WILSON HOLDS AN AGE
RECORD
Is the Oldest Executive Since
Buchanan in 1857.

Washington, Jan. 20.--Presi-
dent Wilson is the oldest cXecu-
tive of the United States for the
last sixty. years. When he is in
auguratcd for the second time
March 5 he will be go years old,
a span of years that no President
has crossed since the inauguration
of buchanan in 1857.
incidentally, the President is
one of the six oldest executives
ever in the White House. Is Pre-
viOus to 1861 the men chosen to
hold the reins of government gen
orally reached a late period in
life before their election. John
Adams was 81 when inauguratcd
in 1897 Jackson also was 81 when
first inauguratcd in 1929. Ben
jamin Harrison was the Oldest
man ever chosen for the presiden-
cy. being GS at the time of his in
auguration in 1871. Taylor was
g. and Buchanan 65 respectively
when they were inaugurated.
Aside from these, all Presidents
have been younger men than
Woodrow Wilson when entering
the White House. This has been
particularly I1otieea', in the Ia st
fifty years, when all have been
comparatively young. Theodore
Roosevelt was the youngest Pres
idcnt ever. inaugurated in this
country. being ~ when he took
office.

ANTI-VICE LAW
FOR COLUMBIA
Spirited Passages During Discussion
Before City Council.

Columbia, July 24.-The resolution
ment or maintaining within the city
Of Columbia Of any house Of i'll fame
prostitution or assignation, and to
prevent and suppress all prostitution
within the limits of said city, intro
luccd by this before city council June
rs, by Councilman DuPre- and which
passed second reading Tuesday, July
10, was adopted as an ordinance at the
regular meeting Of city council this
morning.
Much debate, some Of which was
quite heated, was indulgcd in by Ash
ley G. Tobias, Jr., Columbia attor-
ney, who opposed the passage of the
ordinance, and f. H. McMaster, State
insurance commissioner; Alan John
stone, Jr., representing the Civic Lea
que, and others, who advocated the
immediate passage Of the ordinance.
Ny McMastcr made quite an attack
on Major Gen. Leonard Wood, CON-
mandcr Of the Southeastern Depart
ment. The attack was actuated by a
letter from Gen. Wood, in reply to
one written by Mayor Griffith, ask
ing Gen Woods views upon the re-
tcntion or elimination of the vice dis
trict. Gen. Wood wrote that he
thought "the safest way and the one
which is most practicable, is to scgre-
gate these women, stop the sale Of
liquor and gambling in the district,
flood it with light and prohibit the
entrance into it of men in uniform.
also keep it under the most rigid
medical supervision"

The German announcement indi-
Gates that in all likelihood the ex-
pected British offensive is at hand.
Several times recently Berlin has re-
ported heavy artillery fighting in
Flanders and the intensity of today's
bombardment probably denotes the
last stage Of preparations before the
blow is struck. It has been predicted
that the next attack of the British
would surpass any effort previously
made by them. The opening of the
offensive may be FASTENED to assist
the hard pressed Russians.

DRAFT LISTS MAILED OUT
Upon Receiving Them Boards Will
Summon Men.

Washington, July 24.-With the
master lists Of Fridays conscription
drawing in the mail for distribution to
the local boards, the task of as
sembling the national army of half
million had passed out of the hands of
the Federal Government tonight and
into those of the civilian authorities
who will notify the men drawn and
pass on exemptions.
AS soon as the lists arc received,
each board will summon for physical
examination double the number of
men in the district quota. If more
are needed the authorities will keep
on calling until the quota is filled.
The final list shows only few
errors in the official report Of the
drawing already transmitted through
out the country by the press. Includ-
ing all the adjustments found neccs-
sary in correcting the official list to
make up for numbers that were read
upside down, or were misread, and
also errors in transcription in the rush
of the drawing and the haste to get
the figures to the wires, there are less
than two score variations between the
list compiled by the Associated Press
and the master sheet.
The surprise of the official record is
the fact that the missing number in
dicated by the drawing of blank
as serial number 5,794. 1t was placed
last in the master sheet and becomes
liability number 10000. No. 2,780
lrawn as number 10,498 was found to
be duplicated and was stricken out.

