President Tells Callers Re ports Indicate Business
 Improving Generally.
INTERESTS ARE BUSY
Manufacturers Who Grew Rich TnGer Special EariH Protection Combine to Spread Pessimistic Reports
 for Selfish Reasons.

Washington, Jan. 1-President Will son asserted today that reports from the department of commerce indicate
 that business men in virtually all sec
 tions of the country have experienced a return of confidence, and are pre-
 pairing for greater expansion of
 trade next sprlng ,ilan |: the last few
 years. The president tcok occasion
 to tell callers that he does not agree
 with certain organizations which are circulating reports that business con- ditions are not improving. He said
 that official and personal reports in-
 dicate a general improvement. and
 present reasons for believing the inn provement will continue.
 It is believed in official circles that some of the interests whose business thrived under special tariff protection and who now find it impossible to collect as great profits as they did
 under the Payne law, are responsi- ble for the circulation of many re-
 ports calculated to show that busi-
 ness is falling off.
 Information has reached Washing
 ton that a combination of these man. ufacturers, most of whom operate in Pennsylvania, are determined to de- press public sentiment by pessimistic reports in the hope of keeping alive the tariff issue, and arousing enough sentiment to make it the Republican slogan in 1916.
 It is understood they expect to charge the Underwood tariff bill with responsibility for all the evils that have resulted from the European war
 and the Mexican situation.

NOT A CHANCE IF WAR WITH ENGLAND Former Secretary of State Knox Regards War Talk

During Century United States Has Had l'n Differences Far More SerjOuS Than Present, But Diplomacy
 Succeeded, He Says.

Washington, Jan. 1.-Ambassado, water II. Page, in a report from London, received today following his conferences with high officials there describes the general attitude Of tre British government and the 2eoplt towards the American note of protest concerning shipping as enti friendly He said a reply had beer promised within a few days. The am bassador detailed the British press criticisms, whose tone was regarded on the whole as reasonable and ami cable.
 Valley Forge, Pa., Jan. 1.-"There is not the remotest chance of war witt England; that the note of protest sem by President Wilson implies hostility towards that country is the sheeres1 nonsense" asserted Philander Chase Knox, former secretary of state anl senator, in an interview today.
 We have had one hundred differ ences with England in the last century that were far more serious than the present one," said the senator. "Al of them were adjusted by proper di plomacy. Yet I am in full sympa thy with President Wilson's determi nation to reduce to minimum the right of England to search our yes. sells. I don't understand that he chal lenges the right. He desires, I un derstand, that England shall exercise it in way that will least interfere with our commerce.
 "As to it's effect on American com merce, in all cases of war, neutra nations whose vessels carry contra band of war are subject to seizure and the right of search. That is something, however, that belligerents should exercise with due regard fol the rights of neutral nations
 "What do you think Of President Wilson's note of protest" ?"
 'T have not seen the text. I have only perused the general draft. think it is an extremely proper thing for him to do. I am not much of { believer in the fad of criticising gov ernment methods. I believe with the late John Hay in plain truth. Some times the truth is harsh, but it IS nev ertheless the truth.

A OWE" JOKE

A ponderous effort to crack few
jokes is the only answer of the Stanleys
Tribune to this papers hometruths of
two weeks ago. Here's sample of
the I'VE" Tribune's brand of joke:
1--WE rather enjoy reading the good
brothers TRADES. We are going to al
low you all the rope you want. We
consider you rather a poor joke and we
wouldn't do or say thing to hurt your
feelings for the world" And so on,
with 1--WE" or two in almost every
line thru six or eight inches, but with
absolutely no attempt to disprove the
statements of The Enterprise.
AS space in this paper is too valuable
to respond in kind to these ponderous
pleasantries 1--WE" will consider the
controversy closed, and I'VE" don't
care a hang whether the I'VE" Stan
