NAVY IS SEEKING TO CONTROL sic
WIRELESS; BIG FIGHT COMING
H{
Washington, Dec. 6.?A big bat- $3
tie for navy control of wireless plants at
in peace time is about to open. Hear- ga
ings will start December 12 before Di
the house merchant marine commit- pr
tee on a bill to take over all stations.
The fight lies largely between th
the navy department and the Ameri- H<
can Marconi company. to
But, behind the American com- ei*
pany apparently stands the British
Marconi company?subsidized by the
British government. The American ^
Marconi company has sold the navy
its ship-to-shore stations, but re- ^3
Aains its grasp on four high powered
stations. Two of these on the At- sa
:tic have not been used, but ap- s
"ently are part of a plan to ere- a
ate a wireless link between England co
and the United States so as to join Pe
up with wireless to the far east.
.Captain Todd, hea dof naval com- Wi
1 .jxwnication, who will conduct the t0
main fight for the navy, believes it P1
absolutely essential that the navy, ^
get control gf all the stations, in- .t
eliding a dozen not under Marconi 01
control.
Else, he maintains, the big merchant
marine we are building will C:
suffer, along with commercial busi- te
ness, through the "static interfer- te
ence" between competing, uncon- ai
trolled stations. - Y,

More than 4,000,000 knitted articles
have been distributed among the B
training camps in this country . by w

ON GREENVILLE STREET.
Something is happening on Greenlie
Street all the time. Just now
e are building the new sidewalk or
>wards the High School, but that is
of what we have in mind. We are
linking now of real happenings.
Je had one of these Thursday mornlg.
It happened this way: Mrs. W.
White has the flu, and so has the
retty young lady of the house-hold,
ttle Miss Edna White. Mrs. Gor
on White, who has a sympathetic
ar for neighborhood misfortunes,
lought to soften things in the dining
oom end of the afflicted house-hold..
r> she arose early and cooked a good|
reakfast for the sick as well as the
rell. Col. White, her husband, who
n<? to some extent taken uncle Jim's
lace as a mule trader, not to be outone
in Christian works among the
ick, volunteered to take the fine
reakfast over and to see that the
ick were properly taken core of. He
ame out his front door with the
eavy waiter, looking as graceful as
2 did twenty years 3go, before he
ot fat.
The steam was rising from the
big eats" and you could tell across
he street from the good smell that
here was plenty in the land. Out
tie front gate he came and down
he street and into the yard of his
rother he went, and everything was
purty," as the negroes say, until
is right toe hit a rock which young
.en had thrown at the big rooster
le evening before, and then hot bis
uits and soft boiled eggs, milk
Dast, country sausage, and other i
ttractive things for sick people,
ew in a hundred directions.'
The Colonel got up, looked around
> see who was looking, and we susect
said, "Damn a mule," though
re didn't hear him say it, and went
ack to tell Mrs. White what had
appened. We didn't inquire for
ny further particulars.

One of BernstorfTs messages urgl
that special favor be shown Wilim

Bielaski told the committee that
lie was on the Hearst pay roil for
00 a week, and also was employed
$15,000 a year by a publicity 'ornization
formed in this country by
Bearnard Bemhnrc. thp fiermnn

Suggesting on June 2, 1916, that
e time was favorable "to get

office that the man selected was
lie, who he said had been a confimtial
agent of the embassy since
e beginning of the war, and was

!, 1918.
"Hearst," the ambassador's mesge
said, "is not aware that Hale

Germanophile journalist who has
ntributed leading articles to pairs."

PEACE CONFERENCE w
EARILY IN JANUARY
" _ to
Congress Scheduled to Meet First ^
Week of Month in New Year? tl
President Wilson Advised of g<
Maturing Plans. rr
Paris, Dec. 7.?President Wilson ,
will be informed by wireless of the.
plans for the assembling of the in-1
ter-allied conference and the meet-,
ng of the peace congress. He will:
also be advised concerning the re-,
cent gathering of the supreme war
council at London. In the meantime,!
reports that the president had ap-'
proved of anything done at the su-j
preme council are premature, as
/ j
the steps taken at that meeting will
not be made known to him until today.
The plans concerning the peace,
neetings are the results of Col. E.J
\T_ TTnusA's lone talk with Prpmipr
Clemenceau, following a conference
with Baron Sonnino, the Italian for-;
eign minister, and the Earl of Derby,!
the British ambassador to France.
The inter-allied conference will re-1
assemble on December 16 or 17. The
meetings will be at the foreign office
in the Quai d'Osray, and not at
Versailles. David Lloyd George,
the British premier, and A. J. Balfour,
the foreign minister, expect to
come here at that time to meet President
Wilson and attend the conference
but the elections in Great Britain
may not permit them to remain
more than two or three days.
, The opening of the peace congress
is set for the first week in January.
It was the desire of the Americans to
begin at the earliest possible mo
ment. Other delegations felt that a|
later date would be necessary, owing'
to the Christmas holidays $nd the
official functions connected with the
presence of President Wilson and
King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, but
the first week in January finally was
phosen. The first meetings will be
for the actual framing of the preliminaries
of peacfc with the representatives
of the enemy powers, who
