Said one: - "Although Woodrow Wilson was born In Virginia and Virginia ls by consent of geography, sentiment, his tory, and every other darned thing one can i name, a Southern state, it re mains for a writer in The New York Sun to pen the following:" 'It make me tired to hear Mr. Wil son called a "Southerner," a "Virgin Ian." Mr. Wilson was born In Virginia, but of Pennsylvania parents, who had been living only a few year in Vir ginia when little Thomas Woodrow was born, so that there Is no sense In calling him a Southerner, "because Pennsylvania stood most staunchly op nosed to every shibboleth of the South.' , "By this reasoning a person born In the State of Pennsylvania not a Northerner. There would be no sense in calling him a Northerner.' "The Sun could find better u.e for Its space than by publishing such idiotic rot. Wilson, having been born in Virginia will go down In history as a Southerner as he will the great est of presidents." ' London Wants Statae of President Wilson to Put With Statues of Washington and.

"London is to add to this tribute of nations by ask ing the President to permit a status of himself to be erected In that city withi those of Washington and Lin coln. Lord Weardale, at a luncheon in honor of former U. S. attorney general, added at the conclusion of the luncheon that the war could not be better marked than by asking President Wilson to permit a statue to be made of himself and erected simultaneously with those of Wash ington and Lincoln in a prominent place in London." rC Safe Oversesa.

"Won't you have a drink?" asked a woman in n drug store yesterday of a widely known preacher who came in. 'No, thank you,' he said. 'I never drink between meals. A college mate of mine used to say that he never studied between meals because it spoiled his appetite.' " i Tho Word "Old." "English-speaking people alv.ays say 'good old' this, or 'good old' thru, when wishing to exalt any special time, sea son, period, permn or place," quoth one yesterday. "Have you ever not'eed how much this expression is used?

Planned Conference With Mayor. at Committee Leaves Today to Ask Secretary Lane to Deliver ; Oration Meet Wednesday. A worklngv organization to prepare for a great clebration here December 8 of Britain day, at the City AudU torium, was developed yesterday aft ernoon during a conference Mayor McNlnch held with a number of Char lotto citizens native of England and Canada. .David Ovens was named chairman of the committee to make preliminary arrangements for the cel ebration and a definite organisation will be perfected at a 'meeting next Wednesday morning at U o'clock. . P. F. Haddock and W. A Wheatley, secretary of the Charlotte, war camp community service, were named as a committee. to go today to Washington to extend to fcYanklln K. Lane, secre tary of the interior,, an Invitation to deliver the' address of the occasion. It was agreed, after extended discus sion, that a nationally known Amrl: can or some public official oi Can ada would be sought as the orator. The conference decided to .first at tempt to secure the presence of Sec retary Lane because It .was under stood by the conferees that he jwas a native of Canada. Messrs. Haddock and Wheatley were also charged to ask the British embassy to permit British army and navy officers to par ticipate in the celebration. Tentative arrangements also were made for a .banquet Saturday night, December 7, which ls the nationally designated Britain day, when infor mal addresses will be made by a num ber of leading North Carolina and Charlotte "men. Another detail of the plan was to bring to Charlotte that day a singer of British birth and International note, if one could be contracted with. Other arrangements for musical features ot the celebration were roughly mapped out. That the Englishmen by birth in Charlotte, are willing to. spend "a lot of moaey" to make this "a real cel ebration" was evidenced by their promises to provide the funds in con tributions of hundreds of dollars. It was decided that the maximum amount to be paid the linger would be $2,500. Mr. Wheatley informed the conference that the war camp community service probably would be willing to contribute not more than J500 toward payment of the expenses of the occasion He also expressed a willingness to commit the war camp community service to the responsibil ity of securing a speaker and the City Auditorium. After the adjournment of the con-, ference, Messrs. Haddock and Wheat ley were asked to visit the British embassy and endeavor to secure its ossstance In carrying out their mis sion to Washington. From this em bassy and from the American gov ernment a request for the loan of ap propriate flags for decorative pur poses will be made. This conference- was held by the mayor as a result of receipt of a re quest frOm Alton B. Parker, national chairman of the Britain day celebra tion movement, at New York, that Charlotte participate in the celebra tion which will be nation-wide. Dur ing the conference, the mayor an nounced he would immediately tele-) graph the national headquarters that j "Charlotte will celebrate." The mayor declared that "This city cannot ex-1 oggerate by any celebration the debt I we owe to Britain." In the interim before Wednesday, a list of the names of ail Charlotte men natives of England or British provinces will be, compiled and all these will be expected to attend the general conference Wednesday morn ing. - I Those attending the conference, be sides Mayor McNlnch were J.H.Hayes Paul F. Haddock, Peter S. Gilchrist, . David Ovens, Capt. William Ander- J son, R. D. Thomas, David Clark and W. A.
