MOTION PICTURE FILMS
ADMITTED TO MAILS
Rural Districts. Without Express
Service. May Now Enjoy
Regular "Thrillers.'

Motion picture films are admitted to
the mails by an order issued by the sec
ond assistant postmaster general today.
This has long been sought by the moving
picture companies and means regular
movies for many communities of the
country that have been lacking in express
service Now, wherever the mails go.

The moving picture industry has de-
veloped large and fairly constant traf-
fic The change of postal regulations
offers the regular parcel post rates to the
films. 1t is probable that a large part of
this class of shipment will now enter the
mails.
Because of their infiammable character
stringent regulations governing the pack
ing of films for mailing have been adopt
ed They are to be shipped outside OF
mail bags and must be packed in tightly
closed metal cases. The cases must be
nclosed either in strong sparkproof
wooden box or in sparkproof cases made
of sheet iron. Boxes of the latter kind
must be at least 0.02 inch thick and lined
with fiber board, or some other insuiat-
ing material, at least on eighth of an inch

SUBMITS WATER POWER BILL.
Secretary Lane Believes He Has
I Remedy for Conflict in Interests.

In water power bill which he has
submitted to President Wilson Secre-
tary Lane believes that he has the So
lution to the many conflicting bills now
pending in Congress. He would have
a commission composed of the Secre-
tary Of War, the Secretary of the In
terror and the Secretary of Agricul-
ture constitute water power commits
sion with power to grant leases on all
public lands and navigable streams
under conditions to be prescribed by
the commission.
Secretary Lane said that the advan-
tages of such a measure are: The ad-
ministration would be held responsible
for whatever terms and conditions were
made as to such leases: these terms and
conditions would be known and fixed
before the lease was made. the terms
and conditions could be made so as to
draw a distinction between the use of
navigable waters and others; such a
measure would eliminate all contro-
versy in Congress over details; by regu
lation everything could be accom-
plished by the Ferris. Myers, Adamson
or Shields bill. and there would be no
danger of the caprice of any single
cabinet officer or his prejudice or IA
vor controlling the conditions of the
leasing.

Overlooks Moral Side.

Georges Clemenceau. former premier.
in his newspaper, L'Homme Enchaine
says:
The moral side of the war has es-
capped President Wilson. He puts on
the same footing all belligerents with
out asking for what reason each of
them is fighting. Failing to take into
consideration these imponderables. he
believes himself just when he speaks
to all in the same terms. He has not
felt that the ends of the war could not
be understood in the same way by both
sides, and consequently it would seem
almost blasphemous to hear il said
that the objects seem the same on both
sides
Lincoln's answer to the French and
British offers to mediate between north
and south in 1853 is freely quoted, and
analogies are drawn between the situa-
tions then and now.
What citizen of the United States
would blame US if we answered Wilson
as Lincoln answered the mediators
them" asked the Echo de Paris.
The Matin says: THE American note
is certainly inspired by high senti-
inents. 1t is doubtful whether 1t is OPP
FORTUNE II comes at a moment when IL
is to every interest of Germany to stop
or slacken hostilities. 1t comes after

THINKS HE HAS ATONED.
Attorney Begs Mercy, Gets It, Then
Names New Son After Judge Lands.

CHICAGO, December 23.-Abraha ham
Rubenstein. an attorney who recently
has been involved in difficulties with
Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands, in
the federal court, considers today that
he has atoned. AS a result of Ruben
STEMS acts Judge Lands suspended
him from federal practice and held him
to the grand jury on charges of per-
jury and conspiracy. Rubenstein erred
again. The Judge cited him for con-
tempt of court and ordered him to jail
The lawyer pleaded for mercy, urging
he wished to be home as he was ex-
pecting an heir.
"Rubenstein." said Judge Lands, I've
let people off on all kinds of excuses.
They have taken advantage of my
sympathies. Now you make good on
this excuse.
Yesterday a breathless Rubenstein
rushed into the courtroom and at
tempted to push by several bailiffs.
There's no reason for all this COM
notion" said a bailiff.
.'Yes, there is; yes. there is shouted
Rubenstein i've named him kene-
saw Mountain Rubenstein.'
Say that name again. ordered the
Judge.

