How to Stop Motor Thefts.

suggested novel plan for prevent

| based on the theory that if the mar

will cease. Under this plan anyone
who bought new car would receive
bill of sale from the maker attest
! ed by the agent, and this would be
duly recorded. 1t would be made 9
J criminal offense for anyone to buy
used car without obtaining a bill
of sale from it's previous owner
: which would include a certificatioI
of the original bill of sale and wodld
trace ownership back to the maker.

on the other would deem it neces-
sary to insist upon are not so ire

Is Not Threat.
President Wilson's note to the bel
ligerents urging discussion of peace
was officially interpreted at our ma
tional capital as not bearing any
threat that the United States might
be forced to enter the war because
of the continued invasion of its rights
by the warning powers on both sides
Lansing Explains.
This Interpretation was made by
Secretary Lansing in formal state
ment issued to overtake what was
characterized as widespread miscon
structions placed on one given ou'
saying that because of the increas
ingly critical position of the United
States as a neutral it was entitled
to know exactly what each belliger
ent seeks in order that it might reg
ulate it's conduct for the future.
No Change in U. S. Policy.
Secretary Lansing's final statemen

House for conference with the pres
ident, declared that he had not in
tended to intimate that the Unite'
States was contemplating any chang
in it's policy of neutrality and tina

note we're sufficient to indicate it
purpose without further comment Oh
his part.
Mr.. Lansing's first statement, mad
orally and of which no officiau cop,
was distributed, led to exaggeration
oof its language and purpose through
out official Washington. Its mos
striking phrases on which the wides
speculation was based were that tn
United States was drawing neare
the verge of war;" and that the sent
ing OF the note will indicate the pos
sibility of our being forced into tn
war;" and that neither he nor Pres

PRESIDENT WILSON
APPEALS FOR PEACE
SENDS WORD TO BELLlGERENAS
THAT A CONFERENCE
BE CALLED.
CAME AS A GREAT SURPRISE
No Actual Proposition of Mediation
Offered-Wants Them to Outline
Their Views for Peace Basis
Other Neutrals Interested.

ington.-Directly contrary to
allall expectations, President Wilson
has taken a step to end the war, in
an appeal cabled to the belligerents,
suggesting that a peace conference
be called.
In official language it is couched
thus:
THAT an early occasion be sought
to call out from the nations now at
war such an avowal of their respect
i've views as to the terms upon which
the war might be concluded, and the
arrangements which would be deem
ed satisfactory as a guarantee against
its renewal or the kindling of any
similar conflict in the future, as
would make it possible frankly to
compare them"
No actual proposal of peace or of
fer of mediation is included in the
presidents communication.
He asks merely that all the ma
tions now locked in the death grip
unloose their holds long enough tC
each carefully outline the basis or
which they could consider peace, thai
the neutral nations may sift theil
proposals and see if there is not
some method of working out a peace
agreement satisfactory to all

some method of working out a peace
agreement satisfactory to all
Concerted Move Belief.
Coming in cooperation with the
announcement that the Scandinavian
countries and Switzerland are max
ing similar moves, officials are in
clined to believe that a concerted
move for peace by all neutrals has
been launched.
The president is believed to have
begun preparation of the note even
before the German peace proposals
were announced However, it was
rushed through to completion and dis
patched as rapidly as possible.
1t is not hoped to bring an abrupt
halt to the war through a confer
ence such as the president outlines;
but it is hoped that it will result in
clearing away all preliminaries so
that when the nations get ready to
stop the conflict, it may be a speedy
stop.
The notes to the belligerents say
that the president lis Indifferent as
to the means taken to accomplish the
proposed conference; but that he
would be happy himself to serve OF
even take the initiative in its accom-
plishment in any way that might
prove acceptable, but he has no de
sire to determine the method of the
fundamentally"
The presidents invitation to con
feernce was delivered through Amer
lean ambassadors to high officials il
the ranks of the belligerents.
David Lloyd Georges speech is mo-
thought to have had anything to dc
with the proposals, either way.
President Wilson is silent as t
his future program, but is emphatic
in his assertion that neither the en-
tente nor the Central Powers haC
any hand in this latest critical move
Diplomats representing both enten
tie and central nations are openl!
