The President has issued a procla mation declaring the war ended, hut it ia believed that at leant a few of the profiteers failed to hear him, Ona encouraging thing about the expression coming out of the Wash ington conference so far they seem to rccogniio the fact that the way to disarm is to disarm. It is well that T. W. Wilson, atty. at law of Washington, P. C, is not croaker, else ho might slip Mr. Hughes a little advice from St. Luke, say the 20th verse of his sixth chap ter. ' An Atlanta woman died at the age of 105. Curious. Wo should think that n person who had tood Atlanta for 10b years ought to be made of material durable enough to last for ever, M.i..a. -...u. jm-i What is one's meat is another's poison. Business is perking up, here nd there, as a result of the Wash ington conference developments, but. tho poor war brides are not doing well at all, at all. Tha gist of the foreign statesmen's remark I on' Secretary Hughes' pro posal seems to be an enthusiastic as sertion that virtue is praiseworthy nd vice is sinful, and ain't nature wonderful after all! Comparative figures show that Greensboro's tobacco market is one of the smallest. But consider Its ago or rather lack of age. It is a lively youngster of which its parents an' prouder and prouder every day. They offered the Tennessee, Ala bama and Georgia railroad nt auc tion at Chattanooga yesterday. No bids were received. Evidently, the Tcnnesseean has a pretty accurate idea of what a railroad is worth these days. The French Bluebeard has signed a contract to go on the stage in the event that he is cleared of the charge of murdering 10 wives and a few assorted relations of theirs. But if it is proved that he didn't do it, what will be his drawing power! It has been explained that accep tance by Britain and Japan of the American proposal "in prinolplo' means that they will not argue the point nt present. It is next, in order for someone to interpret what "in spirit" menus in this particular con nection. And not her thrrtjr thnt -thirm lit ter with this country and seriously the matter, toois the fact that Guil ford county this year raised n aver ago of only si.y bushels of wheat to the acre. The seasons are much to blame, of course, but at that It is a -fBir'TttTPTtiniT-ns ttrAVlrotheV ThT'hcsl ppsiiihle results are bring obtained from the land when the yield falls as low ns tim. ' Greensboro is in position to rejoice with those that do rejoice in Winston Salem upon the completion .of a hotel that its held to bo worthy of tho town, Greensboro had a much harder job of putting its project through than Winston-Salem has had, because of a . certain world war that came along; nevertheless it is understood here that such a structure is an achieve ment, no light job, under the most favorable conditions. Greensboro peo- nla Trtlt tnat na thftii ITnravtlt nairvk. bora have felt, that no other similar task could be of aa much importance; and Greensboro has found that this wait correct. - ARGUMENT AND PERSUASION AS THE FIRST LINE. It would be hopeloM to expe.ct that the pcsalml itla Mr, Slmondi should find no fly In th ointment at Wash ington, Ilii doloful prediction that Europo'a aommendatlon of the Hughes propoeal is insincere Is there' fore, entirely in eharacter, and is not to be given too much weight. At tho same time, it would be fool ish not to allow it any weight at all. The apparent success of the Hughes move Is rather too complete to bo real. H Is inconceivable that in a con ference representing all the contend ing factions of the world there should develop no opposition whatever; and it is altogether reasonable to believe that opposition will unfold as the questions of tho far east are ap proached. This much is certain: it is no part of the Hughes program to force an American plan of settlement of the question of the Pacific upon Jupan, If wc bad Intended to ram our own ideas through the conference, it would have been foolish in the extreme to have proposed even a partial disarm ament; for It would take moro battle ships than we have now to compel Japan to bend to our will. It is evi dent that Mr. Hughca proposes to rely upon argument and persuasion to bring about a solution of tfie pres ent difficulties. Argument and per suasion may -fail but it is higity probable that the secretary of state at that his not abandoned any avail able weapons, for it ia incredible that tho American people would go to war to eject the Japanese from Shantung, for Instance, or for any cause luss grave than a Japanese Invasion of American territory. And. if wo are not going to shoot, there is no sense in reaching toward a gun. For, contrary to a widespread im pression prevalent in Europe, the United States government rarely bluffs. When Uncle Sam makes a grab for his hip-pocket, it is a sure- thing gamble that there's going to be hot lead a-flying soon. Mr. Simonds' position obviously is that it is a dubious proceeding to ad mit this frankly. He holds to the pessimistic view that Japan, at least, and probably the rest of the nations represented nt the conference, have no intsntion whatever of attempting to secure the foundations of peace on bases of justice and right; and that our prompt and complete exposure of