the home of j. L. Stadler in Pekin,
this county, on Thursday, August IA,

One hundred and twenty members

set, on the veranda and also under a
tent to accommodate the joyous
throng who partook of the abundance
of the good things provided and felt
to say Lord, it is good to be here"
Not only the menu provided, but the
spirit Of kindness and the splendid
hospitality of the host and hostess,
who left nothing undone to serve and
please all, made all feel that Mr.. Stad-
Ter and wife are ideal in this role.
After the dinner had been served
and many were almost too full for
utterance, the business and literary
program was given. MIR. Stadler,
president, Was.in the char and Mrs.

trace back the military history Of our
ancestors. (The following faets were
collected by E. N. Gibbs, of Kepton,
Ohio.)
Back in the early years Of the 18th
century, three brothers named Gibbs
came to this country from England.
They were shipwrecked and separated
and did not meet for a number of
years after they reached this country.
Two of the brothers went to Virginia,
while Joseph Gibbs, who was born in
1927, located in one of the New Eng
land states. This Joseph Gibbs was
man Of note and was long known
as Lieutenant Gibbs. He served with
that rank on the staff of Gen. George
Washington, during the Revolutionary
war. On September II, 1749, he was
married to Elizabeth Palmer. One of
their sons,- Benjamin (my grand
father) was born in Cambridge, Mass.

.$25O,OOO FIRE
 IN HARTFORD
Fifty High Priced Automo- piles Are Burned
 Up.

Hartford Conn, Feb. 13.---Fifty high-prtced automobiles were de- stroyed and the two-story brick build ing at No. S3O Maple avenue wrecked by fire shortly after two o'clock this
 morning in the auto painting shop Of John J. RocheI & Co. The damage IS estimated at S250,000.
 Exploding gasoline and benzine, the fierce heat radiating from the burn ing building and the fact that there
 was but one hydrant within almost a
 quarter of a mile of the fire ham, pered the firemen greatly. Salvage of any cars was impossible. The blaze was discovered by Philip Roche, son of the president of the company, while busy in the office. Roche smelled smoke and, looking into the shop, saw the whole interior in flames. Explod- ing gasoline and benzine then carried the flames to all parts of the build
 ing.
 | MT. Roche was unable today to tell
 accurately how the fire originated.
 He thought 1t might have been due to
 a short electric circuit in one of the | cars.

SOLDIER PROVES
 ALIEN ENEMY

Conflicting rules governing the ad- mission to citizenship Cf aliens hold ing honorable discharges from the army of the United States proL- pted Judge Greene in the Naturalization Court this morning to continue the case of Lajos Deutsch, Hungarian.
 Deutsch, Hungarian, was given a discharge from the American army on February 12, 1918. on account of being an alien enemy. On May 2S, 1918, he filed an application for citi- zenship but never made declaration. The law reads, ". within six months after discharge, while on fur tough or while serving in the army of the United States" a soldier may be admitted to citizenship without having made a previous declaration. An interpretation of the words, while serving" might be construed as having served" and the court in the hope of finding a. precedent and a case in point, decided to continue the matter for further action.

 Letvia announces its separation from Russia and announced, in Jan- uary, 1919, at the constituent assem- bly of Russia, the constitution of an independent and sovereign Lettish state.
 The Lettish delegation sent to the Peace Conference will participate in the conference at Prinkipo in or der to:
 Make peace with Russia, this peace to be recognized by the great Allied Powers.
 II-Regulate, under the auspices of the great Allied. Powers, the poli- tical and economic affairs as they re- suit from the separation of Letvia and Russia.
 III-Make treaties in and talk. the necessary steps< toward the es- tablishment of states
 The Esthonian reply was:
 "On January 22, the Peace Conf"r- ence adopted a resolution by which . the bounds of what was Russia be- fore the war were asked to meet the representatives of the Allied Powers at Princes Islands, February 15. The resolution closed with @ request for a reply to this invitation from the in terested parties.
 Therefore, the Esthonian delega- tton considers it g. duty to bring to the attention of the Peace Conference, in the name of the Esthonian govern 1nent, the following:
 " The Dsthonian people, by the in- termediary of it's national council, which springs from universal suffrage determined to separate from Russia and thereupon proclaimed ESthonia an Independent republic. The govern ment has been provisionally recog- nized by the English, French and Italian governments. Not only does the Esthonian government exert it's authority independent of any Russian government, but for three months, af- ter having regular army, it has been at war with the Russian Soviet Con- munist republic.
 " Therefore, we in nowise consider ourselves a part of Russia, although we accept the invitation of the Allied Powers and of the United States tu go to Princes Islands We believe that the participation of the representa- lives Of Esthonia and of the con- nlunist republic of Russian Soviets of importance to the future relations be- tween Russian and the Esthonian re. publjc.'"
