Editor Brooklyn Daily Eagle: Your

task for his ION the verge of war, which
he afterward retracted, were justly call
ed for. But now the cat is out of the
bag. Germany evidently has ag ain snap
ped the whip in Mr.. Wilson's face, prob
ably on the submarine question. The
Presidents cold and selfish note is the
result. See how it has been received in
Berlin and Vienna, with rejoicing; how
Hall Game answers it from England with
sorrow. How selfish Mr.. Wilson must
seem to the Allies, who are suffering
such untold slaughter, when he writes
about our neutrality, alongside of their
frightfu woes!
Prussian domination feeds on slavery.
We see actual slavery for Belgians, but
q touch of it already extends around the
world. We have felt it. Mr.. Wilson
tries to keep it to himself, but it is the
crack of the slaver's whip that prevents
this Administration from showing its
hand We are not on the verge of war
now any more than we have been. When
Carranza can outbluff this Administra-
ton, the crack of the slaver's whip can
only cause another note of humiliation.
Mr.. Wilson's note has caused rejoicing
in Berlin: Count Won Bernstorf shows
his satisfaction. Now, he says, we can
have a conference. A conference with

Dispute Presidents Right to "Abando On
Our Historic Policy of Isolation"

WASHINGTON, Dec. Is. Further indi-
cation that President Wilson's peace note
insofar as it foreshadoWs the entrance
of the United States into an internatlonal
league to enforce peace, will be the sub
ject of sharp controversy in Congress,
came today, when Congressman John j.
Rogers of Massachusetts, Republican
member of the House Committee on
Foreign Affairs, addressed letter to
Mr.. Lansing, Secretary of State, de-
manding that he answer certain ques-
lions as to the intentions of the Admin
istration in this regard.
Mr.. Rogers does not believe that Presi-
dent Wilson has the right without the
consent of Congress to overturn the
traditional policy of isolation which this
country has maintained since the days of
George Washington, especially when the
membership in a league to enforce peace
will make necessary the maintenance of
a sufficient military and naval establish
ment to do the "enforcing.'
Mr.. Rogers view is exactly that which
was stated in the special despatch from
Washington this morning, as embodying
thesgeneral opinion of members of Con-
gress who have studied Mr.. Wilson s
peace note. Mr.. Rogers said in an inter-
view today:
"Mr Wilson, apparently, without real
iZation of what he was doing, has made
an epoch making announcement, the
purpose of which is to sweep away the
foundation on which American inter-
national relations rest
Here is the text of Mr.. Rogers letter
to Secretary Lansing:
''ln statement given to the press on
Saturday last and described as 8 official, ;
the view is set forth that the President
has the power to commit this country to
the abandonment of our historic policy
of isolation from entangling alliances
without asking the consent of anyone,
even of the Senate. The statement
further indicates, however, that the
Presidents present plans contemplate
treaty alliances with Foreign Nations
and that these treaties would require the
consent of the Senate.
''As aimember of the Committee on
Foreign Affairs of the House of Repre-
sentatives beg to PROFOUND to you the
following query:
Does the Administration hold that by
treaty or otherwise, without the consent
OF the Congress, it has the power to COM
NIT the United States to membership in
an armed international league to enforce
peace?
AS representative in Congress of a
great industrial community | would
further ask: Does the Administration
hold that by treaty or otherwise without
the consent of the Congress it has the
power to commit the United States to
membership in an armed international
league to enforce peace under an agree
ment which would require US to arbtrate
before foreign tribunal our right to ex-
clude Chinese or japanese cheap labor?' -

Law Concerning the Operating ans

Highways in This State.

It is all very well to crafty our
chiidren and even take pride in
saair accom- pIishments, but there are
entirely too many serious accidents,
Involving even loss OF life. The fol-
lowing section 13 is taken from chap
te- 107, Public Laws 1913, and should
Dc obeyed by all:
Section 13. That no person shall
oreca-4 a motor vehicle upon the pub
lie highways OF this State who is IN
der the age Of sixteen years, and no
person shall operate a motor vehicle
when intoxicated, Or in a race, or on
4 bet or wager. or for the purpose Of
making a record: Provided, nothing
herein contained shall prevent racing
on private race courses or tracks.
The she-iffs and police officers are
specially charged with its enforce
nent. Is it enforced? II not, why
not?

DETAIL RATES.

The law now requires that when.
ever any property in the State is rated
that detail rating shall be furnished
to the owner or his manager showing
the basis rate, the Deficiencies charg-
ed for, the credits given and the rate
made. This enables the citizen to see
what it is that makes up the rate on
his property, and in many cases he can
have the rate reduced by making cor
rect1on of deficiencies. Many agents
In the State say that the people are
paying very little attention to these
detail ratings even when they are
given to them. trust that this is not
the case. The agent is also required
to stamp upon the back of each policy
the synopsis of the rate, showing the
basis, total deficiencies, total credits
and rate. Every citizen of the State
is urged to examine his policy, see
what he is charged for deficiencies
and find out if he cannot have these
deficiencies removed
