WINTERS. "- Washington, Dec. 21. Second As sistant Postmaster-.iGeneral Otto Prae ger absolves the 'postoffice dpeartment from any blame for .tardiness in mail destined for Wilmington and other points by shifting responsibility to the military 'authorities; "I have the . honor to inform you that the transportation and delivery of mail to the soldiers in France as well as the collection of mail for de livery in the United States, are now being effected by the military authori ties," writes the second assistant post master general to Senator Simmons. R. D. Cronly, of Wilmington, secre tary of the Atlantic CoaBt Lane com pany, had registered complaint against the- economy program of Postmaster General A. S. Burleson. He attributed the tardiness "of overseas mail destin ed to North Carolina fathers and moth ers to a penny-wise policy of the post office department. The North Carolina senator transmitted the letter of Mr. Cronly to the postal authorities. The response thereto follows: "All the mail from the American expeditionary forces in France upon Its receipt by the postal- services at tfte port of embarkation in France, is promptly dispatched to this .country by every available steamer, and upon Its receipt In the United States is for warded without delay for delivery to the addressees. In this connection, I may add that three despatches of mail from the American expeditionary fotfees in France were received in this"country -on thift 12th, 13th and ,16th distant, that arriving on the 12th comprising approximately 1,000,000 letters, and over 14,000 pieces of parcel post; that of the 13th comprising approximately 1,395,000 letters, and 89,000 pieces of parcel post, and that of the 16th com prising 3,837,000 letters and , 149,000 pieces of parcel post."

Paris, Dec. 21. In presenting to President Wllsot the insignia-and di plom of docto) In th j? name of the University of Paris, Vice Itector lii cien Polncare said: "History will recount now, taking lnsnratWn fnbrn the American people and your own thoughts, you reached one .glorious day, the decision which .is one. of the greatest events recorded In the war and, in your own words, placed the blood and all the power of America at the service of the princi ples which have given her life. History will also tell how you have sought to realize the imperishable supremacy of right by means of an association of peoples which should liberate the world." M. Polncare paid honor to American university professors for the unfailing sympathy they have shown for France and also to the American students who in such great numbers came to fight be side their French student comrades. "Many, alas!" M. Polncare continued, "will not return to their beloved coun try, for they have fallen in France, where, we trust, they felt they were not on a foreign soil and where they have left to the youth of the two re publics an immortal example of frater nal union. "Glory to these America! students! Glory to the eminent professors of their universities! And glory to you, Mr. President, the first American among them all!" 1 President Wilson in acknowledging the honor bestowed upon him by the University of Paris eaid: "I feel keenly the distinguished hon or which has been conferred upon me by the great University of Paris and it is very delightful to me to have the honor of being inducted into the great company of scholars whose life and feme have made the history of the University of Paris a thing admirable among men of cultivation in all parts of the world. "By what you have said, sir, of the theory of education which has been fol lowed in France and which I have tried to promote in the United States. I am tempted to venture upon a favorite theme. "I have always believed that the chief object of education was to awak en the spirit and that inasmuch as a literature whenever It has touched its great and higher notes was an expres sion of the spirit of mankind, the best induction Into -education was to feel the pulses of humanity which had beaten from age to age through the universities of men who had penetrated to the secrets of the human irit. "And I: agree with the intimation which has been conveyed today that the terrible war through which we have just passed has not been only a war- between nations Jut that it has been also a war between 'systems and culture the one system, the aggres- i sive system, using science without con science, stripping learning of its moral restraints and using eery faculty of the human mind to do 'wrong to tire ' whole race; the other system, reminis cent of Jthe high tradition otmen; remi niscent of all their struggles, some of them obscure, but others closely re vealed to history... or men of." indomi table spirit everywhere struggling to wards the right and seeking above all things else to be free. "The triumph of freedom in this war means that that spirit shall now domi nate the world. There is a great wave of moral force moving through the world, and every man Vrho opposes himself to that wave will go down in disgrace. . ' "The tasl? of those who are gathered here, or will presently . be gathered here, to make the settlements of this peace is greatly simplified by the fact that they are the rna$ters of no one; they are the aervants of mankind. And if we do not . heed the mandates of mankind, we shall make ourselves the most conspicuous and deserved failures in the history of the world." "My conception of the league of na tions is just this that It shall' oper ate as the organized moral force of men throughout the world and that whenever or wherever wrong and ag gression are planned or .contemplated, this searching light of conscience will be turned upon them and men every where will ask: 'What are the pur poses that you hold in your heart against the fortunes of the world?' ; "Just a' little exposure will settle most questions. If the central powers 'had dared to discuss the purposes of th-s war for a single fortnight, it never would have happened. And if, as should be, they were forced to discuss it for a year the war would have been inconceivable.- "So I feel that tfyis war is, as has been said more than once ' today, inti- Margin Over 1 ' Retail, Ch'g. & Del.

The university 'spirit is-Intolerant of all the things ' that put the human mind under restraint. It. is intolerant of everything that seeks to retard' the advancement oY ideals, the acceptance of the .truth, the purifica tion of life. And every university man can ally himself with the forces of the present time with the feeling that now at last the spirit of truth, the spirit to which universities have de voted themselves, has prevailed and Is triumphant. ','If there is one point of. pride that I venture to entertain, it is that It has been my private privilege In some measure to interpret the : university epirit in the public life of agreat na tion, and I feel that in honoring me today in this unusual and .conspicuous manner you have first- of all honored the people whom I represent. The spirit that I. try to express I know to be their spirit and in proportion as;I serve them I believe that I advance the cause of freedom. x "I wish to' thahk you, sir, from the bottom of my heart for a distinction which bias in a singular way crowned my apademic career." .

"If the committee doesn't stop him I will take my own way of d6ing it," be said. Chairman Overman said he ' believed the reply was improper and Mr. Becker again apologized. Senator Reed asked Mr. Becker fur-? ther about a statement given out joint ly by Attorney General Lewis nd Mr Becker dealing with a dinner given in honor of William Randolph HearBt by Bolo Pasha. Mr. Becker said Mr. Hearst's Indignation at that statement was the beginning of a suspicion in his mind that there might be a con nection between Hearst and Bolo Pasha. "That statement coupled with the factt, hat Hearst lied when he said he had met Bolo only once, when the statement of hi8 own employe showed that he met him at least three times, right then was born in my mind the Impression that there might be some thing wrong." Senator Reed asked the witness if he stood by his statement that Mr. Hearst lied about the Bolo Incident. Mr. Becker replied that . he would change the reference to a statement that Mr. Hearst told something that was untrue because, he said, a lie im plies an Intent to tell what was not true. ?
