Jg| NOTHING TO FEAR:—Thou son of man. bo not afraid-—Ezekiel 2:6. TO SHOW THE WAY. 'Aft .A many months of delay the United States is giving some indications now of a new interest in world affairs. We have been content to follow the, liyut iff other countries since the ending of the war, but dispatches from Washington' indi<hits now that we are again lo show' the iwa.W to the rest of the world. Tlie reparations question is as great a problem today as it was the day the arm istice ttas signed. The allies, without the co-operation of the United States, have held several conferences on this perplex ing question. New demands have been agreen upon at each conference, and yet no basis has been found upon which Ger many could pay. Now the United States is’ showing in terest in the latest call for a reparations conference, and it is generally agreed now that the United States will be offi cially represented at the conference. And something will be accomplished now that the United States is willing and ready to lend a hand. All questions that probably will be set tled at the conference just called could have been settled by the Lijague of Na tions if the Uuited States had jioned that body. The conference to discuss the rep arations is similar to the League in many respects, but it passes the wrath of tlie Republicans because it will have a name different from the name of the League. It is a hopeful sign when the United States, under Republican leadership, is willing to show interest in European af fairs. And it shows without question that no nation, however powerful, cau live unto itself. There were many peo ple who argued against the League iu the belief that we did not need Europe; that European affairs were of no importance to us. That theory has been exploded. There is no real stability here when Eu rope is in ehaos. The Republicans would never have agreed to take part in inter national affairs such as reparations un less they had been shown that the situa tion was a very grave and serious one. and at the same time a situation affect ing the Uuited States. GRAVE CHARGES. The American Legion has made serious and grave charges against the Veterans' Bureau as it operates in some of the hos pitals established for the treatment of disabled veterans. The charges have been prepared for presentation to the Senate, committee making an investigation of cony ditions iu the bureau, and some of the most serious counts arc of such a nature that if found true drastic action should be taken by tbe government. The Legion charges that iu some hos pitals dope peddlers are allowed to ply their trade among the disabled soldiers. This is especially true in some of the hospitals on the Pacific Coast, the charg es assert. In addition to this, the Leg ion charges, in some hospitals the sick men are placed in wards so that they see their comrades da; in others it is charg- ed that the men must suffer the agony of ' hearing their buddies cough and spit irom morning to night. Many of the veterans have 6eeu sub jected to "brutality* aud curses’’ the charges in general states and conditions of alleged inhuman treatment" became so* bad in some hospital* that it led to almost open rebellion am nog the pa tients. To remedy the whole situation, the Region officials propose tp reorganize the whale hospitalization- system, eliminating all government hospitals for the treat ment of acute disease* had' the dUmtowtl of: all Army, Navy. Marine. Public HenMltand Rewrre eonffi iffirwciffM wjtffi tbe substitution, of grivate physicians to. treated tbe wounded veterans. \Jf la addition to that the wter- with the bureau used their of fice for graft and wasted much govern ment money. These charges are being fully investi gated as they should be. The Senate Committee has been working on them, for several weeks and it has much work to be done yet. The reports as submitted by the Legion Should be thoroughly inves tigated and where they are found to be true, and we believe many of them will be found to be true, drastic action should be taken. TRUE BILLS ARE LODGED AGAINST 77 MITCHELL MEN Alleged to Have Incited Riot Following Assault Upon Woman. Bakersville. N. C., Oct. 27.—True bills against 77 men charging conspir acy, unlawful, assembly and riot were re,tiyned by a Mftcbell County grand jury today in connection with the re cent forced exodus of negroes, except convicts, from Spruce Pine, following an assault on a 62-year-old white wo man. for which John Goss was sentenc ed to die in the electric chair. A total of 85 men were charged with having part in the conspiracy and these were named in the bill of indictment sent to the grand jury by the Solicitor. Fifteen of the 77 men against when true bills were returned, plead guilty to day and prayer for judgment was con tinued until the regular term of Mitchell County Superior Court, which will be held early in November. Bonds of S2OO each were required for their appearance and bonds of similar amount will be re quired o( olhei-s to be arrested im mediately. The charge to which the men pleaded guilty today and on which the true bills were returned follows: "With force and arms did willfully and unlawfully con spire. confederate and agree among themselves and with others to .the jurors unknown, to unlawfully assemble themselves together and arm themselves with pistols, rifles. shotguns and other deadly weapons.