our own plans will gain us no real support, but only derision. He may be right; but if he is right, then the (inference was hopeless from tho start. America cannot, and will not, piny the old game of chicanery and double-dealing Europe calls diplo macy. Europe may bo constitution ally incapable of a square deal; but if o, so much tho worse for Europe, for we will not play any other game. And wo have tho slakes. America can abandon this confer ence tomorrow, and be in better po sition than any of the rest of the conforaes, Our federal taxes are $242 a head, as against Japan's $400, England's $500 and France's $000. If these other nations don't want to piny a straight game, we can hrow four billions every year into our navy, and still be no worse off as regards taxation than France is now. We can build a navy that would smother all tho rest combined, and still pay no more taxes-than the Englishman is paying today. When all is said and done, we are potentially the most formidable menace to the peace of the world that now exists. It is of the first importance to the others to see to it that that potentiality is never translated into actuality. We have faith to believe that this obvious factor is recognized by for eign statesmen. After all, the Japan ese and the British aro not altogether devoid of brains. They can see as far into a millstone as the average Amer ican, and they have as keen a realiza tion of which is tho buttered side of their bread. Even old stupidities and outworn traditionalism surely cannot blind them to the fact that in this conference they-have far more at stake than we. And sooner or later they must come to know that crooked work will lose for them for, moro than it is possible for it to gain. ' , THE RED CROSS' FOREMOST TASK. The ingratitude of republics sty. prisei no one, it is proverbial. Re publics are lacking in gratitude to 'warTWi5iTwK6"awve"ffiem Veauie republics, as other countries, aro made up of individuals who have lit tle, in the average, of that quality which has .been ironically described at a lively sense of favors to bo ve- Of the 600,000 jobless veterans, "moro Americans thun composed the First American army, than fought at St. Mihlel," "walking the streets of our towns nnd cities and wondering where the next meal is to conic from,' the American Legion Weekly said, re cently. "That is their chief concern- but they have plenty of time on their hands, and perhaps some of it is dc voted to wondoring what America meant when she said, as her sons left for the camps and the ships and France, that the. country would he theirs when they Returned." It was not you, Dear Reader, dr we, who said it; or if either of us said it. it ia not we that have forgotten. It is the next man, and the next; it is the hundred million men and women, less the men of the army, who constitute the republic that have forgutten the fervent patriotic flro that lately burned in their breasts. It is they who are no longer en. thuilastlc, not only about the able- bodied soldiers who lack employment, but tho pitiful army of the disabled These, too, are forgotten. It is the way of republics. Tho lata onemy have a suying, Undank wt dir Weldt Lohiu But these are not altogether for gotten. There Is tha Red Cross. There is something of tha profei- slonaVto be sure, in the interest thi Red Cross takes in the disabled sol diers, jn increasing number; but it is an intelligent interest. It redeem! much of tha Ingratitude of a thought less nation, glad to be rid of war and all thought of war, to devote full consideration to the interests, the ambitions, tha pleasures, the desires that engrossed them bpfore. What time has a man who must save his souli or amass a fortune bigger than his neighbor's, or win public office, or all of them, for sontimental pon dering over a disabled soldier even though the soldier was wounded vi cariously for the citizen? But tho Red Cross sees to it that tho citizen does exercise some degree of gratitude, vicnrlous though that, also, is; ordinarily, about a dollar's worth per year. They not only look after the soldiers, they look after the rest of us, thnt we do not altogether miss our duty; they manage to collect from the public. As for the. able-bodied survivors, wo believe that they can, and will, look after themselves. The moro they gather into tho Legion, the more they unite, the more they exercise their power of citizenship, moral and other, the better, we believe, it will be for tho country as well as for them. They have the flower of tho matured young manhood, the intelligence, the strength, und if they cannot use it to secure a decent consideration for what is their due, as the years pass, wc for one shall bo surprised. The Grand Army of the Republic has been looked after and the Grand Army - of the Republic has been, through the years, a power not to be disregarded. Maybe there was a po litical alliance. Maybo there have been pension scandals, that looked particularly largo and scandalous fmm this side of the lino. But if the veterans had not been a composite force, able to- secure respect, how much practical gratitude do you sup pose they would have received? Look at the Confederate veteran, and the melancholy pittance that has been doled out to him. The veterans of the world war will probably bo ablo to look out for themselves; but if they should ever run away with the situation, tho ma jority that they run away with will deserve what It gets. Tho disabled, the others, their comrades, will al ways remember; and the Red Cross is their powerful, Intelligent, minis- tering friend. Wc dare hope that when Timo has had his way a little further, and the situution shall huve become clarified, the ingratitude of the republic is not going to be such a sickeningly impressive thing, after la',1. 