MRS. ]. A. ROGERS
Is BURIED TODAY

Lucy A. Rogers, wife of John A.
Rogers, superintendent of the Hum
boldt county hospital, loved pioneer,
passed away at 635 Sunday morn
ing. Up to the time of her last ILL
ness, which was of short duration,
she had been in reasonably good
health. She was taken suddenly sick
about o'clock Saturday evening and
only survived the night through,
heart trouble being the cause of her
death.
Deceased was born in the state of
Illinois in the year 1855 and, with the
exception of about four years spent
in the Puget Sound country and in
Los Angeles. Cal, she had resided in
Winnemucca for thirty-seven years.
Mr.. and Mrs. j. A. Rogers we're mar
ried in Illinois and moved to Mime
sofa. After about years residence
there they came to this place, in the
year 1880. Since the first of the year
they have been residing at the county
hospital, of which Mr.. Rogers is SUI
perintendent, and it was there she
passed away.
Besides her husband, John A Rog-
ers, she is survived by son, Charles
A. Rogers, who was born In Winnie
mucca but is now resident of San
Francisco, and three sisters, residing
in California and the East.
Mrs. Rogers was an everyday
Christian and it is difficult to pay a
fitting tribute to the memory of so
noble a woman, one whose everyday
life was embellished by the most
charming and lovable attributes of her
sex. During her long residence here
she always took prominent part in
social and charitable affairs of the
town and had the love and respect of
all who were fortunate enough to be
acquainted with her.
The funeral is being held this after
noon at the Methodist Episcopal

"Bc an American" Writes
Fl. A. w. Wood to Wilson

Honorable Woodrow Wilson, President
D. c.
"sir: For Gods sake, be an Ameri-
can! Respectfully,
"HENRY A. WISE WOOD"
This letter was sent to the President
yesterday. Mr. Wood explained last
night that il was provoked by the Pres
ident's peace speech before the Senate,
which Mr.. Wood characterized as a pro-
German utterance.
"The President said Mr.. Wood, "is
playing Germany's game, 10 doubt I'M
consciously. | believe he is in the
hands OF the willy Won Bernstorf, and
has been since the U-53 visited Newport

dated him into his present state Of

the U.53 on or oE our coast might con-
tinue unless there was some express

party in Germany which stands and
clamors for a continuation of German
frightfulness.

Bv STEVENSON II. EVANS

Washington, Jan. 24.-Above all, the
paans of praise and the biting denuncia-
ton called forth both in America and
France and Great Britain by President
Wilson's address to tho Senate one
fact stands out distinctly. 1t IS this;
MIR. Wilson, by his speech of January
22 and his note of December is, has
ranged himself defniately and lrrey-
ocably upon the German side.
His usefulness as possible mediator
when opportunity for peace finally
comes is ended. He has eliminated HIM
self. He may go on, indeed he is eX-
pected to go on, playing an historic
role, as he fondly thinks, but Mr.. Will
sons conclusion that a Germsn-made
peace is now possible is not the con-
clusion of the Allies.

To which Mr. Kahn framed the fol-
lowing reply:
"If people get 'Aeeced' the fault lies
either with their own get-rich'quick
greed in buying highly speculative or
unsound securities, or with going into
the market beyond their depth, or with
exercising poor judgment as TO the time
of buying and selling, or, finally. with
the wiles Of outsids promoters or IN
scrupulous fnsnciers.'
No Remedy for Greed

