Gives Blood to Save
Private in Hospital
1f you ever saw Frank Carter play
basketballhe was a member of
the Atlanta Athletic Club's famous
championship quintet a couple of
seasons back-——you know that Frank
had plenty of red blood in his sys
tem. Look how he spent it "over
there.” 1
Frank —he is Lieutenant Carter
now-—was in the hospital recover
ing from a shoulder wound. He |
was about to be discharged as cured
when there came a call for blood—
literally. A private was dying un
der an operation, and there was a
chance to save him if fresh, rich
blood could be transfused into his
drained arteries. Fraak Carter was
the volunteer, and nearly a quart
of blood was transfused from his
arteries Into those of the private. ;
It kept Frank two weeks longer
in the hospital--but that's the kind
of stuff American boys are made
of. Lieutenant Carter Is now fully
recovered and will be on the way |
home before long. |
Before entering the service Lieu
tenant Carter was an attorney in
the office of his father, E. V, Car- |
ter, in the Atlanta National! Bank
Building. He wos an all-round ath
lete, playing football and basketball
on loeal teams. Shortly after the
outbreak of the war he enlisted and
entered the officers' training camp
at Fort MePherson, graduating from
the first school, and went to France
with the 326th Infantry, Eighty
second Division, last April

at this time are vague or unknown,”
should go over for future discussion.
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, of
Massachuseits, who will be majority
leader when the peace treaty is before
the Senate for ratification, laid down
this doctrine today. |
Senator Lodge singled out five of
the President's fourteen peace points
which he said should not be consid
ered by the peace conference and
should not be dealt with in the treaty.
They are:
1. The President's first point relat
ing to secret diplomacy.
2. The second point, dealing with
the freedom of the seas. |
3. The third point, referring to the
removal of econom!c barriers.
4. The fourth point, declaring for a
reduction of armaments.
b. The last point, far the creation of
a league of nations
The definite suggestion that the
peace treaty mignt be rejected, or
at least greatly altered, if it came.to
the Senate carrying provisions for
making the United States a member
of the league of nations, was con
tained in the concluding words of
Senator Lodge's address.
Hints at Changes.
“The American people desire as
prompt action on peace with Germany
as is consistent with safety,” he said.
“The attempt to attach the provisions
for an effective league of nations to
the treaty of peace now making with
Germany would be to launch the na
tions who have been fighting Ger
many on a sea of boundless discus
sion. It would cause wide differences
of opinion and would bring long de
lays. If the attempt was successful
and a league of nations, with the
powers about which they have ven
tured to irquire vested into it were
to come here before the Senate, it
might endanger the peace treaty and
cause amendments. It would certain
ly lead to very long delays.”
Senator Lodge thus placed himself
and his followers in the Senate on
record In dirdct opposition to Presi
dent Wilson,
“The Constitution gives to the Sen
ate,” said Senator lLodge, “the right
to advise as well as to consent (in
the matter of peace treaties), and it
is the clear right of the Senate to of
fer its advice, whether invited or un
asked, at any stage of the negotia
tions.” |
Calls It Right of Senate. |
The Senate, Lodge believed, has a
perfect right to demand that it be
kept fully informed upon the neance
neogtiations, and also that it is “far
from jmpertinence” on the part of the
Senate to offer its oq)niohu at this
time. ‘
Senator Lodge belleved “the plan™
was to project the peace treaty upon
the Senate without any prior infor
mation, upon the theory that the Sen
'ate, although it had the power, "would
‘ not dare to reject ilt.”" While this the
ory probably was correct, he said,
}lhc-rv undosubtedly would be the most
protracted debate and amendment of
the treaty if it did not please the Sen
‘ ate, Therefore, he asked that the Sun.;
' ate go on record from time to time
1“1 resolutions that will express its
opinions to the President and the Al
les,
| Guarantees Ledge Outlined. ‘
‘ “It Is the duty of the Allies and the
‘l'nltvll Htates to meet and determine
what terms they will impose upon
Germany, and then, and not until
then, eall in the representatives nf‘
Germany and Impose the terms upon
them," Lodge asserted, “When lhm‘
is done, the first great step will h”i
taken toward the establishment of the
world's peace, It we eliminate Gers
many from the opportunity to make
war, the only source from WMHK n
great war is likely to come would be
closed for generations.”
Declaring that we must not leave
the work of saving civilization half
done, lLodge sald the United States
must do its share In the occupation
of German territory to be held until
Indemnities are pald. There (8 also
the responsibility, he said, of doing
our part in alding the peoples to
whom we have given freedom and mn
dependence,
He asserted that the moeaning of
the phrase, “freedom of the seas”™
never has been defined and that if it
means the abolition of the right of

