GEN.. FRENCH is OUSTED
SIR DOUGLAS HAIG CHIEF OF
BRITISH IN FRANCE.
Change in Commanders May Mean
That Allies Contemplate New
Drive Against Germans.

London, Dec. 17.-Lieut. Gen. Sir
Douglas Haig has been appointed to
succeed Field Marshal Sir John French
in command of the British armies in
France and Flanders.
The new commander of the British
in the western field is considerably
younger than the veteran he succeeds,
but he has had vast experience in ac-
tual war General Haig is f1fty-four
years old whereas Field Marshal
French is sixty-three.
General Haig was educated at OK.
ford and joined the Seventh Hussars
in 1885. He served in the Soudan in
1898 and won medals for valor at At
bara and Khartum. With General
French he participated in the South
African war, where he again won pro-
motions and medals for distinguished
service, In 1912 he was made gen
eral officer commanding at Alder
shot. When the present war began he
was given command of the First Army
corps.
The belief is general that the choice
Of General Haig for commander in
chief in France means preparations for
the initiation of a more vigorous cam
paign in the West, presumably in con-
junction with offensive movements in
the Russian, Balkan and Italian zones
of operations.

WAR TAX BILL WINS
MEASURE is PASSED BY THE v.
S. SENATE BY VOTE OF
as TO 20.
SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT
Tax ls Extended for One Year-FIght
Made on Measure by Senator smoot
and Other Republican Leaders
Underwood Makes Maiden Speech.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-The admins
tration's first revenue bill, extending
the emergency war tax for one year,
was passed by the senate on Friday
by vote of As to 29. The measure
was signed by the president.
Mr.. Smoot of Utah, a Republican
member of the senate finance commit
tee, moved to limit the time extension
Of the war taxes to June 80, 1916.
This amendment was rejected 25 to So,
by party vote, except that five Re-
publicans-Mr. Clapp of Minnesota,
Mr.. Curtis of Kansas, Mr.. Harding Of
Ohio, Mr.. Jones of Washington and
Mr.. Kenyon of Iowa, refused to seem
to support even that extension and
voted against it.
Mr.. Underwood's maiden speech
was a great personal triumph. He
has not been assigned to the finance
committee, which has particular 1ur.
isdiction over all fiscal matters, but
his experience in the house has made
him the recognized Democratic au-
thority on finance.
Mr.. Underwood by three quiet ques-
tions induced Senator Penrose to ad.
NIT that the Republicans did not
want protection to exclude foreign
competition; that foreign imports un-
der the Democratic tariff had not
therefore injured the industries Of
the country and that the country with
the Underwood act still in force was
now highly prosperous.

GRANGE ATTACKS
MILITARISM PLAN
RESOLUTIONS ADoPTED DE-
CLARE FOR PEACE PREPARED
NESS INSTEAD OF WAR
PREPAREDNESS.

Elyria.EThe Ohio state grange has
adopted resolutions in which II
pledges itself to oppose any tendency
to commit this country to the old
world policy of militarism. The reso-
lutions adopted declare for prepared
ness for peace instead of prepared
ness for war and advocate maintaining
the army and navy at the highest pos
sible point of efficiency, but denounce
any attempt to increase either beyond
what is necessary for police protec-
tion and control. The grange also de-
cided to ask the legislature to enact
legislation giving farmers police pow
er to permit thm to arrst violators OF
tn game laws upon their own FARMS
to demand Jail sentence and forfeit
ure of license for any one driving an
automobile on the public highways IN
an intoxicated condition, and that
quail be put on the song bird list ad
protected from hunters. Womans sur
frage and state and national prohlbl-
tiOn we're indorsed. Resolutions were
also adopted favoring uniform text
books for the rural schools and ap-
proving the present system of central
lied control of rural schools by coun-
ty boards of education. The next con-
vention will be held at Newark the
second week in December, 1916. Co.
shocton, Dayton and Bryan sought this
honor, but lost out after the most splr'
tied fight of the convention, feature
of which was a speech by ex-senator
walking Joe" Myers of Coshocton.
Myers championed 2-cent fares While
he was in the senate some years ago.

