FULL TEXT OF WILSON'S
PEACE NOTE TO NATIONS

The notes to the belligerents are
prefaced with this instruction by
Secretary Lansing to the American
Ambassadors presenting them:
The President directs me to send
you the following communication to
be presented Immediately to the Min
lister of Foreign Affairs to the govern
ment to which you are accredited"
The texts of the notes themselves
then begin identically as follows:
The President of the United States
has instructed me to suggest to the
(here is inserted a designation of the
government addreSSed) a course of
action with regard to the present war
which he hopes that the government
will take under consideration as sug-
gested in the most friendly spirit and
as coming not only from u friend but
also as coming from the representative
of a neutral nation whose interests
have been most seriously affected by
the war and whose concern for its
early conclusion arises out of mani
fest necessity to determine how best
to safeguard those interests if the war
is to continue"
AT this point the texts vary. In the
notes to the Central Powers this para
graph follows next:
THE suggestion which | am in
structed to make, the President has
long had it in mind to offer. He is
somewhat embarrassed to offer it at
this particular time because it may
now seem to have been prompted by
a desire to play u part in connection
with the recent overtures of the Cen
tral Powers. 1t has, in fact, been in
no way suggested by them in it's
origin and the President would have
delayed Offering it until those over
lures had been independently answer
ed but for the fact that 1t also con-
Germs the question of peace and may
best be considered in connection with
other proposals which have the same
end in view. The President can only
beg that his suggestion be considered
entirely on it's own merits and as if
it had been made in other circum-
stances"

German Prisoners in
Absolute Ignorance of
Kaiser's Peace Overture

With The British Armies in France,
Dec. 10, via London, Dec. 21.-Out of
group of German prisoners taken
on one section of the British front on
Sunday only noncommissioned Off
Ger had heard anything of the Ger
man emperor's peace proposal. This
circumstance, coupled with the fact
that there have been absolutely no
demonstrations from any part of tie
German trenches, caused much Specu-
lation among the British officers as to
whether, despite the emperor's ad-
dress to his troops the new peace
overtures have been permitted to reach
the men actually engaged on the
lighting line.
Documents captured within the last
few days repeatedly mention the
audacity and initiative of the allied
airmen and Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg is quoted as having issued
orders that the supremacy of the air
must be sharply contested. According
to the documents the German chief
of staff has ordered that where the
German lines are crossed by hostile
aviators German machines must pene-
trate an equal distance over the allied
lines. There has been only a COM
paratively few hours of good flying
weather in the last week, but numer-
Gus combats have taken place, twenty
being fought on one forenoon on a
certain sector.
German artillery has recently been
quite active and has responded more
freely TO the continuous British fire.
According to prisoners the prepond-
erance of British shells has depressed
the German troops in the trenches
who thought that their own artillery
was not supporting them with tie
same Vigor as the support the English
gave to their men.

THANKSGIVING GAME SHOWS
PROFIT FOR HIGH SCHOOLS
Attendance ODer SeDen Thous and Expenses Small SouDenH
Program Increases Success Of HoLidd4 Battle

When Tech and Central met in their
no-score contest on Thanksgiving Day
14,194 eyes OF spectators who had
paid their way into the contest were
fixed upon the twenty-five struggling
athletes In other words, there were
exactly 1907 paid admissions to the
game. These figures were issued to-
day by Professor j. +. Rees, treasurer
of the Tech athletic association. He
handled the finances for this contest
in an able manner. The Maroon
school was in charge of the affair.
AS a result of the turnout the net
gain on the game will be $2,694.27.
Each school will receive an equal
share, netting the treasurers of the
two associations well on to $1,500
each. Gross receipts for the game
totaled S3,166.15. Expenses were
slightly over $475. With these shares
tucked snugly away for the winter,
sports at the two high schools will be
well taken care of for the year to
come.
Program Brings Profit
While the biggest item in the re-
ceipts was the sale of tickets, yet an
other feature originated by Professor

TECH PREPARES
FOR MIDDLETOWN
"Scow" Garner Assisting Coach
Miller; Eddie Harris Out
of Game

"Scow" Garner, former Tech ath-
lete, is assisting Coach Miller to whip
the Maroon candidates into shape for
the second scholastic basketball con-
test that will be played in the school
gymnasium tomorrow evening with
the Middletown High School five.
"Scow" is without doubt the best
foul tosser the Tech team ever had.
His consistent work from the 15-foot
mark has won many close contest for
the Bucknell team within the last two
years.
Eddie" Harris is suffering from a
badly infected right foot and may he
unable to take part in the contest with
the lower end team. Harris is the best
shot on the team and his absence will
mean much to the team work of the
Tech lads A captain for the team
will likely be elected prior to the game.
League Games Later
Following a holiday vacation the
Tech team will open its scholastic
league series by playing Lebanon High
School on the Armory floor The con-
test is scheduled for January ). The
probable lineup for the game will be
as follows:
Middletown. Tech.
Conklin, f. IIovd f.
Beck, f. Bell, (.
Treichler, c. Walker, C.
Kupp, &. Pollock, g.
SnaVely, 8. Elmer, &.

