Decided To Hereafter To Issue Joint Communique Regard ing Proceedings Paris, Jan. 15. Hitherto it has been the practice of the governments taking part ii the preliminary peace confer ences, says a statement given out by the official- press bureau today, to is sue separate communiques regarding the proceedings. From today it ha been decided to is sue a joint communique of which the following is the English text adopted by the British and American delegations: "The President of the United States and the Prime Ministers and Foreign Ministers of the allied powers, assisted by the Japanese Ambassadors ia Paris and London, held two meetings today. Id the course of these meetings the ex- amination of the rules of the confer ence has been continued and almost completed. "It was decided that the United States, the British Empire, Fran, Italy and Japan ahould be represented by five delegates apiece. The British Do minions and India, besides, shall be represented as follows: . ,.,.. Two delegates, respectively, for Aus tralia, Canada, Soilth Africa, and India, including the native, Mates, and one delegate for New Zealand. - "Brazil will have three delegates. Belgium, China, Greece, Pound, Port gal, tho Czecho-Slovakr "republic, Hu mania, and. Herbia will have two dele gates apiece; Hum one delegate and Cuba, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Li beria, Nicaragua and Panama one dele- gaet apiece. Montenegro will have one delegate, but the rules concerning the designa tion of this delegate shall aot be fixed until the moment when the political situation in this country shall have been cleared up. ' i -v "The meeting adopted the following two general principles.: " One, each delegation being a unit, the number of delcgatea forming it shall hare bo influence upon its status at the conference. !, in" the seleetwm of its delegation each nation may avail itself of the panel system. This will enable each State at discretion to en trust its interests to such persons as it may designate. "The adoption of the panel system will in particular enable the Bri'ish empire to admit among itsflve dele gates representatives of the dominions, including New loundlanu, which has no' separate representation, and of India.- ' Seamaa Evolve Plan. l . Loa Jon, Jan. 13. In the absence-of a definite policy from the allies con cerning the manner in which Germany shall make compensation for the de? pendents of submarine .victims among seamen, the executive committee of the International Federation of Seafar ers has evolved a plan by which the officials hope to force the peace con ference to act. The committee has called an international conference in London on February 24 at which the British delegates will present a reso lution providing that tho seamen will not man any ships going or coming from an ... enemy country until the proper compensation is agreed upon. J. Havclock Wilson, president of the Intern ational-'SeamenV Vie, -said to the Associated Press today: .' ''It seems that the British statesmen and those of other nations' have been too buy to think of the seamen in preparing for the conference, so we will take the matter into our owa hands in the hope of emphatically bringing to the notice of the peace delegates the necessity for taking rare of onr people. "I have no doubt that the conference will adopt a resolution providing that no food shall go to Germany until these dependents are compensated.'' . The leaders of the seamen,, including Andrew Furuseth, of the. United States, expects that the February conference will adopt a universal wage scale.

To all practical purposes, the achievement of Mr. Small as chair' tnsa of the jmmittee ended with the passage of the bill this week. His col leagues asay well congratulate him oa his record. John Small has perma ently identified, his name With water way legislation in America. He has done much ta popularize an idea too often ludieruously referred to tvs the "pork barrel'' ia Congress. His efforts have been of a constructive nature in guaranteeing legislation that would de'-' velop the streams, creeks and rivers as inter-cooimunity, interstate and evea continental carriers of commerce. Appropriations for State. ' The rivers and harbors bill which has just passed the ir.use of Bcprcsenta tlves contains the following appropria' tions of interest to North Carolina: Iqtracnaatal waterway from Norfolk, Va., to Beaufort, 1750,000. The appro priations heretofore made are suffi cient to complete, that section from Nor, folk to Albemarle Bound and it ia esti mated that this, section will be fully completed to a depth of 12 feet daring the year 1919. The appropriation in the pending, bill wiU be-upended"" on that section from Alligator river to Pungo river, and also ia deepening to the project depth of 12 feet, that sec tion of the waterway from Neuee river to Beaufort. . This last section includes what is known as the Adams creek and Gore creek canal which was originally constructed only to a depth of 10 feet. The bill also carries an appropria tioa of 250.000. which will be ex pended in dredging Croatan Sound to a depth of 12 foet with a view of at fording a continuous depth of 12 feet from Norfolk to Beaufort by way of tho Croatan Bound -route, pending the completion of the projected route from Alligator river to Pungo river, and thence na uooso ereca io uay river. Neuso river receives an appropriation of $7,500 for maintenance. Beaufort harbor receives an appro priation of 43,500 for maintenance. Beaufort Inlet receives an appropria tioa of H,000 for maintenance. Cane Fear river at and below Wil mingtoa receives an appropriation of $100,000 for maintenance and further improvement. The following new projects adopted in North Carolina: were A prtjeet for Beuppernong river, car rying an appropriation ol bji.uuu. A project for Beaufort harbor, ear rviiiSlTt tiitiropritttioit of l00 i-- connecting Thoroughfare Bay and Cedar "A project for completing the channel Bay an appropriation of eViIOO. A project for deepening the bar at the mouth of Cape tear river from to 30 feet with an appropriation, of 398.625. A project for the northeast branch of the Cape Fear river with an appropria tion of 125,375. This project proposes a channel depth of 22 feet in the Northeast river from Hilton railway bridgeto a point 23-4 miles above the same. The rivers and harbors bill also pro vides for the re-examination and sur vey of the section of the intercoastal waterway from Beaufort to the Cape Fear, river. There, is already a favor able report for the construction of this waterway to a depth of seven feet. This depth is deemed insufficient. The project depth in the section from Nor folk to Beaufort is 1$ feet and a timi lar depth ia the section recommended through tho section connecting Chess peaks bay and Delaware river.' It is believed that the section from Beaufort to the Cape Fear should have a similar depth of 12 feet in order to standard ize the size of barges and steamers us ing the same. Pasquotank river, North Carolina, is also to have an examination and nurvey with a view to providing a depth up to Elizabeth City corresponding with the depth of the intracoastal waterway.

