AGAINST War COUNCIL.
PRESIDENT WILSON WILL FIGHT
TO A FINISH.
Attempt to Tie His Hands in Direction
OF War by Creation Of War Cabinet
Arouses Fighting Spirit Of The
President.

Washington, Jan. 21.-President
Wilson has served notice on the DEM
ocratic leaders in the senate that he
will use all his influence and power to
defeat the bill to create a war council
The president will fight to- a finish,''
was the word brought to the capitol
today. The bill providing for the es-
adjustment OF "a war cabinet Of three
DISTINGUISHED citizens of demonstrated
executive ability" was introduced to-
les - senator Chamberlain of the
senate military committee.
Despita the presidents announced
ct rnlination to fight it, the war cab
inct bill was introduced as planned
and with the approval of practically
all Democrats of he committee who
showed TO dispos: to recede.

leges and their rights in common
stock"
A voice: "And wealth."
Certainly" replied the premier,
who continued: IF any man standing
in my place can find an honorable
equitable and just way out of this con-
iiict without fighting it through, for
heavens sake let him tell me. MY
own conviction is this: The people
either must go on or go under"
"A great number of questions were
put to the premier by the delegates
regarding the advisability Of entering
into peace negotiations of the permit
ting of conference at Stockholm. Mr..
Lloyd George, in replying, said:
Germany always has been read
FOR peace at her own price, but that
is not price that we are prepared to
pay, The moment the Germans show
disposition to negotiate a peace on
equitable terms-and they are the
terms the labor party itself has in
substance adopted there will be no
reluctance to enter into peace negotia-
tions."
The premier's objection to q confer
ence at Stockholm Or elsewhere was
that delegates OF, the German govern.
ment would be chosen. A delegate
mere interjected: Not necessarily"
Mr. Lloyd George replied to this:
DO not let us deceive ourselves with
delusions. You can only make peace
with a government. If the govern
ment does not represent the people
or Germany let them change their
government"
In the same breath the premier
challenged his audience to change
their own government if they were
dissatisfied and a delegate called out.
Give us an opportunity"
Mr.. Lloyd George resumed: 1--WE
nave given you the best opportunity
because we introduced a franchise bill
adding 100000 to electorate. You
can have your opportunity whenever
YOU like. 1t is not the government
which shinks from it,"
Then he was asked whether if the
Germans decided on government
to that of the present Russian
government. England would recog1
nize their representatives. Mr.. JJovdl
George replied: "We will recognize \
the representative of any government
set up by the German peo. /,
ple.''

William Elliott, Food Administrator
for South Carolina, states that G. A.
Lennon has been commissioned as
rood Administrator for Sumter coup-
ty. He suggests that any violations Of
the food regulations be promptly re-
ported to Mr.. Lennon.
1t is a violation of the food regula-
tons for individuals to hoard food
for dealers to exact unreasonab bic
prices that give them excessive pro-
fits, TO refuse to sell articles of food
to those who need them. when such
articles are on hand, to REQUIRE a
customer TO purchase other articles
as a. condition to receiving the article
needed. For instance it is a violation
of the food regulations to require q
customer to purchase flour or any
other article in combination with su-
gar. The only combination sale per-
mitted is corn meal with sugar.
