In' an Address Eulogizing the War Presi dent. * Charlotte. Dee. 28.—The League of ations .will not die, declared Jo phus Daniels, secretary of the navy E the Wilson administration, at a g ‘Oodrow Wilson birthday celebration re tonight. “The League of Nations will not |. e,” he repeatedly declared. “It had 1 i inspiration at Bethlehem. Its :ht guarded the Locarno pact. It’s ry terms foreshadowed the Wash gton conference and its brightness' | reflected in every movement having tter understanding and an end of *r as their inspiration.” | “This,” asserted Mr. Daniels, “is ► hour of mourning because of the Wsing of an immortal Knight Os Mice. This is no time for eulogy ; elegy. It is rather the time for joicing over life—in the new and tounding and inspiring life in the rth of a noble nature incarnating .noble ideal. In scores of Ameri n leities and towns tonight, as here, en and women gifted with the faith see a resurrection morn, gather to lebratvj, the birthday of one of those sole figures who commanded the age in great crises.” Always Called Treaty Covenant. “From 'the day when Mr. Wilson ■gan to see that our entrance into World War was inevitable,” said ] r. Daniels, “and that he conceived I ■ to be a ‘war against war,’ the word | ovenant’ seemed to sit upon his j ngue. It was in his Presbyterian! ime, at Davidson, at Princeton, that) ■ drapk iu and appropriated and tpreciated the real meaning of that! ord of Holy Writ. He never re rred to the Treaty of Versailles as pact or compact or agreement. To m it rose far above all former eaties between nations. It had to « mind a significance so holy that ► word but covenant could fitly de ribe it.” The fact that Mecklenburg, through avidson, made its imprint on Wil n made it a penculiarly fitting place |f V the gathering tonight, said the leaker, “And it is also fitting,” he id. “because Mecklenburg thuscele ■ated its owu part in placing him the White House to guide the desti es of this republic and give light to e world in eight epochal years." - ■ Victor Toastmaster.

The Star Theatre will buzz Friday and Sat urday with appreciative comment, dur ing and after the showing of .this as tounding horse drama, in which Hal Roach features his magnificent wild stallion, Rex. In fact, when the hero prays for the fastest horse in the world, that he may ride to the rescue of his sweetheart, the air is tense with excitement when Rex (lashes up and the man. leaping on the horse, who is without saddle or bridle, stages the wildest ride the j screen has ever seen. (This wonderful riding is performed by Guinn Williams, who, as the hero ' I of the human story woven through out “Black Cyclone,” has little to do, ! but distinguishes himself nevertheless. | It is he who risks his life to get Rex out of the deadly quicksands. It is : he who tries to mount Rex and is | thrown twice—and they're mean 1 spills! It is he who is the only man admitted to Rex's friendship, and it is he who really brings to Rex su preme victory, for it was not until Hex saw his man winning in a battle with his enemy, that the blaze of battle entered Rex’s heart and he plunged into conflict with the Killer, determined th vanquish his fee for ever. There is not a dull moment in “Black Cyclone.” There is not a scene that is not a work of art for photographic composition and artistic grouping of figures. The direction reveals inexhaustible patience and a real love and understanding of ani . nials. It's a picture that lifts you out of your ennui and strips you of your placidity. It remains at the Star Theutre two days, Friday and Satur day. IN AND ABOUT THE CITY TOWN CLOCK TO START 1 THE NEW TEAR RIGHT j Scheduled to Be gin Running After Taking a Few Days Off For Christmas. Concord's venerated and indispen sable timepiece, the Court House Town Clock, will start the new year off | right. Aunouncement was made today by ' Art Lentz, official caretaker of the clock, that he will attend to.its wants j Thursday so that when the old year: ends and 1926 is ushered in, the bell j will be tolling the hours and the pas-1 sersby may look upward and deter- j mine the time. This news is expected to be received \ with great joy by the mays of the cit- • izenry of the city, who, during the 1 past days have been forced, at great hardship, to refer to their pocket watches or to them wrist pieces, as the case might have been. For some time the clock has not been running. It is not known wheth er it needed winding, or whether if was frozen in the recent zero weather, or whether it just wnnted a vacation and decided to stop. The latter rea son is assigned by the wiseacres as be ing the most likely cause for the halt, it being pointed out that the clock was goaded to stop when so many of the other residents of the city were loafing. At any rate, now that the Christ mas vacation is o'er, it will again re sume its work of keeping the time bad ly and making people late to appoint ments. It is reported that the clock has been heard to rpmark that its only new year’s resolution will be to im prove its service—which is to say that it has declared that not during the approaching year will it be over two hours wrong.
