CLUB WOMEN PLAN
TO KEEP UP FIGHT
FOR BIRTH CONTROL

Chicago. Dec. DIFFERENTIATION of
Chicago club women to proceed with
their plans for birth control agitation
will precipitate active strife between
them and the city authorities it seemed
certain tonight.
Reports that the Chicago women's 8
club was preparing to abandon it's
plans to give all possible publicity to
birth control instruction were denied
Indignantly tonight by Mrs. Herman
Landaaur, chairman of the reform COM
mittee of the club. Other club women
echoed her denial.
The city prosecutors office is stand
ing firm on its declaration that it will
prosecute persons who distribute birth
control literature. 1t is possible that
the state authorities may be asked to
join them.
The club women are selecting COM
mittee to have charge of the distribu-
tien of the literature.

The pawnbroker with his skull frac-
tured. one arm BROKEN and his face
beaten terribly, is near death. The
robbers used an iron bar and brass
knuckles to beat him and he had not
recovered consciousness tonight. The

morning and attacked him as he oHened
the safe. Everything OF value was re-
moved from the safe.
A cheap revolver and number of
finger prints are the clews the police
are using TO trace the assailants.

another carload of coal and the mu-
nicipal council officials Immediately
distributed it at cost among families
badly needing fuel who could not OBJ
tain a supply from dealers. This
makes the third carload confiscated.
In each case the owner was paid the
market price.
Reduced production for which the
mayor blames the operators has caused

SEES
HOPEFUL SIGN
IN REPLY MADE
BY THE ALLIES
Plain Invitation for Terms,
in the Opinion of Member
of German Embassy at
Washington, Who De-
clares Loophole Was Left
Open.

Washington, Dec. 30.-The German
embassy tonight expressed the unoffi-
ciaI opinion that the prospects in the
peace situation are "hopeful" after the
text Of the allied reply had been shown
them by representative Of the United
Press.
A member Of the embassy staff said
the reply 10 plain invitation for the
German terms, since il contains loop
hole that makes easily possible con-
tnuation Of the negotiations.
"The loop -hoIe" referred to roads,
"After the violations (by the GEN.
trai powers) and their engagement
In war they (the aIIies) cannot end
tho war at Germany's suggestion
without any conditions with which
to open negotiations"
GERMANY WILL REPLY.
In view Of this request, German dip
lonats believed il highly probable that
their government would reply with
specification Of peace terms. Such re-
ply, il was said, would be sent through,
President Wilson, probably with the
request that Il be kep. secret from the
general public Of all countries.
II was said such specification of
terms would necessarily deal largely
with the principles involved.
CANNOT IGNORE. CHARGES.
Tho most difficult phase Of the sit
uation, il was said, was the reitera-
tion IN the note Of the old charges
against tho central powers.
~ Germany ignores these IN her
reply" the United Press informant do
clared, "she will appear to be taoitIy
admitting them.
az Germany offers rebuttal, Il will
only complioate the situation, to the
prejudice Of progress toward peace"
REPLY TO WILSON NOTE.
The embassy official said, however,
he believes the allied reply to Prssi-
don't Wilson's note would omit these
old charges, and be confined strictly
to tho present subject under discus
sion.
In that event, u was said, Germany
would find it much easier to ansWer.
Incidentally, the embassy mentioned,
unofficalIy, a new peace condition
Germany would be certain to bring up
at any peace conference. This would
be insistence upon an aereemsnt that
the alIieL governments give no support
and aid to any such trade war ~ was

ference.

TO STATE HER TERMS.
But II Must Be In Conferences With
Representation Of Allies,
German Position.

Berlin, Dec. 30.-(Wirelessl.-G
many will announce her peace terms
when her representatives meet face to
face with representatives Of the en-
tente who are prepared to discuss
real basis for ending the war.
This can be stated tonight as the po-
sition of Germany, position on which
not only press opinion, but that or dip
lomats and those close to the govern
ment agree.
Germany's terms are ready. The en-
tente can learn them--as the imperial
chancellor stated-by agreeing to
conference.
Despite American reports, Germany
is not disappointed because those ac-
ouainted with developments declare 1t
will be impossible for either side to
announce publicly what their final
terms will be.

THE COOPERATIVE STORE AGAIN

The department of agriculture at Washington mas a
suggestion for the solution of the high cost OF living
problem, but it is not one that will especially appear TO
the American people just at present. For 1t is the CO.
operative store. The government would eliminate the
existing retail business and place the trade OF the coun-
try on the cooperative basis. The trouble with this Sug--
gestion, however, is that it is visionary, impracticable and
contrary to the spirit of Our institutions. 1t is unjust,
too, in that it proposes to destroy the legitimate business
of a great army of citizens who have labored honestly Tor
years establishing themselves in the confidence and pa
tronage of the people. However, these men are not wor-
rying especially as to the ultimate success OF their pro-
posed opposition. They realize, of course, that IT gwen
government encouragement and backing the cooperative
store may injure their business, but they have no fear OF
the ultimate success of the vagary. The plan is one that
does not harmonic with the American scheme OF things
and is too machine-ikea and combining ever to enlist poPu-
lar support. 1t is not in consOnance with American lie,
American methods or American thought, and this IS why
it has proved a failure heretofore in this country. 10 be
sure, many cooperative store failures have been due TO
mismanagement, but the general failure is ascr1bable TO
an altogether different cause. The jeople OF the United
States want the open market and that competition which
is the life of all progressive trade.

