League of Nations
 Will Not Meet in
 the U. s. in October

Washington, Sept. 8-It is now virtually certain that the first meet ing of the league of nations will not be held in Washington in October as originally planned.
 The exact date depends upon the action of the United States senate in regard to ratification of the peace treaty containing the covenant which creates the league. Should the sen- ate ratify the treaty in time to per- init delegates to arrive for a meeting in November, it probably will be held then, but if the discussion is much protracted, the meeting time is ex- pected to go over until the first of the new year, some time in January, 1920. There probably could be no meeting in December because of cir- cumstances which might make it in-. convenient for some of the foreign. delegates to come at that time.

 States.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Sept S.-Declar- ing that pro-G -Germanism again had lifted it's head in this country, Presi- dent Wilson said in an address here tonight that e"every element of chaos" was hoping there would be mo stsadying hand" placed on the worlds affairs.
 "I want to tell you" said the presi- dent, "that within the last two weeks, the pro-German element in the United States again has lifted its head"
 This element. saw a chance, he said, by keeping their nation out of the league of nations, to make possible again what Germany had tried to do
 in the great war. It was clean cut issue, MT. Wilson declared, between this new order or the old German order.
 Declaring the peace treaty provis- ion for an international labor con- ference would give labor a new bill of rights, the president declared the treaty was 'laboring mans treaty." in the sense that it was treaty drawn up for the benefits of the common people.
 The political settlements them- selves. said the president, were made for the peoples concerned. He as- serted that the document laid down i forever the principle that no territory ever should be governed except as the people who lived there wanted it governed
 "That is an absolute reversal of history" said the president. land it's all in the league of nations" Standing Alone Costly. High taxes. large standing army and a military government in spirit" would be required, he said, | if the United States should follow the advice of some men and "stand by

 The "certain way" to have troubled between capital and labor. said the president. was for them to refuse to discuss their differences. He said he could not understand how man could refuse to discuss his case un- less he was wrong. The same rule,
 he declared. applied to differences be- tween nations.
 America could stay out of the league said the president. but it would be at the expense of the peace of the world
 America is necessary" he added, "to the peace of the world. And the
 peace and confidence of the world are necessary to America"

Mysterious Thief With Peculiar Tastes Takes Only Fine Ferns from Pine Bluff
 Homes; Several Residences Are Robbed

Many reams of good paper have been consumed by writers telling of the antics of the Gentleman Jim burglar. The movies have taken the theme. and behold we have a Kid Glove Willie. who disports himself in his own dress suit and taps and till while the buffers back is turned, only to return the money and marry the girl in the fade out.
 Dear old public has become fairly familiar with the Gentleman Jim sort, and they realize the light fin gered gentry of that class have, to say the least, better taste than the mere vu'ear stick-up.
 Pine Bluff, however. is becoming familiar with some of the antics of a super-gentleman Jim-a man of clas- sic taste; man with an asthetic na- ture. who loves the beautiful things of life. evidently, and confines his activities to pilfering only the finer of natures goods.

 "1 suppose it is because the way the American boy is raised, due to the fact that he is encouraged to develop his initiative and that he feels at any crisis of his life that he is master of his own destiny"
 The interview, brought about in the hope that the general might be willing 10 express his views upon such subjects as the Leaoue of Ma tions. the situation in Europe and in Mexico, what he intended doing when he entered civil life when he exnected to retire from the army, and similar questions, was precer- ed by a general handshaking all around and remark by General Pershino that all such topics were taboo"

The general had just finish ed luncheon after a little rest to re- fresh himself after the arduous hours of the morning and he said that while he was glad to meet all the newspaper men, he could answer only such questions as properly came within the range of his profess sion. re.s

Washington, Sept. 8.-Marked in dications of a compromise in the sen. ate controversy over reservations to the league of nations covenant came today from both democratic and re-

