tCopyright.)

Warrington plans for a
joint session of the senate and house
to hear President Wilson ask for leg
islation to prevent the threatened ma
tion.wide railroad strike were dis.
cussed by the president with Senator
Kern, the Democratic leader, Sunday,
when 1t seemed virtually certain that
a break between the railroads and
their employees must follow final con.
ferences at the White House.
Possibilities of legislation were
talked over by the president with Sen,
ator Newlands, chairman of the inter
state commerce commission, and Sec.
rotary Lane, and the president made a
quiet trip to the senate Office building
to find Senator Kern attending meet
ing of the finance committee.
The belief that negotiations between
the railroad executives and representa-.
tives of the men would end without an
agreement has been growing.
This feeling was strengthened when
the members of the brotherhood com
mittee of GAO, tired Of their long wait
departed for home after delegatine
their powers to effect settlement OF
call a strike to a committee Of twenty
four, instructed under no circum
stances to agree to arbitration OF the
demand for an eight-hour day at the
present rate of pay for ten hours.
Whether the plans considered by
President Wilson and his advisers a
the capitol will be carried out depends
upon developments, but 1t is under
stood that II all efforts fail to bring the
employers and their men together thC
president will go before congress anG
ask that II deal with the situation ever
If that necessitates indefinitely pro
longing the present session.
Unless the railroad heads reced,
from their demand for arbitration o
the eight-hour day proposal, one broth
erhood member said, a strike affecting
about 100000 men will be called with
in the next ten days.

GERMANY EXPECTS
TO DICTATE TERMS
INDEPENDENT COMMITTEE FOR
A GERMAN PEACE SAYS TER
RIroRY WILL BE HELD.
Declares That England is Special and
Dangerous Enemy Of Germany,
Seeking to Gain World
wide Dominion.

Berlin.-A proclamation containing
views on the peace conditions which
might be imposed by Germany Is pub
lished Friday by the independent com
mittee for German peace, an organi-
zation formed some time ago by those
considered to be the extreme war ad-
vocates in Germany.
The proclamation asserts that de
spite the fact that The Germans and
their allies are holding three king.
doms In their hands, the entente
statesmen continue to indulge in a
flood of abuse and lies about Ger
many, while themselves violating ev'
cry principle of international law
forcing neutrals to enter the wal
against their better judgment and en-
desvoring to force into submission
through hunger millions whom their
swords could not vanquish.
Our enemies will not succeed,
continues the proclamation. "one
thing they have accomplished is &c
force upon us the realization that
England is our special and most dan
gerous enemy England causes oui
enemies to stick together. England
leads them. Upon England they de
pend and will depend more after the
war. On the wreckage of our empire
England hopes to unfurl the banner
of Anglo-Saxon world dominion"
The document asserts that Russian
territory from the Baltic to Volhynis
must in the future be included In the
German sphere to serve as bulwarl
against the Russian tendency to an
initiate Germany. Frances revenge
ideas must constantly be kept in minC
so that in the west also change!

proclamation, either will be German

of the Catholic center party in tn

and politically"

PROHIBITION AND THE FARMER.

PROHIBITION AND THE FARMER.
There are In the United States
about 100000 farmers, and they
constitute ten per cent of the entire
population. The value of their an
nual products is approximately $10,-
000,000,0O0, or $1,000 for each farm
er. The liquor interests claim that
should prohibition prevail the farm
ers will be deprived OF their market
for this large amount of produce.
There is another side to this ques-
ton. Mr.. Charles Stelzle has made a
careful study of the situation. He
says:
"The liquor industry purchases
every year about $100,000000 worth
of produce from the farmer, and
therefore the liquor industry con-
sumes just one per cent of all that
the farmer produces, that is, $40 for
each farmer in the United States. The
question is, what will the poor farm
err do with his $40 worth of produce
which the liquor industry cannot pur-
chase when 1t is put out of business7
There are over 100000 families In
the United States which would pur-
chase the stuff now sold to the liquor
men. According to study made by
the department of labor of the United
States, the average workingman's
family spends annually about $500 for
food. This would make total of at
least S10,000,000.000 per year for the
20,000,000 families.
"If the 100000 families were each
to increase their purchasing power
one per cent, or So per year, it would
amount to exactly 100000, OOO-the
sum of the liquor mems purchases
from the farmer. But let us assume
that the retail figure at which the av-
erage family would be compelled to
buy is twice as high as the liquor
men pay. This would increase the
amount necessary to be purchased to
$40 per year for each family, or about
twenty cents per week. There can be
no doubt that, with the increasing
earning power and spending ability OF
the average worklngman's family due
to the abolition of the liquor traffic
the average family will easily wish tC
spend at least twenty cents more pei
week for cherries, peaches, apples, Der
ries and the various forms of grain, t
say nothing about flour and bread ant
other materials which come primaril,
from the farm"

Plainville people were conservative.
They looked askance at all innova-

without thought of purchasing.
Young Mrs. Moore walked right IN,
though, as soon as she saw kntie's

RESULTS OF NO LICENSE.

Mayor Paul NJ. Collins Of Peotone,
H., speaking before the Woman's
Voting league, turned the spotlight on
financial conditions since the town has
been dry. Two years ago the village
was $1,000 in debt. On January 1,
1915, said the mayor, there was sur
plus of $1,000 In the treasury and
credits amounting to $500. A $1,000
water bond, due In 1917, has been
paid also. This was accomplished
notwithstanding the loss Of $4,000 an
nual liquor license revenue.

CONVERTED BY EVIDENCE.

Those who were honestly opposed,

ton and Oregon, have been converted
to 1t. as have been. by the actual
evidence that prohibition is a fine
thing from business standpoint. No
city and no community can afford to
have saloons. They are too expen-
sive, morally and economically. In
very few years there will not be
