On the very day that the Jewish

Gus news from London that the San
Reno Conference decided to accept the
Balfour Declaration as international
policy, the Jew-hating ruffians Of the
city began to give expression to po-

for the Jews, but II was transformed
into q day Of grave concern and Of

have carried Into effect the treaty clauses
relating to the rights OF mlnorities and to

brethren In Eastern Europe. To maintain
such work In the future II Is necessary to

this is one OF tn emany reasons for hav-

are back OF the demand for immediate
and effective action calculated to make a
complete end OF the legal disabilities and
the insecurities under which our brethren
In Eastern Europe still live. The Jewish

formulated In behalf OF this Conference.
We ask you TO consider these matters
thoroughly and TO make these questions

Washington, Nov. 12.-Officials high

Of nations are seriously considering
offering President Wilson an eminent
post, possibly that of titular head Of
the organization upon his retirement
from office, according to information
that reached Washington from Lon
don today.
When asked about this report Sec
rotary Of State Colby said he knew
nothing about it and that anyway 1t
is a matter entirely for the White
House. Officials at the White House
stated no word OF the movement
has yet reached the president.
The league as now organized, it
was pointed out here today, is with
out an official head, the nearest
approach TO such an officer being Sir
Eric Drummond, the secretary, who
has offices in London and who can
hardly be regarded as a powerful
figure in world affairs.
AS originator of the league and as
an American Of pronounced interna-
tional tendencies, many friends OF
that organization abroad seems to
feel that President Wilson would be

To make good as head OF n big gov

steady devotion TO the job and neglect
OF private interests. lannon's posses

ergy probably could expand their
value by several million dollars dur

argue, reasonably, that he couldn't
afford TO enter the cabinet.

Ardmore is Inundated over the
manner in which Armistice Day was
celebrated.
lndiscf!minate firing of pistols and
guns endangered life and destroyed
property.
On this occasion two years ago there
may have been some slight excuse for
the firing of loaded guns. When the
news Of the ceasing Of hostiities
reached us. fear subsided that pent
up feeling gave way and the glory
of the homecoming of the boys that
still lived awoke the people to thanks
giving and praise and there was ring
ing Of bells and firing of arms.
But when the people have time
to plan q celebration there is no ex-
cuse for using destructive and dan
gerous methods.
The service men were Inundated
IL possible, more than other class of
citizens. The day as they had planned
ii was TO be more in the nature of
memorial exercises. 1t was a day TO
honor the memories OF those left
behind in Flanders Field. and "a proper
remembrance of the dead does not
consist in firing bullets promiscously.
Hotel Ardmore suffered damage that
will require thousand dollars to re-
pair. electric light wires were severed
by bullets, lamp globes were broken
Young women unsliilled in the
handling Of pistols fired guns in the
streets II was shameful; it was dis
graceful; IL was dangerous, and 1t
sets q precedent for carrying guns
and for using them in other occa-
sions of the same kind and 1t is a
precedent that deserves to be destroy

mony or excuse.
