The North Carolina Organization the
Largest in the Saptti.
Greensboro, September 24.—Keep
ing pace with the phenomenal growth
of the automotive industry which in
23. years lias replaced steel as Amer
ica's chief industry, the Carolina Mo
tor Club this week is eelebrating its
third birthday.
September 22, 1022, a group of
staunch Carolinians from throughout
the state —a band of pioneers with
courage and vision who realized the
potentialities and need of suA a’ club,
founded the Carolina Motor Club.
Tlie late Emmanuel Hternberger. ven
ertated GreAisboro pioneer, was its
first president and when lie took of
fice there was n deficit-of $52. C. £f.
Armstrong, of Gastonia, was the
ond executive and C. S. Wallgct*,
Morehead City, is the current press- ;
dent. C. 3V. Roberts has served as
getive vice president and secretary
since the club's inception.
Consistent, substantial growth has
placed the Carolina Motor Club in
the first fifteen group of tbe Ameri
can automobile association. With a
membership of 0,243 the North Caro
lina organization is the largest in the
South—with twice ns many members
as its nearest competitor. Septem
ber 22, 11)24, there Were 3,561 mem
bers enrolled and the year before 1,-
764. "High pressure” methods are
taboo and an encouraging feature and
the chief fact that stamps tile organi
zation as substantial and worthwiie
is the high percentage of renewals —a
I percentage that warrants the slogan:
"once a member, always a member.”
More than 35 "gyp” clubs, so-called
organizations that promise all and
give nothing, have come into North
Carolina during the three years and
all have faded away while the Caro
lina Motor Club continues to grow
steadily. Affiliation with the A. A.
A. links it with 7411 other clubs and'
gives members not only national but
worldwide service.
Carrying out the basic idea of “serv
ice” several new departments have
been recently added and others are
contemplated as the increasing mem
bership justifies. New and enlarged
departments include: accident preven
tion, legal, research, public relations,
license and touring.
of road information calls, maps used
and routings furnished. More than
16,000,000 miles of routings— a dis
tance 640 times the circumference of
the earth—have been issued in the
three years. One rooting covered
10,000 miles, embracing a tour to
Washington State. Mexico and return.
_More than 120.000 calls for road in
formation, in person, by wire and let
ter were answered and 150.000 maps
distributed.
Just now tiie work of the legal de
partment in seeking to eliminate
"speed traps,” mail order arrests and

siderable attention and 35 speed traps
have been abolished and 800 legal
cases bundled for members.

WANTS FRANCE TO (
CEASE FIGHTING!
Governor Blaine Does Not
Want Debt Settlement -
Until France Stops Pres- '
ent War In Morocco.
Madison, Wis.. Sept. 24.— (A*) —Gov. J
Blaine, of Wisconsin, today made pub
lic a telegram he sent to President
Coolidge declaring that before conver
sations are entered upon with France
upon settlement of the war debt,. Am
erica should demand “a halt in this
ruthless warfare between the French
and Riffians in Morocco.”
“Caillnux, French finnace minister, '
landed in America today seeking ex
tension of time of payment of Frencli
debts due America and reduction of
interest thereon,” the telegram said.
"A few days ago dispatches carried
the news that France had sent a fleet
of 16 airships to fight the Riffians in
Morocco, and France boasted that
each airship dropped two tons of high
explosives upon the homes of Mo
roccans, killing defenseless men, wom
en and children.
“France is engaged in a competitive
undertaking in building larger armies
and navies and extending her terri- '
tories in the exploitation of weaker '
and smaller nations. The ruthless
warfare that France is making on the '
mountain folk of Morocco in the kill
ing of non-combatants and women
and children is nothing short of bar
barism. Before conversations are en- *
tet-od upon with France on the debt :
settlement, America should demand a ’
halt in this ruthless warfare. Before '
any confessions are made to France 1
or any other foreign government. '
America should demand that they
cease building larger armies and nav- 1
ios and cease their warfare on small- 1
er and weaker peoples.
"To advance the time of payment :
of America's debt owing by France as
wns (lone in the case of Great Britain,
means that the American taxpayer is
to be burdened for the benefit of for
eign governments in the pursuit of
war and exploitations. In the name
of humanity and decency I protest the
settlement of foreign debts until Am
erica has assurance that American
dollars will not be used for more war
and the murdering of helpless, de
fenseless .women and children."

