BRYAN LIKES WILSON PLAN
Nebraskan Approves in Part, But De-
cIares Europe Should Not Tell
Us When to Fight.

Chicago, Jan. 24.-"The presidents
message is wonderfully eloquent APP
peal to the nations at war; declared
William Jennings Bryan, in an inter-
view before leaving Chicago on spe-
cial train for Springfield, where he
spoke in the afternoon. Mr.. Bryan
came to Chicago from Madison.
''In so far as the presidents message
suggests terms of agreement, it is en-
tirely sound and expresses what | be-
lieve to be an almost unanimous senti-
ment. But | dissent entirely from the
proposition that this nation should
join in movement to effect peace in
Europe. If the nations will agree to
peace on the terms suggested by the
president they will not need our as
sistance in enforcing it.
IF ] know the sentiment of the
American people 1t is inconceivable
that they should be willing to put the
American army and navy at the com
mand of an international council,
which would necessarily be controlled
by European nations, and allow that
council to decide for us when we would
go to war.
'Such an agreement, in my judg-
ment would impair our European bust
ness instead of insuring it, because
they would see in our limited resources
Il means of advancing their own inter-
ests, with us bearing the burden"

INSIST ON VICTORY
BRITISH NEWSPAPERS COMMENT
ON WILSON'S ADDRESS.
Manchester Guardian Asserts Condi-
tons Ought to Be "Ours"-Post
Tells U. S. to Aid.

London, Jan. 24.--The Manchester
Guardian, commenting on President
Wilson's speech to the senate, calls ii
"a splendid policy, nobly expressed"
Asking how the belligerents will re-
gard it, the paper thinks its principles
and phrases will be hardly palatable to
autOcratic rulers or easily reconciled
to their traditions and methods of gov
eminent. But, yet If the people hear
them gladly, perhaps the government
also may find it wise to find In them n
path of safety. AS for ourselves, they
are our terms, or if they are not they
ought to be and the mass of the ma
ton will do well TO see that their
rulers render to them every possible
favor and support.
After quoting the chief points in the
presidents speech, in regard to the
conditions on which peace must be
based, the Guardian continues: 1T is
splendid policy, nobly expressed.
How will 1t be received? By the peo-
pies everywhere we cannot doubt
JOy luiig w VI SOOh Will anu
lightment everywhere not less joyful
ly and with a clear perception that
this is no vision of Utopia, but q well
thought out and justly framed scheme
of a man in a great position and versed
in great affairs"
Morning Post-"Presldent Wilson's
speech is full of noble aspirations and
amiable sentiments. 1t is only when
we get down to the question of how
peace is to be attained and main
tanned that we might find ourselves
in disagreement.
According to President Wilson's
logic, it would have been better for
Lincoln to have met the southern
leaders upon the field, shaken hands,
and agreed upon peace.
IF President Wilson desires to end
the war, let him come in and help us
end it."

BIG NAVAL BATTLE
GERMANS REPORTED DEFEATED
IN FIGHT OFF HOLLAND.
British Admit Loss of One DESTROYER
Damaged German Craft
Reaches Port.

London, Jan. 24.-Reports from
fmuiden received by Reuters Tele-
graph company via Amsterdam say
that German torpedo boats at night at
tempted to leave Zeebrugge to avoid
the ice, which was very thick. They
were Immediately attacked by a large
British squadron.
The action opened at short range
and early in the fight the bridge of
the German destroyer V-69 was swept
away by a direct hit, the commander
and two other officers being killed.
The V-69 fired one torpedo and was
hit by another British shell, which
knocked the funnel fiat on the deck.
Still another shell put hole in the
fore part of the vessel. Her guns APP
pear not to have been damaged
The crew of the V-69 numbered
about sixty. 1t would appear from the
statements of the men that seven other
German vessels We're sunk. The V-69
belonged to the home fleet.
The official announcement says:
Last night, while our light forces
were patrolling the North sea not far
from the Dutch coast, they met
division of enemy torpedo-boat de-
stroyers. A short engagement took
place. during which one of the enemy
torpedo-boat destroyers was sunk and
the rest scattered, having suffered con
siderable punishment. Darkness pre-
vented the full results of the action
from being observed.
During last night there was n
sharp engagement between enemy tor
pedo-boat destroyers and our own de-
strOyers in the vicinity of Schouwen
Bank. During this engagement one Of
our torpedo-boat destroyers was struck
by torpedo, the explosion killing
three officers and forty-four of the
crew. She subsequently was sunk by
our own ships. Relatives of the vic
Tins have been informed. Our ships
suffered no other casualties"
Gravenhage, Holland, Jan. 24.-The

DANIELS ATTACKS
MUN|T|ON FIRMS
Secretary Says Shells Fail to
Explode.
SAYS SCHWAB is NO PATRIOT
Declares In Statement That Less Than
Nine Per Cent of Lot of 14-inch
Shells Submitted Were
Acceptable.
SAYS SCHWAB IS NO PATRIOT

