PREPAREDNESS URGED
BY GENERAL PEKSHFNu

Boston. Dec. 15.-Addressing the
Women's Republican club of Massa-
chusetts Yesterday, General John >.
Pershing said dangerous elements are
moving towards revolution in Amerl-
can both openly and secretly, and
that because national problems nave
not been thoroughly discussed, "tnere
have crept into SO many women ciuDs
these undermining and dlsruptlve ten, !,
dencies toward radicalism OF all sorts.
Pacifism, .the disease which strikes at
constitutional government, he ADDED,
was one Of the tendencies. -,
Gas we look out upon the world
today,' General Pershing SAID,
find complicated situations IN mlddle
Europe, in the near east and IN the
Orent. The nations lately at war
seem ready to fly at each others
throats. and war more terrible than
| the last is openly predicted. Sus-
picion. iealously and hatred are fol

threats of war. 1t is not inconcelv-
able that America might again take
IN arms in defense Of the principles
of liberty and justice which inspired
Iour action in 1917. It would be sim
ple follv for us now to revert to ou1
iproverbial listlessness. e4-s.s
4 at is surprising that any of oul
people should be SO simple minded al
to think that complete disarmament
on our part would induce other ma
tions to follow. AS a matter Of fact
we were practically disarmed IN 1917
and we were quite alone

Joseph D. Elliott, who has birth
law anniversary Sunday, was the re-
.ipient at Rotary luncheon yesterday
of birthday cake that fooled him
or a while. Between the cake and
he. lighted candles was a sheet OF
in, through which the recipient was
unable to cut. The tin removed, Mr..
elliott found large size cake OF
xtra quality. The presentation was
lone in a happy manner bv Rev. Sam
;. Stroup.
The meeting yesterday was featur-
ii bv short talk by Dr.. Mangun,
,astor of the Lincolnton Methodist
nurch and president of the Lincointon
Kiwanis club, on "Just Man About
Town.
There was good music yesterday
30, with Mrs. D'Anna at the piano.
he new one bought by the club, and
;ome of the old and new minscrei
ongs being given with zest.
In his talk DR.. Margum called at
ention to the fact that for the first
ime in history the urban population
vas larger than the rural, the census
sigures showing 81 per cent of thc
people in the United States living
u the towns and cities and 49 per
:ent in the country. The drift is TO-
wards the towns and cities, whose
problems are increasing, and he laid
t down as fact that the destiny and
prosperity of the nations are in the
lands of these average men about
own. The city since the days OF
,on1e has set the type of civilization,
)l. Mangum declared, and it was
.ere he made his appeal to average
business men, such as belong to 10
.arv and other clubs, to think Ut the
other fellow. No man can do his Part
.owards his town and country unless
,e realizes his prosperity.
With a wealth Of illustration from
he Old Testament, the speaker en-
,hasized the personal influence, as
serting that the time is at hand fol
avery man to do his part. Abrahan
Moses and other leaders stand our
n history, as strong meI
because they broke the drift, as the
,ock in the desert, and here the RI
tary club by means Of it's develo*
no influences can and does. serve.
Dr.. Mangum urged every man Wilt
EMPLOYS labor to show an lnteres
in them. Big men are essential, bu
hev must have followers. All Of u
can exert our personal influence
and it is growing daily-to the bes
advantage. 1t is our duty to help tn
,ther fellow and he commended tn
,ffort of the club in thinking Of tn
poor at Christmas.
The worst element in a community
DR.. Mangum said, was the man VII
hears something not verv good abou
! ono+hor and masses it along, enlar;;
me- it as he tells it. Such men az
INJURIOUS. Stop that, he implore'
Don't tell it. Stand between the ma
and his reputation: How many i've
have been injured for lack OF silence
Be rock to break the drift,
urged. Bring sunhsine and gladnes
into the hearts of others, That, h
said, was Rotary. DR.. Mangum DIRE

Rockford, ILL.,, Dec. 15.-Camp
Grant, another of the wartime scenes
OF bustling military activity, soon is
to go upon the auction block-one Of
the final steps in it's ultimate wreck
ing as cantonment.
Between 1900 and l 400 buildings
and utilities are to be sold, part OF
camp that at the height of its opera
tions covered $3.50 acres of land and
housed approximately 10000 men.
Three army officers now are making
a survey of the salvage value of the
buildings, all located in the area of
the old base hospital site.
Buildings in the areas turned over
to the national guard Of Illinois and
the portion reserved for the proposed
reformatory for first term federal
offenders, are not included in thu
survey. The Baldwin, Sannuelson and
Johnson farms are to be returned to
their owners. Other properties were
bought by the government and con-
demnation proceedings were necessary
in some cases.
It was on May 12, 1917, that the
War Department submitted to the
Rockford Chamber of Commerce the

range and safety zone were selected
and the total area ultimately used
was 5,656 acres.

DISCUSSES ALLIED DEBTS

By the Associated Press.
Washington, Dec. 15.-Although
state department officials confirmed
today the London announcement that
Ambassador Harvey had been called
home for consultation" they declined
to make an explanation as to the spe-
cific questions Secretary Hughes had
planned to discuss with the ambassa-
dor.
In the absence of an official explain
alton, the impression gained currency
that Mr.. Harvey had been called to
Washington as to the situation on
German reparations which are about
to cause a breach between England and
France.
It has been stated in administration
circles here that the Washington gov
ernment regards the reparations diff
culty as the "most acute of the Eu-
ropean problems today and Is AJAX
ious to afford any aid at settlement
lit could properly extend. That these
utterances and Ambassador Harvey's
visit will have direct effect on that
situation is generally agreed.
It appears probable that the state
department has considered participa-
tion in some form in the proposed eco
nomic and financial conference at
Brussels, projected by allied states
men, but for which it has not been
possible to make definite plans on
German reparations.
Ambassador Harvey would be the
logical channel for any informal ex-
change of views between the allied and
American governments during the IN
terval before the council of premIers
reassembles after new years.

correct, showing what Florida pro-

shells were raised last year.

February Goth, 1928, will be an

on that day the people will decide
by their votes if bonds to the amount
of 100000 shall be issued for the

building, this county's portion of

commissioners having set the date

In calling the election at this time
and for the amount of bonds propos-

as close as possible to a plan outlined
by f. p. Green, member of the State
Road Department, the Chief Engin-

fore the election it is expected that
information as to the exact type of
road to be constructed will be avail

two years, but with the idea of Sc
curing state aid, and if possible fed

in favor of the proposed improvement
has crystallized to such an extent
