BERLIN TO TELL
TERMS OF PEACE
GeEman Diplomats Expect
Announcement; Wilson's
Action Undecided
LFron The rnenn. Bureaul

Washington. Jan. 13.-President Will
son hates to admit that the door to
peace, for the present at least, has been
closed and locked. 1t was slammed by
the Entente, Mr.. Wilson was. told by
one of his closest friends, and Ger
many's fingers were caught in the slam
ming
The Administration continues in a
decidedly uncertain frame of mind. The
next step, if any at all is taken, hardly
can fail to be considered as a continue
tion = ,he effort TO reinforce the Ger
man peace drive. II the President takes
advice that has been offered 70 him, he
will do no more, for many months TO
come, than to transmit 10 Germany the
note Of the Entente, and to the Entente
the curt communication from the i'm
perisl German government merely reit-
Grating a demand for a conference.
Nav Ask German Terms
There are many we'll informed men
in official life who believe that Mr.. Will
son in transmitting the note OF the
Entente to Germany will make a state
ment himself suggesting or perhaps
urging that Germany state her terms
as concretely as did the Allies. But il
ne does that, others argue, there is no
reason why in transmitting the note OF
the German government to the Entente
he should not urge conference which
Germany wants. Even Mr.. Wilson, in
the face of the outSpoken note from the
Entente. hardly would do that.
Stories which emanate from hign
German quarters tonight are 20 the
effect that a statement OF terms is to
be expected from Berlin. That would
come as supplementary answer 10
the Presidents note.
The German Ambassador here has
which his government sent in reply 10
Mr. Wilson's request that "soundings'
be taken was highly unsatisfactory
The American Ambassador in Berlin
doubtless has conveyed the same i'm
preston to the Foreign Office there.
Allies Will Not Answer
That President Wilson will do any
thing more at this time is decidedly
unlikely that is to say, that he will
not attempt TO initiate any proceed
ings. It is quite likely that the two
notes will be transmitted respectively
to the belligerent governments as q
matter Of courtesy. It may be stated
positively that nothing more than a
formal acknowledgment will come from
the Allies. The German government
may seize the occasion for a retort
The outstanding fact, already accepted
everywhere IN Washington except the
White House, is that the war will &c
on until the present war map is very
effectively changed.
Stories of all sorts are pouring from
German quarters. stories calculated 70
convince the American people that the
coalition hghting Germany is about "a
break up. The old story that 4 sepa.
rate peace is about 10 be concluded
with Russia has popped up again. There
is equally good reason for saying that
a separate peace is about 70 be con
cluded with Austria or Turkey.

CHURCHILL CALLS
CULTURE "STUFF''
EX-PreSident Of Board Of
Education Prefers Soup
Plates to Vases

After four college presidents had eX.
pressed their views at the Republican
Club yesterday on the "upbuilding Of
character as opposed to training for
efficiency" in their curricula, Thomas
W. Churchill, former President of the
Board of Education, told the members
he was opposed TO any education that
hsrked back TO cultural past" or
allowed its weather vane TO be blown
By the breezes from antiquity"
"This old cultural stuff is not going
TO help any mothers son make liv-
ing" he said. What we need most in
America to-day is an appetite for
things that are gustable. It's the little
city with the big spirit that wins. The
great failure of democracy is the big
city. We are not great because we are
TOO fat. We have plenty Of money, but
not sufficient or proper school build
ings 10 house our children. If these
colleges are such wonderful contriv-
ances. why is democracy so far below
par?
Prefers Soup Plate TO Vase
Il am not in sympathy with the
views OF college professors intrenched
IN the marble halls Of colleges endowed
By some rich benefactor. Until recent
ly they have paid too much attention
20 the white shirt front and stsrched
collar and ignored overalls, and they
found their graduates starved 10 death
Culture is good thing, but it can be
picked up in spare moments where the
need may be- ! admire your pretty
vase. but my youngster needs soup
plate. The man who stands on the
corner and spouts Latin may get rep
utation for being erudite, but ne won't
bring much OF salary home to ms
wife on Saturday night
All of the speakers took Aing at the
ambiguity OF the question for discus
sion. although officials of the club SAID
that il had been approved by DR.. Nicho-
las Murray Butler president Of Colum
bia. as we'll az the speakers themselves
The question was: "Shall the Ideals OF
Education Heretofore Held in Our
Schools and Colleges, That Of 'Upbuild-
ing Of Character Be Changed to Train
ing Of Highest Efficiency"
Mr.. Churchill said that he was not
surprised at the "dubiousness" OF the
question. as it had been proposed by
one college president, and that disagree
ment of other college presidents was to
be expected.
End, Not Means. Important

ems Institute of Technology; Arthur d.

state of New York. and DR.. Sidney r.

Alexander T. Meikeliohn. president OF

observing:
"Any one who says the means and not

tion OF the means employed, Is the
whole thing, is a plain, stupid fool

London, Jan. 13.-The readiness OF

tum probably is due to the failure OF
the Kaiser to give him assurances OF

Undoubtedly Emperor William told
his brother-in-law that he could not

DRAMA WINS FROM

have there been so many hgh-grads plays

comedy as well az TO drama.

vanish from the face OF the earth. In New

WHAT MAKES YOU
FEEL FAIR AND
WARMER

Since the coming Of "Fair and Warmer"
10 the Garrck IL has occurred to many
hotels and restaurants In central Phiadtl-
phia to place on their wine lists the Fair
and Warmer cocktail. There was a lack
OF unanimity. however, on their part az to
Just how Fair and Warmer" should be
made, and thia induced the managers Of the
play to correct this sad state Of affairs.
When Fair and Warmer" was running In
New York city one Of the Broadway restau-
rants made n speciality Of Fair and
Warmer" cocktail, 20 the formula was got
from him and lot ~ small cards were
printed with this recipe for distribution
among hotels and restaurants.
At present the Garrlck II used every day
nj noon for religious services. and by some
unknown means quantity Of these cards
became mixed up with the hymn books and
some Of them were distributed before ths
horrible mistake was discovered. However,
that isn't the point of this story. and what
is here desired TO be conveyed fs how the
cocktail should be concoctcd. Tho one that
"Billy" Bartlett and "Blanny" Wheeler
make on the stage would. except to a man
OF the strongest constitution. be almost
fatal. II will be remembered by those who
have seen the play that these two innoccnts
re supposed never 10 have had drink be-
fore In their lives, and they make the drink
"entirely by ear" "Blanny's" and "Biliy's"
recipe has been printed here before.
For real drinking purposes, says the press
agent the official recipe IL IA follows:
One-half white OF ono egg
Two dashes curacao
Two-thirds jgger OF whisky.
One-half pony grenadine.
F'rappe with cracked ice and strain.
