1t is pointed out that the allied del

from Switzerland, as they have no con

and the report is thought to have
arisen from instructions to individual
delegates not to talk for publication.

ISMET PASHA WARNED

Paris, Nov. 2O.-Ismet Pasha, chief
Turkish delegate at the Lausanne
peace conference again has been in
structed by the Angora assembly pos
itively not to yield on the question of
capitulation, according to authorita
tive information reaching Paris.
These instructions, it is said, were
sent in view of the probability that one
of the biggest battles of the conference
will be fought over this point, the
Turks insisting that foreigners be
amandable to the Turkish laws and
courts and the other nations insisting
that tifeir nationals be accorded ex
ira territorial rights.
1t is pointed out that, rightly or
wrongly. from the European point of
view, the Angora government places
it's request for abolition of the capt.
ulations first in Importance on it's list
of peace terms.
Ismet is declared to have been warn
cd in no uncertain terms he will be
hanged if he yields on capitulations.

Lausanne, Nov. 20-Hope . that
peace on earth would result from the
labors of the Near Eastern conference
was voiced by the speakers at the
brief opening session Monday.
This sentiment was voiced first by
Grafton, who presided over the opening
plenary meeting, and it was dwelt up
on by boh Lord Curzon and Ismet
Pasha, in their responses on behalf
of the numerous delegations assembled
in the Lausanne casino where the i'm
pressive inaugural ceremony was held.
Mondays sitting required only a
half hour and Tuesday morning the
business of the conference will be ac-
lively begun.
Richard Washburn Child. American
ambassador to Italy, and Joseph C.
Grew. minister to Switzerland, the two
principal American representatives,
were seated prominently in the front
row of the auditorium beside Premier
Poincare Of France and received a
warm welcome from the delegations
from other lands.
Americans Active
The prospects of American activity
in the conference, which many of the
foreigners appeared to interpret as
the launching of a new American pol
icy in Europe, and the presence of a
strong delegations from Japan, gave
world wide significance to the conclave.
Benito Mussolini, the new strong
man of Italy with his air of alert de-
termination, drew all eyes as he NOV
ed to his place not far from Veni
Zelos, whose activities and popularity
practically forced the abdication of a
Grecian king, and who is here to ap-
ply ali his diplomatic skill to save
what he can for his country, in the
peace with Turkey which the confer
ence is to formulate.
Venizelos sat inscrutable under the ]
accusations of the chief Turkish plen- |
ipotentiary, Ismet Pasha, that the
Greek army. without justification, has
Systematically devastated the Turkish
countryside and made a million inno-
cent Turks homeless, hungry wander /
ers.
The Ottoman nation wants peace
with all its heart, Ismet told his hear |
ers, but he warned them that lasting /
peace must be founded upon mutual
respect Of nationPl liberty and indie
pendence.
Lord Curzon wanted lausanne to
make "a final peace of all" He pIedg- |
ed England's whole souled support in
this cause.
Ismet Pasha spoke almost inaudibly |
in French, but some were able to catch !
the declaration that the world war
armistice Of four years ago was "con
cluded on the basis of and faith in the |
Wilsonian principles"

An illustrated atlas of Audrain
County, printed in 1877, is the prop
erty Of Sam Evans. This book gives
. very interesting picture Of an Aud
rain County and Mexico which Is quite
different from the county and city Of

In the front Of the book is short his
tory of the county by s. NJ. Edwards,
who formerly lived in Mexico. This
history tells a number of stories con-
corning the settlement Of this section
and Of the county when it was first
organized.
The only story Of the country told
before 1928 was told to Mr.. Edwards
by an old settler. In 1922 the Indians
which held possession Of all the ceantry
from the Boonslick Settlement made a
raid on the whites androbbed them Of
their stock. Thirty men started out in
pursuit Of the Indians as the loss of

far in the enemy's territory gave ND

OF the conditions which prevail in the
politics of many cities and the oppor.
tunity which the women of today have
in helping to purify conditions.
SARASOTA, Fla.
january %, 1922.
Quite a number Of those who don't
want to work unless they can get
war time wages are trying to find
easy" towns in the South but find
a cool reception eve in the sun shine
cities Of Florida.
1T is charged that the word has
been sent out through hobodom that
Birmingham is a soft town and the
numerous unemployed men who have
come here this winter ostensiblv
looking for something to do have
been lured by the purospect of hos
pitality that can be obtained with a
minimum Of effort. Whether this is
true or not, the recent experience of
a Birmingham employer is interest
ing. 1t is reported that he went to
the city hall and offered work at $3.50
a day. Some of the Starving ref
ugees there told him politely but firm
ly that they couldn't consider a lob
that paid less than 40 cents an hour.
Other employers have had a similar
experience"
After that finding, is it to be Won
dered at the Federal Commissioner
or OF Birmingham recommended to
the city that "those who won't work
when opportunity is offered them be
made to move on"
Indications are not lacking that
Tampa has too many of the class
found in Birmingham. They come
hunting work." but somehow after
sending them to a job yyou seldom
find them on the job the next day, or
thereafter.
The Ledger never was in favor of
the "move on" policy of come cities,
so far as the criminal class is con-
cerned; but when it comes to men
who r merely hunting for some
thing easier than hard work, we sug-
gest that they be sent on to the next
.own, and that hurriedly.
You have to work in the South in
order to live as anywhere else. You
ant live without work any more
han you can have money without
it.
In a letter from home today l lear
ID that there are candidates for city
'ffices who had not announced in the
'apers. That seems a queer idea. l
would suppose all candidates would
all the people to know they
we're running. Wonder if they expect
heir party papers to support them
fter they are nominated when they
ven refuse to announc in them.
'ome people want offices while they
subscribe for the party
apers or party campaign fund. Just
o they can get the office as cheaply
s possible with no idea of rendering
ervice either to the party or the
ublic.
Loyalty to the party and to the =
'ublic which should be one and the
anne thing should be important to
hose who want political offices. This {
ack of loyalty is the cause of so !
lany newspapers becoming indepen- {
ent instead of partisan. Of course !