Mr, Hines, in a statement today, laid that - the railroad - , administration's function of financing necessary im provements as differentiated from the function of the current operato of railroads, "is the reason which will require -on early request for a- large appropriation. He , explained that capital expenditurea of railroads in 11118 and 1919 for extensions of lines, aew buildings, bridges, cars, locomotives and similar purposes, are calculated at about : 1,627,000.000, including .t:iflO,. 000,000, estimated necessary in 1919, and 41,227,000 authorized for. 191ft,- Of the authorized capital expenditurea budgets last year, only r,(l,0(K),fjoo was aetualljrused, and, 6S9,000,000 remained to be spent in This means that the railroad aditttnistration's program for railroad extensions and betterments in 1919 calls for outlay of 1 1,039,- 000,000 or three-times as much as was spent ' by all railroads annually for Several years before the war. In view of the approaching fifth Lib erty Loan eanpaigh officials believe rail.oada wou'd have considerable dif ficulty floating publicly sufficient se curities to pay for improvements which the roads and the railroad administra tion consider advisable tp bring the lines up to a high state of efficiency. For this reason, Director General Hines advocates, continuance of tile policy of government - assistance, regardless of whether Congress extendi tut period of Federal control, , , , TO ASK KRESS FOR $500,000,000 LOAN FOR ROADS When it looked like the House was going to have a dull session yesterday, Representative 8, Brown Shepherd, of Wake, threw into the hopper a bill to appropriate a quarter of a million dol- llar for aTnow 8tate Agricultural build ing without designating where it shall stand. Immediately . thereafter, Com missioner Graham prepared a copy of the report of a joint committee ap pointed at the 1917 session to inspect the present building and attached to it the architect's condemnation report. - The bill, if reported back to the House favorably, will certainly precipi tate, a fight for there is a pronounced sentiment at West Baleigh, tho home of the Agricultural and Engineering College, that the Agricultural-building belongs on the college campus. The sentiment is shared by some members of tho lower House who favor the mors because it would co-ordinate the work of tho college, the Experiment Station aad the agcacie of the United States Department of Agriculture which have their base on the campus. .The House was la session less than aa hour, the most of which was eonsum ed in announcing the appointment of twenty additional committees and ad' ditions to tea other already appoint ed.

The bill to provide for a new 1250,000 building for the Department of Agri culture yesterday started a renewal of a plan brought forth by the Bnleigh Chamber of Commerce for the State's exhibit it Madison Square Garden or at Atlantie City. The old building, it ha luggeited, might bo used as a per manent home for the exhibit, since the museum and all the offices would, of necessity, nave to be removed from the present building to tho new one. Increasing intcrcit has been ihown by North Carolinians in the proposal of Secretary licnman- that the State ar range an exhibit for the M.idiion Square Garden some time this fall. It has beca proven, aa an advertising prop osition, highly, beneflri.il In thf, . jf ruit growers of California and to other in dustrial associations of the nation 'that have employed it aa a medium of reach ing hoaio seekers and buyers. No State his ever attempted it but, it has been estimated that an exposition of North Carolina's soil and productivity would be seen by no less than six mil lion people, "if arranged at the New York Garden, and heralded by reason of the innovation to practically the en tire nation.' If Not State, Then Others? The proposal has not yet reached the stage where any definite scheme has been arrived at to cover the cost, which would be in the neighborhood of 173, 000,. Philanthropic North Carolinians have shown aa interest in the plan and the proposition may be ' made to the State to share jointly with private citi zens the cost' of putting it over.

These regit lations, however,- do not prevent visi tbrs from using the galleries. When it wa proposed that no bill or resolution after being laid oa the table shall be recalled escept by a two-thirds vote of the "elected membership of the Senate," Senator Connor was immedi ately upon his feet to protest, declaring that it ia manifestly absurd to give the Senate authority to repeal any law, by a majority voto while it cannot recall a measure except by a te.o:thirds vote, Senators Cowper and Brown agreed with him in his position.

Senator Ilaymore could set no good reason for making it two thirds of the elected membership, as senators could then by absenting them selves make it impossible to recall a measure.
