LABOR CONFERENCE SELECTS WILSON
 AS PRESIDENT
Eight-Hour Day vs. Forty-Eight Hour Week Issue to Provoke
 Fight.

Washington, Oct. 31.-Completing It's permanent organization with the election of Secretary of Labor Wilson of the United States as president, the international labor conference to- day proceeded to the formulation of a program of work with appointment of commission of selection to act as a steering committee"
 Although the conference adjourned tonight until Monday, the commits sion will devote itself in the mean time to mapping out the method of work and to the choosing of the various committees to which the five items of the agenda will be referred for study and report.
 At short meeting today after the conference session, Arthur Fon- talne of France, chairman of the or ganizing committee, was elected presiding officer of the commission and preliminary discussion was had on it's work.
 When the conference reconvenes on Monday, fight is expected over the relative advantage of a straight elght-hour day as compared with a 4S-hour week. The latter was recom- mended by the organizing committee as a result of it's analysis of ex- pressions of opinions from all the governments represented in the con- ference. This committee, in it's re- port, declares that the 48-hour week allowed more elasticity in the ar engagement of hours of work, facili- tates the adoption of half holidays on Saturday, and of a weekly rest day. A number of the labor dele gates, however, plan to make fight for the straight eight-hour day.

 TWO WHITE MEN
Circuit Judge Says Citizens Must Aid in Enforcement
 of Law.

When Jim Stephens and Frank Huntley, were acquitted by d jury Tn circuit court yesterday on an in- dictment charging false pretense. Circuit Judge W. B. Sorrells chideo the jurors, saying the citizens could not expect enforcement of the laws unless they were willing to do their duty and cooperate with the prosecuting attorney and other off cials in the effort to stamp out law lessness. Stephens and Huntley were accused of obtaining $15 from Dave Joe and Katie Joe, negroes, by falsely pretending they were the owners of a hog.
 Will Brown ,who affixed the name of Lowe Thompson and G. R. Thom- as to different checks, was convicted by a jury of forgery and uttering, and sentenced to serve four years.

 Robert Johnson, charged with as saulting with intent to kill Frank Hudson, failed to appear for trial, and his bond of $500 was declared forfeited.
 Court will not be in session today, and jurors on the regular panel were released until Monday morning, when the case of Ed Morris, charged with murder, is set for trial. Morris killed Andrew White at the plant of the Arkansas Oak Flooring company one afternoon last May. He said he had gone there to talk over" with White the latter's alleged relations with his (Morris') wife, and that in the discussion, White made threatening motion.

American Envoy
 Lives in Palace
 of Prague Bishop

Prague, Oct. 31.-When Richard Crane, the newly appointed United States minister to Ozecho-Slovakia formerly secretary to Secretary ol State Lansing, took up his post in Prague, the government of the new republic assigned to him the magni- ficent palace of the cardinal arch bishop of Prague, on the heights of Hradcany overlooking the city, di- rectly across the way from the na- tional capital.
 The palace was vacant because the cardinal archbishop had been an Aus trian prince, and when the revolution of October 2S, 19lS-the Czech Fourth of July-took place, he was invited to leave along with all the rest of the Autsor- Hungarian nobil- ity, and complied.
 MT. Crane found around the state dining room pictures of the former cardinal archbishops in all the yer million and purple of thelr robes. In the audience chamber was great throne, above which hung large and splendid portrait of Pope Benedict XVI. In the big reception rooms leading off from it, he discovered a lot of North American Indians dis porting themselves all over a set of priceless Gobelin tapestries, with here and there an ear-rlnged negro slave.
 1t seems that the Gobelins had originally been ordered and delivered to the hten Empress Maria Theresa of Austria. They were sent to Prague c. o. D., and the price of the bill staggered even her imperial majesty. Belng somewhat short of funds, she was about to send them back, when the then cardinal arch bishop, being noble of ample private means, offered to take them off her hands. The empress gladly assented and the Gobelins have remained a part of the furnishings of the hand some old house.
 So the United States minister re- ceives his guests and gives his inter- views with the eighteenth century French conceptions of the original Americans" looking down upon him from the walls.

