one Of the latest movements In the
interests Of temperance IN Great BRIT
ain IS "seml-teetotalism, An organl2a-
ton has been formed which pledges It's
members to moderation IN the use OF
lntoxlcants, instead Of total abstinence
And It Is reported that this associa"
ton Is spreading with a great deal OF
rapidity. It's aim IS to induce people
who are not willing to give up the use
Of liquors entirely to consent TO use
them only at meal times. People VINO

tlrely. A button, with temperance
motto and the address Of the associa-
ton in Begraye Square is provided
and Il has come to be frequently seen
on London streets.
Already two associations Of semi
teetotalists have been formed one
confines It's members to drinking at
meals. ana the other demands abstin-
ence al meals, where children are pres
ent. and permits drinking at other
times Thus seml-teetotalism ought to
suit an classes
II viii be observed that this Is really
no new project. When the temperance
question was first sprung, temper
ance" was the real object in view Tee
totallsm was a second thought, Inspired
by the fact that few persons could Keep
temperate without total abstinence.
All drunkards, It was argued COM
menced by being temperate drinkers
The real danger was in touching the
cup at an, and if It was let alone en-
trely there would be no drunkenness.
semi-teetotalism win not be much OF
a success from the standpoint Of the
advocate Of sobriety

A PLEASANT VISIT
By Republicans from Chicago on
Speaker Cannon at Washington.

Washington. Dec. 11.-About so of the
members of the committee which is here
from Chicago to urge the holding of the
Republican national convention in that
city, called on Speaker Cannon, today,

THE work of that convention has al
ready been mapped out. Public sentiment
as voiced by the great multitude of the

If you or me; the Republican party has
ilwaye been and will always be controlled
by the sentiment of the great ma jority,
and that sentiment has already been ex-
pl essed and will be needed by the conven-
ton and the work of that convention
will be approved at the polls in November.
The Republican party has many great
leaders Among them that great leader
Of a sister state equal in business ability,
craftsmanship and devotion to public SER
vice of any citizen within our borders.
He is able to speak and he has spokcr for

great leaders in whom the Republican
party and the people have confidence, he
will in the future as in the past. devote

port to the common success.

GOOD. WORK.
Minister Bowen ReconciIes
Colombia and Venezuela.
They Will Try Luck Of Peace Instead
Of War, on His Advice.
Simply Another Instance Of What
Uncle Sam Can Do.

Washington, Dec. 11.-Through the
efforts of Herbert w. Bowen, the
American minister to Venezuela, that
country and Colombia are on the
verge of an agreement by which they
Will renew diplomatic relations. Mr..
Bowen, who is in Washington, on his
way BACK to Caracas from The Hague,
where he represented the peace power
before The Hague tribunal, has had a
conference whit Gen. Reyes, Colom-
oias special minister here, and as a
result that official will cable President
Marroquin urging an adoption of the
plan proposed by the American minis
ter. Mr.. Bowen will use his good Off
ces with President Castro to follow the
course he has. outlined. 1t is believed
here that the Presidents of Colombia
and Venezuela will agree to the Bowen
proposition, which provides for the an
polntment of consuls to the two coun-
tres, Feb. !. next. and for the appoint
ment of a Colombian minister to Car
acas, ard Venezuelan minister to
Bogota, month later.
In a conversation with a representa-
tive of The Associated Press, today. re-
sarding his visit from Mr.. Bowen.
On. Reyes said: Il want you to say
for me how deeply am impressed with
the observation-disclosures and ability of
Mr.. Bowen. He has just paid me
long visit and 1 shall upon my return
to Colombia tell my people what a
friend not only of Venezuela, but all
the Americas have in this able diplo-
matist. He is working for the good of
all America and I am sure his success
will be appreciated"
Gen. Reyes, tonight, returned the
call of Mr.. Bowen and the two spent
some time in further conference re-
garding the affairs of Colombia and
Venezuela. a..
The two countries have for some time
been on bad terms, each accusing the
other of aiding revolutions against it's
neighbor and the feeling finally grew so
bitter that diplomatic relations were
broken.
In American circles, tonight, the
news that MIR. Bowen had succeeded in
bringing the two countries together has
caused considerable comment and it
is regarded as an important factor to-
ward the establishment of peace in the
northern part of South America.

THE ALLEGED STATEMENTS
IF General Macarthur Brought to At
tertion Of Sec. Root.

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE state
nents attributed to Gen. Macarthur, as
contained iii last nights dispatches
from Honolulu, in which he is alleged
20 have predicted war in the immediate
future between the United States and
Germany, have come to the notice of
Secretary Root. In an interview with
The Associated Press representative
today, the secretary said that the only
information he had on the subject was
what he had seen in the newspapers.
He did not, however, regard it as a
case calling for action by him, mas
much as the dispatch quotes Gen. Mac
Arthur as saying that the statements
in Colonel Jones' report to Governor
Carter did not correctly represent his
views in any particular and utterly
nisrepresented them in some way. Sec
rotary Root made the assertion that re-
marks of this character delivered in
private conversation would not neces-
sarily shield an officer from the re-
uuirement of an exclamation, but he
said that General MacArthur's denial
carries with it the weight of an expla-
nation. He therefore would take no
action in the matter.

MRS. BENEFITS REASONS
For the Appeal Relating to Will Of Her
a.. Late Husband.

New Haven, Conn. Dec. 11.-Counsel
for Mrs. Bennett, widow of Philo S.
Bennett, today, filed a Tong statement
of the reasons for the appeal recently
taken from the decision of Judge
Cleaveland in the probate court in re-
lation to Mr.. Benefits will. In the
formal notice of appeal it was briefly
announced that objection would be
taken to all Of the requests in the Will
providing for trust funds for educa-
tional purposes to be administered by
Mr.. and Mrs. William j. Bryan, and
also to the appointment of Mr.. Bryan
as executor and trustee. That state-
ment was elaborated in the document
filed, today, which after repeating the
clauses of the will, to which objection
is taken. says in effect that Mr.. and
Mrs. Bryan induced and persuaded"
Mr.. Bennett to sign a paper addressed
to William ]. Bryan and to copy a
considerable part of another paper.
the said copy to be addressed to Mrs.
Bennett. The papers referred to are
the so-called letter by which Mr. Bry-
an and family were to be given $4,000
by consent of Mrs. Bennett, and a let
ter similar in purporf. which Mr.. Bry-
an produced in court.
The document continues: 1.-THE writ
ing addressed to this appellant, the
wife of Mr.. Bennett, did not state the
real and true arrangement which Mr..
and Mrs. Bryan had induced Mr.. Ben
nett to enter into with them. The fact
that the children of Mr.. and Mrs. Bry-
an are to receive $4,000 of Mr.. Ben
nett's money was not stated, but on
the contrary, the writing addressed to
the widow explicitly stated that If
William J. Bryan for any reason Is
unwilling to receive that sum for him.
SELF that he shall distribute the $780,
900 among educational and charitable
institutions, while in truth and fact
and in law, the letter addressed to Mr..
Bryan constituted him a trustee. for
his wife and children; and the, sum
Of $4,000. if received by Mr.. Bryan,
would belong. to his wife and chill
dren, all of which Mr.. Bryan and his
wife well Knew" ...
