BUY YOUR WAR STAMPS.
Signing Pledges No Account Until
Stamps Are Actually Purchased.

Buy your war savings stamps at the
postofice or bank. DO not wait Tor
some one to bring them to you. Your
money is not in the war, nor does 1t
earn interest for you until it is paid
over to some government agent who is
authorized to sell war savings stamps.
OF course, the mail carrier will bring
stamps to you and collect for them il
you tell him to do SO, but he is no
mind reader.
Marshall county got late start and
needs to buy $4,000 more before May
l to bring its sales up to date. Those
who failed to buy bonds should double
on the stamps, and those who are in
the automobile class as to income
should buy more than their quotas Of
each. D. w. Norris, chairman war

PARTISAN ATTACK IN U. S.
SENATE STARTS WRANGLE
Stone Assais RooseveIt-Lodge and
Penrose Resent Charges Against
Republicans.

Washington, Jan. 22.-The Repub-
lican and Democratic leaders clashed
their steel points in the senate in the
first and fiercest debate of the war
Stone Of Missouri precipitated the
conflict. He struck the first blow in a
carefully prepared speech of great bit
terness and yigOr assailing Roosevelt
as the idol and spokesman of a con-
spiracy to discredit the administration
and seize the government at the next
congressional election. He also ac-
cused many if not all'' the Republican
senators with abetting the conspiracy
and singled out Senator PenrOse as an
example.
Senator Stone centered his attack
upon Colonel Roosevelt whom he
called "my star Witness"
"Of all men," he said, Roosevelt is
the most responsible for what he de-
nounces. He does his work cunningly.
In the front of his propaganda he

madness, [ don't KNOWS the most

Senator Stone also assailed Senator
BOieS PenrOse of Pennsylvania and
Chairman William r. Wilcox of the
Republican national committee, whom
he accused of leading the Republican
assault upon the war administration.
Republican leaders in and out Of
politics are undoubtedly seeking to
make politics out of the war. There
is to be an election next fall"
Senator Stone declared that the res
olutions calling for the numerous con-
gressional investigations into the con-
duct of the war came almost exclusive
ly from the Republican side.
Senator Lodge of Massachusetts de-
nounced Senator Stones speech as "dis-
tinctly political" He pointed out that
the Republicans Of the house and SEN
ate had voted for all important war
measures, several Of which would have
failed without Republican support.
Senator Penrose took the floor and
declared that he was surprised that
Senator Stone had no greater indict-
ment against him.
Senator Stone vigorously de-
nounced the sending of Colonel House
to the Paris conference.
Penrose attacked the fuel admins

Spanish Premier Goes
To Confer With Wilson
Effort to Have President Visit
Spain ON Pleasure
Trip Fails

MADRID, Dec. 19,-Count Romano
mes. the Spanish Premier is on his way
to Paris for a conference with Presi-
dent Wilson and representatives of
the Allies. He left Madrid for the
French capital last night. The party
arranged to accompany him included
Robert M. Scotten, secretary of the
American Embassy, and Senors Pa
acio and Espinosa. ugh oficials of the
Foreign Office. During his absence
Amalie Jimeno. Minister Of the Interior,
will act as Premier. Count homa Oh S
is expected to be away from Madrid
for at least five or six days.
When it became known that Presi-
dent Wilson was coming to Europe
King Alfonso and members of the
Cabinet approached Joseph E. Willard,
American Ambassador, to see if it
could be arranged for Mr.. Wilson to
come to Spain. This was not so much
for political object as it was to show
him the spot from which Colum bus
sailed to discover the New World. The
result of the negotiations was that Mr.
Wilson could not come to Spain, but
would be glad to discuss future rela-
tions between Spain and the United
States with Count Romanones. News
of the latter's intention to go to Paris
has created most excellent impress ion
throughout Spain, and opinion is gen.
orally expressed that it will strengthen
the friendly relations between the
United States and Spain.

first step last night at his conference
with the other American delegates. II
was decided and later announced that
the delegates would see American
newspaper correspondents each morn
ing for frank discussion of develop
ments and the proceedings of the con-
ferences.
To See Reporters Daily
The first of these meetings WAS held
to-day. Only American correspondents
we're admitted. 1t was stipulated that
none of the announcements was to be
published, being only for the guidance
of the CORES spondents.
1t is thought that the President may
try to crowd his visit to Belgium into
the time preceding the conference.
There still is much uncertainty
whether the sessions of the Versailles
conference Will be open to the public or
be secret. The American diplomats,
however, seem quite eager TO have
them open, as far as possible for many
reasons. among these the declaration
of President Wilson that the course OF
diplomacy should proceed in the open.
Still, it is said they are in accord with
the President that the discussions can
not be conducted as freely in the open
as would be possible in the secret and
quiet of the council chamber
Nav Follow Senate rlan
The general opinion inclnes to the
modelled after the procedure of the
United States Senate, where the
Foreign Relations Committee con-
siders international affairs secretly
and later reports to the whole body.
1t is assorted that President Will
son still holds TO the view that it
would be preferable for him not to
sit at the peace table. This preference,
it was said to-day. is connected in q
measure with divergence of opinion
among the Entente missions as TO the
number of persons who should repre-
sent each of the nations. 1t is under
for FIVE members from each nation,
and in addition is considering the
claims of her own colonies for repre-
sentation.
The date of the first meeting Of the
lnter-A lied Conference has not been
determined nor has the date of the
first assembling Of the peace congress
1t has not been determined whether the
actual sessions will be open.
President wilson's inc 'ination is said
to be that the sessions be open as far
ss is possb e. but it is expected that
II will develop that much of the work
will be done confidentially and then
perfected openly.
1t seems probable that German rep
resentatives will not figure in the pre-
liminaries, and until these are disposed
of it cannot be decided whe ther the
neutra's will be invited to discuss the
subject of League of Nations. The
