EDUCATOR DEFENDS
 AMERICAN SPEECH

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Because American speech has no uniformity does not prove that it is inferior to the English people, in the opinion of Professor Frederick N. Scott of the University of Michigan, who spoke at the annual convention here of the Nat ional Council of Teachers of English today. He insisted that "dawg" is just as good a pronounciation as "dog".
 "The beautiful dialect of the South erner need no longer be defended" 1" said Professor Scott. "New England, formerly supposed to govern in the choice of dialect, no longer holds that honor. I have noticed that the most cultivated New Englander when he warns up pronounces his 'r' just as distinctly as his p and 'q'.
 "We must cultivate the poised, in telligent sincere personality and the voice which will ftly express that personality.
 Professor William A. Nealson of the department of English literature at Harvard, spoke on the "Curse of 
 "lt is only curse," he said, "when it is allowed to take the place of real thinking, imagination and expression. The modern idea is that memory is not a storehouse in which to place parcels not to be used until taken out, but rather an incubator in which you place the eggs and from which you extract the chicks.
 "We ought to train our memory because it is useful in many ways, but we must also use it as a means and not as an end"

ABANDON PROPOSED SALE OF TREASURY
 BILLS OF ALLIES

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The abandon ment by J. P. Morgan and company of the proposed sale of a limited amount of short term British and French treasury bills at the request of the entente allied governments, an- nounced here today, came as a sur prise to the financial community. The announcement, issued from the Mor- gan offices, stated that the action of the British and French government, was taken out of regard for the atti- tude adopted against the sale by the federal reserve boord.
 Other plans to finance the pressing needs of the British and French gov ernments already are. under way, it is understood, but they have not yet reached definite stage. A member of the Morgan firm informally stated that no other plans had been formu- lated, but it was learned from relia- ble sources that the denial had been made as a matter of policy. The plans under contemplation, it is intimated, will involve large amount of dollar credits" available to Great Britain, if not to her chief ally.
 British institutions and private inves- tors still retain large amounts of American securities, although they have been largely mobilzed by the British treasury. There have been no cancellations of orders for war sup plies or any other materials to the countries of the entente allies, accord ing to the bankers acting for those in- terests, and no dilninuIion of orders is expected.
 The British government continues to hold large reserves of gold in Canada and the more remote colonies, and these reserves, it is believed, will be to meet immediate exigen- cics, including stabilization of ex- change.

CARS ARE ORDERED
 ID SOUTH AND WEST
 ID RELIEVE SHORTAGE

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-To afford quick relief to the railroads which are suffering much from a car shortage the American Railway Association to- day undertook to force a large num- Der of box cars from other sections of the county to the south and west. Announcement was made here that instructions had been issued to vir- tually all railroads by the conference committee on car efficiency of the as- sociation directing them to turn over to their southern and western con nections more box cars than were re- ceived in return. This applies both to loads and empty cars,
 Under these directions, it was an nounced New England railroads which have on their lines more cars than they own must turn over to their southern and western connections 30 per cent more cars than they receive from those lines.
 Railroads of the trunk line and cen tral freight territory and lines of the central west, regardless of the num- Der of cars on their lines, were in- structed to send west and south 20 per cent more cars than they receive in return. Southern and western roads were required to give to their southern and western connections 10 per cent more cars than they receive.
 Western railroads were directed by the committee to discourage sending. to the Atlantic seaboard and New England freight which apparently cannot be unloaded and disposed of on it's arrival. Eastern roads were urged to refuse to accept such freight from other lines or from shippers on their own lines.
 All railroads were directed to send to the conference committee on car at Washington weekly re- ports showing the number of cars re- ceived or delivered to other roads, so as to indicate the direction on which cars were moved.

J. $. MINISTER AT

 ADDITIONAL DUTIES

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA message from American Minister Vopicka at Bucharest, reaching the state depart ment today, reported the removal of the Rumanian central government from Bucharest to Jassy, and said the allied diplomatic representatives also had left after placing their interests in the hands of the American legation. The minister said Rumanian officials had little hope that the capital could be saved from capture. He added that he would remain in Bucharest for the present, but would send Secretary Andrews of the legation to Jassy.

