chamber Of Deputies, was assas-
sinated today. Jaures was sit

strong opponent Of miIitarism
and capitalists and a firm be-
Iiever that international peace
could be maintained only by the
economic relations Of the world.
In debate he was foreeful when
necessity arose, and his invective
was scathing. He was born In
1859. His assassin, RaouI viI-

CARSON READY FOR SERVICE.
Peacemakers Busy.

VSaS0UJON0T0 0U0ys Ht+.
There are only two factors tonight
giving the faintest hope Of averting
general European war. First, Rus
sia and Austria are engaged again In
direct negotiations, and second, both
Great Britain and France are using
their utmost endeavors in favor Of
peace. On the other hand, Russia
has ordered a general mobilization
and Germany has declared state of
siege, which undoubtedly Is q pre-.
lude to, If it does not cover, m0biliza-
tion.
France Not Mobilixed.
France has not yet modified, but
at a cabinet council, which sat until
late at night, it issued DEGREES estab-
fishing moratorium, and taking other
action which could only be determin-
ed upon the eve of war.
Unofficially,. the French army vir-
tually is being modified. A very cir
cumstantial, though yet unconhrmed
report, published in Rome, says that
Germany is about to demand from
both Russia and France immediate
cessation of mobilization.
German Ambassador Leaves.
Yet another rumor is that the Ger.
man ambassador has notified the
French government of his early de-
parture. Great Britain practically,
though not officially, has mobilized,
and smaller European states, as
precaution, have ordered mobiliza-
tion of their armies. Belgium, Hol-
land and Switzerland have mobilised
to protect their territory from being
used as a highway for the belliger-
ents, and Norway, Sweden and Den.
mark, to guard themselves on gen.
eral principles.
Italy 10 Quiet.
Italy makes no announcement, al
though rumor credits her with q de-
cision not to participate in the strug-
gle, and there is little doubt that she
is making ready for mobilization.
Communication across Europe is cut
off and there is a universal applica.
tion of censorship, with the result
that it is impossible to obtain &C
curate knowledge of what military op-
erations are going on in Servia.
Many liners have Cancelled transat-
lantic sailings.

CHRISTMAS CHARITY TO

mas Gifts for Poor.

The spirit Of Christmas charity. at least
so far as the giving OF gifts to the poor
is concerned. noticeably will be absent
from the celebration of the day by Wash

will be unique among schools Of the coun-
try in this respect, as Christmas observ-
ances usually are considered incomplete
and inappropriate without some provision
being made for relieving distress among
the poorer classes
1t Is not by their own volition that the
school authorities have made no prepara-
tions for contributions; they are acting
In accordance with a ruling of the Con-
gressional appropriations committee
which last year adopted a resolution for

When asked II the authorities would
follow the example of the Cincinnati
school board in asking children to bring

would be repaired for the benefit of the

for prohibition of the liquor traffic is

situation concerning this question is
presented in the House that may in
volVe William J. Bryan, Secretary of
State, in difficulties with the admins
tration.
The "drys." OF whom Mr.. Bryan is
one, are anxious to postpone a vote
on prohibition. according to the House
leaders. The "wets' are insistent that
prohibition shall be voted on in the
House without delay. The 'drys" ex-
plain noses have been counted. and 1t
has been found that as the House is
now constituted II is opposed to the
constitutional amendment. The "drys'
want time in which TO marshal their
forces.
1t is the understanding that the
leaders of the dry movement will ap-
peal TO Mr.. Bryan to assist them in
delaying vote. The responsible
leadership of the House does not
agree with Mr.. Bryan that prohibition
is national issue" They are in ac-
cord with President Wilson that reg
ulation of the liquor traffic is func-
tion to be exercised by the respective
states. Mr.. Bryan has 4 habit of
pressed by the leaders that IL he
throws his influence on the side OF
those who want to delay action for a
time he will be able to control n sufi-
cient number OF votes TO hold the
constitutional amendment in the Rules
Committee.

Only few of the leaders in Congress
Identified with the prohibition amend
ment and strong outside influences are

The amendment was sidetracked last
July on grounds Of political expedi-
ency. Now that the elections have
passed most OF the opponents eof ma
tional prohibition believe the time has
arrived to vote on the question.

JURORS SAW THE GOWN.
Woman Said II Was Modest but
Wouldn't Wear 1t in Court.

New York. Dec when is a woman's
gown cut too low?
This is still the question with Mrs.
Milton \. Kleinberger. for although a
Jury in Justice Bougenshultz's court de-
cided one of her evening gowns was per-
fectIy modest, she herself positively re-
fused to appear in it in a public court
IoCm. From Mrs. kleinberger's tears, IN
the suit brought by Mis- Rose kerner.
the mOdiste who made the gown and sued
for payment, it was inferred that the
dress must be something unusual There
fore it was with mingled looks of ex-
pectancy and sheepishness that the jurors
filed into the Justices chambers to look
at the gown. Mrs. Kleinberger said she
would appear in it there, but not in open
court.
\ verdict against Mrs. Kleinberger for
SI3a, the amount due on two gowns, was
returned. The second dress Mrs. Klein
berger wore into court after putting II
on in the woman's room. 1t came to
within an inch of her shoe tops and was
also cut rather low in the neck.

That is. this number Of students have
hit the tree which in the Naval Acad-

in studies, which deficiencies must be
overcome before the semi-annual exami-

The Christmas tree notice comes more
in the nature OF a warning TO the de-
hnquents and It spurs them to greater
Efforts before the real test comes.
1t is understood that more than thirty
members of first or senior class are
among the delinquents. This is more
than the usual percentage. The total Of
laggards is approximately one-fourth of
the student body, which numbers about
