which left the roadway one mile from
here, collided with a one-hoise team
and parked in the yard of a farmer,
killtd James Hill, aged 12, perhaps
latally injured Mrs Julia Ann Smitn
and a one-year-old infant, surrender
ed to the I'olice today and asked thai

The negro claims the accident was
due to a broken steering gear, but
reports that he had been drinking
and was driving the truck at a reck
less speed, nave caused threats of
violence. nwff'
The truck was loaded with ne
groes, several of whom were labo

company, in response to the feeling
in the Deed river section, have re

Rev W. W. Rowii announced at

active ministry in tle Reformed
c'.iureh. It was on the 4th Sunday
t.'f June that he preached his first
sermon in Heidleberg Reformed
chuuh. Thomas ville, N. C. His ser
mon on that occasion was from Psalm
02:5 "My sou!, wait thca- only upon
God, for my expectation is from
Him." Mr. Kowe's sermon on Sunday
morning was from the parable of the
Good Samaritan. He emphasized the
fact that there are two sides to til?
road of life. On the one side are the.
pour and maimed and the halt and
the blind. Here is where men need
lu'lo, and need it quickly. Hero we
can find channels for service. TIu

Robert Cecil in the house of com

could state the government' atti
tude as to the admission of Germany
nt0 the league of nations, Prime Min-
lister Lloyd George said the British
government had no objection to such
admission. -
In answer to Lord Robert's ques
tion the prime minister said this is
not a question that concerns Great
Britain alone; but it concerns Ger-
many herself. So far as his majesty's
government is concerned, it is ready
to a!mit Germany.

New Orleans, June 2v-A new
chapter in the histe'ry of efforts to
ward bringing about .world peace will
be written when representatives of
World War Fighter from eight prin
cipal Allied powers meet in New
Orleans October ,11, 12 and 13 at tlu
annual convention of the Inter-Allied
Vetreans Federation.
The convention, which will be held
a few days before the fo'urth annual
national convention ; of the American
Legion here, will be attended by
thirty-five accredited delegates from
the following Ex-service organiza
tion: -American Legion . United
States: Federation Nationale des
Combattants, - Belgium ; British Leg
ion; Nnion Nationala a Fostilor Lup
tatori, .. Roumania; IJdi uzenja Re.er
vni,tch -Oficiara i Obvennika. Serbia -Drnziiia,
CzechovSlovaki.
In addition. France will send re
presentatives ...from -'the Union Na
tional des Combattants, Union Na
tionale des Mutile et Reformed, Le
Poilu de France, Ligue des Chefs de
Section, Camaradcs de Ccmbat, and
from a society of former French in
terpreters who are assigned to the
American and British armies during
the war, known as the Sphinx. Fivr
delegates will rep'ersent each county.
One of the chief aims cf the in
ternational fighters' organization is
to nrompt world peace, and the New
Orleans gathering- will be known as
"the convention of peace." To further
this ideal the. convetion will decide
upon means of obtaining representa
tion for veterans at interalllied and
international congress. International
edchange rates will also be a topic
for discussion.
Headquarters of the Federation
is now at work on the preparation
c'f data on comparative legislation
affecting ex-service men.
The delegates, Who will consider
themselves guests of the American
Legion, will meet in Paris and sail
from Lee Havre on the - same "?hip!
Landing at New York, jt he; distin
guished visitor will proceed to ' WasTi
ingtcn, where appropriate ccrmonies
will be held at the tomb of the un-j
known soldier in America cemetery
Represetative will be paid to the
United States government and to var
ious diplomatic representative of
the countries participating in t7i"
cnnfprpncp although there is a de
finite undestanding that the conven
tion of veterans in its deliberation?
will not be influenced by any con
sideration of present day politics.
Among the questions to be consid
ered at the conference are:
1. Laws allowing disabled veterans
living in an 'Allied country to obtain
in htat conutry, in the same way as
the native ex-service men of thai
country, reduction in railroad fares.
.2 The eventual hospitalixatir.'n o;
disabled or other im'pecunius veter
ans living in Allied countries on tne
same besis as his comrades who serv
ed in the aimied forces of the coun
try in which the foreigner lives.
3. Unemployment in Allied coun
tries: Arrangements to be made by
which an Allied government havinu
need of foreign labor,'" will '-.give pe:"
f erence to unemployed veterans of
other Allied countries. This prlic-y
has already resulted in the forma
tion of plants for employment of 50,
000 jobless British veterans in the
French devastated regions.
Despite the fact that English was
the language employed in the Wash
ington disarmament conference, de
legates to theNew urleans :, meeting
will hold deliberations in French. The
'general public . will be invited to j
attend the sessions. !

