LODGE WILL OPPOSE
 SINKING HUN SHIPS
Republican A. p. Leased Wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1o.-Press dis patches from Paris saying that the American peace delegates, with British support. will urge the sinking Of the surrendered German warships as tho solution of the problem of their dispo- sition, led to initiation of steps today in the senate, to obtain an official statement of the facts, and to wide dis cussion in naval circles. At the state and navy departments, no information was available, Secretary Daniels re- beating his previous statement, that he had never heard the suggestion off, cially while at the state department it was said that so far as known, that no such project was included in the Amer ican peace program.
 The first published suggestion that the ships be sunk came from London several days ago, but even before tha :. 1t was learned, this had occurred b some naval authorities here as one DOS slble way of settling a vexing problem
 Admiral Benson, chief cf naval oper- ations, and designated as naval adviser to the American peace delegation, has ! been in Europe some time. His views. worked out with Vice Admiral Sims and officials of the British admiralty and the French ministry of marine, will  ! have great weight with the American 1 delegates on naval questions arising at 1 the conference, but there is nothing l here to indicate what conclusion he may have reached on the disposition | of the surrendered craft.
 Sinking is Opposed
 | There were many indications today | that proposal to sink the ships would meet strong opposition in congress. The Paris dispatch prompted Senator Lodge l to introduce today a resolution calling on the state department for inforna- tion as 10 whether the American dele 1 gates are advocating destruction of the enem yships, and if so by what author 1 ity. The resolution was left on the table without discussion. and Senator Lodge may touch on the subject in an address 1 he announced he would deliver in the senate Saturday.

President And King Cordial
Glad To Invite Mir. and Mrs. Wilso

Notwithstanding the unpleasant weather, with its squalls of cold rain and wind, chowds gathered along the route from the station to the embassy. to greet the fourth ruler who has visited France in the last fortnight. So dense were the crowds that thousands were unable to get a glimpse of the king and the heir apparent.
 The Italian colony was out in force. Tn the wondows of the Italians rest aurants, photographs of Victor Elm manuel were to be seen. Some of them bore placards saying:
 Let us salute our king, our demo- cratic king, who during four years lived at the front, the life of d soldier and was one of the makers of the voctory. He never obtained a fur tough except in time of ministerial crisis"
 Yanks Greet Italian
 Members of the American Expedit- ionary forces also participated in the welcome to Victor Emmanuel In heavy motor trucks, they lined the transverse streets, overlooking the route of the procession. In addition to soldiers. the trucks contained hun dreds of army nurses. All the Ameri- CStlS luSlilN lut passed and frequently there were shouts of "Nive Italy: Vive Le Roei." President Poincare rendered a lunch con tosthe king at the Elysee Palace.
 During the kings visit to the Murat mansion. in addition to inviting Presi- dent Wilson and Mrs. Wilson to visit Italy. he also extended the invitation to Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter ot the president.
 May Include Belgium It is thought that the president may try to crowd his visit to Belgium into the time preceding the conference. There is still much uncertainty whether the sessions of the Versailles conference will be open to the public or be secret. The American diplomats 1 however, seem quite eager to have ! them open, as far as possible. for many 1 reasons, among these the declaration 1 of President Wilson that the courses of diplomacy should proceed in the 1 open. Still it is said they are in accord with the president, that the discussions 1 cannot be conducted as freely in the l open as would be possible in the secret and quiet of the council chamber. The general opinion inclines to the

LONDON, Dec. 1S.-(Yia Montreal l The Times medical correspondent says that it seems reasonable to be- lieve that throughout the world about six million persons perished from in- fluenZa and pneumonia during the past three months.
 It has been estimated that the war caused the death of 20,0o0, 900 persons in four and a half years. Thus, the correspondent points out, influenza has proved itself five times deadlier than war, because in the same period. at it's epidemic rate. influenza would have killed 1Oo.0o0.0o0. Never, since the black death, has such a plague swept over the world, he says, adding that the need of a new survey of public health measures has never been more forcibly illustrated.

 Favor Letter to Spinners
 The officials of the department Of agriculture thoroughly favored send ing out promptly an official letter to spinners of cotton who might be in po- sition to use the Arizona Pima cotton, explaining the valuable points of this cotton, its steadily impoving qualities, and it's unusual degree of uniformity and length of fiber.
 Mir. Heard advised the committee that before he left Washington MT. Brand, chief of the bureau of markets, had approved form of letter which Pas to be sent out to hundreds of spinners at once, accompanied by valu- able information covering the history of this cotton, copies of the remarkable successful tests of it, which during the war had been made for the aircraft board, and which proved the excep- tional desirability of this cotton for use in making fine fabrics into which il k1 1g lRh 1 q mems shirting, women's dress goods etc.
 Fear Early lmportations
 It was found that the most serious difficulty in Washington confronting the American Egyptian cotton industry was the possibility of the early i'm portation of Egyptian cotton from Alexandria, Egypt, where it was found over 100000 bales had accumulated This question of import is at present under the control of the war trade board of which Vance c. Mccormick is chairman. Senator Ashurst and Mir Heard held an extended interview with Mir.

The strategic Importance of

the Paris-Laon railroad it is 65

an important center for grain
trade OF northern France. ard. was
especially noted for. its haricot
beans. Its most flourishing indus
tries were iron and copper fcun-
