The new lavt provides that all veterans who own less than $2,000 worth of taxable jproperty are entitled to.a pension. "The old, law provided that widows of veterans" of the Civil -War must have married the veteran prior to January 1, 1808, in order to receive a pension, while the new law provide, that if they were married prior to January 1, 1875, they are entitled to a pension.

The speaker of the day was fitting, ly introduced by Mr. F, Ertel Carlyle, a young attorney of Lumberton. . Mr, Carlyle and Mr. McKinnon were fel low students at the university of North Carolina thia year, both being young Robesonians. Mc McKfnnon is a son of the late Mr. Graham Mc Kinnon of Rowland and is studying law. Mr. Carlyle used well chosen words in introducing the speaker and took occasion to pay tribute to the veterans of the Civil War. Mr. McKinnon's Addres The subject of Mr. McKinnon's ad dress was "The Lost Cause and the Victorious Spirit". He told of the things which led up to the beginning of the great conflict, of the great spirit of patriotism and heroism dis played by. the men who followed Lee and Jackson -during 'the four years of warfareand of the spirit in which the defenders of the lost cause re turned home to re-build the South land. The speaker paid glowing tri bute to the leaders of the Confederate army, declaring that the personnel of. the leaders was the grandest upon which the sun ever shone. The speaker also recalled the great part played by the army back home the womanhood of the Southland. To these he also paid tribute. Recalling the great advancement made in the South during the last fifty years, the speaker declared that if traced back the. credit' would be attributed to those who fought the battles of the Confederacy. Return ing to homes that were desolate and farms that were barren, the heroes stepped from the battlefields to the farm and through their efforts the Southland has become one of the most noted, and foremost sections of the country. In closing his masterly address the young speaker declared that the Soldiers of North Carolina were first in battle in the Civil War and then, relating some history of the recent World War, he declared that North Carolina soldiers vwere among the iirst to cross .the Hindenburg line. The address of Mr. McKinnon was a gem. It was well fitted and ap propriate to the occasion and was greatly enjoyed by all who heard it. Many rushed forward to congratulate the speaker when he had finished. Songs by Members of Junior Chapter After the address several songs were rendered by the Alfred Row land chapter of theDaughters of the Confederacy, "Diane" being included.

Germany Accepts Allied Ultimatum Rekhstag Tields to Final Demands of Allied Towers and Agrees to Fulfill Terms of Treaty of Versail . Terma Call for - Payment of Approximately $33,750,000,000. Germany has accepted the- ultima tum of the Allies. A Berlin dispatch of the 10 states: zfr- rUtt-? - The Reichstag tonight by a vote of 211 to 175, yielded to the final de. bo doine: ameed to fulfill th tArma' iiiaiiua jx ' luc .miicsu mm t-i s mill- in : Of the treaty of Versailles, ."to the capicity of the nation to do so.' Dr. Wirth, th Centuriai leader. finally succeeded in forming' a 'coali tion cabinet composed of Centrists, majority socialists and Democrats, which, confronted by grave necessity, speedily decided that acceptance of the ultimatum was the only course. In making this announcement to the Reichstag the new chancellor ask. d for an immediate decision by that body, and in the voting which follow ed, the government was sustained. The allied ultimatum required a definite reply, based on "-yes" or "no.", No conditional reply would be enter tained, and the ultimatum was formu lated to expire on the night of , May 12. ' The total sum which Germany is called upon to pay i9 6,750,000.000 iirppxima!te,ly-33r75SjDCV$S55 -Missionary from bmaJjrery yr out by Germany- in accordance with the provisions of the, treaty and the trial of war criminals must be put into effect. 4 Numerous other important terms, in , which Germanyhas been in de fault, will be enforced. , Non-compliance with the allied bl timatum would have subjected Ger many to the occupation by the ales of the Ruhr valley and whatever Other military and naval measures I I I - J..: UT- were deemed advisable, The new cabinet is generally re garded as a makeshift, largely un representative, but good enough - to accept, the Entente ultimatum,.-and thus avoid a French advance into' the Ruhr. . While the cabinet obtained a com fortable majority in the Reichstag, it has the. undivided support of only the majority socialist an.d clericals. The members of the other parties, it is declared, have given it support as a makeshift and are not pledged, io give it parliamentary support.- Chautauqua Booked For Next Year Fifty-Four People Signed Contract to Bring Redpath Chautauqua to Lumberton Next, Year Attrac tion,, of High Order for Each of the Ten Performances' During 5-Days Chautauqua Which Closed Tuesday Night. .; A 6-days' Redpath Chautauqua will be given in Lumberton next year. This was assured yesterday when Mr. David H. Fuller, canvassing the town with Mr. Hughes, Redpath superin tendent, secured 54 guarantors who were willing to assume responsibility for putting it over. Mr. S. F. Cald well also gave valuable, assistance in the canvass. The attractions given during the 5 days' Chautauqua which closed here Tuesday night were of a uniformly high order and the crowds which visited the big tent twice a day were delighted with the splendid perfor mances. It was on the merit of the Chautauqua which had just closed'. that it was possible to underwrite it for another year. The fact that the guarantors this year had to make good a deficit which amounted to $21.87 for each of the twenty-five did not deter many of the same ones from sienine up for next year. They re garded' it a3 an investment and not a loss. Members of the Woman's Club worked faithfully in selling season tickets and it was due to their efforts that the deficit was brought down to a small amount. Had the people realized the excellence of the pro gram there would have been no defi cit at all. And then the weather cut down gate receipts at some perfor mances. ' "Nothine But the Truth" was per haps the most delightful number of the entire program. It filled the tent Monday, night and that rollicking comedy shook the crowd with laugh ter from beginning to end. Other attractions were as good of their kind, but this was different. Dr. Hager man's lecture Monday afternoon on "The World We Live Ini' was an in spiration and a delight, and the Swiss yodlers and Miss Bargelt, cartoonist and reader, gave a treat to those who attended the concluding preformances Tuesday, in spite of the rain. Lumberton will look forward to the Redpath next year with assurance of five days of most excellent enter tainment. Alabama Church CallsRev. R. A. Hedgpeth. Rev. R. A.
