SOCIALIST LEADER
LEAVES PRISON
MAKES SPEECH IN WASHINGTON
STATION WITHOUT
PERMIT.
Freed Christmas day by President
WorHino fivim Atlanta federal Deni
tentiary, where he was serving a tenyear
sentence for making speeches in
violation of the war laws, Eugene V.
Debs, Socialist leader, was reprimanded
Tuesday night in Washington by
union station police for making a
speech without a permit before leaving
for his home in Terre Haute, Ind.
Before boarding his train Debs addressed
a crowd of several hundred
persons in the station, including admirers,
who had come to say good-bye,
expressing his gratitude for his reception
ip Washington and closing
with a reiteration of his opposition
to war and belief in the force of love
in the redemption of the world.
No effort was made by uniformed
police in the crowd to interfere with
the address but immediately upon its
conclusion a plain clothes man rushed
up to Debs and demanded if he had
a permit to speak in the station, and
upon being informed in the negative,
declared:
"You have taken a great liberty."
Debs, who had grasped the plain
clothes man by the hand under the
impression that he was a well-wisher,
apologized and said he had not known
he was doing wrong.
Debs went immediately to his train
but considerable excitement prevailed
s in the crowd, due chiefly to the efforts
1 AL.
of newspapermen to learn me lueuut;
of the plain clothes man. He refused
to give his name, but after rather
esmtod bickering with reporters dedares
he was the chief of police of
the union station and flashed a badge
pinned to his belt He said he had
had no special orders with respect
to Debs but that the regulations of
the station forbid speech-making without
a permit

STUDENTS HONOR WILSON.
Special Issue of Paper Dedicated to
Noted Alumnus.
Davidson, N. C. Dec. 28.?The staff
, of the Davidsonian, student weekly
publication of Davidson College, have
just issued a special Woodrow Wilson
number. This issue is the most pre
tentious ever attempted by The iiavidsonian
and said to be one of the largest
ever published by any Southern
Collegiate weekly.
It is a Woodrow Wilson issue in
fact as well as in name for it carries
about twenty-five columns about the
ex-president Every effort has been
made to secure only authoritative material
from the pens of able men. Dr.
Thornton Whaling, class-mate of Mr.
Wilson and noted Presbyterian church
man, contributes a notable article on
"Wilson's Education" and Dr. J. M.
McConnell, of the History Department
of Davidson College, contributes an
article on "Wilson's accomplishments
at the Paris Conference," discussing
them from the political angle. In .
addition to the above, the paper car- (
lies articles about the family of the
ex-presiden^Md about various phases (
of his carwr^rhe front page carries
a picture of the ex-president and a .
facsimile copy of a personal letter
vim tn i:>?p E?litor-in-Chief.
Every one of the regular depart- !
merits was run as usual but in an (
enlared form. Every departmental ,
editor made a special effort to make
his page truly .representative and
worthy of that particular phase of
college life. The Athletic Department
is especially noteworthy in that
it carries individual write-ups of the
1921 Wild Cat team in addition to a
resume of the 1921 football season.
The Business Department made the
issue of the paper possible by the
securing of eight pages of special
advertising.
W. J. Cooper of this place, a student
at Davidson is a member of the Davidaonians
official staff.

The Williamson Reunion.
One of the largest and pleasantest
occasions of the kind was the reunion
of the family of Mr. and Mrs. Henry
J. Williamson, at their home in this
county. This affair was to have been
held on Christmas day, but as that
day fell on Sunday, it was held on
Monday 26th. Alarge number of the
children and grand-children of Mr.
Williamson were present. Besides
these, Miss Lottie Dukes and Mr. P.
B. Lockwood were visitors.
The occasion was greatly enjoyed
by all present, and one that will be
long remembered.
A barbecue dinner was served, and
everything desired by the inner man
was on hand. Indeed, it was a feast
to thp ends.
The number of little children present
were enough to make a man wish
he had been married before he was
born, or could live always among
these dear little ones, the little golden
chains that draw us nearer Heaven,
and make life worth living. The
writer has always loved children, and
it made us "feel a boy again" to be
with them.
Mr. Henry J. Williamson is one of
those wholehearted, courteous Southern
gentlemen, a well-known and
highly esteemed citizens of this county.
He is in his 77th year and is
still in apod health. He served two
years in the Confederate army, and
bears the unique distinction of serving
in the army, and not receiving
a cent pay. He is still active and
we wisn mm many nappy years 10
come.
Those present were the following
with their children: Mr. and Mrs.
Henry J. Williamson, Wilhelmina,
Edward, Hoyt and Herman, of Cades;
Mr. and Mrs. G. Furman, Hessie,
Julius, Steve, Evelyn, George, Aurellia
and Douglas, of Cades, and