-and to unlawfully tbs sail It. intimidate and drive away negroes being employed at "Spruce Finl and nearby points." The 15. men who pleaded guilty in cluded the husband of Mrs. Mack Thomas, who was assaulted by the negro now . under sentence of death. Those submitting today Were: Mack Thomas, Dexter Buehanan. Columbus Ledford. Will Ledford, fame Buehanan. C- A. McMahan. Peter Biddix. Bud Willis. Midton Buchanan, John Pittman. Stokes McKinney. Fayette Ward. Dot Buchanan. Andrew Greene aud Roby Buchanan. The opinion prevails that in view of I the' 1 Wet that tije conspiracy was not premeditated and was the result of an intense feeling fallowing the assault, that "the Court will be iemient upon the 77 defendants against whom true bills have been returned- STATE LABOR WILL SUPPORT TEXTILES IN ORGANIZATION Gathering a( Salisbury Goes on Record For Education of Mill Children.

Cab.mii Saving, TAR HEEL SEEKS DAUGHTER IN NEWSPAPER OFFICE Dallas T. Ward TeUs.of Brentsie Leav ing For Her Flrct Job and Not Re turning. Chicago Evening American. Today an old gentleman came into The Evening American office with tremb ling lips and eyes that shifted from one desk to another. "You wanted ?" he was asked. “I’m looking for Brentsie,” quavered the old man. "Brentsie? Nobody with us by that name.” “But. Brentsie. she's gone away, and I'm looking, for her. They said you'd find her for me. That’s what I'm here for.” Tiic old man sat down aud waited confidently then. Here is his story: Six years ago he came to Chicago from North Carolina. His name is Dallas T. Ward, and once a long time ago, his folks down there had their miles of plan tations and 110 salves aud all that fort of thing. Then hard luck overtook the Wards and at 71—six years ago—old Dalias Ward and bis little daughted. Brentsie. came to Chicago. Last Monday morning old Dallas es corted Brentsie to the office of the Amer ican Medical Association, Dearborn and and Grand avenue, where she obtained a position as a stenographer. "I kissed her bood-by and said I hoped she'd like her first position.” said the old man. "and that’s the last I've seen of her." Tlie- missing Brentsie is 16: she is large for her age. She is pretty, too. old Dallas said, with chestnut brown hair and laughing blue eyes. She is about 5 feet and 4 1-2 inches tall and weighs, maybe. 110 pounds. She wore a blue skirt, light blouse and a pretty little toque, with colored flowers. "I know you can find her." said her aged parent. "I'll wait right here until you do. please." Somehow The Evening American must find the missing Brentsie, because her daddy, old Dallas Ward from North Car olina. can’t cat or sleep until she is found. He won't even stay home at the Hotel Elmo. 516 Rush Street, where he and Brentsie have a little home. What are we gtMng to do about it? FIGHT STARTED TO STOP ALL RODEOS AND WILD WEST SHOWS Claim is Made Tlia-t They Are Most I Flagrant Examples of Cruelty to Dumb j Animals. New York. Oct. 26.—A commission to fight the production of Rodeos and wild west shows, termed as tlie most flagrant examples of cruelty to animals, was di rected today in resolutions adopted by tlie Amerieau World Humane Confer ence. Tin l /•(■solutions were submitted by Mrs. V. A. E. Dustin, of Cleveland. Declaring that no animal performs uu ess driven to it by some from of cruelty. Mrs. Dustin condemned bull tights, ro deos. "wild west" shows. Alaskan don races aud motion pictures of "stampedes” and other animal stunts. 'Tlie making of motion pictures.'” she said, "frequently involved the risk of death or injury to large numbers of ani mals." She cited several movie play* now being shown in various parts of the country and declared these productions were made possible only through the greatest cruelty to dumb beasts." "in some picture," she added, "hun dreds of steers were driven into a stam ■iede with the result that many were killed and others painfully injured.” She referred to a picture iu which a goat danced grotesquely on its hind legs. The act was made possible, she asserted, because ammonia had been poured into the animal's ear. causing him to pump up aud down. Tlie Cabarrus County Fair. Stanly News-Herald. Tlie Cabarrus County Fair which closed last week, proved to be oue of the most successful county fairs ever held in North Carolina.

