ASSOCIATED PRESS 1Mb NEAR EAST BELIEF Gil HEADWAY THRUOUT STATE N. C. Delegation in Washing' ton Write Endorsement to Colonel Bellamy. CALL MUST BE HEARD, SAYS SEN. SIMMONS RALEIGH, Dec. 17. The Christ mas appeal of the Near East Relief, sent to nearly all prominent citizens of North Carolina last Saturday by Josenmin Daniels, honorary state chairman, has already brought forth hearty endorsement from many per sons of prominence all over the state according to announcement today by Col. George H. Bellamy, the state chairman for North Carolina. Practically the entire North Car olina delegation n Washington, hear ing of the appeal, have written or. wired their unqualified endorsement to Col. Bellamy. Congressman Kit chin and Congressman Brinson have ; not yet been heard from, both be ing away from their offices on 'ac count of illness. Official Washington is more fam iliar with the dire need in the Bible lands than the people in the states. Congress chartered the organization when the senate refused to accept a mandate over Armenia and super vises its works of feeding and cloth ing over 110,000 orphans, and feed 550,000: refugees daily at its soup kitchens. , , . "I take this opportunity -to give my highest endorsement to the very eomm?ndable work of the Near East ; Relief Jq,. North Carolina and vflther parts of the country, and do not be lieve this grat humanitarian work can be praised too highly," Senator Lee S. Overman wrote to Col. Bel lamy. Senator Simmons wrote, while the people in the past '.few years' have been called on for most every kind of contribution, this call from the children in the land where Christ lived and died cannot and must not be denied, "I have no doubt that all of the people of North Carolina will meet the just demands of the situa tion in the Near East," Senator Sim. mons concluded Congressman Edward W. Pou ex pressed the keenest sympathy and best wishes that North Carolina will again lead all the states in the union in going over the topi in the national Near East Relief drive. . Congressman Charles M. Stedman declared that, it gives him great plea' sure to endorse the work and said that he knows of no measure which should appeal more to humanity, than the work of the Near East Relief. Zebulon Weaver, in a letter to a : constituent, expressed gratification that the sympathy of the American people for the Armenians continues so 'great. He described the plight v of the Near East people as a wor'd tragedy. ' William C, Hammer of Ashboro, who' is making a name for himself at his first session in congress, as sured Col. Bellamy of all the sup port he could give him. ' Robert L. ,Doughton of Laurel Springs declared that the many mil lions who are suffering for the help we could so abundantly give them should appeal very forcibly to every impulse within our being. A. L. Bulwinkle of the ninth dis trict expressed the hope that every North Carolinian will remember in the most substantial and generous way the tens of thousands of Arme- , ii man children who are starving be cause their parents were murdered for refusing to renounce Christ and all that He stood for and become Mohammedans. ' . H. L. Lyon of the sixth district de clared that if ' North Carolinians eerold realize the suffering and star- vstion facing the unfortunates in the RUSS NOVELIST TO PRINTT.B.BOOL STOCKHOLM, Dec, 17 Maxim Gorky novelist and formerly relief official, looked rited and ill when he arrived here enroute for Berlin. He said his principal purpose in vis iting Germany was to secure the printing of; manuscripts which cir cumstances had not permitted to be done before. "It is a big parci!", he .said, "which" I bring along and its con tents nre of the greatest importance to humanity for they include i new method for the treatment of tuber culosis. ' In food and fuel Gorky said Rus sian scientists were comparatively well off, thanks to the support which they have had from abroad, but wht they mostly needed was moral sup port encouraging them to new ef forts end it was from that point of view that it was essential their works should be published. "The position of Russian intellec tuals is terrible and practically hop eless", said Gorky. "It means that as dreadful a catstrophe as- could ever fall upon a nation has fal'en upon Russia. Investigations made by Professor Manukin show that in Petrograd 22 percent suffer from anemia, 29 percent have cancer, 11 percent are drunkards and 16 per cent gone mad. "A few days ago two professors tried to escape from Potrogad. One succeeded in passing the frontier into Finland but the other one was shot. ' ' Gorky said there wer no children in Russia now. They were all grown up and death was printed on their face. They wcrQn.o;'.more., human beings, they were starving dogs. They had forgotten all human ex pressions except the one "give us bread", and incessantly day and night they cried for bread. Wedding t Macclesfield. A quiet but beautiful wedding was solemnized at the home of the bride's parents on Thursday evening at 8 o'clock, when Misj Ora Ellington of Macclesfield became the bride of Mr. Walter Langley of Fountain, Rev. A. F. Lupton of Tarboro officiating. Promptly at the appointed hour the minister entered the living room, where: the vows were spoken, and took his place. Little Miss Julia V. Howard, the only attendant, ertcr- ed next, carrying a basket of 'beau tiful white flowers. She was follow ed by the bride and groom.

