PARIS, Feb. 2S.-It would be diff
ficult to exaggerate the success OF Pres
ident Wilson's first speech at home, so
FAR as its Paris alliance Is concerned.
While 1t is recognized on all sides that
It was but beginning, there was feel
ing expressed everywhere by men Of all
walks of life that President Wilson had
accurately, forcefully and courageously
put before the American people the con-
ditions in Paris, and it was further felt
That he was fighting in America to save
all the best possibilities OF the Paris
conference.
In day to day reports of the proceed
ings here the differences OF opinion
which loom up at the moment, con-
fhcting purposes and Observation-Disclosures
serve to give an impression which, how
ever, accurate, is bound to be mislead-
ing; and In no single detail is this
truer than in the case Of the league of
nations.
The simple fact is that despite cynic-
ism on the part of some statesmen and
apprehension on the part of some rep
resentatives Of the various nations,
there is absolutely common recognition
OF the fact that the league OF nations
Is the one single guarantee, not merely
against war between nations in the
future, but the only possible guarantee
against domestic disorders which may
be very serious in certain countries.

1t Is necessary by virtue Of the fact

tralize the deleterious effects OF such

This safeguard is suggested by Or.

says that the housewives can not af-

The medical profession Of the city
Is alarmed at tho deleterious effects OF
the poor gas and is planning concerted
action under the auspices OF their or
ganisation, the Memphis and Shelby
County Medical society. The plan dis
cussed has to do with the calling OF
a meeting of the association, at which
the most vigorous arralgnment Of the
gas supply will be made; this to be
followed by a mass meeting Of out
ragged consumers. Also they are con-
templating securing a reputable chem
list to analyze Memphis alleged gas sup
ply and find out what really are the
foreign and destructive elements il
contains Some physicians believe they
have detected fumes Of sulphur, but
would not undertake to say that thi,
is true unless the testimony Of theii
