The Inerna tional Conference on Safety of Life at Sea, which has been sit ting here since last November, is in danger of splitting on the same rock that wrecked the first international commission to set tle the Alaskan boundary dispute in 1899. In the boundary case the American, Canadian and English commissioners foundered on the question of arbitration, and the fame disturbing element men aces the fate of the present com mission. With the Panama tolls ques tion in mind. Great Britain has demanded that all disputes under the proposed convention and all violations of the shipping laws shall be arbitrated between the parties in dispute. c(vinbettert "America Always Wins" The French and German rep resentatives also opposed this plan on the ground that "Amer ica always wins her contest at that Tribunal thorugh the desire of the other nations to preserve peace and harmony with her." The French and l'elgian com mitteemen suggest a conciliation board, reserving to America the right to resort to the courts if the results of the board appear to be purposely or violently wrong This middle ground for a com promise now is under debate, but its progress practically is barred by the American opposition to the arbitration feature, and by the insistence of the United States delegates that any viola tion of the convention or treaty must be treated by the American courts as a violation of Amer ican law, and punished accord ingly.

A WORD OF EXPLANATION Mr. F.ditor: The notices published recently concerning the entrance of chil dren in school at this time of year senis to have been misUll derstou'T It is. very unfortunate if any of the good fathers of High Point thinks he is not allowed to send his child to school. I have only wished to dis charge what I believed my duty and responsibility to parents by saying that a child who ha never been to school before and who is entered into .school in the middle of the term does not get the chance he would get if start ed at the beginning of the next year. Hut because 1 think this, does not debar any child from school, and if any parent' differs from what I think, he has a per fect right to send his child re gardless of my opinion. The pa rent and 1 both have the interest of the child at heart, but we look at it from a different viewpoint. What I think and what the law allows arc (piite different, but because the law allows it docs not make it best for the child, The law allows many things which are not best for one, These arc public schools, and the parents pay the taxes, and all of them have a right to enter their children whenever they 1'ke. 1 do hope this makes mat ters clear, and if not 1 will be glad to talk over the situation with anyone who would like. Yours very truly, Thornwell 1 laynes, Supt. City Schools. Up till noon today there have been some fifty furniture buyers in all visit the mid-winter furni ture show. They all speak in the highest terms of the displays and for the future 6f the Exposition. The Car Company seems to be overloaded with work. The nice steel cars the company is build ing for Chicago are a credit to the South. We wish we had more room for this plant. Buy one of the J A. Newton farms tomorrow. HOUSE COMMITTEE GIVES HIM OVATION PRESI DENT'S LUNCHEON GUEST. Washington, D. C, Jan. 14. Mayor John Purroy Mitchel, at the head of a delegation of New York shipping men, today urged the H:t; and Harbors Commit tee of the House to recommend an appropriation of $13,000,000 to clear the Fast River channel of all obstructions .and dredge it to a depth sufficient to accommo date ocean-going vessels of large tonnage. M ayor Mitchel was given an ovation when he appeared before the committee. Hursts of ap plause greeted him time and again. He told the committee of the plan for relieving the con gested condition of commerce in Xew York harbor. He said the idea was to mov e the smaller ves s N up ihe river and reserve the water;r nt of lower Manhattan i'nd Brooklyn for vessel, of deep ii aught. lie alined that every foot of .vater front from the Battery northward could be utilized if the refuse and rocks were remov ed from the channel. He said the .-ub way tubes to connect Brook lyn and Xe wY'ork are to be built directly under Coenties reef, and unless the Government take steps at once to blast out this reef it could not be done with out damage to the tubes. When the improvements pro posed by the Mayor are made, he said, battleships and vessels drawing thirty-five feet of water will be able to leave the East River through Long Island -ound, or by the lower bay, and in the event of a war the Sound would be of immense strategic advantage to the Navy. o W.
