Ate 'SUMTER WATCHMAN, Estab < Consolidated Aug. 2,1 ON MAKES TABLESPEECH In Some Circumstances Prece dent Breaking Most Sen sible Theory. ADDRESS DELIVERED AT LORD MAYOR'S LUNCHEON ?resident Gives Renewed Evi-! 3 dence of His* Versatility as a Speaker and Phrase Maker. Ix>ndon, Bee. 28.?In his speech this afternoon at the lord mayor's lunch eon at Mansion House, President Wil-. son said: "Mr. Lord. Mayor, your royal grace, ladies and gentlemen: You have again made me feel, sir, the very wonder ful and generous welcome of this: grease city and you have reminded me of /what has perhaps become one of the habits of my life. j "You have said that I have broken, all precedents in coming across the ocean to join, in the counsels of the ^ peace conference, but I think those i . -who have been associated with me inj Washington will testify that that is: nothing surprising. I said to the mem- ? bers of the press in Washington one ^yspilnjng th%t one of the things that had interested me most since I lived in . WaSl|mgtou was that every time T did 43*ytJiing perfectly natural it was said < to be unprecedented. "It was perfectly natural to break this precedent?natura* because the demand for the conference took prec edence over every other duty. And,' after all. the breaking of precedents, ; nought this may sound strange doc ; trine, in England, is the most sensible thing to do. The harness of prece dent is sometimes a very sad and ha-. rassing trammel. "In this case the breaking of pre-: Zedent is sensible for a reason that: is very prettily illustrated in ? a re- ' . mark attributed to Charles Lamb. One evening in a company of his friends \ thyey. were discussing a person who was not present and Lamb said, in his ; hesitating manner: *I h-hate that fei- j low.! "Why. Charles,' one of his friends ? said, JI did' not know that you knew! him.' 'Oh, he said, % I, L d-don't I j 1 c^cant h-hate a man, I know.' '-//-"^^Uid. perihaps.tnat simple and at-; tractive remark may furnish a secret ? for cordial international relationship, j When we know one another we can j not hate one another. "I have been very much interested I "before coming here to see what sort j o fa person I was expected to be. So 'far as I can make out, I was expect-: ed to be a perfectly blodless think- j Ing machine, whereas I am perfectly: jkare that I have in me all the in- j surgent elements of the human race.' , "I am sometimes, by reason of long: Scotch tradition, able to keep these instincts in restraint. The stern Cov enanter tradition that is behind me. sends manj' an echo down the years. It is not only diligently to pursue bus- j iness, out also to seek this sort of j comradeship, that I feel it is a priv- ; ilegeto have come across the seas and ; in the welcome that you have accord- i ed Mrs. Wilson and me, you have! made us feel that companionship was' accessible to us in the most delight-; furl and enjoyable form. 'I thank you sincerely for this wel- ? come, sir, and am very happy to Join | in a love feast which is all the more j enjoyable because there is behind it a" background of tragical suffering. Oar spirits are released from the! darkness of the clouds that at onej time seemed to have settled upon the world in a way that could not be dis- j persed; the sufferings of your own ; people, the suffering of the people of j Prance and the indefinite suffering of 1 the people of Belgium. The whisper : of grief that has been blown all ? through the world is now silent as the ? sun of hope seems to spread its rays j and to change the earth with a new; prospect of happiness. So our joy is ? all the more elevated because we j know that cur spirits are now lifted j out of that valley." ' im . The text of President Wilson's:' speech at the Guildhall this afternoon is as follows: ."Mr. Lord Mayor: We have come upon times when ceremonies like this have a new signification which most impresses me as I stand here. The address which I have just heard is most generously and graciously conceived and the delightful accent of sincerity in it seems like a part of that voice of counsel which is now everywhere to be heard. I feel that a distinguished honor has been con ferred upon me by this reception and T beg to assure you. sir. and your as sociates of my very orofound appre ciation, but I know that I am only part of what I may call a great body of circumstances. "I do not believe that it was fancy on my part that I he?-a in the voice of welcome uttered in the streets of this great city and in the streets of Paris something more than a person al welcome. It seemed to me that I heard the voice of one people speak ing to another people and it was a voice in which one could distinguish a singular combination of emotions. There was surely there the deep grate fulness that the fightincr was o'-^r There was th<= pride that the fisrhtine had, had such a culmination.