CECIL DECLARES WAR
 MUST BE FOUGHT ID
 MILITARY CONCLUSION

LONDON, Dec. 1.-"The war must be fought to a military conclusion on the west and east fronts, with the blockade playing only a secondary part" said Lord Robert Cecil, minister of war trade, in discussing with the Associated Press today the latest de- veloprents in the world conflict.
 '"The condition of Rumania," Lord Robert continued, "causes us grave re- gret. But there is no reason to sup pose the operations there will affect the result of war, which must be fought out on the main fronts. The conditions under which we will accept peace overtures remain the same as outlined several months ago"
 Asked concerning the origin of the allegation in the Morning Post edi- torial that Germany had offered the entente powers generous peace terms in return for a free hand in Central ard South America, Lord Robert said:
 "Of course, it is well known that Germany had very definite ambitions in Central and South America, even before the war, but I am unaware of any peace having been offered us on the terms mentioned by the Morning Post. We have no knowledge that such overtures ever had been made here"

AJO PROPERTY ACQUIRED BY
 KINGNAN MEN
Especial to Daily Miner)

 1 AJO, Ariz., Dec. 1.-Tho most im- portant mining deal consummated in this district recently was the sale last
 week of the famous Sayer-Rowely-
 Thai group to J. S. Amundsen, trus- tee, of Kingman, Ariz., through the agency of Yin Fortuna, recently of Northern Arizona, but formerly of Montana.
 The Saver group lies next to the New COrnelia on the west, and is con sidered by many of the best informed men of the camp to be perhaps the choice of all the country, with the pos sible exceptions of New Cornelia and Ajo Consolidated, and that only be- cause of greater development of those two well known holdings.
 There are 12 highly mineralized claims in the property just turned, ex- tending from the northwest corner of the New Cornelia in ,attenuated form, but contiguous, southwesterly along the east base of the Ajo range, just under a great iron capped hill.
 It is claimed for this holding that 1t has the apex and contact of the country, and is exactly centering along the strike of the ore.
 In innumerable places on each claim the same suggestion of ore occurs as that present on much of New Cornelia and Ajo Consolidated ground, indicat- ing that when the slight overburden of andesite is removed, one huge deposit of ore, as in the other two companies, will be disclosed.
 New Cornelia claims 4O,OO0,OOO tons of ore in sight, and a vaster amount has really been determined by more than a year of drilling. Ajo Consoli- dated also claims many million tons of proven ground, and the new owners of the Saver claims are confident that drilling or sinking will prove their to also measure into the mil lions of tons of commercially valuable ore.
 It is understood that the interests now controlling the group under con- sideration will make an early offering of pre-organization stock, which has become so popular with copper buyers of approved Arizona holdings, and very quickly thereafter will submit an issue of the treasury at considerably advanced price.
 The men working now on the New Cornelia plant and on the other local are waiting impatiently for an opportunity to get in CT the offer ing of the new company, which it is expected will be called New Cornelia, Vest" and it will not be surprising if he bulk of pre-organization stock will De sold right here in camp.
 New Cornelia at S1S.5O and S19 is beyond the reach of most miners and other works in the camp, and New Jornelia, West will give many a ,hance to get in at a figure within heir possibilities.
 Ajo has been passed upon by so many eminent engineers and has be- ome so familiar to copper buyers it is .lmost superflous to undertake to de- cribe here the situation. There are early 1900 men now at work upon the ,ig teaching for New Corneia, and al- nost every group of claims is being in a business like manner eldom witnessed in a new camp.
 A year ago Ajo was almost un- nown. It now has more than 5000 eople within its territory. A year ence there will undoubtedly be three ines that number, and in the not dis ant future, according to local enthusi- sts, will be the greatest camp in Ari- Ona.

The London Morning Post, in its is sue of last Tuesday, argued that the Germans were willing for immediate peace and would give the entente pow CTS everything they desired, but only on the one condition that Germany be allowed a free hand in Central and South America.
 "We understand" said the editorial, "that condition has been put forward, of course, discreetly and unofficially, by the German government, and that it has been rejected by the allies"
 The editorial added that at any time in the last 10 years, five could have had an agreement with Germany by allowing her a free hand across the Atlantic"