Institute of the Public Health Service
held in Washington last December
and of the difficulty, due to the
conflicting dates of other meetings, of
arranging for another on the same
scale this fall, the Service some time,
ago decided to try to meet the insistent,
nation-wide demand by arranging
a series of Institutes to be
held in the larger widely scattered
cities of the United States. Locations
and dates were so arranged that at
least two or three of the meetings
should be held within reasonably convenient
reach of nearly every resident
of the country; and a tentative
schedule of courses and of speakers
was mapped out The plans were
promptly adopted by many cities, with
some variations to meet special local
needs.
Columbia is one of the score of
important cities m tne cm tea states
selected for a Public Health Institute.
Dr. J. Adams Hayne, State Health
Officer Is to be the director of the
institute and the preliminary arrangements
are being made by Dr. C. V.
tion; Dr. Hayne of the veneral disease
control work in this State. Dr.

the tuberculosis section. Dr. C. Fred
Williams of the mental hygiene section;
Dr. Hayne of the veeneral disease
sections and the sanitary en
u YX_ TT7J1
gmeering section; L/r. xvooen. nueun,
Jr., of the non-commtmi cable disease
section; Dr. Robert Rankin of North
Carolina, of the administrative problem
seetfon; and Dr. A. M. McCormick

BREAK IN CONFERENCE.
France Refuses to Consider Limitation
of Submarines.
Washington, Dec. 28.?Efforts to
limit the naval strength of the powers
in submarines and auxiliary warships
came to an abrupt end today after
they had drawn the French and British
arms conference delegates into
a plain spoken exchange over the possibilities
of a future war between
France and the British Empire.
The Frei^, acting under renewed
instructions from their government,
told the conference naval committee
with an air of finality that France
must remain free to build a submarine
flotilla nearly three times as great
as that she now possesses and to
construct, in addition, cruisers, destroyers
and other auxiliary craft up
to a tonnage of 330,000.
To the proposal the Americans,
Japanese and Italians replied with
expressions of surprise and regret,
while the British charged openly that
such a building program must be regarded
as a menace to British shores.
Arthur J. Balfour added that he had
no doubt, if occasion arose, Great
Britian would be equal to it, Jnit only
if she reserved complete ffeedom
of action as to the construction of
all types of auxiliaries which might
be useful against underwater warfare.
Agreeing that further argument
would be usless, the committee turne<j
its attention to collateral subjects,
including regulations for future use
of submarines, proposals for limitation
of the size and armament of individual
auxiliary vessels, and details
of the agreement already sealed in
principle regarding capital ships. (
For the American delegation Elihu
TV 1 - J _ ' 1 J 1^ li
iwut prupuseu a jumt ueciarauon
reaffirming the obligation of submarine
commanders to warn merchant
ships before attack, to refrain from
sinking vessels whose crews and passengers
could not first be placed in
safety, and to conform in general to
all the established practices of international
law. In addition, Mr. Root
also suggested a change in existing
usage to prohibit attacks on raerchaot
vessels altogether and to make submarine
commanders who violate the
regulation liable to trial as pirates.
General sympathy for the purposes
of these proposals was expressed by
the representatives of all the powers,
but definite action was deferred.
Should an agreement be reached, it
is to be submitted to all civilized
nations with an invitation for the
world-wide adherence.