SI BROKE FAITH i | WITH CONGRESS! I ? ! Hitchcock Makes Serious Charg-! es Against Postmaster Gen- j eral Burleson. THE CONTEST OVER CABLES NOT ENDED I Bitter Criticism of Government! Control After Signing of the) I Armistice. Washington, Dec, 30.?By taking control of the cables after the armis tice was signed the postmaster ger - al came "very near breaking fa* i with congress," Senator Hitchcock, chairman of the foreign relations committee declared in the senate to day, commenting on a letter from j Postmaster General Burleson explain- j ing his action. prowess and achievements they ha^ ! witnessed with rising admiration as they moved from cuimin?,uou to cul mination. "But there was somehing more in it, the consciousness that the business is not yet done; the consciousness that j it now rests upon others to see that those lives were not lost in vain. "I have not yet been :o the actual battlefields, but I have been with 'many of the men who have fought the. battles, and the other day I had the pleasure of being present at a 'session of the French Academy wheni they admitted-Marshal Joffre to their membership. That sturdy, serene sol | dier stood and understood the words of triumph, but. the simple words of affection.' for his soldiers and the conviction which he summed up in a sentence which I will not try accur j ately to quote, but reproduce in its spirit. It was that France must al ways remember that the small and the weak could never live free in the world unless the strong and great al ways put their power and their strength in the service of right. "That is the after thought?the thought that something must be done now; not.only to make the just settle ments?that, of course?but to see that the settlements remained and were observed and that honor ? ajid justice prevails in the world. And as I have been more and more aware that they fought for something that not all of them had defined, but which all of them recognized the moment you stated it to them. They fought to do away with an old order and to establish a new one and the center and characteristic of the old order wa3 that unstable thing which we used to call 'the balance of power,' a thing in which the balance was determined, by the sword which was thrown in on the one side or the other?a balance which was deter mined by the unstable jealous watch fulness and an antagonism of in terests, which, though it was gen erally latent, was always deep seated. "The men who have fought in thxs war have been the men from the na tions who are determined that that sort of thing should end now and for ever. It is very interesting to me to observe how from every quarter, from every sort of mind, from every con cert of counsel there comes the sug_ gestion that there must now be not a balance of power, not one powerful group of nations set up against an other, but ' a single overwhelming, powerful group of nations who shall | be the trustees of the peace of the world. "It has been delightful in my con ferences with the leaders of your government to find how our mines moved along exactly the same line and how our thought was always that the key to peace was the guarantee of the peace, not the items of it; that the items would be worthless unless there stood back of them a determin- j ed concert of power for the mainten ance. That is the most reassuring thing that has ever happened in the world. "When this war began the thought of a league of nations was indulgent ly considered as the interesting j thought of closeted students. It was j thought of as one of those things s that it was right to c' aracterize by a j name which, as a university mau, I ; have always resented. It was said to i be academic, as if that in itself were i condemnation?something that men j could think about, but never get. | Xow we find the practical leading i minds of the world determined to get j "No such sudden and potent union j of purpose has ever beer, witnessed in j the world before. Do you wonder, i therefore, gentlemen, that in com mon with those who represent you T 1 am eager to get at the business *nd | write the sentences down ? "And that I am particularly happy that the ground is clear and the foun dation laid?for we have already ac cepted the sam.- body of principles. Those principles are cleany and defi nitely enough stated to make their ap plication a matter which should afford no fundamental difficulty. "And back of us is that imperative yearning of the world to have all dis turbing questions quiot'ri. to have threats against peace silenced to P.iv just men everywhere ?>ome togetlv ? fv-r p rornmon object.