PERSISTENT
CAMERA MEN
MADE THINGS UNPLEASANT FOR
PRESIDENT WILSON AND
HIS BRIDE.
Plans Of Photographers FoiIed BY
SIeuths, Who Threaten to Wreck
All Their Cameras.

western Newspaper Union News Service.
Hot Springs, Va.-Accompanied by
"a persons, including Secret Service
men, newspaper correspondents and
movie" photographers, President VIII
son and his bride reached here for
honeymoon among the mountains OF
their native state. Practically every
body in town met them at the station.
When the train pulled into the little
Hot Springs station the Presidential
car, being the last, did not come up
to the platform. 1t stood about three
car lengths down the track beside
locomotive which was emitting great
volumes of smoke and steam. Off the
car jumped several Secret Service
men, the reporters and the photo
graphers, who were equipped with
both still" and movie" cameras.
Aboard the train the photographers
had been asked not to attempt to take
any pictures of the President and
Mrs. Wilson. Most of them refused
to promise, however, and the Secret
Service men announced that they
would smash all cameras in sight it
an effort were made to get photo
graphs. The camera operators ran for
a gravel bank to make snapshots Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson when they got
off the train. The Secret Service men
were looking for just such move and
went after them, grabbing the cam
eras and putting the operators doWA.

MUST FREE GERMANS
WASHINGTON SENDS NOTE TO
FRENCH GOVERNMENT.
kaiser's Subjects Were Taken From
American Steamers by French
Warships-Act illegal.

Washington, Dec. 16.-The United
States government cabled Ambassa-
dor Sharp at Paris, for presentation
to the French foreign Office, a note
vigorously protesting against the re-
moval by the French cruiser Des-
cartes of six Germans and Austrians
from the American steamships Caro-.
lima, Coamo and San Juan.
Immediate release of the men was
asked on the ground that the seizure
of citizens of any nation from an
American vessel on the high seas is
without legal justification and consti-
tutes a fragrant violation of American
rights.
Couched in friendly terms, the COM
munication gives the American point
of view employed in the case of Au-
gust Piepenbrink, a German, who
was removed from the American ship
Windber by the French cruiser Conde
in November of last year and re-
leased after representations by the
United States.
Attention is directed to the fact
that the men removed from the ships
were not embodied In "the armed
forces of the enemy" as that term is
used in the declaration Of London.
1t is asserted, however, that there is
no justification for the removal of
subjects of a nation which is an
enemy of France from an American
vessel on the high seas bound to
neutral port, even if they could prop
erly be regarded as military persons.
To support this position, it is un-
derstood, the note points to the rules
set down by the French minister of
foreign affairs in a note sent during
the Civil war to the French minister
to the United States in regard to the
removal of the Confederate commits
sioners, Mason and S1idell, from the
steamship Trent.

women and children who pressed
eagerly in the streets near the Gait
home.
AS soon as the ceremony was over
and the bride had been saluted by
those present in the accustomed fash
ion, while the smiling groom received
congratulations, the newly-weds sped
away in big White House automobile
to the Union station and took train
to the South for their honeymoon. If
they told anybody their destination
that person kept his secret well. 1t
is reported from family circles, how
ever, that the couple will be away un-
till the first week in January.
They must be back in Washington
by January 7, though, because on that
date the president and Mrs. Wilson
will act as host and hostess at a great
reception to be given in the White
House for the Pan-American repre-.
6entatives at the national capital.
Moreover, congress will have recon-
vened, after the holiday season, and

TRUCE IN BASEBALL WAR
Peace Declared Between Three Big
Leagues-Weeghman to
Get Cubs.

Chicago, Dec. 17.-Through the ac-
ton of the American league in accept
ing the proposals from the National
and Federal leagues a truce was de-
clared here on Wednesday. A peace
agreement will be drawn up in the
next two or three days and the
chances are will be signed soon.

vealed, but the main points are
known to call for the dissolution Of
the Gilmore circuit through mergers
with several National league teams
and perhaps the Cleveland club.
The Cubs will be transferred to
President Weeghman and his partners
on the North side, while Phil Ball will
in all probability get control of the
St. Louis Cardinals.
