TO Visit London Dec. 27.

Paris, Dec. 21.-The London Times

what, in his mind. was the great goal

replied: THE plain people of all ma
tions are now looking with anxious
expectation toward Versailles and am
sure they are asking themselves this
one question viii there be found
enough wisdom among the statesman
there assembled to create safeguards
against future wars?'"
Paris-''I am confident that the big
council of statesmen of the world will
be able to reach a just and reason
able solution of the problems that
will be presented to them, and thus
earn the gratitude of the world for the
most critical and necessary service
which has ever been rendered it," said
President Wilson in an interview, re-
ferring to the approaching peace con
ference.
The interview was given to the cor
respondent of the London Times In

contrasted the evils of the Vienna
congress with a hopeful outlook for
the Versailles congress.

Press copy of the interview, from
which the following extracts have
been made:
The congress of Vienna, the corrc-
spondent says President Wilson told
him, was congress of bosses" The
delegates were concerned more with
their own interests and the classes
they represented than the wishes of
their peoples.
Versailles. as President Wilson
said" the interviewer continues,
must be meeting place of the SER
wants of the peoples represented by
delegates, and, he added, there is no
lens of today.
"If there is anybody who thinks
he knows what is in the mind of all
peoples, that man is. a fool. We have
all got to put our heads together and
pool everything we have got for the
benefit of the ideals which are COM
mon to ALL
ASKED whether he would visit the
grand fleet. President Wilson replied
that he was afraid he would not have
time, adding that he fully realized
that behind the great armies there
was the strong, silent and watchful
support of the British navy in secur.
ing the Communications of the allies .
The correspondent declared that he
left the President with the assurance
ringing in my ears that he desired to
cooperate with the British and with
all the allies, in securing. with their
counsel, a new state of affairs
throughout the world"

 0f ''BONE DRY" CASE

Little Rock, Feb. 6.-It is probable that a motion will be made in supreme court for re-hearing of the case in which it was decided last Monday that it is not an offense under the "bone dry' act for person to bring liquors into the state for his personal use.
 City officials say that it will greatly increase their difficulties in the en- forcement of the prohibition laws, and will undoubtedly result in many more cases of boot-legging. ..
 Under the ruling of the court, li- quors may be brought into the state in hand-baggage, but not in trunks
 There is no restriction, however, on carrying liquor openly in any quanti- ties, and no officers have any right to interfere. If a person, however, should be caught selling. or attempting to. sell the liquor that would become an, of- fense punishable as felony under the statutes. ..
