were sent today to all National Guard
organizations in the State, compris-
ing about 1000 men, to put them
selves in readiness to entrain for the
Pittsburg coal field.
Col. Milton r. McLain, in charge
of the Adjutant Generals office dur
ing the absence of Adjt. Gen. Charles
|. Martin said orders will go out to-
day for a movement of five or six
companies to the coal field. No or
der for movement had yet been is
sued. Colonel McLain said At 9 a. m.
Pittsburg, Kans., Dec. 14.-Three
companies of the Kansas National
Guard are being modified for en-
trainment to Pittsburg for duty in
the coal field.
Orders for the mobilization of the
companies followed a call from
Sheriff Gould to the Governor this
morning.
While the State military authori-
ties were mobilizing compaies of the
National Guard the militant women
OF the Kansas mining field adherents
of Alexander Howat, were engaged
in the most ambitious campaign they
had so far attempted in their pro-
gramme by stopping, by violent ac-
tivities, the operation of coal mines
by men who responded to the call of
the international union for men to
man the mines.
Following insistent reports that a
mob of women marchers was. headed
toward Pittsburg and that the seizure
of Van A. Bittner, representative of
the international miners union here,
was planned. squad of former serv-
ice men was hastily formed for duty
at a hotel which is headquarters for
Bittner. In the lobby was a stack
OF rifles.
Sheriff Gould was beseiged by
miners who wanted to work and who
sought protection from the hordes of
women relatives aVl friends of strik-
ing coal miners who for two days
have overwhelmed workers and peace
officers about mine shafts. prevent
ing men from going into the mines
and beating some miners. The Sheriff
himself was pummeled with bread
and butter yesterday.
The women again were active this
morning. More than 1000 of them
up to mine No. 4s OF the
Central Coal & Coke company. Ex-
cept for beating one man. there was
little violence, however. The string
of motor cars bearing the women to
the mine shaft was more than a mile
long.
Sheriff Gould was at the 40 mine
but. with his small force of. deputies,
was powerless.
The three National Guard eompa-
MES to be sent to Pittsburg will total
about 400 men.
The mines of the Sheridan Compa-
ny at Mulberry did not work today.
These mines had been selected for at
Jack today by the women marchers.

MOoNsHINE MAKES
THE HOT DOG WILD

New York, Dec. 14.--The secret OF
what makes the hot dog wild is out.
New Yofk's frankfurter taste always
has been strong, hut recently police
on duty at Madison Square Garden
during the six-day bicycle race were
unable TO understand why certain
vendors had no trouble in disposing
OF their entire kennels at 80 cents a
dog without even serving the conven-
tional mustard.
The authorities were considering
some means OF stamping ont this
profiteering, when one blue-coat pur-
chased hound and punctured II.
Pure moonshine!
Now the coppers are casting mean

BRITAIN MAY ACT

Call For Economic Confer
ence BY British Pre-
mier Predicted.

Washington Dec. 13.--Somc of the
Foreign diplomats in attendance at
the arms conference have received
word which they interpret as indicat-
ing that David Lloyd George British
Prime Minister, is preparing to take
the initiative in worlo economic mat
tiers, having become convinced by in
quiry here that the American Gov
eminent does not intend to call an
international economic meeting, at
least not in the near future.
Mr.. Lloyd Georges plan, accord
ing to the information in the hands OF
these diplomats, contemplates the.
cancellation of all war debts owing to-
Great Britain by Italy, France, Bel
GUM, Russia and the smaller Balkan
Allies, amounting with interest to up
ward of 100000. 900 pounds steri-
ing.
Won't Renew Plea to U. $.
Mr.. Lloyd George, it is recalled,
proposed to President Woodrow VIII
son that all Inter-Allied debts, includ-
ing those owing to the United States,
should be cancelled, but his present
design, according to the understand
ing, does not include the renewal of
that suggestion to the United States.
He is said to intend to annul the
debts OF other countries due Great
Britain subject to conditions, one,
1t is understood, being that France
should forgive the debts of the Allied
countries to it, amounting to about
the equivalent of $4,000, 90, 900. and
another being a reduction of German
reparations due to France by 1871
100000 of francs
This is the amount the French
Government borrowed from England
during the war. and Is about as large
sum as that loaned to France by the
United States, which was 1885,
100000 francs ct the exchange then
used of 5.45 francs to the dollar.
Continent Facing Crisis.
The idea of the British Govern
ment acting Independently of the U.
s. in the cancellation of debts, ac-
cording to foreign officials here,
appears to have originated with Aus
ten Chamberlain when ne was Chan
cellor of the Exchequer.
When Sir Robert Horne succeeded
to the CHARACTERISTIC he objected To
striking off from among the British
assets so large a sum as the 1.800,-
100000 pounds sterling due with ac-
crued interest.
Mr.. Lloyd George is understood to
have been allowing the matter to rest
until the present, but the approach
ing crisis in the finances of several
continental countries, particularly
Germany, has led to the preparation
of plan by Worthington Evans and
others which, it is expected by the
foreign diplomats. Mr.. Lloyd George
would present at an economic con-
ference if one should be called on his
initiative.

