the inevitable day of German assault.
The United States, which has never
heretofore maintained an army OF any
size. would have to maintain as
part OF it's permanent organization
a vast army, capable of meeting any
other vast army. II would have to
enter into alliances with other ma
lions as means of protecting itself
AGAINST other alliances. The Prussian
peace would thus fasten upon us, and
upon all other nations, military bur-
den as great as that which the war
has forced upon them.
If. instead OF premature peace
upon terms dictated by Prussia, we
wait for the peace which will be pos.
sible upon our own terms, and those
of our allies. when Prussia is obliged
TO acknowledge defeat and to surren-
der. we shall be in a position to throw
off the military burden which would
crush us to the ground. We shall be
able to deny Prussia the right to
maintain a presence to the common
veal of the nations, and in so doing
assure our own safety and freedom to
live Progressive disarmament is on
~ possible when Prussian militarism
shall have been destroyed.
Stripped OF all DISCUSSES and sub
tleties, the Prusslan plan is a peace
which will restore the status quo
ante Everything is to be as it was
in the days before Prussia made war
upon civilization--in outward appear
ance. that is Essentially, things
would be very different. Germany
would be advanced long way toward
he realization of the cherished am
Dition of world domination Having

is weather-beaten signboard indeed.
The man who marries his divorced
wife certainly displays the courage of
his convictions.
When fellow swcnrs. that he would
die fe;' her he usually means that he
would die of ola age.
That back-to-the-farm longing al
ways seems more intense after the
crops have all been harvested.
The idiot who imagines that he can
understand the woman who keeps her
husband guessing is in for IL jolt.

Senate Votes $4,000 For
Inauguration After Hotels
Are Scored For High Rates

Washington. D. c., Jan. 26.-The
Senate voted favorably to-day on the
$4,000 appropriation to pay for the
Inauguration expenses at the Capitol,
but not until there had been some
lively talk about how Washington hotel
keepers rob" visitors and some OBJ
servations that the inaugural cere-
monies have come to resemble a coro-
nation pageant.
When Senator Overman brought the
resolution from the appropriations
committee Senator McCumber, Repub-
iican, suggested that it should include
provisions to prevent hotel keepers
from raising their rates. lie said he
had been informed by one hotel that
a room for Inauguration week would
cost 5000.
Senator Thomas. Democrat. ex-
pressed himself in accord with SEN
ators McCumber and Works and de-
clared: "Old Spanish buccaneers who
sailed the Spanish Main flying the
black flag of piracy and taking their
lives in their hands to rob merchant
ships must turn over in their graves
when they see the lavish successes of
modern hotel proprietors on occa-
sions of this kind and the immunity
from punishment they enjoy in prose-
cutting their business of plunder."

PRESIDENT PLANS
NEXT PEACE STEP
AFTER NEW DRIVE
Washington Believes Ground
Work Has Been Laid For
Constructive Effort

Washington, d. C., Jan. 26.-It is
the official sentiment of Washington
that a great spring offensive will prove
to be the turning point in international
peace maneuvers.
The President and his very few close
advisers, who are conferring with him
on all his moves toward peace, still re-
main as secretive as ever, but in the
minds of other high officials who know
the minds of these few the belief is
that the President himself believes one
more great effort will be made by one
or both sides before the actual step
toward a real peace goal is first taken.
And, regardless of responses-direct
or otherwise-from belligerent govern
ments on President Wilson'S remark
able address to the Senate Monday,
many diplomats here agree in the be-
lief that the goal of peace will not be
in sight until after the gigantic effort
sure to come in the spring.
They say news from the front shows
preliminary plans for such drive
now are in full sway.
Within six weeks all details for this
campaign will be completed.
Belief is firm here that entente ma

Expect American Capital
to Invest in Plan to Build
Hotel Chain in War Areas

New York. Jan. &c. - In anticipa-
ton that after the war ends there
will be an enormous influx of tourists
to France to visit the invaded dis
tricts and scenic points, beside those
who so there as representatives OF
foreign industrial and commercial
houses, plans are being made to spend
S100. 900 in the construction and
enlargement of hotels. This is set
forth in the fourth instalment, made
public to-day, of the report of the
American industrial commission sent
to France by the American Manufac-
turers Export Association.
A campaign OF publicity has been
begun through various national bodies,
supported by the French government,
1t is claimed, to acquaint the world
with the movement to inaugurate a
first class hotel system in France and
to invite capital to take part in it.
The hope has been repeatedly express
ed, says the report, that a consider
able proportion of this capital might
come from America.

In lime of War, Threatened

Washington. Jan. 26. Railroad
strikes and lockouts are not forbid

plant the Adamson law which the Sen
ate Interstate Commerce committee
virtually had completed to-day. Pres
ident Wilson had suggested that a
provision be included to prevent
strikes or lockou's pending investiga-

The new bill, however, would make
NJ criminal offense, punishable by
heavy fine for a railroad employe who
mas quit work to trespass on railroad
property with view to preventing by
violence, intimation or threats the
operations of trains.
Another important provision of the
plil would authorize the President to
take over and operate such part Of
railroad or its equipment as is neces
sary to move troops or munitions i'm

ton.
