IMPRESS VE in se IB DOLLARS REvEHU E At White Oak Church in Honor Adopted by Finance Committee of Leslie Walston of , Seven Republicans Oppose Saratoga the Majority Report WHO FELL IN FRANCE TEN DEMOCRATS FAVOR IT Yesterday afternoon in the Primi-i uve Baptist church at White Oan near Saratoga, this county, of which lis mother is a member, impressive memorial everclses were held in honor of brave Leslie Walston who foil in France in defense of his couu try and human liberty. The young man was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Hymrick Walston, prominent peopla of the Saratoga section and was wounded at th same time and by the same shell that killed Dewey Adams and wound ed James Anderson of this city.

Stanbui'y, pastor of the Wilson Methodist church in this city, and Rev. J. B. Massey, pastor of tho Presbyterian church here. Mr. Lucas who delivered the prin cipal address, clothed his remarks with patriotism and praise for oui' hero who lost his life in defence of his country and h.jman liberty. Ho opened by saying that in his death Leslie Walston had accomplished more than the man who lives to the (ixtreine old age of three score years and ten. He has become a part of the history of North Carolina and tho history of Saratoga, and has 'ilaced the name of his family upon 'lie undying scroll of fame. iU. lucuh sutiu'J mat luo Ameri can boys smHo vvliOu liu-y came UiO.

According to the casualty liii .139,000 American soldiers have giv en their life blood to break the shackles of mankind and I believe that they were fighting for the Lord. Mr. Lucas stated that he knew that he was speaking in the pres ence of both ministers of the gospei ns woll as laymen, but he must say that he believed thatearth and heav en were brought nearer together when the armistice was signed and the end of the war was announced He called over the names of Cal vin Capp.s Robert Anderson, Dewey Adams, J. B. Farmer and others who havo been killed and wounded from this county, and now, said he, we have another brava son and hero to udd to that immortal list. Their death, said he, is not in vain. It does not matter so much whether a man dies, for man is born to die, but the question we need to ask is how he died and for what, did he die? Mr. Lucas interestingly traced the events of the war. and the causes that led to the war. How that Am erica came Into the fight to save civilization and tho world from a fate that ultimately would be far worse that Germany accordod Bel glum or France. To this great sacrifice and to this great cause Washington, Nov. 26 By a strict party vote, the Senate Finance com mittee last night decided to recom mend that the yield from the 1920 revenue bill be limited to f4,000, 000,000. Ten Democratic members, who voted for the amount suggested by Secretary McAdoo, were opposed by the seven Republicans. Before adopting the four billion dollar limit the committee voted down a proposal by 3enator Gore, of Oklahoma, Democrat, to leave th3 $6,000,000,000 bill of 1919 un changed for 1920 and use the two billion surplus for paying outstand ing government obligations. The vote was 9 to 8, Fenator Gore join ing with the seven Republican mem bers. Republicans object to Using an limit for taxation in 1920 because they expect to control both the Ssn ate and House in thenext Congress. Minority members of the Finance committee said last night they would take their fight to the floor, of the Senate and some Republican leaders have said that f the Demo crats nsst upon this provision of the revenue bill, enactment of the mea sure by the Congress may be block ed. The motion to fix the limit of 1920 taxes at $4,000,000,000 was made by Chairman Simmons. The vote on the roll-call follows: Ayes: Democrats. Simmons, Wil liams, Smith of Georgia, Thomas, Robinson, Gore, ,'ones of. New Met- icn, GiJrry, Lewis and Nugent. Nays: Republicans, Penrose Lodge. McCumber. Smoot, Dilling ham, LaFollelte ard Townsend. Work on tho 1919 tax schedule is nearly completed, chairman Sim mons announcing last night that the bill now has been reduced to prac tically six billion dollars. Senator Simmons' amendment exempting persons or partnerships engaged In trade or business from the war ex cess profits tax, was adopted yester day by the committee as was an amendment providing that a corpo ration with a net income of not more than $20,000 a year shall not he taxed more than 30 per cent. In he House bill the maximum levy was fixed at 35 per cent. Leslie Walston gave all that he could give, his life and succeeding ages shall reap tho rich reward that he left to posterity. Thespoaker told of. the events leading up to the death of our young hero. How that on that fear ful day, August 4th, we had stopped the Hun and then his retreat began and never sgain did he advance an other st,ep Into allied country. Mr. Lucas stated thqt the men who fought In Franco and who died in France have caught a glimpse of tho Father nnd the great beyond that none of us ever have, because the rfentness of tho effort and tho work Jf lint It involved was more tha,i tho iiveraip mind can contemplate, the Inind of tho soldier must have ien lost In awe and wondermPnt. Mr. Lucas was followed by Mr. J. : (Continued on page Two) THE FOURTEENTH TO FALL PRIVATE ALFRED E. MOORE Son of Mr. and Mrs. A. M.

