Dec. 22.—Official coples of Secretary Lansing’s two state- ments of yesterday on President Wil- eon’s notes to the belligerents have been gent to all American diplomats abroad ; for the information of the Governments to which they are accredited, in order that there may be no misconstruction of the President’s purposes. Diplomats here are eagerly watching ¢ ' for indications of whether the European > @ £«neutrals will follow the lead of the ? © £«UUnited States and make a similar ap- peal to the warring Powers. There is a growing feeling that the United States hopes to become the clear- '— ing house for views and possibly for 41 terms of the belligerents. Several of =a © the diplomats have advised their Gov- "=. érnments to that effect in order to guide a “them in their replies. ' Surprise at the fast-growing signifi- | cance of the President’s move was ex- e pressed on all sides, where it was point- > ed out that, at first, the opinion pre- ~ valied that the note itself was merely | & “feeler” and that the most tmmedi- © ately contemplated result in issuing it | was the receipt of some sort of defini- ; tion from the various warring nations. ’ That the President should: let. it be | known indirectly to the diplomats for © their guidance that he went even _ Yarther than that and counted on an ab- ' solutely frank reply from the belliger; » ents which would lead to an actual op- |) portunity for negotiations proved only less surprising than the actual note . iteelf = a ee 3 oT his fecling was increased by Secre- tary Lansing’s authorized statement Bi 3 a ES sent. entirely. regardless the central -owers” i or of the reply of a feorge. - fettttude of European Neutrals. > The ‘Question very much .to the fore "today was whether the European neu- trale would present a united appeal.

It is alleged, further that while this invention’ was filed 0¢&-—* 26, 1914, practically the same invention was filed by. Smith on Aug. 3, 1916, which is still in the name of Smith and to which the company has no title. It is declared that neither patent, if granted, would be of any value. The other invention was not a part of the assets of the company at the time of its organization. and incorporation, according to the petition, but the appli- cation was afterward transferred to the company by Smith, the principal stock- holder, in payment for stock and for a royalty and a salaried position. The ap- rlication for the invention is declared to have been totally worthless because the same improvement had been pa- tented by the Packard Motor Co. It ig alleged that Smith, at the time of incorporation, owned 1994 of the 2000 sub- scribed shares of capital stock and aft- erward surrendered stock of the value of $100,000 to the company, the effect of which was to reduce the subscribed cap- ital stock to a figure much below one- half of its authorized. capital. Tt is alleged that after the articles of association had been spread upon the records of the company, some unknown officer or agent or director of the com- pany caused them to be changed so as to show 40,000 shares instead of 4000 an4d the value changed from $100 to: $0 After this alleged alteration of the minutes, according to the petition, the company sold stock at $10 a share ag- gregating $300,000, Other allegations are that the com- pany, without consent of the State au- thorities, changed its principal business office from St. Louis to Macon, that it failed to file with the Secretary of Stata an affidavit setting forth the sale of one-fouth of the authorized and unsub- scribed capital stock, and that the com. pany has sold stock for personal notes of the purchasers, unindorsed and un- secured. The proceeding at Macon will not af- fect the value of the company’s as- sets, which is thought by McCawley to be in excess of the outstanding stock abilities. The assets consist of real es- tate, buildings, machinery and cash in banks and deposited with automobile material companies. An audit is being. made, in which the inventions will not be listed as assets. The patents cover a combined body and chassis and an axle in which the power is diverted to the wheel which offers the greatest resistance. On the latter the company has ‘arranged to pay a royalty to the Packard company. The company was organized by Smith, the inventor. He retained 1994 shares of stock. The other incorporators were Frederick V. L. Smith, A. O. Trorlicht, Frederick H. Van Craenenbroeck and Hunter Woodson. The board of direc- tors was authorized to isgue $200,000 more of stock and about $100,000 worth of this bas been issued. Piant Valee Put at 5,000. Macon citizens who weonate Miettated in the enterprise presented the company with a site and sold ft a factory pbuild- ing for a nominal consideration of $15,000. The plant is said to be worth $275,000. The stockholders met last night at the Jefferson Hotel and voted to reorganize the company under the name of the Macon Motor Car Co. One effect of the reorganization will be to relievé stock. holders of this contingent liability on the stock issued under the altered min- utes. The new company will be capital- ized at twice the actual value of ita aia - =. % % -——- ee -—- ~ - -— ~<a reer» a GOVERNMENT SHIPPING BOARD |S NOMINATED President Names Five to Admin- ister the New Federal Law. WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—President Wilson today nominated the following to be members of the Federal Shipping Board: William Denman of San Fran- cisco, Bernard N. Baker of Baltimore, John A. Donald of New York, John Barber White of Kansas City, Mo., and Theodore Brent of New Orleans. The board under the law will have general supervision over freight rates in American waters. It is empowered to organize a $50,000,000 corporation to build or buy merchant ships. Fortynine per eént of the stock will be available for public subscription and that which is not subscribed will be taken by the Government. The ships built or bought will be available to lease or charter by private interests, but may be operated by the Government should private concerns fail to take them. The intent of the law aside from being to restore ships for American commerce removed by the war, is to open up trade routes which private capital does not consider yet profitable enough for it to enter. The ships may be used as naval auxil- laries in time of war. Denman’s Term Lougest. Denman, who gets the longest term of six years, is a Democrat and a lawyer with experience in admiralty cases. He ig a graduate of the University of Call- fornia. .He was chairman of a com- mittee to Investigate muncipal corrup- tion in San Franciseo in 1908, and has been prominent in a movement in Cali- fornia for the election of nonpartisan Judges. : Baker, who was nominated for a ff year term, has had wide experience as a ship owner and for 9 years was president of the Atlantic Transporta- tion Line.. He is a Démocrat, a native of Baltimore, and a graduate of Shef- field Scientific School at Yale. When the shipping bill was pending he acted as the closest adviser of Secretary Mc- Adoo, the chief advocate of the meas- ure..