Judge Lands called for his hat and
coat and adjourned court.

SHORT OF FOOD AND FUEL.
Serious Situation in Holland Report.
ed by American Consul,

Shortage of food. coal and other nee
essary supplies has produced a serious sit
uation in Holland, according to special
report from Frank W. Mahin, American
consul at Amsterdam, issued today by the
Department of Commerce. The cost of
living, it is declared. has scared to great
heights.
To economiZe on coal, four-fifths of
which normally is imported from Ger
many and England. street lighting and
train services have been reduced. The
government has urged early closing of
hotels, restaurants and stores to save gas
and electricity.
Holland is suffering also. it is said.
from scarcity of materials for building
machine work and shipyards Officials
fear all construction work will have to
be stopped and that many large factories
will close, throwing thousands out of
work. Lack of shipping facilities, it is
stated. prevents the United States from
relieving conditions in Holland.

Comment of French Press
Is Tempered by the Spirit
of Friendship for America

PARIS. December 23.-President Will
sons note and the statement of Sec
retary Lansing continue to be the SEN
sations of the day and take precedence
over everything else in the morning
papers. The Presidents action by no
means meets with favor among the
commentators, who only vary in the
manner of expressing their opinion.
The principal reproach is in the words
of Stephen Pichon, who, writing in the
Petit Journal. says:
The note makes no distinction be-
tween the states who provoked the war
and those upon whom it was forced
The belligerents, whoever they are, see
themselves treated in the same manner
by President Wilson. He does not re-
member either the violation of Belgian
neutrality, the crimes of the subma-
rine warfare or any of the monstrous
acts which revolted the conscience OF
his compatriots and that of the civil
lized world. Germany. her victims. Bel
gians, Serbians or French, il is all the
same.
America can appreciate this singular
conception as she pleases. We should
be lacking in the first of our duties In
not holding it UP as an outrage to our
honor and our dignity"

"1T'SA BIG CHRISTMAS"
FOR EXPRESS COMPANIES
Plenty of Business Reported This
Year, Much of It Being in
wet" Goods.

ITS big Christmas said an official
of the American Express Company to-
day when asked as to what amount of
express matter is being handled by the
various companies this year.
This official said that although the
shipments of express matter into and
out of Washington are exceedingly
large, it does not compare with some
of the northern cities. from which re-
ports have been received In several Of
the larger cities. he said, there is so
much business that the employees can
hardly get it out.
At the local express offices there are
forces working night and day in an ef-
fort to get the Christmas gifts to the
consignees in time for them to be en-
joyed Monday.
"Wet' Goods in Quantities.
wet" goods constitute a large part
of the shipments through the offices of
the Adams and Southern express COM
panies. The Christmas demand for
liquors from the dry states of Vir-
ginia. West Virginia and the Carolinas,
d
Washington dealers, has resulted in a
considerable amount of this increased
shipments. The shipments have been
so large, it was stated today, that in
some cases those who did not get their
shipments off earlier will be diSap-
pointed in that the wet cheer might
possibly not reach them by Monday.
The demand for wet" goods from
these dry" sections has been unusually
heavy for the past two weeks. Persons
in the south who have been accus-
toned to getting their holiday cheer
from some nearby dealer have no inten-
ton of doing without it entirely. There
fore, the orders to local firms which
meet this trade have been coming for
ward in such volume that it has almost
swamped many of them to meet all the
requirements.
These packages of "wet" shipments
vary in size from a quart to several
gallons Some of the shipments have
gone as far south as Georgia.

Feeling Strong and Deep.

