THE GASTON I A GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY MONDAY, WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY. VOL. XL. NO. 44. GASTOMA, X. C. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 16, 1919. 2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE. GREAT POWERS ARE IN REIGN OE ANARCHY COMPLETE ACCORD PREVAILS AT MUNICH GASTONIA BEHIND ON FUND FOR SUFFERERS INTEREST IN ELECTION SEEKS TO BE SMALL PRESIDENT FBERT'S ATTITUDE IS DEFIANT i By International News Sers ice. ) LONDON, April Iti. Premier Lloyd George defended his course at tlie peace c inference in tlie House of 'i i n nioi i this :i ."'! i-rinMiii, declaring that " f arejustiti I in taking time t'nr setting up tlie ma chiuery for tlie capable I cad.just ing ami cone. Hug of all blunders. We are full.v auar' of tlie impatience throughout tin world ifn r. I injj peace. The imlemnitie question is a ilillicolt one ami cannot b settled bs telegram." said Lloyd George Lloyd George also said: "Represent atiscs of tiie gicnt powers liae arrived tit a complete understanding on the fun ilainental ipiestions of peace ami ly the end of next week we liope the treaty wil' lie piesentdl to tier mans . ' ' THE VICTORY LOAN MUST BE A SUCCESS. ri..oiilite.ly the war has made a very .hep impression on the mim Is am! hearts of the men ami women throughout the nation. They 1 i I not set the nearly four million men go into uniform, all of them ready to sacrifice their lives if nee.l lie, without feeling that there was some very g cause for it. ami I lo not believe they thought that cause was simply a great military spectacle in the arena of Finnic ami Hamlets. They know there w.i- an i.lea liehin.l it all. ami that i.lea involves the opportunity ami happiness ami lilierty of the nations of the world licit h large ami small. Sixty thousand of iui men lie on the hells of France, and I lielieve we can make it clear to the Amer ican people, if they do not already realize it hotter than we think they do. that they are being asked to help in this final or Victory Loan to pay for the same cause for which they subscribed to the first four Lilierty Loans. There is the same great appeal liehind it the same Americans fought for it and the same Americans died lor it. it is no new thing. It is the same great cause which this nation armed itself to def I. The only differ- .me lift ween this campaign and the oth .1 campaigns is that now our cause has been crowned w itli vietoiy. Certainly that does not nullify the virtue of the ideal for which we were fighting, nor .jus tify us in saying that we ought not to go m wot king for this ideal not only now, when on i lulls remain unpaid, hut even afterwards when as a nation we must con tinue to stand liefore the world for the 4;inii' things we have fought for and died tor .lining the past year ami a half.

To make you a technical answer, the war is not over nntil the peace terms are concluded, and of eourse you realize that the German are now living under a purely temporary agreement which is very much more akin to war than it is to peace. Broadly speaking, however, it it true that the war is over in the sense that we are no longer killing millions of men ami starving wo men and children. From this standpoint, thank Cod. the war is at an end. But I think you will lie the first to realize that the killing of men on the field of liattle is the heroic and dramatic evidence of the fact that a nation of people are nrous ed to a great purpose. ' It was the Amer ican jieople as a whole men. women and children, who went into this war because they believed it was right ami because they were determined to win it. They gladly ami willingly pirt the whole strength of the country liehind the strug gle and they rolled up enormous hills in connection with it. The war in its larger sense will not W over until this deep purpose which was in the hearts of the American people is accomplished and the honorable debts in curred in connection with it honorably discharged. We have bought a Victory we should certainly 1 willing to pay for it. GASTOXIA LOIXiE XO. 369 A. F. A. M. Called Meeting Friday, Apr. 18, 8:00 p. m.

In the write up of last Thursday's game between the Detroit Tigers and the Boston (raves, sent in to The Detroit News by its special writer. M. F. Druken I'Kid. occurs the following paragraph: ''Gastouia may sound like a mineral well, but it s not : its the cotton mill and sporting center of this district. It turned out the largest paid attendance so fa r. ' ' Other comment on the game is as fol lows : ' Facing odds win. 'ii wo;:. 1 have .lis heartened most clubs, Boston kept com iug along until the club entered the ninth, four runs behind. They made a desper ate try for those four and came so close that the Tigers heaved sighs of relit-f when Koike- popped out with the tying run ssithin scoring distance. 'It was a Detroit victory because the hitting fever becomes epidemic among the Tigers. Any time they have a break out like that nothing can stop them, iust as lias lieen the case with theni for years. They massed singles, doubles and home runs almost at will and except for care less play near the close, would have in creased their total. Rudolph was lucky to stick three innings, while two was enough for Keating. Northrop was not scored upon because the Tigers did not regard more runs necessary. At a gneat disadvantage because jt the hard diamond, which made fieldjig of ground balls almost impossible awl because of short fences, which account for the home runs and most of the dou bles. George Cunningham did well. As long as he got the balls over he kept the Braves in check, practically all of his worries being due to occasional wild spells. Krickson went the last four innings, when the Braves did most of their scor ing. He complained of an injured knee, but was kept in to the end. He had a close .rail because of the determined ef forts of his opponents. "Cobb survived his first game and made no complaint of soreness. He re fuseil to do much throwing here, making the infielders come out to reach his re turns. The first three times up he failed to fret the ball out of the infield, but the next time he hit the eenterfteld fence on the fly for a double." Interest in the election being held to das on the proposition of a cits manager loi in of government for (iastonia is mi usiialls small and unless this afternoon tells a tale different from that of the tore noun the side cast svill be light. I'p to noon less than a bundled votes had been cast. 'These, however, so far as b known were all in favor of the proposi tion. 1'nlike the usual election there are no candidates and con-ciiientl nuhodv is tearing his shirt"' to see that a large vote i polled. Sentiment, however. i" strongly fas.ua I de to the adi.ptu.ii of the city mauagei form as against the old a hlei ma ii I. form now in vogue and there is hatdls a possibility that it will not fail to c.inv.
