PariB, Dec. 19. After tour aaya
of gathering views of leaders in
(France, President Wilson's closet
advisers say he has no reason to
change his belief that the founda
tion of a league of nations is insepa
rable from the actual treaty itself.
These advisers say that the Presi

King Emanuel, who is expected to
arrive on Thursday already has been
fully advised of the Presidents plans
through conferences with Count Dl
Cellere, Italian Ambassador to the
United States, but the President will
take the opportunity to make per
sonal explanations to the King.
The hope Is expressed by those
surrounding the President that the
exchanges of views will clear away

Wilson's attitude and prepare the

Paris, Dec. 19. The American
delegates to the peace conference
have resolved to advocate the sink
ing of the surrendered enemy war
ships and resist any proposition to
distribute them on the basis of naval
losses. This announcement is maue
hv those in close touch with the Am
erican representatives who, it is add
ed, fell that such a position wouia
result in avoiding contention and
materially support President Wil
son's declaration that the war was
not based on agression or the acqui
sition of property.
England, through Sir Eric Geddes
first lord of the admiralty, had pre
viously acquiesced in the American
nlnn to destroy the captured or sur
rendered warships, and it is declared
will continue to support the United
States, although it is expected that
some of the lesser naval powers will
demand that the prizes be distribut
ed.

Mr. J. M. Poole of Black Creek re
quests us to reproduce this article
in the Times. Answer is on edito
rial page:
As to Farmers' Union
To the Editor: I see in your is
sue of December 13 a report of the
Farmers' Union convention, held in
Wilson, December 11 and 12, head
ed in large type "Palitics Swamps
the Farmers Union, Butler Repub
licans in force Backing Alexander
Machine, etc."
The whole report is very mis
leading, and the greater part un
true. I must say that I am surpris
ed that the News and Observer
which claims to have the largest cir
culation of any daily paper in the
State, and a very prominent paper,
should give as much prominence as
you have to such a scurilous article
about the farmers' organization
which has by far the largest mem
bership in our state, or any other
farmers' organization, at the time so
much depends on the organized ef
fort of the farmers. Every unbiased
thinking person, I don't care what
his politics may be, knows the in
tention of the article was to discred
it the Farmers' Union, as a farmers'
organibation, and prejudice if possi
ble, the membership and farmers
who are not members, by partisan
appeal, the very thing that has been
and is now holding back progress
along all lines of endeavor towards
co-operation, which is so essential
for the common good of our own
country and all of the world at the
present time.

A German mine which had been

cording to a Guise despatch to the

Washington which sailed from
France December 15th, announced
by the war department, are the fol
lowing units: 139 Forst artillery,
battalion's A, B. D. E., Headquarters
companies of the 137th field artil
lery corps and the officers of the
138 Field artillery and a number of
the casuals.
The government accepted your
pledge in good faith and spent the
. ... , .,, . . i money to bring the war to a close,
you claim, will be copied no doubt ! now tne rnment 1b counting on
by every partisan daily and weekly ' you t0 buy the BtAmB-
in the State. I have already seen
the "me to" in the Wilson Times.
Thus before the new officers can get
organizzed and start the work, they
are attacked by the press, which
confirms what Dr. Alexander said
about the press, that it is controlled
by special Interests who are very
much opposed to a farmers' organi
zation. The Farmers' Union guarantees
perfect political and religious liber
ty, and no good union man ques
tions another's politics or religiion
to hold office in the union, and just
why the partisan polititical papers
are so interested and fearful about
the politics of the members of the
Farmers' Union and who they elect
as officers, I can not understand, un
less the editors are fearful that the
union will educate the farmers to
some things that would cause them
to take action to protect themselves
from the advantage that is being
taken of them by the fellows whom
you Beem to especially represent.
No, ffir. Editor, the union is not
heading for the rocks; we are going
to travel in the middle of the road
on our broad platform of even-hand
ed Justice to all people. The farm
ers are not asking for charity or es
pecial privilege, but we are entitled
to Justice, and we are going to or
ganize nnd co-operate to get it,
knowing that is the only way.
Ye editors may shout Alexander
machine and Butler Republicans,
hpt the farmers are going to elect
whom they please for officials of
their organizations and are not go
ing to be dictated to by the big gun
editors of the large dailies nor the
popgun "me to" editors who copy
from you and yours. And if we have
any dlsgruntaled members who
think more of their partisan politics
than they do of the great principles
and work of the Farmers' Union, let
him bump his head against the rocks
of the profit-taken until he learns
sense enough to be loyal to his or
ganization and co-operate with bis
brother farmers for self-protection.
Now, r. Editor, if you are a fair
minded man and want to be just to
the great producing class who feeds
you, you will publish this article and
give it as much prominence as you
did the one to discredit the farmers'
organization, and the small fry "m
to" editors will copy if they have
any degree of fairness and Justice
in their make-up. I wish to state I
was one of the delegates from Wil
son county. I am a Democrat,
were the other three; always
voted the straight ticket, am a
scriber to your paper and have
for some time. We all voted for
Alexander and W. R. Dixon.

Mcintosh of the Co-operator, a weej