CONGRESSMAN Mann
BLOCKS FOOD BILL
Partisan Fight Likely Over Proposal
for Commission on War
Expenditures.
G. o. p. CALLS IN ABSENTEES
Democrats Prepared to Use Special
Rule and Force Bill to
Conference.

Washington, July 24.-rhe admin
istration's program of food legislation
encountered another delay today when
Republican Leader Mann blocked
plans to hurry the food control bill
to conference. The proposal to create
joint commission Of Congress on
expenditures of the war, written into
the bill in the Senate and objected to
by President Wilson as signifying a
lack of confidence in him, was the fea-
cure which started the trouble. The
Republican leader rallied many men,
bers of his party about him and to-
night the situation had taken on the
aspect of a partisan fight virtually
for the first time since the war scs-
sion met.
Threaten Special Rule.
Administration leaders, despairing
of sending the bill to conference un-
der unanimous consent agreement, are
prepared to bring in special rule
tomor1 ow under which they expect to
force conference and in addition to
instruct the confcrees to disagree to
all Senate amendments. Taking the
administration managers by surprise,
Mr.. Mann served notice when the bill
came up today that he would not give
the unanimous consent for the bill to
go to conference unless separate
vote was permitted on the war COM
mittee proposal. A hasty canvess of
those present convinced the admins
tration men that they could not be
certain of majority against the pro-
posal for the amendment and adjourn
ment was taken. Unanimous consent
again will be asked tomorrow before
the special rule is invoked, but the
Republican leaders have summoned
the entire membership here for a vote
and partisan division seems certain.

Letter to Goethals.
President Wilson's letter to Gen.
Goethals follows:
"Your letter of July 20 does you
great honor. (This was the generals
letter of resignation). It is conceiv-
ed in a fine spirit of public duty such
as l have learned to expect of you.
This is, as you say, case where the
service of the public is the only thing
to be considered. Personal feelings
and personal preferences must be re-
solutely set aside, and we must do
the thing that is most serviceable.
'It is with that thought in mind
that I feel constrained to say that l
think that you have interpreted your
duty rightly.
"No impartial determination Of the
questions at issue can now set the

further administration of the pro-
gram. The shipbuiding is, happily,
in large part begun and can ,a$s |cac
be pushed to completion if the air be
cleared Of the debates that have I'M
fortunately darkencd it.
"With deep appreciation therefore
Of your generous attitude and with
genuine admiration Of what you have
been able in short time to accom-
plish, accept your resignation and
feel that in doing so am acting upon
your best judgment as we'll as my
own. | hope that you will feel the
same undoubting confidence that I
feel that the people of the country,
for whom you have rendered great
service, will Judge you Justly and gen
erously in this as in other things, and
that all personal MISUNDERSTANDING
and misjudgments that nave been Gre
ated will pass in short time entirely

THE PEACE PROPOSAL

Conferences among the entente dip
lomats today crystalized into convic-
ton the opinion that Pope Benedicts
peace move is not likely to change
in any substantial degree the attitude
either of the allies or the American
Government. 1t is agreed however,
that there must be made response
to the Popes proposal for more com
prehensive than a mere acknowledge
ment of receipt To do this without
opening the field or argument which
might result in developing differences
between the allies to be seized upon
by the Germans is realized to be a
difficult and delicate undertaking. On
the other hand some consideration
is being given to the suggestion that
the Pontiff has given President Will
son a golden opportunity to again
impress upon the American people
and the world in the most convincing
fashion the rectitude of his position
in recommending to Congress the dec
laration of a state of war with Ger
many.

The working people are getting
pretty tired or reading such trash
about how much they should save and
how cheaply they can live, when they
have all they can do to get along, es-
pecially when such unselfish advice
comes from some one who is some
body's landlord, and on TOP Of it he
raises the rent; or when it comes from
some one who has hand It the price
of food products, shoes, clothing Goa!
ice milk and any other necessity. and
then Immediately sets to work to boost
the price couple of cents or dollars
as the case may be. Such people
should be placed in the front row OF
trenches to harass the enemy, and not
the people here at home, who have
enough to think about.
