While the newspapers may not get credit for it, the slogan of, Do your shopipng carly" has been of great benefit to merchants. Instead of staying open until midnight night after night during the holiday season, their sales have been made, and many of them because of the constant reminder that the days were passing. Custom CTS are better pleased, clerks are not worked to death during the rush and it makes for really a Merry Christmas.

Agitation for the "Sour Sunday" with it's blue laws, is not meeting with much favor either, with congress or the people at large. They have knocked the "whisk" out of whiskey, are whack- ing on the "bac" of tobacco and want to yank the "sun'' out of Sunday.

Sen. SMITH DENIES
A PRIMARY CHOICE
GEORGIA SENATOR GIVES HIS
VIEWS ON WHAT A PRESI-
DENT SHOULD BE.

WASHINGTON.-Flatly denying
the report that he is in combination
to support any candidate for presi-
dent in the Georgia primary, Sena-
tor Hoke Smith today expressed the
conviction that man of practical
sommon sense whose first zeal is
America and Americans is needed
in the white house.
Senator Smith takes an indirect
fling at President Wilson, also, by
expressing commentator of the
democratic party principles recently
pronounced by Vice President Mar
shall, which are in striking contrast
to views held by the president.
In the statement issued by Sena-
tor Smith he says:
at is not my desire to take any
part in the presidential primary in
Georgia, and l hope nothing will oc-
cur to force me to do so.
"We need in the white house a
man of practical common sense,
whose first zeal is for America and
Americans, who will encourage peace
and contentment among our people,
and who will apply sane business
methods to the national administra-
ton, reducing expenses and lowering
taxation.
eve need a man who does not
believe in governmental interference
with the business of private citizens,
except to the extent of preventing
monopolies and unfair restraint OF
trade. We must get rid of war
measures and give the average man
a chance to work out his future un-
der old-time democratic principles.
81 commend the splendid presen-
tation of these principles in the re-
cent letter of Vice President Mar
shall, announcing his desire to go as
a delegate to the national conven-
ton.
"While l am deeply interested in
the action of the national democratic
convention l find my chief political
pleasure in seeking to serve the in
terests of my Georgia constituents. .

WILSON FORCED IA
POINTS ON ALLIES
COL. HOUSE ANNOUNCED IF NOT
ACCEPTED PRESIDENT WOULD
WITHDRAW. GEORGE DEMAND
ED RESERVATIONS.

PARIS.-How the allies accepted
President Wilson's fourteen points in
connection with armistice negotia-
lions was revealed for the first time
by the Echo De Paris today. 1t was
at meeting in the office of Stephen
Pichon, foreign minister, on Novem-
Der 8, 1918. Previous meetings at
Versailles had fixed the military con
ditions of an eventful armistice and
the government chiefs had met for
final elaboration.
David Lloyd George, the British
premier, the Echo De Paris says,
turned to Colonel House and declar-
ed:
"Tf we have thoroughly under
stood President Wilson's thought
the armistice negotiations which the
American government is disposed to
open with Germany in concert with
the allied powers are subordinated
by the acceptance by the said pow
ers of the principles and conditions
of peace defined by the president on
January 8 and in his subsequent
speeches. In a word, we must give
our assent to the fourteen points"
Had Not Read Them.
Colonel House is reported to have
answered that was so. Premier Glenn
enceau broke in: GAS for the four
teen points / have not read them
yet. Let me know what they are"
Colonel House began, but after
he had read the first point (relative
to open covenants of peace, openly
arrived at) M. Clemenceau exclalm-
ed: "That cannot be accepted. You
cannot negotiate in the middle of
a public street."
Mr.. Wilson's declaration in favor
of the freedom of the seas" brought
reservation from Premier Lloyd

