The first in the series of community forums was held Sunday evening at the town hall, which was filed to capacity. The meeting was opened by singing un- de< the direction of Charles W. Caswell. with Mrs. CasweI at the piano. Valen- tine l.. Murphy then introduced the speaker of the evening, pr. James J.. Walsh.
 As his subject. Mir. Walsh spoke on The Thirteenth, the Greatest of Centuries. God knows that what we seek is happi- ness" said MT. Walsh and that happi- ness is not found in obtaining money, for money spells worry" Happiness as 1t was found in the thirteenth century is the satisfaction of having accomplished. We fsaa tAat there is one century that is sy=' prene in the existence of man. and that is the thirteenth. The cathedrals, hospi- Ials, universities and the great medical books are product of that century. <
 The word progress is very complicated. .according to Mir. Walsh. Men have made adventures which are infinite progress to mans physical abilities. such as the ra- dio, telephone. electricity, gasoline motor, etc. But nothing has been invented to find for him his happiness; in fact. our mental progress IS receding.
 n Dr. Walsh recalled the fact that over 5000 years ago an aged and blind beggar, the great Homer, invented poetry which IS the deepest form of thinking, Homer rosmed through the cities of Asia Minor and recited his ethic poetry to the rich and poor Greeks of that day; to them it was amusement
 a. Our amusement today is not to call in a poor beggar to listen to his poetry. In preference to Homer we so to the moving picture show and theatre. In the Greek days great men recited hstory to the masses collected to witness athletic games. Those people had as much inter- est in the italics of the mind as well as those of the body. Let a man get up to- day at Q worlds series baseball game and try to recite history. What would happen? Would he receive the applause and moneys which those men received Probably he would--if he withdrew from the field.
 Have we progressed7 Dr. Walsh says that we have not. although it is true we make better collar buttons. better shoe strings, etc. But we do not make thoughts. A man is made by his thoughts Dr. Walsh believes that the greatest in Sentions are inventions of speech, by which one can communicate his thoughts to another or others invention of writing and mechanical invention of the loom, by which can weaves thread into cloth.
 ~ In conclusion, Dr. Walsh said that vt need more cooperation between the enn' bloyes and the employers. for the spirit of cooperation is the direct couCse oi success.
 At the conclusion of his speech, Tr Walsh was loudly applauded. The meet Ing was then adjourned by singing ollt stanzs of Beautiful America.

Parls.-The changes Of the moon

The officers have succeeded In draw

upon months OF observation, which,
they assert, reliably serve to indicate
what atmospheric and celestial condi-
tions affecting radio service will be
met at any particular date in the fu-
ture.

One of the Caledonia subscribers of the
Dispatch, in recent letter, says: "PIease
tell your readers, as briefly as you can, Just
what was accomplished at the Disarmament
Conference"
In compliance with this request land the
Dispatch is always glad to have it's readers
ask for such information as it is able to give)
we might say that while the Disarmament
Conference did not do everything that we
would like for it to have done, it took so
many long and steady steps in the right dir
ection that it may be said in all sincerity
that the conference was a success. 1t paved
the way, laid the foundation so to speak, for
future conferences that ultimately will bring
universal peace and universal brotherhood to
the world
President Harding very truly said in his
closing address to the assembled commission
that 1T is hazardous sometimes to speak in
superlatives and | will be restrained" The
President was well aware that it is not what
the conference did, but what the peoples
the commissions represented will do that will
determine whether justice is to dominate
force in the future intercourse among gov
ernments and peoples.
But the President also said, with equal
clearness and truth, "the faith plighted here,
kept in national honor, will mark the begin
ming of a new and better epoch in human pro-
gress." way has been provided for the
fulfillment of great hope. The conference
blazed the trail. Treaties were negotiated
limiting ornaments, righting ancient wrongs
and removing potential causes of future wars.
These treaties must not only be ratified, but
must be honorably observed by all the sigma
tories in order that the spirit which animated
the conference may go forth, like the beams
of the sun, until it has encircled the world
Senator Lodge said that the conference
had succeeded in doing something real and
practical because it had not attempted to ac-
complish the impossible, to do too much. It's
scope was limited to the Pacific area, includ-
ing the Far East. He explained that "the
Far East meant China" AS set forth in
the agenda, it was called for a triple purpose:
the limitation of ornaments, the termination
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance and extending
aid to China to secure real independence.
These three objectives were won and other
things were accomplished which were not
believed possible when the conference con-
vened There was nothing in the agenda
concerning the return of Shantung to China
by Japan and the surrender by Great Britain
of WeHai-Wei. In fact, China is the only
country that won any territorial advantage
as the result of the conference.
At its final session supplemental agree
ment was written into the four-power treaty
which excludes the main islands of Japan
from the "nsular possessions" of the sigma
tories in the Far East. This was done to
prevent an Interpretation of the pact which
made it appear that the other powers were
pledged to assemble in conference if the

