Announcement Will Be Made From the White House ThIs AftNnoon-DebS
 Case Considered
By Associated Press

Washington. December 22.-Christ- mas freedom for war law offenders was given final consideration by President Harding tonight at an after-dinner conference at the White House with Attorney General Daugh- erty.
 Announcement of those selected for executive clomency. 1t was said, is to be made from the White House to- morrow afternoon.
 At tonight's conference the Pres ident was understood to have gone over with Mir. Daugherty the digest prepared by the department of jus tice containing the complete history of l9s war law violaters, and to have taken each case separately witaout relation to the others. In this con- nection # was thought probable in official circles that the case of Eu- gene v. Debs, socialist leadsr inl- prisoned at Atlanta, was considered a. an individual case upon it5 merits as were tha other offenders against the war laws.
 While 1t was expected that quite number of these offenders would be granted their freedom by the Presl- dent. high officials maintained there would be no general amnesty ex- tended war law prisoners. and that tomorrow's action would only be' the extension of executive clemency on a larger scale than usual.

 Mir. Lauck in his statement tonight said that if President Markham and other railway executives hope to re- tain the loyalty and cooperation Of their employees they should be scru- pulous in ascertaining and stating the truth frankly and openly" He said that the constructive policy of the railroads had only embraced three points. which he classified as "abus- i've attacks upon all those who speak for the employees. the reduction of railway wages, and the grabbing from the public treasury of the leargest sums obtainable." Such "a selfish, restricted and evasive policy" he added, will not stand the test of public scrutiny and cannot long en- dure"

Along with two blanket mates, who were as poor as myself, started. or rather revived publi- cation of an old suspended news- paper at Nashville. Nothing could withstand the energy and ardor which we three threw into the en- terprise. We were working for bread and had to have it. When we began there were nine daily papers strug- giing for a footing in the little Tennessee capital At the end of the year there was but two, and of these ours had thirds of the bus mess.

Walderman, who owned the Courier, joined with me in combining the Journal and Courier. Incidentally this led to the purchase of the old Louisville Dem ocrat, this publication losing its identity entirely. That is about all" The consolidation of the three pa- pers was the first of the great news paper combinations. It resulted in the first appearance of the Courier Journal. November 8, 1868.

 NATIONAL PRESS CLUB" 1
 London, December 22.-American Ambassador Harvey, commenting to- day on the death of Colonel Henry Watterson. said:
 The death of Colonel Watterson marks the end of marvellous Amer iean career, He was one of the most talented and versatile of men and a more loyal friend never lived. The loss to his country and to the thou | sands who loved him is immeasur- able"
 1 Henry Watterson was one of the last of the old time personal journal | ists. More than half a century his | editorials, with their brilliant, orig inal and phrase making composition. attracted wide attention. They were commented o9 and copied by the press of the nation. Besides his power in molding public opinion | through his editorials Watterson s influence is credited with having shaped the platform of the democratic party in more than one presidential campaign.
 It was perhaps through an accident that Henry Watterson pursued jour- nalism. Early in life he evinced un usual musical talent and his parents encouraged 1t. A mishap that crushed his left thumb. leaving that member stiff, caused the musical education to be abandoned, as the piano was his l faVorite instrument.
 A natural bent for writing devel oped but even in thls MT. Watterson was seriously handicapped as an ill., | ness inzinfancy had affected his Yis- ion. His first journalistic experience was gained on a Washington. D. C., newspaper as musical and dramatic critic. His father, Henry M. Waiter son, for 20 years preceding the out break of the War between the States, was a representative in Congress from Tennessee. It was during this time Henry Watterson lad the foun- datIons for an elaborate knowledge of national affairs, he spending much of his time associating with party leaders of that period and in close contact with the operation of the government.
 Outbreak of War
 watterson's course in letters and journalism in the national capital was interrupted just as he attained his majority by the outbreak of war. With his father, he opposed the se- cession movement, but upon the de- claring of hostilities, he returned to his Tennessee home, and joined the army of the Confectionery. He served throughout the war, except for per iod of 10 months, when he established and operated at Chattanooga, Tenn, the Rebel.' a semi military paper.
 MT. Watterson served first as an aide to the famous calavry leader, General Nathan Bedford Forrest, and later was on the staff of General Le- onidas Polk.