Move to Restrict
 Fishing for Salmon

Seattle, Nov. 1.-Restrictions of salmon fishing in Southwestern Alas ka streams as a means of stopping the depletion of the northern terri tory's supply of salmon has been proposed. The department of com merce has ordered a hearing on the proposal to be held at the Seattle of flee of the United States bureau of fisheries, November 20.
 All the Alaska streams between Cape Spencer, not far from Juneau, and Cape .Sarichef, on the western tip of Unimak Island, will be af- fected by the proposed order if it is made into law.
 Reports received by officials of the fisheries bureau indicate that fisher men are going up the streams to the spawning grounds for some of their fish. As result the schools of sal mon are being depleted.

Dartmouth Col gate Hold Center of
 Interest in East

New York, Oct. 31.-A further re- duction of the eastern college cham pionship football field may be ex- pected from the games to be played tomorrow. Interest particularly cen- ters in the Dartmouth Colgate game at Hanover, N. H., for both these powerful elevens have swept all be- fore them to date.
 Colgate has defeated Brown, Cor nell and Princeton, without being scored upon. The most impressive of Dartmouth's five victories are those at the expense of Pennsylvania State and Cornell.
 The other contests which stand out in the days schedules involving un- defeated combinations are the Penn- sylvania- Pennsylvania State and the h-Pittsburgh games.

From that time TO this the Armenian

still separate. distinct, unabsorbed,
stubbornly Christian.
The Armenian had no national state
to rally round but he had a church In
this clinging TO .his church and thus
clinging TO his nationality through
centuries lies the secret OF the Armen-
ian's success. No outburst OF perse-
cution has succeeded in shaking him
from his national faith. Through thick
and thin, fair weather and foul the
Armenian has stuck TO the church.

In business life the Armenians were
successful They were also industrious
farmers and made Asia Minor a we'll

Although their ability in money
making did not help them to popular

successful Turk, the Armenians on
the whole had no particular trouble.

fore 1875. Then Abdul Hamid III came
to the throne. engaged in the Russo
Turkish war. and signed the Treaty OF
San Stefano. in which Russia engaged
to carry out reforms for and to pro-
tect the Armenians.
England thought this treaty gave
Russia too large finger in Turkeys
pie and too much Eastern influence
4 TO be comfortable. so Gladstone forced
the substitution OF the Treaty OF Ber-
lin In 1878 for that OF San Stefano,
by which the responsibility for the
Armenians was divided.
This was bad luck for the Armen-
iahs. since their sponsors, the concert
OF Europe. found it impossible to act
together. BY various efforts at inter
ference they reused Abdul Hamid S
temper and defiance, and that irritated
monarch. like a bad tempered child
with too much power. decided to kill
of the harmless subjects In whom
other European powers had so incon-
venient an interest An outbreak OF
CHASTITY massacre was the result, the
first OF series which we saw cul-
minated in 1915.

SOLDIERS SEEKS
MAID Who GAVE
HIM A RED TIE

Girls, here is Romance for you;
Rose-Red Rromance, carefully pre-
served and nurtured in the silken
folds of a scarlet kerchief; Romance
that has weathered the scar-torn bat
tlefelds of Europe; that had its be-
ginnings here in this peaceful South
ern town, where for a moment man
and maid met and parted, the man
carrying with him, as a memento, a
MILDLY tie-a red MILDLY tie which
inspired him at Belleau Wood, on the
Marbauch front and was his beloved
talisman during the victorious Meuse-
Argonne offensive.
In June 1917 the 136th Field Ar
tillery came thru Abbeville, detrain-
ing here. One, Henry A. Wencker,
Akron, Ohio, the hero, was member
of this unit. While here he met a
girl, dressed in a MILDLY blouse
among other things-and adding
color to the blouse was red silk
kerchief. AS will be remembered
things moved rapidly in those stirring
times; man and maid came to terms
suaviter ct celeriter. The meeting
and parting were one, poignant with
emotion, and too brief for even an
exchange of names; but as the train
was moving out the girl pulled off her
red MILDLY tie and gave it to the SOL
dier, who folded it carefully and put
it in his blouse, a blushing keepsake
of his rapid romance. Manlike, he
did not realize that he had forgotten
to ask the maiden's name until after
the train was passing around the
curve.
And now comes the letter in quest
of the girl:
