Neutral Must Move for
Peace, Says Jane Addams

PARIS. June 12-Miss Jane Adams,
o fHull House. Chicago. who has ar
rived in Paris, says that she gathered
from conversations with statesmen In
England. Germany. Austria, and Italy
that 1t would be most difficult to infiu-
ence any Of the belligerents for peace
on account Of the fear that the sugges-
ton might be taken as a sign Of mill
tary weakness. All felt that the sug-
gestion must come from a neutral ma :
ton, preferably from the United States.
Miss Adams regards the question OF
Belgium as the greatest difficulty to
be solved. After seeing the French
statesmen, she will go to Havre to
talk with members of the Belgian gov
ernment. and then will return to New
York by way of London. In spite OF
the fact that the American ambassadors
have recommended that she take the
southern route home, she declared that
she was not afraid to risk the north
Atlantic crossing.

COMSTOCK WISHING
SELF OUT OF JOB
But Purist in Art and Literature
May Not Be Allowed to Quit
Postoffice.

Anthony Comstock. purist in art and
literature, is wishing himself out of a
perfectly good Government job that he
wished himself into forty years ago.
According to Mr.. Comstock, as quoted
in New York newspapers. he Is to be
let out as a United States postal inspec-
tor July In the routine reorganization
OF the New York office.
Quoting him further verbatim. he does
not care. even though he has fought
with whole hearted singleness of pur-
pose to ane on for forty years.
According to John c. Koons. chief in
spector OF the Postofhce Department.
dismissed. or otherwise severed from his
official connection. Further. quoting Mr..
koons. "he has no authority, and, so
far as known. no reason for making
the statements attributed to him"
koons Should Know.
Therefore. as Mr.. Rooms is the boss,
and has never been known to allow any
eauivocation Of that fact In any Gov
ernment department or division to
which he has given his efforts, 1t seems
that the redoubtable Anthong, censor
ne plus ultra, and publicity getter par
wishing himself out, as he was in wish
ing himself in.
News Of the official decapitation OF
Comstock Is variously reported as haY-
inG leaked from the Postoffice Depart
ment wireless. Evidently some one cot
the purport of the message mixed In
the DECIDING.
The name of Comstock Is not to be
deleted from the official list of postal
inspectors at New York: OF this fact
Mr.. Koons Is positive. Such action has
not been considered. he said. Mr.. Koons
does not confirm the sta tement that the
Postonice Department has become con-
vtnced that misdirected zeal has made
him undesirable as an official.
Hears of Shake-Up.
Here is an interesting account of the
vice crusader, as read by the New York
public today:
Quoting Mr. Comstock) Il under
stand that there will be a readjustment
OF offices on July !. and that my name
will not be on the new list.
Il don't care.
Il have held the appointment for
more than forty years. Most Of that
time had no salary. Finally Postmas-
ter Cortelyou forced a salary upon me-
II / wanted to fight they could not re-
move me except by preferring charges
for I am under the civil service. But
/ do not care. am glad to be relieved
Of the work. I have more to do than
can do. I'm glad to be getting out"
