MASS MEETING
ENDORSES PLAN
Mass Meeting Endorses
Ministerial Unions Move
for Cleanup Here.
UP TO THE OFFICIALS

By almost unanimous vote a mass
meeting, held at the Park Avenue M.
E. church, on Sunday evening endors-
ed the movement launched last week
by the Ministerial Union of Kenosha
for a cleanup of vice conditions in
Kenosha and Kenosha county. The
resolutions, adopted by the union and
sent to the various officials of city
and county, charged with law enforce
ment, were read to the gathering;
those crowded into the church for the
meeting were then given an oppor-
tunity to express their opinion re-
garding the movement.
All but four or five of the several
hundred attending the meeting went
on record as favoring the cleanup
program. When a chance for those
opposed to vote was given, one per-
son registered his opposition.
Will Continue Movement.
With this endorsement, the minis
tiers who drew up the resolutions and
adopted them, intend to continue the
movement which they hope will better
At the nass meeting the Reverend
/. w. Corey, president of the Minis
terial Union, presided and introduced
the discussion of the movement. The
Reverend George R. Cady, pastor of
the First Congregational church, read
the resolutions which were adopted
by the Ministerial Union and copies
of which were made public last week
when they were sent to officials of
city and county. Other ministers,
who signed the resolutions, were also
in attendance at, the meeting.
Can Be Enforced.
The speaker for the mass meeting
was DIR. F. Scott Mcbride, of Wash
ington, national head of the Anti-Sa-
loon League, who in introducing his
subject praised the step taken by the
ministers in Kenosha in answering the
request made by city officials by the
adoption of the resolution in ques-
ton.
Law enforcement depends entirely
upon the officials, declared this speak
or. He said that he had recently COM
pleted a survey of forty-four states
of the forty-eight in the Union and
that this survey had shown that the
eighteenth amendment was being en-
forced wherever officials honestly
tried to enforce the law.
He also recalled the fact that the
drv amendment had been written into
the Constitution by the largest ma
jority ever given any amendment to
the Constitution. OF the ee ratifying
bodies, SO ratified the amendment ne
stated, the three not ratifying being
in the states of Connecticut and
Rhode Island.
"The eighteenth amendment is not
a whim--it is here to stay" he de-
clared. He admitted, however, that
there was organized opposition against
it and that must be met by organize
ltion to enforce it.

Treasure Seeker To
Ask Ghost About
Hidden Gold

LEXINGTON, KY, Feb. H.
If j. H. Davis, jr., twenty-five,
garage employee at Paris, Ky,
by trade, but ghost-catcher and
treasuref-se by preference,
had good luck, he will soon be
in a. so-called haunted" house
in Washington county.
Davis left here armed with q
revolver, nashlight and digging
tools.
The house, which is in an
isolated region, recently became
noted when rocks fell on a party
of engineers spending the night
there. Offers have come from
men all over the country to in
vestigate the house and spend 9
night there provided the reward
was large enough. Davis is the
first, however, actually to go to
the place prepared to meet what
ever comes.
Davis said:
This ghost probably knows
where treasure is buried and
is trying to tell somebody. Il
/ see it, / am going to ask it
in the name of the Lord. "
Davis said he had had much
experience in exploring haunted
houses, but never has seen g
ghost.

PARIS, Feb. 12.---Lovesickness il
the. latest and gravest ilnalady in

On still another occasion q

Every day the newspapers are

who put an end to their days In one

the peculiar malady Of the jazz age:
Formerly the lover cOntented hirn-

1T seems q far cry from Werther' 3

Dire Possibilities Of Mos

By DAVID III. CHURCH.
international News Service.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-THE success
full revolt Of few thousand wild
mountaineers In SPANS Moroccan
territory may have percussions and
reprecussions Of the greatest inn
second successful uprising of 81
Mohammedan people since the end
Of the great NYar, and it has been
watched. and 1t is being watched
with the greatest attention through
out the Mohanan1edan world And
not least In MOsIem India.
Lieutenant Commander J.. M.
Kenworthy, NJ. p, makes this
startling statement, and further de-
clares that there is 4 real menace
to the peace OF Europe In the
Moroccan situation.
The first successful Mohamne-
dan movement was the rising oe
the Turkish Nationalist under
Ghaxi Mustapha Kemal Pasha,
said Commander KenWorthy, and
az the result OF which the treaty or
Sevres was torn up, the treaty Of
Lausanne took its place, while
Turkey, bankrupt, exhausted, hnt
more compact and nationally alive.
re-emerged as the first Moslem
republic.
Second Revolt.
.The second successful Moslem
insurrectiOn since the armistice
has been the revolt Of the Riffian
tribes against Spanish rule. I'm.
fortunately this has spread to the
tribes inhabiting the area iEnme-
diately outside the territory Of
Tangier.
Spain has never been success.
full in her dealings with the Moors.
and least OF all with the Riffs The
reason possibly lis that there Is too
much Moorish blood running III
Spanish, veins, and the two races
are not sufficiently dissimilar
Where England acknowledged
failure in. Afghanistan, Spain need
not be ashamed TO follow her ex-
ample in the Riff country. And
this seems to be the wise decision
of the Directorate and the King.
The Spaniards, apparently, intend
to hold only the coastal strip and
the two principal ports and to leave
the Riffs Of the interior to take care
of themselves.
But a remarkable man has arisen
as Riffian national leader In the
person of AbdeI-Krim. He ts q
military genius of the first order. a
great leader of men, and as sucn

position to lead a jehad. or holy
war. throughout northern Africa.

jects, would be seriously affected.
There is. in fact. q new Pan-Mo-
hammedan movement about to be-
gin, stretching from the Atlantic
coast of Morocco through Algiers.
Tripoli. Egypt. Syria and Arabia to
Mesopotamia, that might in a few
years become formidable menace
to the worlds pace; more espe-
cially as its motive will be economic
as well as religious.
Non Interference
ION his side, the Riffian leader
must agree to policy of non-inter.
ference with French Morocco and
to the opening up of his country
to legitimate commercial enter
prise.
THE old British policy of friend

prove to be the best policy In the
