Chester E. Cleveland came before
JIdge Windes this morning as assist
ant corporation counsel representing
he city of Chicago. He said:
Before Corporation Counsel Ettel-
son became corporation counsel he
was interested in the automatic tele-
phone case The automatic telephone
company was his client. For that
reason he deemed it improper for him
to appear personally in this matter.
Mr.. Walter Fisher was engaged to
look after this
Rudolph Matz, Jr., for the Fisher
law firm, then said:
"Mr Fisher alone had charge of |
this case. Nobody in the Office knows
about it. He had expected to be here
Wednesday, but it is not certain he |
can be in Chicago then because he |
has a committee hearing in Wash |
ington on Thursday"
Court then deferred hearing till 2 |
O'Clock in order to give Walter fish |
er's associate and the corporation |
counseIs Office time to find out who |
is going to represent the city.
Atty Schwartz asked the court if |
the delay would affect the status of |
the ordinance at the city council |
meeting to begin at 2 O'Clock.
81 don't think the city will take any
action in a case of this kind on being
notified that the matter is under hear
ing" said Judge Windes.
Chairman Sits of council gas-oil
committee, who was to have called
up the ordinance in council this after |
noon, said he hadn't heard of the city
being notified. Until this noon when
he talked with Day Book reporter.
Aid. Sits fully expected the ordi-
nance to be called up and voted on in
a regular way.

''I'm for referendum on it, said
Aid. Wallace. There ought to be
more compensation to the city than

of 100000 of franchise value which
the city loses as the ordinance now

RELIGIOUS SOCIETY NOTES

The meeting OF the Young Mems
Christian Association Sunday even
ing was led by the Rev. Mr.. Brown.
The topic Of the evening was High
Christian Enthusiasm" In speak
ing OF the high enthusiasm which
has been created during the revival
meetings the speaker told Of its ef-
feet in regard 10 truth, TO God and
10 fellowship. The fifteen new con-
verts present were strengthened in
their new resolutions by the mes
age. Not only in tho Y. M. c. A. but
also in all other organizations on the
campus, the enthusiastic feeling OF
Christian fellowship is running
higher than ever before. Great
good cannot but come from such a
spirit.
The Christian Endeavor Of the
Union Church held one Of the most
enthusiastic meetings of the year
Sunday night. The topic. How to
Read the Bible" was handled in an
instructive manner by the leaders
and then the service was turned
into a general prayer meeting. Many
of the new converts testified and in
spring words Of encouragement
were spoken by the older members.
This was an excellent preparatory
meeting for the great evangelistic
sermon which followed.
The Foreign Volunteer Band met
in the Upper Room Of the Parish
House Sunday afternoon to hear re-
ports Of the Danville Conference by
the delegates. The large number OF
religious meetings during the day
prevented many from coming.
Each speaker brought helpful echoes
from the Convention. The meeting
was constantly increasing in inter-
est when il was compelled to close
by the ringing Of the supper bell.

refugees from the area flooded as re-
suit of the great crevasse in the Mis-.

plantation. The steamers Concorda

crevasse and will continue the work
Of rescuing persons marooned along
the levee and in high places in the
flooded sections. Only a few boats
are capable Of navigating the district
between Newellton and the Tensas
basin, and II was estimated here that
1t would take a week to rescue all the
people in that section. Further rescue
work will be facilitated by the use Of
fat boats. The condition OF the ma.
rooned refugees was still uncertain.
Reports from rescuers state that SUI.
fering was on the increase. The water
from the crevasse was reported to be
past Waterproof and had covered all

Of few high points. East Madison

MEMS MEETING

Sunday afternoon mems mass
meeting was held in Main Chapel as
sequel TO the revival services OF
the past week. Rev. C. s. Knight
delivered a very pointed and eye
opening address entitled, "Hot Shots
from Knight" His discourse was
based on that immortal passage OF
scripture, Whatsoever man soweth
that shall he also reap" He pre-
sented the great social sins and
made a plea for social purity in a
graphic and dramatic manner. The
only lack in connection with such
meetings is that we do not have
enough hot shots" and more vol
leys.