IHE CONCORD PMCT TRIBPRB WAR GRAVES WELL TENDED Legion Post in Porto Reports C-omptaints Unfounded. Paris. Oct. 29.—Accusations that the graves of American * soldiers buried in France* are sadlyf neglected have been found to be untrue by Paris Post No. 1 of the American J«pgion, it was an nounced today. H. C. Huffer, Junior, vice commander of the post, has cabled to Lamuel Bowles, National Adjutant of the Ameri can Legion at Indianapolis, an expres sion of the surprise left here by mem bers of tlie organization that any such complains should be made. “The American Graves Registration Rurenu in Paris,” Mr. Huffer cabled, “is ably managed and is doing effective work. In less than two years 46.000 bodies have been exhumed and sent to the United States. Thirty thousand other bodies have been exhumed and re-in terred in metallic caskets, which work was only completed about six months ago. ” “Since then and to June Ist last, con tracts have bqgn let for permanent 'con structions and beauHfication. Up to dc tober Ist Belleau wmetery was 45 per cent, completed. Permanent, construc tion work in other cemeteries is progress -Mr. Huffer also has explained to Ad tant Bowles that the subscriptions so licited at Belleau are not for the ceme tery but are applied to a fund for the purchase of Belleau Wood and (lie mea dow adjoining the cemetery. The appearance of disorder in the cemeteries, the pos official explained, is a consequence of the exhumation of bo dies to be sent to America and the re ceffiining and re-interment of the re mains that are to be left in France. This wnr, it is said, is requiring com plete re-arrangement of tlie cemeteries. New Orleans Cotton Review. New Orleans. Oof. 28. —Tlie price of cotton last week was sent to new high levels for tlie season, new high records b gng soiade ' repeatedly up to Friday when tlie December ■ position traded at 20.52 cents a pound. At this stage the active mouths in ■ the contract market were 112 to 122 points over the last sales of the preceding week, tin the ‘■lose prices were 78 to 102 points net higher on the week. 'December closing at 20,22. In tlie spot department prices gained 02 points on middling. which dosed at 20.50 cents a pound against 22-25 on the close of this week last, yea r. There were two important factors working for higher prices. tlie lower range of crop ideas resulting from much unfavorable weather in the belt, more particularly in the extreme western sections and signs of improving trade in the large textile markets of the world. Markets on tihis side of the water were started, soon after the mid dle of the week, by cables saying that one firm, doing a large business in the far east, had bought a million pieces of doth in the Manchester market. At the end of tlie week, New York telegrams received her claimed that some Worth street firms had been doing the largest business in their history and that one firm alone put through transactions amounting to more than 10,000.000 yasds of goods on one day toward the end of the week. Private crop estimates of file week reflected a decided downward revision in figures, earlier estimates ranging from 0,816,000 hales to 10.500.000 while on the dosing session an estimate of 0.566,000 bales appeared and was seriously considered h,v tlie trade. The question of the size of the crop will be [brought into greater prominence this coming week by the condition and in dicated crop yield due from the depart ment of agriculture- Thev will carry the crop down to October 25 aud will be Issued Friday. Thursday will be a holi day yi this market. The end of the week seems likely 'to be uliQost wholly domi nated by the bureau report. Giant- Whiskey Camp is Uncovered in Georgia.
