In organization there is power-Think
of ten million being wrapped up In

report says that Colored organizers
have been among these women and
other workers of this town and that
they demand that the wash women

People also report that it is prac-

the Colored help is so organized and
demand so much that when a person
can get any help the price Is pro-

matter.
Several ladies are investigating the

WILSON IN ADDRESS TLEADS
FOB UNCHANGED TREATY AND
COVENANT AS PEACE IS SIGN.
ED.
Washington July 3. President Wil-
son in an address to the American
people on the occasion of the slgn-
tag of the"" peace treaty made a
plea for acceptance of the treaty and
the covenant of the League of Na-
tions without change or reservation.
His message given out here by Sec-
retary Tumulty said:
My Fellow country men: The Treaty
of Peace has been signed. It As
ratified and acted upon in full and
sincere execution of its terms. It will
furnish the charter for a new order
of affairs In the world. It is a se-
vere treaty in the duties and penal
ties it imposed upon Germany but
it is severe only because great wrongs
done by Germany are to be -righted
and repaired; It imposes nothing
that Germany cannot do;' and she
can regain her rightful standing in
the world by the prompt and honor
able fullfilment if its terms.
And it is much more than a treaty
of peace with Germany. It liberates
great peoples who have never before
been able to And the way to liberty.
It ends once for all an old and
Intolerable order under which small
groups of selflBh men could use the
peoples of great empires to serve
their ambition for power and domin
ion. It associates the free goven
ments of the world in a permanent
league in which they are pledged to
use their united power to maintain
peacs by maintaining right and ju"-
ttce. It makes international law a
reality supported by imperative sane- i
ttons. It does away with the right of the country by the president soon
of -conquest and rejects the policy I after he has laid the treaty before -of
annexation and substitutes a new the Senate. Whilo the itenerary and
order and which backward nrtlons-r-1 other 'letalls have not been made
populations which have not yet come known it is understood the president
to p llttcal consciousness and peoples
who are ready for independence b'lt
) not yet quite prepared to dispense
with protection and guidance shall
no more be subjected to the domina-
tion and exploitation of a stronger
nation but shall be nut under the
friendly direction and afforded the
helnful assistance of governments
which undertake to be responsible
to the opinion of mankind In tb'j
execution of their task by accepting
the direction of the League -of Na-
tions. It recognizes the inalienable
rights of nationality; the rights or
minorities and the sanctity of re-
ligious' belief and rractlce. It lays
the basis for conventions which shall
free the commercial industries of the
world from unjust and vexations re
strictions and for everv sort of in
. tflrnatonal co-operation that will serve

It Is for this reason that I have

Signing ot Peace Treaty For-
mally Closes Great World's
War.
Although technical teimlnatlon of
the war will cons to each nation
only when the treaty Is approved by
the ratifying power of tho nation to
even can get a wash woman for any
sort of price the service is so poor
that it is little better than none at
all. '
It is reported that new demands
of the wash women will be a min-
imum price of $2.00 and further that
the clothes must be taken to the
wash women when you want your
clothes you must go and get them.
Just how far they will go witn
this program Is not known but it
is asserted by some that they will
not get far from this situation now
as for Instance If yon want to et
your clothes before the season and
style change you simply have to go
after them.
If the matter goes on as it seems
to be going there will be a good .de-
mand for electric washing machines
and all other kinds of washing ma-
chines so say the reports
. Marion County . News.
all Intents and purposes the conflict
that began in August 1914 will end
when in the historic Hall of Mirrors
the aocredltate peace commissioners '
of the allied and associated powers
and of Germany affix their signatures
to the ' treaty. Likewise will be
brought to an end the armistice
granted Germany last November 11 .
and also the period of uncertainty
and doubt as to the final outcome of
the peace negotiations.
nork of Conference Ended.
With the signing of the treaty the
work of the Peace Conference proper.
in so far as concerning ne gations
with Germany is brought t a con-
clusion afver more than Ave -nmatha
of conferences. Portions of tie treaty
with Austria yet remain tn be com
pleted and negotiations with Turkey
and Bulgaria still must be conducted
but as to Germany chief of the en-
emy powers only the carrying out
through the long series of ears of
the provisions of the treaty will re-
main. The ceremony planned for today
at Versailles which though simple
was expected to be one of the most
impressive of its kind In history
also brings to an end the work of
President Wilson In Pvrls as head
of the American Peace Mission and
in signing the treaty as such becomes
the first president of the United States
to sign a treaty as a negotiator.
Senator fow Center of Interest.
With the departure from Paris to-
night President Wilson preparatory
to sail ir g tomorrow from Brest on
the George Washington the center of
interest as regards the treaty shifts
to the Senate ratification If which
