DEMOCRATS OPPOSE CHILD LABOR TAXES
 ON LEGAL GROUNDS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S-Adoption of a committee amendment imposing a ten per cent tax on profits from child labor products entering interstate com merce. was the only action by.. the. senate today on the war revenue bill. The vote on the amendment was 50 to F, with democrats casting all the negative votes.
 Debate on this contested provision, and two hours unexpected discussion of other subjects, delayed progress on the bill, but leaders still hope for it's passage by next Monday with a view to securing an extended recess over the holidays. Tomorrow the senate plans to take up the amendment for repeal, next July l, of the existing zone sys- tenn of second class postage rates and substitution of a modified zone system. Several senators expect to deliver speeches on this subject.
 The child labor amendment, drafted jointly by Senators Pomerene of Ohio, Lenroot of Wisconsin and Kenyon of Iowa, is designated to replace the child labor law, declared unconstitutional by the supreme court. Senators Hardwiclx of Georgia and Overman of North Carolina led the fight on it and on the roll call these senators voted against it's adoption:
 Bankhead of Alabama, Beckham of Kentucky, Hardwick of Georgia, Martin of Kentucky, Overman of North Caro- | lima, Pollock of South Carolina, Sim mons of North Carolina, Smith of Georgia, Smith of South Carolina, Thomas of Colorado, Underwood of Alabama, and Williams of Mississippi.
 Has Wilson's Approval The amendment which will Un n 1 conference when the senate passes the revenue bill, is said to have President 1 Wilson's approval.
 Constitutional questions, principally were raised by senators speaking against the amendment They also l declared that its primary purpose is not to raise revenue, but to meet the i decision of the supreme court, in hold ing the former child labor act uncon- 1 stitutional.
 Advocates of the legislation, includ- ing it's authors, declared congress has the right to use its taxing power to dea. with other subjects and confidently predicted the amendment would be sus. tained by the supreme court
 As retained in the bill, the amend mept imposes the ten per cent tax or profits from products entering inter- state commerce from mines and quar- ries employing children under 16 years of age and from mills, factories anC similar industrial establishments em- ploying children under IA years, ol those between IA and 16, for more thar eight hours daily.
 An amendment to the postal zont section of the revenue bill was intro duced today by Senator McKellar O Tennessee. It provides for zone sys. tenn with the committees provision fol a rate of one cent pound for the frs 150 miles retained. In lieu of the rat, of F cents beyond that limit, tn, amendment provides for additiona zones, with a graduated increase il rates, the maximum being six cents pound for second class mail matte sent 1,S00 miles or more.

?. |. DEPARTMENT n
 TAKE ARMY PLANES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-The an- nual postoffice appropriation bill, car rying a total of $357 ,350,000, was passed late today by the house with an amendment requiring the postmaster general to use army aviators for mail airplanes instead of organizing a sep araate flying corps. This is the first of the 1920 supply measures to be passed by the house, and it now goes to the senate.
 Supporters of the amendment pro- viding that air mail planes shall be operated and maintained by the per sonnel of the army air service, under the direction of the postmaster gen. eral" argued that under this plan op- eration of the service would be less expensive and that at the same time opportunity would be given to train aviators for the ramy. Opponents con- tended that the division of authority between the postoffice and war depart ments would interfere with the sue cessful operation of the service.
 Other provisions of the bill direct that the secretary of war shall turn over immediately to the postoffice de- partment 200 airplanes for extension of the service. The machines specified include 100 De Haviland fours, 10( Handley- Pages and 10 Glenn Martin | bombers. One hundred and seventy ! engines also would be furnished the postoffice department.
 l Other amendments to the bill con- | tinue in effect wage increases of 15 tC 02 per cent granted last year to clerks in frs tand second class postoffices and carriers in cities. Provision alst is made for the creation of a com mittee of five senators and five rep. resentatives to recommend to the nex congress readiustment of the salarie! of all postal employees, including post masters.
 Legislation providing for an increas' of fifty per cent in the allowance t third class postmasters for the hire 0 clerks also is contained in the bill.

