G. A. R. AGAINST
ACCEPTANCE OF
PEACE treaty
Ratification Opposed by Vet
erans-Merger Of All War
Veterans Voted Down.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 13.-Resolu-
tions opposing ratification by the Unit
ed States of the peace treaty in its
present form We're adopted almost
unanimously here Friday by delegates
attending the annual encampment OF
the Grand Army of the Republic.
The resolutions were presented by
William A. Ketcham Of indianapolis,
past judge advocate OF the G. A. r,
and were adopted after a debate last
ing all morning. The chair ruled that
the resolutions could not be acted
upon because they were of political
nature
The convention overruled the chair
and brought them to a vote. Nearly
every delegate voted in favor of them.
The veterans declared their action
was not political, but in accord with
their policy for 100 per cent American
ism. They said they were opposed to
engaging in any entangling alliances
and were unwilling to sacrifice any de-
gree Of Americanism for the sake of
the league Of nations.
There were loud cries of mo, No,
when a resolution was read proposing
the consolidation of the G. A. R.. the
Spanish war veterans and the Ameri-
can Legion. The resolution was re-
ferred to a committee, and delegates
said it would be voted down.
By unanimous vote, resolution was
adopted declaring that The Grand
Army of the Republic shall live as
long as one comrade remains upon
this earth"

Ministers of Richmond
Pulling---Moybe Praying,
For Reds to Win Series

Among the hottest supporters of
the Cincinnati Reds in this Red-hot
town are the ministers of practically
all the churches.
dozen of them called at random on
the phone Saturday were practically
unanimous in their hope that the Reds

pennant, although some of them would
not permit their names to be used.
Here's what they say:
Rev. H. S. James Of the U. B.
church-"Although not much Of a

Cincinnati, for after forty years she is
at last successful. l hope she wins

Hope and Think"

Thus ends the fourth attempt of the

an American. Mike, who is IA years
old, has numerous friends among the

him to get adopted by a rich New

caused him to be returned to the i'm

Smoke-Laden Air Raises
Death Rate in Cities

An old proverb, says that where
there's smoke there's fire, and if we
put disease" in place Of fire" the
proverb is equally true. Where is the
death rate highest? In manufacturing
towns. Yet it is in these towns where
sanitation is at its best. What is it
then, which keeps the death rate SO
high if not the smoke laden atmos-
phere, which not only vitiates the air,
but cuts off two-fifths of the light?
The amount of solid matter poured
into the air chimneys is almost I'M
believable, and if we town jewellers
could see our own lungs, we should be
startled. They show that for years
we have breathed impure, smoke laden
air.
Indeed, lung complaints are dissipat-
ed and cured by clean, pure air even
If it be icy cold, and consumption is
said to be unknown in the Arctic Cir
Gle; yet we know that there are twice
as many deaths from lung maladies
in urban as in rural districts
The factor which makes this start
ling difference is the smoke. Surely
this is one of the main argument for
sweeping away the wasteful and dirty
