PARIs, Dec. 23.-President Wilson's
visit yesterday to the American base
hospital at Neuilly was the prelude
to his Christmas day trip to the
troops at field headquarters, where q
speech of great Importance is antici-
pated.
1t is now known that the confer
ences between President Wilson and
the allied Premiers will begin in the
second week of January. Some Of
the French newspapers are raising
the question whether the political
issues at home will permit the Presi-
dent to remain in France for these
conferences. These newspapers call
attention to the Republican agita-
tions.
But according to present plans the
President intends to participate in
the conferences and, by common
agreement, will sit at the head of the
table.
Has Gained in influence.
The President is going to England
at the most important stage of the
preliminary meetings. There is q gen.
eral feeling that he Is more i'm.
portant figure now than when he ar
rived in Europe. The assurances
given to him by the French and Ital.
ian Premiers and the continued mani
festationS of the people everywhere
have added to his prestige greatly.
That the President is popular was
strikingly emphasized at the Sor-
honne reception, where, before $50
yellow and red robed savants, the
dean saluted him as "Wllsou the
Just"
This appellation has been taken
up in the French press and public,
thus undoubtedly fortifying the Presi-
dent on the eve Of his trip to Eng
land.
Uncertain About Lloyd George.
In the preliminary conferences
with the British the Americans are
counting on the support of MIR. Bonar
Law, Chancellor of the EXchequer,
and Arthur Balfour, the British For
eign Secretary. but they appear to be
uncertain about Mr.. Lloyd George.
The British and American naval
policies are now coming in for great
deal of interest. In the view of the
Presidents friends navulism can be
as great menace AS milltariSm, vet
they hold that America Is entitled to
bring her fleet up to the limit imposed
by the British fleet. The British nat
urally are unsympathetic with this
view and are advancing the argument
that the size of the respective fleets
should be determined by the amount
of coast lines to be defended. This
would give Britain the larger navy.
1t Is emphatIcaly denied that
President Wilson has taken posi-.
ton in favor of destroying the Ger.
man fleet. The cabled report that
| the American commission would sup.
port such plan was based merely
on the opinion of some naval advisers
who hold that any equitable dlstribu.
tion of the ships is impossible. This
view Is now indorsed by the commits.
sioners with whom l have talked
They hold 1t would be a useless de,
struction of property.

Again VIII BE n Power.

Germany Will rise again and be a
powerful factor in the European fam
ily. Her central position is dominat-
ing and she cannot be held down. Ger
many hitherto used q different Ian
guage and committed a great mistake
in allowing herself TO be drawn into
a dream Of an-Germanism, and in
undertaking other countries.
Although Germany and Austria
must bear the responsibility for war
other lands also bear an enormous re-
sponsibility. The Chauvinism OF
the Paris press under President Poin-
cares regime and Frances attempt
to compel Russia to build strategic
Polish railways forced the Berlin Gov
ernment to agree to Austria's plan.
We must pay for the damage
wrought by our C-boats and for the
breach OF Belgian neutrality. but we
have now overthrown the old regime
"Germany's position is not yet clear.
What we lack to-day Is an orga nizsd
standing army, not only TO defend the
country against the Spartic!des but
also 70 protect the coal districts OF
upper Silesia and Posen from Polish
attack. We must have peace before
all, then raw materials with which TO
/ work" "
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-12-24

One OF the many rumors now afioat
in Germany has 1t that the Entente
now plans TO take over the great
Krupp works at Essen, where, al
though work is practically at n
standstlll, the owners are paying out
100000 a day in wages
This report is thought to have been
started by one Of the political partie )
now striving for leadership.
Many conflicting interests have
arisen among tho returning soldiers,
who have torn down red flags In many
cities. Many Of the regiments, see
ing the trouble at home. refused to
disarm, and the civil authorities re-
taliated by making the soldiers as un-
comfortable as possible. To avoid
these petty annoyances many of the
regiments marched all the way back
from the front
Dr. Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Lux
emburg and their Spartacus following
would wreck Berlin except for the
soldiers. Bolshevism is thought, how
ever, to be losing ground except in
the seaports, where there continues
TO be much rowdyism.

New York, Nov. 5.-At midnight
the congressional election returns
were just little more than half in,
and on the figures then at hand
showed a gain of eight seats in the
House and three seats in the Senate
for the republicans.
Up to that hour Acting Chairman
Cummings of the Democratic Nation
al committee had issued a statement
claiming democratic gains in both
houses of congress.
Chairman Hayes, of the Republi-
can national committee had not is
sued statement, but said he felt
sure the republicans would control
the House.
The turn-overs came in New York,
Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Kansas, but so closely was dem
ocratic defeat in one district neu-
tralized by a republican defeat in
another that the net results were
very close.

Jesse HENLEY
: REACHES FRANCE

Sloan, Nov. 5.-The epidemic of
influenza is decreasing in this vi
entity, as / hear of but few new
cases, and the older ones are at work.
Well, something unusual has hap
pened, or has failed to happen in this
section, as I haven't heard of any
stealing going on in the last week.
Mrs. Effie Henley, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. B. F. Mosley, of this
community, received card from her
husband, Mr.. Jesse Henley, stating
that he had landed safely in France.
Yes, Mr.. Road Booster, will agree
with you on your plan of working
the roads. If they will fix it as tight
as they did the bone-dry law, then
we will have some good roads, as
we'll as we have got the no-fence law.
All three would be good laws, if they
were only enforced, none of which
are in this community.
Mr.. D. C. Insco's family are all in
this community who have new cases
of influenza that l have heard Of,
and most all of them are in bed with
the disease.
Mr.. Will Matheny and wife have
moved to Uncle Tom Crawford's.

ANOTHER LIBER-
TY LOAN COMING

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
has announced that, no matter what
the results of the pending overtures
for peace may be, there will be an
other Liberty Loan. To use his ex-
preston, "We are going to have fl
nance peace for while just as we
had to finance war"
There are over 100000 United
States soldiers abroad. If we trans
port these mem back to the United
States at the rate of 100000 month,
it will be over half year before they
are all returned. Our army, there
fore must be maintained, victualed
and clothed for many months after
peace is an actuality.
The American people, therefore,
having supported the Liberty Loan
with a patriotism that future histo-
rians will love to extol, will have an
opportunity to show the same pa
triotism in financing the just and
conclusive victorious peace whenever
it comes.
Not for a moment, however, is
the treasury acting on any assump-
ton that peace is to come soon.
Until peace is actually assured the
attitude of the treasury and the at
titude of the whole United States
government is for the most vigorous
prosecution of the war, and the mot
to of force against Germany without
stint or limit will be acted up to I'M
til peace is an absolute accomplished
fact.
One more Liberty Loan, at least,
is certain. The fourth loan was pop
ularly called the Fighting Loan"
the next loan may be a fighting loan,
too, or it may be peace loan. What
ever the conditions, the loan must be
prepared for and it's success rendered
certain and absolute. Begin now to
prepare to support it.

While the epidemic of flu has left
its mark indelibly upon Sharon and

now. Those who have weathered the
rayages of the terrible malady are
