the presa of the country tonight.
Women Bid Well.
"Lots of folks were apprehensive

"Of coarse, we knew sooh people ware
foolish, bat there were lots of them.
Looking hack now ws- tee that the
women not only played a conspicuous
pr.rtinthe recent rnmpaign, hut sur
prised the men folks by voting with
fine and conservative judgment.'
" To this statement the antis except, in
one isrued from headquarters earlier.
The argument that women have bo
place in politics was more than demon
strated fa the recent election," pne of
the anti-leaders 'said today. "Did
I women Vote for the league of Notions!
They did not. Qii the other hand, the
"'great majority of them voted just as
their men - folk! Voted Irrespective tff
whnt the candidate stood for.
Take the vote" In' Jrour' own' State,"
this . antt said to the News and Ob
server correspondent. Did the women
of North Carolina exercise any discrimi
nation between ment They did not.
They voted -t.he straight Democrat ie
ticket jnst at their husbands of broth
ers have beet doing all along."
"But the womea vote in Tennessee
pot that State in the Republican column,
didn't HP she was asked.
'Well, indeed, it didaot," was the
eanstie reply,
The Republicans jnst simply proved
themselves Metter organizers in Ten
nessee than the Democrats. Local con
dition caused the mem to east protest
ing votes and the women simply fol
lowed nit. It happened that in Eastern
Tennessee, where the country is over
whelmingly Republican, there were more
women registered than in the Demo

71 can assure you, however, that the
ntis are going to fight aa Jthey have
never fought before. The sentiment in
North Carolina is overwhelmingly
against suffrage. If the"Teanessee legis
lature were to vote today it would
reject, the amendment. And there is
such a thing aa undoing what has been
done."
vThe suffragists say these views are
bone tf the wildest imaginations.
Woman las entered the political arena
and aha is here jn stay, Mrs. Upton in
sists. - ; -i. ;V ,v..;j, -
If anybody thought women would
beeoms active for a brief period dur

person - little understands women , and
ta due for a big surprise. " Women are

The resolution which precipitated
Dr. Rankin's reply wss passed Nov.
4th, and contains if sections, The
first , section endorses ' the "educational
campaign," waged by the State Board
and believes that work along "health
lines has saved a great number of lives"
Passing from this opening endorsement
it proceeds in the next four sections
to condemnation. It is against treat
ment when there are sufficient physi
cians to do it aad tak care of the
poor besides.' It decries the reflection
apoa the physicians for their willing
ness to take eare of these eases, and
that group operations are conducive
to "bad results." -v
Of Socialises: Medietas.
The resolution says that local physi
cians are better fitted for judging the
financial ability, of the patient than
are officers of the State Board of
Health. The resolution says that
every operative ease "should be studied
sad a complete examination made and
a careful history token, then treated
when the operator is not forced to tsx
himself or his assktants, avoiding ex

THREE IMPORTANT ,
QUESTIONS BEFORE
LEAGUE ASSEMBLY
Matter of Control of Natural
Resources Starts Conflict
In Committee,
MEASURE DESIGNED TO
PREVENT MONOPOLIES
Canadians and Others Opposed
To Interference With Inter,
sal Affairs ; Question of Mas
dates and of Successor To
Dansiff High Commissioner
Also On Slate
Geneva, Nov. 28. (By the Associated
Press.) The question whether or not
countries shall be allowed to control
and dispose at will of, their natural
resources is ths subject sf a sharp con
flict ia a committee of the assembly.
The contest arose ever a resolution by
Gustavo Addr, of Switxerland, setting
up a permanent economie and financial
commission, one of the duties of which
would be to examine measures for pre
venting monopolies in 'raw materials
and the means of controlling their dis
tribution. The resolution is based on Article 28
of the covenant, which assures all
mr itmrrmtfti-' s r wrTfa raw
materials.
Canadian Opposes It.
One of the strongest opponents of
the resolution is Sir George E. Foster,
of Canada, who has taken the an me at
titude as N. W. Bowcll, alto of Canadi,
who served notice on 'the assembly in
an impressive speech recently that
any attempt to exercise sueh control
would be regarded as interference in
internal affairs, to whieh Csnada would
never submit.
Mr. Bowell at the same time said that
the entry of the United States -could
not be hoped for if any such inter
ference were attempted. '
Question of Mandates.
The question of mandates is another
difficult subject coming up this week.
Xhe council ,has on the agenda for to
morrow the nomination oi a permanent
mandate commits ian, and another com
mittee at the same time will take up
the general question' in the form of
terms and the control of mandates. Thit
committee whieh is known as number
8, hat recommended that the United
States be invited to cooperate unofficial
ly in the study of the question of dis
armament. Still another important matter on the
program of the. aounitil fnt tnmnrtnw-isl
the election of a successor to Sir Begi
ns Id Tower MS high commissioner at
Dan tig. The -council (nay also Anally
decide what reply shall be made to: the
German protest against approval of the
results of the Eupea-Malmedy Plebis
cite. Germany contends that the Bel
gian troops of occupation exerted pres
sure on the population. .
With respect to mandates, most of
the delegates are very reserved regard
ing the hearing the position of the
United States would have in the matter
of the exploitation of the Mesopotamian
oil flelds upon the settlement of the
mandate question by the aasembly.
One of the non-European delegates
points out, however, that the Mesopota
mian mandate is in Claas A, which
carries with it only advisory
powers on the pert of the man
datory, aad that consequently it
is for Great Britaino advise not dic
tate what shall be the economie policy
in Mesopotamia. Others recall that the
whole theory of mandates rests on the
principle, of equality and justice and
that it was not intended that' territories
involved should be exploited for ths
profit of the mandatory states.
''If it is true that the nations seeking
mandates are looking for -the utmost
good for the people placed nnder their
guidance," said another delegate, -men
anyv proits from the. exploitation of
economic resources ander the mandates
will naturally go to the peoples them
selves." . -. ,.-