" Entente Powers Reject Dlsarms-

viii Stand by Principle Of Permit
ting Defensive Armaments.
Washington. Feb. offending re-
ceipt Of Germany's answer to Score
tary Lansing's demand for q modifica-
ton Of the new Teutonic submarine
decree, 1t became more apparent that
there 70 no likelihood of any real
break between Secretary Lansing and
Count Won Bernstorff on the basis of
what has already taken place, a. . re-
suit Of the latest submarine develop
ments.
There 10 no doubt that some admin
istration officials attribute to Count
Won Bernstorff responsibility for the
impression that has gained ground
that the United States had definitely
committed itself on the question of
armed merchantmen. This has been
held against the German ambassador
for some time.
Many believe the administration
had two purposes in passing out the
Bernstorff suggestions, one to bring
about a tightening of all sources of
Information In regard to the sub
marine issue and the other to en-
phasize before the public the state
departments contention that It never
had fatty committed itself on the
question Of disarming merchantmen.
Following the publication of reports
that Count Won Bernstorff had got into
the bad graces Of the American gov
eminent, II was officially denied that
Secretary Lansing contemplated call
ing the ambassador to the state de-
partment for an explanation. 1t was
insisted there had been no change in
the relations, Official or personal. be
tween Secretary Lansing and the am,
bassador.
Germany's reply to the new demand
Of the United States is not expected
for several days. As the German de
claration of intention to sink all armed
enemy merchantmen goes into effect
on March 1. 1t is thought probable.
however, that a reply will be received
before that date. The American gov
eminent also is looking for some word
from Austria before that time.
Meantime the United States also Is
tente powers to the disarmament pro-
posals of Secretary Lansing, although
the diplomatic representatives of
these powers already have indicated
that their governments will reject the
suggestions.
In that event. Mr.. Lansing explains.
the government will stand by the prin
ciple of international law permitting

ing their formal replies was explained
partially when 1t was learned that the
French and Italian ambassadors, not
believing that there was any particu-

Thanksgiving Today

1T has long been the custom of our
people to turn in the fruitful autumn
of the year in praise and Thanksgiving
to Almighty God for His many bless
ings and mercies to US and to the
nation.
''The year that has elaped since we
last observed our day Of Thanksgiving
has been rich in blessings to US as a
people, but the whole face of the world
has been darkened by war. In the
midst of our peace and happiness our
thoughts dwell with painful disquiet
upon the struggles and sufferings of
the nations at war and of the people
upon whom war has brought disaster
without force or possibility of escape
on their part. We cannot think of our
own happiness without thinking Of
their pitiful distress.
CHOW, therefore, |, Woodrow Viii
son president of the United States of
America, do appoint Thursday, the
thirtieth Of November as day of nat
ional thanksgiving and prayer and urge
and advise the people to resort to their
several places of worship on that day
to render thanks to Almighty God for
the blessings of peace and unbroken
prosperity which He has bestowed up
on our beloved county in such unstint-
ed measure.
Sympathy for Stricken Peoples
"And l also urge and suggest our
duty in this our !day of peace and alb
undance to think in deep sympathy of
the stricken peoples of the world upon
whom the curse and terror of war has
so pitilessiy fallen and to contribute
out of our abundant means to the re-
lief of their sufferings.
"Our people could in no better way
show their real attitudei towards the
present struggle Of the nations tran
by contributing out of their abundance
to the relief of the suffering which war
has brought in its train.
SIN witness whereof, l have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.

1t is generally so in politics
and in business, any work which
is done or policy which is pursued
out of fear on one hand, or a de-
sire to win tickle public appro-
baton on the other hand-almost
invariably fails, says the Item.
The American people like positive
characters who are not afraid to
put their destiny to the touch;
they like constructive parties who
dare defy convention and blaze
new trails; they like outstanding
public men who do not 'fawn for