SAYS HE IS OPPOSED TO SECRET DIPLOMACY France Supports Idea of League of Nations to Maintain Worldij Peace and Is Not Seeking Ter-? ritory by Annexation Paris, Dec. 29 (By the Associated Press)?-The storm which has been threatening in the French chamber for the past four days broke this afr ternoon when Stephen Pichon, mifc ister of foreign affairs, amid violent interruptions by the Socialists and counter demonstrations by the govern ment supporters outlined France's peaces cerms. * j| The minister declared that France Is absolutely in agreement that full publicity be given to the proceeding^ of the peace conference. He announc| ed that, intervention in Russia was inevitable, but that it would be of c defensive character so far as Frencli troops were concerned and that if of^ fensive operations were undertaken it must be by Russian trooos. It has been evident for the past week that the opponents of Premier Clemenceau were determined ob struct in every possible way the vot ing of the budget of 10,500,000 francs for the first three months of 1919 un less the government stated its peace erms either through Premier Clem enceau or M. Pichon. But it was not expected that the government would Jo so before Monday. M. Francklin-Bouil?on of the com| mittee of foreign affairs brought mat| :ers to a head, however, by a violenf rttack on M. Pinchon and the govi ernment's foreign policy. Since Thursday the government bench has sat in obdurate silence, re fusing to reply to any querries, but when M. Pinchon ascended the trib une this afternoon he was ready to answer. He declared:: "First: That the government was in accord that the utmost publicity should be given the peace conference, thus replying to the interpellation. o& the Socialist deputy, Marcel Ma chin, of last Friday, when he asked Pre mier Clemenceau to state whether secret diplomacy would be abandon ed in the peace conference and the ^seussion given all publicity. "Second. That the French govern men has adopted the principle of a league of nations and is now busy working towards its effective realiz ing, thus replying to the interpellation, of the Socialist, M. Bracke. "Third. That the government does not desire any annexation, but re serves the right to fix the AIsace-Lor raine frontiers, to guard against fu ture 'attack, thus replying to M. Franklin-Bouillon. "Fourth. That the government does not think that the question of diplo matic representation oe the Vatican arises at the present moment. "Fifth. That intervention in Rus sin is inevitable." Upon Russian intervention M. Pichon explained, reading from in structions issued by Premier Clemen ceau to the general commanding, that such intervention was not offensive for 'he>time being, but defensive, in order to prevent the Bolsheviki : com invad ing Ukraine, the Caucasus and Wes tern Siberia. If an offensive inter vention should be necessary in . order to destroy Bolshevism, such ah oper ation must be carried out by Russian troops, of which 100,000 were at th* present time ready a Odessa. While M. Pichon was reading M. Clemenceau's instructions pandemo nium broke loose in the Socialist bench. "The war is beginning anew." they shouted. M. Deschanel, president of the chamber, threatened to have one of the most unruly of the Socialist member ejected M. Pichon weather ed the storm calmly. He refused per emptorily to answer whether th<" Frnch government was prepared at the presnt time to make public thr names of its delegates to the peace conference. The chamber must give the government its confidence, hr said. The chamber was again in an up J roar in which it was noted that other: ?joined with the Socialists. ?

HUGHES LEADS I CABLE FIGHT Former Supreme Court Justice ] Alleges Violation of Spirit of Law. HAD NO RIGHT TO SEIZE CABLES -Congress Authorized President ( to Take Over Lines Only in Case of Extreme Danger. New York, Dec. 27.?In authoriz ! Ing President Wilson to take over the nation's cable lines, congress intended [ such seizure to- be made "only in case : of impending danger to* the national ' ;ecurityf" and not "at any time during I the existence of a mere technical state [of war," declared Charles E. Hughes, counsel for the Commercial Cable and Commercial Pacific Cable Companies in federal court here today. Mr. Hugos made this contention while arguing before Judge Hand on the motion of the United States gov ernment 'to dismiss the bill of com plaint in a suit brought by the two companies to enjoin Postmaster Gen eral Burleson and Newcomb Carlton from merging their lines under fed eral control with those of the West ern Union Telegrapn Company, 6f wh,ich Carlton is head. At one point in reply to a question of Judge Hand as to whether "the se curity of defense of the nation does not depend on achievement of the ob jects for which the. war was fought," and not on the mere termination of fighting, Mr. Hughes said: "I think what may be achieved, m the sense of the final results of the war will probably not be determined during our life time. I think that con gress had no reference to the na tional security in the sense of the ab solute establishment of some condi tions. Congress had in mind an actua' state of applied force." Previously counsel for the govern ment, who contended that the United States is the vital defendant and can not be made party to the suit, har" challenged that part of the bill of complaint in which it is asserted that "seizure of said cables on the ground -that they were or are necessary for f the national security or defense, was and is a mere pretext without sub stance or basis in fact" This imput ed deception to the president, declar ed Edward F. McClennon, special as sistant to Attorney General Gregory In opening his argument, Mr. Hughes recited that on November 16 . Mr. Eurleson had seized not only 13 Atlantic cables, but 10,000 miles of Pacific cables?"all cables without distinction, operated by American companies." Mr. Burleson, continued Mr. Hughes, had given as his only author ity for that action the joint resolu tion of congress adopted on July l?. v. hich, he added, was 'a limitation as well as a grant of power." "It defined the emergency in which alone that power was to be exercised." j "It did not, on a reasonable con struction of that authority, empower 1 the president to seize the cables at any time during the existence of z mere state of war in law as affecting relations between peoples of coun tries. . "It was a power that had direct re lation to the existence of danger to *he national security." After asserting that when the ca bles were-seized, there was "no men- : -:ce to the national security." Mr. Hughes said that he had been pres ent when President Wilson had told congress that with the armistice ac tually signed, the conditions it im posed reduced Germany to a state of absolute helplessness. Quoting the president as saying j that the war had come to an end, Mr j Hughes a3ked: J "What - did he mean ? He knew that the war had not ended in a tech nical legal sense, but he knew that 'he potency of that war had gone, so far as it was directed against the peace and security of our people.* Here again Judge Hand interrupted to say that if the security of the na tion is to be measured by the incor poration of America's conditions in theiterms of peace, "surely all mean? necessary lo the achievement of that 'mal end. are necessary." z Then followed, an argument be tween Judge Hand and Mr. Hughes as to the meaning of "security." Mr. Kughes. who asserted that Germany will have to accept the terms of the peace conference as she did those of the armistice, asserted that "that se curity" means "safety" and that th< word was used in direct reference tc | war. but that the court maintoinee | that such was "a pretty limited in- j ferpretation." - i : RELIEF FOR CENTRAL EMPIRES j London Pnpor Understands Wilson | Has Plans for Api*>inrmcnl of Di- j rector General. i London.

