ADVOCATES OF PEACE
AGAINST DISARMAMENT
Strong Army and Navy Needed to Sc
cure Paci6cation of European War,
Says Representative Fess.

Very few who have given the European
war and its effects serious thought are
now advocating disarmament by the
United States without an international
agreement participated In by all the
great powers of the world. Among the
prominent participants in the movement
toward universal peace who is opposed
to disarmament on the part Of the United
States without the cooperation OF the
other great powers Is Representative S.
D. Fess, OF Ohio.
DIR. Eess Is president of the Antioch
College, which has always taken a prom
lnent part in the peace movement.
Horace Mann. the great educator and
one Of the early presidents OF Antioch,
was an advocate of universal peace when
Andrew Carnegie was too busy manu-
featuring war material to think of a
peace propaganda.
DR.. Fess says: Many students of world
politics predict disarmament as the most
likely and vital result of the European
war. I sincerely hope that this will prove
true. and I would be the last to favor
snything that would retard the movement
toward universal peace. But in taking
up the question of national defense and
the part that this nation is to take in
world politics we should take into con-
sideration things as they are and not as
they should be.
mo one would seriously argue that the
European conditions would justify our ma
ton to refuse national defense while Eu-
rope remained an armed camp. The dis
armament must come as a world move
ment, in which our nation will gladly
ioin. As We now find ourselves. we must
hold aloof from entangling alliances,
ready to bring the warning nations to-
Gether for settlement In the meantime
We cannot gain any prestige for this
great work by allowing great nations to
override treaties and violate neutral
rights on the sea without protest.
while the hearts of all Americans go
out to the suffering of other lands, we
pledge ourselves to our own national
ideals and beg the near opportunity to
bid the warning countries seek better
methods OF adjustment than the test of
battle. Herein lies this nations greatest
opportunity. To this end We must stand
for law and order, for respect for treaties
and for the rights of all nations, great
and small. We must be ready to inter
pret each warning nation to the other.
and. IL necessary. be the just man armed
that we may fulfill our mission as the
peacemaker when half the world Is in
arms. The time has not yet arrived
when the demand for respect of our ma
tional rights will receive serious consid-
Grafton from any nation when 1t is not
backed up by a strong army and navy"

GERMANS PUZZLED BY
CARS NEW CAMPAIGN
Expect Violent Offensive. but Are
Ignorant of Extent of Rus
sian Re-enforcements.

London. Jan. 31.-A Central News dis
patch from Copenhagen says:
THE Berlin correspondent of the Ma
tional Tidende says it Is believed prob
able that the Russian general stan is
about to abandon its almost stationary
trench campaign in favor of a great new
scheme which has been worked out by
Grand Duke Nicholas, the Russian COM
mander-in-chief
The scheme Is said to be based upon
the cooperation of enormous far-fiung
masses OF troops
1T is evident that the Germans expect
some new and violent Russian offensive,
but they are uncertain as to the extent
to which the Russians recently have been
REINFORCED, and also concerning the
movements of the Russian second-line
troops

THE GREAT WHITE WAY.
By O. o. M'INTYRE.

ESPECIAL Correspondent Of The Washington He1ald.l
New York, Jan. 3O.-There are two high
spots in New York where there is no
sign of depression from war-the Globe
Theater and the New Amsterdam. In
this season, notoriously the worst in the
memory of theatrical men, Mr.. Dilling-
ham, in ''Chin-Chin" and Watch Your
Step" has produced the two greatest
musical comedy successes in the same
memory.

few Of my fellow managers heard that 1

tions, and they tried to restrain me with
argument. Now that you are mt after

Mr.. Dillingham;, however. has told his
intimates that in tackling the big produc-
tions, which cost him a fortune each
night, he was banking on business done
in theatricals during times Of disaster in
the past. The box Office receipts at
wallack's after the civil war show the
biggest receipts in history, also the the
atrical business was good after the quake
in San Francisco-people were seeking
diversion. 1t was a risky undertaking
on the part of Mr.. Dillingham;, but he
can smile now.

it's steps as that of child until now the
world has recognized its strength we
all feel justly proud of her success in
temperance work. She also brought

state. Her music on the auto harp
with singing was beautiful. The coun-
ty convention will be held in Baraboo
