The State Highway Department has
just been advised of the death of Bert
Ramsay, which occurred at his former
home at Midland. His death was due
to the after effects of influenza. The
decedent was resident engineer of the
department and formerly chief engi-
neer of the Midland and Northwestern
Railroad. During his employment
with the Highway Department he su-
pervised several important projects.
He contracted influenza at Eastland,
but continued his journey to Midland,
his old home, where he passed away.
Mrs. Ramsay, who had ben residing
at Dallas, joined hi mat Midland and
was at his bedside at the time of his
death.
(Continued from Page Ona)
Curiously enough, the question of
whether deliberations were to be open
or secret had reached a stage before
today's decision whore some authori-
tative statement on the subject was
sought. Just before today’s meeting
Secretary of State Robert Lansing au-
thorised the following as his view:
The American Policy.
"The American policy is that fullest
publicitw consistent with the rapid and
satisfactory discharge of important
business which must come before the
peace congress should be accorded.
"It is possible that the sessions
should be open when business is ad-
vanced to a point where it, can be
regarded as ready for final action. It
may be, however. that in the earlier
stage, when subjects are being dis-
cussed between groups or in commit-
tees or in meetings of all the dele-
gates, with a purpose of reaching
agrements on controversial phases, it
would be inadvisable to condct these
discussion* openly. There might never
be an agreement otherwise.
Not Secret Diplomacy.
"That would not be secret di-
plomacy in any sense, however, for no
agreement so arranged could be ef-
fective until approved by all the dele-
gates in open session."
The complaint* which the British
correspondents have made to Mr.
Lloyd George and which the Ameri-
cans have submitted to Mr. Wilson
concede that it may be incompatible
with public interest to disclose cer-
tain phases of controversial questions
while they are being discussed, but
protest against the "gentlemen’s
agreement" whch forbids any one of
the delegates from giving any infor-
mation whatever outside of the offi-
cial statement.. on which public opin-