A. B. F. Leader, Stern Through War, Loses Self Control at
 Greeting.

New York, Sept. 8.-America well colned General Pcrshing hor.e today.
 Honored by foreign rulers and gov ernments, the commander in chief of the mightiest army that ever fought it's way to victory under the stars and stripes returned to his own folk to meet greater honor than any for eign potentate or power could confer the thanks of the worlds greatest democracy, to the man who had plan ned the decisive blow in democracy's supreme fight against tyranny.
 The stern-faced soldier who had maintained his iron self-control amid the shambles of the Mouse and the blood -drenched forest of Argonne was not proof against the tribute of praise and gratitude which was brought from hundreds of thousands of throats and hearts of his fellow citizens.
 His voice trembled with emotion as he responded to the greetings ex- tended by Secretary of War Baker in his own behalf and that of the president. as well as the welcoming address of representatives of the sen ate and house.
 His car passed slowly through the cheering multitudes which jammed Broadway from the Battery to the city hall, General Pershing attempted in vain to maintain his composure At first he replied to the chores with the stiff salute while military eti- ouette demands. but he was soon car ried away by the storm of applause which swept in great gusts about him. Rising to his feet, he waved his cap about his head with a boyish ges- ture which told how deeply he was stirred. while the grim lines of his bronzed face broke into smile which was as infectious as it was rare.
 It was a proud moment for the great American soldier but proude1 still remains. New York did not ex- haust it's welcome today-Wednesda he will ride down Fifth avenue at the head of the First division of the reg ulars; the first to go and the last to leave, victors in the first battle ever foupht on European soil by American soldiers. -.

ones from the three institutions
were gathered on the ST. Thomas
Orphanage grounds for the first an

contributed their services and Chair
man John Doyle and the Knights
were untiring in their efforts to
make this day, which will be fol-
lowed at the other homes in rota-

anxiously looked for. Many amuse-

everything was done to make the
dependent little ones happy. Am
excellent programme was presenteG
and was enjoyed to the fullest by
large numbers of grown people and

square deal and capital, if it be
wise, will meet them more than half
way. II is therefore safe TO say that
organized labor is not responsible
for the sending of those Internal
machines through the mails. Nay
more, we venture to say that the
Socialist party has had no hand in
the business. The Socialists form
recognized political party and it
is not reasonable to assume that
they would jeopardize their politi-
cal existence by fathering outrages
of a peculiarly cowardly and diaboli-
cal nature We think the authori-
ties should look outside of these
groups of workers for the would-be
assassins. Congress should make
the sending through the mails Of
packages which may cause injury to
the receiver thereof a capital Of
Tense. The knowledge that heir
punishment will be swift and sure
and deadly will no doubt have
good effect on the murderous ex-
tremists.

ENGLAND UNCOVERs.

Gen. Haigs report belittling and
ignoring Americas part in the wal
comes as no surprise and represents
the typical John Bull attitude to
wards the United States To refute
the British statement. let us quote
from others equally as well equipped
to discuss the war. Marshal Joffre
in a public address on December
10, 1918, said:
France owes an immense debt
of gratitude to America which gave
us victory"
on September 10, 1918, Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg, of the
German army, said.
owing to the arrival of the
Americans in unexpected numbers,
we have had to yield territory; our
strategic plan has been arrested for
the moment If the battles now be-
ing fought were on German soil it
would be much more painful than
It is to give up villages"
No later than last Sunday Gus
tave Noske. the German Minister of
National Defense, said in Berlin;
1T was America which won the
war for the Allies-inot France or
England.
The attempt of England to forget
Americas part in the war comes
with bad grace from the nation
which was whining for help this
time last year and talking about
lighting with their backs to the
WALL" but it has one good effect
it silences the pro-English press on
this side and the "hands-across-the

MURDERoUs EXTREMISTS.

T he long distance assassins,
otherwise those who send internal
machines through the mails, should
get short shrift, whenever and
wherever found Lynch law would
be none too good for them. At the
same time we can not too emphati-
caliy condemn the tendency of the
reptile press to attribute these muir
derous manifestations of discomfort
to organized labor of any kind As
matter of fact, the labor unions
are the strongest barrier against So
cialism and anarchy that the nation
has and the sooner employers rec
ognize this the better it will be for
themselves. Unfortunately. how
ever. the big employer who has
trouble with a union does not
hesitate TO denounce it as an
anarchistic and. more recently,
as a Bolsheviki organization.
Tactics of this kind are dan
gerous as they are dishonest, and If
persisted in will eventually force the
lnions from their conservative moor
ngs, particularly if the authorities
AXE the capitalistic view and act
accordingly. The unions only ask a

IRELAND IN THE WAR.

