If the Democratic national admins
tration had left on the statute books in
1894 the federal corrupt practices act
placed there by the Republicans there
would be no occasion for the present
administrations campaign publicity
measure, which at best is a very poor
substitute for the law repealed.

1t is true, as Vice President Marshall
remarked, that the Hughes speech Of
acceptance "had all the length and tone
of dissenting opinion" But he omit

thus expressed is that Of the American

Mr.. Wilson says his mind is progress

progress can never tell the direction 1t

progressing backward as forward.

AWAIT REPLY
OF ENTENTE
Wilson Will Make No Com
ment on Peace Offer
Till Then
BUT PRESIDENT is
DEEPLY INTERESTED
Government at Washington
Will Adopt Wary At
titude at Outset

Washington, d. c., Dec. l2.-The news
that Germany and her allies were about
to enter on peace negotiations was sent
to President Wilson. Speaking for the
president, Secretary Tumulty said he was
deeply interested but could make no com
ment, at least until it was learned what
reception the proposal received from the
entente allies.
The state department received the first
information of Germany's peace propos-
ais through Associated Press dispatches,
from which the officials assumed that
the Offices of the neutrals addressed were
asked only to transmit the proposals.
This will be done so far as the United
States is concerned promptly on receipt
of the official dispatches. They will be
forwarded to all the entente countries,
where the United States represents the
central powers automatically.
Whether the United States would ac-
company the transmission with any com
ment or suggestion, 1t was indicated, de-
pends entirely upon the nature OF the
proposal and whether it is considered
likely of consideration. If the offer is
deemed one on which all sides might
negotiate, the United States probably
would urge that it be taken up.

PUBLIC MIND
IS POISONED
By Lying Press of Ger
many's Enemies" De-
clares Official Note
REPLYING TO PROTEST
OF U. S. GOVERNMENT
Deported Belgians Are Said
to Be Well Cared For
in Germany

Berlin, Dee. IL, via london, Dec. l2.-
Germany's answer to the American note
regarding the deportation OF Belgians is
confined almost exclusively to a presen-
tation OF the situation in Belgium before
the deportation. The note declares there
was urgent need of some kind of work
for the Belgians, because idleness was
causing demoralization.
The reply volunteers a permit to Amer
lean diplomatic representatives to visit
the workmen's camps and assure them
selves that the Belgians are well off, and
concludes with an expression OF regret
that the United States has never seen
fit to protest against the dragging Off by
the allies of the Germans from East
Prussia, Alsace and other places to 81
IBERIA and elsewhere. These actions are
characterized as severe violations OF the
laws of humanity.
The note says the Beleians now work
ing in Germany are engaged without ex-
eeption in occupations permissible under
the international law, such as legiti-
mate agricultural and industrial pur-
suits, and that the German government
regrets extremely that the situation has
been completely misrepresented in the
United States by the Lying press OF
Germany's enemies"

Saws Goethals.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. l2.-Addresslng
more than 900 engineers at the annual
dinner of the Engineers society of west
ern Pennsylvania here last night. Ma
ior General George w. Goethals recon-
mended the abrogation of the Taft agree
ment with the republic OF Panama and
the establishment of complete sovereign
tv over the canal zone by the United
States. He also declared that the canal
could be made to pay largely il It was
allowed to engage in business other than
that directly concerned with the transit

building of great warehouses and show
rooms for the storage and display OF

tion to the interest of America and

people of the Central and South Ameri-

General Goethals declared that because
of the system under which American and
English vessels were rated as to their
CARRYING capacity, on which they are
taxed for tolls all the advantage was
with English shipping as against Ameri'
can and it worked also to the disadvan-
tage of the canal.

TWO WERE KILLED
AT WEST RUTLAND
When Locomotive Collided with Block OF
Marble Swinging From
Derrick.

Rutland, Dec, l2.--The l0.year old son
OF Mr. and Mrs. Stanley La Gage OF
West Rutland, was instantly killed and
his body terribly crushed and Patsy
Dino, about 40 years old, an employe OF
the Vermont Marble company, received
injuries from which he died within few
minutes, about 4:35 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon when a Delaware & Hudson
locomotive collided with block of mar
bic swinging from derrick at the True
Blpe plant of the Vermont Marble COM
pany at West Rutland.
The engine, attached to two passenger
coaches. was backing toward the True
Blue plant when workmen swung the
derrick carrying block of marble weigh
ing several tons, directly over the rails.
Engineer H. Scism was unable to stop his
train and the tender of the locomotive
struck the marble, splitting the block,
pieces falling on each side OF the track.
One piece fell upon the La Gage boy
and the other dropped upon Dino, who
was at work under the derrick. The ten
der of the engine was badly damaged.
Conductor j. II. Collins was in charge OF
the train.
The La Gage boy was on his way TO
meet his father, who is employed by the
Vermont Marble company.
Dino was removed to the Office OF the
marble company, but expired as he was
taken into the building. DIR. C. B. Ross
and DIR. C. f. Flemming were summoned,
but the injured man died before they ar
rived. The marble company's ambulance
removed the bodies to the homes OF the
victims.
The accident happened opposite the
Vermont Marble company's store. AS
the train backed toward the True Blue
plant the engine was passing some cars
on siding and the derrick boom swung
out behind the cars directly in front. OF
the approaching engine. The tender and
the engine crashed into the block of mar
bic and the impact loosened the heavy
chains which suspended the stone.

HOLLAND APPEALS TO U. S.
To Put an End to the "Hellish Scourge''
of Deportation.

London. Dec. l2.-The Associated Press
has received from Amsterdam an "Ap-
peal to the American people" by the Hol-
land section of the League of Neutral
States. The appeal is signed by Presi-
dent Niemeyer and Secretaries Delataille
and Walch. 1t follows.
"Your president said that sooner or
later a moment would come when the
war would make the position of neutral
nations unbearable. For us Hollanders
that moment has arrived; not through
our own sufferngs but because we cannot
passively contemplate the CHASTITY suffer
ing inflicted by Germany upon Belgium,
our neighbor.
"The eloquent protest of the Belgian
government and of the higher clergy
have acquainted you with the facts. We
glance at the section of The Hague reg
ulations OF 1907, which deals with the
law of war on land, will make it OBJ
vious to you that the sole reason why
the prohibition OF this modern slave deal
ing was not included was because no del
egate imagined it would ever be neces-
sary.
Indeed, one must turn to the history
of the early ages of long past centuries
before international law existed to find a
parallel to the enslaving of the Belgisns.
The Hague regulations stipulate that the
honor and rights of the family must
be respected, but the German government
deliberately drags the Belgian families
apart To us this cruelty is more vivid
every day. Every day numbers of fugi-
tiyes. in spite of the deadly erected wire
which the Germans have erected along
the frontier, succeeded in escaping to
Tho Netherlands From them we learn
the painful details of the Inutterable
despair of the women and children who
are left behind and of the agonizing
scenes which take place when husbands,
brothers and sons, dragged from their
homes and women folk are packed into
cattle and freight cars and thus trans
ported slaves to an unknown destination
and to an unknown fate
"To put an end TO this-to arrest this
helIish seourge which at this moment
lac.rstes the whole of northern France
and western Russia, there is but one way
open, and that is collective action on the
part of the neutral nations.
"And for you, citizens of the might
est of neutral states, it is, in our opinion
the right and duty to take the leader
ship upon you. Only if you place your
selves at our head can any success crown
our efforts. This tyranny is not TO be
borne in patience, and the neutral ma
tions cannot longer stand idly by while
in western Europe the most primitive
laws of humanity, observed even by un
civilized races, are trampled under foot. !"
