Joseph, Fielding Smith, sixth president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-daSaints, died at 4:50 Oclock Tuesday morning, November 19, following an illness of several months- - duration, against which he had made a determined fight and had on several occasions rallied sufficiently to permit his appearance In public. The end came peacefully as he lay at th& official residence of the church, president, surrounded by members of his family and church dig. nitaries. In the death of President Smith the state loses one of its best known and most constructive leaders. Broad in his sympathies, in his judgments and tolerant to a marked degree, his passing will be mourned by men of all creeds in Utah and in the missions of the church to which he had beec a frequent visitor. The church loses in his death the last of her leaders whose birth oc curred prior1 to the settlement of the church in Utah. President Smith had just passed his eightieth birthday when the end came. For 17 years and 10 days President Smith had been the supreme head of the Mormon church, to which he had devoted the greater part of his life, and for which he had endured in his earlier days hardships almost beyond the belief of the effete generation of today. During his term the church has witnessed the greatest prosperity of its history. More meeting houses have President Woodrow Washington. Wilson will attend the opening sessions of the peace conference. This was announced November 18. He will go immediately after the convening of the regular session of congress on December 2. This official statement was issued Monday night at the Wihte House. The president expects to sail for France immediately after the opening of the regular session of congress, for the purpose of taking part in the discussion and settlement of the main features of the treaty of peace. It is not likely that it will be possible for him to remain throughout the sessions of the formal peace conference, but his presence at the outset is necessary in order to obviate the manifest disadvantages of discussion by cable in determining the greater outlines of the final treaty, about which be must necessarily be consulted. He will, of course, be accompanied by delegates who will sit as the representatives ,of the United States throughout the conference. The names of the delegates will be presently announced. How long the president will remain abroad he himself probably can not say now. The time for the convening of the peace conference has not yet been announced, but the general belief here is that it can not be assembled before late in December at the earliest. If such proves the case, the president wilj be absent from the country for at least a month and probably longer. In visiting Europe the president will establish two precedents. He will be the first chief executive of the United Statets to participate in a peace conference for the settling .of issues growing out of a war in which this country participated, and likewise he will be the first president to leave North America during his term of of- PRESIDENT CLOSES Tome Needed is Perunj, First, because it will assist lnbuild Ing up your strength, winvigotX Won JPerfonn y trants.