Cireat Britain, must have serious ob«

President Plans for g 4
Trip to London "y
By JOHN EDWIN NEVIN,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S.
PARIS, Dee. 31.—President Wilson
will leave Paris for London immedie
ately after his Christmas visit to Gen«
eral Pershing's beadquarters at Chau
mont, This was learned here today,
although the details of the American
executive's trip are being closely
guarded.
President Wilson’'s plans for Christ
mas were compieted today. He will
leave l’aris for General Pershing's
headquarters at Chaumont on Mon
day and will spend two days with
the American troops.
Because he has been unable to take
his customary golfing exercise in the
mornings Mr. Wilson plans to take
up horseback riding in the Paris parks
on his return to Paris from his holie
day visits,
Gives Significant Interview.
A significant interview was given’
by President Wilson 10 a correspond
ent of The Londcn Times, in which
he expressed the opinion that a “just
aud reasonable” solution of the peace
problems will be reached. Persons
in close touch with Mr. Wilson hoid
the opinion that he intends to follow
his early methods while at Trenton as
Governor of New Jersey and later as
President in Washington, by appeal«
ing directly to the people,
There I 8 no secret of the fact thag
the I'resident is disappointed over the
delay in getting down to the prelime
inary conferences. Officials close ta
the President hold that when the
American executive traveled oved
3,000 miles, foregoing the chance of
spending Christmas at home, in ordes
to confer with all parties, Premied
Lloyd George and A. J. Balfour, the
British Foreign Minister, should have
been willing to postpone their vacay
t.on in order to expedite Mr. Wfl.\mr:!
speedy return to America because
the congressional exigencies,
President Wilson will not discuss
business nor official matters while in
Brgland next week, deferring thag
am'l his return to Paris,
Thre Socialist newspaper L'Human+
ite today printed a critical articie o
the attitude of Premier Clemenceauy
saying:
Changes Clemenceau’s Views,
“The first result of President Wik
son’'s visit is that Premier Clemens
ceau renounces his views on the so=
ciety of nations.”
Mrs. Wilson was greatly pleased
with her visit to the hospital for biind
soldiers organized by Miss Winnifred
Holt, of New York. She talked with
some of the sightless soldiers and was
the recipient of numerous souvenirs
She was especially interested in the
exhibition of the handiwork of the
men
Officials ean nor understand eritie
¢'sm tnhat has been coming from cers
tain British sources concerning thag
portion of the President's address to
the American Congress on Decembep
2 in which he said he “took for grante
ed that Congress would carry out the
nava! program undertaken before the
United States entered the war”
Mr. Wilson's Remarks,
(The part of the President’s speecl
relating to the naval program sols
lows “I tuke it for granted that the
Congress will carry out the naval
program which was undertaken before
we entered the war, The Secretary
of the Navy has submitted to yous
ocmmittees for nuthorization that parg§
of the program that covers the buflde
ng plans of the next three years.
These plans have been prepared along
the lines and in accordance with the
poliey which the Congress estabe
lished, not under the saxceptional cone
ditions of the war, but with the inten
tion of adhering to a definite mothoz
of development for the navy. 1 ear
nestly recommend the llnllvl"fl’flmfii
pursuit of that policy. It would clears
ly be unwise for us to attempt to ad
just our program to a future worlz
policy as yot undetermined.”)
It 18 learned on the highest an
ity that rresident Wilson did not m;
for any criticism in this connectl
as he had evidently intended the fl:a
sentence of the paragraph just guote
to make elear hig opinion, -
The terms of the original congrese
slonal act of 1016, authorizing thd
