Many impor tant matters were before the su preme war council comprising the council of the great powers and the military commanders on all fronts when it met today to consider pri marily the eitension of the armis tice with Germany which expires February 17. Although the Ana) decision went over until tomorrow the session was interesting from the number of subjects demanding at tention that were presented by the nival and military chiefs. Reports were made to the council by the military high command on the subject of demobilization and the relative forces of the powers to Da maintained in the occup od re gions. The Versailles military coun cil also submitted a report as to the military forces available for the dis turbed regions of Turkey. .The naval branch of the council presented recommendations formu lated as the result of consultations among" the British, French, Italian and American naval ' commanders bearing mainly on the turning over of the German submarines, block ade restrictions, and the surrender of the German commercial fleet. This fleet, it is said,, is ready to be turned over but the -allies thus far have not agreed on the allotment of steamers Binong the various al lied nations nor on the compensa tion for the use of the vessels. When an agreement is reached and the United States received Its ' share of the ships they will be man of thened by the American navy and ,ni r the Stars and Stripes, the initials of the relief council being added to the flag. "DAMENOFFIZIER" GERMANS SAY WHEN V. 8. ARMY COMES Paris, Feb. 9. The American army has women soldiers in the ranks, and not only women soldiers but women officers, leading United States troops. The Germans have seen the m with their own eyes. The alarming gains of the suffragists in America have long been known in Germany' and now the wildest re ports have been confirmed. "Dam enofflzier" are seen dally on the streets of occupied cities on the "Rhine. They had been marching on foot with the troops. These tales, it has been found, have their source at Coblenz and the explanation is a source of much amusement to " American officers.

BOARD MEETING AT ML Board of Directors of Chamber of Commerce to Have Import ant Meeting Tonight Mem bers Urged to Be The:e. A meeting of the board of direc tors of the High Point chamber of commerce will be held tonight promptly at 7.30 in the Commer cial club. The pressing necessity of all the members of the board of directors being present at this meet ing is much stressed by President J. J. Farriss. The meeting tonight is a very important on. The can vassers are to compare notes and check up to see jxactly how the finances of the organization now stand. Very little could be accom plished at the meeting last Wed nesday night due to the fact that so many of the directors were absent, and, as the president stated, it is absolutely essential to the success of the chamber that the board meetings b,e fully attended, espe cially while the organization is en deavoring to gain a steady footing and a firm financial backing. The officers of the chamber of commerce are anxious to have the machinery of the organization in working order by next Wednesday with a secretary installed at the heaquarters of the chamber. As the necessary funds have not yet been secured there remains much work to be done before next Wed nesday if the chamber is to start on Its active career in advancing the interests of the city of High Point at that date. The fund for the cham ber must be completed; the secre tary elected and a suitablo location for the offices selected. The presi dent urges that all the members of the board of directors lay aside all else for a few hours tonight., and attend this most important meeting of the canvassers.

Other General Objections Filed. Happenings in the Legislature:- (By W. T. BOST.) Raleigh, Feb. 8. Legislative committees ready to report on the transfer of the state department of agriculture from Raleigh to the college in West Raleigh are said to ! be almost unanimous in favor of J audi a change and not later than j Monday of next week this recom mendation doubtless will be made, i This removal will not take Mrs. Jane McKinimon to the Normal, a3 had been contemplated. It is well known that Dr. J. I. Foust, of the Normal, did wish to bring Mrs. Mc Kimmon's department up there and that Governor Bickett favored as he leaned to concentration (if all Btate institutions. But the city of Raleigh raised a row about it and there will be no more talk of that character. The legislature has no power of its own to send Mfs. Mc Kimmon awuy and as she hus ex pressed her own wish to stay here nobody can move her. Nobody wants to. She is a Ral eigh institution, beautiful spirit, equally beautiful singer and worker and Raleigh would light harder to keep her here than any single thing it has. Incidentally, the department! of agriculture is very mad at the governor who did not resolve all the issues in its favor. Raleigh will lose the state prison, it seems. The house Friday made a record vote for a state issue and every man In it cast a ballot in favor I of taking the prisoners to the state' farm, converting the present big building into an asylum for tho insane. j The central prison was regarded , prison was regarded It was In the late a fixture here nineties while the Republicans still were controlling the state that one of the bright party fellows declared that the Republicans were going to give Raleigh such a shake-up that nothing would remain here but Jo sephus Daniels, the penitentiary and the insane asylum. Daniels in re printing the manifesto simply head ed the article: "The Necessary Things to Keep Radicals Straight ! "Daniels has gone, the state prison lis about to go and in time theasy - Jinm will do double duty for Ral tion will be doubled. , : , ' Raleigh is now interested in tho: big fight for the Btate chairmanship of the Democratic executive com- mlttee. It seems to have passed out that j Thomas E. Cooper, of Wilmington, ' acceptable ' as he is," has 1 not ;',Ljeen noted for his support of Senator Simmons and the organization Is , undrestood to be somewhat against the Wilmington banker. Then Sen ator Overman is said to favor J. Dave Norwood, of Salisbury, an other banker, who isn't a Simmons nan. Solicitor Walter E. Brock has been in Raleigh several days re cently and lie is said to be the man wlio is most agreeable to Sena'or S mmons. Norwood is a kinsman of Kitqhin and although Senator Simmons isn't concerned for him self, his friends see to it that there is no hostile committee or chairman elected. The chief thought of Sim- ; nioiis men everywhere is how to j make the calling and election of Senator Simmons everywhere sure. ! They have round a way thus fa, and they keep themselves in prac tice. Mr. Cooper appeared to havo no ; opposition until this question crept into the factions. Ho may be elect ;ed still, but there is a fight, i Cameron Morrison, one of the candidates for governor, touching the chairmanship of the committee thinks there should be no though' I of these things riht now it's toe far away, he is quote. The evidence every day multiplies that Max Gard ner has the committee as well as the general assembly and a show-down might, cause trouble. Gardner has a long head and is playing politics well. Should Brock be named state chairman he would be nominally in favor of Morrison the two have lived in the same district. But Brock is more agreeable because of his regularity. He is one of the deli- cate pieces of Simmons machinery. Much interest attaches to the George Butler educational bill now before the house committee. The Butler bill is admittedly the Republican party's measure and is designed to put the Democrats in the hole, though its author, George Butler, makes as few changes as posfiihle. , He would distribute the special fund on a per capita basis f and after that has been done, the county commissioners making up - ;the balance, he would let the exam- - hners and the inside machinery of - ime onice remain unaisturbea Major Butler Is to come here, it is said, and to presenth is argument ;in favor of this bill. He also will attack the departmental bill. In that event there, would be some thing Interesting, for the major has a good deal more sense in public debatOnirTits rloni who puts the . Billy Sunday speech to his opponents. OF LOUIS PHILIPPE !"
