With the earth carpeted in green
And flowers blooming everywhere

Each a cause for thankfulness,
For all these a lesson show,
Look at these acrostic lines and
You'l learn there's work for you to do

At a meeting of the Beard of Trus
tees of the town of Pembroke Monday
evening, the licenses of the three sa
loons of Pembroke were cancelled by
unanimous vote. Yesterday morn
ing Judge Chaniplin also revoked the
state licenses and in the afternoon
formal notices were served by the
sheriff, notifying them of the action
taken.
It is pTesumed that the saloons
will not attempt to reopen today.
As it ia well known, the sa
loons in Pembroke were the only ones
in the county that re-opened April
1st, in violation of the "gentlemen's
agreement" made by all, that no in
toxicating liquors would be sold af
ter March 31st.
AH of the saloons in the county
promptly closed in accordance with
the agreement and there has been
much current speculation as to wheth
er this agreement could be made bind
ing and supported by law. The ac
tion taken yesterday seems to leave
no doubt as the actual results.

MS BACK:
Paris, April 8. The commission on
the league of nations held a plenary
session last" night, and it is expected
that the members voted on the amend
ments of the Monroe Doctrine and ra
cial discrimination offered by . the
American delegates and Japanese,
respectively.
The peace conference has appar
ently . reached the turning point be
tween definite and speedy results ana
further prolonged delay. The indi
cations were toward action, but new
doubts began to appear whether. the
desired results could be accomplish
ed within a fortnight, as Premier
Lloyd George and Col. White have
predicted.
The council of four hours was to
have met at 11 o'clock at the White
House, where the president is still
confine'' to bed, but able t confer
with his colleagues in emergencieSi
It developed, however, that Premier
Lloyd George has been affected in a
similar manner as the president,
which has confined him also to his
bed. A morning session of the coun
cil was therefore impossible.
Meet At Lloyd George's.
It has been determined to have the
council meet at Lloyd George's resi
dence, so as to be near him, and have
the session begin at 3:30 o'clock,
with Premier Clemenceau,, Premier
Orlando ,Col House and financial
experts present. Reparations was
again the chief issue, and although
settled in the main principle, a num
ber of essential details still remain
open.
One of the American experts sum
med up the situation as he entered
the meeting saying:
"The chances are favorable to an
agreement, but we have not agreed
yet."

Rear Admiral William S. Simms com
mander in chief of the American na
val forces in European waters, de
clared on his arrival here aboard the
British liner Mauretania. .
Depth charges and listening devi
ces he said, contributed materially to
success in Maintaining practically
unbroken trans-Atlantic "bridge" of
transports and supply ships essential
to the allied victory as did the "mag
nificent work" of the merchant sea
men who took their cargoes across,
convoy or no convoy but it was the
convoying scheme, worked out in a
fine detail by the combined fleets of
the associated powers, the officer as
serted, which made possible the trans
portation and supplying of the great
American force whose appearance in
battle with the allies turned the tide
against the German invaders on the
western front.
Germany was winning the war, the
rear admiral stated, when he arrived
in England the day after the United
States became a belligerent. Teuton
interference with the allied shipping
he added, was a serious problem, sol
ved only when conferences of the
British, American and allied com
mands worked out and put into prac
tice the system of protecting vital
ships, which prevailed unl the ces
sation of hostilities.

The humble citizen of Italy in
sists upon doing his part to help his
country to, carry her war and post
war financial burdens. There are no
Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps in Italy, and there are hun
dreds of thousands of patriotic Ital
ians who never have more than a.-'
dollar or two at a time to offer their
government. . "Mi'tL'aani
But in Italy, just as in all nth?
belligerent nations, a wav has ben
provided to take advantage of the
invaluable assistance which the small
est mvester can ge the nation both
in war and in peace. The Italian
government has arranged to sell nrr
bonds through the banks on the elub
plan. A workman or small farmer
goes to a bank and makes a small de
posit and asks that a 100 lire $20)
war bond be purchased for him. '-He-then
completes the payment for hi
bond at the rate of 7 lira .($1.40)
per month. He may secure a 500
lira band bv monthlv iuvmnti
35 lira ($7.00).
Though they have different meth
ods of coveting the contributions
of that large proportion of their ci
tizens who are unable to accumulate '
$100 or even $20 at one time, it will
be found that every one of the belli
gerent nations has found it absolute-:
ly essential to make some arrange
ment to secure the support of the "
small invester. Great Britian and
the United State8 are meeting the
situation by the sale of small denom
inational government securities in
the form of war savings stamps or
securities. France, Italy and others
accomplish the same result by issu
ing a small denomination bond pay
able on some sort of an installment'
plan.

370 million pounds sterling. whr.

before the Armistice, at a time when '
hostilities were at their heie-ht. wa
just 350 million. This indicates that
other great nations, as well as the
United States, are findine that htwr
will require more funds to get thru
the year following the great war
than they did to carry on the war a
year. This also exphinR t!io rw:..
