"Millie" Lothrop, Heroic Homer Phone Operator,
Neighborly Woman Who Does Many Duties Well
Five Stalwart Sons Revere
Mother Who Saved
Many Lives at Risk
Of Her Own.
By J. T. ARMSTRONG.
"Millie" Lothrop is the neighborly
kind of a woman' who brings on a
bowl of steaming broth when one
Is ill. v .
And she's the sort of person who
raps at one's back door and presents
the most delicious pies and cakes,
when one i well.
For the last nine years Mrs.
Lothrop has been tfoinfi just that
sort of thing. .In addition she has
been raising five stalwart sons and
running a telephone switchboard.
Running a switchboard in a small
town rs rather a task, too. One must
use generalship and diplomacy; .one
must know what picture is being
shown at the local movie theater;
one must know whether or not there
is to be a Christmas tree celebration
at the Methodist church, and one
most warn the "phone subscribers"
of impending floods.
Receives Reward.
Mrs. Lothrop knew and did all
these things; the latter almost cost
her life. Sunday she received
her reward. She was chosen from
several hundred thousand telephone
workers as being the most worthy
of receiving the Vail gold medal for
heroic service".
She received it Sunday, and a
$1,000 check as well. But that's
only a small part of the story.
J.0 begin with .1 nomas Ashtord,
mayor of Homer, proclaimed that
all business houses should be closed
for the day. When the mayor of
one's home town declares a holi
day for one, it's rather a large oc
casion, now isn't it?
But when the big men of the
town put on their blue serge suits
and wear carnations in their but
tonholes for one, why well, it's
simply a stupendous occasion 1
Members of the Progress club of
Homer, composed of the most
prominent citizens, did this very
thing for Mrs. Lothrop Sunday.
Moreover, they served as ushersat
the hall where the presentation
ceremonies took place.
Notables Present.
Then one must not overlook the
presence of Governor McKelvie and
W. B. T. Belt, president of the
Northwestern Bell Telephone com
pany, and a list of other officials too
numerous to mention, but . which
ncludes H. G. Taylor, chairman of
the state railway commission.
Of course, it was rather dimcult
for Mrs. Lothrop to get away from
her switchboard long enough to at
tend the ceremonies. Most of the
farmers for' miles around were in
town to honor her, but there might
be a few still at home who would
want service, you know,
i-foweve'r,' this, was arranged at the
Lloyd George and
Briand Confer on
Reparations Issue
Supreme Council Meeting Is
Not Expected Attitude on
Germany Not Made
Public.
(By The Associated Press.)
London, Deo. 19. Premiers
Lloyd George of Great Britain
and M. Briand of France today
had a conference lasting sev
eral hours, discussing almost ex
clusively German reparations and
Germany's plea that it will be un
able to pay in full the January and
February installments.
No official information is obtain
able as yet as to the attitude of
France and Great Britain towards
Germany's plea. The official com
munique asserted that the conversa
tion, will be on general economic
questions. These questions were
given over to French and British
experts who will submit a report to
morrow.
As far as can be seen now there
is no prospect that a meeting of the!
supreme council win iomow me in
formal conversations, but possibly
one outcome will be an economic
conference on the variations of Eu
ropean exchanges to which German
and Russian representatives presum
ably would be invited. The belief
is expressed that Dr. Walter Rath
enau, the German financial expert,
may be called in after the present
conversations. ,
M. Briand declared his conversa
tions with Lloyd George had been
extremely cordial The conversa
tion will continue tomorrow. There
also will be a meeting between Louis
P. Loucheur, French minister of
liberated regions, and Sir Robert S.
Home, chancellor of the exchequer,
regarding reparations.

Her five sons also attended. Mel

more: he told the world what a
wonderful mother he really has.

