INFLUENZA THE REASON yTs Feared Epidemic "Would Be Given - - Impetus Because Of Crovrds That " . y X Would Cather In the Stuffy 1 . ' Capitol Building. By W. J. MARTIN. Raleigh, Dec; 14. The tenacity with l'which the influenza epidemic is cling-i ' , Ing to Raleigh in spite of the "best ef- ; forts of the medical profession and the municipal authorities, and the news , that comes here from other sections i of the state indicating similar condi- ; tions in, numbers of communities is stirring serious discussion of the out i'.ook for the session of the general assembly scheduled ' for January and -I February. General comment stresses the fact that every session of the legis lature there are numbers of deaths . from pneumonia and kindred sickness V; due to numbers of citizens generally Bitting long hours in the heated capi- jtol building and passing out into the -cold damp and dank January and Feb 'j ruary weather conditions that are most generally bad. This time, it is feared that with the ! addition of the general influenza in : f ection most serious conditions will ; develop that may cost the state the 'lives or effective health of very many -of her representative citizens. The re i eult is that serious discussion is de veloping" that in addition to the aidvis- ability of leaving important construc ' tive legislation desired until after the " - world and national peace conditions ; are settled there is the further impel , ling force of this, influenza condition to really necessitate at most a week - - r fortnight session of the legislature ' With recess to Me spring or early nummer for the really serious and con , ltructivd legislation.. : . The suggestion is that, these state wide bills could be introduced at the " January session and then left in the - - hands of committees until the adjourn ed session. Any urgent local or state- fride legislation either could be pass ed at the January session, they say, nd in this way no Interest could suf fer and there would be gained the more .- "nature consideration of the more im portant bills and the safeguarding of ' the health of the members of thous ands of business and professional men who are necessarily brought here all through the sessions by the varying 'nterests in the legislative grind. The situation is really considered by many thoughtful citizens as most seri ous and the need for the suggested re cess session in the spring or early summer imperative. This cotrrse is ' being taken in numbers of states this winter, both on account of the epi demic conditions and because of the fact that the short session with longer legislative enactment session after time for consideration of the proposed legislation is coming into general favor. , ARMY OFFICER IDENTIFIES BODY AS THAT OP HIS WIFE Columbus, Ga., Dec. 14. Maj. H. P. Perrine, stationed at Fort Benning, to day identified the body of a woman found in the Chattahoochee river near Sneads, Fla., last Wednesday as his wife. After the identification a coro ner's Jury at Sneads rendered a ver dict that Mrs. Perrin's death was the result of a blow on the face, struck by unknown - persons. Mrs. Perrine disappeared from Co lumbus on the afternoon of November 18. She 4eft home saying she was go ing to fill an engagement for a golf match. Mrs. Perrine was a writer of short stories and had traveled extensively.

One cablegram from Hale at Berlin to the New York American, read to the committee, was interpreted by Captain Lester as proving that the German government did not regard the notorious Zimmerman note, disclosing a movement to involve Mexico and the United States in war "as a frame up by the British."

When thisv message was received it brought Joy to the ' hearts of two American officers who. were prisoners on the Deutschland, U-1S3, having been picked tip after the American cargo ship Ticonderoga was sunk. They were ? Lieutenant F. L. Muller, of Oakland, Cal., and Lieutenant J. H. Fulcher. of Frisco, N. C, and were in the submarine when she made her last voyage into Kiel.

