Nov. ll.-President Wilson. speaking today at the mveir ing of a statue to General Phillip Kearney at Arlington National ceme- tery, declared that there is nothing noble or admirable in war in itself but there is something very noble and admirable occasionally in the causes for which war is undertaken, and there io something very noble and ad- mirab!e in some of these characters which war develops
 Speaking of the habit of General Keaney's soldiers of affectionately calling him Phil" the president said he had always been sorry he did not have a front name which admitted of shortening"
 Because of the lateness of special train bringing 300 civil war veterans from New ergcy for the mveiline ceremonies. President Wilson waited in the cold at the cemetery for more than an hour.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov 11--In an effort to adjust factional differences leaders of the National American Womans Suffrage Association, which will meet in annual convention here tomorrow, arranged a compromise list of officers representing the different factions and proposed the creation of a new office, president emeritus, to which it is proposed to elect Dr. Anna Howard Shaw. the present presiding officer.

 The position of first vice president was left open, but if the compromise is successful it is said an effort will be made to induce Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout of Chicago, president Of the Illinois Equal Suffrage League 10 ac- cept it.
 The first regular session of the convention will be held tomorrow morning, when the delegates will be welcomed by Governor Ben w.. Hooper and Mayor Hillary E. Howse. Response will be made by Mrs Gro zier French, president of the state or ganization, and Mrs, Guilford Dudley on behalf of the Nashville Equal Sui frage League.
