Beg Pardon.

In the account yesterday Of the ar.
rest of William Johnson and Joe
Smith. alias Joe O'Brien. a mistake
was made in the PERSONAL of the
parties who made the arrest.
Chief of Police LeRette was not
present at the time the arrest was
made. but Henry Thompson assisted
the assistant chief of police. George
Phillimore, in bringing the two men
to the city Jail, as also in making the
actual arrest in the Walbridge cul-
vert.
The reason LeRette was not pres.
ent was that he is on the night shift,
and had not reported for duty at the
time the arrest was made. Henry
Thompson gave the assistant chief
of police very efficient help in run,
ming down these two criminals.
The people of the neighborhood
feel safer now these two men are
safely in the county Jail Local au-
thorities as well as Mr. Thompson
deserve great credit for the way this
matter was handled.

Greater MarseiIIes Club Meeting.

The Greater Marseilles club held its
regular monthly meeting in the payil-
10 NOT the Marsatgwa Country Club
last evening. There were over thirty
members present, and the enthusiasm
that has prevailed in the club since its
beginning was manifest.
A good many questions of import
ance were discussed in which the club
intended to direct its energies A.
mOngst them were the conditions Of
the roads leading into the city, Now
that the Ivy Way is nearing com.
pletion providing for a paved road
east and west, 1t was deemed import
ant to consider what can be done with
the roads north and south, more par
ticularly the road leading to the north
prairie, on Highway.
1t was thought so important to have
this road put in better shape that a
committee on highways was appointed
The concensus Of opinion of the club
members was that that hill ought to
be Strengthened out, graded down to
true grade from the city limits on the
north to the foot of the hill.
There was some talk Of the need Of
Marseilles for local paper. though
there was no action in respect to this
matter
The committee on finance made a
report, to the effect that they had
raised for the treasury of the club
1924. and the committee had not
got through with their soliciting,
many not having yet been approached.
The committee was continued to finish
their work
The committee on markers reported
that they had so markers painted,
which were to be placed on all tn
prominent roads, north and south, east
and west. at intervals showing the
distance to Marseiles A black arrow
was painted so as to show the way to
this city. This committee had their
time extended so as to give oppor
tunity for completing their work,
The committee on the advertising
pamphlet or folder also reported, show
ing the progress made. though no def
mite plan had been adopted. The time
of this committee was extended for
further work
The committee on highways is as
follows: S. II. Montgomery, Chair
man; S. R, Lewis and Ray Hinch.
A membership committee was also
appointed, consisting of the following
Earl Gardner Chairman; Arthur Sim
mons, c. R. Edwards, Royal Allen and
Harold Linton.
After business was transacted, a
little informal lunch of ice cream, cake
and cigars were served. All officers
of the club were presenet, f. A. Coll
ms presiding, and T. r. Harrington
secretary.
The club vii meet hereafter once a
month on the second Wednesday, and
from the earnest interest displayed at
this meeting, it is certain that the in |
terests of Marseiles will be looked |
after in the future. both here and a.

HE OVERTIME WAR.

! viii somebody page the Greeks and
! Turks and tell them the war is over?
Everybody had supposed the world
| had had its fill of battle on or about
Nov. II, 1918, yet every time you pick
| up a newspaper you find the Greeks
and the Turkish nationalsts are still
at it. Why they should wish to carry
war into extra innings is mystery,
| each side having denied as malicious
rumor that the armies were insisting
upon fighting because of a union a.
greement giving them double pay for
overtime.
Mustapha Renal Pasha is still lead
ing the Turkish nationalists He is
four or five miles ahead of it, which
gives fair idea of his ability as a
runner.
Eski-Shehr is in the hands of the
Greeks. SO are the Brgh and Inch.
The problem now is 10 find out how
many letters are missing from the
names of these places and get the
Turks to put them back. Otherwise
the cause of correct spelling and pro-
ncunciation viii be set back many
years.
King Constantine is with his armies.
Since he was forced to check out and
fee to Switzerland some years ago,
the king never trusts his armies for
enough out of hearing to enable them
to talk about him. The king halted
the warsome weeks ago. it will be re-
called, on the ground that the bathing
facilities at the front were inadequate.
All the Turkish bath attendants were
with the Turkish army, naturally
Enough prisoners have been captured
however, to give the king his dali,
