them were made by men who had mot

The League of Nations, the Presi-
dent said, was formed in fulfillment
of the promise that the United States
was fighting this war to end business
of that sort forever. Not to establish
the league he said, would be untaith-
.ful to those who had died.
"If we do not do this thing, he de-
clared, I'VE have neglected the cove
nants we promised our people. The
League of Nations is the only thing
that can prevent the recurttince ot
this catastrophe"
Besides this" the President con
tinued, "the treaty tears away the
chains of oppression and gtyes ainall
nationalities the right olive their

Young Fairmont Officer
Was Honor Guest at
Rotary Luncheon.
OPPOSE PHONE RAISE
Club Adopts Resolution to
Be Sent to
P.S. C.

Lieutanant Wayne shuttlesworth,
Fairmont lad who saw two years serv-
ice in the army, participated in nine
major engagements and was thrice
wounded, told the Fairrnont Rotar-
ians at their weekly luncheon today
that the credit for winning the war
belongs to the doughboy. But for
the initiative the doughboy displayed
when the test came the Allies would
have been "out of luck" in the opin-
ion of this clean cut young soldier
whose simple narrative Of a service
which included experience with the
British and French as we'll as with
the American army made splendid
impression upon the Rotarians.
Lieutenant Shuttlesworth after be-
ing transferyed from the British to
the American army was assigned to
service with the First division and
was in practically all the important
fighting that took /4ce after the
Allies assumed the offensive. After
the armistice was slgped he accom-
panied his division in the occupation
Of the Rhine country.
AT today's meeting the club went
on record as protesting against the
proposed increase of telepohne rates
in this state. A rlHolution to this
effect, introduced by Rotarian Wieg-
ell. led to a debate in which 1t was
brought out that the Fairmont Busl-
ness Mems Association has already
filed protest against the proposed
new rates, and that the special COM
mittee appointed by the Chamber OF
Commerce to study the matter and
make recommendation will report
at a meeting of the chamber to be
held tomorrow evening.
The resolution adopted by the Ro-
tarians is as follows:
"WHERlAS-The Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company has ap-
piled to the Public Service Commits
sion of West Virginia for authority
to make a large increase in Its tele-
phone rates, and hearing on the same
before the Public Service Commission
is to be held September 10th, 1913,
and
"WHEREAS-The Chesapeake aIll
Potomac Telephone Company ltls no

absorbed its only competitor thuS
leaving the public without the check
of competition and at its mercy for
telephone service, and
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. increas-
es we're recently made in the rates
of said company, and
"WHEREAs-The high cost OF
living has become such menace to
the peace and prosperity of this
country that the government OF the
United States is earnestly endeavor-
ing to cause it to lie reduced, arA
"WHEREAS-If the said increases
in rates are g,Elnted, It'll will still fur
ther increase the cost of living, and
"WHEREAS-The same interests
that control the elephone service in
this community having offered re-
ductIon in rates in the State of New
York. it would seem that this COM
munity is being Disseminated against,
