Pastor To
Go Today

To friends who have stood
by him in the recent charges
brought by t5-year-old
girl, the Rev. J. II. Sutton
today announced that he
planned to leave the city this
evening.
This decision followed a state
ment by DR.. Sutton In which he
asserted his complete innocence.
AS evidence Of this, he made pub
lie a hitherto unpublished letter
by the girl In which she said he
had always been kind and true TO
her and that nothing was done
to me except what l did to my
SELF
Prosecutor Satisfied.
In addition to these evidences
of his innocence which the Rev.
Sutton himself furnished, Deputy
Prosecutor Cramer made state
ment that his office had investi-
gated the case, and had been un-
able to find sufficient evidence
on which to bring action on the
charge which the girl had made.
She had charged an absolute
criminal assault. On the basis
of this charge. Cramer had her
examined by two Tacoma physi-
clans who informed him that she
was normal. and that the wrong
which she alleged could not have
been done her. At this Cramer
became convinced that her story
certainly would not be sufficient
to convict Sutton on In court.
May Cause Rupture.
The decision OF the Rev. Mr..
Sutton means that he will not
undergo a church trial, as had
been suggested. II may be. how
ever, that friends of his will take
up, entirely within the church,
the action of the deacons In fore.

Austria-Hungary.
Italy and Greece will throw
their armies into the field against
both Turkey and the Germanic al
lies, and millions more of men
will undertake the overrunning
of Austria-Hungary, and come
laundering at the southern gates
of Germany at Augsburg, Munich
and Salisbury; at Dresden, Lieg-
nitz and Breslau-with the Grand
Duke Nicholas driving in toward
the Oder, and Joffre and French
pressing west toward the Rhine.
No peace will be talked then,
until the kaiser is pushed with
his back to the wall on the hollow
square 100 miles or 200 miles
across, with Berlin in its center
hollow square the size of which
will be determined by the neces-
sity of not making his line too
thin.
Then another deadlock-and
the terms will be dragged out this
time for certain.
Bonds Tell Story.
II the entente powers are beat
en- before Constantinople, the
deadlock will be unbroken, and
apparently unbreakable. One
would think, then, that peace will
be discussed as soon as the first
fierce battles of the spring cam
paign had come to nothing but
wholesale murder--as they will.
The fire is too fierce to burn
much longer without more fuel
which the fall of Constantine
pie would furnish.
We can already see signs of
desperation on both sides even be-
fore the fearful shock of war
that is coming with the good
spring weather.
Germany's submarine CAM
paign is sign of despera-
ton.
England's strange stop
page of commerce to Ger
many without saying either
BLOCKADE" or universal
contraband" is sign of
stress.
Germany's talk of starva-
ton is Ominous.
Hungary's high-lianded
politics with Austria is omi-
nous.
The seizures of food, even
the weird stories of new
methods of producing food,
show the fever of despera-
ton.
But the worst sign is the loss
OF credit of the warning nations.
The bonds of poor, depressed,
misgoverned Mexico are selling in
London, higher than the bonds Of
either England or Japan, and very
nearly as high as those Of Rus
STA or France. japan four-and-a-
halfs have recently sold at 88,
Russian fives sell at "a.
French bonds sell on four per
cent basis, while United States
threes sell at par. And French
credit was the best on earth a
year ago! The bonds of Uruguay,
soon to be sold, will probably
yield higher than British Consols.

Come Into
the Open!

Gentlemen of the city council what are you
trying to pull off now?
Yesterday you held a secret session--four of
you-to arrange secret sleker withthe Tacoma
Water Supply Co. for extending The company's
franchise
Who do you suppose is granting franchises in
Tacoma, you four gentlemen, or the city?
Why do you retire to private office, leaving
Mayor Fawcett ignorant Of the meeting, and at
tempt to frame up deal OF which you apparent
ly do not want the public to know the details?
Be careful, Messrs. Commissioners!
The people are watching you. They won't per-
init such secret conclaves to go unnoticed. Be-
sides showing petty, vindictive spirit in trying
to shut the mayor out from your deliberations
you are violating your trust with the people by
juggling with their money behind closed doors.
The citizens have their eyes on you gentle
men, even though you do attempt to handle their
affairs in a tight shut room, secretly.
Be careful!

Germany cannot conquer aud
overrun France. She knows this
as we'll as the world knows 1t.
Russia cannot invade Germany
the strategic railways give Won
Hindenberg too great an advan-
tage.
When Won Hindenberg fights
his way to the east of his strateg-
ic railways Won Hindenberg can
not farther invade Russia--the
Slav hosts are too strong for him.
The greatest armies ever
seen will be deadloclSed, both
east and west. Not even the
new British army will be
able, In all probability, to
drive back the Germans to
the Rhine. Paris, London,
Berlin and Warsaw are all
safe.
Then the terms Of peace will
be brought out of pigeonholes,
unless
Hinges ON Constantinople.
Unless the allies capture Con-
stantinople. If the entente pow
ers can take Constantinople, the
military deadlock will be broken,
and the battling will have to go
on to the crushing of one side or
the other-or another deadlock.
Because the taking of CONSTANT
nople means the end of Turkey,
and the end of Turkey means
that the entente powers will have
territory to trade off to the neu-
trail nations for their aid against
Germany and Austria-Hungary.
Bulgaria sympathizes with the
Germanic powers; but II Turkey
is partitioned she wants Adrian
ople, which she once won in the
Balkan war. and lot of terri
tory adjacent.
She cannot get this by any
other means than an alliance with
the powers that take Constants
nop1e. Greece must join In the
cutting-up of Turkey; so must
Roumania; SO must Italy. Ger
many is trying to make Austria
pay for Italian neutrality with
territory along the Adriatic; but
she cannot well ask Austria to
give as much as the entente pow
ers can bestow II they take Con-
etantinople.

against Germanic powers, the

PAUL FULLER Of
NEW YORK DIES
PreS't Wilson's Advisor in
Mexican Affairs Victim of
Heart Failure.

NEW YORK. Nov. 30.-Paul
Fuller, international lawyer and
Pres't Wilson's adviser in Mexican
affairs. died suddenly early today in
his apartment in the hotel Van
Rensselaer, Heart failure was given
as the cause.
After dining with Frederick r.
Coudert and party OF friends, Mr..
Fuller returned to his home. he
was talking with his wife when he
was stricken and died instantly
Paul Fuller had a dread of pub
licity. No book of biographical
reference contains a line about him.
His work was done mainly in his Ii
brary. He was born of New England
parents on a Cape Horn clipper as
she sailed into San Francisco bay
with a party seeking gold. This was
67 years ago. He was hardly more
than a baby when his parents died.
His earlier years were spent among
the Mexicans in California.
He landed in New York. it is said.
when about 10 years old, with little
to aid him except a knowledge of
Spanish and perseverance. Charles
Coujert, a French school teacher,
took the lad in tow, tutored him,
and without going to college or law
school Fuller passed the bar exam
inations. He became a member of
Coudert Bros, and then married
Leanie Coudert and became broth
er-inlaw of his partners.
Mr.. Fuller was never a robust
man and when he went to Mexico
for Pres't Wilson he was accom-
panied by a physician. He took
only a grip and travelled through
the heart of the warning country,
comforting with the hostile leaders.
The Mexicans were surprised to find
a representative of the administra-
ton would speak TO them in their
own language, and Mr.. Fuller made
a favorable impression.