FOR THIS LET US SING PRAISES

For one blessing God gave lis last Tuesday we can all
be thankful. The wires tell us that prize congressional
freak from Illinois, Clyde H. Tavener, under whose frank
the mails have been carrying free, tons of documents, on
which mail clerks have worked overtime to get them TO d
weary and helpless pub1ic-the wires tell us he will offend
no more after the fourth of next March. He was de
feated.
Tavener. it will be recalled, delivered some months
ago a speech in favor of national disarmament and bitter
1y opposing preparedness, having collaborated in its prep
aration with Mr.. Ford. This was all right, for no one
took it seriously except a few ~half-baked mollycoddles,
and had the matter been allowed to rest there no one
could have objected. For it has come to be generally
conceded that our statesmen, no matter how defective
they NAV be mentally or morally, are entitled to spill what
they will on the floors of congress.
But it did not rest there. Messrs. Ford and lavener
elaborated some more. They caused to be printed many
millions of copies OF Tavener's speech, and then huge
bales of these were shipped to the four quarters OF the ma
ton each bundle Of speeches accompanied by a CORE
spending number of franked envelopes, furnished at gov
eminent expense, which the busy agents of these merry
gentlemen addressed, and after inserting the lavener
pamphlet, put in the mails for distribution. Practically
everybody in the country got one and some people got
several. Tt was the most amazing and outrageous spew-
ing forth of demagOglC tOmmyrOt IN the whole worlds
history, and the United States government paid the bill.
1t is estimated Conservatlvely that it cost the federal
treasury $4Ooo 600 to distribute this address, which in nine
hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand was
committed to the waste basket without perusal or even
cursory examination.
1t is said that Mr.. Ford's income is a million dollars
a week, so his participation in this vicious abuse of the
ranking privilege of an Inscriptions congressman can
not be excused or condoned. 1t was simply footing the
federal treasury, and when we recall that this treasurvS
deficit is now piling up at the rate of a million dollars a
dav we are inclined to lose patience with Patriot Ford.
Although immensely wealthy. he is perfectly willing for
the people to pay his bills.

WOULD BOIL EVERYTHING

The latest theories about infantile paralysis have to
do with raw fruits and milk as the source, especially fly
specked fruit. This conclusion is somewhat based on the
known fact that the disease comes in the season of the
raw fruits. 1t is suggested that all fruits, and also let
tuce, celery and so on, when received should be submerg-
ed in boiling water and allowed to boil for one minute.
The lettuce and celery are to be kept in this boiler until
served on the table. All milk and water are to be boiled.
The boiling should also be applied to knives, forks and
spoons. Ice creams, sodas and candies should not be
allowed until December I, unless boiled, since there is
no way of guaranteeing their uncontaminated condition.
All these rules and regulations are going to make living
more difficult, especially for children. But it is we'll to
bear in mind that the conclusions are still only tentative.
They may yet find another source for this dreaded disease.
The Adamson law is not a long one, but there isn't
a railroader in the United States who really understands
it, and not a congressman who voted for it can tell what
it really means. So much for hasty action without in
vestigation. Will congress now proceed to investigate?
Political prophets continue without honor in their
own country.

A CARGO AND ITS SIGNIFICANCE

We marvel at the ~intrepidty of Captain Koenig, who
has brought the little Deutschland for a second time to
an American harbor with a cargo of merchandise from
b~eleagured Germany. 1t is a feat of seamanship not be-
Titled by the fact that it is the fruit of experience gained
by experiment. But the voyage has a deeper significance.
When our supply source of dyes and chemicals was cut
off by closing the German ports, much stirring about fol
lowed, and great patriotic enthusiasm flared up, as we
declared our intention of in the future providing for our
own needs out of our own materials and by our own
science and skill. But here comes the undersea boat,
filled with the expensive materials we are just learning
to make. Of course it's welcome, and the cargo will find
ready sale, but how will that encourage home industry? If
we are going to make our own, why buy the German
goods? The incident is typical of German foresight.
For years before the war the chemists of the Fatherland
controlled the industry for the world, and they do not
propose to loosen that hold, even in time of war, and
when compelled they resort to the use of submarine boats
to carry on a trickle of commerce that will keep the
stream from drying up. The visits of the Deutschland
are prophetic of the time when the Naterland and other
giant liners may again sail the seven seas. Have Ameri-
cans learned the lesson, or will they leave their gates I'M
barred and allow the European manufacturers to exploit
the richest market in the world under free trade laws?

ATTENTION TO CARE OF MILK
Average Farmer Can Apply Principles
of Sanitation as Well as
Small Dairyman.

With the advent Of the bacterial
count that is run on milk in larger
cities of the country, and the careful
inspection of dairies by state officials
more attention is being paid to the
care of milk in all phases Of its pro-
ductiOn.
Although the bacterial count is not
practical for the product of the aver
age farmer the principles of santa
ton can be applied by him, almost as
easily as by the small dairyman. Wash
Ing the udder and teats of the COW
and drying them each time with a
clean cloth before milking is one of
the simplest, and yet most important
steps.
Reliable dairymen have said it is
impossible for clean milk to be pro-
duced if the mixer works with wet
hands. Almost invariably B. coli "a
cause of intestinal troubles) will be
found in the milk that is gotten un-
der such circumstances.