Red Cross Campaign For Sweaters
For Ex-Service Men in Hospitals
• As we stated in the announcement
■ in Tribune the American
1 Red Cross has launched a campaign
‘ for 30,000 sweaters for ex-service men
1 in government hospitals. The Cabar
' rus Chapter has been asked to furnish
- six sweaters —four with sleeves and
t two without sleeves. That is a very
small quota for our Chapter, aid it
has already been oversubscribed
thanks to the good people who have
the interest of our ex-service men at
heart. The reason for this campaign
1 is the fact that the war time supply
„ of sweaters has been exhausted, and
fi by the time cold weather reaches us
'some of the men in the hospitals will
s suffer for lack of clothing if this pro
i- vis’on of sweaters is not made. Many
e of the men take only the clothes on
n their back with them when they en
ter the hospitals. Hence the first cold
c pinch finds them without sufficient

Washington. Sept. 24.—UP)—Con
versations looking lo the settlement
of France’s $4,000,000,000 debt to the
United States formally were begun
today when members of the French
and American debt commissions as
sembled at the treasury.
Led by the finance minister of
France, Joseph Caillaux, the French ]
mission appeared at the treasury ,
propmtly at 11 o’clock and were met (
tv ere by Secretary Mellon, head of (
the American mission, anil the actual (
negotiations, long rumored and de
ferred, were on. ,
The great conference room at the
treasury was the meeting place and
only a brief period devoted to intro
dnetioas all around was allowed be- .
fore Secretary Mellon called the dis- (
cessions to order.
Caillaux Speaks.
Washington, Sept. 24.— UP) —The j
French and American debt commis
sioners meeting here today to effect a
settlement of France's $4,000,000,000
war debt, pledged themselves to go into
issue as jiractical men, recognizing the
problems of each other, and desirous
of reaching a quick agreement.
France's position, stated by Jos.
Caillaux her minister of finance, was i
that her country had not forgotten
"what we owe to America for her
splendid work to end victoriously the
war, aad the generous help our people
received from citizens of the United
States."
M. Caillaux spoke very briefly, ex
plaining that the hope of the French
is to reach a settlement that be not
only practical insofar as material in
terests are concerned, but one that
wottbl be worthy of the past of the
two great nations. He said the dis
cussions between the two commissions
should go forward "in such away as
to fortify peace and help the economic
stabilization of the world."
Secretary Mellon, head of the Amer
ican debt commission, declaring he
recognized the influence the present
conference may have on the peace of
the world, described the American de
sire and duty as one in the direction
of a settlement that would be fair to
all. and "in the practical test of time,
workable.”
The joint session today was com
paratively brief, lasting only a little
more than an hour. It was followed,
however, by a meeting of the Ameri
can commission which it was indicated
was prepared to talk over the general
situation among its own members.
The conclusion of the joint session
gave the French a test of treatment
by a small army of American newspa
per photographers. M. Caillaux took
the affair as a matter of course, and
frequently cautioned members of the
commission to sit still While the pic
tures were being made.
“I have come from France,” said
M. Caillaux at the opening of the con
ference "entrusted by my govern
ment to meet the obligations of 'ray
country toward the United States.
“Highly appreciative members of
our parliament belonging to all par
ties, chairmen or reporters of the fi
nancial and trade commission of the
I upper and lower house have been so
I kind as to accompany me. Like my
self, these gentlemen have the great
est desire to reach a settlement.
"We do not forget and no one in
our country will ever forget what we
owe to American for her splendid work
to end victoriously the war, and for
the generous help our people received
from citizens of the United States in
time of need. We neither forget,

do the knitting, I will order the wool
from headquarters in Washington, and
the work can then proceed.