the other hand, the Indians of Bish-
OPP, CAL, agency realized only $48,OOO
all told in the whole year from more
than 1900 persons.
More than $4,000 adult Indians are
now self-supporting and less than
5000 able bodied adults received
rations with or without labor equiv
alent.
The Indians sent 10000 of their
young men into the army and 1000
into the navy, and they boast that
the first American to cross the Marine
in the great battle that threw the
Huns back for the last time was an
Indian. Even Sergeant York was out
done by the exploit of Private Joseph
Oklahombi, a full blood Choctaw of
Company D, One hundred and forty
first infantry, who received the croix
de guerre in recognition of a feat
of arms set forth in Marshal Petain's
citation as follows: 20
"Under a violent barrage dashed
to the attack of an enemy position,
covering about 210 yards through
barbed wire entanglements. He rush
ed on machine gun positions, captur-
ing. III prisoners. He stormed a
strongly held position containing
more than fifty machine guns and
number of trench mortars. Turned
the captured guns on the enemy and
held the position for four days in
spite of constant barrage of large
projectiles and of gas shells. Crossed
no mans land many times to get in
formation concerning the enemy and
to assist his wounded comrades"
Of other deeds of Indian heroism
in the great war Commissioner Sells
says in his report that Francis Le-
quier, a young Chippewa, in company
with two or three others, attacked
a machine gun nest and when left as
the only survivor faced all that re-
NAMED of the machine gunners and
killed or captured the entire group.

CUREOFFERED
Chamber of Commerce Says
Efficiency by Railroads
Will Solve Problem. ,
CBy Universal service.)

Pointing out that the railroads
are unable to obtain funds to pur-
chase sufficient new cars and equip
ment which would cost S1,605,00O,-
900 and add 6 per cent to freight
rates, the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States yesterday made
urgent appeal to all shippers to CO.
operate in making more effective
use of the equipment at hand. In
vestigation, it was stated, reveals
that the equivalent of at least
500, 900 cars can be added to the
supply in a manner which 1t de-
scribes as follows:
This can only be done by extern
sive additions of new facilities and
equipment, including freight cars,
locomotives, yard and track ter
minals or by making greater use
of existing facilities and equip
ment.
The railroads cannot carry OUT
the plan first suggested because
they are unable to obtain sufficient
new capital; nor would it be pos
sible for them to provide new facil-
tiles in time to relieve the present
emergency If capital were available.
They must, therefore, rely on the CO.
operation of shippers of freight, re-
ceivers Of freight and railroad en-
ployes.
Shippers and receivers of freight
can add $4,000 freight cars to the
available car supply by loading
cars more heavily and loading and

POISON DEATHS
LAID TOSPREE
Edgewood Arsenal Victims
Declared to Have Put
On Party"

Wood alcohol and no other sort
OF poison was responsible for the
deaths OF nine men and the Hines.
of four others at the Edgewood Ar
senal during the past few days, ac-
cording to a statement issued here
last night by Brig. Gen. Amos L
Fries, chief of the Chemical War
fare Service, under whose jurisdic-
Hon the arsenal comes.
Gen. Fries personally visited the
arsenal and conducted a rigid in
Nsestigation into the whole affair.
He expressed the opinion that. the
death orgy began with some sort
of Intoxicating liquor which some
of the dead men brought from
Baltimore, where they spent most
of Labor Day.
Ran Out of Liquor.
Running short of liquor, it was
claimed, the men took some wood
alcohol from a drum kept on the
arsenal grounds for washing parts
of machinery used in making tear
gas, and drank it.
An analysis, Gen. Fries stated, OF
the contents of bottles found near
the bodies Of the men, showed 4

other was found in one of the build
ings unconscious. lying. it was
stated, on a pile of rubbish.
Gen Fries declared the arsenaTi
supply of wood and other kinds OIL
alcohol were examined and found
not to have been tampered with.
Vernon Pettys, a Washington me
Chanic, who was one of the first I,

BILE information to Gen. Fries.
Pettys said he was offered a drinl
by Joseph L. McCuen, of Alexandria
Va, but spit it out because 1T tasted
funny" He also told Gen. Fries tina
the men brought the mysteriou,
liquor to the arsenal after their re
turn from Baltimore on Labor Day.
