Senate Democrats Will Discuss Pend
ing Legislation.
Washington, Jan. 24.-What legisla-
ton there shall be during the remain
der of this session of congress rests
largely with the senate Democratic
caucus, which has been called to meet
Thursday night to consider tenta-
tive program framed by the steering
committee
That it will be impossible to get
through with all pending legislation
Of Importance, the steering commit
tee has conceded. \
It will propose, however, that an
effort be made to get action on rail-
road labor legislation, a corrupt prac-
tees act, the Webb bill to permit do
nestle corporations, flood control
measure, the mineral land conserva-
ton bill and a few other general bills.
These recommendations ignore water
power conservation measures so long
in dispute, the Porto Rican citizen
ship bill and various other measures
in which many senators are interested

COAL SHIPS CARRY
GOLD FOR GERMANY

Baltimore, Jan. 24-It was report
ed in local shipping circles on good
authority that three steamers which
left Baltimore recently, presumably
with coal, also took out several mil.
lion dollars in gold eagles and hall
eagles.
The shipments of gold, it was also
reported, were for Germany and were
to be transferred at sea to the raiders
sweeping the South Atlantic. =;
The report is based on the departure
on Dec. "a for Norfolk of the steamer
Ausable. The vessel was known to
nave cleared with coal and about ST.
100000 in gold. It left Norfolk on Dec.
rs for Buenos Ayres, but it's arrival
has not been reported. 1t was follow
ed on Dec. 20 by, the Maumee,. also
carrying a heavy consignment of gold
for Buenos Ayres.
The Winnebago sailed on JAN for
the same port.
The three steamers are under Amer
lean registry and have been bought
by new enterprise, which is said to
have steamers on the British black
list.

TIMBER LANDS CUT
FAR BEYOND NEEO

Washington, Jan. PA plea fol
complete realignment of the lumber
industry so as to eliminate specula
tive forest ownership, overcutting and
a tendency to disregard the public in
terest in regulating production was
made by the forestry service in a
statement concurred in by the federal
trade commission, summarizing a sur.
vey of the industry just completed by
the two bodies.
The productive branch of the lum.
Der business, the report declares, "has
been interlocked too largely with
speculations in it's raw material and
has been made frequently to serve the
exigencies of timber speculation
1t adds that the result has been an
ill adjustment leading to almost
chronic overproduction," making un-
warranted inroads upon forest re.
sources already becoming inadequate
to the country's needs.

FRENCH SKEPT|CAL
OF WILSON PEACE

Paris, Jan. 24.-President Wilson's
address to the senate is printed in full
in the most prominent papers and
comment as whole is sympathetic
but skeptical. The Petit Parisien
says:
1T seems that President Wilson, as
in his previous note, has mistakenly
placed the states attacked and the
aggressors on the same footing, when
this distinction was an easy one
which he was in conscience bound to
make. With that stipulation we can
only subscribe to the formulate which
the president sets forth as basis of
future peace. None of his Conceptions
can offend u.s. They are ours. But
what will Germany and Austria say"
The Matin says:
I'm entire agreement with President
Wilson as to the principles enunciat.
ed by him, we nevertheless shall be.
lieve, until more fully Informed, that
there is a portion of humanity upon
which these principles must be impos.
ed by force"
The Journal says:
"Mr. Wilson is obsessed with the
idea of inaugurating for the world a
golden age of universal brotherhood
His whole message is dominated by
that noble chimera.
"Mr. Wilson's scheme is simplicity
itself, except that it requires new
type of man. Does Mr.. Wilson intend
to change human nature?"
Gustive Herve writes in the Vic.
toire:
"What a pity it is that mastery
page of social philosophy is marred
and almost disfigured by those three
little words: Peace without victory

OFFICIALS EXPECT REPLIES
Believe Some BeIIigerents Will An
swer Wilson's Address.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Formal COM
ment from some of the belligerent ma.
tions on President Wilson's peace ad.
dress to the senate is expected.
Even if this is not done the opinions
of the governments undoubtedly will
reach Washington informally through
diplomatic channels, it is believed
here.
Early press comment from Europe
was viewed by the administration
with the utmost interest and that of
the French papers, particularly, was
in general more appreciative and SYM
pathetic than had been expected.

New York, Jan: 24.-Confronted with

The action of the board followed no.

Surprised and indignant over the
action of the board the committee ad-

exchange, who, accompanied by coun-
sci, brought news of the postpone

Noble explained the reasons for the
postponement were that the produc-

great hardship to many brokers.
Attorney Whipple said that he was
willing the real names should be given

IN NORTH SEA
Two Clashes Between British
and German Ships.
SEVERAL DESTROYERS SUNK

British Lose One Vessel and Germans
Are Said in Unofficial Reports From
Holland to Have Had From Two to
Seven, Sunk and Others Seriously
Damaged.
London, Jan. 24.-Two naval en-
igagements were fought in the North
sea Monday night and Tuesday morn
ing between British light cruisers and
torpedo boat destroyers and German
destroyers. It was the first meeting
of the naval forces of the two bellig-
erent powers since last October.
An official report from London says
that in the engagement with the Brit
1sh light forces, mot far from the
Dutch coast" one of the German de-
strOyers was sunk and the remainder
were scattered.
In the other fight, which occurred
Off Zeebrugge, British destroyer was
struck by a German torpedo, killing
three officers and forty-two men of
the crew. The damaged craft later
was sunk by ships of it's own Aotilla.
Unofficial advices from Holland say
that from two to seven German ships
we're sunk and others damaged seri-
ously and that one of the latter was
towed into Ymuiden with twenty dead
on board, while sixteen severely
wounded were landed by a Dutch
steam trawler. The commander of
one of the German vessels, it is said,
was killed by shot which carried
away the bridge.
On the Russian front in the region
of Lake Kuggerion and near Kahn
zem, in the Riga sector, the Germans
have delivered attacks against the
Russians. Both attacks were re-
pulsed, according to Petrograd. In
Volhynia the Germans successfully
carried out trench raids.
The fighting fronts in France and
the Austro-Italian theater continue
to witness bombardments, spirited at
some places, and small engagements.
