In this connection an English dele gate said recently: i ‘'l don't see how it will be possible Ito keep the reparation problem out of | the discussion, unless it be settled be forehand," And another delegate from t one of the northern Scandinavian lands. ! referring to the popular movement in I | Germany to apply for membership, said : | "Certainly Germany should come in. !If she applies she would probably be elected easily.” These and other questions, like the problem of opium have served to create nn atmosphere of unusual interest iu this year's doings of the assembly. The first business on the agenda is | the election of a president and six vice presidents who, with the presidents of the six committees later elected, form with, the president a hurenu responsible for tile general conduct of the business of the assembly.

C., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1923 I FEAR OF DISASTER GRIPS J GERMANY AS ‘REDS’ SOW REVOLT j Kindreds of Thousands of Russian? Have Fled to Germany. (By the Associated Press.) i Munich. Sept. I.—Germany's interna tional political situation is much affected by the hundreds of thousands of Rus sians who havp either tied to Germany for safety or have come here voluntarily. Communist leaders throughout Germany frequently are Russians, and the opin ion is prevalent that Russian agitators are much more numerous than they real ly are. Their tactics are similar to those followed in Russia. They are using the same lavish display of placards and printing, the same sort of inflamma tory articles in the communist journa's ► that were prevalent in Russia before the red terror spread over that land. White' Russians, that is. noil -colu mn nistic Russians, are much alarmed by the communist propaganda and excite all the Germans they know by telling them what communism did to Russia. There is such nervousness now .in Munich. Leipsig. Dresden, Berlin. Bres lau. Hamburg, and other cities -haying large working population that the ex plosion of an automobile tire or an unusually loud motor exhaust ix mis taken for gunfire, and pedestrians pre pare to take shelter. The communists have talked so much, and tlie financial situation and food shortage in great centers are so acute, that tlie re-enactment of Russia’s trag edy is greatly feared. “Anti-fascism” is tlie name tinder which tlie communistic agitation is mov ing at present. Placards urging tlie workmen to join tlie "anti-fascitists” and check tlie "industrialists and capitalists who are starving workmen and their families” are widely posted throughout German cities. While the non-bolxhevist Russians in Germany probably outnumber the bol shevistic Russians many times, and al though few; of tlie bourgeois Russians are engaged iu political activities in Germany, they contribute much to the uneasiness in the great cities.' Most of them suffered great hardships in Russia and til rough their newspapers and per sonal associations they intensify tlie fear of bolshevism. Throughout Germany the air is now constantly filled with rumors of impend ing disaster. One day there are reports that pogroms may be expected from forces on tlie right. Tlie next day demonstrations from tlie left are pro moted Widely by the netVous press, and given wild circulation by an uiieasv public. The Ruhr situation is overshadowed in the larger cities of Central and East ern , Germany by local troubles and ex pected trouble. .Causes of the general, upset of affairs in Germany are ignored by the average man, and especially by the average woman. To them, the po tato shortage and the lack of fats are ((li} all-important subjects of the hour. YOKOHAMA ON FIRE Conflagration Broke Out After a Severe Earthquake Shock. (By tho Associated Press.)

Discussion of a creamery for Concord, and a splendid entertainment program featured the meeting rn Friday evening of. the Kiwanis Club of Concord. Caleb W. Swink brought before the Club on behalf of the War Mothers the request that the Kiwaniaus join them in their campaign which will be started soon to raise the remainder of the funds necessary to purchase the Memorial X'himes for Concord, ii’pon motion, the following Kiwanians were appointed to cooperate with the Wajr Mothers in their drive: Caleb W. Swink R. Morrison King and Albert B. Palmer. A motion was made aud carried that on October Ist the Apitaiiis of tlie teams be changed, and tl» teams he rearranged by tlie board of dWetofs. Mr. H. E. Baker, oflCharlotte..was in troduced by Albert Halmer. captain of Team No. 1 in charge of the program. Mr. Baker, who lias Been operating a creamery in Charlott*. stated that he was now trying to interest the people of Cabarrus County in | creamery to be located in Concord, add he gave the Kiwanians some facts ami figures from tlie creamery business. Wisconsin, he said, leads the United' States in the creamery business. In that state there are one-seventh of all; the milk cows of the United States. This work was be gun in Wisconsin after the farmers there had worn out the aoSl raising various crops, and from ilraf start has now grown the largest industry wf its kind in the whole country. No less than 1500 crea meries and cheese plaits are now in operation in Wisconsin, which will give an idea of how thiekly-.tlic state is dotted with them. The creamery business was started in Tennessee just seven (rears ago. From the little start ill 1910 the industry lias grown until lust year snore than 12.000,- 000 pounds of butter were turned out from the various creameries in tlie state. Statistics compiled by Mr. Roger W. Babsou the statistical 'expert, show that in counties where the Creameries are be ing operated, tlie batik deposits of tlie far mers average 50 per cent'more than those where there are no creameries. The creamery in Mecklenburg County, Mr. Baker continued, hits organized two years ago, and already Is doing something like SOO,OOO worth of business. In a county where cotton is tlie principal money crop, the farmery need a creamery to help build up the tjoil, us well as to bring in a steady revenue all the year round. With six of eight cows furnish ing cream all along, a farmer would have a steady source of income which would enable him to pay cash for most of liis provisions mid labor, so that when the marketed his money crop, it would not be necessary for him to spend al most ail of it in paying up his accounts at tlie various stores, fit charge prices., Albert Palmer stated at tlie conclusion of Mr. Bak'er’s in Ilf iliftt a inoVt'hienf lias already been begun in Cabarrus County to organize a creamery liejie. and that persons interested in the new enter prise could get any information desired, or subscribe for stock .iu the- creamery by seeing either himself or I)r. Tracy N. Spencer. Wolff, and she was heartily-encored. Miss Miss Mary Hiller, of Jacksonvile, Florida, aud Miss Dorothy Wolff, talented daughter of Prof, and Mrs. S. A. Wolff, of this city, were guests of the Club at the meeting, and delighted the members with several musical -selections. Miss Hiller sang two delightful solos, her ac companiments being played by Miss Wolff, and she was henrtil eucord. Miss Wolff furnished music for the Club also, in the absence of Miss Nell Herring. The attendance prize, given by Albert Palmer, was drawn by Major Will Foil. The program for the-meeting next Fri day evening will be in the hands of Team No. 2, J.

