WILSON MAY CALL
CONGRESS MAY IS
SPECIAL SESSION OF SENATE TO
DISCUSS TREATY, MAY
BE EARLIER.
RETURN is NOT NECESSARY
President May Convene Congress BY
Gable From France If the Peace
Treaty Far Enough Advanced
To Warrant Action.

Paris-A special session of both
Houses of the American Congress
probably will be called to assemble
about the middle of May, the date
when President Wilson hopes to re-
turn to the United States.
1t is possible that If the treaty OF
peace is sufficiently advanced to war
rant such a course, a special session
Of the Senate may be called even ear
lier to afford it opportunity to deal
with this subject before being called
upon to direct it's attention to other
important matters, chief of which Will
be financial affairs.
1t is held to be unnecessary for
President Wilson to be in Washington
when the call for such special ses-
sion is issued, for this may be Ca
bled from Paris in advance of his de-
parture from France. Mr.. W M-Ison'
however, has reached no decision re-
garding the question and is reserVlng
the shaping of his course OF action
until he has more definite loea Oh
the date of his return to America.
The president is also Keeping IN
touch with the development OF sentl-
ment in the United States toward
league of nations. If the situation
appears to him to demand such ac-
tion, it is not unlikely that shortly
after his return from Europe he Will
make an extended speaking tour pre-
senting his view of the issue to the
voters in the states whose senators
are opposed to the ratification of the
league plan.

TO AID IN RECONSTRUCTION
Order Placed With Junior Red Cross
for Thousands of Chairs and
Tables for France.

Washington.-Man of $4,000
chairs and 10000 tables for the war
refugees of Northern France will be
started soon by 100000 school boys
working in manual training shops
throughout the United States. The
American Red Cross announced that
an order for the furniture had been
placed with the Junior Red Cross, and
that arrangements for filling it had
been completed.
AS fast as the chairs and tables are
finished they will be sent to France
by the Red Cross and distributed to
refugees who have either no money to
buy furnishings or are unable to OBJ
tain furniture because of the lack OF
materials and the destruction of fur
niture factories. A message of greet
ing from the Junior Red Cross will be
placed on each article sent.

Colonel House, of the American Mis-

Paris-The German steamships
Cleveland, Patricia and Cap Finistere,
which are to be handed over to the
United States, left Germany for Brit
ish ports, beginning the movement to
placee Hun ships under allied control.
The German crews will be replaced
by Americans in the British ports.
The vessels then, it is expected, will
come to French ports to take Ameri"
can troops to the United States. They
will return with food for Germany.
The first food for Germany under
the agreement reached in Brussels
will come from England. 1t is under
stood that vessels are being loaded
and probably will reach German ports
within a week.
The Germans have begun the move
ment Of gold to Brussels, where they
Ceposit it as collateral for the food.

George l. King, known by every man,
woman and child in Brown county and
by all visitors who go to Nashville by
way of Helmsburg, has been the stage
coach driver between Nashville and
Helmsburg and the hearse driver for
Nashvilles only undertaking establish
ment for ten years.
Recently there was to be burial at
the Story cemetery, twelve miles south
of Nashville, and King was called on
to drive the hearse. He hltched two
horses to the hearse and started from
Nashville at a. m. After he had
driven within two miles of the ceme-
terry, he got out to walk up steep
hill and noticed that he had forgotten
to put the coffin In the hearse. He
turned the horses heads toward Nash
VILE and made the trip back in short
time. He loaded the coffin and
changed horses and resumed the trip.
The burial was delayed four hours

MORE THAN FOUR HUNDRED
DELEGATES GATHER AT COT.
TON CONVENTION.
ORGANIZATION PERMANENT
Indicates That the Fight Is Al
most Won--K. D. Mcclellan
Welcomed Visitors.

Memphis.-The convention of south
srn merchants, bankers and farmers
held here, supplemental to the Cotton
Acreage Reduction Convention held
at New Orleans in February, was even
more successful, If that were possible,
than the New Orleans convention.
Every one of the 10 principal cot
with the exception of Georgia. A tele-
gram was received from Gov. Dorsey
pledging cooperation, saying that
Georgia was pushing it's campaign and
could be counted upon to do its part
California had a delegation on the
way, but was delayed A telegram
was received saying that it would
abide by any action taken by the con,
vention.
Arkansas was the only state that
was not represented officially, but
many of the biggest planters in the
state were present.
The convention hall was too small
for the gathering. More than 400
delegates were present, and they were
of kind that would have made up in
quality had there been a deficiency
in numbers.
Besides rounding out the work for
holding the present crop and reducing
the new planting, the convention took
the important step of appointing
committee to arrange dates for a con,
vention to investigate with the view
of organizing an export cotton cor
poratiou in accordance with plans
suggested by Gov. w. P. G. Harding
of the federal reserve board, and sub,
mitted to the convention by c. P. ].
Mooney of The Commercial Appeal
The meeting will be held in Memphis
at an early date Gov. Harding will
come to Memphis for the purpose of
explaining the matter, and with him
will come Senator Owens of Oklaho-
ma, financial authority, who is a
master of all the details in regard to
the proposed organization.

prayer by Rev. C. H. Williamson, D.
D., briefly summarized the purpose of
the meeting and introduced Hon. X
D. McKellar. United States senator,
VINO welcomed the visitors to Memphis
and to Tennessee.
An address of welcome was also de-
livered by Charles j. Haas, who
spoke in the names OF Gov. A. H. Rob,
