before she arrived there she had
worked up another charge against
herself by humping into tin soldier
at Third and Main. An attorney ap
peared in court for her yesterday ana
pleaded for leniency and Judge CaVitt
was in a receptive mood. The young
woman got off for S25 and the charge
Of numbering the tin soldier was for
gotten.
After tedious legal battle in whi9h

ice were discussed from alpha t.
omega, +. C. Garner was found not
guilty of violating the city ordinance
forbidding the throwing OF garbage
in an alley or street. An officer was
agite sure that there had been a vio-
lation because of the fact that Gar
ner had thrown ice and water in the
allcV back OF his store. barHer hs
torney declared that there We're worse
things in the alley than salt water and
that the coHcoction from the soda

In the City of Paris Which Still
Takes Precedence over
All War Talk.
REPRoAGHES BEING GIVEN
AS the Wilson Note Makes No
Distinction in Reference to
Origin of the War.

PARIS. Dec. 23.-President Wilson'S
note and the statement of Secretary
Lansing continue to be the sensations
of the day and take precedence over
everything else in the morning papers.
The presidents action by no means
meets with favor among the common
tators, who only vary in the manner
of expressing their opinions.
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 provoke the war
and those upon whom it was forced.
The belligerentS, whoever they are,
see themselves treated in the same
manner by Presidnt Wilson. He does
not remember either the violation OF
Belgian neutrality, the crimes OF the
submarine warfare or any of the
monstrous acts which revolted the
conscience OF his compatriots and that
Of the civilized war. Germany, its
victims, Belgium, Serbia or France,
il is all the same.
I'VE should be lacking in the first
OF our duties in not holding it up as
an outrage to our honor and our dig
nifty"
Georges Clemenceau, former prem
lei, lin his newspaper, u Homme En-
chaine, says:
THE moral side Of the war has es-
capped President Wilson. He puts on
the same footing all of the bellfgerents
without 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 it said that the objects seem the
same on both side.
Lincoln's answer to the French and
British offers to mediate betweenNorth
analogies are freely drawn between
the situation then and now.
What citizen of the United States
would blame us if we would answer
Wilson as Lincoln answered the me-
diators then?" asked the Echo D'Paris.
The Matin says:
THE American note is certainly in
spired by high sentiments. 1t is
doubtful whether 1t is opportune. 1t
comes at a moment when it is to every
interest of Germany to stop or slacken
hostilities. 1t comes after the four
ringing declarations of Sonnino, Pok-
roFsky, BRAND and Lloyd-George.'
The journal and the Gaulois think
President Wilson was Influenced by
fear Of intensiacation of submarine
warfare and considerations of the con-
sequences of total Interruption of sea
traffic if the Germans should carry out
the project they are reported to have
decided on and send 125 submarines
to American waters The president
may also have been influenced, these
J, tyr tn no
Of living in the United States.
LET us consider the president
coolly," says the Gaulois, "and send
him an answer courteous but firm be-
fitting our dignity and our desire to
safeguard the future"

GERMANS ARE DIVIDED
ON THE WILSON NOTE
~ A.seer.1re ...s

tBT ASSOCIATED PRESEl
BERLIN, Dec. 23.-The Berlin press
received President Wilson's note with
varying views, scarcely any two papers
looking alike at the proposition. The
views range from the enthusiastic
welcome accorded the plan by the
Tageblatt to the unexpectedly cynical
quasi acquiescence OF the Vossische
Zeitung, with the middle ground repre-
scented by the Lokal Anzeiger, which
prefers to await the answer of the En-
tente powers to the emperor's note
before deciding for or against.
Gorge Bernhard, in the Xossische
azeitung, views President Wilson'S pro
posal as actuated purely from Amer
lean selfish motives. America, he says.
finds itself in the position of having
passed the heyd eys point in its financial
operations with the Entente. ana now
wants peace and the cooperation of
England in preparing for what it
alludes to as the inevitable Japanese
trouble.
The Zeitung declares also that
President Wilson need not deceive
himself into thinking that he can lay
down any preeepts for the conference.
