FISHERMEN'S CHAMPION
Alderman Wells Would Have Finny
 Rascals Taken From Shuttle Mea-

A plan whereby local fishermen may have an opportunity to get more fish for their efforts with the rod and reel is to be brought before the next meeting of the common council by Alderman George Wells.

This system is followed out in other cities, MT. Wells says, and works satisfactorily.

Peace London Says

CdIC LONuOhl oASo
 London, Oct Il. - (By Associated Press) = peaceful solution of the Near Eastern 'tangle has apparently been reached on the basis of the sur render of eastern Thrace to the Turks with proper safeguards for the Chris tian minorities and the neutrality of the Dardanelles.
 Terms Are Signed
 A convention putting into effect an armistice between the Kemalists and Greeks was signed by the delegates at Mudania late last night. The news brought great relief here where there was considerable anxiety lest the Turks remain recalcitrant despite the newly declared unity of the allies
 It is believed that Ismet Pasha in signing for the Turks, did so under orders from the Angora government to which the allied terms had pre- viously been forwarded.
 The Kemalists had been given until 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon to &C., cept or reject the allied proposals and the reason for the delay is not known unless last minute changes in the original document were found neces- sary.
 Allied Terms
 The allied terms provide for evacua- tion of Thrace within 15 days and complete transfer of the civil admin istrations to the Turks in an addition al month; delimitation of new neutral zones along the Dardanelles and Bos- phorus by mixed military commissions and non occupation of Thrace by Turkish military forces until a peace treaty is signed.
 ,s' French Influence Felt
 The changed attitude of the French delegates who previously had support ed the Turkish stand Is believed to have contributed largely to the readi- ness with which the Kemalsts yield ed. Before signing, Ismet Pasha is said to have protested that the terms were in contradiction to the assur- ances originally given him by Gen Charpy. He was told, however. that the French delegates had assented to the new demands.

RURAL CHURCH AID.
Trained Workers to Teach New
Method of School Work.

Between two and three thousand
rural Baptist churches of the south
will be reached during the current
summer with improved methods in
Sunday school and B. Y. P. L. work
as a result of the cooperative effort
of the Baptist Sunday school board
with the various state boards in the
several states of the Southern Baptist
Convention. More than $50 specially
trained young men and women have
been added to the forces of the vari-
Gus state boards for the summer to
assist the regular workers in this ex-
tension program, making approxi-
mately 200 workers for the period,
who are giving from three to four
months to this special rural program.
In each church visited a special in
stitute in Sunday school and B. Y. P. U.
methods is held, concluding with a
religious census of the community
in which the church is situated and
special demonstration services on
Sunday. showing how to Set up the
new methods taught and to utilize the
data obtained from the census.
After three or four years of this
kind of work among the rural
churches the denominational leaders
are persuaded it forms one of the
most valuable pieces of enlistment
work that has yet been devised.
