terms Of peace. Colonel House may In
auire into the source of this informa-
ton.
Secretary Lansing refused to com
ment on the purposes OF Colonel
Houses trip, and in administration
quarters generally it was said that the
talk of peace mission was unfounded.
The only admitted objects are those
stated by Colonel House himself,
namely TO advise with American diplo-
matte officers concerning international
questions affecting the United States.
Among these is the Lusitania case,
which. in spite of an announcement at
the State Department to-day that "ne-
gotiations with Ambassador Won Bern
storff are still going on" is known to
be practically at a standstlll. The
State Department, it is understood,
realizes that no real progress can be
made with the imperfect means of COM
munication at the disposal of the Ger
man Ambassador.
1t is expected Colonel House will
proceed to Berlin at the earliest oppor-
tunity to confer with Ambassador
Gerard. The ambassador would CLEAN

Of the German naval and military at

Austria Hungary as a result OF the
sinking OF the Ancona. -.
Consideration of the state OF pubic
opinion in Germany because OF these
two acts of the American government
according to reliable information re-
ceived here, has caused officials in ber-
lin to decide that such settlement "a
might be satisfactory TO the United
States would not now meet with popu-
lar approval in Germany.
An agreement, it is said, was prac-
tically reached soon after the Ameri-
can note 70 Great Britain protesting
against Interference with neutral trade
had been published In Germany. Inc
note. il is said, created a remarkable
pro-American sentiment in Berlin, as
we'll as throughout Germany. At that
time. it is reported, public opinion
would have approved receding Dit

possible.
Negotiations between Secretary Lam
sing and Count Won Bernstorff, the Ter
man Ambassador, we're progressing
when the United States demanded the
withdrawal of Captain Boyd and | -
tain Won Papen. That act, according
to advices here, caused German opinion
TO swing back 10 resentment agalns,
the United States, because the pelet
prevailed that the attaches had done
nothing 10 warrant removal.
The demands on Austria and the Wig
orous terms in which the first note was
couched next attracted adverse criti-
cism in Germany, and the resentment
started by the request for the recalls
is described as having increased mate

German officials are said to be con-
vinced that an indemnity for the
Americans lost on the Lusitania and
something in the nature of a disayvowal
will be the only measures to satisfy the
United States.

Greer Urges Christians to Pay
Long Standing Debt.

Struggling men and women, fred by
appeals for their Jewish brethren in
the war zone. fought to reach the stage
at Carnegie Hall last night TO deposit
their return carfare or checks for
thousands Of dollars. Men snatched
their watches from their pockets, wom-
en- the rings from their fingers. From
the gallery and balcony came streams
of jewels and money, until the stage
was Uttered with money and valuables
totalling close TO 81 100000.
Basket after basket, filled with wal
lets, watches, diamonds, checks. pennies
and rings, were shot down the aisles.
Felix ". Warburg and Jacob II. Schir
gathered them in. The audience shout
ed until the beams Of the theatre shook
as Mr.. Wsrburg's voice battled with the
din in reading off the gifts. The poor
mans nickel was greeted with as much
enthusiasm as the $4,000.
Late into the night the woes of the
Jews abroad had been recited to the audi
ence that packed the great hall. Women,
unable TO stand the strain and crying,
were forced to leave. Men, strong and
weak, rich and poor. cried openly and
without thought of shame.
Louis Marshall, president of the
American Jewish Committee, had an

the war zone the Jews in America
were to raise 81, which would total

Mr.. Marshall said that 10000

GARRISON ASSIGNS
BACK SEAT TO I. R,

Idea After Others Made
Ii Popular.
Prom The Tribune Bureau.

Washington, Dec. 21.-Secretsry Gar
rison's Christmas card 20 Colonel
Roosevelt is in the form of state
ment issued from the War Department
to-day in which the Colonel Is politely
directed 10 take back seat when the
talk is Of preparedness. Mr.. Garrison
does not say who is the originator OF
the preparedness idea, but insists that
the Colonel is not. Mr.. Roosevelt, he
says. embraced IL only when it became
popular.
Friends Of Colonel Roosevelt say that
the Secretarys remarks are only an
other example of the "buffoonery' that
characterized his uttersnces during the
controversy over the Roosevelt speech
at Plattsburg last summer.
81 observe that Mr.. Roosevelt cele-
brates the Christmas season by pre-
senting himself with all the good
things in sight" Mr.. Garrison says.
Gle says. in effect, All policies
(Which are now POPULAR are mine.
He resembles the eager boy who comes
in from play to find a table full Of
goodies, prepared by his elders, and
touching all the most toothsome, says

Roosevelt, and being fearful of his
wrath, it is with hesitation that | point
out to him that this administration has
not only refrained from following one
of his policies, but has, on the con-
trary. repudiated it.
zone Of his policies was 20 reduce
the enlisted strength Of the army OF
the United States.
"Mr. Roosevelt became President on
the 14th day of September, 1901. On
the 31st day of May, 1902, the Secre-
tary of War Mr.. Root by the direc-
ton of the President (Mr. Rooseyelt)
issued an order reducing the enlisted
strength of the cavalry from 1880 to
14.040, Of the artillery from 1852 to
1872, and Of the infantry from $500
to 29,S80, or total reduction in the
enlisted strength of the United States
army of 800.
"Mr. Roosevelt is welcomed as q
convert upon the issue of preparedness,
but the front pew was already filled
before his conversion, and he must
now rely on the strength Of his voice
for recognition"

