PEACE CONFERENCE OPENS;
CLEMENCEAUM MADE CHAIRMAN:
VIII SON FORESEES EARLY PACT
PresidentLauds Tiger off rance;'
Poincare Outlines World sDuties

Paris, Jan. 1S.-Nominating Pre-
nler Clemenceau for permanen
chairman of the conference of Pari.
President Wilson said:
Mr. Chairman: 1t gives me
great pleasure to propose as
permanent chairman of the con-
ference, Mr.. Clemenceau, the
president of the council. 1
would do this as a matter of
custom. 1 would do this as a
tribute to the French republic.
But l wish to do it as some
thing more than that. l wish
to do it as a tribute to the man.
France deserves the prece-
denCe, not only because we are
meeting in her capital and be-
cause she has undergone some
of the most tragicaI suffering
of the war, but also because her
capital, her ancient and beauti-
full capital, has so often been
the center of conferences of this
sort and on which the fortunes
of large parts of the, world
turned.
Fortunes of World Mt Stake.
81 is a very delightful thought
that the history of the world,
which has so often centered
here, will now be crowned by
the achievements of this con-
ference, because there is sense
in which this is the supreme
conference of the history OF
mankind.
More nations are represented
here than were ever represented
in such a conference before. The
fortunes of all people are in
vOlved. A great war is ended,
which seemed about to bring a
universal cataclysm. The dan
ger is passed A victory has
been won for mankind and it is
delightful that we should be
able to record these great re-
suits in this place.
But it is the more delightful to
honor France because We can
honor her in the person of so dis
tinguished a servant. We have all
felt in our participation in the
struggles of this war the fine
steadfastness which characterized
the leadership of the French in the
hands of Mr.. Clemenceau. We have
learned to admire him, and those
of us who have been associated
with him have acquired a genuine
affection for him.
Moreover, those of us who have
been in these recent days in con-
stant consultation with him know
how warmly his purpose is set to-
ward the goal of achievement. to
which all our faces are turned.
He feels, as we feel as L have no
doubt everybody in this room feels,
that we are trusted to do a great
thing. to do in the highest spirit of
friendship and accommodation, and
to do it as promptly as possible, i'm
order that the hearts OF men may
have fear lifted from them and
that they may return to those pur-
poses of life which will bring them
happiness and contentment and
prosperity. Knowing his brother
hood of hearts in these great mat
ters, it affords me a personal
pleasure to propose Mr.. Clemcn-
ceau shall be the permanent chair
man of this conference"

WOODEN SHIP
CHIEF RESIGNS
= - - . - 49,
Manager Heyworth Claims
Vessels Proved Factor In
Winning War.

James Ormerod Heyworth. Of
Chicago, who, since 1917, has been
manager of the wood ship divi-
sion. United States shipping Board.
Emergency Fleet. resigned ycster-
day.
Il am no longer able to disregard
as an engineering contractor" is
given as his official explanation.
M. HeywOrth issued a statement
detailing his custodianship of the
wood ship division. refuting the as
sertiOns made some time ago in the
Senate that the whole wooden ship
program has been a failure, and that
all of the money invested in these
ships will be a dead loss to the gov
ernment."
Wooden Ships Made Good.
"On the contrary" he says, there
is a wealth of evidence at hand con-
cerning the staunchness and sea-
worthiness of these vessels; evil
denCe that is sufficient in volume
and character to emphatically dis
prove any rumOrs of general failure
of this type of ship.
The most conspicuous perform
ance of the wood ship is that it car
ried substantially an entire sugar
crop from the Honolulu Islands in
1918 without any greater damage to
this highly perishable cargo than is
sustained in steel ships and this,
too. in spite of the fact that the
wood ship was so badly thought of
for this kind of service, that the in
suran rates showed a rate of so
cents against % cents for similar
cargoes in steel ships.
wooden ships to the number of
1O1 were completed up to December
/. OF these "a are in active service.
They have made 3O5 voyages cover
ing a total of 49O.422 statute miles"
Troubles of Minor Character.
Much of the opposition" he de-
clares. was based, not on the ma
terial of construction. but upon size
and consequently small carrying ca
pacity with much space forced to be
given over to coal, especially when
ships were on long journeys.
"Of all the troubles experienced
with the wood ships, 80 per cent are
of a minor character, and of these
one-half are probably due to inexpe-
rienced crews and faulty handling.
While it is regretted that delays
did occur" he concludes, yet. con-
sidering the task. the output of
wooden ships already proved suffi-
cient in amount and early enough in
the time of delivery to be factor in
solving the transportation problems
of the war;

to buy a box OF oranges-whtch he
promptly peddled at a profit of 100 per

shillings he had saved-in a box Of
oranges.
There are boxes of oranges all
