MEETING HOPE FOR
ULTIMATE PEACE
Despite Peaceful Turn in the
Near East Situation there
Are Bridges to Cross
LONDON, Oct. 1.—With the vir
tual acceptance by Mustapha Kemal
Pasha of a conference at Mudania
Tuesday, or as soon as possible there
after, the whole Near Eastern situa
tion is considered temporarily easier.
However, the fact that Turkish
troops are still concentrating in the
Ismid zone, notwithstanding that
they have retired slightly in the
Chanak zone, would indicate, accord
ing to remarks made after British
Cab:net’s second meeting today, that
“Kemal is still playing a game.”
While the Cabinet members ap
pear to be much gratified at the
happy conclusion for the moment of
a d’tliculty which might have neces
sitated the use of force in the
Chanak zone, there are other bridges
to cross. Up to the present there is
no information from General Har
rington, the British Commander at
Constantinople, that Kemal will at
tend the Mudania conference, al
though General Harrington’s dis
patches indicate he might.
At the end of several cabinet
meetings Saturday, information
from the Near East was considered
not altogether satisfactory and two
additional meetings were held today.
The Mudania meeting will be a
purely military affair to arrange, ac
cording to the original Allied note to
Kemal Pasha, that the neutral zone
shall be respected and also to agree
upon lines behind which the Greeks
are to withdraw in Thrace, both
points pending a peace conference.
There will be present military rep
resentatives of the three Allied pow
ers as well as of Greece and Turkey.
It is pointed out that the very
basis of this conference is respect
for the neutral zone and before it
begins the Turks will be expected to
evacuate the Chanak area entirely.
On this point there has been quib
bling until the British cabinet per
mitted General Harrington to send a
virtual ultimatum to the Turks to
clear out. Although the Turks have
not yet withdrawn completely, they
have evacuated the heights of Eren
Keui and have desisted also from
parading before the British wire en
tanglements.
If the Turks aroused Ismid com
mence such action, or attempt to
enter the neutral zone at that point,
there is likelihood that the British
will raise the question before enter
ing the conference.
Another question which may arise
within the conference is the form
of government or control to be estab
lished in Thrase pending the terms
of peace. It is certain that the
Turks will demand that they be per
mitted to take over and occupy
Thrace immediately to protect their
Nationalists, keep order and pre
vent confusions and crime with the
withdrawals of the Greeks. It is sug
gested that Allied officials and troopi
might be used for this purpose.
The Turks evidently have made a
concession with regard to the time
limit set for the embarkation of
refugees at Smyrna, which expired
Saturday. They did not officially ex
tend the lilit, bdt they are permit
ting without molestation the vessels
now in Smyrna harbor to take the
refugees aboard.
The presence in London of the for
mer Greek Premier, Venizelos, con
tinues to occupy attention. He called
offcially at the foreign office this
morning, but did not see Lord Curzon
nor Prime Minister Lloyd George at
No. 10 Downing street.
It is explained that his visits might
be misinterpreted. However, there is
no doubt that he intends to act
abroad for Greece and that he will
attempt to secure a favorable settle
ment from a Greek viewpoint of
Thrace and other questions.—Asso
ciated Press.

a word to say. Just sits there and

DR. LORENZ WILL INTRODUCE
A BLOODLESS OPERATION
NEW YORK. Sept. 29.—Dr. Wolf
Lorenz, famous Austrian orthopedic
surgeon, returned to this country tor
day on the United American liner
Reliance to continue his charity work
among cripples and to introduce a
new bloodless operation which, he
said, would relieve the sufferings of
hitherto hopeless cases.
With him came his two sons, Dr.
Albert Lorenz, of Vienna, and Con
rad Lorenz, 19, who will become a
student of medicine and surgery at
Columbia university. His elder son,
who conducted orthopedic operation i
for 10 years, will aid him, Dr. Lo
renz said.
Concerning the new operation he
hoped to demonstrate before Ameri
can sdrgeons, Dr. Lorenz said he felt
it would be his “last contribution to
orthopedic surgery,” but declined to
reveal its nature until it has been
“discussed in the medical press and
before medical societies.”
He would demonstrate it, and the
results would be widely shown
through moving pictures, he said.—

