"War Message Says
the London Times"

London. Dec S.-President Wilson's
message proved Of unusual interest to
the British press, as shown by the edi-
torials in the morning papers.
1.-The Times" regards the message as
"by force of events, war message
from beginning to end" and says:
"Tne President has striyen, and is
still striving hard, with the full APP
probation Of the masses of the people,
to cling fast TO the notion that the
United States can continue 20 live It's
own life, uphold exalted ideals through
out the New World. and promote their
realization IN the Old World, without
abandoning the splendid isolation she
has so long enjoyed. The hard real
tiles of the situation created by the
war are beginning to show that the
notion is no longer tenable, with the
firm assurance OF even last year.
"The sudden development OF the Boy
Ed-von Papen controversy gives inc
message a dramatic fitness it would
not have possessed without this serious
complication, and affords a striking In
stance OF the growing compleXlty ana
interdependence of the relations be-
tween the Old World and the New.
Even more striking than the Presi-
uent utHuuCldNlON VI tHN
campaign is the new attitude ne as
sumes on the subject Of national de-
fence. IL is q sudden break with the
past of his own party, and the fact
that the President cannot expect his
PROPOSALS 70 be carried without hard
lighting makes them still more sign
of the times.
"'The Times believes that although
the Germans have so often and so
grossly misunderstood the American
attitude. they will appreciate the sig-
nifcance Of the Presidents message,
ana. with however bad grace, draw back
while there is still time"
"The Standard" thinks the President
shows "a determination which pro-Ger-
man conspirators will be wise not to
ignore" and that ait is very doubtful
whether the mass Of Americans until

Washington, Dec. President Will
sons message 70 Congress was re-
ceived with joy by Republicans and
with mixed sentiments by Democrats
The principal criticism made Of 1t IN
private was that il was so general IN
its terms, except on defence and taxa
ton, that 10 was difficult for any per
son 20 determine whether he agreed
with IL or not. On one point there
was no discussion. All admitted that
10 was an excellent piece Of rhetoric.
The unanimous sentiment among Re
publicans was that il was fine cam
paign document for them. In its adj
missions on the tariff, its plea for ad-
ditional revenue and its comments on
Mexico, il was regarded as Offering an
excellent target for Republican fire.
It's most popular feature in both
parties was the denunciation Of the
actions of certain hyphenated Amer
leans.
Senator Warren G.. Harding, of Ohio,
said: THE message IS a fine Repubh-
can campaign document. It's admission
Of the necessity OF continuing the pres
ent duty on sugar is a remarkable con-
cession that mistake was made by
the Democrats in framing the present
tariff bill | heartily approve Of his
idea desiring a large merchant marine.
The Republican party has for years
been advocating laws which would
bring this about"
Senator John w. Weeks, Of Massa-
chusetts, said: "If any information on
the subject Of railroads is required,
what is the matter with the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which is proha-
bly, the best organized and equipped
institution of that kind connected with
the general government? Why shouldn't
10 tell Congress and the country what
should be done without the expense Of
another commission with resulting de-
lay? ?"
Senator William Alden Smith. Of
Michigan. said: There can be no mis-
taking the fact that, so far as the Presi-
dent is concerned, he is setting his
house in order to appeal 20 the cleo
torate next year on questions far re-
moved from their domestic concern and
dealing with a situation arising out Of
his unwillingness 20 admit that the
fiscal policies of his administration
have been a complete failure"
Senator Gilbert VI. Hitchcock. Demo-
crat. of Nebraska, said: 81 was par

bonds. ] believe in preparedness and
agree with his policies, but | couple a

Senator John w. Kern, Of Indiana,
majority leader, said: "His preparedness
programme involves very large appro-
priations and will be carefully consid-
cred. As in other matters, this will be

We knew long ago that this tratiiG

neutrality, as persisted in by WASH
ington, would make This country hot
bed of European war passion. The at
tack against the German-Americans
made in the Presidential message is
the most poisonous blossom from this
hotbed of passion.
Why these eternal accusations OF
plots against American industries
Where Is the proof for such accusa-
tions? Why does not the admlnistra-
tion bring those proofs into the courts
There is nothing behind that talk OF
plots. otherwise the mill of the courts
would have made little more noise.
The mountains have labored and have
brought forth few little mice in the
shape of only a few indictments.

