WHY HUGHES is NEEDED IN

futiffty in action; against his
record of words unbacked by
deeds or betrayed by deeds, we
set Mr.. Hughes rugged and I'M
compromising straightforward
ness of character and action in
every office he has held We put
the man who thinks and speaks
directly, and whose words have
always been made good. against
the man whose adroit and facile
elecution is used to conceal his
plans or his want of plans The
next four years may well be
years of tremendous national
strain. Which of the two men
do you, the American people,
wish at the helm during those
four years; the man who has
been actually tried and found
wanting, or the man whose
whole career In public Office is
a guarantee of his power and

possible; and it must be given by
the American people throughout
the United States.-From speech

American people in 1850; what

the stern enthusiasm of strong
men for the right On the con-

eIocutionary device to luii to

Of the association, who believe
that lines. drapes and designs are
more desirable than shocks. Tho

flaring skirt. The clinging
straight lined garment will be
worn by women this spring.
The regular sessions of the
convention will begin at the Ho-
tel LaSalle tomorrow. In con-
nection there will be an exhibit

CANADIAN TORPEDO
BOAT THOUGHT LOST
NOW SAFE IN PORT

Halifax, y. s., Dec. 15.-The Can

American yacht Winchester. which was
believed to have been lost with Ill
hands off the coast in the storm Tues
day night, came into the harbor of
Shelbourne, 160 miles southeast Of

Six members of the crew perished Ill

injured. The remainder. including all
the officers. were reported safe.
The Grilse left Halifax last Monday
for Bermuda. Tuesday night while she
was still off this coast, a wireless mes
sage announcing that she was in a
sinking condition was picked up. Al
though several ships put ut to her as
sistance, no trace of her was discover
ed. and damage to her wireless outfit
prevented her from sending any mes-
sages fer the distres calls.

Chicago, Deo. 16-Wheat crashed
down in value today on account Of

fall in some cases Of ssa cents BUSH

as much as 8 cents at tho same instant
in different parts Of the pit.
Tho opening range for May, the chief
trading option, spread all the way
from S1.58 to $1.63. Tho waves Of sell
Ing were accompanied by exciting
breaks In values.
SYMPATHY WITH STOCKS.
Besides the German embassy state
mont referring to limitation Of arua-
ment, the smash In wheat prices was
due largely to yesterdays and this
mornings breaks in the New York
stock market. Yesterdays big decline
in New York came too late to havs
much influence here until today.
The decline at the outset today oar

TO MOVE CAUTIOUSLY.

TO MOVE CAUTIOUSLY.
No formal comment was forthcoming
today. either from the White House

to be the belief of most Of the cabinet
members that the American govern
ment should move cautiously and do
nothing to imperil It's influence for
peace.
President Wilson Is known to attach
great Importance to the possibility of
establishing an association Of nations
to maintain peace. He outlined in def
mite terms the procedure he would
take In initiating a peace movement in
the course Of a speech he delivered here
last May before the League to En-
force Peace.

DISARMAMENT PROPOSED.
The German embassy last night au-
thorized the statement that 1t was
certain, should representatives of the
belligerents meet to discuss peace
terms, that one of the most important
subjects for discussion would be that
of limited universal disarmament The
German view is said to be that any
peace would be worthless which did
not make unnecessary armament on 0
scale approaching that which existed
before the war.
1t was suggested that actual forma-
ton, a shas been proposed In some
nations of leagues to enforce peace
necessarily would have the effect tc
bring about a limited disarmament
| The German chancellor has said Ger
many would be glad to enter a league
to prevent war.
The German view further is indicat-
ed as being generally opposed to in
ternational coalitions as they have ex-
listed in the past on the ground that
such coalitions are opposed to the
maintenance of peace rather than con-
ducive of it.

with that grim, vehement, war minded

THE heart and kernel of the Lloyd
George ministry will be war council :
a compact committee of public safety.
This will be way of giving the public
what It wants-for you nave got to bear
in mind that Northcliffe's strength lies
in the fact that he is canalizing the

rouse the courage of democracy-the

land. What he is doing now is only the
