
 "Ol Compulsory military training.
 "(2) Retention of the general staff in possession of it's war time authority.
 The propaganda is under way, and the struggle is actually beginning. can't tell what the attitude of the ad minstration will be. Chairman Kahn of the military committee is preparing legis- the general staff l understand.
 Compulsory training would require every youth for so many months in each year to acquire military training. After the permanent military policy. respect ing the size of the army, IS determined this fight will be one of the biggest in the extra session."
 MT. Dent is known 70 be opposed to far reaching compulsory training. It is understood that Secretary Baker, prob ably reflectins the policy of the Presi- affecting education and vocational educa- tion, and minimizing military features.
 A bill to this effect would probably have the support of many who oppose compulsory miltarism.

PIGS IS PIGS
By WILLIAM S. HAGGARD

Pigs will be pigs. Nothing can be done to keep hidden their natural characteristics. The only salvation for pig, as brought out ID story book, is to stay at home. U
 will be remembered that the third lit
 tie pig. who stayed at home didn't set into trouble while the other two did.
 Now. two of these little pigs who did
 not stay at home got their master, John
 Anderson. negro resident of Pratt City,
 arrested last night and John, pigs and
 all are in the county jail. It happened thus:
 Deputy Sam Cunningham, one Of the sheriff's forces, was riding home on
 street car last night and just few
 seats ahead of him sat the aforesaid
 john with a "croker" sack between his
 legs Barely had Deputy Cunningham sat down before his nostrils caught
 the fumes of "cawn" emanating from
 the neighborhood of Johns sack.
 When John alighted from the car
 at the foot of Red mountain, Deputy
 Cunningham questioned him as to, the
 contents of the sack which he had across his shoulder. 'I'se jest got CT little meat an flour, boss, dats all,' answered John.
 The officer felt his side of the sack dllu u WdS odtui tCu. iiio iiooC HouA ! fooled him.
 He ordered the negro to dislodSe the contents of the sack and after he had pulled out ham, a sack of sugar,
 a small bucket of lard. some lady S hose and several boxes of snuff, out jumped two little pigs. Yes, sir two lit-
 tie. live. frisky pigs! Then Deputy Cunningham found the liquor. It was contained in seven wa ter bottles one of which had hole '.gnawed' through it and a portion of the whisky had leaked out, giving rise to the odor that gave the officer the clue.
 "Durn dat pig said John at the county jail last night, Init sho give me away" Tt doesn't pay to act a pig, anyway, John" said the officer. "Nosoah. no mo dat it does to have pigs aroun, - said John, as he walk d into his cell.
 4 charge of violating the prohibi- tion laws was registered against him. The pigs are also being held.