FIRES SIMULTANEOUSLY
London, Eng., Nov. 28. A dispatch
to the. Press Association from liver
pool says:
"An alarming' outbreak of Sina
Fein violence occurred Saturday night
shortly before nine o'clock. Fires
broke out simultaneously both ia the
south aad north ends of Liverpool
and also in Bootle.
"There were seven tires in Bootle
and elevea in various parts of Liver-
pool.
"Subsequent discoveries revealed a
well planned 8inn Fein plot to spread
a holocaust of fire among the ware-
houaes in the dock area. The fires
were spread over almost all of- the
whole serea miles of the dork
area.
' Flames Spread Qalckly.
"Owing to tho inflammable nature of
the contents of the wnrehouses, the
flames . quickly gained a strong hold,
aad by one o'clock in the morning the
whole sky was lit np. Tho local fire
brigades wars enable ta .cope .with the
iituatlnn.aad were obliged to call bri
gsdetrfroa other suborns.- The police
eommsndeered all telephone wires asd
took all steps to prevent further out
breaks by concentrating policemen
along the line of dorks.
"Three youths, watching tha suspic
ious movements of two men at the eot
toa warehouse in Parliament Street,
warned the police, who challenged the
suspects.. Thereupon the latter bolted
and fired upon the police, who pur
sued them. The polieemen were na-
hurt, but a bpllet pierced the heart of
a youth, Daniel Ward, whe wss among
those who had warned the police, sad
he fell dead.
"The, fires ia some instances, were
quickly quenched. Others in eottoa
warehouses burned fiercely the night
lone. One in the south end and. an
other ia Bootle, at. (be north end, are
taken as proving that there waa careful
organisation. It was found that all
the locks on the warehouses had beea
cut with bolt cutters. Many empty pe
trol cans were found on the scene,
Each fire started at more than one
place. At one timber yard there were
three separate outbreaks.

Moss accepted the enuTcn ror ins coa

taking his text from 1st Timothy, 9:6
"The Church of the Living God, the
pHllar and the "ground of the truth.'
He spoke of the joy and gratitude of
the synod of North Carolina at having
a new and welt-equipped church at the
Uaiversity, where it could touch so
many 'new young men, and he urged
his hearers to appreciate the signifi
cance of the real church of the living

work.

ic sir. Sprunt himself took no part
In the services, but afterward he was
crowded by msny persons, including
scores of students, who' came forward
to thank him Personally for his gift
Beside him sat Mr. Hobart Upjohn, the
architect, who came from New York
for the dedicatory services, snd to
whose personal interest is largely due
the. beautiful success of Dr. Spruat's
gift. Mr. Upjohn s grand-lather
well-known architect, who bnilt Trinity
church in New York, also designed the
present Episcopal eh arc a ia Chapel Hill,
a building remarkable for its beauti
ful and aesurately proportioned lines.
The new church is the eonsummatioa
of the dreams of many years of the
Presbyterians, who have always wanted
aa adequate church at the university.
Dr. Bprsat nnd Mr. Upjohn both wished
the building te be thorough in every
detail aad no expense or trouble hss
beea spared.. Jt is pare colonist in
type and the idea is carried oat to the
last detail, including all the furnishings.
Both from the outside snd in the in
terior it is a building of nnussl beauty
snd has already attracted much atten
tion from artists and architects from
many parts of the country. Large to
eisl rooms add to the effectiveness of
its work. A Sundsy school room, a com
pletely equipped dining room and
kitchen, and a largo elub room, with
deep chairs for reading aad study, are
all ia the building. It is built on the!
