SOUTH AMERICA MAY
BACK WILSON NOTE
A B c Governments Considering For
NAL Peace Ac-
ton.

Buenos Aires, Dec 27.-Certain South
American chancellories are tentatively
communicating regarding the dispatch OF
a note to belligerents backing up Pres
ident Wilson's peace plea, it was report
ed here yesterday. No official confirm
alton was to be obtained. The reports,
however, went so far as to suggest that
the Argentine, Brazil and Chile govern
ments were mainly concerned in the
move.
South America has generally applaud
ed the timeliness of President Wilson's
peace suggestions and saw in Secretary
Lansing's hints OF America joining
league of nations after tie war to en-
force peace an opportunity for a closer
pan Americanism.
Secretary Lansing suggested that the
United States would first of all feel the
desire of joining with South American
nations in any such plan.

Bring Back the Army.

The New York New London Atlantic
City inquest on Mexico has been resumed
at Philadelphia, and another note to
Carranza was dispatched thencei last
night. Its text is withheld from the
public because it is in the nature of a
postscript" Assurance is offered, how
ever, that the terms of the protocol,
which was sent forward for approval last
month, have not been altered. Credit
must be given the American commission
ers for their cleverness in eoncealing the
truth from the American people and
missing an opportunity to mislead and
deceive them in respect OF accomplish
ments and prospects 1t will not be gen.
orally remembered, but it is nevertheless
a fact, that the protocol was wholly sat
isfactory to the Mexican commissioners
1t was satisfactory because assertion OF
the right of the United States to pursue
bandits across the international border
was excluded from the protocol IN re-
Spouse to the objections of the represen-
tatives of Carranza. 1t was dealt with
in a postscript, and it was suggested at
the time that Carranza would IN all
probability accept the protocol and re-
iect the postscript. Apparently he has
acted up or down to expectation, ana
naturally enough the American commis-
sioners have resorted to postscript IN
order to find way out. Whether they
have withdrawn or modified or otherwise
doctored in the new postscript the dec
larations in the old, time will tell.
The main matter to be kept In view,
however, is the urgent necessity OF bring
ing Pershing and his little army home.
They have suffered in death and sickness
and humiliation more than enough. They
have been hamstrung by their own gov
eminent and harassed by the bandit gov
ernments of all the bandit chiefs in Mex
leo. Almost any terms that can be ar
ranged which will enable the withdrawal
of the expedition should be accepted, and
accepted speedily. 1t is too late to save
any prestige but it is not too late to
save the lives and health of the expedi-
ton. Oily -dallying over language, back
ing and filling over phrase, juggling
words from one city to another-sure-
" we have had enough of these things.
Let's get our soldiers out of Mexico as
soon as possible. Their expedition has
proved punitive only to their lives and
health and to their nations prestige

Views on Stock Prices.

Even men who shun the stock market
are apt TO admit its faculty for right
prediction in regard TO large economic
changes. In 1899 and 1907 the market
beat the country by year, in 1903 and
1918, by several months, in the matter
OF ups and downs, Impressed by this
record, persons who in many cases have
no interest in the transactions save IN
their barometric capacity are now won

When pouring medicine from bottle,
always pour from the side opposite the

each room with the eyes of stranger,
and then, with due regard for beauty
and fitness. she tries to get rid OF what
is not needed. Old clothing and maya

EFFORT TO TERMINATE TRAN

President of Interborough Rapid Tran

Differences Between Manage
and Employees.

New York.-After Mayor Mitchell
and the public service commission had
taken steps Tuesday to terminate the
transit strike in this city by urging
that it be Immediately declared off
and that both sides arbitrate their diff
fculties, plans to continue and extend
the strike we're discussed at a meet

central bodies of Greater New York
President Shonts of the INTERIOR
ough Rapid Transit company an
nounced that he will not accept the
recommendation of Mayor Mitchell and
the public service commission to call
of the strike and arbitrate the diff
ferences between the railway COM
panies and the labor unions.
After the conference, Hugh Frayne,
New York state organizer, OF the
Federation of Labor, issued
the following statement:
The consensus of opinion among
the members of the various organiza-
tons represented was that the rail-
road officials must be met with the
sort of force that they are applying
to the men"
Frayne declared that the United
Hebrew trades were represented in

SAYS HYPN0TISM is EASY
Bring Anybody He Ever Met
Under Complete Subsection.