The White House was concerned lest any word inet as indicating that the American | est chance of success, be conveyed to }| the Olympia, 718 reach the foreign capitais to be con- note was anything but what it indicated on its face. So, after a conference bé- tween President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, thé second statement was for- mally prepared and distributed at the State Department. At the White House no comment what- ever was made on the note itself or on the two statements by Secretary Lan- sing. Entente diplomats, at first at an utter loss how to handle the unexpected sit- uation, became convinced that a clearer understanding of the necessities and pur- poses of the United States proved that their fear of a move favorable to Ger many was not contemplated, and that this country would not try to force peace on Burope. Their view grew that the United States feared that unless the peace proposals go through now, a pe- riod of ruthlessness and retaliation may sét in On both sides which will inevi- tably force this country into action. Expects Frank Replies. Secretary Lansing in cailing in the diplomatic representatives of the bellig- erents is understood to have made it clear to them individually that the United States expected the replies of their Govetnments to be absolutely frank tn all details. The idea was guth- ered that the United States was looking forward to forming itself into a clearing house, at least for views ané probably for terms. The general understanding was that the purpose of this explana- tion to enable the envoys to .:om- municate to their own Governments the undériying purpose of the President's ac- tion at thie time. Further, the opinion prevailed that the United Statés expected to be fully informed of all terme, includinge® those rélating to territory. ‘It is felt in various diplomatic quar- tere that while statements regarding terms, especially. those concerning ter- ritory, might readily be passed along by the United States, they must not, if the negotiations are to have the slight- the public generally. Should definite territorial terms be made public, it is feared & certain séction of public opin- fon in the countries affected would fo- ment additional! embarrassments.

