KITCHm EXPECTS SPECIAL SESSION FEEDING OF EUROPE FIRST BIG PROBLEM Bays He Hopes There Won't Be, But Thinks There Will. Believed Tfcat President Will Call Con. STress In Extraordinary Session After Peace I Declare. State News. By S. IU WINTERS Washington, Dec. 23 While disap proving ofrthe idea, Hon. Claude Kit , chin, chairman of the co.mmittee on ways and means, stated today that in his opinion there would be an extra session of congress. "I am afraid there will be an extra session of congress, but hope there will not be," was the phrase employed by Representative , Kitchin in a statement to. the .writer The "anticipated extra session will likely be called by President Wilson at ; the conclusion of the peace, conference. ? It is thought that the president will - go before congress and discuss the de liberations of the conference, and like wise talk about reconstruction plans. Senator Lee S. Overman has prepar ed a 'bill and will introduce it in the senate making proviskm for "th'e plac ing of Stanley Mitchell of Asheville on the retired list of the navy as an en sign. Mr. Mitchell is now stationed at the naval recruiting station at Denver, Colo. Representative Kitchin has received imany letters and expressions of com ' mendation from North Carolina relat ing to his attitude on government own ership of railways as carried exclu sively in this correspondence. His views were made known in a letter to Hon. William J. Bryan. Aubrey L.. Brooks, one of Greensboro's distin guished and progressive citizens, thinks the enunciation of Mr. Kitchin in opposition to government ownership interpreted the sentiment of North Carolina folks. Senator Simmons has taken up with the director of the census, Sam I Rog ers, the question of re-instatement of Samuel H. Walker of Wilmington, who resigned his position last February to enter the military service. Mr. Rogers has advised the senator that he has arranged to give Mr. "Wal ker a position at the rate of $3,29 per SEES AN INGREA SE D Wilson Considers It Now in a 4 Fair Way of Solution. President is Rounding; Up the Work He Expects to Dispose of Before Leaving on Bis Trip to England. Paris, Dec. 23.-(By the Associated Press) President Wilsons conferences today and tomorrow will virtually com plete the preliminaries he is expected to dispose of before going to England. They probably will lay the principal part of the groundwork for the actual peace conference. Mr. Wilson considers the most press ing of all problems before the entente nations in a way toward being solved. This is' the question of supplying food to the starving peoples of liberated countries. It now seems probable that the work will be handled principally by the United States through Herbert C. Hoover, American food administra tor. - Participation by the United States in various councils that have been hand ling food questions, matters of ship ping and the like is being gradually wound up, as American officials are trending toward the opinion that these are proper subjects for the considera tion of a league' of nations or at least of preliminary organizations which may precede it. Some of those who have been giving the subject close study say they would not be surprised if the real foundation of a league of nations were to be laid in co-operative arrangements between the United States and the allies for handling these fundamental questions. Mr. Wilson's address at Sarbonne on Saturday in which he again defined his conception of a league of nations at tracted closest attention from all pub lic men here. This is especially true of his statement that the war could never have occurred if the central powers had discussed it for a fortnight, and certainly not if they had been forced to talk (matters over for more than a year. The president's address has recalled that the United States while William diem.

An old enemy is with us again, and Aether we fight a German or a germ, a must put up a good fight, and not be raid. The influenza runs a very brief - teourse when the patient is careful, and Jf we keep the system in good condition tiated a dozen arbitration treaties, one of them with Great . Britain. These treaties bound their signatories to dis cuss their controversies for at least a year before proceeding to a declaration of war. An attempt was made to ne gotiate such a treaty with Germany, but the Berlin government refused to entertain it. It is also recalled the same idea, was once expressed in a. plan, for preserving peace pu forward by a group headed by Viscount. James Bryce, former British ambassador to the United States. There Is no official authority for the statement that. Mr. Wilson is thinking of the Bryan plan as one of the ele ments in the proposed macnlne for pre serving world, peace but. this reference to the plan in his Sarbonne speech has set public men. tcj-talking. t. ,-.. No announcement has been made as to how. f ar the "conferences between Mr. "Wilson, Premier Clemenceau, Pre mier Orlando and Foreign Minister Sonnino have gone, but French public men have declared their premier's talks with the president were entirely sat isfactory. It is also believed that Mr. Wilson has made substantial progress in his conferences with Italian statesmen. Cold Weather Grips Texas. Dallas, Tex.. Dec. 23. Texas tonight was in the grip o what the local weather bureau predicted would be the coldest weather of the winter. The thermometer, It was predicted, would drop to about 20 degrees in north Texas. ASSOCIATED PRESS CASE IS UPHELD (Continued From Pace One.) junctions against bribery of employes and the inducing of Associated Press papers to furnish news, but refused to restrain the. admitted practice of the defendant in systematically pirating news from bulletin boards and early editions on the ground that while the court was satisfied . this practice amounted to unfair trade, the legal question was one of first impression and an injunction should await the outcome of an appeal. Both parties appealed and the circuit court of ap peals not only sustained the injunction order issued, but remanded the case with directions to "issue an injunc tion also against any bodily taking of words, or substance of complainant's news until Its commercial value of news had passed away." The injunction as granted techni cally are temporary, but they remain in effect unless and until dissolved. ' If the International News Service de sires to; proceed further it may go into the district cwirt with a motion to dissolve and ask 'that the case be heard on its merits. .As virtually all essential' facts were admitted in the preliminary proceedings there would Ltondon, Dec. 23. -There will be ah increased demand for credit facilities during the reconstruction period and the ability of trade and industry gen erally to provide for its financial needs will depend largely on the amount of reserves it has been possible