The merchants had been complaining, it is slid, of slow payment, while the sup ply officers claim they never receive statements of the accounts. The Red Triangle attraction at Camp fevir this week is "The Old Home sread." which will be rendered by a strong company. The big Chautauqua sbtent is now heated and l svery com fortable.

MAJOR PETERSON IS ARRESTEDFOR STATE Held on Account of Alleged Short age of $7,500 Public Funds Following Conference Between Gover nor and Assistant Attorney Gener al Warrant Was Issued tor Army Officer. (Special Star Telegram) Raleigh, Nov. 6. Major Geo. L. Pe terson is in custody of the sheriff here tonight on a warrant issued by the state charging , him with the embez zlement of the $7,600 whiih his ac counts were found short in a special audit through alleged adding machine manipulations while he was serving the North Carolina national guard as property and disbursing officer. Major Peterson, who is now of the general staff of the 30th North Caro lina troops at Camp Sevier, has been here since Sunday seeking to straight en out the tangle figures of the audit. The arrest followed a conference early in the evening between Governor Bickett and Assistant Attorney Gen eral Sykes. Their conclusion was that proper protection of the state interest in view of the large amount involved, and Major Peterson's intimated in tention to return to Camp Sevier be fore finally satisfying the state as to these accounts, made the arrest nec essary. They are apprehensive that Major Peterson's neturn to federal service might complicate the state in missing arrest later. Major Peterson spent . the earlier hours of the night with the sheriff in his room at the hotel and is under stood to have procured bondsmen. Assistant Attorney G said he was not satisfied with Major j Peterson's attitude in that while he ' constantly insisted that there was no shortage and that he could explain in I a few minutes the comnlioatinns simwr. by the audit, he hade no explanations in spite of the fact that they went over the accounts repeatedly. t I The Sunrise wpoa opmrs VVllly m m . m Comes with the morning cup of Maxwell Bouse COFFEE It starts the day right.

As the first ftep in the plans to supply necessaries to American soldiers and sailors who may be captured and confined in Ger man prison camps, the disbursing agent f the Red Cross at Berne, Switzerland, will be supplied with 4.500 tons of food immediately. This will comprise enough to feed 10,000 men for six months. From Berne the food will be sent at stated intervals In 10-pound packages to the several prison camps in Germany. Food for captured Amer icans will be the same in quantity and quality as that supplied by the govern ment to those in fighting service. The question is frequently raised as to whether these food supplies reach prisoners as intended. Red Cross offi cials here say the records of the Eng- Jish and French systems show that the percentage of loss from any ca,use has teen practically negligible. CARPENTERS STRIKE.

"Will Consider Plan For Concerted Ac tion Between Allies. Washington, Nov. 6. The coming meeting in Rome of the premiers of England, Italy and France, is indi cated . by official . dispatches received here today to be of greater scope than only the consideration of military measures to meet the German drive into Italy. M. Painleve, the French premier, was accompanied to the Ital ian capital by Franklin Bouillon, the French minister 1 of missions abroad. General Foche, French chief of-staff, and General Robertson. British chief of stac, were awaiting the premiers in Rome and in the meantime have been concerting measures for the co-operation of French and British troops with the Italian armies. General Smuts, of South African fame, is also in attend ance with Lloyd-George, the British premier. " An explanation of the general pur poses of the gathering of the states men and soldiers is given in the ca blegram as follows: "It is necessary that there should be a large plan of concerted action be tween the governments themselves in addition to technical military actions and orders hence the call to the prem iers and political heads of the enten te." - The advisability of creating an inter-ally war committee may possibly be . discussed and attracts much atten tion here.

Hattiesburg, Miss., Nov. 6. Eleven striking car repairers and inspectors of the Gulf & Shi plsland railroad were arrested -here last night by a United States marshal on the charge of having interfered with interstate commerce. The charge was made by United States Attorney George and the warrant for the arrests was the first of its kind ever issued in Mississippi. The men were taken to Biloxi today where they were to be arraigned before a United States commissioner. Richmond, Va., Nov. 6. Threats al leged to have been made by W. R. Smelley on the evening preceding the marViage of his cousin, Miss Virgie Smelley, to Thomas L. Walker, that he would kill either the bride or bride groom following their wedding, are reported this afternoon as being re sponsible for his arrest under suspi cion of having killed his relative in her home near LaCrosse, Mecklenburg county, last Friday. Relatives of the slain woman, a bride of 10 days, do not substantiate the report that Mrs. Walker told her brother that a negro attacked her and slashed her with a razor. Information received this afternoon from South Hill, which is near the scene of the crime, is to the effect that such report was given out with the nope that it would detract posse-s from the scene, throw them off the trail until an ar rest could be made, and probably pre vent a lynching. It is not now known exactly what the dying woman told her brother. Washington, Nov. 6. The first hun ger strike in the American agitation for votes for women is under way. Alice Paul, national chairman of the Womans' Party, now serving a seven months' sentence in jail here for pick eting the White House, is the striker and tonight she had been in the jail hospital without food for the preced ing 24 hours, stolidly threatening to Starve herself to. death unless her six compatriots, serving time for the same offense, get better food. So far the jail . officials are taking the strike calmly and are waiting for Miss Paul to get hungry enough to eat. Forcible feeding has not been discussed as yet. Miss Paul made somewhat of a record for herself as a hunger striker, in an English jail several years ago while militanting with Mrs. Pankhurst. She is a slightly built woman weigh ing about 90 pounds and of delicate constitution. She was taken to the jail hospital last night because she was ill. Miss Paul said she was ill because of bad food, bad' air and no exercise. Womans' Party officials say she and the other militants have been getting a coarse diet principally of salt pork and cabbage at the rate of eighteen times in thirteen days. When Miss Paul was taken to the hospital she was offered a diet including milk and eggs and without the salt pork and cabbage, but she announced she would have none of it unless her sis ters got the same. Tonight Dr. Cora Smith King, Miss Paul's physician, who was permitted to attend her, issued a bulletin saying Miss Paul was much (thinner . than when she entered the jail October 22; was refusing food and would not touch a morsel until she and her compan ions were accorded the same treat ment as 17 murderers who - have the privilege of special food, air, exercise and the newspapers. "If we are to be starved, I prefer to be starved at once," was the message Miss Paul sent out . to the workers. "There is no use giving us special food today and not tomorrow simply to keep us alive as long as possible." wm w ijiHr- -jsp "On the Inside Looking Out No matter how chilly it is outside, you're always comfortable if you have a Perfection OilHeater in the house.