ALL ROYAL FORMAIITIES WERE OBSERVED Queen Mary on Arm of Presi dent and King Vvieii Mrs. Wil son. Maiiy Distinguished Guests. London, Dec. 27.?No more regal setting ever had been arranged in Buckingham Palace than that which greeted President Wilson and Mrs. Wilson when they were escorted into .Jie banquet hall tonight for the precedent breaking state dinner. Ev ery royal formality which had attend ed epocal occasions at the palace for 2C0 or 300 years was carried out be fore and during the banquet. Presi dent Wilson and Queen Mary led the procession into the dining hall, pre ceded by officials of the palace splen didly costumed, bearing wands and walking backwards and making obei sance to the guests. Immediately behind the president and the queen came King George and Mrs. Wilson. They were follow ed by members of the royal family. At the head of the table 12 per sons were seated, with King George in the middle.? President Wilson sat at the king's right and Mrs. Wilson on his left. To the right of president Wilson was Queen Mary and then the French ambasador, Princess Chris tian, the Spanish ambassador and Princess Patricia, daughter of the Duke of Connaught. At Mrs. Wil son's lefi sat Princess Mary, the Ital ian ambassador, Princess Beatrice and the Japanese ambassador in the order named. The American ambas sador, John W. Davis, had the firsi p>ace at a side rectangular table or President Wilson's right. Prior to the.' dinner President and Mrs. Wilson were escorted from thei; apartments to the great white draw ing room, where the royal family had gathered with their other guests These guests were presented to Presi dent and Mrs. Wilson and the dinner party immediately proceeded to th? dining hall. i The scene was one of splendor. Ir ?the dining salon was a great collection of solid gold plate and huge . gold j ornaments valued at $15,000,000. These had been brought from th? : vaults for the occasion. One of three buffets contained pieces of plate toe ? large or otherwise too cumbersome for . use. These included one piece ot jcrreat size taken from the wreck of the Spanish Armada. In color the gold laden table blended with the dec orations in the hall, which are white and gold, with crimson carpet and up holstering to match. The crimson ef fect was further carried out by the exclusive use of poinsettias as flora) decorations. In the balcony at th< ;?.nd of the room was a military or chestra, not hidden from view bj floral or other decorations. The at tendants were in full state dress ?which was heavy with geld lace. I The banquet hall, which is 200 feet '^ong by 75 feet wide, was approached by the guests through a state hall way a block long, ..richly furnished and decorated with paintings and porcelain. The banquet hall occasion ally is used for banquets and othei ?urposes and has a throne at on* end. The main table was arranged sc that the backs of President Wilsor, and King George were toward thx throne. The permanent decorations seemed strikingly simple when compared with the regal table. On each side six cut glass chandeliers hung from the extremely high ceiling, but foi the banquet tonight 128 candles iE gold candelabra, each surmounted b3 a pink silk shade, were used. Othei light was obtained from fancy waV fixtures. The general body of the guests pre ceded the royal family and the presl dential and ambassadorial guests into the banquet hall. They rose and re mained standing while the mali guests and the hosts entered in pr<3 cession. Heading the procession wa the lord chamberlain and the lop steward and other officials in state re sralia, yeomen of the guard in ra Elizabethan costumes and with hai herds were in attendance.