AM W 0 ft Declares Cardinal Mercier. Wilson's Just Messages Foiled Germans WON'T POSE AS MARTYRS That America Entered War to Wipe Out Bitterness That Causes War THE BASIS FOR PEACE Brussels, Nov. Lb. Cardinal Me.--cier and Burgomaster Max, two of the most prominent figures of the war in Belgium, excepting King Al bert, received The Asoclated Press correspondent. Both men are as different phyhically and mentally as the ideas, ideals p.nd opinions they represent of the Liberal Party. "You have saved us," said the Cardinal, when asked what he thought about America's participa tion in the war. "You have saved the world." Cardinal Mercier is tall and dig nified. He was garbed in a purple soutane. He chatted with the cor respondent for more than half an hour. "I never despaired, I never lost hope, although at times my heart was very full," the Cardinal said, referring to an incident in Decem ber, 1914, when Baron von Bless ing, Military Governor of Belgium, virtually made him a prisoner in his Episcopal Palace. ".I received a tel egram then from the Associated Press and have never ben able to answer it. I wish to reply to u noy: " 'Yes, Bissing treated uu as a prisoner for four cays.' " Concerning the Governors of Bel glum during the war Cardinal Mer cier said that Falkenhausen was more cruel and inhuman than Biss ing and more perfidious, insidious .;hI dangerous. "There was not much to choose V;?;ven them, however," he said. Referring to his quite recent birtli d;'y anniversary thr; corespondent complimented the Cardinal upon hip robust appearance and health. Tin.'. Cardinal replied: "It is true that 1 am 67, but rath er it is my seventy-first, because tlu. last your years seemed like eight to me." Alluding to the change in the gov ornmsnt of Germany, Cardinal Mer cier said: "I am no politician. However, the changes there seem too sudden fo be lasting. The new government appears to me lika a camouflage of the autocracy, and the changes seem to have been made to order accord ing o prearranged schedule. "It Is God's justice, and the pub lic conscience is satisfied. The tri umph of justice is complete; the barbarian device that might is right (Continued on last page? Paris, Nov. 26. The United' States governmen: a immense diplo matic success in obtaining from th allied governmenis acceptance of President Wilson's points, with only one reservation and addition, is In coming daily more apparent as th preliminaries for the approaching peace congress are being outlined largely on the basis of the resident' points. Col. oHuse, the special represen tative of the United States Govern ment when he arrived here, found: little disposition a mong America and European friends to accept as a totality the irame work of peace a expressed by President Wilson. Some European statesmen consider ed that the points had workked as t good solvent upon Germany; that, they had served their great purpose in their effect upon German unity, but that they should not be observed too closely when it came to formu lating the practical details of tbv settlement. (Allied statesmen plainly put for ward the view that, as the Ameri can traditional policy had been one of detachment from European af fairs, it. was natural for the Ameri can government when the war brokw out in Europe, to consider it u quar rel among European nations and tu declare its neutrality. It was pointed out that for twn years and a half tho American gov ernment observed its neutrality and called the attention of both groups of belligerents to violations of sea law. America tnicred into tho wai both for that reason and because America did have a community of ideals of government and of human rights with the allies. America, as became a great country, was impell ed to put forth great efforts and she did. Allied statesmen have fully ap preciated the effect of Americau arms in winning the decision. , Nev ertheless, it was contended by some, this had been a controversy among European nations and the winning group, it was suggested that Amer ica, having accomplished her aims, would return to her detachment and allow the countries Intimately con cerned to arrange a settlement ac cording to the European viewpoint of the situations. ; Theses statesmen : made it plain that they would receive every friend ly counsel the United Stales would (Continued on Last "Page) THE TWELFTH TO FALL PRIVATE HENRY A.
