Page Eight LENOIR NEWS-TOPIC, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 27, 1919 LENOIR, N. C. AMERICAN LEGION ENDS FIRST MEETING IN MINNEAPOLIS The first convention of the Ameri can Legion, in session in Minneapolis, adopted resolutions declaring the or ganization to be non-political, de manding the deportation of Victor Berger of Milwaukee as a "disloyal citizen," and asking investigation of the record of Representative Voight of Wisconsin, who supported Berger in the recent vote in the House, of Representatives. i Indorsement of universal military training with a small standing army and no compulsory military service in time of peace was voted enthusias tically by the legion convention. It is recommended that the nation citi zen army be under local control and administration subject to general na tional regulations. The legion elected Franklin D'Oiier of Philadelphia as its first national commander and voted to have Con gress consider the advisability of ap proving farther bonuses for service men. Election of the national com mander followed a turbulent after noon when a mass of resolutions and reports, including the soldier bonus issue, were considered. The conven tion for a time seemed sharply split on the proposal to indorse a specific bonus plan, and finally voted to place the matter in the hands of the na tional Senate and House of Repre sentatives. Other important decisions reached include the selection of Indianapolis as permanent national headquarters of the legion and Cleveland as the convention city for ID'JO. Holders of public office or candi dates are banea from office in -the legion by an amendment to the con stitution adopted declaring that the organization will take no part in pol itics. The resolution follows: "While requiring that each of its members perform his full duty as a citizen according to his own con science and understanding, this or ganization shall not be used for the dissemination of partisan principles or for the promotion of he candi dacy of any person seeking public of fice of preferment; and no candidate for, or incumbent of. a salaried elec tive public office shall hold any office in the American legion or in any branch or part thereof." BODIES OF THOUSANDS EXE CUTED BY BOLSHIVIKI An Associated. Press dispatch from Kiev says that bodies of victims executed by the bolsheviki daring their occupancy of that city are con stantly being found and the first es timate of 4,000 is evidently much below the real total. Three Irish girls, Eva, May and Eileen Healy, who lived in Kiev dur ing the last six months of bolshevist rule, gave the. correspondent an ac count of bolshevik operations. "The autocracy of the Romanoffs, with all its evils," they said, "was paradise compared to the bolshevik hades we have been living through. The last few months, when the ma jority of the members of the Kiev committee of public safety were al ways under the influence of drink or drugs, transcended all conceivable awfulness. After every meeting huge heaps of empty spirit and wine bottles and scores of morphine and cocaine bottles were found. The members of .the chief of the com mittee sat before a cage with wooden bars reaching to the ceiling. The prisoners were marched through the cage to be reviled and sentenced to death. Afterward they were strip ped naked and carted off to the slaughter house. Another committee conducted its proceedings in the open air in a beautiful garden. The judges sprawled over a table and pronounc ed death sentences wholesale, drink ing champagne in the intervals. One woman over 60 years old was arrest ed and taken out several successive nights to a tiring wall, against which she was placed while shots were fired around her head. This was done to evtract information as to the where abouts of an officers' son whom she didn't even know. She was finally executed. A priest was crucified." Other British res, dents said the Healy girls often, in the name of their British nationality, openly de tied the bolshevik authorities and successfully concealed a number of officers and other intended victims. MEXICO PLACES ORDERS FOR LARGE QUANTITY ARMS Large orders for arms and ammu nition placed by Mexico in Belgium and Spain, in preparation for the possibility of American intervention, have come !: light and the State department has let it be known that the government has taken steps to prevent their shipment. The charge d'affaires of the United States e'i'.bis-iy in Brussels ha pro tected, under instructions, that shio mert of the munit.ons would be in viol.iSm of the 't ternatumal nvms convent ion. A ,!.!; i? not a pd'-." to the agreement vn,ch was des'g le 1 ti aid m keeping the peace of "he wo; Id .Iji.ng the aftcr-the-war tran sition period, no such direct action is probable at Madrid. The order in Belgium was plice ! ; with the Fabrique Xationale d'Arms at