Rees proved a financial success. While
the souvenir program was big hit 1T
netted the two schools a lump sum of
Sl32 as a profit.
Policemen, officials for the contest
and the 500 paid for the field were u
few of the most important items in the
expense account. These facts and fig
ures published to-day show that the
contest from a financial standpoint
was the most successful ever staged
between the two schools.
While football always nets a neat
return at the end of the season, several
of the other pastimes are always
money losers. For the track meets
staged on the municipal playground
on the Island no admission is ever
charged to the meets, and as result
the track seasons always close with Il
financial loss. While Central has had
successful years in basketball. Tech is
always handicapped because of the
small gymnasium. A small seating ca
pacity prevents little revenue in this
line of sport. To meet these deficits
the money taken in on Thanksgiving
will be used. 1t is also hoped that the
games at the Armory will bring profits.

success even, would bring the war to
an end
Peace May BE Near
ut may be that peace is nearer than
we know; that the terms which the
belligerents on the one side and on the
other would deem it necessary to in
sist upon arc not so irreconcilable as
some have feared; that an interchange
of views would clear the way at least
for conference and make the pcrman-
ent concord of the nations hope of
the immediate future, concert of
nations Immediately, practicable.
The President is not proposing
peace; he is not even offering media
ton. He is merely proposing that
soundings be taken in order that we
may learn, the neutral nations with
the belligerent, how near the haven
of peace may be for which all man
kind longs with an intense and in
creasing longing. He believes that
the spirit in which he speaks and the
objects which he seeks will be under
stood by all concerned, and he con-
fidently hopes for response which
will bring a new light into the affairs
Of the world"
The note to the Entente group will
be delivered to Great Britain, France,
Italy, Japan. Russia, Belgium, Monte
negro, Portugal, Rumania and Serbia.
That to the Central Allies will be de-
livered to Germany, Austria Hungary,

Change i'm Locals
The Independents lineup will be
changed, as Gordon Ford will be un-
able to play for at least two weeks
and it will not be an easy matter for
Captain McCord to fill Ford's po-
sition at guard, as he was playing the
best game of his career.
1t is probable that Harry Rote will
drop back to guard and Norman Ford
play forward, as Rote has had a years
experience at guard with the Central
High team. The Independents will
mold practice this afternoon. The
Christmas game will be with the

TEARNEY'S PLAN
FOR MINOR TEAMS
President Ban Johnson Invites
Three | League Leaders
to Explain

Chicago, ILL.,, Dec. 21.-Whilb the
leaders of organized baseball do not
look with favor upon the requests of
the minor leagues that the draft be re-
moved and the optional agreement
system abolished, they do take deep
interest in the welfare of the minor
leagues.
1t is quite certain that the draft will
not be removed, as it is pointed out
that it would in no way assist the
minor leagues and would be a great
league teams. The International
League and the American Association
are the double A leagues that desire
the draft removed. The Pacific Coast
League is not so strongly in favor of
making the change.
President Tearney of the Threc-I
League, has an idea all his own of how
the minors could help themselves with
the aid of the national commission and
the big leagues
Will Confer With Gar
President johnson, of the American
League, has invited Tearney to appear
before the meeting of the national
commission at Cincinnati. January s,
to set forth in detail his plan for bet
tering the financial condition of the
minor leagues.
President Tearney proposes a re-
classification and readjustment of
minor league territory. This is neces-
sary, he believes, to save some minor
organizations, particularly in the Cen
trail West, from ruin. Mr. Tearney
also desires to have the optional agree
ment, under which players are sent
to the minor leagues by the majors,
changed radically.
President John X. Tener, of the Ma
tional League, and President Johnson,
of the American League, favor legis-
lation to improve the situation. Ed
ward G. Darrow, president of the In
ternational League, and NJ +. Justice,
president of the Central Association,
are among executives who favor the
Tearney plan.

Big Day in the
Chautauqua Bldg.

On Sunday, May IA, not many open
decisions were made for Christ in the
Chautauqua building, but we believe
that 1t was day when many silent
VOWS were registered and a day long
to be remembered by many serious
minded people Of Ashland.
After the Sunday school session
$50 people gathered in honor of the
1916 class Of Ashland high, and to
hear the message of District Superin-
tendent Van Fossen. All honor to
the class of '16! May they be Gods
own young people, giving each life
to the world in need! Yea, and all
honor to the message and Gods mes
senger.
The message was built upon four
great incidents of the life of the man
who said, For me to live is Christ"
Saul of Tarsus, better known as Paul
the Apostle. The first scene was on
the Damascus road, where Saul first
came fact to face with the glory of
the risen Christ, and said, what wilt
thou, Lord?" There Paul was CON
verted and he brought his brains with
him into the Christian life. The sec
ond incident was laid with fine his
toric setting and imagination in the
city of Troas. There Paul had a
vision in which a man from Mace
donia stood by him in the night and
said, Come over and help u.s." And
Paul became a missionary to our own
forbears when they were almost saw
ages in the woods of Europe. The
third scene was laid in the city of
Athens, where Paul stood in the midst