TENDENCY TO RESENT IT General Disposition, However, ‘to Give Wilson Credit for Sincerity of Purpose. LONDON, Dec. 22.—President Wilson's note is given the biggest display of any other war announcements to a minor place. Headlines such as “Prerident Wilson’s Stranze Peace Hssay,” “Presi- aent Wilson’s Peace Feeler’’ and “Amaz- ing Note,” indicate in slight measure the astonishment caused by the com- munication. Much speculation is induiged in a8 to the motive or causes which inspired the President to send. such & note after his assumption of the attitude that he would not mediate unless tn- vited by both groups of belligerents. When most of the editorials of the British newspapers were written Secre- tary Lansing’s statements had not been received. One section of Ahe press, utterly re- jecting any idea of the possibility of peace negotiations as the outcome of the recent German note, attributes the President’s action to the success of prop- aganda conducted by Count von Bern-. storff in America and what they de- scribe as the masterly inactivity of the late British Government. The more gen- eral impression ie that the agitation in America for an embargo on food ex- ports had much to do with Mr. Wilson's action. It is aleo suggested that the President may have received special information from the German Government and is aware of the extent to which Germany is prepared to go toward “reparation, restitution and guafrantees."”” This is the view expressed by the Daily Chronicle. Some discussion is also devoted to the chances of Congress passing food export measures and possibly an embargo on cotton and war materials. Says German People Are Deceived. The Manchester Guardian says: “The German people are * * * kept quiet only by assertions that England intends the utter destruction of their country. This is untrue and the sooner the truth is conveyed to the German people the better for a chance of saving civilization from an indefinite continu- ance of the carnage. “If this were done the Government would occupy a very strong position in replying to the American note.” The Guardian contends that Great Britain has done her part in indicating her views and that it is‘now for Ger- many to say what she has to propose. The Morning Post regards President Wilson’s “detachment” as passing be- Hef and freminiscent of the attitude of the antique gods. The Post says: “We had supposed by this time even the Americans realized what the nations were fighting about, but as they pro- fess ignorance we ‘shall attempt to ex- plain the matter*to them. Germany set out to conquer Europe.” If the United Kingdom, like the! United States, had stood aside, the pa- per argues, Germany Might have suc- ceeded and then, with Zurope conquered. there would have remained the United States. “Does President Wilson suppose that the Monroe Doctrine and the American cient to defend the vast, rich and almost unprotected territory of North and South America?” asks the Morning Post. “The President speaks of coming to terms. tow, we ask him, can these terms be enforced if Germany chooses to break them tomorrow as she broke them yesterday? Will the United States pledge themselves to fight for the pres- ervation of any future terms?. If they are to make such a pledge they’ must or- ganize themselves for war, -but if they refuse such pledge, in accosdance with their traditional policy, we ask them by what means, short of the defeat of Ger- many, is another such unprovoked at- tack on the liberties of Europe to be pre- vented. 7 “When we remember certain humilia- tions the United States have undergone, we can understand Mr. Lansing’s state- ment that the United States ts being drawn.near the verge of war. “If the United States chodses to enter the war on our side we shall welcome them as a great and'powerful ally whose intervention would shorten the war and benefit the world. Short of that we fail t> see how an immediate peace is pos- sibie.”’ Credits Presidént With Sincerity, The Times credits President Wilson with complete sincerity, but fears that his suggestion will be misunderstood, and has no doubt whatever regarding the reception the note will havé at the hands of every allied Government and nation. They, according to the Times, will unquestionably treat it as Lincoln and Seward treated all suggestions of Buropean interference in the Civil War. * es , The .Premiers 9f England, France, Italy.and Rupaia, says the Times, “have ali plainiy and vigorously declared the course desired by Germany to be ut» terly inadmissible, and any variation of this view out of deference to Presi- dent Wllson’s views ts altogether un- thinkable. “The :urprise at the President’s step will be intensified by the contrast te- tween the state of mind reflected in his note and the chorus of approbation with which the chief organs of Ameri- can opinion were hailing Mr. Liocyd- George’s rejection of the German peace may have failed to gauge the trend of the best American opiftién. * * *¢ “We should have supposed that by [to pacifist among the London newspa- tas a direct answer to President Wilson. on the field of battle. The enemy af posing |s victorious aggressors in the very @ocument in which they conde- scendingly summon the allies to nese tiation. “Under such conditions it would be a crime against our dead and against the future generations to acknowledge the triumph of militarism and confess the failure of democracy. For these rea~- sons we canhot listen to President Wil- sot’s piéading. We trust it will be treated by all the allies with the eee ity it deserves, but we are confident 1 will not stay the hand of any of them in vindieating the liberty of nations. Recalls Civit War Situation. The Daily News, which is the nearest Ts, Says: MNO one can fail to appreciate the spirit In which the proposal, is made or approve the cautious terms in which it is couched. The history of the great struggle in his own country is too Te- cent and tod memorable for President Wilson to be unaware.of the perils of too hasty intervention. From our side tion that haunted Lincoln, especially in those days when the cause of the North was passing through fts darkest phase. “Mr, Wilson is far too wise to add that trouble ta. the enormous burdens of the nations engaged in the struggle for lib- erty not less vital and far greater. Hoe is taking soundings... If he finds the water still too deep he will withdraw his plumb line and wait until & more favorable opportunity.” : The newspaper says the central Pow- ers would accept the note eagerly and despite their arrogant tone, the door should not be barred and bolted in their face, If they hive terms to offer the allies shotld table thelr own proposals. The Daily Néws says there is uo suf- fering in America comparable with that in Lancashire during the cotton famins brought about by Lincoln’s blockade and says it does not believe the American people will put the disability they are suffering in the scale against victory of human liberty over despotism. Calle Note Profound Mistake. The Daily Chronicle says: “As a liberal newspaper which has always madsé a special feature of en- deavoring to bring Great Britain and’ America closer together, and throngh evil report as well as good has cham- pioned the progressive ideals of the United States in this country, We ask our friends across the Atlantic to be- lieve us when we say no American state paper in our generation has been calcu. lated to cause so much pain, not merely to Englishmen, but to liberal opinion throughout Southern and Western Hu- rope. “The note ia in effect, however differ. ent be its intention, an appéndia to that lately received from Bertin.’ Saying that it is not based 6n the grounds of humanity or injury to the United States, the Daily Chronicle says: _ “We are bound to observe that with only the recent exception in the matter of the Belgian slave raids, in which the enemy flouted his remonstrances, President Wilson never in the face of unparalleled openings intervened on the ground of humanity before.” The newspaper then recoutits a list of atleged German outrages in Belgium ani elsewhere on which [t says President Wilson remained silent. It adds that he protested against the Lusitunia, Ancona and Sussex “massacres,” not bécause they were inhumane, but because Amer- icans perished by their inhumanity. "With this line—that humanity did not warrant intervention, but American ‘nteresta did—we have never quarreled.’’ continued the Daily Chronicle, “‘but since he omitted to intervene to stop crime, ts it consistent that he intervene now to hinder others from punishing the crim- inals?”’ The newspaper considers President Wilson’s statement that the objects of both belligerents are virtually the same is Most painful for Buropean liberals, and adds: “The President did not intend his words a5 an insult, but they are deeply insulting none the less, and none of the allied peoples can be expected to relish them. The good intentions of the’ note we do not impugn. Behind ali its infelicities and its great tnoppor-' tuneness stands the figure of the states- man we respect, but he has mads &@ profound mistake.” Quotes President Lincoln. “The United States owes an immense debt to France, its sister republic, which it cannot liquidate by counselling an ig- noble surrender,” says t Dally Mail. The Dally Mail quotes Liftcoln: “Tt ts an issue which can only be tried by war and settled by victory. The war will cease on the part of this Government whenever it shail have ceased on the part of those who began it,” and says peace While Germany “is in possession of her plunder would rivet her fetters on the world for generations.” “There are two considerations,” the Daily Mail concludes, “that we would suggest to President Wilson, belfeving his mind to be both candid and de- tached. Let us suppose péace is con- cluded before Germany is beaten in the field (ahd he evidently thinks she ts met beaten so far), what guarantee is there that she will not repudiate a new treaty the moment fi suits her pur- pose? How will it rid the world of this plotting and intriguing military despot in Berlin if William II is permitted to . call on his weak neighbors to cut their! throats and then escape peacefully and happily with their property. The war cannot end untfl Germany has over+ thrown the bloods y, unscrupulous military tyranny sbe is now trying to impose on us or until the last man in this country who loves liberty is killed.” Bonar Law's speech in the House of Commons was regarded at Westminster It was delivered with a degree of feeling which Law, the most unéemotional of statesmen, had never displayed before. it was the spectér of Buropean interven: |, Rie «> sites r Rae. tore sees arg ar aa RS.

