On the that the President's note is the latest fruit of the German propaganda in America, certain papers here detlaim violently against the al‘ leged criminal negligence of the late Asquith government in not attempting methods of impressing Americans. A Weekly Dispatch cable today says that American national sentiment is generally favorable to the President's note, “which undoubtedly is largely at- tributable to the cunning of Bernstorff, who has taken and is taking the fullest advantage of every opportunity to ob- tain publicity for Germany's side of the cause.

B.- The unanimous vote of the Senate affirming that France can- not conclude peace with an enemy who ecoupies French territory coming at the same time as the peace note of the Swiss Government, has stirred anew the French press and public. The action vf the attitude of the entente allies toward President Wilson's proposals, while eon - fidence voted in the Briand Ministry. was regarded most favorably. The Foreign Affairs Committee of the Chamber devoted a large part of the session Saturday to an examination of President Wilson's note Wide Interest Gare: Presi@ent’s : Nete in TOKIO, Japan, | pee fs 2%6.—President | Wilson's note to the belligerent Powers has been delivered to the Japanese Gov- ernmént.

The prediction is voiced that Japan and her allies will reply to President Wilson in the epirit of hia Idea, but it is commented that they entered the war “in the role of peace,” and that the ef- forts to “overthrow German militarism" are based upon a desire to solidify per- manent world péace. All 232 Comment Waver- De r Swed- ish papers comment favorably om Presi- gent Wilson's peace proposal. The lend- ing Liberal paper; Dagéng Nyheter, says: SSS even | dent’s note as ‘diplomatic the Senate gave further indication of} not connected with the German peace | „President Wilson’s peace proposal i a well-aimed bullet, with many chances || to hit the mark. But there is @ strong impression that it will be difficult for both belligerents to comply. ‘There has been a certain bitterness before in neutral European countries that Wilson has been unable to compel a united peace intervention. Now, alone, he has a freer position and may act more} quickly. The German peace proposal seemed like the first dove from the ark in the waves of the war's flood of sins. Wilson's proposal causes a feeling as if the ark were landing upon Arrarat.” Stockholm's Dagblat, a Conservative paper, says: Wilson's proposal is wisely balanced and it will be difficult to refuse to comply. The case of the United States, that its position is becoming more inconvenient, is still more the case of the small neutral countries. It is to the interest of all the neutrals that nothing be neglected to make the possibilities of peace clear. All the neu- trals must “sympathize with Wilson's feasible proposal and with his action at a favorable psychological moment.” The Soziai Demokraten, a Labor party paper, says: Workmen all over Europe think that the first step to peace is to make the aims of the war clear from both sides. In that way, Wilson's pro- posal has a great meaning. It differs from the vague German proposal, which Wilson openly rejécts. In wishing an early and justifiable peace, Wilson's in- tertions seem to be to try to influence the allies to so answer Germany that the latter country must reply with a new proposal giving its conditions. ‘It is astonishing that Wilson as that both sides alm to save the rights of the smaller states. Austria’s brutal nots to Servia and the shameful violation of the neutrality of Belgium are curious events in a war for the rights of the . nations.” GERMAN COMMENT MORE FAVORABLE TOWARD NOTES ——— BERLIN, Dec. . by wireless to Tuck - erton, N. J.—The interpretation of Pres- ident Wilson's suggestions concerning peace are somewhat confused by the fact that first comment was based on the short extracts from his note re- ceived here and the additional fact that Secretary of State Lansing also made a statement eoncerning the which the German people are not sure has not been distorted, says the Over- seas News Agency. . “This confusion,’ the news agency adds, ‘is illustrated by the that the comment published by the Voassische Zeitung yesterday and today differs in important points. Yesterday the Vossische Zeitung considered the Presi- intrigue,” which had been prompted by a desire to shield England, and declared that. the nete ought to be received by Germany with the greatest distrust. Today's com- ment ‘by the Vossische Zeitung recog- nizes that the President's suggestions, in their main points, are reconcilable with Germany's attitude.

By Louisa Brooke. sae HEN Nancy Turner was 18 she was engaged to John Graham, the scapegrace of the village. But he was a spendthrift in love as well as in money, and after three months he ran away, leaving a string of bad debts and a broken heart behind him. Nancy stayed in Dulwich and became an old maid, living in solitary poverty in the old white house behind the elms. Public opinion fickle, jade, grew tired of pitying Nancy and decided that she had done a poor job when she let John Graham slip through her fingers. He had turned out well after all; his old bills were paid, he had settled down” in another town, married and pros- pered in this world’s goods. Besides it began to be whispered that Nancy wis „near. Old Man Turner had left her with a small income, but even the doc- tor said that she didn't eat enough, and here she was taking in sewing and even ‘going out by the day. -What was she laying it all by for, anyway? Dr. Gordon was more puzzled than any one, for he knew what the others did not, that Nancy Turner had in soine mysterious way squandered her small patrimony, and that she literally did not have enough to keep body and soul : together unless she worked.

