COUNT ON WILSON.

The fear of "hitch" in the peace
negotiations owing to the state
ments of Premier Clemenceau and
President Wilson. which were rather
divergent, so-to-speak. is unfound-
ed. The premier was rather feel
ing his way than de-
fnitely committing himself, and
President Wilson. while already
committed to an extent. is finding
out good many things he wishes to
know. There is no ground for
fear that agreement between the al
lied countries will be hard to reach.
The common purpose Of them all has
been and is now paramount and
there will be no Observation-Disclosures
and no misjudging.
President Wilson may be counted
upon to bring about harmony in
peace or war. He takes no halfway
ground and he is determined in his
effort as much at this time as he
was when the war was going on. In
this determination, he is backed up
by fraction less than a million
American people

SEIZURE OF CABLES is
ARGUED BEFORE COURT
Charles T.. Hughes Considers TAX
ing Over During "Technical
state of War" Illegal.

New York. Dec. 3O.-In authoriz-
ing President Wilson to take over
IN" nations cables, congress intend
ed such seizure To be made ''only in
case Of impending danger to the
national security" and not "at anv
time during the existence of a mere
technical state OF war" declared
Charles +. Hughes, counsel for tho
Commercial Cable and Commercial
Paciiic Gable companies, in federal
court here.
MT Hughes made this contention
while arguing before Judge Hand
on the motion OF the government to
dismiss the bill of complaint in a
suit brought by the two companies
TO enjoin Postmaster General Burle-
son and Newcomb Carlton from
merging their lines under federal
control with those of the Western
Union Telegraph company.
In reply TO question OF Judge
Hand as 10 whether the security OF
defense of the nation does not de-
pend on achievements of the objects
Tor which the war was fought" and
not on the mere termination OF
lighting. Mr. Hughes said:

war viii probably not be determln-
ed during our lifetime. | think that

papers have increased both. The

point of circulation both in quantity
and quality. more and more each
year. and consequently the year
just closed was a successful one from
the point of volume of business, not
withstanding the war For this in
creased business, The News is very
grateful.
Every effort will be made during
the year just begun to make the pa
per worthy of still greater business
from the merchants and business
men of the county and the liberal
number of foreign advertisers who
use its columns by putting into the
paper the news the people want
and by improving the facilities for
handling both advertising and job
printing.

THE FIRST STEP.

Petitions are being circulated for
the signatures of automobile own
ers in the county asking the legis-
lature to pass such bills as will con
form to the plan recently outlined
bile association, chief of the provis-
ions being the increasing of the au-
tomobile license tax from 25 cents
the horsepower to so cents the horse
power. This is the first step in the
direction of good roads in South
Carolina and it is not likely that
signatures will be lacking.
An effort will be made to give
every owner Of motor car the op-
portunity of signing the petition
either by a systematic canvas of the
county or by sending one of the
blank petitions into each school dis
trict, and putting the same in thd
hands of some man who will see the
owners of cars and ask them to sign.
The car oweners, however, should
not wait to be approached and the
editor Of The News or any member
of the Lancaster county automobile
association will be glad to give any
information desired as to the plans
under way for the Improvement OF
roads in the state through legisla-
bonds

Governor Springs.

We see it now as plain as a chalk
mark on a new blackboard-"Hon
Elliott White Springs, Governor Of
South Carolina" He is going to be
one of the war-made governors, and
the fame, which has come to him as
an air fighter in France is what will
do the work of his political eleva-
tion. He was making such a record
when the collapse of Germany came,
that if the war had lasted much
longer he might have found place
among the presidential timber.
Young Springs went into the bust
ness of air fighting with vigor and
determination that quickly qualified
him for squadron leadership. in
which capacity his performances
brought decoration at the hands of
the King of England. He is Il son Of
Col. Leroy Springs. formerly OF
Charlotte, and has here town full
of relatives. friends and admirers
who would be willing at moments
notice to go over into South Carolina
and vote for him. if their votes
should be needed.

The number of hogs returned for

at least one hog for each human

dence that the number OF cattle and
hogs returned for taxation was al
most the same. The cows outnum-
bered the hogs by 444.. It seems
that there should be three or four

So long as a great part OF our agri-

THE WAR DEPARTMENT
UNDER FIRE IN SENATE


Washington, Jan. 2.-SenatOr
Chamberlain OF Oregon, chairman
OF senate military committee, spoke
for more than three hours in the
partment. dealing with particularly
what he termed the failure to pro-
vide adequate hospital facilities for
returned wounded soldiers and to
formulate "a definite plan for demobi-
liZation.
The senator reiterated many Of
the charges he made in his address
at New York soon after the nation
entered the war and in a subsequent
address in the senate and said that
information that has come to light
since had justified the statement he
had made. Senator Chamberlain's
New York address brought forth a
sharp statement from President Will
son Referring indirectly to that
criticism. the Oregon senator said
his purpose then and his purpose
now was to bring about an improve
ment in conditions.
Senator Chamberlain who was
heard by crowded galleries, said the
war department now. is pursuing
with regard to hospital facilities the
same dilatory tactics il did in the
prosecution of the war many months
ago.
IF the war department" he de-
clared, paid one-half the attention
to preparations for receiving these
boys as il is to getting legislation
through congress in order to pro
tect contractors who made contracts
for war supplies over the telephone
in violation OF law. this matter would
soon be settled The need for a
policy of demobilization was urged
by the senator who said that if one
were established unrest among the
men in cantonments and overseas
would cease"
The senator was frequently inter
rupted by questions from other SEN
ators, but there was no general de-
bate

sively from the recent report OF

sertion that despite the claim made

and that the heavy ordnance situa-
tion was improving II had been nee

and British governments for air

Senator Chamberlain spoke OF the
report OF Charles f.. Hughes on the
aircraft production as evidence bear
ing out his charge OF ineficiency

OF the report which said misleading

'hority Of the secretary OF war, con-

his adversary going down in flames,