there Is no way TO prevent man from

answer given by the Entente 70 Ger
many's peace offer. II asks whether
the principles Of autonomy, sef-goN-
eminent and free access 70 the seas are
10 be applied also respectively 90 Firms,
Iithusnians and Courlanders and
70 the Straits Of Gibraltar and or
Singapore and the Susz Canal.
The Catholic "Germania" agrees with
majority Of the principles set forth
ia the Presidents address, adding;
"His idea about the character the
coming peace ought to have is praeu,,
oaly Identical with the principles laid
down in the peace offer OF the Central
Powers. As 10 the equality OF nations
and the freedom of the seas, those nave
always been the aims Of German pol
icy"
No Change in German System
"Gcrnania" asks whether certain
IDEAS enunciated in the Presidents
speech imply a change Of the German
political system, but says that TINS IS
improbable. as the message itself sets
forth the right Of self-government OF
all nations and that no nation shall
be allowed 70 impose upon others us
form Of government
The "Tsgeblatt" fully Endorses the
general principles or inc message a',N
considers that they ought TO be an OBJ
stacle TO "the classification Of Constan-
tinople." It declares that the prob,
lem Of Gibraltar, the Suez Canal and
other strstegicsl positions ought to be
taken into consideration.
The Socialist "NorwsrtS' declares
that the Presidents message is partial
neither 70 the Central Powers nor the
Entente. but is neutral and inspired
by the wish 20 serve the cause itself. y
The Central Powers are OF the same
mind az President Wilson in the wish
10 secure lasting peace at an early date,
the paper declares. adding:
we want autonomy Of nations, but
we do not want that interpreted in a
fashion which changes the practical
character Of the principle into its very
opposite by jeopardizing the right OF
the German nation 10 the free deter
mination OF its own fate. We do not
want that self-government of nations
shall be applied 20 only one side and
that the other side shall be used for
destructive purposes, or that it shall
be applied only as a pretext in order
10 humilotc one Of the belligerent
groups.'

Paris, Jan. 24.-Thc employees oil
Schneider & Co., makers Of the famous
Creusot guns at Harfeur, the SECOND
largest steel works in France and de-
voted to the manufacture of munitions
went on strike yesterday. To-day Al
bert Thomas, Minister Of Munitions

had committed, Of the Germans, VINO
do not interrupt their work, and OF
their French brothers and their hus-
bands, impatiently awaiting the means
of defence which the French men and
women workers should provide:

Wilson's latest peace move. Ihere ID
tho highest authority for stating that
the answer from the Entente govern
ments. il any answer CONES, viii be 20
worded that Mr.. Wilson will not be en-
couraged to NEEDLE further In the set
Element Of a war. which, according 70
his favorite campaign slogan, he kept
US out Of.
But despite the unmistakable evil
dences that the speech TO the Senate
was not welcomed abroad, assurances
have been obtained from Mr.. Wilson's
friends that he intends to continue his
efforts 60 reinforce the German peace
drive. Just what form the next step
will take is not definitely known. -,
The important thing is that there Will
be another step. That, IT. can be saio
with authority, has been decided upon
Il depends somewhat upon the reply
which tie Allied governments make 10
the speech to the Senate.
Expects an Answer
Just why the President expects re-
ply from the Entente governments 10 a
speech delivered TO the United states
Senate is not revealed. Copies Of the
speech we're delivered to the foreign
ministers of the belligerent powers, but,
according 10 the American State De-
partment, that was "for their informs-
ton"
The Presidents spokesman IN the
Senate, J. Hamilton Lewis, OF ILLINOIS,,
said to-day, however, that an answer
was expected, and that the foreign gov
ernments might be embarrassed IN tneir
answers, and that Mr.. Wilson migh,,
also be embarrassed in his next moves
IL the Senate ventured to compiicate
the situation by premature discussion
A month separated President VIII
sons first peace move, which TOOK the
form Of an identic note, and his sec
ond, which was in essay style. The
third move may not be made known TO
the world until after March 4. NO
forum, such as the Senate OF the United
States, will be necessary.
The third move, some of the Presi-
dents friends say. and the Germans,
by the way, cordially approve, VIII be
in the form Of call TO all nations TO
come 20 r world conference. con-
ference is what the Germans are clam
oring for, q conference with their enc
mies. Possibly they viii accept the
Wilsonisn amendment.
Hint He Has German Terms
Many of the Presidents friends here,
firing after two days % extravsgsnt
praise Of the Presidents speech, now
would have the country believe that
Mr.. Wilson il in possession OF much
information about the German plans
denied 10 his fellow countrymen. They
hint the secret terms Of the Germans
are in Mr.. Wilson's possession.
If such is the case the statement of
the terms would do more 10 bring peace
nearer than many speeches. II is
doubted, however, in Entente circles
that the President has any informa-
ton not in possession OF others.
The other part of the Presidents
speech-that part which is of espe-
cial interest to the people Of the United
States---was intended, as is now def
nitely understood. as the Presidents
start on a stumping campaign to gain
converts TO the idea Of world league
TO enforce peace. As The Tribune
pointed out few days ago, certain
inspired stories have been put in cir
culstjon TO sound sentiment for the
President. He seeks TO find out If a
campaign Of specchmaking would be
welcome.