'A KIWANIS CLUB
ORGANIZED HERE
Sixty-five Men Present At
Organization Banquet;
W. N. Holt, President
l
Sixty-five business men of Smith
field sat down to an appetizing ban
quet Thursday evening, and during
the course listened to an explanation
of what a Kiwanis Club is, the af
fair winding up in the organization
of a club in this city.
More than a week ago Kiwanian
Geo. A. Selig, of Knoxville, Tenn., a
field representative of Kiwanis Inter
national, was in this city and met a
group of men relative to the step
whic hwas taken Thursday evening.
A banquet was planned and the Wo
man’s Club was asked to arrange for
the feed. By Thursday evening the
ladies had done their part, and the
second floor of one of Mr. Charles
Davis’ new stores was aglow with
lights, shading their brilliance over
two long tables gleaming with their
appoints of silver and cut glass. The
banquet was served in three courses.
Kiwanian Selig was on hand again,
and was master of ceremonies. He
soon had those sixty-five men ring
ing out “America”, “Pack Up Your
Troubles,” “The Old Family Tooth
brush,” “Till We Meet Again” and
other old and new favorites, so lus
tily that the various church choirs
would have listened with envy. Those
present know that Smithfield men
can sing.
After a song or two each one pres
ent was requested to rise, give his
name, where born, occupation, and
name he wished to ibe called by.
Having thus got acquainted, the mas
ter of ceremonies made a talk on
“Kiwanis.” “Kiwanis,” he said, “is
an Indian name and means “a square
,ite car%,r swords, “a good
Indian,” and since adopted as a club
name has addeci to its original mean
ing by the unselfish service it has
rendered to communities, states and
t.hp nflt.inn 99
“The first Kiwanis Club was orga- |
nized at Detroit, Michigan, in Jan- 1
uary 1915. Today there are over
850 clubs, and a membership of near
ly 75,000 of America’s leading busi
ness and professional men.”
“The mission of Kiwanis is two
fold. First it creates that spirit in
| a community which enables other ex- j
, isting organizations to accomplish
j more easily the things for which
! they were organized, and the second
is the development of community
leaders. Part of th ework of Kiwanis
is transforming indifferent Ameri
can business men into workers who
, are thinking along the lines of civic
j betterment and national improve
ment.”
After listening to the discussion
: Kiwanis and singing more songs
j and eating more food, an organiza
tion for Smithfield was effected. A
nominating committee composed of
Messrs John Morris, W. H. Austin,
and Heber Creech, retired and later
presented the following report which
was adopted: President Mr. W. N.
Holt; vice president, Mr. J. A. Wel
lons; district trustee, Mr. Ransom
Sanders; board of directors: Messrs
E. S. Edmundson, N. B. Grantham, T.
R. Hood, F. K. Broadhurst, Charles
Davis, R. P. Holding and T. C.
Young.
The selection of a secretary-treas
urer was left to the board of direc
tors. The new president took the
chair, and a motion was introduced
and carried to have the next meet
ing Friday evening, October 13, when
Kiwanian Selig would be present
again to instruct the various com
mittees as to their duties.
The organization has begun en
thusiasticallq. It is a Kiwanian
boast that not a club has ever died.
Therefore Smithfield expects much >
from this new club, and has every
right to see its expectations fulfilled.
Self-Cont rolled.
Philip—My man, I think you are
one of the most self-controlled men
I have ever seen.
Morris—Howcum ?
ou seem to have an awful lot
of trouble with your flivver. You
get angry with it, and yet you never
swear at it.”
“Well, you see it’s this way. I don’t
think the flivver is worth a damn.”—

KEMAL SAYS THRACE MUST
NOT BE LEFT TO HELLENES
PARIS, text of Mustapha Kemal’s
reply to the allied joint note of Sep
tember 23, was made public tonight
by the foreign office.
The reply is dated Sept., 29 and
promises immediately to stop the
military operations which have been
developing toward Constantinople
and Chanak, “in pursuit of the
Greek armies." It accepts the pro
posal for an armistice conference at
Mudania next Tuesday with repre
sentatives of the entente and nomi
nates General Ismid Pasha to act for
the Turks.
Dealing with Thrace, the reply
is worded with marked firmness. It
credits the entente with sentiments
of justice toward Turkey, but de
mands that Thrace shall not be left
one day longer under the Greek ar
my, saying that it is indispensable
that Thrace shall be evacuated imme
diately and restored to the Angora
government up to the west of the
Maritza riverf including Adrianople.
The note which is signed by Yus
suf Kemal, minister of foreign af
fairs, begins by saying that a formal
teply to the entente's note will be
sent in a few days by his govern
ment.
“Confident in the assurances
which M. Franklin-Bouillon has giv
en the commander-in-chief of the
Turkish armies in accord with the
representatives of the entente pow
ers meeting in Paris, and persuaded
that negotiations will at once be
proceeded with to establish a just
peace," the note continues, “an order
has bet n given to stop immediately
>ur unitary movements which have
been unceasingly developing in the
direcrion of Constantinople and Cha
nak Kaieh in pursuit of the Greek
armies."
The reply, in conclusion, accepts
Mudania for a conference on October
3 and names Ismet Pasha, command
er of the armies on the west front,
as Turkish representative and asks
to be informed as to the names of
generals representing the entente

j ed by its unsteadiness the Smithfield
High School was defeated by the Ra
leigh team by the score of 12-0.
Smithfield threatened to score twice,
in the third and in the fourth quar
ters, but failed each time to put out
the necessary .driving power to car
ry the ball over. Raleigh threatened
twice and succeeded twice, carrying
the ball over the first and last quar
ters. Raleigh attempted to drop
kick goal twice but failed.
Hiner and Spence played especial
ly good football for Raleigh. Hiner
pulled five passes from the air, mak
ing a beautiful 25 yard run with
one. Both his and Spences ability
to gain off tackle and around end was
a great factor in winning the game.
Spence scored the second touchdown
when he ran off Smithfield right
tackle for fifteen yards in fourth
quarter. Glass cored first touchdown
with ball on Smithfield one yard line
by a line plunge.
Smithfield made five first downs. |

