SUPREME COURT /.
DECLARES AUTO
STATUTE VALID
Hands Down Decision To
day Sustaining Former
Rulings.

A message was received from Bis
mArck shortly after 8 O'Clock this
afternoon to the effect. that the SUI
preme court today handed down a
decision sustaining its former rulings
in the automobile registration test
suit rehearing growing out OF the ac-
ton OF Grand Forks, Bismarck and
the legality Of the law. The decision
of the court means, in effect. that the
statute which provides that automo-
.biles are taken from the assessment
lists of the cities. is valid.
The attention Of the Grand Forks
city council was called to this mat
ter at a meeting held March 1, 1918,
when Alderman j. NJ. Gillette read a
letter from City Attorney Geo. A.
Bangs in regard to the motor We
hicle registration law. stating that,
from the city assessment list all
and motor vehicles
formally classified as personal prop
erty. The loss in assessment would
thus amount to approximately $780,
900. it was said, and might even go
as high al 100000. +
Mr.. Bangs had informed the ways
and means committee that he had re-
ceived a letter from the city attorney
Of Joint litigation to test its validity.
During the discussion in the coun-
Gil it was brought out that the law,
from a strictly legal point of view,
was considered void because Of it's

RED CROSS NEEDS MONEY
Statement That Winter Funds We're
Sufficient, Erroneous.
bal saturday,s issue of rhe Heral

y In Saturdays issue Of The Herald
1t was enormously said that the
Grand Forks county chapter OF the
American Red Cross had sufficient
funds for its winter work. This
wrong impression was given through
the heading over the monthly
statement of the chapter while, as
a matter Of fact, the Red Cross here
needs more money than ever before.
The monthly statement. made by
w. H. Shulze shows a surplus for the
first time. and this money has been
put aside to meet the expenses of the
winter. The coming winter will be
the hardest and costliest the Red
Cross has faced. Civilian relief work
is to be done, and this. OF curse.
necessitates unusually big funds. So
that the Red Cross is far from having
enough money to carry on the fall
and winter work. ~

President to Confer
With Allied Premiers
On Peace Problems

ON BOARD THE U. S. S. GEORGE
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 (By Wireless
to The Associated Press).-President
Wilson learned to-day by wireless from
Colonel Edward NJ. House that the
plans of the French government con-
template the peace conference getting
down to its sessions prior to January
3, and he at once began arranging his
plans so as to utilize the Intervening
time to clear up his visits to the bat
tlefront. the American troops and italy
and other functions, in order to leave
his time entirely free when the con.
ference begins.
Virtually all of next week has been
reserved by President Wilson for con-
ferences, at which he will emphasize
the idea that league of nations must
necessarily be part of the peace treaties
and is not a subject for separate ac-
ton.
In the meantime, he will have infor-
NAL conferences with Premier LLOYD
George, of Great Britain; Premier Gle
menceau, of France; Premier Orlando,
of Italy. and Others, 10 smooth out
any points of difference which NAV
arise between the United States and
the Allies with regard to the ground
work of the conference.
The President is planning TO aroia
vigorously all functions not ncce-sas-
