Letter M-Timed, Opinion
of Official Washington
BY Associated Press

Washington, Dec. 1.-"Lord Lans-
downe said the right thing at the
wrong time" That in a sentence is
the attitude of the portion of official
Washington which concerns itself
with foreign affairs toward the start
ling utterance of the distinguished
Tory statesman. American officials
have only praise for the substance of
Lord Lansdowne's proposal, but they
consider the moment at which he
launched his demand for n restate-
ment of peace terms ill chosen.
They agree that it would have been
admirable politics for the allies to
have taken that stand some time dur
ing the last summer, before the Ital-
ian debacle and the Russian dissolu-
ton. They agree that as soon as an
allied success puts a period to the
present run of German victory a
statement along these lines should be
made. But they insist that at the
present moment a statement by the
allies along the lines proposed would
not be IAN immense stimulus
to the peace party in Germany" but
on the contrary would merely furnish
the jingoes and pan-Germans with
material for argument that England
is exhausted and ready to quit.
To avoid just the appearance Of
war WEAKNESS which Lord Lans-
downe's statement produces, the
State Department has consistently in
sisted that the Paris conference was
to be solely a war conference and was
not to concern itself with peace
terms. Nevertheless, it has been per-
fectly well understood among the
diplomats that Colonel House would
unofficially discuss war aims and
peace terms with the representatives
of England, France, Italy and Russia
and that an agreement might be
reached for a complete restatement
of the allies war aims along liberal
lines.

Never yet has tobacco been so

Tobacco, and yet more tobacco for

Upon the people at home, is one
of the real factors in winning the
war. Striking evidence of this fact
is furnished in the latest book by the
author of MY Home in the Field
of Honor" The volume. my Home
in the Field of Mercy" by Frances
Wilson Huard, just issued by George
II. Doran Company, is the story of
the work of relief and mercy being
conducted by the author at her
chateau at Villiers-the famous
Home in the Field of Honor" now
a hospital for wounded French SOL
+diers. And one of the most tense
ana thrilling chapters of this book
recOunts how the author made her
first visit to the battle front, spent
a wild night through rain and shells,
and Put up at an underground cafe,
in order to obtain a supply of to-
bacco abandoned near the first lines,
and to carry 1t back to the soldiers

longer any doubt as to his recovery

would begin its deliberations at
about o'clock this evening.
Mrs. De Saulles smiled with a ges-
ture indicating relief when at 11.36
this morning both sides announced
I'VE rest"
The specialists answers to the
hypothetical question submitted to-
day contradicted the opinion of three
other eminent medical men who yes
terday made reply to another type
written interrogation of the same
kind.
Those on the stand yesterday said
they believed Mrs. De Saulles was
mentally deranged at the time Of
the shooting.
Through Mrs. Anna Mooney. a
nurse once employed by Mr.. and
Mrs. De Saulles, the prosecution to-
day introduced testimony which con-
tradicted Mrs. De Saulles' story of
indifferent neglect" on the part Of
her husband during their married
life.
Walter r. Jones. justice of the
peace. who presided at Mrs. De
Saulles preliminary hearing, was
the first witness recalled to the stand
day.
Attorney Weeks drew from Jones
statement that his observations of
Mrs. De saulles following the shoot
ing gave him that impression she
was rational.
In answer to question from At
torney Uterhart, however. Jones
added her calm manner, despite the
unusual circumstances" surprised
him.
George II. Hoffman,. keeper Of
the Mineola jail, reiterated Jones
opinion regarding Mrs. De Saulles'
sanity of action and conversation

presentation to King George and
Queen Mary during a visit to Eng.

which the defendant took while
there. numerous shopping excur-
sions on which the witness said her
mistress bought extravagantly and
other details of the De Saulles' lux
urious mode of life during the time
she was employed by the family
were related.
Mrs. Mooney according to wit
nesses who have testified in behalf OF
the defense. was the nurse retained
| by De Saulles through whom he
is alleged to have tried to ALLEVIATE
his sons affection for his mother.
Regarding the automobile acci-
dent during a visit to Chile in which
Mrs. De Saulles claims she sustained
severe injuries to her head, Mrs.
| Mooney said a doctor took three
stitches in Mrs. De Saulles' chin
following the accident and that her
mistress attended a concert the same
night the accident occurred.
The defense maintains Mrs. De
Saulles was confined to bed for sew
eral days following the mishap.

 The mighty speed attained by Vail and Mulford in their tryouts at Union- town brought many to the oval, and the sport that has fascinated and thrilled hundreds of thousands started a great desire in Spectator Stickel to own one of these Hudsons. He sought out the Hudson racing team, but there were no cars for sale. Then he made a plea for the Hudson agency at Con- nelsville, where many cars were owned but few Hudsons. In less than two months he had sold fourteen Hudsons.
 He managed to secure the remodeled stock Super-Six that Ira Vail had driv- en last year, entered it and won some prize money.

FORMERLY BITTER
 ENEMIES NOW ARE
 WORKING TOGETHER

The old epigram, Truth is stranger than fiction,' received new affirma- tion last week when fate brought together again. at the plant of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, at Akron, Ohio, two men who on the murderous afternoon of April 21, 1914, laced each other in deadly battle at Vera Cruz, when the Mexican Naval Academy there was stormed by Admiral F'letcher's trusty marines, according to information received by Manager D. W. Sanford, of the local Goodyear branch.
 One of the determined Americans to advance, inch by inch, in the deadly charge on the academy, in the face of terrific machine gun fire, was Will liam Dearborn, now drill master for the Goodyear and soon to leave for service with our forces in France.
 And one of the defenders of the Mexican academy. on that fateful af- ternoon, who braveIy but hopelessIy endeavored to beat off the Americans with machine gun fire, was George Castillo. now a tire builder in the big Goodyear factory. High up in the besieged building he stood with hot rifle in his grasp, picking off the ma rines as fast as they showed them selves.
 These two men met the other day as friendly members of that con- pany's big family of workers. And they told different tales of the battle because they saw it differently.
 Dearborn's story ran like this: "We landed 800 strong and soon discov- cred that the Mexican guns were trained on the municipal dock. Sc the boats of our ship, Florida, swerved around and landed us on the bare beach. This trick completely deceived the Mexicans, and before they could shift their guns into place to beal on us, we had signalled the U. S cruiser, Salem, to fire on them.
 Under cover of the Salem's gun. we advanced slowly under a steady razing fire, and in an hour were ir possession of the building-what was left of it,---Qf- the 200 Mexican de.
