socialists jumped up shouting
to DR.. Karl Helferrich, "You
are the assassin" Helferrich

W. O. W. TO MEET
AT HENDERS0NYILLE

Hendersonville, N. c., uJne "a
Hendersonville during the greater
part of July will virtually be the ma
tional headquarters of the Woodmer
of the World. For three weeks be.
ginning July 3, the sovereign execu-
tive council of that great fraternal
and insurance order will be in session
here, and during this time the site for
national home for ill and disabled
Woodmen will be selected. Hender-
sonville is making a strenuous bid for
this institution on which will be spent
several millions of dollars. Other
cities in the Land Of the Sky are like
wise bidding for the home.
Duncraggan Inn, fashionable
mountain resort hotel, will be occu-
pied solely by the Woodmen officials.
Telephone, telegraph and radio ser
vices have been installed for their
convenience, and indications point to
the transaction of large volume of
business. Bond sellers of the east and
north will be attracted to Henderson
vile by these Woodmen officials who
expect to buy, in the course of their
regular business, many millions of
dollars worth of bonds, securities, etc.
Sovereign Commander w. A. Fra
ser, the supreme official of the order,
will preside over the councils ses-
sions. He and his 80 or more asso-
ciates have never before held coun-
Gil meeting outside the city of Omaha.
Their coming to North Carolina there
fore, means much to Woodcraft in the
southeast.
The North Carolina Head Camp
will hold its annual meeting in Hen
Jacksonville, beginning Friday, June
80, in order that it might formally
welcome the distinguished visitors.
On July a, a gigantic Fourth cele-
bration is to be engaged in by the cit
liens of Hendersonville, operating
through their board of trade.
Governors Morrison and Harvey
and United States Senators Overman
and Sheppard will, with Mr.. Fraser,
be the speakers.
Railroads are offering attractive
weekend rates to Woodmen all over
the country who want to come to Hen
dersonville for this occasion. Indica-
tions point to large Florida, Georgia
and. South and North. Carolina Wood
craft pilgrimage.
Many Tennesseans also are expect
ed to come to Hendersonville to greet
the high officials of this great order.

GERMANY HAS
A HUGE ARMY

Washington, June 23 (By the Asso
ciated Press).-Germany laid before
the Genoa conference figures showing
that there are today under arms ir
Europe nearly million more soldiers
than there were when it was on the
verge of the world war in 1918. Ac-
cording to the German statement
which has just reached Washington
there are now in Europe a grand to-
tai of 4,736,00O men under arms, COM
pared with 3,726,641 in the year 1913
While the mighty German army of
100000 men of 1913 shrunk to the
100000 soldiers allowed by the Yer
sailles treaty, the French army, which
in that year numbered sS3 900, this
year stands at $4,000. Greece's
army has increased from 10000 to
100000 and Belgium's from. 54,641 to
113,4O0, the statement shows. Rus
sia's vast army, whichs in 1918 num-
bered 1,S45, 900, now is rated at L.
100000 men. England shows a slight
increase from 24s,OOO to 277,OOO,
while Italy reduced her forces from
275,000 to 1000.
New armies appear in the German
statement. Poland, for instance, an
unknown power in 1913, is now ap-
pearing with an army of 100000 men.
Then there is Esthonia with $4,000,
FINLAND with $4,000, Lettonia with
$4,000, Lithuania with $4,000 and
Czecho- -Slovakia with 25O,OOO, all un-
known as military forces before the
world war.
Finally it was shown to the Genoa
conference that while in the year
1913 the Ferman army comprised 70
per cent of the total armies of Eu-
rope, compared with % 1-5 per cent
for France, at present the German
percentage is hut per cent, against
18k per cent for France.

warehouse toppled in a heap, hun
dreds Of trees were uprooted or strip
ped of branches, windows were driven

wires were broken down, adding an
element of danger which later in the
morning cost the life of Garfield

Herring, ILL.,, June 23 (By the AS
Sociated Press ).-IIerrin's unhonored
dead are piled cold and stark in the
vacant store building that has been
pressed into service as a morgue
since yesterdays mine battle. Past
them filed an unending line of men
and women, young and old, barefoot
ed boys and little girls, bright in their
summer clothes.
They lifted muslin cloths and peer
ed at pale faces and at the wounds
left by pistol bullets, rifle balls and
buckshot
They fingered, then reluctantly
pressed on to some adjoining horror,
eager to miss nothing. Never word
OF pity from the crowd! These were
the enemy slain in labor war. These
were the men who came to take away
their jobs. Outsiders. enemies.
"Well, it served them right" That
was the attitude of the town as ex.
pressed by its men and women and its
children. Tears, none. Sympathy,
not mu h. These were the enemy.
The dead of half dozen national
tiles, with sloping forehcads of the
Slav, high profiles of the native born,
the long moustaches of eastern Eu.
rope, lying at peace for all the
crowds, the laughter and the sullen
looks. Bricks beneath their heads for
pillows. pick boxes for their beds,
they lay waiting the call of friends
and relatives who loved them once
and have lost touch with them in the
vcissitudes of transient labor Most
of them, it is safe to say, will be for
gotten in the potters' field, their
meagre courses run, their stories fin
ished. They came here because they
wanted a living and because other
men wanted to make money.
They died, hunted across the fields,
stoned, shot at, tied and dragged
down dusty country roads, because
other thousands feared these men
would take away their living.
The trees are green in Herrin ant
the birds are singing and the crops
ripening in the summer sun. From
the morgue the crowds drift to the
billboards in front of the picture
show, to see what the posters prom.
