WHY WILSON IS PREFERRED.

In an interview on August the
Goth, Mrs. Joseph Fels in the fol-
lowing words told why she pre-
fers Wilson to Hughes.
81 am for Wilson because he is
a real democrat. That means
that he is for his fellowmen at
home and abroad. | am a Ger
man and | do not understand how
the Germans Of this country Can
fail to see that Mr.. Wilson is
their friend, just as he is the
friend of his fellowmen in all
countries. One can always count
on his impartiality-that he will
not favor any particular one be-
cause he is a friend to all. We
can see bv his acts that he really
does this: they may not always
show forth his intent; but if
one waits long enough. one finds
that the true intent and intelli-
oence of the highest kind were
there-an intent cons0nant, with
the love for humanity. His
foreign policy alone would en-
title him to reelection. His in
ternal policy. of course, adds so
much the more to his desirable
ity. What he has done gives us
an earnest of what he will do, if
one will use ones own intelli-
gence to see through the mists
engendered by the present world
situation
Speaking of Wilson's speech Of
acceptance a recent issue of the

siveness and purpose marks the

civil war, to the beginning Of
the present Administration, the
Democratic party has been a
party of irresolution. Sound
principals it had. but it lacked
the courage of it's convictions.
Dominated largely by the South
ern wing. the despair Of defeat
crept in and spread throughout
it's ranks. until it sank into a !
moribound condition in which

to see it extineuished for lack Of |
support. It was unable at any
point to meet it's opponent, who,

conduct of a successful war, and !,

'Boo!" to see it stink from the
field. It was merely a party of
opposition. 1T was opposed 3 to
everything the Republicans fav-
ored, but had no plans of its
own. It opposed the protective
tariff but was afraid to declare
for free trade.
Gradually. however, the truth
is dawning upon the people that
we have an unfailing and ever in
creasing means of revenue in
land values. This light is not
breaking in on Democrats alone.
but on the Republicans, MANY Of
whom are now coming out boldly

cans as we'll as a large bodv Of

August 18th. 1912 rebuilt or not
It goes without saying that the
people of New iberia as we'll as
all of the farmers in this section
will lend every encouragement
necessary to induce these gentle
men to re-erect a mill in that vi
entity as early as possible. One

establishing their industry here is
an exemption from Parish taxes

pressed desire to remove the

out for labor alone, most of which
was spent in New iberia with our

will be to learn that these gentle

NEUTRAL NATIONS

Amsterdam, December 22.-The Han delsblad says that President Wilson's note canont be treated in a scoffing manner. because it is meant seriously and absolutely serious. President Will sons attitude is considered correct
 One paper states: Tn view of all that has happened since December (the date of the peace proposals of the cen tral powers) President Wilson could hardly have expected any other recep- ton from the English press than that which he received. We hope, however, that he will be able to weather this storm, and put his wishes into execu- ton"
 The Telegraaf says; "One need not immediately think the worst of Presi dent Wilson's intentions, but the form is clumsy. If this note had been drawn up by the German government itself it could hardly have shown greater lack of the most elementary conception of tact. For President Wilson there is not the slightest difference between Germany, which destroyed Belgium and England. which drew the sword to re- deem Belgium.
 Tt looks as if MT. Wilson, by his incomprehensible clumsiness, had spoiled the cause of peace for good"

RUSSIAN FRONT

Petrograd December 22.-(Via Lon don.)-(British Admiralty per Wire less Press )--Reporting military opera tions on the Russian and Galician bat tie fronts the Russian official state- ment issued today was:
 Western front: On the River Stok- hod, in the region of the village of Golenin, our scouts made a successful reconnaissance, capturing seven German guns.
 Yesterday one of our pilots, Second Cavalry Captain Kozakov, brought down an Austrian airplane which was observed above Lutsk. During the fall the pilot was thrown out. The ob server. who was wounded, was cap tured..
 North of the zolotchev-Tarnopol railway the enemy, after an intense artillery fire, attacked our attachments in the region of Zwisfln Notwithstand- ing our fire he occupied a portion of D demolished trench belonging to one of our companies. He was driven back by a counter attack launched by our com panies occupying adjacent positions.
 con the River Bystritza our artil- lery fire put to flight an enemy com pany which was approaching our pa trol guard in the region of the village of Krivitch Our artillery also dis persed an enemy column about two companies strong which was marching from the south towards the village of Chlebkov.

