In Future VIII Not Even De-
ny Rumors as to the
Progress Of Peace.
ROLE REQUIRES SECRECY
viii Not Give Up Both Her
Territory and Her Colo
nial Possessions.

Washington, Dec. pa policy
of absolute silence regarding the
peace negotiations has been adopted
by President Wilson and Secretary
Lansing. II was stated officially to-
day that all steps henceforth will be
regarded as confidential, that no COM
ment will be made on any develop
ment and that rumors will not be dis
cussed in any way.
The decision to pursue this course
was made known after the state de-
partment had received the official
texts of the German and Austrian re-
plies to President Wilson's notes to
the belligerents and after it was
learned that the Teutonic powers
would be willing to permit a conf.
dental exchange Of tentative terms il
lit became necessary to do so to bridge
the gap threatening to prevent gath.
ering of peace delegates.
So far as the entente governments
are concerned, it is understood that
little if any confidential information
has reached here to shed more light
on their attitude than has been giver
publicly in speeches of their premier'
and the comment Of their press. Con
sequently there is no disposition here
to doubt that the allies unanimousl,
will refuse to enter any sort Of peac'
conference until Germany has indi
Gated clearly on what conditions sh'
will stop fighting.
| On the Teutonic side while the re
ply to President Wilson's suggestion
offered method of procedure, Ger
many is said to be willing to con
slider other suggestions regarding
methods from any quarter, including
her enemies.
Diplomats familiar with the viey
point of Germany and her allies wer
especially emphatic tonight in sayin
that Germany necessarily would b
able to make much better terms i
confidential negotiations than in pub
lie. The radical element in Germa
politics, it is said, must be considered
Under any circumstances however
was said Germany would not consic
er raalSing peace if the entente shoul
insist upon retaining Germany's lo'
colonies and requiring Germany |
the same time TO evacuate all enem
territory now occupied.

Lord Kitchener Dead

II the average American follower Of
world events in recent years had. yes
terday morning, been asked who was
the foremost warrior in Europe, he
would probably have answered
Kitchener"
Kitchener Of Knarturn," the head
of the British war off1ce-Field Mar
shall Earl Kitchener-the man who has
held England in a grasp of iron for al
most two years, the man who has ad-
vised France, and who was on the way
to Russia to advise the Car and Grand
Duke Nicholas, is dead. A German
torpedo or a mine struck the cruiser
on which Lord Kitchener was making
his way to Archangel. and the famous
warrior and his staff became part OF
the penalty of war.
Lord Kitchener's death is a heavy
blow to Great Britain at this time
however able his successor as secre-
tary Of state for war may be. The
death Of the Kaiser could be hardly
more of a blow to Germany.
Probably no other man in England
fully realized the instant problems
confronting the nation a year ago last
August. He understood her lack OF pre-
paredness and her needs. He saw the
magnitude Of the struggle. And kitch-
ener was big enough to smother the
tremendous opposition against him, to
compel response from. every quarter.
From quarter million men he
raised the army to more than Is times
that strength and equipped it. He
squelched the winnings and croonings
and complainings Of the muddleheaded
and faint hearted. He boxed Johnny
Bulls ears until the nations blood was
UP. and then he made the people un-
derstand that their job, indefinitely,
was to support the var.
Gen. Sir William Robertson is ex-
pected to become the head Of the war
office-but Kitchener the British man
Of blood and iron, has paid his forfeit
and Britain has met an irreparable
less.

sweets, fruit or something edible to
pacify their youngsters.
Every traveller is familiar with the
sight Of infants Of various ages en-
gagged in feeding themselves. Despite
the efforts to keep the aisles and seats
of passenger coaches clean they be
come soiled by contact with dirty
boots.
Children are quite commonly per-
mitted to play or creep over the car
floor and seats and then stick their
fingers and toys and any available food
into their mouths. 1t is obvious to the
most casual observer that this is an
exceedingly uncleanly habit 1t is like
wise a dangerous one. Disease breeding
bacteria are carried directly into the
mouths Of these children in this fash
ion. This makes it easily understood
how babies and little children OFTEN
contract consumption-tuberc
mo one should eat without first
washing the hands. The possibility OF
communicating food by handling with
dirty fingers is great. When children
are too young to understand this their
mothers or nurses should be careful
not to permit them to eat until their
hands are washed"
