COMMUNITY AID TO SOLVE PEACE QUESTIONS URGED Development of State Organization to Meet Readjustment Emergencies Advised NEW YORK. Jan. 23. To meet pmerganclea of the readjustment and demobilization period, the council of national defense, through the state and territorial councils and Us woman's committee, has asked that legislation be Instituted in the various states to provide for the development of wholesome community organization under a permanent statae leadership on a non partisan basis to succeed the present system. This announcement was made here today by Orosvenor B. Clarkson, director of the United States council of national defense. The council recommends that the proper functions be vested in commission:! composed of such state departments as those dealing with education agriculture and labor, which are 'In most intimate contact with communities. Dy this means It is felt that the organized . community and the state executive departments will reach the maximum of co-operation and mutual assistance. Social Effort Interdependent. "It Is plain," Mr. Clarkson declares, "that the great lesson of the war to America has been the interdependency of social effort. It Is equally plain Jhat permanent dividends for the' future should be drawn from this wartime co-oeratlon. The council of National defense believes that community organization will bring Into our national life a much needed element rf co-operative endeavor and civic orderliness which will make for democratic and efficient public service. "It will develop an intelligent community interest and sense of responsibility in the improvement of the buldings, grounds, streets, and parks of tho community anad in the community health sanitation and general welfare; and it will lead to action on tho behalf of tho whole community upon these matters. It will provide a ready contact between the community and the forces of the state and nation so that the community may become articulate on state, and national affairs and so that at any time the assistance of all members of the community can be quickly mobilized by the state proclamation to meet new problems or emergencies." Mr. Clarkson stated that the machinery of the council is comprised of 184,400 units of state, county and community councils, which since the signing of the armistice have added to their activities the formation of more than 1,800 employment bureaus. He declares that it is now evident that fcr the best interests of all elements 'that "th's vast net-work of community should become the permanent lielrs of the state council of defense system." i -' tp mmm men LAND !N NEW YORK: MORE ARE ON WAY fv Associated Press.

SOLON OBJECTS TO PRAYER OF PROM WORKER

(By Associated Press) - INDIANAPOUS. Jan. 23 Senator Charles A. Hagerty of South .: Bend precipitated a heated argument in the upper body of the legislature today following the opening- prayer which was delivered by Rev. W. H. Book of Columbus, Ind. The senator from South Bend protested against the thanks and congratulation which Dr. Book extended the senate and legislature for Its enactment of the prohibition law. "We don't need the thanks and congratulations of any paid representative of the anti-saloon league." Senator Hagerty shouted when he arose to a question of personal privilege following the Invocation. "We don't want anyone to stand on the rostrum and under the cloak of a minister advise this body as to its policy. What would you say it some one would bring a brewer or distiller into this chamber and invite him to make a liquor speech under the guise of a prayer?" Senator Hagerty threatened to resign when Lieut. Governor Bush refused to recognize him. The senate demanded an appeal from the decision of the chair, which was voted down. Later a motion thanking the minister for the prayer was passed 44 to 2. City Statistics Daths and Funerals.

Mothers of America What Would You Have Done?

EARLY one morning, in tearsoaked Western Asia, an American found a wee baby on his doorstep. The note pinned to it said, "I cannot feed it. jl know you'll not let my baby starve !" Would YOU have let that baby starve? Would you let any baby starve if you had the means to save it? Suppose that happened to your baby it won't ; but suppose it did wouldn't you pray God to melt all the hearts in the world, to save your baby? Every poor, terror-stricken Armenian, Syrian, and Jewish mother in Bible lands is praying now just as you would.

It costs only 1 7 cents a day, $5.00 a month, $60.00 a year, to feed one famishing baby

INSURANCE MEN III '. ANNUAL SESSION

Reports of the secretary and treas urer of the Brethren Trl-County Mu tual Protective Association, given at the twenty-fourth annual meeting of that organisation held at the court house Thursday showed that the company Is in a splendid condition. The treasurer's report Indicated that 5,250 individual policies are in force at present, 1,450 of which were writiten during the last" year, which awarded $3,450,000 of a total $12,000,000 issued by the association. Losses sustained by fire and lightning amounted to $22,751.82. Expenses amounted to $2,600.33, making a total of $25,352.15. The balance from last year was $10,094.32. Collections amounted to $27,915.55. The' annual address was delivered by Peter Flant, of Connersville. The most important subject under discussion was the elimination of the amount insured carried by the individual person, formerly $5,000 on a building and its contents. Under this new arrangement the company will be able to carry better and more expensive property. . As there Is a state Mutual Insurance company the local association becomes a member, which will enable the state organization to write policies on city residences and contents. This arrangement has been made in other states and the amount of insurance has been so much lessened that the number of policies written in cities has been remarkable. Reports and miscellaneous business were taken up. ; Election of officers took place Thursday afternoon. ' Soldiers to Be Given 1 ! " " ' i PARIS, Jan. 23. -All American offi-i cere and soldiers will get a chance to se Pags on a leave of absence or three days before sailing homeward, according to General Order No. 14, issued from American general headquarters in Jan 18. American soldiers of Italian, French, Belgian and British extraction ill have' an opportunity to Visit their former homes or relatives before returning to the United State. ... The general order, however, carries one condition to the clause concerning visits to Paris as follows: "Permission may be granted without special reason to men of exceptional good character, who may be expected to conduct themselves properly at all times and who have sufficient funds." Black marks against privates will not prevent them, however, from obtaining leaves of absence to visit relatives in France, Belgium, Great Britain and Italy. Believe Kinsella Killed While Uncoupling Cars The decision that George Kinsella, who was killed Tuesday at Hagerstown, came to his death when be was uncoupling two cars, has been arrived at by County Coroner S. Edgar Bond. It is supposed that the engineer gave the signals and something happened to hinder Kinsella from getting out and one of the wheels of the car crushed his right arm and head.

For hundreds of years the Turk has fed these unfortunates on cruelty and oppression. He has crushed them by evil misrule. He has polluted them by devilish Moslem practices. Now that the Turk has been fought to harmlessness, they call to America for help. $30,000,000 must be raised for immediate relief, for food, clothing, fuel, medical attendance and employment. We know our American mothers will be the first to give md their husbands, sons and daughters will be very close behind.

Mrs. Marini said that she was compelled to work and support them both, that he threatened On several occasions to disfigure her so that no one else would care for her, that he said if he did not there was always someone who would by which she said she thought he meant to imply that he was a member of some terrible blackhand gang.
