MRS. WILSON PLANTS TULIPS;
WHO WILL ENJOY THEM?
White House Flowers Pawn of Cam
paign; Show First Lady's' Confidence

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.-Democratic
tourists who watched gardeners place plump
tulip bulbs in the White House garden to-
day declared 1t showed a prodigious amount
of faith and hope in Mrs. Wilson'S heart in
her husbands reelection, while Republicans
passing that way said they considered Mrs.
Wilson a very generous person to start to
beautify the gardens for the benefit of Mrs
Hughes
Whether Mrs Wilson is having the bulbs
set in the garden for herself or for Mrs.
Hughes Is a question which will be an
swered by the November election. The bulbs
are for spring blossoming, and unless 1917
presents an unusually early spring the beau
tiful Holland tulips will not put forth their
blossoms until after the Inauguration on
March 4.
At any rate, the tulip bulbs are there by
the thousands and as a sun.browned farmer
put II yesterday:
MRS. Wilson will enjoy them IL she is
there and Mrs Hughes can pull them up II
she does not like them"

merely jobholders. Only those on
the inside can answer this. 1t is sim
ply because of his selfishness, jeal-
OUsy and that spirit which is within
him to destroy, for Jack Robbins
twice made application for sup't to
a Cook county institution and twice
was he rejected on account Of his
teachings, and this is his vengeance.
Did not the CuTTan committee in
VeStigate conditions at the various
institutions last year and bring a re-
port that the conditions never were
better? If 35 per cent of the boys
that leave Cook county institutions
become criminals and reformatory
inmates, how does Robbins know he
is not one of them, for was he not.
an inmate of one of them at one
time. Let him stand fer himself.
In regard to his assertion that
boy of Is who leaves an orphan asy-
lUm enters the city to seek his for
tUneSand finds himself not match
for the city boy or country boy, as
he has not had the home training
every other boy has, want TO say
for myself and every other graduate
of any orphan home that boy who
leaves on orphan home does not eX-
pect to find it. We may at times be
broken in purse as he says, but boy
who leaves an orphan home has
more spirit in him when he meets
the jars of life than any other kind
of boy, no matter who he is,
Now, let us be frank. Jack knows
he can kick, if you please, and be
destructive, but Robbins has never
been constructive. If you tell boy
of evil men, no matter where the
man ends his days, this boy will think
of evil things, and this has been his
teaching so far as know him, and I
know him well.

ANSWERS JACK ROBBINS. i
trust the majority of the readers Of
Jack Robbins article of Dec. 1 will
read my defense defense'o of an
alUmnus who. was brought up in a
Cook county orphan home.
Where does Jack Robbins get all
this information that 35 per cent of
all the boys that leave orphan homes
in Cook county become criminals
and reformatOry inmates? This is a
falsehood and cannot be proven.
Even if all the boys that leave Cook
county institutions in the next five
years will all become criminals it
will not be 35 per cent.
AS far as moral training is con-
cerned, does Jack Robbins of the
Boys Brotherhood Republic in their
lessons tell them of MEN, great men,
men who have made good? NO, and
emphatically no! His teachings are
of a different kind. His teachings
are that of a bad boy who becomes a
thief and lands in the reformatories,
and boy of 13 to 16 years of age,
curious, eager to find out all he can.
is tempted, and the next step is that
to hell This is his teaching. My
teaching in an orphan home was that
of great men, honorable men, and
this is the system of teaching in all
public institutions, especially orphan
homes. Those who governed me
treated me far from being petted, but
they were hUmanitarians in every
sense of the word. And why does he
say that they are not humanitarians,

GERMANY READY
Willing to Give Allies Full
Statement of Terms.
Also to Discuss Disarmament
and World Peace.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Germany
stands ready to give the allies fun
statement of terms in a peace confer
ence.
This statement was made officially
today by Ambassador Won Bernstorff
following a short conference with
Secretary Lansing today.
Bernstorff said he does not know
officially what terms these are. The
Teutons' terms. Bernstorff said, would
be freely given the entente allies at
any conference to be held.
At the same time Germany is also
ready to discuss disarmament, crea-
ton Of a league to guarantee perma-
nent peace and kindred subjects that
would arise from any peace negotia-
tions.
Not Discouraged by U. S. Silence.
The envoy's visit to the state depart
ment was brief. He sought official
word confirming this country's inten-
tion not to supplement Germany s
peace proposals at this time
While Bernstorff refused to talk
about this - governments plan, it is
known that German authorities are
not discouraged in any way by the fact
that America will not now urge any
suggestions.
ON the contrary they believe Presi-
dent Wilson has left the sway open to
| act later" and hence are apparently
encouraged by this fact
