The question of failure to report

President Tells Americans TO
Prepare For More Strained
International Affairs
COMMENTS ON LIARS
Takes Cracks at ''Humbugs" in
Mexican Snarl: Urges
Big Army
BY associated Press

New York. Jan. 2S.-Presdent Will
son returned to Washington to-day,
leaving a message to Americans to
prepare for time when the inter
national relations of the country may
not be so bright as to-day. Frankly
admitting his change of mind on the
preparedness issue within the year, he
called upon Americans to insist upon
a body of 100000 trained citizens who
will serve as a national military re-
serve Immediately available under
conditions of danger.
His utterances at New York were
regarded as expressing the keynote OF
the preparedness campaign through
out the Middle West upon which he
starts late to-day. He spoke before
the Railway Business Association ban
fore a gathering of 700 clergymen and
at the banquet of the Motion Picture
Board of Trade.
Il cannot tell YOU what the inter-
national relations of this country will
be tomorrow" said the President, at
the railway business association ban
uuet, and l use the word literally.
And l would not dare keep silent and
let the country suppose that to-mor-
row was certain TO be as bright as to-
day"
Ready to Fight
Applause greeted his assertions that
Il always accept, perhaps by some
impulse of my native blood the inVi-
tation to a fight" and that while
America stands for peace its people
are ready at any time to fight for
the vindication of their character and
their honor"
Suffragists who attempted to obtain
from the President a promise to sup
port a woman suffrage amendment to
the Federal Constitution were disap-
pointed to-day by their failure to elicit
anything more than a reassertion of
his opinion that the suffrage issue
should be settled by the States.
Comments on Liars
Not the least interesting phase OF
the Presidents visit was his speech
to the Motion Picture Board of Trade
where his outspoken comments on
liars and their efforts to deceive
him as to the Mexican situation and
the expression of his views of men
who attempted to "humbug" him stir
red his audience to laughter. The
| President put in a sixteen-hour day
here.
The President spoke earnestly on
the subject he had selected for him.

squad of detectives appeared with
their prisoners and took charge of
the moneybox.
At detective headquarters the
money was counted and it totaled

$4,000 RAISED
BY TWO JEWISH
RELIEF BODIES
Small Collectors Gather More
Than $1,000 in Tag Day"
Campaign

Jewish war renef contributions
from this city and vicinity will total
more than $4,000 it is estimated.
The propaganda to raise money to
relieve their hundreds of thousands
of co-religionlsts on the war fronts of
Europe was begun in this city January
16 when a nuge mass meeting of
Jewish people was held in the Techni-
cal High School. At that time more
than $6,400 was raised in an hour
and a half.
The campaign was eliminated yes
terday in a widespread observance of
Jewish war relief day" This date
had been fixed for observance
throughout the nation and the State
by proclamations issued by President
Wilson and Governor Brumbaugh.
Jews and Gentiles were urged to con-
tribute what they could.
Two committees conducted Harris
burg's campaign.
one headed by David Kaufman
operated under the jurisdiction of the
American Jewish war relief commit
tee. The other headed by Rabbi
Silver conducted its campaign on be-
of New York. Both committees were
served by scores of young Jewish
men and girls who acted as solicitors.
The amount raised yesterday by
the Jewish war relief committee can
not be definitely announced until all
the checks and cash contributions are
totaled. At meeting held in Lebanon
last evening Rabbi F'reund collected
800. Steelton also contributed several
hundred dollars. Checks are still
coming in from various people in the
city and surrounding towns. The
synagogues have not all been heard
from.
Rabbi Silver reported to-day that
his group of volunteer workers col
lected $500, including the contribu-
tions from Steelton. This, with the
sum already raised prior to yesterday,
brought the total up to something
like $500. All the money collected.
of course. will go to the aid of the
Jews on European war fronts. This
fund raised by Rabbi Silver and the
money raised under the direction of
the Jewish war relief committee,
amounting to something over $6.400,
will run Harrisburg's contribution to
at least $4,000 and probably more.

Leading Railways TO Organize
Conference Committee to
Meet Employees
WILL AFFORD MEDIUM
Realize They Have No Ade-
quate Method of Meeting Ex-
traordinary Situation

New York, Jan. 2S.-Officials of the
leading railways of the United States
are considering a plan to organize
a general conference committee of the
railway managers of the whole coun-
try to negotiate with representations
of the four brotherhoods of railway
employees which are voting on the
question whether to demand an eight
hour working day. 1t is stated that
II this plan is put into effect it will
De the first time in the history of the
country.
The plan haF been proposed because
1t is realized that the railway officials
have no adequate method of meeting
the extraordinary situation now con-
fronting them. Never before has
there been a labor movement of such
magnitude among railway employees
say the officials.
Conference Now
There is at present a conference OF
railway managers in each of the three
districts into which the country is
divided but the functions of each are
restricted to the territory in which its
road operates. There are also the
American Railway Association with
members from all parts of tht United
States but it has none of the powers
proposed to be conferred upon the
general conference.
Although the plans for the proposed
conference committee are not fully
developed the general aim is to draw
It's members from among the railway
managers composing the conferences
of the eastern, southern and western
districts.
The national conference is intended
to afford the operators and the broth
erhoods a medium through which the
eight-hour issue can be discussed as
affecting the entire country without
splitting the negotiations into districts
The proposal is understood to have the
endorsement of labor officials who as.
serted that they wanted to confer with
the railroad officials as a general body