1 WHEN IT WILL PLAY OUT. The other day this newspaper haz arded the opinion, based in part on guessing, that about or before 1930 the present highway commission financial scheme would play out. In other words, the income from license taxes and gasoline sales tax would be insufficient longer to pay interest on highway bonds, maintenance and ad ministration, One basic assumption was that maintenance would run ahout a mil lion dollars a year. Much that la classed under the head of mainte nance has in fact been reconstruc tion, and the amount of this work will decrease. The most of the soil roads taken over by the state were in a condition of neglect, and the cost of putting them ln,condition has been more than will be that of keeping them tn condition. And the whole iiiachinery of maintenance has natur ally been less efficient during . its formative period than it will be In future. Therefore maintenance costs for the year may bo coniidtred excessive, and wc expect that they will decresso -for, some years, at least. But they will run sub'tnntially beyond a mil. lion dollars, enough so to upset our alculattons. Item, the highway commission is ipr-edod up, and speeding up. An an. mini administrative cost of $2;i0,000 wns conditioned on ten million dol. lars construction a year. The com. jiiission.is. runnings Iar.boyond that; the demand from the people for roads is terrific, and tho commission ma- hinery has been considerably ex panded. That costs money. The $250,000 a year is insufficient for a 10 or 15 million dollar expenditure. Kern, there is some loss in the fund's revenues through lack of ade quate machinery for collection of li cense fees. License fees collected do not so far amount to two and a half million for the year; nearer two mil. lion. The whole will not greatly ex. cced three millions. ' Nineteen twenty-four is a better guess as to the time when the scheme will play put than 1987.- REBUILDING THE TRAFFIC LAW. Members, of the council have been giving some thought for months past to the entiro reconatructlon of the Greensboro traffic lawi, and are till of open mind about soma phases of tho problem. Tht ruloi mentioned in this paper yesterday morning rep resent tha progress mad in a task that is far from simple or easy. It duos not make very much differ unci what the law says about certain of these things, sinoa there la not Ilk. ly to be provided any spacing rnachln ery for enforcement, Tha matter of parking in tha congested district is one that can be handled, aa has been proved in other places ; tha regula tions can be enforced ljy tho simple expedient or employing an officer to give his time to the job, and ho will have to work. If he ia to check and mark tima on all eari, he will have to keep on working, long after the people have become trained to the ob servance of the law, and there are no more violations. It looks as if 4n general! the fathers are about to giv Greensboro a sensi ble and workable body of traffic ordi nances. Thli will end many of the difficulties, but they can never be all disposed of in town that has its main streets aa narrow as are those of Greensboro. PUBLIC PULSE THB BOOK HRVrnW DEPARTMENT.

THE FIRST ROUND WITH THE PHILISTINE GIANT .".w-inVbj.n. . r'l RED CROSS ROLL CALL STARTS THIS MORNING 6,000 Memba-ra Are Hxpeeted to Be Slgaed Before Iay Is Over. Women Are In Charge. Today IT teams of Ureensboro wom en, a small but militant army battling ror the local chapter of the American tied Cross, will go forth to gather memberships In the fifth annual Koll Cull, And, like unto the lied Cross which they represent, tho ladles haven't failed yet. Not only are they expected to emerge from tha campaign triumphant, but It Is confidently ex pected that the 6,000 memberships asked from among the men, women and children of the city will be for them meroly a starting point. It Is the first time that the local chapter has laid the whole burden of tha an nual oampalan upon the ladies, and they are expected to ahow what roally ran be done In this as Miss Louise Alexander, dlreotor of tho oampalgn, puts It ."new age." Soma Indication of how the people-of the city are receiving ihu lied Cross plea this year was In ili-tl in a re port made at the oruniiMiiNon meeting last night, when Jllsa Gladys Wilson, mangier-Of the division that ta han dllng the Industrial plants, reported that many plants had already gone "over tha top" with 100 per cent mem berships. It waa an announcement that thrilled the assembled workers and added leaven to' their enthusiasm. While not all tha members of the several teams found it possible last night to attend the organisation meet ing at tha Y. M. C.

