PISTOL CARRIERS ARE
PHYSICAL COWARDS"
SAYS ATTY. GEN. GEORGE
w. CHAMLEE.
Will Ask Legislature to Pass
Stringent Law Against
Pistol Selling.

The next Legislature in Tennessee
will be asked to pass q law against
the sale of pistols. making the pen
atty for the violation severe one.
Another phase of the law to be pre-
pared will he the confiscation by the
courts of all pistols found to be car
ried with unlawful intent. Gen.
George w. Chamlee Is the leading
spirit behind the movement in Ham,
ilton county, and he stated Thursday
he would do all in his power to have
such law passed. Gen. Chamlee
stated that since he had been attor-
ney- general he had investigated the
records. and had found that the car"
rying of pistols was responsible for
nine -tenths Of the crime in Tennes-
see.
Gen. Chamlee said: whisky is bad
enough, but when a man gets drunk
he is helples and can do no harm
other than to himself unless he Is
armed with a pistol; then he may
temporarily insane and IL he has n
pocket he will take his own life while
in such a condition. whereas the
chances are that il he didn't at that
moment own or have pistol he
would get over his temporary insan-
ity before he had time TO do himself
any personal injury. 7 tell you, I
am strongly in favor of stringent
pistol law, for pistol carrying and
selling is the worst offense I know
of. for the reason it inevitably leads
to the taking of human life. a man
VINO uses pistol in an unlawful way
is a physical coward"

PRESIDENT PROMISES
ARMY HAPPY new YEAR
WAY CLEARS TOWARD HIS
PEACE OBJECTIVES.
Stirring Scene at Front Causes
Wilson to Frankly Admit
Being "Choked Up"

On Board President Wilson's Spc-
cial Train en- Route to Calais, Dec.
2G.--(A. P.)-President Wilson left
Chaumont for England late yesterday
afternoon feeling more strongly than
ever the magnificent part American
soldiers took in winning the war.
Yesterdays review, in which 10000
soldiers marched before him. created
n deep impression upon the president
quite apart from the historic signif-
icance of reviewing fighting men on
foreign soil for the first time.
When addressing his troops as
"feIIow- conntrymen" he told ttenA hA
believed he "could promise them Z
happy New Year." This was consid-
cred the keynote of the address,. ana
friends OF Mr.. Wilson construed hiD
words to mean that he was beginning
to see the way more clearly toward
the attainment of the objectives he
has set for himself at the peace con-
ference.
Ono Important Address.
At least one very important ad-
dress may be expected from the pres.
ident while he is in England. It may
ly on issues in which Great Britain
is so deeply interested. He will take
opportunity TO do this in the course
of conferences he will hold with Pre-
mier Lloyd George, A. J. Balfour,
secretary of state for foreign affairs,
and Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor
OF the exchequer. but whatever pub
lie speech he will make will be, OF
course, in explanation to the English
people themselves, who he believes
are in accord with the principles
upon which the making Of peace has
been begun.
In his address to the American
troops yesterday President Wilson
said he had found no difference in
principles or of fundamental pur-
pose. He expects to return to Paris
to continue the work of the peace
conference with what may be differ-
onces of opinion cleared away or on
the way to accomplishment.
Worthy of Great Painter.
Yesterdays review was a picture
worthy of a great painter. The sight
of 10000 American veterans carrying
the United States flag on the soil OF
n sister republic, a comrade In arms
in a great cause, was just little too
much to permit the president to sup.
press his emotion. He frankly ad-
mitted being "all choked up"