Slippery streets last night caused many automobile accidents and the in- jury of many persons, the most serious accident being at Nineteenth and Olive streets, where an automobile driven by Wiiliam Cannady, secretary of the Iili- nois State Bank of East &t. Louis, skidded and turned around twice when Cannady attempted to stop it to avoid a collision with an Olive street car. I! stopped in the car track, was struck by the car and wrecked, two women being injured. Mrs. Sarah O’Leary, 28 years old, 6f 1824 Belmont avenue, East St. Louis, suffered a fracture of the skull, and Mrs. Birdie Schumacher, 31, of 510 North Thirteenth street, East St. Louis, suf- fered a broken collarbone and internal injuries. Norman Swayton, 12, of 815 Pennsylvania avenue, East St. Louis, was cut and bruised. The women were taken to the city hospital. Cannady was driving the party to Union Station and when he approached Olive’ street on Nineteenth saw the street car. The automobile skidded on the icy street when he tried to stop quickiy. Miss May Luchow, 19. of 3623 Hum- phrey street, was struck by an automo- bile driven by Herman L. Brocksmith of 6726 Vermont avenue, when she alfght- ed from a Grand car at Humphrey street. Brocksmith took her to St. Atr thony’s Hospital, where physicians said she was stiffering from concussion of the brain. He was arrested. An automobile driven by Henry F. Hines of 6905 Washington avenue skid- ded and collided with an automobile mail truck driven by Hiram Rogers of 4615 Sacramento avenue, at Delmar and Clara avenues. The mail truck was thrown onto the sidewalk and Oliver O’Neill of 5762 Theodosia avenue, a mail collector, was thrown through a slow window of the Judge & Dolph drug store at that corner. O'Neil was cut. and bruised but was not injured seriously. Leroy Schneider, 17, of 2550 Belt ave- nue, a Western Union messengtr, was injured when an automobile driven by T. W.

EXPRESS COMPANIES ALMOST. SWAMPED Unprecedented Rush of Gifts Being Sent From St. Lduis Offices. 3 A Christmas rush of express busi- ness exceeding anything ever before experienced is almost swamping the local tacilities of the express com- panies. The iavish sending of gifts by people who are prospering from higher wages and generous bonuses is partly the cause, but according to local express officials there are sev- eral vuther reasons. The volume of business has been in- creased enormously by food products and other things ‘which ordinarily would have gone by freight. This is due in part to a scarcity of freight cars all over the country. Many merchants have ordered shipments by express in the hope of hurriedly replenishing stocks which were unexpectedly depleted by the purchasing power of a prosperous working class. In some cases carloads of bottled beer have been consigned by express because the thirsty consumers feared freight would not get it to them in time for the holidays. Two carloads yester- day had been waiting several days for dispatch. Large quantities of electric lamp globes were waiting on the ex- press platforms yesterday for shipment. There is an unusually large amount bf live and dressed poultry being sent by express. Canned goods also. are be- ing sent by express. The companies are accepting all consignments offered, but they freely admit that there may be delay in delivery. They are working ex- tra men, but they are handicapped by shortage of cars and loading facilities. PLAN TO MEET FEDERAL DEFICIT WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Representa- tive Garner of Texas, Democrat, mem- ber of the Ways and Means Commit- tee, announced today that he would soon introduce a resolution to put a horizontal tax of from 10 to 12 per cent on all importa except salt. ‘a 10 per cent horizontal tax would net about $2256,000,000 a year at the pres- ent rate of imports,’’ Garner said. ‘This amount, added to the sale of the re- maining Panama Canal bonds, would ‘meet the threatened deficit.” The public is just beginning to realize ‘that letters written by Lincoln are gems 6f scholarship.

The grand jury, it is said, would this afternoon. resume its inquiry, be- gun yesterday into commercialized vice. Police officials and _ social workers will be questioned. Witnesses Neard yesterday were J. Lionberger Davis, Roger N. Baldwin, Sam B.*McPheeters, Augustus L. Ab- bott, Mrs. John. W. Day and Miss Catherine Fertig. It is understood that some of the.wit- nesaes placed the blame for commer- ‘clalized vice on politicians, who are said to pay rent for houses occupied by certain women, and for at least 45 men who derive their income wholly or in part from the women. Testimony was also given that “segre- gation did not segregate,’’ when it was practiceti here, and that the segregated district, at the time when the Police Board ordered it closed, contained only 400 women, out of a total of more than 2500 women of thts class in St. Louis. The witnesses are said to have held that vigorous enforcement of the excise laws would help the vice sit- uation. Woman law-breakers make their headquarters, it was declared, in winerooms and saloons of a sort which woyld not be permitted to op- erate under a strict enforcement of the laws. The need for co-operation of police courts was also mentioned, and the record of one Police Judge, in handling this class of cases, was mentioned. Complaint was made by some wit- nesses, of real estate firms which in- sisted on their right to rent property for disorderly purposes. A recommen- dation to Governor-elect Gardner was discussed, that a law like that of IHi- nois be framed, by which persons rent- ing property for disorderly purposes should be civilly and criminally liable, and should be forbidden to rent the property for any purpose within a year after conviction. The grand jury took up the vice situ- ation on its own motion, interrupting its inquiry into, election fraud charges in order to do so.