Wjils, roll call ohalrman, presided, and there were Informative and Inter esting talks, following the service of upper, by those most familiar with the work that Is being done here and throughout the nation br the Hed Cross. Miss Clyde reels, secretary nf the horns service section: Mrs. Dorothy Hayden, Qullford county Red Cross health nurse; and Mrs, W. C. A. Ham mcl, secretary of the Oreensboro chap- tar ana in charge of tht division of national endeavor, were the nrlnoloal speakers for the cause. 'Could every man, woman and child of the city have heard these reports of work done and large programs of - work projected, every man, woman and child of tho city would today become a member nf tha Red Cross without solicitation. It was a revelation of aervlce even to those fairly familiar with the organi zation. A tremendously great service Is be ing rendered the disabled ex-sorvloe men a servloe that touches their fam ilies as well as thcmscilves. But that Is far from being all. The review given by Mrs. Hayden of educational work along lines of health and hygiene opened vistas of accomplishment of which the average person seldom dreams. And then Mrs. Hummel aet at ease the minds of any who may have flV -ojoatm at -the-fact that half the membership money rocs Into national work, who showed that 9T per oent of this entire amounts goes for actual re lief, only tbrae par cent being con sumed in administration. The keynote of the whole ninctlni was that, while the war time work i f the Ited Cross was big. Its peace tlmo place In the affairs of the community and nation 1s svsn bigger; and - men being the case It ia felt that Greens boro people will Increase rather than diminish their support of It.

The resolutions are: "That wa protest against the waste, the crime and the folly of war as the means of settling international dis putes. That the interests of nations common and Interdependent, not ex clusive and antagonistic, and their re lations ought, accordingly, to be ad justed on tho basis of this controlling fact." Afraid of Competition, "That competition In armuments In time of peace violates this relationship, Is lrt itself a guarantee that the peace will be broken and makes financial demands out of all reason, handicap ping the economic recovery of the world, and necessitating a tax burden which the people are not able to bear." "That wo commend the wisdom and the humanity of the President of the United States In calling thoc onforence on the limitation of armaments already In session at Washington, and respeo fnlly petition him and our representa tives; In eonfereneff ' to insist that the Christian principles of good will, brotherhood and Justice control its dls eusalons and Its agreements. "That we gratefully recognize the boldness, vigor a-nd promise of the American proposal In the initial ses sion, and seek the divine blessing upon every succeeding session to the end that the conference may issue In relief from Intolerable financial burdens, In release from the horror of Impending war, and prepare the way for the ear lier universal reign of righteousness in the earthly life of man." Two outstanding features in the re port of the board of missions ns pre sented to tho convention this afternoon attracted attention. One of the Inter esting featurea ia that or tna reorgan ization of the work' of the board Into departments In order that there may be the largest measure of success. In connection with this feature It Is noted that th board has adopted a policy somewhat different from that which has prevailed for some years. The pre vious policy comprehended the small est possible headquarters organisation, and depended largely upon the volun tary service of a large number of pas for the needed field work The present policy, as reported by the board. recognizes me important vi , workers, giving all of their time to the work in order to properly command tha largest measure of denominational suocess.

Stephens and Mrs l,ydl Yates Hllllard. Mrs. Hllllard having charge of tho elementary work. The Sunday school work becomes a regular department of the mission board, as doca the Baptist Young 1'eo ple's union. The young people's work has also received-more attention from the board and Secretary Perry Morgan has as his assistant Miss Klma Leigh J-'arabow aa secretary of Junior work. North Carolina Baptists were Justly proud of their Sunday school work, only 176 churches in the state report ing no Sunday aohools. Secretary i d dleton has shown himself one of the most aueoessful Sunday school workers In tho south. Last year the board of mieslone expended 9.220.77 In .he work of the department of Sunday achooU and UMt.Oi In the department of the Baptist Younar Pooole'a union. e 1 I i Modest sums these and yet far In ad vance of previous years. Iteuurt Of Mission Secretary, Corresponding Secretary Maddry re ports tliAt In the department of missionary-pastor work he has had during tho year lllo workers, an Increase nf 32 over the prgvlonu year. The'te workers report '1 .668 conversions b.HI additions to the mission churches served, over JD.000 Hundny school pu pils, 488 miaatoti study classes, and tn these classes 1,530 men studying mis. Hons. The women have been studying mlslsons for years, but the men's classes aro a new feature. These work ers report tho organization of 36 now churches, the erection .-of 31 meeting houses and that 167 arq now In course of erection. Tho total expense of this department was $63,362.12, but It also appears that these workers gathered In their mission fields contributions for the mlsiaonary, educational and benev olent work of tho denomination of over $50,000, besides other contributions to local expenses of over $61,068. Possibly tho most remarkable de partment report is that of tho Wom an's Missionary union. The total ex pense of this department for tha year wns $l,7fi5.13, and of this amount $3,273.12 was paid by the board of mis sions. The union reports 1,1)58 organ ised societies and 89,4111 women enlisted In this work. During tha year 141 new societies were organised. Tha total contributions of the women's societies of the state for the year wore 1314,004. The board of missions reports a bal ance In the treasury at the beginning of the convention year, November 1; of $11.3116.411. One year ago the treasurer reported a debt of something ovar $tl.noo.
