New York, Dec. 12.-This is a Christmas

old woman, thinly clad. Close to her,
whining with the cold, covered a little

She told the policeman she was Mrs.

boy. My husband disappeared several

sented in the following interviews:
William Alden Smith, Republican.
member Of Senate, member Committee
on Foreign Relations: 81 hope sincerely
that the questions raised are at least
worthy of some consideration by the bel
ligerent powers, not necessarily with the
hope or view that the plan set forth
would in all its details be acceptable, but
with the view to transferring the con-
troversy from the battlefield to the
FORUM 1t is a well known fact that
after the close of the Russian-Japanese
war the conditions Of peace were very
far from agreeable to either country but
efter the representatives OF Russia and
Japan came together there was very
little difficulty in finally compromising
their differences
Two of the proposals contained in the
dispatches impress me very strongly with
their sense Of Justice and fairness. The
restoration of Belgium for the Belgians
will touch the heart of every American
while the proposition to recognize the
independence and sovereignty of old Po-
land indicates a somewhat belated but
nevertheless kindly purpose to give to
IHtSe HedNlly DuTOeneQ people the rlSntS
which are properly theirs and the lib
erty for which they have prayed for a
century. l like both of those PROPOSE
tions and believe they will find ready re-
sponse from mankind generally. No pos
Sihlc harm can come from a free and
full discussion Of the question of peace
and it is within the range of possibility
that fundamental differences between the
warning nations might be composed"
Senator F. NJ. Simmons. of North Caro-
lima. Democrat. chairman Finance Com
mittee-This is a very encouraging sign
Of peace, an object which we all hope
to see accomplished as soon as possible
That the belligerents are ready to talk
peace is gratifying. When the nations
signify that they are ready for peace
progress will be made toward the estab-
lishment Of that ideal condition.
Senator Morris Sheppard, Democrat,
TeXas-It is most gratifying to see this
hopeful sign for world peace. 1t is GER
tain that the President will act when he
deems it wisest.
Warren G. Harding. Republican. Sena-

there is some prospect for peace and l

is made shall include an agreement for