Washington, Jan. %. - Sweeping
charges of inefliciency, lack of patriot
ism and attempts to hold up the gov
eminent were made against American
munition manufacturers by Secretary
Daniels on Sunday.
Charles ". Schwah and the Bethle-
hem Steel Company are mentioned
specifically in the secretary's state
ment. Figures are given showing that
less than 8 per cent of a lot of IL
inch shells submitted by the Bethle-
hem company were acceptable to the
naval examiners. On the other hand,
all the shells submitted by Hadtields,
Limited, the English concern, to which
a large contract has just been award
ed, met the American requirements.
Secretary Daniels says he would not
make these figures public did he not
believe the facts were already known
abroad.
The statement says:
when certain American manufac-
turers leagned in 1914 that Hadtields
would submit bids they reduced their
prices from $500 to $315 each on IA
inch shells, and on other sizes in pro-
portion, and secured the contract at
their bid, thus enabling the navy to
effect a saving of 1917, 210 on the one
order.
1.-THE department wishes to give all
its orders to American manufacturers,
when they quote reasonable prices
and furnish shells that meet navy re-
quirements. Nothing but the utter
failure Of the most patient negotia-
tons and appeals TO the patriotism Of
the little group Of steel manufacture
ers who have practical monopoly
of this business, have made 1t impera-
tive FOR the government TO build Il
projectile factory and give contract
TO a foreign bidder.
"1he Bethlehem Steel company, con-
trolled by Mr. Schwab, which has been
filling the papers with advertisements

lhilo VII iLN iditoL uuftA tiStuithA lhdlt
though II was two years ago awarded
a contract for $1,500,000 worth of
shells, Ii has not yet made shells to
meet the requirements of the navy de-
partment. Until IL Is able to fill its
contracts, it does not become the
Bethlehem company to criticize the
navy department for awarding con-
tracts to manufacturers who can make
shells that meet the tests.
81 regard the attitude of these com
panies on this and other matters MS
most unfortunate, and, were there no
relief through competition either by
the government or by other more pa
tiotic firms, | would feel that they
were putting our entire program Of
preparedness in peril"
After praising some of the manu-
facturers for Willingness TO assume
their share In the program Of prepar-
edness, Mr.. Daniels says:
"That Other large manufacturers Of
war material should persist in ex-
tracing the last penny of profit from
our urgent necessity gives a certain
color to the arguments Of those who
believe that preparedness Is n synonym
for profits and not patriotism

STOCK EXCHANGE
YIELDS TO PROBERS
Agrees to Ask Members to Give
Lists Of Deals.
YELLED THREATS ARE MADE.
Hints OF Drastic Action by Congress-
Brings Results at First Hear
ina Held in New York
on "Leak"

New York, Jan. 24.-The leak" In
vestigation was resumed by the house
rules committee at the customhouse
here, with ii. G. s. Noble, president
of the New York stock exchange. as
the first witness.
Mr.. Noble was called, as explained
by Sherman l.. Whipple, counsel for
the committee, to detail the workings
of the stock exchange and to aid in
determining the possibility under its
rules of engineering deals for large
profits" Mr.. Whipple made 1t plain
that extraneous matters, such as
general investigation of the stock ex-
change, will have no place in the In
quiry at present.
Thinly yelled threats of congression-
al action to regulate the stock eX-
change and possibly prosecute mem
bers alleged to have engaged in pools
to depress the value of securities; an
attack upon the theory of short
sales" with the implied suggestion
that it might be wise thing to put an
end to such practices, and virtual de-
mand that the board Of governors of
the stock exchange request its men,
bers to supply full records of transac-
tons from December 10 to %, with the
names of the clients involved, were
among the many surprises Mt the first
session here.
Stock exchange officials fought for
hours against granting the latter re-
quest. On the promise that the names
of clients would not be revealed unless
evidence of wrongdoing was discov-
cred, officials capitulated.
The investigation, according to the
plan Mr.. Whipple outlined, will seek
to determine, first of all, three things:
What were the activities on the ex-
change during the week of December
1S, when the leak" on President Will
sons peace note is said to have oc-
Cured, and the possibilities for caus-
ing losses?
Who are the brokers responsible for
the transactions during this period?
Who made the profits?
Second Phase of Inquiry.
A second inquiry, Whipple said,
should extend both to profits and
losses.
after ALL" he said, "the committee
may feel that 1t is in position where
it intelligently may inquire about those
who profited, and it seems likely those
who protited may be those who OBJ
tanned advance information"
The familiar face of Thomas w.
Lawson was missing.
Mr.. Noble first was asked to de-
scribe for the benefit of the committee
the organization of the stock exchange,
the personnel of its management and
its rules and regulations.
Mr.. Noble described in detail ''the
activities of the market on the floor
of the exchange on a sample day" He
characterized the New York exchange
as "a great world market" emphaslz-
ing that a substantial proportion of
its business cnme from abroad