Key, she whispered. ‘‘Under—loose —brick—hearth.”’ It was not hard to find, a small flat key, wound about with a rag. “Cabinet—bed’’—came the low mur- mur from the old woman's pale lips, ‘and the doctor opened the little door und took from the shelf a slender bun- le ot letters tied with a blue ribbon. Nancy's fingers closed over them feebly, then she pushed them toward the doc- tor. ’ “Bury em-—with me,” she said, and ture but full of flowers. Dulwich might carp and gossip, but it knew what was due to its oldest family. The doctor stood for a moment looking at the pea-e- ful face of his old friend, then he took from his pocket the precious bundle of letters. As he did so the ribbon slipped and the papers fell to the floor. He stooped to pick them up, stopped in amazement and hastily turned over the ones in his hand. Then he carefully collected the scattered leaves, retied the bundle and laid it gently in the dead woman's hands. The papers were John Graham's re- ceipted bills. * 50 TWH ] . 8 280 or BY MRS. f A. MI NEN SMUDGE. ‘@ mOTHER TABBY had two little kittens, Tippy-toes and Smudge. Tippy-toes was a black kitten, with “white on the end of each paw— hence her name; and Smudge was all -white excepting a black mark across one eye and extending on to his cheek hence his name, Smudge. Mother Tabby kept them clean and slick-looking; that is, she did the best she could. Tippy-toes was always clean with a shiny coat and she never stepped’ into the mud or any place that would soll her white shoes, of which she was, very proud. But Smudge was not 80 careful of his white coat, and he would es Smudge very meekly, for he never had heard anyone speak in such a cross inanner before. es, you did,“ said the Thomas cat, and then he struck Smudge with his paw and off went Smudge. Of course, being a cat he landed on his feet, but he was frightened and thought he was hurt. He began to cry, and all the tramp cats began making fun. “Cry baby, cry baby,“ they called out, “Why don't you go home to mam- ma and let her kiss the hurt place?“ They made such a noise that an- cther bottle came flying over the fence and this time Smudge had something to cry about, for the bottle struck him way until he looked very little like the ‘slick kitten his mother had dressed in the morning. ou look like one of those common Cad p cats,” his mother told him one ¥ when he came in looking worse than usual; “I should think you would have more pride; come here at once and let me smooth your coat.“ don't want to be smooth,’ an- gWered Smudge. “I never can have any tun to keep clean and slick all the timé. I wish I were a tramp cat. They have fun with nobody to boss them around, They can stgy out nights and sit on the back fence and sing and nave a good time.” N „es, said his mother, „they can sit in the least afraid on the head and his eye »egan to “Meow, meow,” cried Smudge. The tramp cats had run away and he was alone, and after a while he found there was no one to help him, sc he tried to curl up and go to sleep. But he had been sleeping in soft blan- kets too long to go to sleep on stone and he turned around and curled many times, but it was of no use; he could not sleep on that cold, hard place. With the eye that was open he saw some- thing move behind the garbage can. “That is a rat,” said Smudge. 1 guess I'll catch it.“ . But that was easier said than done, for when he came near to the rat he found it was a very. large one, and not oe him. “Why don’t you run?“ said Smudge. (Copyright, 1996, by H.C Fisher) — Does your mother know where vou are?!“ Smudge confessed that she didn’t. “Where do you live?“ asked the rat. “It’s a long way from here,“ said Smudge. “Well, you'd better morning.“ said the rat, for home.“ And off ran the rat, Smudge alone again. “Meow, meow,” he cried, for his eye was paining him now. sit there till “and then run leaving poor “Are you ready to come in and go to bed?” said his mother’s voice, and standing in the cellar window, Smudge saw his mother. “Meow, meow,’’ he called, running to her and rubbing his head against hers. How did you get here? he asked. Don't you know your own home?“ asked his mother, as she led him up- stairs. “You have been in your own yard an the time. ft hope this will be a lesson to you and that you will now be- have like a decent kitten and not want to be with those tramp cats again.“ toes asked him the next morning. But Smudge was far too unhappy to reply, for his eye was badly swollen and pained him. He will not care to go again,” her mother whispered; “he has had a les- son he will not care to repeat.” (Copyright, 1916, by the McClure Newspape: Syndicate, New York City.)
