LUXEMBOURG TRIES PEACE MOVE
Asks Swiss Council To Sound France
and Germany.

and Germany.
Paris.-M. Eyschen, Minister of
State Of Luxembourg, according to the
Berne correspondent of the Petit
Parisien, recently invited the Swiss
Federal Council to offer to mediate pc
tween France and Germany with the
view Of opening peace negotiations.
M. Eyschen previously made a similar
proposal to The Hague, but his over
lures met no encouragement from the
Dutch Government.
The principal argument advanced by
the Luxembourg Minister of State was
that neither side actually having any
advantage, it was a good time to talk
of peace. Later on, he declared, when
the scale of the war turned to one
side or the other, it would be too late
to suggest negotiations to the nation
intoxicated by what might be consider
ed certainty Of early triumph.

Party lines were wiped out in the

the 1877 standing for the resolution, ia

pendent Republicans.
Vote In Senate Unlikely.
Immediately after announcement of
the vote, the House adjourned, the
crowds which had packed the gal
leries throughout the prolonged debate
dispensing with mingled expressions Of
regret and jubilation.
Prohibition leaders declared that
the majority for the resolution had full
filled their expectations, as they had
not hoped for two-thirds vote at this
time. Whether a similar resolution
pending in the Senate, submitted by
Senator Sheppard, of Texas, would
reach a vote in the Senate at this SEES
sion was not certain. Administration
leaders were inclined to believe, how
ever, that 1t would not, in view of the
action Of the House.
Notwithstanding repeated public as
sertions that many members of the
House would try to dodge record
vote on the Issue, the roll call dis
closed heavy attendance, larger than
the average throughout the session
On the Anal vote, 1856 votes were
recorded. To have carried the resolu-
ton would have required 25S aHirma-
tive votes. II thus failed by 81 votes.
Contest a Stirring One.
1t was at the conclusion OF one OF
the most stirring contests of recent
days in Congress and following votes
on several amendments that the final
vote was reached. Representative
Hobson had closed the general debate,
which lasted 10 hours and was parti-
cipated in by all the House leaders,
many of whom were repeatedly
cheered by men and women in the
crowded galleries. Speaker Clark
repeatedly admonished the spectators
to maintain order.
Although advocates OF the Hobson
resolution freely predicted that 1t
would receive majority vote, many
OF them, including Mr.. Hobson, had
conceded at the start that the resolu-
ton would not receive the two-thirds
vote necessary for its adoption.
Before the final roll-call Represen-
tative Hobson presented an amend
ment, which was adopted, giving to
the Congress and the States concur
rently" the power to enforce the prohi-
bition provision by "needful legisia-
ton"

the Americans has indeed become one of the dominant traits of the people and it's workings are painfully visible under the present stringency, due to the European war, which has found the people totally unprepared to meet the necessity of personal economy. The truth of the matter is that few Ameri- cans know how to economize on every hand is to be seen an apparently needless extravaganza. both in per sonal matters and in the home, and il has been repeatedly pointed out by economists that few of the mothers and fathers of the land have even the most meagre knowledge of the principles of true economy. Among the general run of people in matters relating to the common affairs of life, value is on tirelv secondary The desire of the individual will in many cases lead him or her to expenditures and ex- travasances out of all proportion to the values received and this needless waste goes on year after year. eating up the earnings of the people and leaving no surplus to form the founda ton of a savings account It is pro bable, however. that the present stringeney is likely to do much to remedy this laNity, for if would seem that one of the main results of a con dition such as is now prevalent would be an increasing economy on the part of all classes AS stated. it is seldom
 in past years that Americans have really felt the pinch of adverse con ditions and now that the necessity of economy is forced upon them il isl likely that at least the thinking portion of the people will derive many valuable lessons therefrom.

HE BOUGHT THE VALVE.

 Good gracious said the man. "I can get the same thing from the mail order house for s1.35"
 That's less than it cost me" said the dealer. but I'll sell it on the same terms as the mail-order house. just the same"
 All right" said the customer, you can send il along and charge it to my lccount"

City Official Paper NOME, ALASKA, MARCH 30. 1915,
AMERICAN PRODlGAllTY.

Recently published figures concern ing the saving tendencies of the lead
 ing nations of the earth disclose a startling confirmation of the statement so frequently made that the Americans are the spendthrift nation of the earth. According 10 the table the American people in general are far behind those of other countries in the matter of savings, so far behind that the figures are amazing when the industrial and economic conditions of the several countries are included in the compari- son. The statement, which was made just prior to the outbreak of the pre- sent European war, shows that out of twelve of the leading nations of the world America ranks last in the amount of saving per capita. Ten of the Epopean nations have an average total of 373 savings banks depositors per one thousand of population while in the United States the proportion is only ninety-nine to each one thousand.
 When it is considered that the aver age income of the people of the United States, not including those who are counted among the excessively rich is far greater than is that of the people of even the wealthiest and most pros porous of the nations of Europe this discrepancy in the matter of savings accounts assumes significance rather difficult to account for save on the theory that the oft t-repeated allegation of prodigality is to great extent based on fact. It is probable that this lack of saving instinct displayed by the American people is not inherent but is rather 6 normal result of the prosper ous conditions prevailing in the United States during the past twenty-five or thirty years. 1t Is generally conceded that conditions of great prosperity are not conducive to saving. When the living is easily won 1t is logical to as- sume that a tendency to prodigality will naturally develop because of the lack of necessity of cultiyating personal economy. Thus it would appear that the long continued prosperous condl- tions have been the primary cause of this failure of the American people to provide against the future and has led to gradual reduction in the individual savings until the present low average has been reached
 It has required no searching observa- ton to perceive q constant display of the spendthrift tendency in the rank and file of the peoples of this country. The national carelessness in regard to money has become so apparent as to have become proverbial. The useless and extravagant waste attributed to