The company oper- ates the electric railway across Eads Bridge. The suit was filed by James Hager- man Jr. in 1908, when he was City Col- lector. The petition alleged that the company owned property in Missouri valued at $186,000, on which taxes for 1907, amounting to $496.66, was due. Judge Kinsey grants judgment for this amount and a penalty of 1 per cent a month for eight years and 11 months, $201.93 attorneys’ fees, making the total judgment $8558.02. In his decision he said he found the company owned 346-1000ths of a mile of street railway track in St. Louis, measuring from the river channel to the west end of the bridge. engaged in interstate commerce and amounting to $316.63. He also allows. The company contended that it was} ISBEING TRIMMED 45-Foot Cedar Is Being Placed in Coliseum—40,000 Gifts to Be Put on It.

The Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival tree is being placed in position in the and decorated in séea- sonable and elaborate style under the f Chairman Stephen A. Martin and his. associates of the Tree Committee. The Union Blectric Light and Power Co., following its annual custom, is wiring and will light the tree during the festival in honor of the thou- sands of children who will be guests of the Christmas Festival, on which occa- sion nearly 40,000 articles. in the line of dolis, toys, caps, knives and candy will be distributed. The tree was hauled to the Coliseum today, after a parade of downstown streets, by the Bell Telephone Co., which found it near Catawissa, Mo.. on land belonging to W. R. F. Kramma. John Cleeland, forester of the company, superintended the felling and transpor- tation of it to this city. It is a splendid specimen of the Missouri cedar, stand- ing nearly 4 feet high, and has a spread of 40 feet. Every expense at- taching to the tree until it reached the door of the Coliseum was paid by the Bell Telephone Co. At the same time selection of a tree for the Post-Dispatch Christmas Fes*|- Val was made by the-telephone com- pany’s representative, one was also pro- vided for the municipal Christmas fes- tival on Twelfth street. It also was a gift from the Bell Telephone (Co. “If IT am not mistaken, the manage- ment of the, Post-Dispatch Christmas Festival conceived the idea of the kosh- er food basket for indigent Jewish fam- ilies for the first time since the Festival institution was inaugurated,’’ Dr. Alex S. Wolf wrote in forwarding a sub- scription of $3 to the fund. ‘TI congrat- ulate you upon this excellent departure, and hope that many of my Jewish brethren and sisters in this city will express their satisfaction with this inno- vation. It betrays a delicate consider- ation for the religious feelings of the Jewish masses.”’ . While the Festival is largely a local affair except the dinner to homeless men, who hail from many quarters of the globe, the Christian sentiment from which springs the contributions to the fund is being manifested at many points beyond the confines of St. Louis. In recently received subscriptions there were three from Illinois. These were $25 from the Troy Exchange Bank of Troy, $i from Mrs. Nellie M. Altom of Patoka and % cents from Vera Ber- ger, 8 years old, of Madison. The )at- ter, in her letter accompanying her con- tribution, expressed the “hope that it will make some poor little girl happy.” These are but the latest evidences of the widespread interest in the Post- Dispatch Christmas Festival, which for years has had hearty co-operation from many points in Dlinois and Missouri, following continued and substantial de- velopment of the Christian spirit in St. Louis. Another splendid feature of the’ Fes- tival and one that shows steady annua! development, is the cheerful giving by little children of this city whose for- tunes are cast in happier. lines thah is that of the thousands who each year find their only Christmas joy in the hospitality of the Post-Dispatch Christ- mas Festival.