Liege, probably under the diree- ' tion of Candide Aguilar, Mexican 1 minister of foreign acairs and Pre:- j dent ("arranza's son-in-law, who went to Europe recently alter stopp ng in j AV'ashington and placing a wreath or. George Washington s tomb at Mount Vernon. The orders in Spain, which includ ed rifles, millions of rounds of am munition and a large number of ma chine guns, were negotiated through the Mexican minister there, Elesoo Arredondo, former ambassador to the United States and President Car ranza's nephew. The Spanish muntions, according to information in the hands of the government, began passing into Mex ico more than than a year ago while the European war was still going on, and in violation of the inter-allied t-mbargo. Rifles and ammunition and some sample machine .guns are re ported to have passed Havana on their way to Mexico as late as June of this year. For later shipments cargo space had been reserved for Oct. 19, on Holland-American line steamers, sailing out of Antwerp, and further space had been reserved for Tampico, Vera Cruz and Puerto Mexico on Dec. 3. Th1.' United States has been deny ing shipments of arms and ammun tion into Mexico for many months for the reason that they generally fell into the hands of bandits and often were used against Americans. Soon after the end of the war the Mexican government asked for the release of munitions bought in this country in 1917, but it was refused. Such information as has now come into the hands of the government shows that Mexico already was turn ing to European manufacturers for her supply and has since placed enor mous orders. MARKED REDUCTION IN CHILD LABOR IN UNITED STATES Child labor in the United States has decreased more than 40 per cent since the child labor tax provision of the revenue act went into effect April 25 last. The act levied a tax of 10 per cent on the net earnings of plants employing children under 14 NATURE S WAY Alcohol and dangerous sedatives are fast falling into disuse When the body is debilitated the effectual means of restoring strength is scons EMULSION ! which does what your regular j food should do but all too often fails to do nourishes end strengthens the whola body.

Marked reduction in child labor also was reported, it was said, in the coal mining and canning industries. Many plants, particularly cotton mills, have discharged all children under 1 C years of age, the report . said, ratheY than adjust the opera- 1 tions to an ieght-hour basis. ! Action of employers in avoiding the tax liability, it was said, indi cated a general expectation that the constitutionality of the provision will be upheld by the Supreme Court when it comes up Dec. 8 on appeal from a permanent injunction grant ed by the North Carolina district court last May. MEMBER OF I. W. W. MAKES A CONFESSION TO OFFICERS Industrial Workers of the World planned the Centralia, Wash., shoot ing three weeks before armistice day, according to an alleged confession made by L. Roberts, confessed I. W. W., who surrendered himself to the officers following the shooting, in which bullets from the guns of the radicals killed four former American soldiers, marching in the holiday pa rade. The confession said the I. W. W. expected their hall would be at tacked on armistice day and that all the radicals who took part in' the shooting expected to be killed. Ac cording to Roberts' statement, Wes ley Everetts, the lynched I. W. W., apparently directed the movements of the ardicals, as he sent Roberts and two others to Seminary hill, near the scene of the. shooting, with orders to "shoot when they shoot or when we heard shooting." Roberts, in his alleged confession implicated several alleged I. W. W. who are in jail at Centralia and in nearby cities. After making the confession Roberts is said to have stated that he feared vengeance at the hands of his fellow radicals be cause of his admission. C. & N.-W.

PARTIAL ECLIPSE OF THE SUN LAST SATURDAY Nov. 22, early in the morning, there was an eclipse of the sun. It was visible as a partial eclipse in every part of the United States except the Pacific coast.' Partial eclipse began before sunrise east of the Rockies, reaching its maximum at sunrise and ending at 8:50. Going eastward over the United States, from Dallas, Tex., to St. Paul, Minn., the 'beginning of the eclipse, its max imum arid ending got later every mile, until at Washington, D. C, it starts at 7:35 a.m., reaches its max imum at 8:52 and ends at 10:21 a.m. All over this territory the eclipse first was seen as a dark notch in the sun's rim, which grew larger as the eclipse came to the maximum, when it covered nearly half the san. This is the second (and last) eclipse of the sun this year, the first May 29, being invisible in the United States. - The Nov. 22 eclipse came at a time when the earth was closest the sun and farthest from the moon.