(British Wireless Service.) A giant Handley-Page air plane, carrying six members of the royal air force,, started from the air drome near Ipswich at. 9:30 o'clock last night and headed across the chan nel for France on a flight to Karachi, India, and thence to Delhi. The craft ran into a bank of thick fog, however, and was compelled to make av landing on the French coast. The journey, it is announced, will be continued. The distance to Delhi is something more than 5,700 miles. This machine was originally assign ed to bomb Berlin. It measures 127 feet from wing tip to wing tip and weighs, with fuel and passengers, about 27,000 pounds. It can make 80 miles an hour and can carry 1,200 gal, Ions of petrol, sufficient for a flight of nearly 16 hours. SOUNDS "TAPS" FOR VOLUNTEER SYSTEM (Continued from Page One.) required number of volunteers be- came apparent. "After 17 months of war had witnes sed the disastrous fighting at Oalli poli, Mesopotamia and the Balkans and the deadlock on the western front," he declared, "the new army of Eng land was 1,700,000 men short of its then authorized strength. x The volunteer system was now to be abandoned, he went on, after "it had throttled the industrial life of the nation and undermined the whole economic structure." When the United States war depart ment, to heed the lesson learned by England, sought the enactment of the selective service act. General Crowder said that the traditional method of raising armies by. the volunteer sys tem was so strong with the Ameri can, people that it was "deemed ex pedient in the very bill the war depart ment presented to congress for enact ment to provide that limited volunteer ing might go on.'1' He recalled the great opposition to the draft and how "through the Insistence of the presi dent, ably supported by the stalwart and aggressive leadership of Senator Chamberlain and Representative Kahn in the respective houses, the day was saved." Referring to the selective service system as "the. very essence of demo cracy," the general appraised the faults of the volunteer system. "In its very nature it is an Indivi dualistic scheme dependent for its ex istence upon the spontaneous fervor of the people," he said. "It is a system which; has an eye only to the raising of arthe. Under 4it the test of ?pat riotisni -4s .enlistment in the nation's flghtkigtorces. It takes no account of the industrial which must be main tained behind the battle front. "It (the volunteer system) had its origin in the days of chivalry when war was hot a business or a contest of industry or mechanics bat a battle of brawn when armies could live large ly upon the country as they aavancea and a nation's fate decided upon the field of battle." HALF THE POPULATION OF PARIS TURNS OUT ' (Continued from Page One) Premier Clemenceau. This compari son makes the use of further phrases unnecessary. It is enough to say that Paris lavished in It all its fire and heart." The Journal des Debate says: "The. population of Paris showed it self the prodigal of enthusiasm. This is because the voyage of President Wil son is a unique event in the history of the United States rnd has signifi cance that is well understood." WILSON ACCEPTS INVITATION TO PAY VISIT TO ENGLAND London, Dec. 14. (By the Associated Press.) President WilSon has accept ed an invitation from King George to visit England and it is expected he will stop here on his way home. The British officials have been awaiting the ar rival of a Mr. DaVi before making any arrangements for the entertain ing of the president. REALLY, A HUMANE U-BOAT COMMANDER?