ITS TIMELINESS DISCUSSED Called Stand for Humanity and’ the U. S.. for Which No | Apology Is Necessary. Editorials in American newspapers. generally voice the hope that the President's notes to the belligerents will be an important step toward peace. Excerpts from editorials in some of the leading newspapers of the country telegraphed to the Post- Dispatch @re as follows: New York Sun: For its part, the Sun is content to allow the original note to speak for itself without regard to the subsequent explanations and ex- planations of explanations. We com- mend the main intent of the President to emphasize and accelerate the obvi- ous tendency of the present situation toward the consideration of terms which may result in a satisfactory and lasting peace. We believe that in choosing this time for such initiative as is within his power he has chosen well. We are glad to stand With him in his proposals. barring that which seems to indicate 2 willingness to abandon the traditional American policy. Let there be light in Germany and there may be a peace on terms honorable to Germany, because they are just to the inrocent victim of aggression and right to the vision of the world’s moral sense. Time: Thc response of the allies to the President's note we know in ad- vance, It is only as to Germany's real purposes ag to the terms upon which she would be willing to make peace that we are in the dark. It was with a view ‘to getting light from that quarter, we are convinced, that the President wrote and dispatched the note. On any other basis of interpretation the note is in- consistent with itself and with the cir- cumstances of the time. The great sat- isfaction in Germany over the Berlin suggestion of an exchange of views about peace, transmitted through our Government, the elation caused#in Ger- man quarters by the President's note are what might have been expectéd as the welcoming of an event ardently longed for. It is the general opinion and belief that Germany wants peace, that she is in a position where peace has become, or surely will become, an urgent necessity. New York Tribune: Now that Mr. Lansing has said so much, the Amer- ican people are entitled to know all. and they will await an explanation patiently. We are on the verge of war? Mr. Lansing has announced it. Very well, who threatens us? Is it Great Britain’ Is it Germany? -Is it Bulgaria? ts it Portugal’ We should know and we must know. A final interrogation: Did the Presi- dent, feeling that the United States was on the verge of being drawn into the war, ask the belligerents to state their purposes that this nation ight decide which alliance to join?’ Mr. Lansing has wholly transformed | the characte: of the President's ac- tion. Neither the President nor the Secretary of State can now refuse to ae hieage Tribune: The addendum to President Wilson's peace note to the belligerents, a postscript over the name of Lansing, was one of alarm. The United States, already in the war economically, was being drawn into it militaristically. Mr. Lansing having said it, regrets it, did not. mean 1t, wishes it left out of consideration. Germany is asking for a peace: con- ference. Mr. Wilson is backing up the German request. At the same time our Government was saying that if peace were not reached soon the United States was apt to become a belligerent. The natural inquiry was whether the threat that the wealthiest nation in the ‘world might soon join the entente was offered as a reason for the entente making terms with Germany. The note to the belligerent powers was) intelligible. The explanation of why it was sent was not intelligible Ameri-- can sentiment is so earnestly desirous of peace—leaving the husbands of war brides out of consideration—that no ex. planation of an effort to arrive at peace was necessary. President Wilson does not have to apologize to the American people for trying to advance the cause of peace. - Chienge Herald: The American i . tion yesterday was confronted for sev- eral. hours at least by the anomaly cf ite President urging peace and its Sec- retary of State threatening war. Mr. Wilison, in a note to all belligerents, be- —_——— pf : ‘KE fi i Vincent Jankosky, an automobile re- pairer, of 146 Franklin avenue, who has served two workhouse terms on charges of passing bogus checks, was arrested again yesterday on a similar charge. ‘ The handwriting on a number worthless checks recently padsed in Louis and St. Louls County has compared by the police with one $2.60 which Jaakosky ‘tried to pass terday on Frederick Hoffman, a hard- ware dealer at 6631 Manchester avenue.

Cook Will Oppose Gov- ernor-Elect’s Proposed Re- form Bill. \. fight to re-establish the contract labor system in the Missouri Peniten- tlary, in opposition to the plans of Governor-elect Frederick D. Gardner, Lieutenant - Governor - elect Wallace Crossley and the Gardner Prison Con- ference, will be made by State Senator Sam B. Cook of Jefferson City, former Secretary of State. It became known at the conference at the Planters Hotel yesterday, at which a bill permanently abolishing the contract labor system, and. providing for many prison reforms, was approved, that Cook will introduce an opposition biJl providing for hiring the convicts to prison contractors at a price of $1 a day, the prisoner jo receive 20 per cent of his earnings for his own benefit or the benefit of those dependent upon him. The present contract rate is 7 cents a day. Governor-elect Gardner is determined that the contract labor system, which has been so generally condemned by all progressive thinkers, shall not be re- established in this State. Under the provisions of a law enacted by the last Legislature the contract labor system terminates in the Missouri Penitentiary Dec. 31 The plan proposed by the Gardner conference and embodied in the bill to be introduced in the Legislature early ir the session, is to work the convicts upon a prison farm, in rock quarries, in the manufacture of articles for the State institutions and county jails and poorhouses, and upon the roads of the State. It was the opinion of the # or 50 members of the conference, many of whom were members of the Legislature, that the State, in this manner, could provide employment for all the inmates of the penal institutions.

Good roads legislation, proposed in bills to be introduced into the coming session of the Legislature, was dis- cussed last night at a dinner .of the Federated Road Associations at the Mercantile Club by men who are active in the good roads movement in Mis- souri. A bill which has been drawn up to enable Missouri to share in the $75,000,- 000 roads appropriation of Congress was explained by Harry B. Hawes, Repre- sentative-elect to the Legislature. The national appropriation will be. spent over a period of five years and Mis- souri’s share, if the State qualifies, will total $2,545,806. 15. Under a ruling of the solicitor of the Public Roads Department, Missouri cannot receive any of this money unless the State has a Highway. Department, and this is what the bill Hawes spoke of would provide. He would have a State Highway Commission. of four members, two Republicans ‘and two Democrats, and they would receive only traveling expenses and a per diem com- pensation. The sense of the meeting twas that a State system of highways. should be constructed systematically, making the best use of State and Federal funds. The meeting. was presided over by Dan- ie! C. Nugent, president of the Federa- tion. He spoke of the difficulty farm- ers have getting over the roads, espe- cially at this time of year. Congressman Dorsey W. Shackleford of the Eighth Missouri District dis- cussed his efforts to have the Federal read law passed and told of the.diffi- rn nase medley per ouch be tebe in Missourt now are outside of ] mobiles &t.

L. Davis, recording secretary of the Hast St. Louis Women’s Civic Federation, said that.the greatest obstacle in con- tending with lawless conditions is that public officials encourage lawlessness by “their notorious failure to discharge their duty.” The federation voted at a‘ meeting} Dec. 11 to. send a letter to Judge Landis thanking him for causing: the city offi- cials to determine to enforce the Sun- day closing law against saloons. Judge Landis, just before Thanksgiving, had publicly rebuked Mayor Moliman and Chief of Police Payne for winking at violations, and his action was followed by an announcement by Mayor Moll- man that the laws would be enforced, beginning Jan. 1. | Judge Landis’ letter, which will be read at the next meeting of the fed- eration, Jan. 8, follows: I thank you for your letter of Dec, 14 and most earnestly hops that your efforts to improve conditions will meet with the success they so ob- viously deserve: The great discouragement. such situations as you folks in Bast St. Louis are contending with is in the one fact that those charged with the enforcement of public laws, by their n failure to discharge their duty, thereby encourage all persons criminally inclined to vio- late the law. — os i o Mi -_ E | bE ig3 i BSE i - - * Jt 4 iS culties.