Soldiers To Cast
Referendum Vote

Ex-Service men living in Lowndes
or immediate community will meet
at the City Hall in Columbus on Fri
day, February 18th at 1880 to $3.50
p. m.
Post Number SO, American Legion,
of Columbus, has received from de-
partment headquarters of the legion
quantity of ballots that are to be
used in securing the exact views of
the ex-service men of this territory
on the much talked about adjusted
compensation bill. 1t is a known fact
that congress does not know what
the men are likely to take if the bill
passes, and it is this fact alone that
is holding up the passage of the bill
more than any other thing.
Ex-service men whether members of
the Legion or not should not miss
this great opportunity to express their
sentiments on the bill, either for it
or against it,
The Legion has been putting up a
hard fight in behalf Of the bill and
should have the support of every ex-
service man of this county that is for
it, However, if an ex-service man is
against the bill, he should express his
idea about it at the meeting as the
matter is not one-sded affair, Some
are for the bill; some are against it.
Every Post in the State Of Misss-
sippi will hold a meeting either on the
18th, 10th, 17th, or 18th of this month,
and it is predicted that at least thirty
thousand ballots will be cast. The
data will then be compiled and the
result wired to Washington
The bill as it stands today contains
five plans; however, the ex-service
man will only be allowed to par
ticipate in one plan. The bill will be |
fully explained at the meeting and
the men will be able to make their
probable choice.
Polls open Friday, February 18th, /

THE LADY VOTER

Congresswoman Alice Robertson of
Oklahoma says that the League of
Women Voters is excess baggage.
There is no more warrant for it than
there would be for a political party
advertising itself as for men only.
The women are needed as workers in
the regular parties. There they have
been recognized and placed on the
same footing with men. To flock by
themselves is foolish and unwomanly.
That is what she says.

THE GERMAN MIND

Unquestionably there is something
about the German mind that differs
radically from the rest of the minds
that direct activities on this oblate
spheroid. Even the processes of the
Russian mind can be understood after
some examination, and often without
any. But the German mind works
in such mysterious way its wonders
to perform that lifelong study never
gets the student any nearer to its
springs.

WHAT THE CONFERENCE DID

Japanese islands proper should be attacked
by another power. This supplemental agree
ment disposes of the arguments used by SEN
ator Johnson and few others against the
Treaty of Washington.
Five treaties were negotiated by the con-
ference They may be summarized as fol-
lows:
ID Quadruple agreement between Amer
lea, Great Britain, France and Japan to mu-
tualy respect each others insuar possessions
in the Pacific and providing for a quadruple
conference in case the peace of the Pacific
should be menaced.
(2) Five-power pact between America,
Great Britain, Japan, France and Italy pro-
viding for limitation of naval ornaments
and scrapping about $4,000 tons of battle
ships. This pact is more destructive to ex-
listing navies than was the World War.
49, Five-power treaty outlawing the use
of poison gas in warfare and making the un-
dersea attack on a merchant vessel an act of
piracy.
a. Three-power agreement between Am
erica, Great Britain and Japan to preserve
the status quo on naval bases and fortifca-
tions in the Pacific area No new fortifca-
tions are to be erected on the islands of the
Pacific and there is to be no extension of
naval bases.
(5) Nine-power agreement establishing
the policy of the "open door, in China. This
agreement is a genuine triumph for American
diplomacy, for it is a policy first promulgated
by our government.
Supplementary treaties were negotiated by
which Great Britain and Japan return Wei
Hai-Wei and Shantung to China. An agree
ment was also reached between our country
and Japan concerning zap and Pacific cable
stations. Japan also agreed to withdraw
from the northern portion Of the island of
Sakhalin
Equally important perhaps, is the decla-
ration of principles embodied in the trea-
ties and resolutions; for they place inter-
national relations on a higher and nobler
plane than they occupied before the World
War. Speaking for Great Britain, Mr.. Bal
four said that nations in the future cannot
violate the principles laid down here without
sacrificing the confidence of the powers Here
after selfish aggression at the expense of
China cannot be excused on plea of ignor-
ance or of private understanding with minor
Chinese officials"
No other conference of nations was ever
conducted with so little friction. Threats of
force were never uttered. There was no rat
Ting of the saber, and justice, not power,
was the dominating spirit. Right was placed
before national interests; and the result is
the greatest triumph for peaceful diplomacy
of which history contains record. The ma
tions separated with better understanding
than when the conference assembled. Friend
ships have been cemented and not even a
vestige of a war cloud darkens any part of
the Pacific area. We could not have reason
ably hoped for more.