PLASTERERS ARE MAKING
$26 A DAY IN CHICAGO ■
CHICAGO, Sept. p9.—Some union
plasterers in Chicago are making big
ger weekly wages than some bank
presidents, according to Herman H.
Hettler, lumber dealer and president
of the Illinois Manufacturers’ Asso
ciation
According to what one contractor
tells me,” said Mr. Hettler, ‘‘he pays
his plasterers $2 an hour and $10 a
day bonus for working on his jobs.
That would make $26 a day for union
plasterers hired by that particular
contractor. Saturday afternoons he
pays $4 an hour, or $16 for four
hours’ work. The same double scale ■
of $1 on hour prevails for Sunday
work.
“This contractor tells me also that
the union and the employers have
signed a three year agreement. The
contractors are said to control 100
per cent, of all the plastering jobs
in the city and the union 100 per cent
of the journeymen plasterers and
their helpers.
Combinations have been formed j
among the supply houses that con- |
trol much of the materials that en- :

JOHNSTON HAVE
A HEALTH NURSE
Plan* Being Considered For
New County Home; Is
Now Well Kept
Yesterday was a busy day for the
County Commissioners, and their
first meeting in the new court house
was characterized by at least two
things of importance to the people
of the County—the decision to have
a whole time health nurse, and the
consideration of plans for a new
county home.
The decision has been made to
build a new County home, but de
tails of its location and the plan of
the building to be constructed have
no* yet been settled upon. Plans
have been submitted to the county
commissioners and are now under
consideration. A special meeting
will be held next Monday for furth
er conference with the architect. A
letter to the County Welfare Officer
from the State Department of Publ;c
Welfare, published on the editorial
page of this issue of THE HERALD
was read befoi-e the commissioners
yesterday which commends the pres
ent administration of the county
home though condemning the build
ing as inadequate to the needs of
Johnston County. But the commis
sioners are now taking steps to re
move that blot from the county.
The other matter of interest to
the general public was brought to
the attention of the commissioners by
Dr. I. W. Mayerberg, of Selma, rep
resenting the Johnston County Medi
cal Society. He stated that since
Johnston County had lost out in the
effort to have the International
Training base located in this county,
he would like to have a proposition
put before them of maintaining a
whole time public health nurse in
the county. He then introduced Dr.
M Li -feler.. .of tfre State Health De^
partment who presented the needs of
a public health nurse in the follow
ing form:
“Getnlemen: I wish to come be
fore you today to present a proposi
tion which we hope will be benefi
cial to the health and prosperity of
the county and to you as individual
citizens.
"It has been decided by the state
board of health that Johnston Coun
ty posseses many advantages as a
field in which to work out practical
methods in infant hygiene; it repre
sents a practically typical cross sec
tion of the country, it is neither en
tirely rural or entirely urban but is
indeed a happy combination of both,
it is easily accessible to Raleigh. In
addition, Johnston county needs work
along these lines. You all may see
from these slips I have passed
around the importance of such work
here. There are approximately 2000
births annually, 650 deaths annually.
Of these 650 deaths there are rough
ly 300 each year which occur under
two years of age. This means that
about 46 per cent of your total deaths
occur under the age of two years.
The state-wide average is only 36.4
per cent. Thes figures are for the
past two years. They are convincing
that something positive should be
done to stop this waste of life which
is ten per cent greater than in the
state at large. It is an established
fact that a large proportion of these
deaths can be prevented through
proper educational methods and thru
adequate medical attention.
“The plan is dependent on the sup
port and active participation of the
medical profession. This support
and help was obtained by unanimous
vote at the regular meeting of the
county medical society last Tues
day. You may rely on their support.
They will direct the activities of the
nurse and do all in their power to
further the interests of this work.
The plan is to secure the services
of a nurse who, since this is to be
a demonstration county, will of ne
cessity be a woman who is excep
tionally well trained along these
lines. Her work will always be re
stricted to infant hygiene and pre
natal work, indeed the difficulty be
ing not in finding enough work for
her to do but rather to limit her
scope so that she will really accom
plish something. Therefore, I have
tentatively mapped out her activities
in some such manner as this: (1)
she will visit all children under 1
year of age and suggest changes in