We want to govern our con- duct in the light of full information as to the ends sought by the belligerents. The. German group heving gained advantage in the conquest of small nations and territorial acquisition, accepts the President’s note as an aid to ita ardent desire for peace. This group insists thet it is fighting for national existence, but the President wants to mieasure this claim with its peace demands. — The British allies, having checked their power- ful enemies, and seeing a growing advantage in superior resources resent the President’s note and insist they are fighting for justice, liberty and humanity. The President wants to know how far their claim is consistent with their peace terms.’ The President asks them all in the name of humanity to show their hands and put their cards on the table that neutrals may judge the right- eousness of their causes.

In the candidacies of John F. Morton for Preai- dent pro tem of th Senate and Frank H. Parris tor Speaker of the House there is a harking back to the old time when the “Old Guard” was in the Democratic saddle in Missouri. Both of these men are strong, able and popt but both were identified with Democratic rule fn the State Legislature when the party was under control of corporations and corrupt lobby influ- ences. Both were leaders of powerful groups which controlled legislation and which brought the party to the verge of ruin. Representative Farris, then Senator, was {n- dicted for bribery in connection with the Baking Powder scandals. After two trials he was ac quitted. Senator Morton was a power in opposi- tion to the popular interest and the popular will. The Democratic party is not intrenched in pow- er in this State. Its candidate for Auditor was beaten and its candidate for Governor barely escaped defeat in the recent election. The party was saved practically by the strength of Presi- dent Wilson. It cannot afford to affront the people and fail to meet expectations of progres- sive legislation. The party must go forward, not backward, if it is to survive.

Progress has penetrated even to the jury room. It is recognized at last that the lone juror who holds out for acquittal is a human being With the same rights as the eleven who vote for conviction. Up to now the stubborn juror has received all the blame for every jury deadlock. By common consent he has been looked upon as a mule in disguise. There is a story the lawyers tell about a jury that was deadlocked and the Judge ordered the 12 peers brought in. The foreman said there was no use trying any longer to reach a verdict. But the Judge told them to go back and try again and he would send their dinners in to them. “Make it 11 dinners and one bale of hay,” said the foreman. Maybe the foreman was right. But maybe the order should have been one dinner and 11 bales of hay. A majority may be just as mulish as a minority. Now comes an 11-to-1 jury in Judge Shields’ court, and what a difference. The foreman tells thé Court how they stand and that the lone juror is firm in his convictions and adds that the eleven have told the one that they want him to do what he thinks is right and not violate his convictions for the sake of reaching a verdict.. No wonder Judge Shields discharged the jury before dinner time. Hay-on-the menu, for a jury like that, would have been a distinct socia) blun- der. a THE PRINCESS DE OCHIMAY.

A new item will appear in the list of Canada’s exports this year. It is going to send a railroad to a new and urgent market abroad. It is tear- ing up the rails and ties of 225 miles of its lately completed, Government-aided Grand Trunk Pacific line west of Edmonton and will send them to Northern France to be relaid for military uses back of the firing line. The tracks removed are paralleled by those of another line, but that line is some distance away and the settlers in a promising stretch of coun- try’ will be deprived of an important aid. A most ambitious scheme of internal improvement for which Canada ran heavily in debt will ‘ac- cordingly be checked, but the high price of steel, the scarcity of available rails and the pressure of. military necessity made the move unavoidable. And, anyway, while the war is in progress little of the migration to unsettled lands which the line was designed to promote can be expected. Perhaps after serving clamorous needs of war, this railroad may be reimported to take up again the more useful and beneficial purposes of peace. -_—_————04e—____—_- Disarmament should become the slogan of all Europe.