to accum ulate, says the report of the commit tee on the provision of financial facili ties for trade after the war, issued today by the ministry of reconstruc tion. . . - There are three main divisions under this heed, the report says. They are firms engaged upon work from a date soon after the beginning of the war, firms who became engaged oh war work at ' a later period and new firms created as a result of the enormously increased demand for war material. The chief financial difficulty, accord ing to the report, will be in connection with the third group. Uncertainty is the greatest detriment to industry and finance alike. To achieve . the reconstruction of trade and industry on sound financial and economic lines, the report contin ues, it will be necessary to establish a sound financial basis by means of an effective gold standard to check any undue expansion of credit and to take steps to reduce the inflation of credit to more normal proportions. The banks will be in a position to meet de mands for ordinary banking facilities. In order that enterprises of national importance may have the first call up on the available supply of capital it is desired to maintain for a period after the war supervision over new issues and over the export of capital. On the question ' of state aid to in dustry the committee reooonmends the formation of a committee: to deal with cases of hardships arising out. of con tracts for munitions. One of the larg est factors in the demand; for assist ance will be the necessity for- the re quirements of factories, alteration of machinery and . shortage in materials which will have to be met by increased financial facilities. The committee thinks that fears as to the ability of trade and industry to meet the financial needs during the re construction period have been exag gerated. In spite of the-Increased tax ation a very large rijcrtolber of, establ ished trades have been.&ble to accu mulate sufficient reserves for the needs of reconstruction. A Commenting on the , expansion of credit and paper currency, the commit tee says that whereas the total depos its at the banks of, the "United King dom, exclusive of the, Bank of England, at the end of 1913 amounted to 1,070, O0O.O0GF sterliag, the Amount of de posits 'now is nearly 700,000,000 ster ling. vv The. committee says " ft Is essential for the reconstruction of industry and commerce to impose restrictions as soon "as possible upon -the creation of additional credits by the restoration of an effective gold standard HERMAN STEtlNBERGER . DIES IN GREENSBORO By "W. M. GILMORE. Sanford, Dec 23.-This old war-torn, sin-cursed earth is in for several cycles yet, according to the view of President William "Louis Poteat, of Wake Forest, as expressed at the Sanford Baptist church Sunday night. Of course the learned professor did not speak dog matically on the subject, but ; in' hts opinion the- ''world is geared- up and oiled to run at. least one million years yet," notwithstanding tle opinion of the modern' prophetic faddists td the contrary. i ' "The World Crisis and the Christian Opportunity" was the theme of Dr., po teat's masterly address.' He declared that the redemption of society accord-' ing to the ideal of " Jesus is the new task that Christianity faces. Using" as a text the statement in the Gospel of John, made by Martha to sister Mary, "The Master is come and calleth for thee." Ir. Poteat pointed out sbme of the things the Master is calling on his followers today. ' He is calling them to self-sacriflce in th eministry to human need. He is sues a challenge to a new enthusiasm In evangelism, which is the basis of our hope for . social reconstruction. "You can't make a just society out of unjust material," said the speaker, "any more than you can build a good heuse out of rotten material. There is no way to make? the units of society good, except in the Christian way." It is not now legislation and new social machin ery, but new people, regenerated peo ple that are needed in the reconstruc tion of the world. There is a challenge to the spiritand the practice of co-operation between different bodies of Christian people to" promote the ends that are common to all. This does not mean a denomina tional merger nor the surrender of re ligious convictions, which are incon ceivable. President Poteat, who has had some recent experience with jmilitary affairs, took a fling at militarism, which he claims is going to be fastened upon our body politic in the near future, unless vigorous protests are registered against it. He expressed small sympathy for the League of National Defense, which he claimed was engaged in the spread of - national hate. "The propaganda for universal train ing is already organized and financed and operative. Is the war ended? If so, may be wrong," was his comment in reference to Secretary Daniels' recom mendation to congress that more bat tleships be built in 1919 than in 1918. In a recent apparently authorized" Washington correspondence the pro posed phenominal increase of the navy is jutified on the grounds that "only the biggest navy In the world would comport with the dignity of the great est nation of the world," which reduc ed to the simplest terms, declared the speaker," "'means that we require a gewgawat our breast, a feather in the national"' capi 'a feather of proper length.". Another task pointed out was the re sistance of - the spread of religious fads and superstitions, strained and phantastic interpretations of the ean cient prophecies, millennlalism-run-to-seed, etc. We are also to guard against low moral standards, consequent upon the new conditions. "Above all, we must preserve',our faith in the ultimate triumph of the Kingdom of God," de clared the speaker. Dr. Poteat spoke Sunday morning at Carthage in the interest of the Million Dollar Campaign for the Baptist schools of the state, receiving the assurance that the Baptist church of that place would raise its allotment for the en dowment fund.

The American meat paoking industry of today is the development of the best way to perform a national servioe. The function of providing meat had tolevelop accord ingly. Those men who first grasped the elements of the changing problem created the best facilities to meet it large packing plants and branch houses at strategic points, refrigerating equipment (including cars), car routes, trained organization, profitable outlets for former waste which became the natural, inevitable ehannels for the vast flow of meat across the country. If there were a better way to perform this necessary service, American ingenuity and enterprise would" have discovered it, and others would now be using it During 19i8, Swift & Company has earned a profit on meats (and meat by-products) of less than 2V2 cents per dollar of sales too small a profit to have any appreciable effect on prices. i Swift & (Company, U.