Bombardment and Occupa tin of Corfu in Contraven tion of Treaty of 1864 is so Considered in London. GRAVESTFEARS ARE FELT OVER MATTER Italy’s Action Constitutes a Flagrant Violation of Inter national Law in Military and Diplomatic Centers. London, Sept. 1 (By the Associated Press (.“Italy’s action in bombarding and occupying Corfu is contravention of the neutrality of the island guaranteed in perpetuity by the treaty of IK»>4, in which Great Britain ceded Corfu to Greece, is considered inmilitary and dip lomatic quarters in Ixtndon as tanta mount to a declaration of war upon Greece and constitutiong a flagrant vio lation of international law. The gravest apprehension is felt over further possible moves by Italy. If Italy should ignore intervention of the League of Nations and the independent efforts of the allied council of ambassa dors for amicable solution of the crisis, the military experts here see danger of war spreading throughout southeastern Europe. Italian Fleet Bombards Corfu. Athens. Aug. 31.—The Italian fleet bombarded the police station and school on the Island of Corfu, says an official communication issued this evening. The communication says when the gov ernor of Corfu was informed the island was to be occupied he said lie would ask instruction from the Greek govern ment, but before these arrived Italian troops landed and the fleet bombarded the police station and school, which caught fire. The communication does not mention any eausalties. but from other sources it is reported there' were some. Corfu is a Greek island in the lonian sea, with the town of Corfu as its capi tal. Tlie island lias a strategic import ance in .being near the entrance to tlie Adriatic, and as such was a base for al lied naval forces during tlie war. Corfu also gives ready access to Albania, as it lies only a few miles off the Albanian coast. The former kaiser’s summer pal ace is one of the features of Corfu.

A tig. 3L-vAnxiety prevailed to day in French official and foreign diplo matic circles in Paris over the differences between Italy and Greece arising from the slaying of an Italian official mission while on Greek soil. The Greek reply to ,Premier Mussolini’s ultimatum is so far from satisfying the Italian demands that, there is serious as to how Mussolini can accept it without sacrificing prestige at home. The Italian diplomatic representatives have informed the European chanceller ies that their Government regards the present conflict as a purely ltaiio-Grcek affair ami that although the victims were members of a commission acting under the authority of the inter-Ailied council of the Italian Array, lienee the action by Italy was justified to maintain resjwct for her nationals in uniform. Tlie similarity of' the tone between ' press comment now emanating from the semi-official declarations and Rome with the declarations and comment that came from Vienna and Berlin before the out break of war in 11114 is remarked upon in some quarters where hope is express ed that Italy will moderate her tone or at least will abide by the covenant of tlie League of Nations whieli requires her not to take host fir action until three months after tlie council of the League has had time to investigate. Events Move Swiftly. London. Aug. 31.—Events moved swiftly today in the dispute between Italy and Greece which, in the almost universal opinion of the Britisli press, bears a lamentable resemblance to the dispute of the tragic days of July and August, 1014. Greece promptly replied to tlie Italian ultimatum with an offer of such satis faction as. in the opinion of the British Press, the occasion demands until criminal responsibility for the murders of tlie five Italian members of the Greco-Albanian boundary commission lias been fixed by projier investigation, but declined to submit to what Greece regards as humiliating conditions. Thereupon the cabinet re-assembled in Rome and decided oil tlie next step Italy, should take. This, according to. reports from Athens, too tlie form of tlie Italian minister at Athens presenting a new note to ('recce, seemingly in the shape of another ultimatum, the terms of which have not yet been stated, but. giving only a few hours for a reply and also notifying tlie Greek government that meantime Corfu would be peace fully occupied temporarily by Italian troops. On this development tlie Greek government immediately telegraphed Geneva -, invoking the intervention of the league of nations. Pastor Returns From Vacation. Rev. ,1.
