plan proposed by President
Wilson, our nationalfuture will
be at the mercy of the varying
Interests of other nations in Eu
rope and Asia. IfMr, Burleson
can succeed in his high-handed
effort to commit this country to
paternalism or worse, on the alb
surd theory that his present ac.
tions are essential to the WIN
ming of the war. then indiviiu-
al rights in this country are at
the mercy of the varying politi-
cal interests or whims of who.
ever happen to be temporarily
vested with official authority.
Many people have been won
to the support of the league of
nations scheme by the false as
sertion that we must choose be
tween that league and chaos.
Many people have been induced
to look with complac .ncy upon
usurpations in the form of seiZ
ures of telephone. telegraph and
cable properties because these
properties happen to be owned
by corporations aud because ii is
falsely asserted that they can

ally and efficiently by govern
ment officials than by private
managers.
According to the most plaus
ible advices received from our
secretive representative in Eu
rope, it is apparently the plan
to weave the league of nations
into the peace treaty in such a
way as to force its adoption with
out opportunity to consider it
solely upon its own merits, thus
practically nnllifyinc that pro-

RED CROSS NOTES
BY MRS. BENTON LEpsETrER.

BY MRS. BENTON LEDBETTER..
1t has frequently been reported to the
home service section of the local chap
ter American Red Cross, that families
Of enlisted men are being visited by
persons who state they are from the Red
Cross, but who undoubtedly are not au-
thorized representatives Of the home
service section. Often conflicting ad-
vice Is given by these unauthorized rep
r~esentatives, incorrect information fur
nished and the families are hopelessly
confused as to the proper course to
pursue.
In order to protect both the home SER
vice section and the clients, Identified
ton cards have been issued to accred-
tied representatives Of the section bear
ing the signatures Of the executive sec
rotary of the home service section, VIC
tor S. woodward, and Of the bearer.
Those having occasion to deal with
home service section representatives
are requested to ask that the latter
produce their Identification cards.
All women who have ever sewed at
Red Cross headquarters are asked to
give whatever time they can toward
the completion OF the refugee garments
and other kinds now being made.
There is every reason to believe that
this is the final call upon the manu-
featuring department Of the Red Cross
and all these Red Cross workers will
have an opportunity to do a little more
for the cause.

HSly, III Ju, memphis!
Iilson" in Paris, named in honor
thy, may soon have a worthy rival
park of Memphis.
Monteverde, follows:
To the Honorable Board of Commission
ers of the City of Memphis:
The members of this organization feel
that 1t would be appropriate to name
one of the parks Of the city for Presi-
dent Wilson, and for that reason ad-
dress this petition to you.
The people Of the South are partic-
ularly fond Of President Wilson. He
was born, reared and married in the
South, while the North has been the
scene of his professional and public ca
reer, yet he has always manifested due
interest In this section Of the country.
Furthermore. during his notable ad-
ministration Of the affairs of the ma
ton, Southern men have had a larger
part in the government than during any
other period in the history of the Unit
ed States. 1t Is unnecessary, Of course,
for us to enumerate the wonderful
achievements of our chief executive.
America has never had a greater presi-
dinet.
Therefore in order to pay a fitting
tribute to the South's great statesman,
we ask you to change the name OF RIv-
erside park to Woodrow Wilson park,
or Wilson park. We believe such a
change will meet with almost unanl-
nous approval, and therefore urge that
yo,l grant our request.
