OESIROYQtS WILL ARRIVE HERE ON .
FEB. 22 FOR A STAÏ OF FIVE DAYS
Officiel Itinerary from Washington Dispells Doubts That
Boats Will Be Here. It is lip to Organizations To
Provide Proper Entertainment for Them
According to advices received by
the Review from Washington, the
torpedo boat destroyers on recruit-.
ing duty will spend five days in
Morgan City arriving here from
New Orleans on February 22 and
departing for Port Arthur Texas on
February 27th.
It will be a month yet before the
boats arrive, but it is not too soon
for the Chamber of Commerce, the
City officials and other organi- j
zations as well as individuals to be
gin preparations for the proper en- j
tertainment of the visiting fleet. ;
This will be an opportunity to ad
vertise to the world the hospitality
of Morgan City.
Every city visited by the fleet
thus far has entertained the officers
and the men of the fleet in a social
way, and no doubt Morgan City
people will make the men remember
Morgan City for a long time.
Committees will be appointed in
the near future by the leading or
ganizations to formulate plans for
the proper entertainment of the
fleet, and arrange other details to
make for the comfort of the crews
while here.
One thing seems to be settled in
the minds of all who have been
heard to discuss the question, that
is, there is a crying need of
greater facilities for the care of the

Diversified Views Are Pres

Since the appearance of the ar
ticle discussing the school question,
which was published in The Review j son
on Friday, and the letter of a pat
ron in Saturday's issue, therè has ; tal
been considerable discussion of the
question heard on the streets. There
seems to be no unity of opinion and
it looks as if the matter would have
to be threshed out in a thorough
manner, touching on every possible i ing
phase of the situation. jbe

A prominent patron of the !
schools wrote to the Review on Sat- !
urday advocating the purchase of
the balance of the block on which the
the present school stands and the
erection of a handsome building tice
thereon. This caused the advocates j
of a school ward system to come ;
out with their arguments and at Not
tins time it seems that there are ;
many advocates of the ward school j

practical and possible to build two ; in

one central building would cost. ■ part.
They say that the present building ■
could then be used for a high-school has

and that this building is ideally ad- this
apted for a high-school which would in

**na.. ment
Another question that has been that
raised is whether or not it would sat
be a good plan to invite the Berwick
patrons to join with Morgan City in to
the issuance of bonds to build the a
proposed buildings. It is believed
that the Berwick patrons would
agree to this plan in view of the
fact that they are sending their
children to Morgan City schools and
getting all of the possible benefit of
the Morgan City schools on an equal
plan with Morgan City children.

SENArE AMAZED
AT THE PRESIDENT
Laying Bare Pis Idea Of Tbe

7.
Washington, D.
Boldly and frankly,
Jan. 22.—
President Wil
j son laid before the Senate of the
United States today the fundamen
; tal of a European peace which this
country considers essential, says the
American.
Clearly and forcefully he de
clared the right of ' the United
States to have a voice in determin
i ing the peace conditions which shall
jbe lasting "by the decrees of an
eternal covenant" through an inter
national league to enforce peace.
He laid down flatly the conditions
which both sides in the European
struggle must agree to if the United
; States it to become a party to the
! world agreement to prevent future
;wars.
! And he asserted that the United
! States cannot in honor withhold the
service of adding their power to
the authority and force of other
nations to guarantee peace and jus
tice throughout the world through a
j league of peace,
; It is an epoch making occasion,
Not since the foundation of the re
; public has a president of the United
j States in public statement declared
the right of this nation to be heard
; in the terms which will settle a war
j in which the country has no active
■ part.
■ Not since the days of Washington
has a president of the United States
laid before the foreign relations of
this government before the Senate
in open session,
Washington gasped with amaze
ment when the president announced
that he would make his statement,
sat in tense silence when he de
manded for this country the right
to determine what shall constitute
a lasting peace in Europe and to
night floundered helplessly in its ef
forts to appreciate the magnitude
of the step.
The United States found istelf
tonight an aggressive, vigorous
claimant for a place at the council
board which shall frame the terms
to end the European war and insure
future peace.