"She could take a prize anywhere,

(Continued From Fas One.).
a question of the lives and fdrtunes
of the, people of Ireland and he was
not going to hide from the Irish
people what President' De Valera's
alternative proposal would mean.
Withdrawal of Military.
"Not once did we demand recog
nition of the Irish republic, knowing
it would have been impossible, to
secure it" he said, referring to the
London agreement. ; ';
He read a letter Which had been
received from Prime Minister Lloyd
George early in the negotiations say
ing the government proposed making
Ireland co-equal with the . other
British dominions and to secure for
Ireland a place in the league of na
tions. The letter also promised the
withdrawal of the naval and military
forces from Ireland when the agree
ment was ratified.
Mr. Griffith said the oath of al
legiance agreed upon was one "which
any Irishman can take with' honor."
.Hearty applause was given him
as he resumed his seat.
President De Valera then rose to
move the rejection of the treaty.
"I am against this treaty because
it will1 not end the conflict between
Great Britain and Ireland," he de
clared. "I am against the treaty be
cause I am for peace, not war."
Mr. De Valera vigorously de
nounced the treaty as "subverting
the public." He dwelt at length
upon the allegiance feature of the
document, inveighing in impassioned
tones against what he declared
would be the ignominy of the Irish
people taking the oath of allegiance
to the British king. He paid tribute,
however, to the delegates who
signed the pact, saying what they
did "was in their excess of love for
Ireland."
Continues Argument
Mr. De Valera, continuing his
argument for rejection, declared:
"If King George came over to
open the Irish Parliament you would
see black flags in the streets of
Dublin."
He likened the treaty to the act
of union, declaring it would lead to
endless strife.
Summing up, he asserted the
treaty was entirely inconsistent with
Ireland's position and that if it were
ratified Ireland would continue sub
servient to England.
Cries of "no" from supporters of
the treaty followed this declaration.
Austin Stack seconded President
De Valera's motion saying he stood
for "complete independence and
nothing short of it"
H Motion Seconded.
Count Plunkett also spoke in sup
port of the motion for rejection.
During his address President De
Valera said if a provisional govern
ment were set up by Griffith and
Collins in Dublin castie it would be
regarded by the people as a -usurpation.
They had been chosen by Brit
ish power as the authority in Ireland,
he declared.
Mr. De Valera said this was the
moment when a "grand peace" was
possible and under it King George
would come to Dublin.
Cries of "No, no," from his sup
porters. He meant, lie said, as the presi
dents of America or France should
come as the heads of friendly states.
sons. Left to right, the five boys
The picture was taken Sunday at
'hat's my brother Donald, to ring
the town fire bell."
Residents of Homer and the vi
cinity share Everett's enthusiasm for
the little mother. A farmer drove into
Homer early Sunday afternoon
and stepped out of his car.
"Do you know this Mrs. Loth
rop?" he was asked.
Own Story.
The fanner replied: "Yes I "know
her. She saved my life and the rest
of my family by 'phoning us about
the flood."
Mrs. Lothrop has received since
the flood presents of large quantities
of farm products; milk, butter, eggs
and potatoes.
Her own story of the flood and her
part in it she told without false mod
esty. Bue she neglected to mention
that she did not have time to dress,
that when her switchboard finally
was destroyed by the rushing water
she was forced to half swim through
water up to her breast to reach a
place of safety.
There were loud cries- of "no"
when Mr. De Valera said the Irish
army would be his majesty's army
and the Irish ministers his majesty's
ministers.
Mr. De Valera concluded by say
ing that the signers of the treaty, as
far as they could, had tried to do
what Parnell refused to do set
boundaries to the march of the na
tion. This statement evoked cheers.
Arthur Griffith in the course of
his speech opening debate on ratifi
cation said the- point- in) dispute was
with regard to the recognition ' of
the king. Those on the other side
were prepared to recognize the king
as head of the British common
wealth. The alternative proposals
to. the treaty meant that Ireland
would be half in and half out of
the British empire whereas under
the treaty, the Irish would go in
with heads up. That was the main
difference and he would not sacri
fice a single young Irish man for
it.
. Control of Purse.
Mr. Griffith said this was the first
treaty signed between England and
Ireland as equals since the year 1172
and it recognized the Irish free stale,
the Irish army and Irish control
of the purse.
Mr. Griffith said if the treaty were
rejected and Ireland went to war
again she would be fighting against
the world. He declared the Irish
plenipotentiaries went to London tc
perform as difficult a task as could
be placed on the shoulders of man.
(Cheers). Other men were asked
to go to London but they had re
fused. l
"We went," he continued, "and
brought back a treaty which safe
guards the interests of Ireland by
that treaty I'm going to stand, and
everyone behind us with a scrap of
honor is going to stand by it."
