President Wilson replied: .:,
o.. e., February 10, 1915.
'.NIy Dear Mr.. Secretary:
I'm reply to your letter of today,
let me say:
First, that it is my own judg-
nent that the action embodied In the
Clarke amendment to the bill eX-
tending further self-government 70
the Philippines is unwise at this
time, but II would clearly be most
inadvisable for me to take the po-
sition that I must dissent from that
action should both houses of con-
gress concur in a bill enbodying
that amendment. That is q matter
upon which must, OF course, with
hold judgment until the joint action
OF the two houses reaches me in
definite FORM What the. final action
Of the houses will be no one can at
this time certainly forecast. am
now. OF course, engaged in confer
ence with Mr.. Jones and others with
regard to the probable action of he
house of representatives In this mat
ter, and DO not yet know what II Is
likely to be. The one obvious thing,
it seems to me, IS the necessity for
calm and deliberate action on our
part at this time when matters OF
such gravity are to be determined,
and not only calm and deliberate
action but action which taxes into
very serious consideration views dill
fering tfrom our own.
Second, as have had occasion
TO say TO you. am not yet con-
WINGED that the measure of prepare
tion for national defense which we
deem necessary can be obtained
through the instrumentaltty Of the
national guard under federal control
and training, but 1 feel in duty
bound to keep my MIND open to con-
viction on that side, and think it
would be most unWise and most un-
fair to the committee Of the house,
which has such plan in mind, TO
say that 1T cannot be done. The bill
in which it Will be embodied has
not yet been drawn, as I learned to-
day from Mr.. Hay. ! should deem
IL a very serious mistake to shut
the door against this attempt on
the part of the committee in per-
feet 5000 faith to meet the essentials
OF the program set forth in my mes
sage but in a way of their own
cilooSinS.
LAS you know, ! do NOT AZ all
agree with you in favoring conlpul-
sory enlistment for training. and I
fear the advocacy OF compulsion be-
fore the COMMITTEES Of the house ON
the part of representatives OF the
department OF war has greatly pre-
JUDGED tho house against the pro-
posai for a continental army, little
necessary connection as there is be-
tween the plan and the opinion Of
the chief of staff III favor OF COM
pulsory enlistment.
''I owe you this frank repetition
OF my views and policy in this mat
ter, which we have , discussed on
previous occasions, in the letters
which we have exchanged and in
conversation. am very much
obliged to you for your own frank
avowal Of your convictions. l trust
that you will feel no hesitation
about expressing your personal
views on both these subjects on the
two occasions to which you refer,
but I hope that you will be kind
enough TO draw very carefully tho
distinction between your own iudi-

You will, of course, understand
that 1 am devoting my energy and
attention unsparingly in conference
with members of the various COM
nnittees of congress in an effort to
procure an agreement upon a work

An attempt 20 prevent newsboys IRON
selling their papers IN the streets OF
New York within $50 feet Of public
parks and squares without q permit
from the Park Department has been
nulliicd by decision of Judge Mul-
queen in General Sessions. lie holds
that newsboys have a "clear and alb
solute" right to sell papers ln all
street, without a license or special
permit.
This decision grew out Of the arrest
OF Peter Parclli, charged with violating
the city ordinance by selling papers on
the west side Of Broadway adjoining
Greeley Square Park without permit
from the Park Department. Pareih
formerly had q stand there. but was
outbii boy competitors. VINO offered SD

one foot on the curbstone and one foot
ON Broadway. and continued 10 shout

Andrew c. Aylwin, who had been try
ing since 1912 to collect a judgment for
So .OG6 from George VI. Baxter. -
firm believer in tho value Of publicity.
Baxter was revealed recently as one OF
the collectors for the American Dc
fence Society. Then he was relieved
Of his duties. having been identified
AS one Of the I'VE Boys who have
collected money for various purposes
from time to time. The fact OF his
connection with the American Defence
Society was widely published. also the
fact that he had collected 100000 for
il and received handsome remunera
tion.
Alvin was one of those who took
notice. The judgment creditor learned
that Baxter had an account with the
Hartman National Bank and another
with the Mechanics and Metals Va
tonal Bank.
Alvin obtained a Supreme Court
order directing the officers OF the two
banks to testify IN supplementary pro
ceedings about Baxter account. BaN-
ter had no balance at the Mechanics
and Metals Bank, but at the Hartman
National he had balance Of more
than 81 900.
Baxter did not appear for eyamlna
ton. His bank account was attached,
and then Baxter paid the judgment
held by Ayl~in, which ended the pro
ceediugs.
