LOSE GAME:
Consols Of Rapids Win by Score of
16 to 9.

FROM Stevens Point Gazette
Lack of practice, resulting in a de-
luge of errors, caused the defeat of
the Wisconsin River Paper and Pulp

the Rapids Sunday afternoon, 16 to 8.
The Rapids team scored IA runs in
the first three innings on loose play
ing of the Stevens Point club. After
those frames the locals tightened and
while the home team was collecting
two more tallies in the remaining six
innings the visitors scored nine.
Kryshak pitched for the Papermak-
ers and Pierce caught. Plahmer hurl-
ed for the Consols and Dolan caught.

STEAMER BRUCE ON
HER MAIDEN TRIP
Captain HightOwer And His
Vessel Welcomed On Arrival
At Vernon From Pensacola.

VERNON, Fla, Nov. 1s.-The people
of Vernon, and surrounding country
were gladdened Wednesday evening
when the whistles of the steamer Bruce
sounded, and resounded the glad news of
her approach from Pensacola on her
maiden trip from that point to Vernon
and way towns and landings, bringing
freight of different kinds for this section
of West Florida, the home Of the Won
derful satsuma orange. ...
Her genial captain, c.. P. Hightower,
was as proud and as dignified as she
seemed to be at making her landing, and
be safely secured to her mornings where
she lay upon the glad, sun-kissed waters
of the majestic Holmes river like thing
of life, with her bow and stern seeming
to rise almost above the water line, and
her midship resting lightly upon the
waters.
Some of her owners Messrs. Ward and
Sharon, took delight in conducting the
many interested VISITORS and sightseers
through her cabin, engine and boiler
rooms, explaining her advantages in
makeup, and assuring them that she
would make regular trips from Pensacola
to Vernon, and way points, and asking
the cooperation of all for her success,
and the development of this section of
the country.
After discharging her cargo, the Bruce
left on her return trip with many good
wishes from the entire community.

" opposed even in the present Con-

Near East Horizon Darker,
The situation in Turkey is strained
afresh by demand from Renal Pasha
that the allies surrender control of Con-
stantinople to him.
This was the Turkish capital but the
allies gained possession of it at the end
of the World War. Renal now insists
on having it back by virtue of Turkeys
victory over the Greeks. The protocol
to which the allies also, were parties
ending this struggle, did indeed provide
for this transfer of the city; but a pro-
tocol is only a provisional agreement,
and the allies say they intend to remain
in charge until a definite treaty is
signed.

allied troops out, and with the allied
troops, on the other hand, refusing to
go, conditions are SO tense that many
foreigners already are fleeing. ="

from abroad in order to prevent foreign
manufacturers from, competing with
Americans in this country, except under
that taxation handicap. The Republican
Congress, now about to end, did pass a
law with this object in view, and from
the fact that the Democrats made such
great gains. it seems fair to conclude
that the voters did not like it, presum-
ably fearing that it will increase the
cost of living.
Labor unquestionably was, to a con-
siderable extent, antagonistic to the
Republicans, largely because Of the in
junction secured by member of Presi-
dent Harding's cabinet. Attorney General
Daugherty, in connection with the recent
railroad strike. Many predictions are
made that the election insured the aboli-
ton of the Railroad Labor Board.
The soldiers bonus, considering that
lawmakers who voted for and against
the bonus bill had about equal success or
lack of success at the polls. appears not
to have weighed very heavily with the
voters. However, the bonus is sure to
come up in the next Congress.

FOR A WORLD PEACE.

Peace throughout all the world is
the announced purpose and earnest
hope of the Near East Conference now
assembled at Lausanne. 1t is called
for consideration of the grave prob
that troubled section called the Near
East. and it is believed satisfactory
solution OF this situation will lead to
general peace throughout the world.
1t will be the hope of every friend of
world peace that this result will be
reached
And while n settlement of this one
problem, especially the circumvention
OF the villainous and treacherous Turk
might not of itself fully restore peace
TO the world. il would be great step
in that direction. Soviet Russia and in
sidious. vindictive Germany would still
have to be reckoned with, but the re-
moval of the Turk as a fiendish ele-
ment of unrest and disturbance would
greatly modify all other disturbing
elements of the situation. With Tur-
key no longer an object of diplomatic
concern and intrigue. all the matters
at issue among other nations would
be susceptible OF n speedy. satisfac-
tory and peaceful settlement.
II is hoped, therefore. the Lausanne
Conference will be entirely success
full in its purposes and that the fond
hopes of It's chief promoters will be
fully realized. Peace is the worlds
greatest need.