Prof. Hugo Muensterberg, the Har-
ward psychologist, says he can hypnO-
tie anybody he ever met, according
to a Cambridge (Mass.) dispatch to
the New York Evening Telegram. He
knows Kaiser Wilhelm very WELL and
said he would not except the kaiser.
The Harvard summer school students
were told how easy it is to hypnotic
anybody, almost as easy as rolling
off log" The professor predicted a
great field in the future for the expert
in mind control. He said:
"Hypnotism presents a vast field for
the expert. 1t is so easy TO produce
the hypnotic trance that anyone can
do K on others, but it is exceedingly
dangerous when thoughtlessly or ig
norantly used. 1t is simply case Of
increasing the suggestibility of the
mind, and 1t can be used in medicine
to cure the morphine fiend, the alco-
holic fiend and all who have abnormal
desires. Often only a slight hypnosis
is necessary to effect a cure for nerv-
Gus disorders.
Medicine, equally with law, is to
be the food for the psychologist of the
future. Every mental trait can be
measured exactly by almost perfect
standards. The old methods are OBJ
solete and the whole science of dag
nosis has been carried into the field
of experiment. Psycho-analysis has
great future"

GOOD EFFECTS OF TROUBLE
Much of the Advancement of the
World May Be Traced to Those
PugnaciousIy Inclined.

Most of us love trOuble-that is
most of the human race. Man cannot
remain contentedly out of trouble for
any length of time, it seems. And if
you doubt the statement. all you have
to do is to remember the numerous in
stances when you were getting along
all right, and then deliberately "butted
into" something that was not your af-
fair.
Take the matter Of politics, if you
please. Half of the political troubles
we read about are unnecessary. That
is to say, a lot of the people mixed up
In politics are so mixed for no pur-
pose in this world save that they may
make trouble for themselves or some
body else. For it really makes little
difference to the average man who is
elected indeed the average man takes
an interest in politics not because he
thinks by doing so he can best serve
the public, but because he wants a
fight
Of course all of us like to fiatter our
selves that We are doing something for
the nation or the country or a group
of people But the truth is most of
US are doing nothing of the kind.
But, did you know that most of the
good that has so far resulted to the
world has come from the troublemak-
ers, and not from the peacemakers p

REPUBLICANS WIN
IN MAINE ELECTION
WREST CONTROL OF HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES FROM
THE DEMOCRATS.
Elect Governor, an Auditor, Two
United States Senators and Four
Representatives in Congress,
With Aid of Progressves.

Portland, Meat the election on
Monday, Maine Republicans elected a
governor, an auditor. two United
States senators and four representa-
tives in congress, and, wrestling con-
troll of the state house of representa-
tives from the Democrats, will be able
on a joint vote of the legislature to
elect the other state officers not
chosen by popular vote.
Carl E. Milliken led his ticket, de-
feating Governor Oakley c. Curtis,
who sought reelection, by majority
of approximately 1900.
The Republican drift extended to
county officers. the greater number OF
counties choosing Republican county
attorneys and sheriffs. These offices
are important locally because the hold
ers are charged with enforcing the
prohibition law.
The vote was heavy, as had been
expected, for the campaign had been
waged with a determination not seen
in recent years The country was
searched out for speakers of national
prominence, and the greater number
of these battled on national issues.
The fight was particularly hot for the
two United States senatorships and
the four places held by Maine in the
lower house at Washington. National |
defense, the tariff and the eight-hour
law for railroad men doomed large in
the speeches.
The Progressives, who two years |
ago cast 1926 votes, returned largely |
to the Republican party, in the opin-
ion of Republican leaders.