To Sink Enemy Ships

PARIS, Dec. 1S.-The American dele gates of the peace congress have re- solved to advocate the sinking of the surrendered enemy warships and re- sist any proposition to distribute them on the basis of naval losses. This an- nouncement is made by those in close touch with the America representatives who it is added, feel that such a posi- tion would result in avoiding conten tion and materially support President Wilson's declaration that the war was mot based on aggression or the acquisi- tion of property.
 England, through Sir Eric Geddes, first lord of the admiralty, had pre- viously acquiesced in the American plan to destroy the captured or surren- dered warships, and, it is declared, will continue to support the United States. although it is expected that some of the lesser naval powers will demand ! that the prizes be distributed.
 American naval stations will be maintained for at least year at Brest, Gibraltar and in the Azores, to render aid to American merchant ships. The consent of France. Eng land and Portugal has already been secured. The aero and radio stations

ALASKA NEXT PLACE
 GOVERNORS TO MEET
 IN SUMMER 0F 1918

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Dec. 1S.-War governors of the states, before adjourn ing their annual conferences tonight, inspected the new superdreadnaugh Mississippi, anchored in Chesapeake bay They made the trip to the big craft as guests of Secretary Daniels on the presidential yacht Mayflower. Earlier in the day the governors heard addresses by Mir. Daniels and Secre- tary Lane, who praised President Will son for going to Europe.
 At the suggestion of Governor Milli- ken of Maine, the executives agreed to discuss with their respective con gressional delegations the question of reimbursement by the federal govern ment of colleges and universities which suffered heavy loss by discontinuance of student army training courses. Many of the governors expressed dis appointment that social affairs on the program had prevented adequate dis cussion during the conference of prac- tical matters of state legislation and administration.
 Commenting on President Wilson's trip, Secretary Lane said:
 T have seen criticism of the presi- dent and so have you for going across Lllb WdLtE dI lLllS llIIe. l ne SplflL which animates him in going is the spirit of this new day. It is the spirit of giving your hand to your neighbor. It is the spirit that would make this war the end of all wars.
 Goes as Champion of Ideals
 "The man who stands as the repre- sentative of the foremost democracy of the world goes to Europe, not that he may march down the Champs Elysee, not that he may receive the plaudits of the French multitudes. But he gose to Europe as the champion of American ideals, because he wants to see that out of this war comes sOme- thing worth while. He would have been derelict, he would have been false to his own conscience and false to our ideas of him if he had not stood in Paris in person as the champion of that principle which we love and those institutions which we hope to see spread around the world.
 "To me, Woodrow Wilson in Paris | represents, not the ambitions of Ma poleon, striving to master the world by force, but the greater Pasteur, the healer of the nation, who comes to bring peace, happiness, and to secure gratitude from those whose lives and homes he makes secure"

French Prepare Plan

PARIS, Dec. 1S.-Senator Leon Bour- geois, president of the French society for a league of nations, and Count D'Stournelles de Constant. also a dele gate of the society, gave to The Asso- ciated Press today a brief account of a conference they had had with Premier Clemenceau. A draft of the complete plan for the constitution of such a league, they said, was submitted to the premier, upon which an exchange of views took place.
 The premier declared that the prin- ciple of a league of nations would not fail to be inscribed in the prelimina- ries of peace such as would be de- cided upon by the allies.
 M. Clemenceau agreed that the allies must resolve upon common plan of organization and he invited the dele ] gates of the society for league of na- I tions to confer with the members of similar societies in the allied countries, with view to preparing complete text which could give the governments concerned inspiration and ideas.

lmpresses 1t Upon All

In all his conferences the president has taken opportunity, to impress his views, it is said, by those who are au- thorized to speak for him, that no one nation is entitled to assume the role of master, or dictate the manner or the conditions of the representations of others
 There is some indication that con- siderable headway is being made in this direction, and that the members Of the American mission are now seeing their way clearly. All express the con- viction that delegates will enter the conference in spirit of accommoda- tion.
 Some undercurrents are interpreted as showing indications of regret be- cause the acceptance of President Will sons points, in a general way pre- EVeated some nations from achieving 1tneir own objects, which might have been gained if Germany's collapse had been made even more complete. In reply it has been made plain to those with whom the president conferred, that the United States government does not consider the war a victory of arms alone, and that victory should be incomplete without an organization of nations to guarantee world peace.

Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

PARIS, Dec. 1S.-After four days ot gathering views of leaders in France. President Wilson's closest advisers say he has seen no reason to change hif belief that the foundation of leagus of nations is inseparable from the ac- tual peace treaty itself.
 These advisers say that the presi- dent, in explaining his definition of "the freedom of the seas," will reassure Premier Lloyd George that he has no intention of demanding a reduction of the British navy, to a point involving the unsafety of the empire, but will emphasize his feeling that the plan of a league will strengthen the empire.
 King Victor Emmanuel, who is ex- pected to arrive on Thursday, already has been fully advised of the presidents S plans, through conferences with Count diCellere, Italian ambassador to the United States, but the president will take the opportunity to make personal explanations to the king, and also to make clear his friendliness toward Italy.
 The hope is expressed by those sur- rounding the president that the ex- changes of views will clear away any partial misunderstanding which may exist in regard to MT. Wilson's atti- tude, and prepare the way for the as semblage of the conference with com plexitieS removed, so that it will be ready to deal with principles and any outstanding differences of opinion that raroaiD