IS FEE IS MORE i ‘WE MONEY 1 WON - othe ‘Marriage by Capture” Called Woman’s Bondage ferior, of man! Of course that is nothing new— to woman. Deep down in her heart she always has known that in the human world she is born queen bee. Unfortu- nately, for centuries she has been selling her birthright for a mess of pottage—a mansion, meals and “Mrs.’’ before her name. So it will be eminently good for her to open her eyes and read of what she has lost by her abdication, in an in- forming and authoritative book just published, “The Sexes in Science and History,’’ by Eliza Burt Gamble. When she has finished with it she ‘should lerd it to the man she knows who most needs taking down a peg. For, tossing scornfully aside any as- sertions about woman’s equality with man, Miss Gamble sets to work to prove, with keen logic and a wealth of corrobo- rative detail, that woman is the tree, man the branch; woman is the chariot wheel of progress, man the fly on the rim. In short, that the race began with Eve, Adam being an afterthought who never has quite caught up. Even the most modest and democratic of men has no doubts of the physicai superiority of the male over the female. But Miss Gamble denies this doctrine at the outset. “That the me OEE ea se of the male organism are already beginning to inter- pose themselves between man and many of the occupations and activities of ad- vancing civilization is only too appar- ent,” she says. Then she asserts that men are deficient in sight and touch as compared to women. She cites a recent test in Boston public schools, by which WW tere is the superior, not the in- was color blind, while among the girls the defect was extremely rare. She also points out that work in the Treasury Department requiring the most delicate and acute touch is invariably performed by women. “Add to man’s defective vision,” she sums up uncompromisingly, “his lack of physical endurance, his liability to various organic affections caused by structural defects, and his abnormal ap- petites, which are constantly demanding for their gratification the things which are injurious to his mental and physical constitution, and we are enabled to judge to some extent of the obstacies against which in the struggle for exist- ence the future man will find himself obliged to contend." Why Women Will Win in Struggic Then comes the question of the in- tellectual competition between men and women. It was John Stuart Mill who Wedlock Pulled Sex Down From Its High Estate, Says Author in New Book—Man Losing Age-Old Power and His Mate Will Soon Excel Him, Writer Believes. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. give them a decided advantage in the struggle for existence. “All the facts which have been ob- Served relative to the acquirement of the social instincts and the moral sense prove them to have originated in the female constitution,’’ the author con- tinues, “and as progress is not possible without these characters, it is not dif- ficult to determine within which of the sexes the progressive principle first arose. Woman Gave Human Iedustry Its Start, “The part performed by woman in originating and developing human in- dustries is seldom referred to by these dealing with this subject. “Not only did women establish the first industries but they invented and constructed the tools and implements by which these industries were carried on. Women were the first tillers of the soil. It was they who conceived the idea of preserving seeds whereby farinaceous food might be produced. Corn was not only raised by them but by them it was ground and further prepared for use. They built clay granaries in which to store their food products and tamed the cat to protect them. Implements for tilling the soil and devices for grinding the grain were invented by women. They were the first architects and the it was proved that one boy in every 26, first builders. They first conceived the idea of making cloth with which to protect the body. They were the first spinnets and the first weavers. They invented the first spindles and the first looms. Their attempts at decoration were the beginning of art. All methods and utilities had to be worked and util- ities had to be worked out by woman’s unaided brain.” And then Miss Gamble reiterates the teaching of Olive Schreiner, another great feminist, and the author of ‘“‘Womeén and Labor,” by making it clear that women’s busy hands, in the dawn of the race, were not a sign of servi- tude; that women held an infinitely more dignified and worthy position than the idle, flattered parasites of today. “The fact is observed that woman assumed the role of protector and pro- vider, not as is commonly asserted be- cause she was compelled by man to become a beast of burden, but because she was the recognized guardian not only of infant life, but of the public welfare. The mother was the only recognized parent. As the land was held in common, women were econom- ically free. They were absolutely in- dependent of men for their support. Un- der these conditions the importance of | women’s position may be easily per- ceived.”’ Marriage Brought Her Down to Pres- ent Condition. And what brought down woman from her place of high authority? The thing that—some will tell you—still binds the wings of women today—marriage, or ‘marriage by capture,” as Miss Gamble calls it. It seems that primitive man tired of going to live in his wife’s house; presumably he didn’t like his mother-in- law any better than he does nowadays. But if he married a woman of his tribe he was not even. on an equal footing with her. So he began the prac- tice of stealing a wife from another tribe, whom he could’ treat as he pleased. “Marriage,’’ Miss Gamble avers, “still Deliver me, I pray thee, from the temptations of. the. telephone. Yea, keep mine hands from the reeeiver, howsoever much I ae desire to hear his voice. For she that summoneth a man during business Cote saying “Guess who this is!” is as welcome as a pet mosquito in August. . Give me the strength to Be “OUT” when he calleth without warning.

The development of the free municipal contests and the growth of the outing idea, have certainly contributed to the de- erease of Saturday and Sunday bleacher crowds here. But the poor work by the local team is generally believed to be the main reason. It is thought. the cheap stands would fill up in a hurry if the local clubs were flag factors. To controvert this view it may be ointed out that on one of the best undays the Browns enjoyed last season the grand stand was packed to the limit and standing room long before the bleachers were three- fourths filled. You can take your pick as to what the answer may be. * * * St. Louis Leads All.

ANDERSON, the much- featured golfer, thinks it would help the play of a lot of enthusiasts if lectures and discussion of the fol- lowing subjects were promoted: A working definition of timing. What is meant by ~»perfect rhythm? What do a mean by “throw- ing the club head at the ball’’? Its advantages and disadvant- ages? What are the different kinds of initial impulses fathered? What are the characteristics of each? What is the secret of clubhead acceleration? What are the different kinds of hip action? What are the advantages of a straight left arm? The disad- vantages? should we putt holdin with two hands instea All of which adds to the evidence tending to show that you can play golf and remain normal: but when you start to write about It—look out! Incidentally, Mr. Anderson’s list makes one wonder of golf if piayed with a club or a hypoder- mic needle? . * Picked the Wrong Man?

However, al- lowance must be made for the ten- sion under which he appeared and the fact that he had been out of the ring about one year. Cole Very Nervous. | Billy Cole was suffering from as much nervousness as McGovern was. I have seen this boy do 50 per cent better than he did last night. He had cause to be anxious, for he knew: he was boxing an opponent known for his skill, and he didn’t know but what all the old-time strength, speed and wonderful science had returned. Then. too, there was the possibility of his stopping. McGovern, and this meant much added renutation. from a right swing to the stomach. On each occasion he leaped to hie feet at once. It was a poor exhibiton. There was too much fiddling, clinching and holding, and tan lttle boxing.