No one seemed to be sure which way
the Colonel might turn after his din
ner with the representatives of the
Steel and Standard Oil interests. The
fact that four good Democrats were
present at the dinner-Jacob II. Schif,
Richard V. Lindabury, A. Barton Hep
burn and August acknowledgements
the political significance in the minds
of some of the Republican leaders.
In the matter of preparedness, which
was said yesterday to have been thor
oughly discussed at the Gary meeting
the tax on steel and gasolene. recon-
mended by the President in his mes
sage as source OF income to meet
preparedness expenses, was reported TO
have figured. The report had it that
Judge Gary and his associates in the
Steel Corporation were anxious to aRl-
tate the question in Congress and find
a way 10 defeat the Presidents recon-
mendations in regard TO the tax. They
gladly turned TO Colonel Roosevelt for
advice in this matter. il was said.
President Wilson recommended tax
OF % cents a ton on pig iron. 90 cents
a ton on fabricated iron and steel and
! per cent on gasOlene and naphtha.
Colonel Roosevelt. through his sec
rotary, John McGrath, denied last night
the statement made by Ormsby Nc
Harg, one of the Colone's former cam
paign managers. that he intended to
enter the Republican primaries OF
many states as an active candidate for
the Presidency.
Colonel Roosevelt does not intend
TO enter the Republican primaries in
any states, and you can't put that too
strong" said Mr. McGrath
Colonel Roosevelt will speak at a
Progressive gathering in Philadelphia
on January 2S. He is scheduled for an
address in Chicago on Lincoln's Birth
day. February II. On February IA he
intends to go to the West Indies for a
stay of from two to four weeks. He
does not expect to attend the meeting
of the Progressive National Committee
in Chicago on February IL, it was said.
Members of the New York State Bar
Association are looking forward with
interest TO the address which will be
made at its annual meeting in this
city. on January IA, by Justice Hughes,
of the United States Supreme Court.
The subject of Justice Hughes's address
will be announced later.

"He had in mind, believe, certain
Western Senator, who, pussy-footlng
around in the hope that the Presiden-
tial lightning might strike him, has
been declaring how much the Germans
have been abused and how sad it is
that they are not better understood in
these United States. II would not be
fair to give names, but you can
readily identify the man. Roosevelt
has nothing against this man person
ally. But he let 1t be known rigAt
then and there that any candidate run
ming on a platform that does not stand
straight and clear on the question OF
straight-Out Americanism-that in any
way panders to our enemies al home
or abroad-will have to reckon on
fighting him.
"No man and no platform that
swerves in the slightest degree from
absolute loyalty 20 the greater Amerl-
canism, he made clear, can have his
aid or support. On the contrary, he
would, it was evident from his words,
fight such candidate with every
means at his command.
"But at neither the Gary dinner nor
the Collier luncheon did he seek to
advance the cand dacy of himself or OF
any other person.
"His interest in these gatherings. as
| venture 10 say it will be in others,
was in urging that the people OF the
United States and, through them, ult!-
matelv the Congress of the United
States, take prope rattitude on the
question of the greater Americanlsm
and national preparedness.
"If you say that the Colonel is work
ing not for a nomination, but, as every
American should work. to secure the
honor and peace and prosperity of the
United States, you will have hit the
nail on the head.
"And don't overlook the fact that
any Republican who seeks President
Wilson's place by pandering to the
hyphens will find that he is fighting
Roosevelt as well as Wilson.
Roosevelt dislikes Wilson and his
policies almost to the point of hate

The suggestion that the announce
ment of Colonel Houses plans will
weigh heavily with the Austrian gov.
eminent to prevent break is received
here with great interest.
A possible incentive 70 President
Wilson's action in sending Colonel
House abroad at this time is found in
the knowledge that Mr.. Bryan has beer
talking of a European peace trip and
may at any moment pack his grip. It IS
thought now that Mr.. Bryan, out Of
Difference to the President, will sbsn-
don this trip, particularly if the sd'
mission is made from the White House

cred that if Colonel Houses voyage &C.

CALLS ROOSEVELT
BIGGEST AMERICAN

Parties Seek His Defence
Plan as 1915 Issue.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 21.-"The
Kansas City Star" to-day, under the
caption "The Foremost American,
avs in part:
For fifteen years Theodore Roose-
welt has been the foremost figure in
American life For seven years of that
time he was President. Once he was a
candidate for President and was de-
fcated. But never has he ceased TO be
the central figure in American politics,
the most potent single factor in the
political affairs of the nation. within
that long period.
mo other man in the United States
has been able TO contest this place OF
leadership with Roosevelt since Mr.,
Roosevelt became President in 1901.
To-day America is witnessing the
spectacle Of Congress engaged in car
rying out. so far as fearful politicians
can grasp the meaning of II. the Roose-
welt preparedness programme. Both
parties are adjusting themselves TO the
situation of adopting the Roosevelt
programme, not only as the work for
Congress, but the campaign issue Of
1916.
"And all this has been brought about
by a man who is without a great po-
litical party, without a political Office
and without a political ambition TO be-
come d candidate.
at has been brought about because
the people have faith in Roosevelt as
the biggest American Of them all. And
never were the people more abundantly
justified in that faith. Never was this
private citizen of Oyster Bay the pre-
eminent American that he is to-day.
He is more essentially the towering
national figure than at any time in his
career"
