DABS YELLOW PAINT
 ON PEACE OFFICES

Washington, April 3.-A national guardsman of the Third District of Columbia infantry, backed by party of citizens, covered the front of the headquarters of the Emergency Peace Federation here with coat of yellow paint today, while another party of citizens destroyed pacifist banners and literature inside.
 Pacifist delegations here today turned their energies toward trying to persuade senators and representa- lives from voting for the state of war resolution asked by President Wilson. They also began a campaign appar- ently designed to prevent enlistment in the army and navy. Petitions were circulated by persons calling them selves representatives of no-enlist- ment league. The signers pledged themselves not to enlist.

Rich Man Knows Not What He Wants

Riel, Man Knows Not What He Wants
 The Woman's Home Companion has an article in which this passage oc- CUTS: "The nuisance for the man who has acquired great financial resources usually Is that he doesn't know what he wants. Possessing the resources and feeling the moral necessity to have recourse to them, he looks about for something to want, and he selects the most costly thing. The acquisi- tion of this most costly thing always involves, in practice, the separation of the rich man from society. Thus, he will acquire large estate, or sev- eral large estates, and cut himself of from the world by gates, doors, miles of drive, lodgekeepers. menials and secretaries. Or he will acquire g. 000-ton yacht and cross the Atlantic privately, though less quickly, less comfortably and even less privately than on great liner. Or he will keep private orchestra, instead of being seen at concerts. All which, though magnificent, Is antisocial and silly, and Is secretly felt to be so by the rich man when he happens to wake up in the middle of the night and can't go to sleep again."

Buenos Aires Newspapers.


 The cosmopolitantsm of Buenos Aires is we'll exemplified by its press. The dailies number almost 50, embrac- Ing ail shades of thought and lan- guage--English, French, Italian, Swiss Spanish, Turkish (mostly Syrian), Is- raelitish and German. The leading pa- pers are La Prenza and La Nacion (Argentine). the Herald and Standard (British). AS we'll as the dailies we have the choice of about POO weekly, monthly and occasional publications. One of the cleverest of the weeklies Is published by Emir Arslan, formerly Turkish consul here, who shortly after the alliance between Germany and Turkey was discharged for refusing to hand over the consulate and its con- tents to the German agent.

Just what form these plans will take will depend upon the action of the convention. The sessions will be executive.

 The sharp focusing of attention the world by the presi- lent's address on theSpresent auto .racy of Germany,.1s expected to make as aE,Aee preliminary. The British and <kFr94ch, even before the .errihle Iias,Eation of Northern France, F- Nready many times, in high quarters. demanded actual capi- tai punishment for a few leading statesmen in Germany to whom the war is attributed. The, attitude of the United States toward those officials while not so bitter, will, nevertheless, tend to increase that feeling. It is very probable, therefore, that a gen. cral condition of peace will be some very decided action toward the autocracy.
 While the Austrian, Bulgarian and Turkish situation remains just as it was for the present, so far as this country is concerned, it is probable Germany will force those nations to her side. Austria, Bulgaria and Fur key all are known to be ready for peace negotiation on very reasonable terms.
 Count Tarnowski, who President Wilson said could not be received as Austrian ambassador now, is expected to ask for his safe conduct home Officials had hoped to avoid break with Austria, and have postponed it as long as possible. Just after the receipt of the Austrian note affirming Germany's decree, Count Tarnowsk1 was told that he could not present his credentials, and it is thought to be as result of this that Ambassador Penfield has been summoned homo from the American embassy in Vienna Full diplomatic relationship would be and under such conditions, non-eXist- cnt, and little doubt is felt that the next step will follow within few days.
