WILSON,
MESSAGE
TOSOLONS
Devoted Largely to Discus
sion of Railroad Labor
Dispute
SUGGESTIONS ARE RENEWED
Three Matters Before Sen
ate, and Educational Bill,
Discussed
SUGGESTIONS ARE RENEWED

Washington, Dec. 5.-When Presi-
dent Wilson appeared before congress
this afternoon Democrats and Repub-
icans united in a great demonstra-
ton to felicitate the president upon
his reelection. The galleries were
briskly into the chamber and took his
place at the clerks desk, manuscript
in hand, ready to begin his address.
The presidents mess!a age was one
of the shortest on record. He discuss
ed at greatest length the dispute be-
tween the railroads and their en-
ployes, renewing the suggestions that
he made when the controversy was at
a crisis last summer
Aside from the railroad labor dis
pute the president touched on three
bills before the senate and the educa-
tional bill, passed by the senate and
now before the house. The president
said:
Gentlemen OF the Congress:
In fulfilling at this time the duty
laid upon me by the constitution of
communicating to you from time to
time information of the state of the
Union and recommending to your con-
Sideration such legislative measures
as maybe judged necessary and ex-
pedient I shall continue the practice,
which l hope has been acceptable to
You, of leaving to the reports of the
several heads Of the executive depart
ments the elaboration OF the detailed
needs of the public service and con-
fine myself to those matters of more
general public policy with which it
seems necessary and feasible to deal
at the present session of the congress.

Hope Of Saving Bucharest Is Practically Abandoned
Germany Is Ready to
Discuss Business Peace

London Dec. 5. - An article predicting the ap-
proach of peace negotiations has appeared in the Ber
lin Tagebatt and is quoted in Amsterdam dispatch
to the Exchange Telegraph Co.
The Tageblatt Says: ''The moment is near when
business peace will be possibe-a peace which the
allies and central powers discuss in view of the
securities they possess. Of course, those who
slider such proposal must not be allowed to return
home empty handed. A status quo ante bellum is i'm
possible since the independence of Poland pro-
claimed but it is remarkable that the number of Ger
mans who wish to annex Belgium has shrunk recently
to almost nothing while many pam Germans are ready
today to listen to the word 'pacifcsm without pro-
test''
The Tageblatt adds the fact that Germany wants
business peace is sign not of weakness but common
sense.

The twenty-four hours ending at
o'clock today produced a few inter

that has grown out of the sale by E
S. Fentress and Charles E. Marsh ot
their holdings to the Nonpartisan Pub

Here's the record:
Courier-News directors held q
meeting yesterday Afternoon.
Record was made of the offer Of
interest payment by Marsh and
Fentress to DR.. L. T. Guild, and
the sum has been deposited in a
local bank for DR. Guild.
Bart p. Guild, advertising
manager OF The Courier News,
was released from service.
Fentress and Marsh refused to
sign over 251 shares of stock held
by DR.. L. T. Guild as collateral for
his security.
Formal demand was made today
on e. s. Fentress, that he provide
the $4,000 bond as treasurer, as
required by the corporation by
laws.
Notes for 100000, given by Fen

bank.
