lied countries through that fact it was decided 10 risk it in view of the great interests involved. t is cN. poctcd u may be some time before the American viewpoint will be ac- oepCeG abroad but if is felt that in the end it certainly will preyai,
 1t elsC was stated most cmphati- ca.ly that the note was not rushed off on Monday in order to get to Pre-. mer L.}dGooree before he had ir- revocabIy committed the allies against reace in his speech 10 parlia- meut That assumption was forcspeu. but officials expect 1t to lose weight and importance as the first impress sions N,ar eff
 The early resentment in London and P1ra on the assumption that the
 president not declared b.th belli- 5ereuts were fighting for the same ob. ice, is lc-drded as unwarranted vi tae state Department. where today it vas said great pains had been taken to avoid that very inference.
 Stress was laid on the presidents words to show that he had net ex- lressod any conviction that both sets of bcJisereuts were fighting tor the same obIrel on the other hand, the language Of the note it was pointed cut specifically said the statesmen ol beth groups of belIgerents had so stated their objects in general terms 10 the people of their own countries.
 Official, were gratded to see this Icing pointed out in some of the later foreign comment received today
 The phrase was written, 1t was said after study of the more recent state. rents of the belligerents rather than the statements at the time they en- tered the war Then the avoWed ob- JeCts of all the nations were more specific Italy for instance coming into the war with an official state. ment of what she felt necessary f]r her future. since then. however, on ell sides ij is felt a constantly increas. ing yagucness has been g.oWing up which is now cxpending into the most nebuious terms
 General hostility to the note at first both in allied and Teutonic countries, as conveyed in news dispatches, was regarded by officials as one of the most hopeful signs, as it indicated that the note was neutral Especially Was the hostility in some Of the Ger man papers pleasing as it was thought that when he allies realized that the plan was not SO welcome to their enemies they would give to tt more earnest and more impartial con sideaton.
 The possibility of an early reply is discounted here The central powers nave ,u Heated that they will not risk laying down their peace terms until they have had reply to their own rropcsuls from the entente. While the reply now is nearly finished, it will take a week to distribute it to the various powers. The entente. having both Lat reply and the presidents note tc consider and consisting of ten lffereLt nations, all with different il. terests, is expected to require consid. arable tim" to get its views into shape for transm ssion. The allies reply to the central powers will not be made public here.

GARDENERS OPPOSITION
 OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
BITTER FIGHT ON THE REPUBLE CAN SIDE WOULD ELECT
 SPEAKER CLARK.

Washington, Dec 23. 3.-Congression- .al leaders tonight regarded Represen- tatiye Gardne.s s announced opposition to Republican Maln as of much i'm pOrtance, since a bitter fight on the Irepu6lican side of the house would make certain, it is declared the re- election ot Speaker Clark.
 It ia not so much the withdrawal of Rcire1eutatiye Gardner's personal
 uppo-t of Mr. Mana that excites iu- torest among the leaders as it is the eNcnjuaiitics that may result in the Ientire 2rogressiye-republican element. At 'ea,, 90 republicans, it has been
 generally reported, are strongly in favor of d more progressive policy >u .Glc rC.UJic2n side and, while no such humber as ta.> gre openly opposed to Mr Maa1 fC, speaker, they want q declaration os progressive principles from WhomeyC- they support for the place before t'ey pledge themselves.
 Thus far Rerresentative LenroQt aas made no forma announcement of ms candidacy for the speakership, all tlougE he has been urged to do so by some progressiye-republicans.
 At present neither democrats nor lrepubhcans apparently are absolutely certain of a majority Of the house. Leaders of both sides claim majority nf the house. Leaders of both sides claim majoritiea, but at least three seats are in doubt and there will be

 The decision of the board had been eagerly awaited by the railroads in general and the four major brother hoods of railroad trainmen for what bearing it might have on the contro- versy between them over the Adam son Act in which the eight hour day is a question at issue.
 The decision today Tn the switch. men'o case says that eight hours or less shall constitute a days work
 Switchmen at present receive a maximum hourly rate of 40 cents The award increases this rate to i5 cents, so that, as explained tonight by Judge Charles B. Howry, chairman of the board, on the eight hour basis ~%-ywill receive s3.GO for a days work, 40 cents less than they re. ceiyed under the ten hour basis BN working ten hours under the new rate they will receive s450, or % cents more than under the old rate. In a statement appended to the award by Judge Howry and Prof Jeremiah W. Jenks the neutral mem bers of the board of six. it is declared that the long hours of switchmcn do not imply excessive physical labor, that it has been established it will not be possible to make the actual working eight hour effective in the >case of more than a small percentage pf the switching crews" and that 'with the exception of one expert tlclt- the testimony was unanimous

J. c. HERBSMAN AROUSES
cHAUTAUQUA INTEREST

Mr.. J. C. Herbsman, the wide
awake publicity man representing tn
Ellison-White Chautauqua System
made Payette a visit last Friday
and entertained a number of Chau
tauqua workers with an informal bu
highly interesting talk at the Com.
mercial Club in the evening.
Mr.. Herbsman gave very in
teresting narration of the exceIlen.
cies of the program that has been
planned for the Payette Chautauqua;
his talk aroused much enthusiasm,
created new interest and will have
most beneficial influence on the
work that is now being done to make
the coming ChautauQua even a great
er success than that OF last year.
which was admitted TO have been
one of the best in the entire cir
cult.
Mr.. Herbsman's conception of the
big work in which he is engaged
lends inspiration to those with whom
he comes in contact, puts increased
vitality into the movement and is at
once a benefit to that spirit of
community cooperation without
which many of the things that are
worth while, the better things of
life, cannot be reached His optimism
S of kind that is contagious and
he results of his preliminary cam
in the interest of the Chau-
auqua will have a beneficial effect
n stimulating community interest in
'ther activities besides that of the
movement.