Our regard for the American people
and for President Wilson'S high moral
character has imposed in this country
a large measure Of restraint uuou OK
preston of feelings which his i'll
Judged action undeniably caused These
feelings, however. are strong and deeo
ana may be aggravated by American
applause of the Presidents initiative.
The fact that this applause is :, tribute
TO his ideallst pursuit of pacificism and
humanitarianism hardly lessons the
danger Of MISUNDERSTANDING and es-
trauts etnent- The best safeguard against
such a danger might perhaps be found
Ia the views of eminent Americans
such as DIR. Eliot, Joseph ii. Choate and
Theodore Roosevelt
The Chronicle editorial finds unusual
unanmity in the opinion Of the British
papers II says that though the noisiest
papers have not always the weightiest
following foreigners will be wise to
assume in the face of such unanirnity
that the public is one behind the
neg Spapers and that all indications in
this case tend to prove that the press
has correctly interpreted the over
whelming sentiment of the nation.
while IL is advisable not to attach
undue importance to Secretary Lam
sings statement about the verge of
war, says the Chronicle, ''it is impos- J.
sible to overlook the paralIelism be-
tween this statement and the dark
hints of German propagandists con-
cerning new forms Of frightfulness un-
less peace comes.
Though the Presidents love of peace

believe that he could thus allow him

Would ".Desolate" France.

I'VE should certainly be desolated if
it's dignity and interests obliged the
Washington government to break with
perjurad and barbarous Germany.
More than any other country France,
which was attacked without the
shadow Of a pretext, knows what there
is of tragedy in such an hour. but we
cannot help it. Our American friends
must take into account the fac that
we are struggling for ends common to
them and to US. For civilization and
right we are making war on war, and
to prevent forever the return of hec-
atombs such as the universe now con-
templates with terror.
ITO President Wilson's suggestion we
Frenchmen can make no other reply
than that of Lloyd Georges. Let the
Germans restore territory, let them give
reparation. and let them offer guaran-
tees assuring a real. not precarious
peace, and we shall be happy to reply
to the prayer of President Wilson"

December IL (the date of the peace pro-
posais OF the central powers) President
Wilson could hardly have expected any
other reception from the English press
than that which he received. We hope.
however that he will be able to weather
this storm and put his wishes into exc

Injured by "Clumsiness."
The TELEGRAPH says:
One need not Immediately think the
worst of President Wilson'S intentions.
but the form is clumsy. If this note had
been drawn up by the German govern
ment itself it could hardly have shown
greater lack of the most elementary con-
ception of tact For President Wilson
there is not the slightest difference be
tween Germany. which destroyed Bel
gium. and England. which drew the
sword to redeem Belgium.
TT looks as If Mr.. Wilson by his in
comprehensive clumsiness had spoiled
the cause of peace for good"

Rumor of German Threat,

In this connection an Amsterdam dis
patch to the Post mentions a rumor there
that Germany sent note to the neutral
powers announcing that a ruthless sub
marine war would be inaugurated unless
peace was concluded. and another rumor
that Germany planned TO close the Medi-
terranean by means Of submarines The
correspondent was unable TO obtain any
confirmation of the rlInlors. but speculates
as to whether Secretary Lansing's state
ment was due TO such suggestions.
The Telegraph sees indications that the
allies reply TO the German note will be
a very full document setting forth why
the allies are bound not TO halt in their
work until Gernany's military collapse
is complete. II expects this reply to pre-
cede the answer TO President Wilson, and
passing through his hands. TO leave him
little room to doubt the fate of his own
suggestions The Telegraph. Daily Mail
and other papers follow the Post edi-

Under treaties with the United States

The newspaper thinks the difficulty
OF accounting satisfactorily for the
issue of the note compels a respectful
view. Specializing on whether the
President has a deeper cause for anxi-
ETY. regarding American relations with
Germany than have yet appeared. the
newspaper mentions Germany's sub
marine activity and the Belgian depor-
tations as possible causes for that
anxiety. In short, the Daily News re-
CARDS this as the most explicable rea-
son for the Presidents desire to bring
the war TO a speedy end.
