NEWS FROM FAR
AND NEAR

Washington, Dec. 10.-"Anyone who
thinks we can be beaten is talking
through his hat" said President Will
son addressing members of the Demo
cratic national committee at a lunch
con at the White House on Wednesday
at which party prospects in the 1916
election we're up for consideration.
The president said he thought it
wasI't necessary to use parliamentary

The Democratic party, he said, should
be in good order for the 1916 campaign
because it had carried out its pre-elec-
tion promises

U. S. ASKS INDEMNITY
DRASTIC NOTE SENT TO AUSTRIA
IN ANcoNA CASE.
Paw Demanded for Deaths-Washing-
ton Requests Reparation From
Vienna for Sinking of Liner.

Washington, Dec. 10.-The United
States government has sent note OF
a peremptory character to the Austro-
Hungarian government, to be pre-
sented by Ambassador Pentield at
Vienna, demanding full satisfaction for
the loss of American lives when the
Italian liner Ancona was torpedoed
by an Austrian submarine in the Med
iterranean. The communication is
couched in terms regarded as much
more severe than either of the notes
on the Lusitania case to Germany.
The demands made are these:
1. Complete disavowal of the act.
2. Punishment Of the captain OF the
Austrian submarine and any others
who may have been responsible for
the act.
8. Full indemnity for the families of
the American victims.
4. In view of the fact that Germany,
Austria's ally, has discountenanced
such methods of warfare, the United
States cannot understand why Austria
engages in it, and asks for assurances
against any repetition of the act.

WOULD END WAR PLOTS
CABINET ACTS TO PREVENT VIo-
LATIoN OF NEUTRALITY.
Members Confer With Secretary Lam
sing on Hunting Down and Pun
lshing Offenders.

Washington, Dec. 9.-Plans Of the
violations of American neutrality were
discussed at long conference in the
office of Secretary Lansing between
the members of the cabinet whose de-
partments are most closely connected
with such subjects.
The meeting was called at the sug-
gestion of President Wilson, who de-
clared in his message to congress that
"the hand of our power" should at
once close over and crush out "crea-
lures of passion, disloyalty and an
archy," who seek to make the United
States hotbed Of European intrigue.
Attorney General Gregory, Postmas-
ter General Burleson and Secretaries
Garrison and McAdoo spent more than
an hour with Secretary Lansing. They
went into detail as to the best ways
to carry out the presidents expressed
desires.
Every member of the official family
is directly concerned in preventing
neutrality violations. The post Office
department, with its corps of inspec-
tors, the treasury department through
the secret service and the department
of justice through its bureau Of in
vestigation are equipped to detect any
offenses of this character.
AS recently announced by the attor-
ney general, the facts gathered by
agents other than those Of the depart
ment of justice will be turned over to
that department for action, but each
branch of the government will look
into any suspicious circumstances
coming to it's notice and where there
is ground for further action it will be
taken promptly.

PLEA FOR LIVING WAGES
FOR LABOR IN DISTRICT
DR.. A. J. McKelway Says Industry
That Cannot Properly Compensate
Employees Is Curse.

Making a plea for a living wage for
employees in the District. DR.. A. J.
McKelway, national secretary Of the
child labor committee, in an address
at the Young Women's Christian As
sociation yesterday, said that an in
dustry that cannot afford to pay liv-
ing wages Is a curse and should'not be
allowed to exist.
Three things may happen when a
woman is not paid living wage said
Mr.. McKelway. "One is that the family
will make UP the deficit, the second
that charitable institutions make up
the difference between the salary. and
the third-rather exaggerated-that the
girl or woman may sell herself.
When an employer does not pay a
girl a living wage, when he does not
protect society from the need to sup
port her, she is thrown on the public.
An industry that cannot afford to pay
living wages Is curse and should not
De allowed to exist.
There is some relation between low
wages and immortality, but the great
majority of cases are the other way.
Most working girls have starved rather
than sell themselves"
Miss Florence Brown, general secre-
tary of the association, presided. Mu-
sica1 selections were furnished by Mrs.
Emile Douglas Maroon, Miss Jacobs
and Mr.. Stearns.

Wishes

If wishes were motors, the beg
gars would ride, and throw on us
voters the dust, in their pride.
But wishes won't carry man to
his goal, and beggars must tarry
down there in the hole. Il WISH
sighs the ditcher, the creature of
Drawn, that l was some richer
than Andy or John. But Fortune
is spurning a poor, honest jay,
and I'll go on earning dollar a
day" If he had quit wishing and
dreaming his dream, and spent
some time fishing in Knowledge's
stream if he'd made endeavor to
master some trade, he would not
forever be welding a spade; he
would not be sweating in gumbo
and clay, intent upon getting his
dollar a day. If wishes were
horses the beggars would ride,
but down where remorse is the
beggars abide. A wish is daisy
when backed up by toll, but if
YOU are lazy your wishes will
spoil. Your wishes are dizzy if
idly they grew, but if you get
busy they'll likely come true.