A woman writing in one of the
daily papers says she can not un-
derstand why Ireland should be
considered in the peace settlement,
and wants to know if Ireland didn't
hinder the Allies. The writer might
investigate and find out from the
British war records that Ireland,
with population of $4,000, fur
nished $4,000 volunteers and in
the same proportion the United
States would have furnished be-
tween 100000 and 100000. The
wonder is that Ireland furnished a
single soldier when it is considered
that England in the past century
has abolished trial by jury, habeas
corpus. freedom of the press and
the rights of the people. And today
here is correspondents descrip-
ton of the scene in an Irish town:
"Barbed wire entanglements were
set up, armored cars whirled about
the town, airplanes overhead, ma
chine guns carried hither and
thither, and the streets patrolled
day and night by armed soldiers
wearing trench helmets and carry
ing fixed bayonets."

JAMES NJ. HEATING.

James M. Heating, who passed
away at his home in Asheville, N.
c., was we'll known in louisville,
having spent the greater part of his
life here, and had many friends who
will deeply regret to learn of his
death. The deceased was born in
Ireland on April 26, 1864, and came
TO this coutry when quite a small
boy with his parents, who located
first in Marion county and later
came to Louisville to reside. Ten
years ago he went to ST. Petersburg,
Florida. where he was married to
Miss Ona Logan Hudson, who also
was formerly a resident of Louis
Vile. He resided in st. Petersburg
for six years, later going to Ashe-
Vile, N. c., in search of health. Mr..
Heating was typically Irish, and al
though his heart was staunch and
true TO his adopted country. he ever
manifested a vital interest in the
progress and welfare of his native
land. and his heart was deeply cen
tered in the freedom of Ireland and
its struggle for independence and
self-gOYernment. His charity of
thought high ideals and considera-
tion for others were among the most
pronounced traits of his Christian
character The fortitude with which
he bore his last years of suffering
his cheerfulness and resignation
we're an inspiration to all who came
in contact with him. and was mute
testimony of the Christian who was
ready ito answer the call when it
came.
Funeral services were conducted
at St Lawrence's church in Ashe-
vile, with interment in the Ashe-
vile Riverside cemetery. He is sur
vived by his wife and one sister,
Miss Mary Heating. of Asheville, and
four nephews and two nieces, of
the children of his broth
er, the late p. J. Heating, who died
two months ago.

SANDY BREATHEs oATHs.


Sandy Macpherson is in ireland
breathing fire and oaths and pre-
pairing. it may be, for another
slaughter of heroic people, simply
because. despite long and bitter per
secution. they have retained grit
enough to insist on their rights to
life, liberty and the pursuit of hap
piness. Everybody knows all about
Sandy. his origi. his training, his
knighthood, his peculiar prophylac-
tic care of the naughty Tommies and
all the rest of the moral rot which
entitle men to be elevated above
their decent fellows by blow from
a Kings sword. But nobody under
stands why Sandy should be so saw
age. just at present. Why breathe
fire? After all, Ireland is asking
for liberty only. And surely Eng
land can not object TO that. She
fought the world war for freedoms
sake and not for her own freedom
so much as for the freedom of small
defenseless nations, like Belgium.
Serbia and Ireland. And now, just
across the channel sit her delegates
in Paris, all aweary with their eff
forts to liberate the whole world
from tyranny. What can Sandy be
thinking of anyhow? asks America.
How dare he fly in the face of Bal
four. Cecil and those other apostles
of freedom. who spent Americas
money so lavishly in order to pull
the iron SHOE from the Kaiser's
foot? And is not Sandy afraid of
Mr.. Wilson he of the self-determi-
nation doctrine? or a truth. Sandy
is a brave man, he is stalking mis-
post and his knighthood for prinei-
pie. But if he intends to smite the
Irish once again he should do it
now, for some testy folk are actual
ly beginning to doubt England's
honesty and Mr.. Wilson's courage.
The world needs another proof of
both. And what better could be
given than more Irish blood, the
blood of poor. helpless people who
out of chains call to the nations
that they intend to get liberty.
More Irish blood by all means. The
Peace Conference will not be a sue
cess without it, The world will then
answer the politicians