Immediately following the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Langley mo tored over tQ Fountain where they will be at home, in the future. LLOYD GEORGE MAKES PUBLIC ULSTER'S REPLY LONDON, Dec. 17. The Ulster cabinet's letter, definitely rejecting the British cabinet's invitation to enter the Irish Free (State was made public at Mr. Lloyd George's offi cial Downing street residence. The letter dispatched by Premier Sir James Craig protests, as was fore cast by an unofficial report in Bel fast, against Ulster's interests being involved in the Anglo-Irish treaty without her being consulted. Miss Clemmons left today for her home in Troy to spend Christmas. Mr. Henry Bryan returned last night from trip to Richmond. Bible lands they would give of their means unstintingly. H. S. Ward of the first district congratulated Col. Bellamy for his work on behalf of tht Near East Re lief and expressed the feelino- that much will be accomplished by North Carolina. FRANCE REFUNDS ERIC! PARIS, Dec, 17 Several French newspapers are' protesting against what they term "the misplaced gen erosity" of the government in refun ding to Americans when they 're turn to the Uniteed States the ten percent luxxury tax, they have paid on purchases. The newspapers say the govenment is giving away hun dreds of thousands of francs in this way which rightfully belongs to the i country Americans have read these pro- test with not a little surprise. Many who have tried to get back the tottil of their luxury tax, have disocver ed the difficulties are many. The first and most essential demand of the government officials at the port of embarkation is that all receipts of purchase must be. presented. Lux- ury tax concerns women almost en tirely and most of them forget, or lose these receipts. Those who know of this demand are comparatively few, so the luxury tax, so far as most homeward bound Americans are conserncd, usually remanins in France. EDWARDS TAKES BOOTLEGGER Officer C. L, Edwnrds wound a tight web around his victim, a boot legger, last night, when the dispenser of monkey rum alighted from train No. 57. Tilman Singleton, who with three other negroes, came in on the after noon train with a brand that, judg ing from its odor, was foreign to any other intoxicating beverage ever known in these quarters, cut up a peculiar "air" at the station upon his arrival and created the suspicion of Officer Edwards, who kept one eye on his man until he was positive he made no mistake in believing the heavy parcel which Singleton carried contained spirits of a fiery vintage. Tilman first darted into the wait ing room but did not stop there, as the officer was on the wat'en; going thru the room and across the tracks, he placed the suit case upon the ground and again returned to the waiting room. Officer Edwards was suspicious of a gun and thought Til man had made the second trip into the adjoining room to remove his weapon. However, this proved not to be the case. Tilman was approached by the officer, who demanded that he come out with a clean story of the con tents of the suitcase,, whereupon the bootlegger declared it contained a gallon, excepting the half pint which he had drank in the waiting room when the officer appeared to be anx ious, to make an arrest. He was brought to the city jail, where he awaits a hearing before the federal authorities, charged with commerce in liquor. ''. Tilman's three friends were not arrested, s r CREW OF AMERICAN , BARK IS RESCUED PANAMA, Dec. 17.

Italy has no ob jection to resuming relations with Russia through the present Soviet government, under certain condition, Premier Bonomi and Foreign Minis ter Torretta told the foreign affairs committee of parliament. These con ditions, however, must guarantee Italy's interests. The government re served full liberty of action as to the method of opening negotiations. The committee signified its appro-, val of the government's attitude, BECOMFS GREAT AliCENTER "S (Ey Rev. B. E. Brown.) And it came to pass in those days that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And all went to be taxed, everyone to his own city. And Joseph also went up from Nazareth, of Galilee, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, to be taxed with Mary, his espoused wife. Anil so it was, while they were there, she brought forth her first born son, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. St. Luke 2:1-7. What were these taxes levied for? i most pi-or men's tax money has gone j from that day to this it went to duiio battleships, and equip armies and pay the expenses of war. Augus- tus Caesar was building u mighty j fleet of great war triremes to patrol 1 the coasts of his far-flung empire, and he was trying to raise and equip ten more legions to take the place of the six which had just been de stroyed in the forests of Germany. He wanted to make his empire big ger, and so he proceeded -to wring j money from peaceful working-men j to pay for it. I Is not that strange now, that one thousand, nine hundred and twenty one Christ masses passed before any really serious attempt was made to put an -nd to that sort of thing? But this is to be the most notable of all the Christmasses since that time, in-as-much as it will mark a genuine movement to stop the practice of making men pay to get themselves killed, for a few men's train, or power. Why did they have to go to a hotel when they could not get in there, why did they have to go to a stable? Because home-life, and hospitality, had decayed in that country, as it does everywhere during and after wars. The few people who had homes were too selfish to take a poor wo man in, and so many people had gone to boarding a tthe hotel, that there was no room there for them. You I see that same condition now. Peo ple want to escape the burdens of housekeeping, and live in boarding houses. Those who want houses for themselves, cannot get them. When the beauty and sanctity of homo is restored to the world, Christ will have a more comfortable place te come to now, on the anniversaries of His birth. " RRINELANDERS EAT E COBLENZ, Dec, 17 American "chop suey" has been introduced to the Rhinclandcrs and they like it! The chop suey idea was conceiv ed by an American soldier Walter E.