FL ARISH CAPTURED

London, December 22.-El Arish, 90 miles east of the Suez canal, was cap tured yesterday by the British.
 The British statement announcing the capture of Fl Arish says:
 ~"Yesterday the Egyption town of El Arish was occupied by our troops after being for two years in the hands of the enemy. From the fact that the enemy had constructed a very strong entrenched position covering F. Arish and that a large amount of work recently had been carried out there it appeared that the enemy had every intention of offering 8 stubborn resistance.
 "They abandoned their position on Tuesday night and retreated to the east and southeast. It is a serious blow to the Turks from a moral and a military point of view

CENTRAL POWERS

Berlin. December 22.-(Via London) The announcement of President Will sons peace endeavor, received through the Associated Press. was accorded a tremendous welcome in Berlin. The inn pression of official and newspaper cir oles appeared in the noon editions un- der large display headlines as the all important news of the Christmas sea son, reviving the interest of the Ger man peace overtures which had sunk 10 a low point under the influence of the preliminary declarations of statesmen of the entente powers.
 The American embassy. to which the ambassador. James W. Gerard, returned late last night from New York, the Associated Press correspondent and the American Charge Joseph c. Grew, were besieged by newspaper men who sought additional information concerning the Presidents peace. but nothing beyond the press dispatches could be given.

Though the news of the striking Of oil near Cordova gave Birmingham and Ala bama a thrill, it apparently did not af- feet James II. Gardner and J. l.. Head, two Oklahoma oil men, who arrived al Il o'clock last night from Tulsa to inc spect their properties.
 They talked nonchalantly about their prospective fortune; admitted that they knew virtually nothing about the matter. and seemed surprised that the striking Of 150-barrel day well had created such excitement. No plans for the fu- tGre have been formulated Mir. Gard Ter stated, and as yet no equipment or- dered. Today they will go to the site of their operations, If 1t is not too cold" as Mir. Gardner stipulated.
 T know nothing about the matter other than what I have read in the newspa- pers,' Mir. Gardner stated last night. Tn Oklahoma, where it is nothing rare to have d 10O0O-barrel a day well. such an event would not cause a ripple of ex- citement. l shall go to Cordoya tomor- row, if it is not too cold. Perhaps l shall have something to say after in- specting the well there.
 We have but one drilling crew in the Cordova section and have not arranged for any others. The crew that struck oil has not been in our employ for any ma terial length of time. and MT Mccain is d contract driller It is possible that we will drill other wells, but that will depend upon our inspection tomorrow.
 q really see no reason for excitement, for this well does not prove that there is an oil field and such wild reports as have been current would scare men who are in earnest about seeking invest ments."
 There were six in the party from Tulsa. Besides MT. Head and MT. Gardner were R. A. Griffith, C. H. Pope l.. c. Brush

 Ut is natural that the President should desire to know the purposes of the bel ligerents. Certainly this act will dis arrange the sly maneuver Germany is seeking to accomplish at this time Since the enemy has provoked peace efforts, 1t is right that he should explain clearly just what he wants and that he lay down his cards.

 Entente diplomats, while they appar- ently had decided to accept the Presi-
 dents attitude in good faith, had not wholly disposed of their fear that it
 might rebound to the advantage of their enemies.
 It was reiterated today in all official
 quarters that there was perfect under standing between Secretary Lansing and the President, and whatever might have appeared as discord in interpretation of the note to the bellgerents had been disposed of by the issue of the secre- tarys second statement and the steps to inform the foreign governments of the facts.
 The notes to the belligerents, Secretary
 Lansing's explanatory statements, and re- cent German submarine activities fur nished the chief topic of discussion at today's cabinet meeting. Later it was said that the discussion was directed to-
 wards no particular end, but merely brought forth the views of cabinet mem bers.
 After the cabinet meeting Secretary Lansing said that full information con corning the sinking of the British liner Arabia was not at hand. The American government is anxiously awaiting word from Berlin regarding the British horse ship Marina, which admittedly was sunk without warning by a German subma- rine. and which the state department has been convinced, was not transport. No course of action will be decided on until Germany has been heard from further 1 PRESIDENT CONGRATULATED It was learned the cabinet took a view 1 that the force of the note to the beliger- ents had not been materially changed by Secretary Lansing's explanation. It was read with the deepest interest by members of the cabinet Spokesmen for the ad- ministration thought that the unfavorable impression made at first in England would be changed when the note was examined carefully.
 Messages congratulating the President poured into the White House today in l increasing volume. Almost without ex-

 ton as peace move.
 Republican Leader Mann referred to
 the note on the floor of the House today and heartily praised President Wilson's 8
 action.
 Without regard to partisanship,' he
 said, T believe the whole people of the
 country warmly congratulate and com
 mend the President in every effort he has
 made or may make to restore peace in the world"
 It became known during the day that some members of the diplomatic corps are worried over their personal status with their home governments whom they have been informing for weeks past that the United States would take no action in the European situation With the arrival of tile German proposals and the announced decision of this government not to add any word of it's own, most diplomats be- came finally convinced, and so reported to their governments, that no step toward peace would be taken here unless de- cided change occurred.
