out came from the Associated Press
correspondent at the White House
on the afternoon of December 20, He
told me when | returned from lunch
that the note had been given out.
asked him what note and he said the
peace note"
Opinion Would Be Speculative.
"Have you any information. as to
how the leak occurred" Mr.. Camp
bell asked.
81 have not" Mr.. Tumulty replied,
"Any opinion | might have would be
speculative and would involve repu-
tations. ! am very careful about max
ing statements IN such circumstances.
Representative Chiperheld asked
Secretary Tumulty if he knew that
Alfred H. Curtis, 1875 West Seventy
ninth street, New York, former presi-
dent of the National Bank of North
America, was in fact the A. Curtis
who wrote the letter. Mr.. Tumulty
said he did not.
Mr.. Tumulty added he did pot think
the leak could have occurred on the
note through any employe of the ex-
ecutive office. He then read letter
from L. T. Russell, editor OF the
Newark Morning Ledger, referring to
the mysterious A. Curtis, who wrote
Representative Wood, author OF the
investigating resolution:
made considerable inquiry, but
could never identity or locate Mr.,
Curtis"
Representative Campbell asked
Mr.. Tumulty if he knew that Mr.,
Wood asked for an executive session
to make his statement bringing in
Mr.. Tumulty's name last week
Not Talking About Wood,
81 wish you wouldn't ask me any
thing about Mr.. Wood" replied Mr..
Tumulty. 81 would be ashamed to
be party to anything that would
blemish the reputation of public
man on mere letter written by a
man named Curtis. II | were guilty
of such thing would not be fit to
hold the smallest public Office"
Representative Lenroot, republican
asked Secretary Tumulty how the
president sent the peace note to Sec
rotary Lansing. Mr.. Tumulty said it
was transmitted in sealed envelope
by private messenger.
"Do you know" asked Representa-
tive Chiperheld, that Alfred Fl. Cur
It's was president of the National
Bank of North America, with which
Charles w. Morse and others were
associated@
II do not" said Mr.. Tumulty.
Curtis to Be Called.
The committee at that point de-
cided to subpoena Alfred H. Curtis.
"You are we'll acquainted with Ber-
nard Baruch?" resumed Mr.. Clipper
field
Eyes, sir"
when did you last see him?'
AT the Gridiron dinner in Wash
ington, December g."
did you come closely in contact
with him there?"
II sat about five seats away from
him and exchanged greetings with
him."
did you have any private CONVEX
sation with him?"
None at all"
Mr.. Chiperheld then said there
were things not mentioned in Mr.
Tumulty's letter which he wished to
question him about
go as far as you like said Mr.
Tumulty.
DO You know J. B. Reagan, pro
prietor of the Knickerbocker hote
in New York;"
81 do not"
Asked if he ever had any business

 Desire to be present at the or ganizatioR of the home guard, the for which he had Loyalty supported, caused his return. He was one of the speakers last night at the patriotic rally in Elks hall and was also one of those who signed the roll of the home guard company.
 Dr. Keller came up from Haines on the quartermaster's harbor boat Peterson, in company with MajoF M. E. Sayille, commandant at Fort William H. Seward and other officers from the post,

NOVEL MAHY YEARS AGO
 PREDICTED A WORLD WAR
Old World May Be So Depopu. lated and Impoverished That
 It VIII Never Recover.

Basel. Switzerland. - Nearly thirty years ago, in 1SSS, a novel was pub lishel in Leipzig uraer the title Sur ya." In thiS hUuk Uhc following rrophe- cies appear:
 Tn 1904 the first clash between west ern and eastern countries will take place.
 "n 1912 tn. Balkans will be drencheG with blood and the corTses of hundreds of thousands or slain men will cover the battlotielGS. From this bloody Strug- gle the most fearful war of all history will develop. The entire civilized world and even savage tribes will be drawn into the horrible cou1agration, which will turn gil Europe into a bowling wilderness !I liree years. The war will continue until all of the beiligerents are exhausted and the armies in the ield rebel against the awful slaughter. It will end with a general uprising of the masses. The revolution will start in one of the largest countries engaged in the war and bring horrors which may make those of the French revolu- tion appear like child's play. Within a few months the revolution will spread over all Europe, and when it ends the old world will be depopulated and so impoverished that it may never be able to recover"
 The first two of these prophecies have come true, and the third one is partly fulfilled. In 1904 the war be- tween Russian and Japan started, and 1912 brought the first Balkan war, which was followed at once by the sec ond. From these struggles the present horrible world war developed. Almost the entire world is fighting. Revolution has overturned the government of Rus sia. Will the general revolution, the horrid climax predicted by the writer, also come2

force," Major Saville continued, you must have home guards for community protection. Twenty mil lion people are now under arms in Europe. The United States, un- der the cOnscriptiop bill just pass ed, plans 10 raise two million men. Alaska is expected to form 8 regi- ment and some of the recruits will come from here.
 Organize, therefore, your home guard and put your strongest men in charge. I will send up man from the post to drill your com pany."
 Major Saville talked as if he were sitting opposite you at a table, dis cussing business affairs. It was straight from-the-shoulder summary of the situation and when he con cluded the audience enthusiastical- ly applauded.
 Military Government
 Andrew Stevenson, president of the Bank of Alaska, spoke of the war as being not against the Ger man people but against their mili- tary form of government.
 Tt is time for serious think ing" he said. We have duties to perform and it is certain that every man of skagway, whether at the front CT at home, will do that duty and uphold the honor of his city and country"
 Patriotic Spirit
 Dr. L. s. Keller, publisher of the Daily Alaskan. was the last speaker,
 "The patriotic spirit displayed here tonight" he said, should make us all proud that we are Am ericans and citizens of Skagway."

of Fort William II. Seward, the principal speaker at the rally, de- clared that the present war is ito determine whether democracy shall be extended or destroyed"
 To Elect Officers
 Following the signing of the ToI for the home guard, it was announced that organization would be effected at once. A meeting was today scheduled for tomorrow night at which officers will be elected. An officer will be sent here from Fort William H. Sew ard to drill the guards. He is eX- pected to attend the first meeting.
 Held under the auspices of the EIks, and with the Eagles and members of the Arctic Brotherhood cooperating, the patriotic rally drew practically the entire citizen ship of Skagway. The school chil- dreu, who had marched in a body from the school, occupied a big block of seats where they waved Ehe flags provided them by the Elks and heartily did their bit by singing America, the Star SDangled Banner and other national airs.
 The Skagway band also did its bis and when the notes of the country's hymns and patriotic airs filled the flag-decorated hall, one could feel that the spirit of '76 was still alive.
 To Protect Community
 Mayor Howard Ashley, who head ed the committee which arranged for the rally, was chairman of the meeting. After the meeting had been opened with prayer by the Rev. L. H. Pedersen, Mayor Ashley briefly explained the purpose of the rally and of the proposed home guard.
 "Ihe home guard" he said, "is intended for protection of the com munity in case of any emergency In war time. No one questions the patriotism or loyalty of Alaskans or the citizens of Skagway. If the need for action arises, they will do their duty. But We can better do the service that may be required of us If we are organized"
 War For Democracy
 Major Saville was then intro duced. He reviewed, briefly but succinctly, the history of world conquerors and of world govern- ments and then declared that the present war, no matter for what purpose started, commercial or otherwise, is now a struggle to de- termine whether democracy shall be extended or shall be destroyed.
 Different duties that confront Americans in this war crisis were pointed out. Those who stay at home, said Major Sayille, have du- ties to perform just as great as those who go to the front. He urged every citizen, who has avail able ground, to plant potatoes and other vegetables to help insure the nations food supply.