world that / am afraid Of, says
Samuel M. Vauclain. II am afraid Of
the establishment of the debating
society as a business institution. Too
much advising results in finding the
various ways in which a thing can
not be done"
II endless talking pro and con re-
suited only in the loss of time, 1t
would be bad enough, but when in
addition it paralyzes our springs OF
action and leaves us sitting helpless
and done, il is high time to cut the
conversation.
What trouble we have is temporary
and results largely from state of
mind. I'VE have" says the current
issue of The Annalist," "all the pow
err and resources we need"
Notwithstanding that the United
States has only per cent of the
population of the world and only Z
per cent OF the land, bank deposits
and resources in this country exceed
the combined bank deposits and re-
sources of the whole world We have
one-third of all the gold coin and
bullion in the world, which constitutes
the basis for our credit structure.
"In addition. we produce "a per
cent of the worlds wheat, go per cent
of its cotton, as per cent of its corn,
% per cent of its cattle, 25 per cent
of all its dairy products, 40 per cent
of all its iron and steel, 20 per cent

ter of the worlds agricultural pro-
ducts, one third of its manufactured
goods, and more than one-third of
its mineral products. And from a

we are today the second greatest cred
itor nation on earth, with foreign peo-
pie owing us in excess of $4,000, 600

"All that is necessary for us to cap
italize our vast possibilities is the
vision to see our opportunities and
the will to accomplish the tasks that
confront us There is ample need and
ample reason for sane optimism"
And the chief task which confronts
us today is to gather enough momen-
tum to keep tho machine rolling. The
machine is there, sound mechanically
and well supplied with fuel-but most
of us are sitting on the back seat
talking. and wondering when the darn
thing is going to start.
Some man or some event may start
the engine at any moment-it might
have been an election or an Inaugural
ton; it may be tariff or tax bill.
However President Harding in his
inaugural address rebuked this senti-
ment. He declared that it was time
to reach stability through productive
effort.
1t is our humble opinion that most
any of us can start business revival
of his own, by the combination of a
little courage. considerable action,
and an infectious spirit of optimism.

MEMORIAL

In loving remembrance OF our be-
loved daughter, Oracle Mitchell, who
died Feb. 10, 1919.
Two years have passed away,
Two years since that fatal day,
When one loved and dearly missed
Lay cold in death before our eyes.
We miss her coming footsteps,
We miss her everywhere;
Home is not what is used to be,
Since our dear Oracle is not here.
Short was her life, great was her pain
Great was our loss, greater her gain /;
Our friendship and love
She needeth no more.
We've pressed on her forehead
The last kiss of love
For an angle has welcomed
Dear Oracle above.
The lovely flower so young and fair
Called hence to earthly doom,
Just come to show how sweet flowers
In paradise would bloom.
How we miss you dear Oracle
None but our dearest Lord in Heaven
knows
But one sweet hope and consolation
Is that your dear soul has sweet re-
pose.
Sad and lonesome is her mother,
Mrs. ]. R. Mitchell, Mooleyville, KY.