His Forthcoming "Card" May Compre hend Activities of State Newspaper Correspondent, Presumably. One Tarn Bost of ( Raleigh. x By S. R. WINTERS. Washington, Dec. 14. When Camer on Morrison returns from Washington to h4s home in Charlotte, he will shortly thereafter issue a statement announcing his candidacy -for' gover nor of North Carolina Sis formal announcement will -be of atformldfiiblS character and to employ a- phrase of. one of his Washington friends, "The fighting proclivities of Cam" 'will be reflected in the appeal that has for its goal a stated period of residence in a mansion located in Raleigh. The forthcoming "political card" of the .distinguished Charlotte cltizen will not be ' hinged on contingencieis. He will make the race despite the number of entries of candidates having similar ambitions. That Mr. Morrison has had gubernatorial aspirations for some time needs' no substantiating evidence However, his formal declaration to make the race has not been hastily shoved on the public. He stated some months ago to this correspondent that should the world war so, shape the fortunes of some pop ular North Carolina idol as to make him executive timber, he would take down hi 8 flag and withdraw from the prospective race. The announcement of Mr. Morrison will doubtless carry, a punch. For a quarter of a century or more he has Btumped the state for democratic party and his activities have been marked by an aggressiveness and vim that none can gainsay. The memorable cam paign of 1898 and 1000 still reverabate as events of recent moment. A fore cast of the formal announcement of the Charlotte citizen would indicate that he will direct an appeal to the "alumni" of these campaign days rather than enlist the co-operation of .the alumni of educational institutions. His platform" will suggest pblicies for a continuation of the progressive ad ministration of Governor T. W. Blck ett.. Indicentally, he will likely make al lusion to a certain newspaper corres pondent in North Carolina, whose po litical gossip his friends claim, has purposely put forth effort to smother his candidacy for the governorship. The writer passes this on to -North Carolina newspaper readers as a pos sibility. Mr. Morrison may decide to Ignore such bickerings as mere gossip that does not warrant notice. He at tributes the source of the newspaper gossip to a correspondent whose party fealty at least can not denominate him as spokesman for the democratic party. METHODISTS LAUD PRESIDENT'S WORK (Continued from Page One.) show as much advancement as this de partment. The report was adopted. Rev. N. H. I. Wilson moved that such an amendment be made in the charter of the conference- board of trustees so as to allow an equal num ber of ministers and laymen on the board. The motion passed. Hon. J. G. Brown introduced the fol lowing resolution which was passed by an 'unanimous rising vote: "Whereas, the great war unparallel ed in human history and far reaching enough to shake the whole of civiliza tion to its foundation has been fought and won and the representatives of th, nations of. the world are now in conference, preparing universal and perpetual peace and, 'Whereas, in the world conference as in the midst of the great conflict, one figure stands out as the courage ous and wise spokesman of the courses of the people of the earth. "Therefore, Resolved, first, that the North Carolina conference of the Methodist Episcopal . church, South, hereby puts on record the expression of its high appreciation of the wise and statesman-like manner in which President Wilson directed the affairs of our country and the masterly man ner in which he has directed our re lation to the allies in matter pertain ing to the war. "Second, that we are gratified at his personal presence at the peace conference in France now considering the future relations of the countries of the world with eac hother. "Third, that we haye unbounded confidence in. his wisdom and that we cheerfully commit to his hands the destiny of our nation and the leader ship which so clearly devolves upon him in this world crisis, ' v . "Fourth, that we pray for him the blessings and guidance of Divine Providence and the same clear head and steady hand which has heretofore characterized his administration of the nation's affairs. "Fifth, that the secretary . . .of the conference furnish the president with a copy of the resolutions bearing the signature of the presiding bishop and himself." Just before time for the adjournment of the conference session today Bishop Darlington called the class of the second year to the- altar and delivered the address customarily delivered up on the reception of young - men Into full connection. The class is composed of .the following: D. JE. Earnhardt, B. F. Boone. W. I Loy, Guy Hamilton and W. B. Humble. After prayer the bishop reminded the . young, ministers of the fact- that hitherto they had heen on trial, but nothey had oome to the -parting of the ways. He expressed the fervent wish that they might be whoUy conse crated to the. service of God. ' Never before had there been such a demand for consecrated men. 'Never before was there such a demand for , Holy Ghost filled men. If, a, minister holds on to the world with, one hand and the ross with the oth,er he is likely to make a failure. The bishop insisted that the Questions -which were to fol- Jow were serious questions arfdought to be answered seriously or not at all. If there is to be a half-hearted faith in Christ and the. power of his blood there- must necessarily- he a half-hearted theology. Only a man wwse srna, are forgiven can have the proper, the ology. ' . V .. ' s - - s - ' . The bishop Insisted . that It was net cessary that a man have a . desire " for perfection. Others might not consider a man's character perfect but the- heart must yearn? for' perfection. Only when a " man- surrenders himself wholly ?to God can he -become- & great- preacher.

' He further denounced a secularized ministry and decried the habit f hav ing itching palms that reach out for money even t the expense of defen eration, to selling sewing machines or dealing In real estate. Such work ts honorable but it is not the work of the ministry. Bishop Darlington stress ed simplicity and power in preaching. No man is.agreat preacher until he preaches simply enough for children to understand him. Some preachers are like the aurora borealis beautiful but no warmth. Some preaehers are "like the minister "who after four years work in one charge, was known as the man who wore a high' collar and made his flock study a dictionary.1 The best preachers are those who. 'hold men be fore ' the judgment; make them eon scious of their need of forgiveness and hold up a'.forglving Savior to ihem. .
