In this manner General Carranza

tcntion was called to the repeated
wounding and killing Of residents OF
the town on the northern side OF the

era1 Carranza, and since his back
was to the line it is difficult to see
how he could be responsible Tor the

reasonably clear that they and only
they could have been to blame.

Union Arrested for Picketing.
It was a bad day Tor officer 813,
otherwise known as Mike Hurley, to-
day when the union pickets, who had
been arrested by 813, found a judge
who couldn't see where picketing was
unlawful, as the restaurant trust has
decreed it to be. The jUTist who saw
the light today was Judge Stewart.
John Kempany, G S. Carman and
S. T. Steyans, members of the Cooks
Union, were walking peacefully in
front of 26 E. Adams street, Satur-
day, when they we're arrested by Hur-
ley, whose adventures during the
Heinrich strike are well known.
In court this morning a surprise
was sprung when Attorney John D.
Farrell, counsel for the men, an
nounced he was ready to go to trial
Immediately instead of asking for a
jury trial, as has been done in the
past.
Hurley, floUndered, presented his
slim evidence. Then Judge Stewart
gave an opinion that was .strikingly
different than the opinion OF the res
taUrant trust and Judges McGoorty,
Windes and Baldwin.
Peaceful picketing is lawful" he
said, "and this surely is peaceful pick
citing. Therefore these men have a
lawful right to picket. I don't want
police officers to be bringing in such
cases. The police haven't a shred Of

Observation-Disclosures Carnegie, a
White House caller expressed decid-
ed opposition to a Christmas truce in
the European war. 1t would be un-
christian-like and immoral he said to
stop fighting and then resume 1t. He
added he did not believe any nation
which adopted such a suggestion was
doing it sincerely. Mr.. Carnegie
gave it as his opinion that the military
caste In Germany was responsible for
the war and that at the time hostili-
ties broke out the Kaiser was i'll and
opposed to the war.
"The Kaiser has told me that he
took the greatest pride in the fact that
he reigned for many years without
being involved in war;" said Mr.. Car
negie. But, he was surrounded by a
ring Of militarists who were eager for
war at any price" Mr.. Carnegie said
he hoped that the world would be so
Mortified over the war that perman-
ent peace would follow. Mr.. Carnegie
showed some interest in a suggestion
that he might be called upon by the
President to help bring about peace,
when the time came. 81 will do any

BRITAIN'S FLEET SUPERIOR
Admiral Fletcher Tells Congress The
Navy Superior To American Is
That OF England

Washington.-The ability Of the
American navy to successfully meet
the war fleet Of any nation except
Great Britain was asserted by Rear
Admiral Fletcher, commander-in-chief
of the Atlanta fleet, before the house
naval affairs committee. The posi-
bility Of conflict with Great Britain
was so remote, the admiral said, that
he did not believe in a naval policy
designed to control the oceans against
that country.
Admiral Fletcher was under exami-
nation all day by the committee at the
first public hearing on a naval appro-
priation bill held in many years. He
was piled with many questions about
the condition of the navy, judged by
lessons of the European war.
Although confidently declaring the
American navy was overmatched only
by that Of England, he added, that If
this country continued to build only
two battleships a year, Germany. on
the basis of her present construction
program, soon would be far in the
lead.

WESTERN NATIONS
WARN EUROPE.
Pan-Americaa Republics Formally Express
DisapPrssaI Of Invasion Of
Western Waters
IMPORTANT COUNCIL HELD
Secretary of State Bryan Presided AS
Chairman Ex-Offcio Over
Ambassadors

Washington.-Twenty nations Of the
western hemisphere expressed their
disapproval Of the effects of operations
of the European belligerents in the wa
tiers of the two Americas, and appoint
ed a commission Of diplomats to for
mulate practical steps contemplating
a more vigorous assertion Of the rights
of neutrals.
Gathered around an oval table In
the magnificent Pan-American Union
building the diplomatic representa-.
tives of the American republics, most
Of them under specific instructions
from their governments, urged united
action by the nations Of this hemi-
sphere to restore trade and remove
some of the burdens placed on COM
merce by the European wal. It was
the first international conference of
neutral nations which had assembled
in any part Of the globe since the Eu-
ropean war began and irrespective OF
llS pOSSiUlS ooiAnS
the present conflict, was regarded as
the birth of a new movement in inter-
national law for the definition Of the
right of the neutral as opposed to the
right of the b~elligerent.
Underlying the several speeches
made by the diplomats was a note
of warning that the presence Of bel
ligerent warships in the western hemi-
sphere already had produced grave
complications between American ma
tons and European powers, demon.
strating the vital need Of Pan-Ameri-
can solidarity. g..}'.
Secretary Bryan made the opening
speech, pointing out that the United
States sympathized deeply with the
plight of its neighboring republics and
declaring the innocent nations should
not be forced to suffer for the acts
Of the belligerents.
