TO DISCUSS SYSTEM OF HARD
SUEfACKD PCADS AT CONFERENCE
"iCHApX. .'.IIILLs 'Nov. 25. The North
Carolina Oood Jioads Association today
aaoujnced plan! for holding a good roads
sonf erence in Baleigh on Wednesday,
January 5, the opening day of the new
Legislature. To this conference will be
invited all members of the association,
of which there are now over 5,000, rep
resenting every county in the State;
members of the Legislature; all county
and road commissioners; representatives
-of boards of trade, chambers of com
merce, . Rotary and Kiwanis clubs,
women's clubs, motor clubs, automotive
trade associations, farmers unions, as
well as the public 'generally. The local
6tate highway committees of the associa
tion in the various counties will take an
.active part, , as they are in close touch
with local conditions and sentiment in
regard to the program for a State sys
tem of highways.
Indications now are that this will be
one of the greatest meetings not only in
numbers but in potential accomplishment
ver staged in North Carolina. Fully
ninety per cent of the people of the
State, realizing the importance of an
adequate transportation system in the
State's development, are ready and will
ing to pay for the construction and main
teaanee, of such a system. All they ask
is a fair deal ia raising and apportioning
the funds, efficiency in expending the
money, and protection of the investment.
It ia also being, realised that delay in
providing the necessary funds for the
rapid construction of a State .system of
aard surfaced reads will only retard the
Staters progress.
There will be but few set speeches of
the inspirational type at this conference

COMMITTEE MEETINGS
FEATURE TODAY'S SESSIO
Distinct Lines ' ' of ' Clearance
Are Making' Their Appear
ance.
GENEVA, Nov. 25. No meeting of
the assembly of the league of nations
was held today in order to give the
members full time for committee work
and it is possible there will be no ses
sion tomorrow. While some of the
committees are reported to be progsesa-
tng with unexpected speed, their prompt
decisions are thus far mostly for sure and
slow solutions.
GENEVA, Nov. 25. Committee meet
ings again featured today 'a session of
the assembly of the league of nations.
Several of these bodies, charged with ex
anunatidn of projects laid before the
assembly and the preparation of reports,
are believed to have nearly completed
work, and it is expected that debate
on their conclusions may begin in a few
days.
Distinct lines of cleavage seem to be
making their appearance at the meeting
of the assembly, delegates from the
smaller nations insisting that the coun
tries theyrepresent should play an in
fluential role in the work of the assembly
and the council of the league. Scandi
navian and South American representa
tives are prominent in the conversations
occurring at sessions of the assembly and
it is expected their leaders are planning
to take part in the debates which will
begin soon. :
Honorio Puyrredon, foreign minister
of Argentina, and one of that nation's
representatives, is one of the leaders in
demanding that smaller nations should
elect four members of the council of the
league and he seems to have the support
or a number of influential -delegations.
Swden, Norway and Denmark evidently
purpose to take to the floor of the assem
bly the Ight for amendments to the
covenant of the league. In addition sev
eral nations have taken decided views re
garding the economic blockade, the in
ternational court and mandates. The
proceedings of tie assembly, which are
at present really being carried on by
the committees may be considered as
merely preliminary to its real work,

Following yesterday's unsuccessful at

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. The navy
department has had no advices from

MINEOLA, N. Y., Nov. 25. Pro
pellers of '44 high speed airplanes fan
ned the air over Mitchell Field into va
rious cross currents early today in final
preparation for the "toe the mark" or
der scheduled to be given at 11 o'clock,
officially starting the dash for honors in
the Pulitzer trophy race. Every piece
of metal had been burnished, the wings
officially "preened" and inspected, and
tne engines tuned so that their spins
made only harmonious music in the me
chanicians ears.
For the first time in the history of
airplane racing, the plans called for si
multaneous starting of machines, in
stead of singly and racing against time,
as all such races heretofore have been
run. Arrangements were made to have
seven planes start at a time, seven suc
ceeding racers being kept constantly in
readiness to line up immediately follow
ing their predecossors . The triangular
Course, of seven, eleven and fifteen
miles legs is 132 miles in length, each
entrant being required to circumnavigate
the triangle four times.
The race also was eventful in that it
marked the first time for army and navy
pilots to vie with each other for aerial
supremacy.
Distinguished guests in great abund
ance were expected to be numbered a-
mong the spectators. Besides General
Pershing and Josephus Daniels, secretary
of the navy, the designers of all the
makes of machines entered in the race,
were expected to watch the performance
of their respective "creations. "
Planes of American. French. Italian.
Belgium and German make were entered'
as well as various typos of machines
from the United States army and nary.

blockade of Russia is favored by Pre
mier Leygues, he told the committee on

was released of all engagements toward
him. This country is sow feeding eGn-
eral Wrangel 's army out of humanity,
but would continue this work no longer
than necessary. . The premier said he was
not thinking of using that army in any
way, and incidentally anonunced that
half of General Wrangel 's troops were
now in Servia, where they were now being
reorganised.

address by Dr. Walter Simons, German
foreign minister, and declared he had
made an energetic protest to the Berlin
