Death Of Mrs George Fell.

Mrs. George Bell died Wednesday
morning at her home, 215 North Lam
sing street, after an illness of two
years and nine months with cancer
Mrs. Bell was born in Merworth
England, and came to Owosso from
her native land 80 years ago. She and
Mr.. Bell were married at the Owosso
Episcopal church 26 years ago by
Rev. Roosevelt, then rector of the
church. She had been a lifelong
member of the Episcopal church. An
exemplary wife and mother and a wo-
man who was generally highly regard
ed for qualies that make the word
friendship almost sacred. Mrs. Bell
will be missed by many in Owosso
and vicinity.
Surviving with the husband are one
son, George William Bell, of Owosso
and brother in England.
The funeral will be held Friday AT
2 o'clock at the residence, Rev. w. r.
Blachford of Christ Episcopal church,
officiating.

remembers that her northern indus
tries have been destroyed systemati-
cally by the Germans, machinery re-
moved, cattle and livestock stolen,
vineyards and orchards killed, and
everything possible done to dstroy her
future trade competition with Ger
many. Unless the Germans are held
back until France can recuperate her
losses she will be at the commercial
mercy of the Huns. The Frenchmen
know that Clemenceau stands between
them and financial ruin in the future.
The benefits of the fight that he is
now making for the industrial roger
GRAFTON of his country, free from Ger
man interference, if his efforts are sue
cessful, will be enjoyed by his coun-
trymen for years to come, and make
of Premier Clemenceau the hero not
only of the French people but of all
who believe that exact justice should
be the lot of friend and foe alike"

SHIPPERS ARE TO BLAME

| Nearly thousand shipments day
are sent to the "No Mark Bureaus
of the express company, because all
means of Identification have been lost,
according to a statement made at the
! Better Service Campaign meeting of
the local express employees today. At
this rate $4,000 shipments month or
100000 year go astray because tags
or labels have been torn off, thus re-
moving all means of locating either
the shipper or the consignee.
Agent T. A. Bowling, who conduct
ed the meetings of vehicle men, plat
form men and Office employees laid en-
phasis on the fact better packing and
better marking would cure this evil.
AS everything movable is sent by ex-
press, the No Mark bureaus are great
SUNK Shops" containing lot of mis-
cellaneous material which the ex-
press company has gathered together
because delivery was made impossible
due to inadequate marking and pack
ing. From July LIST, to November 30,
last year, 1859 shipments were re-
ceived by the no mark bureaus, all of
which were entirely without mark, or
bore addresses that could not be made
out, or consigned to destinations that
did not exist. The size Of an article
makes no difference so far as these
bureaus are concerned, for even aero.
planes, heavy machinery and big cast
ings sometimes go astray for the lack
of an address.
Pointing out the tremendous growth
of the express business in recent years
Agent T. A. Bowling stated that more
than 300,000,000 shipments year are
being handled by the American Rail
way Express Company, which is
operating the express business on all
the railroads of the country. About
1876, 900 employees are now engaged in
various branches of the service.
He declared that this made it the
most extensive transportation organi-
zation in the world and that the CEN
tralized management has made il
possible to strengthen and better the
service since the merger Of the pre-
viously separate lines, The consoli-
dation has also cleared the way for an
aggressive drive to improve internal
operating conditions and methods, and
the Better Service Campaign is the
first step in this direction.

ANARCHISTS GOT THE AXE

In the latter part of the eighteenth
century Anarchists Clootz conceived
the idea of a union of all nations in
one family. He spent fortune in the
promotion of the scheme. When the
French revolution broke upon the
world he saw in it his opportunity, and
made many addresses in support of his
plan. On every side he was hailed
with enthusiasm and greeted with
storms of applause. His popularity
was at it's height in 1890, but history
tells us that in short four years his
theories had been repudiated and on
March %, 1894, he was condemned to
death and executed.

Every one casts a shadow. There
hangs about us sort of ,penumbra-a
strange, indefinable something-which
we call personal influence. which has
its effect on every other life on which
1t falls. 1t goes with us wherever we
go. 1t is not something we can have
when we will. as we lay aside a gar
ment. 1t is like something that al

conference will grant her wish. Up to
date, however, there has been no an
nouncement Of the disposition Of AL
SAGE and Lorraine, and until their case
has been settled it would appear to be
premature, to say the least, for the
United States to treat their residents
any differently from those OF other
territory occupied by our armies.

LET SENATORS REMEMBER
THEIR SOLEMN OATHS

Washington, Feb. 25.-The Repub-
Hcan Publicity Association, through
its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr., today gave out the following
statement from its Washington Head
quarters:
"When a Senator takes his seat in
the upper House of Congress ne SUBJ
scribes to an oath as follows:
"T do solemnly swear that l will
support and defend the Constitution
of the United States against all enc
mics, foreign and domestic; that / will
bear true faith and allegiance to the
same; that / take this obligation free
Iy, without any mental reservation OF
purpose of evasion; and that will
well and faithfully discharge the du-
ties of the office on which ! am about
to enter; so help me God
ain the near future Senators, bound
by that oath, will be called upon to
pass judgment on so-called treaty of
peace with the Central Powers of
Europe, the chief feature of which
will be most comprehensive propos-
al for a league of nations. If that
document contains provisions contra
dictory to the plain letter of the Con-
stitution it is the manifest duty of
the Senate to reject it forthwith. In
that light it should be first consider
ed, leaving questions of policy until
after the limitations of the Constitu-
ton have been applied to it.
"Our Constitution gives Congress
the right TO raise and support armies
- to provide and maintain a navy
"The Constitution of the league of
nations contains the following: mo
state shall be admitted to the league
unless it shall conform to such
principles as may be prescribed by
the league in regard to it's naval and
military forces and ornaments.
The executive council shall formulate
plans for such reductions (of arma-
ments) and these limits when
the permission of the executive coun-
cil.'
@Our Constitution says that Con-
gress may declare war;
"The constitution of the league
stipulates that the high contracting
parties agree that = they will in no
case resort to war;
"Our Constitution lays upon Con.
gress the duty ito make rules for the
government and regulation of the land
and naval forces
"The constitution of the league
reads, 1T shall be the duty of the exc
cutive council to recommend what
effective military or naval forces the
members of the league shall severally
contribute to the armed forces to be
used to protect the covenants Of the
league
"Our Constitution, in prescribing
the powers of the President, says that
He shall have power, by and with the
advice and consent of the Senate, to
make treaties
"The constitution of the League
says that No such treaty. or interna-
tional obligation shall be binding un-
til so registered with the secretary
general of the league).
"Manifestly the proposed constitu-
ton of the league of nations hesitates
at no point in contravening the Con-
stitution Of the United States. That
being fact, it cannot be successfully
maintained that Senators can vote for
such proposition and at the same
time remain faithful to the solemn
oath which they took without reserva-
tion when they entered upon their
terms of Office"
