made a stab at Archibald Rowan when

ROME, Dec. 3i.-President Wilson

probably Milan, in addition TO Rome, It
was semi-o1lcially announced today.
The Giornale De Italia declared today
that Premier Orlando has decided to
postpone reorganization Of the ministry
until Wilson's arrival.
PARIS. Jan. i.-President' Wilson's
Trip TO England has resulted in no
change or deviation Of his original pro-
gram on the general principle OF free
dom Of the seas.
The United press is able 10 state au-
ihoritatiyely today that the President s
So-cailed coalition" with Lord North
cliffe. as a result Of which the North
cliTe press seems to have been lined up
behind the general Wilson program,
has not been brought about by any
Wilsonian backdown on the free seas
proposal.
Northcllffe has long been an adyO-
cate OF the league Of nations. He mas
not even opposed German membership
since it has been clear that the Ger
man military machine really is wreck
20. He lhas not, however, committed
himself to Wilson's ideas Of the free
dom Of the seas. Prior to the PreS-
dents arrival in France there was no
particular indication that his program
was to have the support OF the cop-
servatlve Northcliffe newspapers. It was
even said that while in the United
states, Northcliffe had found but little
10 interest him in the W'ilsonlan theor-
les.
Consequently when, upon his arrival
in Paris, Wilson gave ready ear to the
great British Journalist and broke all
precedents by granting an interview to
Northcliffe's London Times. there was
instantly a suggestion that possibly the
President had seen No TO modify his
view on the free seas proposition when
assured OF Norihcliffes support OF the
league idea. The President, It can be
stated on The highest authority, has
never intimated TO Northcliffe orto any
one else the slightest inclination to
agree TO a compromise on any Of his
"A principles. His conversation" with
the British publisher was spontaneous
and voluntary. IL was the Presidents

Students Of the public schools and
the colleges are rejoicing in the
promise of long holiday. They are
especially grateful to the school and
college authorities for the same. But
II occurs TO us THAT not only should
thanks be returned to them but also
to Uncle Sam, for we have an idea
that the fuel situation as well as the
school authorities is responsible.
The college girls will go home on
the 18th and will not have to report
for studies until January the 5th

gin the holidays on the 18th and they
may last two weeks, depending upon

The years come and go, Christmas
comes around once year. This week
is the beginning Of the week before
Christmas. OF course Santa Claus
must come with his arms full OF
presents at the appointed hour, along
about midnight on Christmas eve
This big hero of the season will come
slipping down the chimney to fill the
thousands of little stockings.
AS we tear off the last leaf of Dee
ember from our calendar and watch
it flutter in the fire, we almost hear
the Christmas chimes vibrating on
the air and all over the land the
holly and mistletoe are being gather
ed to adorn our homes, churches and
school houses for the glad Christmas
tide. Even the birds have put on a
festive appearance, people are rush
ing with boxes and parcels. The
young people and the old folks alike
are busy decorating and putting the
presents on the Christmas tree. The
little children are anxiously waiting
for this weeks issue of the Dispatch
to see what Santa Claus is promising
to bring them through its columns.
A merry Christmas in the good
old fashioned way on the farm, is one
of the happy memories of our child
hood days. The pumpkins and cher
ry pies, persimmon beer and fruit
cakes, with the turkey that mother,
used to cook in that spacious old-time
kitchen. The fond recollections of !
those good pound cakes and pies are
sweeter than any realization Of to-
day.
Here is wishing the editor and the
numerous readers Of the Dispatch, a
Merry and Happy Christmas; weE
hope that joy and mirth, good will |
and peace, may enfold them all ink
their golden atmosphere and that
each heart may be touched with the
sweet tenderness that comes with the
happy Christmastide.

found a copy of the Columbus DEM

Mr.. w. H. Worthington, editor with
office in the Odd Fellows building,

year. This paper was printed on the5
Acme hand power printing press,
every Saturday morning. The type
was set by hand and it was a four
page paper with only two pages Of i
home print. In looking over this
paper we find that 1873 was cam
