MANY VETS HONOR
BIRTH Of CHIEF TAIN
Exercises At High School Building
Were Largely Attended And
Much Enjoyed

The rebel yell and the presence
of ]. P. Chapman, color guard Of
the Fifth Georgia Regiment, with
the old flag of that command, which
has been in his keeping now for so
years, featured the closing of the
exercises celebrating the birthday of
General Robert E. Lee, held at the
high school building this morning.
The old soldiers greatly appreciate
the honor which the local chapter of
the Daughters of the Confederacy
showed them on this occasion. Thir-
ty-five were here from all parts of
Sumter county, half dozen coming
down from Ellaville, these being
members OF the loacl camp.
Rev. Henry T. Brookshire made
a fine address on the life of the fall
en- and beloved chieftain. Prof. C.
NJ. Hale introduced the speaker, and
made brief talk. The reading Of
Miss Susan Stallings and the song
by Miss Melva Clark were all great
ly enjoyed.

war would collapse without a supply
from outside. During the European
war the United States saved the sit
u&tion by getting oil to the allies.
"That is the reason why English
statesmen are so concerned over the
open connection between the British
question; and it explains the close
government. and the oil interests
over there-something that does not
exist here in any like degree.
Expect Development on Large Scale.
"a war over Mosul oil now would
be, curiously, a war to make future
was possible-or, in another sense,
to keep the peace Of the future by
force. NY judgment is that if Eng
land keeps the Turks out Of osul,
the oil fields there will be developed
on big scale. In this American
interests will have an important
hand. Whether the Turks would de-
veiop them is a question, for the
Turks are not modern nor CONNER
cially energetic"
Miss Tarbell said the value of the
oil fields of Mosul was not definitely
known.

LESLIE BOYS TELL Of

night were easily and without stren-

the club on the local court, when
the score in the basketball game
finally reached the aggregate amount
of 25 to 6 in favor of the locals.
Having won one victory with a
narrow margin from Leslie club,
quite a number of fans came down
either to bluff, or to witness anoth-

seems that the fans are their prin-
cipal productions on the realm of
basketball, and all they had to fan
was the air Of defeat.
The game was hard fought and in

played extremely well. E. Hines,

ENGLAND CAN'T AFFORD
WAR WITH TURKS OVER
NEAR EAST OIL FIELDS
NEA Service Staff Writer.
BY EDWARD THLERRY

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-War over
the oil fields of the Near East Isl not
likely, in the opinion Of Ida M. Tar
bell, famous author and editor.
Miss Tarbell disclaims intimate
knowledge of the present interna-
tional tangle in which war rumors
are based on the oil dispute at the
Lausanne conference between the
British and the Turks. But she has
been recognized as an authority since
the appearance in 1904 Of her two

War Would Be Madness
'It would be madness for England
to allow a war over the Mosul oil
fields, said Miss Tarbell.
England must realize that such
an outcome Of the Lausanne negotia-
tions would exhaust the remaining
patience and ALLEVIATE the remaining
sympathy that the best opinion N
the United States has for the allies.
She cannot acord that, and I believe
she knows it.

of the Mosul oil fields, and that the
question will be settled by haggling
and trading.
can that the United States govern
ment viii do will be to insist that our
nationals have a chance in the devel-
opment of the fields That, OF course,
means Standard Oil. It is the only
one of our oil nationals that counts
in the big international game"
Miss Tarbell points out that oil is
an international question because it
is an imperative necessity in time Of
war.
"It is nonsense" she said, ''to re-
gard the Mosul fields as a necessary
supply for the present commercial
oil needs. We have enough oil now.
This is for the future especially fon

HERO OF MANY PICTURES
Having Faced Dcsaih Fca~Ic3sly

Mystery For Him Is Solved

HOLLYWOOD, Jan. 1o.-Wallace
Reid is dead.
As this sombrc message was flash
ed over the world at LAS Thursday,
when news of his death was trans-
mitted to the wire and wireless,
thousands of heads were bowed in
grief in the United States of Ameri-
ca and the to-be United States Of
the World, as the solemn words were
read from screens in theaters where
he had been seen thousands Of times
in thousands Of varied roles.
That Wallace Reid, the beloved
idol of the film world, was dead
could scarcely be believed by thous-
ands and thousands of friends who
had been watching the newspaper
accounts Of his courageous fight
against the demon drug which had
sapped his vitality from that of
superb physical strength of splendid
manhood to that of a weakling.
The end came at the Bansea sani-
Carium Thursday, where he had been
under special treatment Of the coun-
try's finest specialists. His wife and
little son, and his beloved adopted
daughter, were with him when the
end came, and where she had watch
ed with fearful eyes and prayerful
heart that life might be spared to
him in renewed beauty and strength.
1t was Mrs. Reid who, when ru-
mors were flying thick and fast,
courageously faced the world and ad-
mitted that her famous husband had
been in the clutches of narcotics,
but that he had stopped the habit
at the risk Of his life and was win

FRANCE ALMOST
ALONE.

London and Washington dlsap-
prove strongly Of what France has
done.
II isn't that there's any sympa-
thy at either of these capitals with
Germany. They both consider that
if the Germans are able to pay, they
ought to be compelled to 90 it. But
they regard it as at least very doubt
full if Germany is able to do so. Just
as they were hoping the world was
going to settle down, with some pros
poets of a return to "normalcy,"
they're mach dissatisfied by Frances
refusal to abandon policy calcUlat-
ed to upset everything again.
Premier Bonar Law Of England,
marked his objections to the French
course by quitting the conference
with the French, Italian and Belgian
premiers when he found he wasn't
going to be listened to.
1t has been learned that Myron 7.
Herrick, United States ambassador
to France, without acutually protest
ing against the French advance into
the Ruhr, did tell Premier Poincare
that the Washington administration
was opposed to it. Roland W. Boy
den, unofficial American representa-
tive on the reparations commission,
likewise told the French, Italian and
Belgian delegates that he didn't be-
ieve Germany could pay Frances
claims, and said he agreed with Eng
land.
The United States, too, recalled
her few troops still on German soil.
They didn't mean much in a military
way but their recall implied a pro-
test.
It seems even Premier Mussolini
protested, though Italy voted with
France on the reparations commits
sion.
Only Belgium is cooperating
whole-heartedIy with the French.