President had put the same fire all
through IL that he did in those portions
relating to the acts Of citizens OF for
eign birth. So far as the preparedness
programme is concerned, the President
has outlined it well, and brought the
necessity for prompt action home to
the American people. The naval pro
gramme will find the committee stand
ing solidly behind him"
Senator James r. MARITIME, Democrat.
Of New Jersey, said: "The message was
written in a stirring strain that Will
appeal 10 every American citizen. His
preparedness programme will be IN
dorsed by every red-blooded citizen OF
the country, and ] am confident that
Congress will adopt it without any Sc
rious opposition"
President Wilson's message called
out little comment from House mem
bcrs There was a reluctance 10 talk
about national defence and other legis-
linton suggested.
Representative Kitchin. the majority
leader. although remaining steadfast in
his opposition 70 the defence pro-
gramme, had no comment TO make on
the message.
Representative Mann, the minority
leader, said: "To me, being of prac-
teal turn of mind, the feature of the
Presidents message that was of the
most interest was the admission that
without additional burdens of taxa
ton the United States Treasury faces
a deficit Of S297 100000. II shows the
utter incapabil.ty Of the Democratic
party 10 administer the government"
Representative Saunders, of Vir-
ginia, chief aid of Mr.. Kitchin in oppo-
sition to the defence programme. said:
"The President gave no reasons for
the increases. II is admitted we are
in no peril now, and ! do not see why
we should not wait until the end of the
European war to determine policy"
Representative Gardner. of Massa-
chusetts, strong advocate of prepar-
edness, declared the recommendations
for tho navy were inadequate because
the administration had not taken into
account many vessels OF the second
class which would be obsolete before
the building programme could be car
ried out.

Washington, Dec. THE opening
gums of the coming battle In Congress
over defence were fred promptly AFTER
the President had finished reading MS
message to-day snd proved that ms
failure to win applause on the SUBJECT
was not for lack Of interest in 1t. Inc
vast grist Of bills turned in has not
vet been cleared up by the House ana
Sonata clerks. but measures for almost
every conceivable scheme connected
with the subject have already come to
the surface.
The President will take hand IN
the matter tomorrow, when he VIII

craftsmanship out Of the question: ~

Of the revenue.
The desire for pie appeared IN the
frat three bills on defence subjects
presented in the House. Representa-
tive Holland, of Virginia, introduced a
measure for charging the NortolK
navy yard so that 1t can build patte-
ships. and Representatives Costello and
Edmonds both want 81 100000 spent on
the Frankfort Arsenal. This is under
stood TO be only the first wash OF the
wave OF pie bills, and there is every
indication that the Presidents an
nounced intention to refuse to pay the
way for the defence plans by this
means will be put TO a hard test.

Why Glass Cracks.

You have learned by experience
that cold water will crack a hot glass,
or hot water a cold glass. But did
you know that thick glass will
crack much more readily under such
treatment than ii thin glass? When
hot water strikes cold glass, for in
stance, the heat Of the water is
quickly communicated to the glass
next 1t, causing the glass to expand.
Ii the glass Is thin the heat is quickly
communicated to both sides Of the
glass so that they expand together
without damage. But If the glass is
thick the heat Is slow in getting
through and the side next the hot
water expands so much more rapidly
than the other side that the glass is
cracked. 1.-The American Boy.

Leather Medals.

Leather medals were originally
conferred as genuine mark of honor.
When King John of France, captured
at Agincourt, was forced to pay to
Edward III OF England a ransom of
three million gold crowns to effect
his release, he was left without
precious metal for coins or decora-
tions. So he found it necessary to
pay the palace expenses with leather
money. He also used leather medals
when he wished to confer honor on
some nobleman. The custom quickly
arose of presenting Leather medals"
as burlesque distinction. The
