PARIS, Jan. 25.-President Wilson told a delegation representing the working women of France who called upon him today to urge that the peace conference include woman suffrage among the points of settlement that, much as he sympathizes with their cause, he felt that it was entirely a domestic question for the several na- tions. He said he believed that it would be considered quite outside the province of the conference if it ''un- dertOOk to dictate to the several states what their internal policy should be. "
 The same situation, he said, applied to the question of labor and it seemed to him that the conference would give action by expressing it's sentiments on these subjects.
 The conference" said the presi- dent, ''is turning out to be a rather un- weildly bcdy-a very large body repre-

 The president saw American sol diers in the street-soldiers who had come. not alone for war. but as "cru- saders in great cause" and he add. ed, "and l, like them. must be cru sader, whatever it costs to accomp. fish that end"
 After declaring that the conference was for the purpose of a settlement arising out of the war and to make peace for the world, President Wilson said:
 "A league of nations seems neces- sary for both purposes. There are many questions which we feel cannot ultimately be worked cut here. that may require subsequent consideration, subsequent alterations even to some degree"
 He described how the war burden was borne by the people as we'll as by the armies, and said;
 We are bidden by these sufferers to make peace secure for them and see to it that the strain never need be borne again"
 PARIS, Jan. 95,-Following is Pres ident Wilson's address before the laeaeo conference today: MT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-J Ogden Armour today suggested 9 monoply, under government supervision, of the entire meat industry of the country as best for producer and consumer.
 Testifying before the senate agri- culture committee, he declared that by this plan millions of dollars could be saved, which would help increase the profits Of producers of livestock and at the same time cut down the cost of meat to consumers
 The necessity of close government supervision was emphasized. however, by Mir. Armour in connection with his proposal
 Such a concern must be regulated by the government" he told the com mittee, because few men, with such enormous power, would use it prop, erly"
 There was no discussion of Mir. Armour's plan, which he proposed dur ing cross-examination by Francis J. Heney, who conducted the federal trade commissions packing house in- quiIy The question then touched upon alleged existence of a combina- ton among the leading packers, which MT Armour denied
 Mir Armour explained that the packers contributed to a general fund, such as might be used in joint legis- latiye action, and said he believed this was a common practice among indus tries. Payments were paid on per centage basis, which followed, he add ed. the basis adopted during a pool by these concerns many years ago ito prevent an over-supplied market"
 Each of the companies, he testified, now tried to maintain about the same share of business as at that time, but he denied that there was any actual agreement to that effect.
 Don't you think that there is a de cided tendency" MT. Heney asked, toward eventual growth of only three big packing companies Armour and company, Swift and company, and Morris and company"
 i've heard some such statement be- fore" Mir Armour replied.
 MT. Heney contended that the country would be benefited if the business were conducted by more small packing houses, widely distrib- uted. He accused the packers of wasteful methods, made possible by their great volume of business.
 Mir Armour contended that the packers required no advantage from the relationship with banks and rail

WASHINGTON. Jan. Exchanges that Milton J.

 Trainer is expected to appear in his own behalf next week Adcock told the committee that the charge that his client had sought the commission from Edward $.

INVESTIGATION US. TRANSPORT SINKING BEGUN
By Review Leased wire)


 WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Publishea reports that the cruiser Galveston had failed to give adequate protection to the American transport TicOnderoga sunk by a German submarine Sep tember % last, caused Secretary Dan iels to issue a statement tonight, de scribing how the ship was destroyed as reported by the commanding off cer Of the cruiser before the court oi inquiry Investigating the case.
 The statement set forth that the Galveston, acting as escort for IA yes sels. 300 miles off the British coast was ahead and on the right flank, and that the cargo carrier FeItore was known to be two miles south of the convoy: shortly before daylight the Galveston received a flash on the star board side about six miles away and thinking they were being attacked changed her course, ran several hun dred yards and opened fire. The com manding officer reported that a few minutes later the Galveston saw a second set of gun flashes which were very close together and made it dangerous to continue firing, due to the possibility Of hitting a friendly vessel. Immediately after the cessa- ton of gun flashes the cruiser quit firing
 Not knowing the TiconderOga had fallen cut of the convoy. the statement continued, the Galveston returned to her position, and in checking up the ships later it was found that the transport was missing.
 The commanding officer states that due to the large number of men in the engineers force who were sick with influenza" Secretary Daniels said ~it had been necessary to reduce his boiler power and if he remained absent from the convoy some length of time, he would be unable to rejoin and the submarine would, therefore have good opportunity of attacking the other vessels of the convoy. That he did not know the ship attacked was from his convoy and that it was his first duty to remain with the large number of ships in the convoy rather than to remain longer with the shin being attacked and that he thought she had a chance to escape.
 "The commanding officer states that his general instructions were that if one oT more ships in convoy are tcTPedOed or mined the ocean escort is to proceed with her convoy"
 Survivors of the TicOnderOga re ported that during the night of Sep tember Z9-30 the vessel had dropped out of her position because of diff cuty in maintaining steam and speed

WHOLE WEEKS CELEBRATION
Descendants Of Old Spanish Settlers
Observed Christmas With Din
nera and Parties.

Among the descendants of the old
Spanish settlers we find that they OBJ
serve a week in the celebration of
Christmas. This begins one week be-
fore Christmas. In the daytime they
have dinners at each others homes,
and in the evenings they give series
OF parties at the different houses. In
the evening the young folk go to the
home of one of their number and
knock, and then all begin to sing.
Those within the house ask. who Is
there7" and the answer is. The vir.
gin Mary and st. Joseph seek lodging
in your house." To carry out the 81
BILE story they are at first refused ad-
mittance. and then the door is opened
wide and they are all given q hearty
welcome.
On Christmas eve the old and
young all join together and nave q
big celebration. In O large hall they
fix up one side to represent the man
ger. and here they very solemnly give
little play In which many take part.
the characters being Mary and Jo-
seph. the wise men, the shepherds
and the angels. This play is very real
to them, and they all play their parts
with q reverent spirit.

WALTER YOUNG HOOPER.

Recently there passed from life's
activities Walter Young Hooper, for
years an honored and respected
citizen of Coffeevil.e, and well
known throughout Yalobusha county.
The lowing clouds often obscured the
horizon of "Dink" Hooper's life but
the cordial handshake of friendship
never relaxed and he met conditions
with sunny smile and his gaze was
for the rift in the clouds, from which
the light of golden day radiated.
In the drolings with his fellow man he
was cordial and charitable. To the
poor his purse was ever open.
He was a Master Mason with most
becoming zeal. In religious belief
ne was a Baptist, being a member Of
the Elan Baptist Church. The body
of w. Y. Hooper was gently deposited
to rest in the Hooper lot of the Elam
cemetery, lot in which his wife, son
and daughter are buried.
"Dink," after years Of horrors
sorrows and wooing incident to this
life you sleep in perpetuated peace
'sIn the Golden City of God" your
soul is at rest. To the sorrowing
family would offer this thought:
death has made his darkness beauti-
full with w. Y. Hooper"