Washington, June 24. While there
may be worlds, millons of them
j populated by beings and cultured by
civilization; the planet Venus, ac
cording to Dr. C. G. Abbott, assist
ant Secretary of the Smithsonian In
stitution, is the only one known to
I scientists whose conditions most
nearly apprximate those under whicn
'life thrive.
j Writing in the annual report of the
(Institution, just made public, Dr.
jAbbott, while he does not declare
j Venus to be inhabited, rejects the
possioihty of other nearby planets
holding intelligent life.
Dr. Abbott does cite, however, the
; chance that there may be any num
Jber of celestial bodies, vet invisible
L-wougn rne most powerlul telescope,
on which there mav thrive some sort
(.; life. ...
As is well known, the scientist
states, stars are suns like our own,
and ju'st as Old Sol has his retinue
of satellites, of which one at least,
is inhabited, so may the distant ones
have one or more populous followers.
However, most of these are so far
from us, he says it is hardly con
ceivable telescopes will ever be so
perfected as to detect their systems,
if they have them, or decide wheth
er or not such bodies do exist.
"The probability is that they do sc"
Dr. Abbott states, "and in such im
mense numbers that among them
there may well be many suitable for
abodes of intelligent life. This sub
ject, of course, opens the door wide
for speculation, but this field lies
so far from the realns of certainty
that it is not my purpose to enter
upon it here."
The moon, he continues, is known
to bo a waterless, airless, inountain
ons desert. There is no probability
whatever that intelligent life can be
there. No living things, scarcely even
the hardiest chemical compound, can
exist upon the sun because of the in
tense heat. Water-, if it could reach
the sun as steam, would be instantly
separated into its component gascn.
oxyo.n and hydrogen.
Of the suns outer planets, Nep
tune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter are
considered to be composed of gases,
of slight density. The theory of life
on these would be refected for that
reason alone. Their temperatures,
however, also would render them
unfit for life: that Neptune being es
timated at minus -100 degrees Fahr
enheit, Uranus, minus 3S0 degrees.
Saturn, minus 330, and Jupiter, min
us 270. Moreover, their derdty is
another factor; the density of Jup
iter, which is the greatest o fthe
four, is only 1.3 that of water.
As shown by its low reflecting
power, Mercury, Dr. Abbott declar
es, like the moon, is an airless, wat
er les-.s, waste, and being: besides bak
ed by a torrid heat, twelvefold that
of our cAvn nianet, there can be no
thought of life there.
The main 'requisites of life ait
light- certain inorganic salts, carbon
eorrtouiiids, .wa,t$r ,and warmth. Plant
and; !if . , requirements, ,(f light are
very elastic.': plants 'giktw and ani
mals thrive on earth where li'rht i.
a thousandfold ,less than daylight.
As to Mars the scientist declares,
thorough researches have shown the
less-" than one-fifth the water vapor
atmosphere of that body to contain
found on the summit of Mount Hamil
ton in the coldest, clearest winter-
months. The solar radiation received
on Mars is only six-tenths of that on
the earth, and, with no moisture
blanket in th atmsophere to conserve
the heat Mars' temperature is esti
mated to approximate 60 degress lift
low zero. Fahrenheit. Telescopic stu
dies reveal no clouds on Mars. Dr.
Abbot declares, in stating that he
cannot accept the views of these who
"claim great things for Mars."
It has been shown by other scient
ists, he Sciys, that descriptions of the
markings observed by many, differ
widely. As widely and contradictorily
as would be expected of descriptions
of the moon by persons who had nev
er observed our satellite without a
telscope. The Martian polar caps, he
believes, may be thin deposits of hoar
frost or frozen carbonic acid gas.
The light on Venus is 1.1 that of
the earth; spectroscopic observations
of star light and analysis of star ma
finals fallen upon the eavth. show
that the stars are composer! of exact
ly the same components as thp earth.
Therefore two conditions are fulfill
ed on Venus.
Water vapor and water eloudf? are
responsible for maintaining equable
temperatures; the Water vapor in
earth's atmosphere seem to be re
sponsible for maintaining our temp
erature fully 50 degrees F. above
what it would be notwithstanding
the absence of clouds, the isun shone
no more intensely on the earth. It
remains to be proved by scientists
that mositure conditions essential ta
life prevail on Venus.
The only obstacle to deciding for
ever the habitability of Venus is her
ever surrounding envelope of cloud.
There has never been absolute proof
