WAR CRISIS DEV
President Sends Peace Plea
To Adolph Hitler; Believed
To Have Had Weight
SAYS HE IS RESPONSIBLE
President Roosevelt's appeal 0.1
Tuesday night to German Chancellor
Adolph Hitler to settle his
dispute with Czechoslovakia by resort
to reason instead of war is believed
to have been a strong factor
in influencing the German leader to
invite the heads of three other 11a
tions to meet with him in Munich
yesterday for a conference which at
this time appears to have terminated
in a peaceful settlement of
the Sudeten territory.
Following is the text of the President's
message:
"I desire to acknowledge your
Excellency's reply to my telegram of
Sept. 26. I was confident that you
would coincide in the opinion I expressed
regarding the unforgettable
consequences and the incalculable
disaster which would result to the
entire world .from the outbreak of a
European war.
"The question before the world
today, Mr. Chancellor, is not the
question of errors of judgment or
of injustices committed in the past.
It is the question of the fate of the
world today and tomorrow. The
World asks of us who at this moment
are heads of nations the supreme
capacity to achieve the destinipc
of nations without. fnrnin?
upon them as a price, the mutilation
and death of millions of citizens
"Resort to force in the great war
failed to bring tranquility. Victory
and defeat were alike sterile. That
lesson the world should have
learned. For that reason above all
others, I addressed on September
26 my appeal to your Excellency
and to the President of Czechoslovakia
and to the prime ministers of
Great Britain and of France.
"The two points I sought to emphasize
were, first, that all matters
of difference between the German
government and the Czechoslovak
government could and should be
settled by pacific methods; and, sec(Continued

Parker Rules
Hotel Is Taxable;
3 Appeal Is Taker
n Hotel Warren, although munici
a pally owned, is subject to taxation
Judge R. Hunt Parker ruled or
t Monday in the friendly law sui
n which was brought by the Town o:
te Warrenton against the county foi
= the nurnose of determining whethei
,e this property should remain on the
e county's tax books,
a As was expected, the case will gc
n to the State's Supreme court for i
e final decision.
ir The facts in the case had already
e been agreed to by the town anc
county attorneys and the case wa-'
a carried before the Superior cour
r jurist merely as a procedure to bt
ir followed in getting it before th(
Supreme court.
When Judge Parker's decisio:
h came in favor of the county aftei
.e careful deliberation over the quesd
tion involved, the town, through it:
n attorney, Frank H. Gibbs, gave nog
tice of appeal. Had he decided Ir
favor of Warrenton the county
o through its attorney, Julius Banzet
il would have carried the case to th<
>f higher tribunal.
n The case is of particular interes
d to attorneys, and was a vexing prob
Is lem over which Judge Parker wa
n called on to render a decision, du<
n to the fact that the Supreme cour
is understood to be divided on th<
e question.
0 Similar cases, it was stated, navi
y gone to the Supreme court for rulings
and this body has decided botl
ways about the matter. Since th<
last decision was handed down b:
the state's highest tribunal, it L
understood, new members have gon<
1 on the bench and it is not knowi
what their position on the questior
will be.
n The question of taxing the hote
lf has been one of discussion since th<
tr town bought the property at publii
,r auction several years ago. Prior t<
n that time it was a corporation anc
was on the county's tax boks, bu
i- after it became entirely municipals
d owned citizens here expressed thi
ir view that it should escape taxation
e While town authorities take thi
d view that since the hotel is ownec
d by the town it should not be taxed
county officials look at the mattei
g from the angle that the hotel is i
n revenue producing enterprise anc
j therefore should be taxed. At pres;e
ent the county taxes on the hote
e amount to $312.50 annually.

Lions Scouts Report Midway
Even Better Than Anticipated;
Many Exhibits
1 CANNON ACT SENSATION
The midway at the Warren
' County Fair, which begins for a
j. week's run on Monday, will be even
r better than was anticipated, acL,
cording to the opinion of Lions who
. i several evenings ago visited the
^ < American Legion Carnival in Ral'
| eigh where the Endy Bros, were
providing entertainment for the
1 throngs which gathered there1
These Lions say that the cannon
act is sensational and that it holds
1 the crowds spellbound as a man is
i shot from the mouth of the gun
5 several hundred feet across twin
t ferris wheels. Not only that, they
- enthusiastically proclaim, Endy
? Bros, will have some new thrilling
rides when this organization comes
i to Warrenton next week to play the
midway for the second year in suc
cession.
3 Plans for the greatest fair which
' has ever been presented here are
1 moving along without a hitch as
> Lions go about the business of re
ceiving entries for the various con;
tests which have been arranged for
the occasion, placing the exhibit
t hall in attractive shape for the
" many displays expected to be of5
fered, and placing tickets in the
5 hands of merchants which are to be
^ given away free of charge.
Thp pxhihit hall has been re-ar
ranged and thoroughly decorated
' and it is freely predicted that even
a larger number of exhibits will be
1 displayed this year than last by
' hundreds of persons from the town
[ and county who are anxious to dis'
play their work and compete for
3 the more than $500.00 in prizes
1 which are to be awarded.
As the time nears for the opening
j of the fair the report comes that
, there has been a noticeable increase
in the advance sale of tickets which
^ are slightly cheaper than those purj
chased at the gate and which also
c carry with them the chance on a
f prize which is to be given nightly.
s The women will have an opportunity
at the fair this year to bear
"a out the contention of many men
J that they can strike hard, fast and
true. Their talent along this line
" will have an outlet in a special nail
l driving contest which has been arj
ranged for Tuesday night. Each of
the Amazons competing will be
j given a similar hammer and their
task will be to see which one of
them can drive a 20-penny nail into
a board in the shortest length of
time.

hours of 1 and 6 o'clock and on
- Wednesday the same courtesy will
, be extended to the negro school
s children during similar hours.

a Warren county fair has been pre
