ALLIES WILL
America to Take Part in Inter
national Conference Over
Future Rules for Aviation
Regulation.
Wilson Opposes
Sinking Of Ships
WASHINGTON, Dea. 23. It may
bs plated authoritatively that Pres
ident Wilson will apoae In the most
direct fashion proposals from anv
sourc to sink the warships sur
rerdTed by Germany under the
terms of the armistice.
flinre word came from Paris that
American delegates with British
support, intended to advooatu de
struction of the enemy vessels, the
subjor-t has been discussed with in
terest anion naval officers here.
Officials have professed to know
nothing about the attitude of the
president unttl today, when it was
learned that he viewed the plan aa
altogether undesirable.
PARIS, lire representatives of
.several allied powers and the United
t'tates will hold a conrerence In Paris
Mrly i' the New Year to discuss the
tuture of International aerial naviga
tion, the Echo de Parts announces.
cireat Britain, Italy, uelgluni. Franco
:md the United States will be repre
sented at the conference, which will
.-ctudy the questions of how to prevent
airplanes of different nationalities from
I'rosa'ng customs barriers and how to
prevent postal or commercial airplanes
irom being transformed into bombing
machines within a few minutes.
The result of the OeitoerKtlons of the
conference, the paper adds, will have
to be accepted by Germany and her
former allies In the peace -treaty.
President Wilson's conferences today
and tomorrow will virtually complete
the preliminaries he is expected to dis
pose of before going to England. Thev
probably will lay the principal part of
the sround work for the actual peace
conference,
Mr. 'Wilson considers tne most press
ing of all problems before the entente
i.ations in a fair way toward being
solved. This is the question of sup
plying food to the starving peoples of
liberated countries. It now seems
probable the work will be handled prin
cipally by the United states, through
Herbert C. Hoover, American food ad
ministrator. Participation by the United States in
various councils which have been hand
ling food questions, matters of ship
ping and the like Is being gradually
wound up, as American oIHclala are
i rending toward the njrtirloh that these
are proper subjects for the considera
tion of a league of nations or at least
of preliminary organizations which
may precede it.
Some of those who have been giving
the snbje.-t close study say they would
not hV surprised if the real iVundatioti
of a league of nations were to be laid
In co-opratlve arrangements between
tho United Slates and the allies for
handling these fundamental questions.
Mr. Wilson's address at Sorbonne
Saturday, in which he again defined
his conception of a league of nations,
attracted closest attention from all
public men here. This Is especially true
of his statement that the war could
never have occurred if the central pow
ers had discussed it for a fortnight, and
certainly not if they had been forced
to taU matters oer for more than a
year.
The president's address has recalled
that the United States, while William
Jennings Bryan was secretary of state,
negotiated a dozen arbitration treaties,
on of them with Great iirltaln. These
treaties bound their signatories to dis
cues their controversies for at least a
ear before proceeding to a declaration
of war. An attempt was made to ne
gotiate such a treaty with Germany,
but the Berlin government refused to
entertain it. It is also recalled the
same Idea was once expressed In a
plan for preserving peace put forward
by a group headed by Viscount .lames
Bryce, fermer British ambassador to
the United States.
There Is no official authority for the
e'atcntent that Mr. Vil?on is thinking
of the Bryan plan ns one of the ele
ments in the proposed machinery for
preserving world peace, but this ref
erence to the plan in his Sorbonne
speech has se; public men to talking.
No announcement has been made
as to how far the conferences between
Mr. Wilson, Premier riemeneeau. Pre
mier Orlando and Foreign Minister Son
nino have gone, but French public men
have declared their premier's talks with
the president were entirely satisfactory.
It is also believed that Mr. Wilson has
made substantia! progress In his con
ferences with iVaiian statesmen.

Tied Cross hospital at Neuilly, where

To the Good People of Shelby County
i ,
The Red Cross Christmas Roll Call is now almost a thing of
the past.
The "Greatest Mother of Them All" ha stretched out her won
derful arms and gently appealed to us. If we heard, we have heeded
but. little.
We should have rallied to her support 60,000 strong, whereas
less than 15,000 have heard the call less than 7 per cent.
There is little or no excuse that any of us can make for failing
to send in our dollar In payment for membership for tho year 1919.
The question we want to ask every man and woman in this
county (who has not already joined for 1919) is: Will rou permit
this signal neglect of your duty to reflect upon the fair name of
our community?
Shall we let it go forth that we of Shelhv county are so indif
ferent that we are willing to permit this to be our first failure?
If you are willing to do your part in preventing this humiliat

self and your family and send It in at once.

FIRST NECESSITY,

Questions Now Under De
bate, Such as League of Na
tions, Can Be Settled Later.
BY FRANK H. SIMONDS
The New Scimitar's Military Expert.
NEW YORK, Dec. L'S In the past
week there has been renewed, both In
Kurope and America, the debate as to
whether the first business of the peace
congress should be liquidating the past
war or reorganising future international
relations. There has been at all times
a considerable body 01 opinion favor
ing disposing of the war first, and as
the difficulties in the pathway of peace
continue to multiply and the probable
date of tho signing of tho definite
treaty of peace is postponed from April
to June this opinion is making itself
felt more powerfully.
The one sound precedent In the pres
ent situation, the eonfress at Vler.nt,
points unmistakably toward malting
peace before all else. When the allies
of 1811 had overthrown Napoleon end
Nepoleon had abdicated and set out for
t.lba, his conquerors within a brief time
made peace with France. It was a fair
and even rfenerous peace. France re
tained her frontiers of 1589 with certain
notable additions. The purpose of these
concessions to the conquered was to In
sure the retention of the throne by
Uouis XVIU., who had been placed 111
power by the allies. Had Franco been
mutilated or mulcted Louis could no!
have gept the thror.e. In fact, despite
these concessions, he lost It promptly
when Napoleon returned from Elba.
But, having settled the war, the al
lies with France now rcjcognined as an
equal, went to Vienna and then? made
the memorable agreement which kept
Europe in chains for more thin half a
century and perpetuated evils which
endured to the moment when Germany
was overthrown in the. current year.

the Tennecsee river we encountered a
ffc, rain and low, overhanging clouds.
V'e were making good headway, how
ever, until our englno becamo over
heated and the motor" stopped and we
were forced to descend. The only place
we could sen to land was a field and
we made a good landing, considering
the location. After considering the cir
cumstances we decided rr dissemble
the ship, sending it to Dig Sandy,
where we placed it aboard a flat car."
The two aviators left Nashville in
company with Liout. Smith and Sergt.
