Ed. Lewis Back From France.

Ed Lewis, DEBORAH boy and one
Of our volunteers in the great world
war arrived home last night from
France, where he spent 10 months.
He arrived in this country Jan. %,
and was mustered out yesterday at
Camp Dodge. He was a member of
Co. B 18th Infantry and went thru
some of the fierce battles. At the bat
tie of Scissors he was wounded bad
ly in the arm with shrapnel, but re-
covered from his wounds. Ed is
modest and won't talk much about
what he has gone through, but from
all reports we can say he was in the
thick of the fighting and contributed
his bit to free the world from the
rule of the Huns. He, is looking fine
and glad to be home, and his friends
are all pleased to see him.

MAIN TENANCE AND SHOP
MEN ASK PAY IN ACCORD
WITH VIII SON PRINCIPLE

Washington, Sept. 4.-Representa'
tiyes of the 900 members Of the
United Brotherhood of Maintenance of
Railway and Shop Workers asked the
wage board today to adjust their wages
in conformity with the principle laid
down by President Wilson last week in
approving adjustments for the railroad
shopmen.
The board was told that the men ad-
hered to the presidents decision that
there would be no increases of wages
while government agencies We're active
ly seeking to return economic condi-
tions to normal but that they felt the in
equalities in pay existing as between
the employees Of different railroad sys-
TENS could be corrected. The main
tenance.of way men and shop laborers,
the spokesman said, received the low
est rate of pay Of any class of EN-
poyes in the railroad service.
Decision to ask for an adjustment Of
their wages at this time was reached by
the men recently through a secret
ballot. 1t was announced that the
question of a general wage increase
would be considered at the annual con-
vention of the brotherhood at Detroit,
September 8.

Paris, Sept 4.-The Austrian delega.
tions has asked the peace conference
to extend the time allowed for an an.
swer to the terms Of peace by two days.
1t is probable the council will grant the
request. Answering according to the
covering letter was to be in the hands
of the conference on September Z, but
if the request is granted the answer
will not be required before Tuesday Of
next week.
Before leaving for Vienna Tuesday
night after receiving the final draft
of the Austrian peace treaty, Dr. Karl
Renner head of the Austrian delega-
ton, said that the communications
made to the Austrians by the peace con.
ference showed that the allies under
stood perfectly well the economic stu.
alton Of Austria and had adopted a
benevolent attitude i'm this connection.
He thought, however, that Austria in
her reply should again protest against
the rigor Of the territorial clauses in
the treaty.

DIR. GRAYSON PRONOUNCES
PRESIDENT IN PERFECT
HEALTH AS TRIP BEGINS

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 4.-t(On Board
President Wilson's Special Train).-
On his way to appeal directly to the
people for acceptance of the peace
treaty, President Wilson was speeding
westward today on the first leg of his
10000 mile speaking trip. His special
which left Washington ut o'clock last
night, had q clear track most OF the
way and made quick time.
The first day of the trip was one
of the most strenuous Of the
2G which will elapse before the presi'
dent returns to Washington. Speaking
in Columbus, Ohio, before noon, he
had arranged to go on to Indianapolis
in time To address u meeting there at
night.
Mr.. Wilson appeared in good trim
for his arduous speechmaking schedule
and was said by his physician, Rear
Admiral GraysOn, to be IN eNcelleht
health. He retired early last night al
ter Il talk with Secretary Tumuity re-
garding the points to be covered III
the Columbus speech and arranged dur
ing the morning to make further pre-
parations. He decided, however, 10
speak eXtemporaneously,
The speech at Columbus, being his
first utterance regarding the treaty
addressed directly to the people, was
expected by his advisers to strike the
keynote of his entire tour. Coullh'
bus was the farthest east OF the ~
cities on the schedule, and the address
there was to be one of the only Tour
to be deliy cred east of the MISSISSIPPI
river
The president dined with Mrs. WA.
son in their private car 'Mayflower
after the train left Washington last
night.
An elderly, graybearded man got III
conversation with the president JUST
before the train pulled out Of Denni
son, Ohio.
II wish you success on your trip,
he said. "It means great deal to me-
| lost two boys in the war and have
only one left. | am looking to you to
prevent future wars, SO he won't have
to CO."
Another man in the crowd remind
ed the president that Dennison had
voted against him in the past presi
Dental election, but would be for him
in 1920.

An 0KLAHOMAN FINDS
OWEN FOR PRESIDENT
POPULAR IN INDIANA

Oklahoma City, Sept. 4.-"The peo-
pie Of Indiana look very favorably up.
ON the candidacy of United States Sen
ator owen for the presidency in 1920"
and Dr. L. G. Griffith, head of the
department of English at the Alva
State Normal School who was in Okla
homa City yesterday enroute to Alva
after having spent the summer in the
HOosier state Dr. Griffith formerly
was a member Of the state board of
high school inspectors under the direc-
ton Of the state university.
"Owcn is regarded as a much bigger
man than the senator from Oklahoma
by residents of Indiana" said Doctor
Griffith. Il feel sure that with the
exception Of President Wilson no man
in Washington is regarded as highly
by lndianans as Senator owen. | Wis
tied many cities in the Hoosicr state,
and it was really quite surprising to
find that people with whom | talked
were so familiar with Senator ovens
accomplishments in congress and so
fayorably impressed with the probabil-
ity of the success Of his presidential
ambitions
Referring TO sentiment regarding the
League of Nations, DR.. Griffith said
that with the exception of republican
politicians and a few of "the always
dsgruntled,' the people Of Indiana
are for the peace treaty and the league
covenant The opposition are op-
posed to the league and the treaty
just because they are opposed to many
other things-they didn't do it.
found no one VINO could, in practical
and specific way, tell why the members
OF the senate opposing the measures
are opposed to them. The people Of
Indiana believe, as the majority Of the
people of oklahoma do, that the treaty
must be- ratified and the league cove
uumt must be approved. They also
realize that the opposition is matter
OF playing politics. | am Of the opin-
ion that. if there We're a referendum
vote ON the league and the treaty in
indiana, the lioosier state, despite It's
present republican complexion, would
turn over a tremendous majority en-.
| dorsing the presidents stand
I'm discussing the state political situ.
alton in Indiana, DR.. Griffith said
there is q well.defined dissatisfaction
with the administration. Governor
| Goodrich is blamed for the increase
! in taxes on farming land, which ranges
| from 70 to 100 per cent. The republi-
/ cans, he said, realize that they will
have a hard battle to hold THEN
strength in the state, and many are of
the opinion that a democratic general
victory is more than likely.
