President Reassures
Allies They Will Get
Full Share Of Arms
Declares There Will
Be No Friction in
New War Council
By JOHN c. HENRY.

Predicting unanimity in deci-
sions affecting warfare in the
Pacific, President Roosevelt this
afternoon offered his assurances
that all fighting supplies will be
made available on the basis of
equity and good faith to the
United Nations forces.
The President discussed this mat
ter during a press conference ex-
change on the functions of the new
Pacific War Council established here
yesterday.
Informed that Australia and New
Zealand have voiced a desire to be
represented on the Munitions As
signment Board as we'll as on the
War Council, Mr.. Roosevelt said the
division and distribution of mate
riel is more properly the task of those
who produce it. The United States
and Great Britain are currently
sharing the duties of assigning sup
plies to various theaters of war.
Scouts Fear of Conflict.
1t was then that the President
spoke his assurance that this task
would be done in good faith and that
there need be no fear of conflict
among the United Powers.
Asked if India might be added to
the nations represented on the new
council. Mr.. Roosevelt pointed out
that India Is not actually in the Pa
ciflc theater, designating it instead
as being in a separate Indian the
ater of war.
The new council will be a consult
ing body. he emphasized, and will
not be vested with responsibility for
planning supply measures or devils
ing fighting strategy. It's broad and
general concern will be that of sur
veying progress of the war and the
success of the United Nations de-
Tending themselves against the pow
ers of darkness.
Reads Personal Letter.
Early In his conference the Chief
Executive had used the expression
powers Of darkness" in reading tc
the assembled reporters the follow
ing extract from a personal letter
which he said he had received dur
ing this Holy Week. The extract
follows:
mo matter what may be the re-
ligious faith of individuals, most
Americans see in Calvary's cross the
eternal symbol that light will con-
quer darkness. truth prove stronger
than error and life greater thar
death. 1t is the only sign by which
we can conquer the powers of black
paganism that tow threaten every
thing which we hold dear"
The President told his conference
that he had received word from
Chairman Norman H. Davis of the
American Red CrosN that the appeal
Of last December for a war fund
of $50, 900 900 had been reached on
February 7 and has now passed the
SIS, 900 900 mark.
Informed that Washington had
been reported tagging In meeting
its quota, he said the more atten-
ton paid to such an important
cause the better and asked that
Washington papers please copy.

HARVEST FOR VICTORY

Cotton crops good this year, and the price OF
will be high Jobs OF all kinds plentiful wages are
generally higher MI Of which that almost everyone
will have money than formerly and thanks the anti
initiation efforts Of the Administration these additional dol
lars will suffer but little decrease in relative value
During normal times this increased ability buy would
make itself manifest in the purchasing OF automobiles
homes clothing and other necessities and luXues But today
while the buying power OF the average citizen is becoming
greater many OF the commodities which he formerly bought
the market; consequently, there Will be
money and fewer things to buy.
One important item, however. is the market That
item continued freedom OF these nted Every
citizen has the opportunity and the duty OF making
that the blessings OF life liberty and the pursuit OF happiness
shall be lost Every additional dollar should represent
other opportunity invest in liberty.
We believe sincerely that the Negro farmers and farm
abocrs willing and ready do their part for America
We know that the traditional loyalty and patriotism Of the
Negro American is keen today
Because Of conviction that good results will follow,
we submit the following proposals:
That each planter who hires picked by the hun
lrcd make provisions to have savings stamps hand
and suggest each picker voluntarily accept small per
cent Of his pay in stamps.
,. That each einner and each cotton buyer make il a
policy to suggest the buying bond each oil his
customers
1t our belief that the plan will work and that the
1912 harvest will be truly Victory Harvest

NO. 14013 EQUITY IN THE CIR
CUT COURT FOR WASHINGTON
COUNTY.
The object of this suit is to pro-
cure a divorce A Vinculo Matri-
monii for the complainant, William
j. Kallmyer from the Respondent,
Josephine Kallmyer. The Bill
states that the parties were mar
ried in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
on the 23rd day Of May, 1921, and
that thereafter they resided as
husband and wife in Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania, and Allegany Coun-
ty, Maryland, until about January
l, 1941, when he removed to Ha-
gerstown, Maryland, where he has
resided ever since; that one child
was born as result Of said mar
riage union and that said child is
still minor and in the custody
of the complainant; that on or
about the middle of December,
1910, the said defendant, without
any cause or reason therefor,
abandoned and deserted the COM
plainant and has continued to live
separate and apart from him; the
said abandonment is deliberate
and final on her part and without
any hope of reconciliation between
the parties; that the complainant
was a faithful, chaste and affec-
tionate husband towards the said
respondent and gave her no cause
or reason to abandon him; that
the complainant is a resident of
the State of Maryland, but the re-
spondent is a nonresident of the
State of Maryland and is a resi-
dent Of the State of Florida but
her address is not known to your
complainant. The Bill then prays
for divorce a vinculo matrimonii
for the complainant from the re-
spcndent, and for other and further
relief.
1t is thereupon this End. day of
September, A. D., 1912, by the Cir
cult Court for Washington County,
Maryland, sitting in Equity, order
ed that the Complainant, by caus-
ing copy of this Order to be in
serted in some newspaper publish
ed in Washington County, Mary
land once in each of four success
sive weeks prior to the 3rd. day of
October, 1912, give notice to the
absentee respondent, Josephine
Kallmyer, a nonresident of the
State of Maryland, and not residing
therein, of the object and sub
stance of this suit, and warning
her to be and appear in this Court,
either in person or by solicitor, on
or before the 10Th day of October,
1912, and answer the premises
and show cause, if any she has,
why a decree ought not to be
granted as prayed.
