THE BOSTON MAHER ProbabOity of a General Cam paign to Regain for the Striking Policemen Their flacesjost oh the Boston Police For. ( By' The Associated Pressf Boston, Mag's., Sept, 15. A definite campaign to regajn for the strlk(ng policemei the places now officially declared to have 'been lost because of desertion of duty, was expected to be inaugurated today. The action was expected to depend upon the result of the conference between' union labor leaders and Police Commissioner Cur t'ss. The Commissioner, at the re quest Of the union heads, consented to a meeting on an unofficial basis, but the labor men state that they hope to obtain from it an exchange of views which might be made the basis for negotiations. The extent to which the American Federation of Labor would support the fight for reinstate ment of the policemen's union was in doubt today. Immediate danger of a general strike threatened by the Central Un ion in support of the patrolmen ap peared removed by the disposition of the labor men to move slowly. From New York, where President Gompers had been directing the Federation's interest in the Boston situation, came word from one of his associates that there would be no general strike ac tion. Officers of the Central Union, however, said they knew of no decis Ion to warant such a statement, that the proposal for a general strike was before the union, and thatNleciaion would come with the completion of the Voll -6 -the "severaV'cnrftorgani liatiohs.

U. D. C. MEETING. The first fall meeting for 1919 of the J. E. B. Stuart chapter, U. D. C, was held in the Cnc library on Wednesday afternoon, September 10. The president opened the meeting with the usual devotional exercises, after which the minutes of the June meeting were read and approved. In the absence of the treasurer, the president gave her report which showed thet chapter's finances to be very low. Ways and means of raising funds were discussed at length, and it was decided, that Mrs. J. S. Hall be ap pointed to devise some means of re lieving the situation. A letter was read from the chair man of. the war relief work request ing a recordof all those descendants of 'Confederate; veterans who -werfe, In rervlce In the world war.

Mr. Lansing told me the jday I resigned," the witness Bald, "that he was opposed to that part of the Lea gue Covenant relating to a mandate' for Armenia. He said he considered the Shantung section in the League Covenant bad that the League would be entirely useless; that1 the nations had arranged the world to suit them selves and that England and France got what they wanted." "After, saying he believed the Sen' ate would defeat the treaty if It real ized its meaning Mr. Lansing express ed the opinion that Senator Knox real- ly would understand' the treaty, taat Mr. Lodge would also, but that Mr." ' Lodge's position would become purely' J political." , Bullitt said he was sent to Russia . by Secretary Lansing in February to obtain trom the Soviet Government a statement of the exact terms on which It would agree to stop fighting on all fronts. Before v proceeding, Bullitt said he , asked' Colone' House a. number ' o! .. questions, bearing o&the American : pbsfti,4iridujiad bJxni'.W said, A that if the 'Bblsflevlkr were ready to stop fighting and decUre an armistice the United States would aptJrOTe.' Bullitt and COlonel House "were en thusiastically In favor of making peace on the Soviet proposal. A day o two later, while having Breakfast with Lldyd George and General Smuts, i the former jirged him to publish, his-report on Russia, which gave first-hand information of the situation .there un der the Bolshevik regime. . v ' "I prepared a statement for the press," the witness said, "which I .submitted to Mission, none or whose members were readx to take the responsibility for the publication. It was referred to the President who said he did not want it printed at that time." ' . A TRANS-STATE HIGHWAY. It is suggested that if Hoke, Cum berland, Sampson and Pender counties were put on the trans-state hlgBway. from Washington to the mountains, Robeson, Bladen, Columbus and Brans wick would necessarily be eliminat ed. We do not think so, hut taking this for granted and assuming that there is no desire to keep the latter counties off the line, we would suggest that there are other routes for a trans state highway. For instance: From Wilmington through Pender, Sampson, Cumberland, Harnett and Wake to Ra- v leigh; thence to Durham, Greensboro, ' High Point, Winston-Salem and so on to Asheville. That would be a fine route through the heart of Wortjh. Car- . ollna, and Wilmington would be reach ed without crossing Cape Fear River by ferryTbut by bridge f at Fayettevttle. " . Tnis route is --simply a suggestion and about which we shall write later.. ' GOOD CITIZENSHIP EXTOLLED. . -if! . :tl The City of Dayton, O. Engages .
