According to the refugees, a party
of Villstas went through the streets
and one Of the men noticed an Irish
flag tackled on the door of small
hut, supposedly occupied by son of
Erin.
What nation is that represented by
green flag with a harp in the cen

been asked by one of the Villistas.

his companion, "it don't represent the

WILSON To ASK
EMPEROR FOR
PEACE TERMS
PRESIDENT WILSON is GIVING
CAREFUL STUDY TO THE NOTE
OF THE ENTANTE-HlS COURSE
is UNCERTAIN.

Washington, Jan, President
Wilson today began a careful and de-
liberate examination of the entente's
reply to his peace note to determine
what opportunity it presents for a fur
ther move on his part and in what
way one may be accomplished. The
entente note was discussed at the
regular meeting of the cabinet and
privately between the president and
Secretary Lansing.
Door Not Closed.
All quarters agreed that while the
entente had made a complete reply to
the presidents request for a state
ment Of terms the terms seemed to
offer no hope for an early end of the
war but fortunately, did not close the
door upon further effort on the presi-
dents part
Several courses of action lie before
The president Among them is an
other move to ask Germany to state
specific terms as the allies have done.
Diplomats say that with replies from
both sets of belligerents in hand it
would be perfectly legitimate to com
municate the answer of one set to the
other.
Germans Denounce Note.
The German diplomats here were
Outspoken in their denuciation of
the allies note and their declarations
that such terms never would be ac-
cepted Admittedly the note was
more severe than even they had been
led to expect and they declared the
Germanic allies were prepared to
fight on.
The next steps by the United States
will be decided upon after the utmost
deliberation.
President Wilson discussed both
the entente and German notes with
Col Il. NJ. House, who arrived here
last night. Colonel House had en-
gagements with a number of govern
ment officials and planned to return
to New York late today.
Wilson in No Hurry.
At the White House today the ordi
nary reticence was observed. II wa,
said the president would not be hur
ried into a decision of the attitude o
the American government
Because of the delicate stage whicl
the negotiations are certain to ente
from this time, it would be no surpris,
should the next moves be conducte,
entirely in secret without publication
of the exchanges until some definite
point has been reached.
Lansing is Silent.
Secretary Lansing refused to dis
cuss the entente reply or the plans o
this government on the ground that
had not yet read the the note wit
great care
II was stated officially, however
that whether the entente reply vii
be forwarded to the central power
and the latter's reply forwarded t
the entente has not been decided an
probably will not be for. several day
lpending most careful examination
of the whole situation.
Caution Clarified.
Briefly officials feel that the allie
have stated terms while refusing
conference; whereas, the German
have suggested conference withou
stating their terms.
Nevertheless it is felt that the il
ternational situation has been decided
ly clarified.

THREE PRETTY INCIDENTS.

Ur was a nice thought that prompted Nathan Miller
to make gift OF 1000 red, white and blue badges
TO Mayor Prices National Defense Committee on We'd
nesday night for free distribution.
II also was a nice thought which prompted Dr. Will
liam c. speaman formerly active in the service of the
American Ambulance Corps in Tranceto announce that
he would send several hundred OF the badges to tho
members that corps with request that they use the
number needed to decorate themselves and distribute
tho remainder among the soldiers Of Great Britain
France and Belgium who serving in the trenches
When Mr. Miller made the gft, he doubtless had
little idea that under tho auspices OF Mayor Prices
Defense Committee a substantial part Of the badges
soon would be worn by the soldiers andambuance men
in France and Flanders
Another human interest touch given 10 the ex-
ecutive committee meeting by Max Goetz editor and
owner OF the Lokai Anzeiger. the only German Amor-
can newspaper printed in Wilmington. Like Mr.. Mil
er Mr. Goetz Is q member OF tho Mayors committee.
He never misses a meeting. When, without warning
OF any kind he arose and in words that were tncured

MAYOR PRICE's SENSIBLE SUGGESTION.

HrAYoR PRICES appeal for safe and sane Fourth
I'VE OF July i'm Wilmington this year should meet with
the hearty approval and support OF everyone.
It is charactcristcally patriotic sensible and timely
The old and tho young in community should ex-
perience pleasure in making his suggestions operative
IN all the wards
The mayors statement shows that he gave to the
question much serious and intelligent thought before
he took action.
His appeal to the practical patriotism OF the boys
and girls is especially striking and pleasing That
they will meet him more than half way in the matter
should be taken for granted
Many boys and girls are asking themselves today
the question:
what can I do to aid my country in this war with
Germany"
One OF many obvious answers is;
Heed oheerfully the request Of our War Mayor not
70 waste our nations financial other resources by
burning good gunpowder the Fourth OF July but to
save both the money and the powder for use against
our German enemies"

If WE ARE FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY, LET'S
FIGHT GEOGRAPHICALLY.

This is about Smith and Jones. OF Delaware
Each is about 2S years OF age and able-boded.
Now let us suppose Congress is stupid enough TO
vote against compulsory service that we must raise
an army by the volunteer system.
Smith enlists.
Jones stays home
smith goes into battle-for Jones.
Jones sacrifices nothing.
Smith dies-for Jones'
Jones lives to enjoy the victory Of those principles
for which Smith died.
And under a volunteer system there will be thou
sands Of Smiths who may be called upon to make the
sacrifice for the millions OF Jonses who stay at home
A volunteer military systemis unjust as volun-
teer taxing system would be-
Our taxing system is. in fact conscripton of'prop-
erty The man crazy enough to suggest volunteer
taxing system has not yet appeared. We take It for
granted that everybody should pay taxes and the rea-
son is so obvious that nobody argues the point
Military conscription is merely fair tax on service
upon the people OF Delaware and other States.
II is not fair that courageous and patriotic
men should bear alone the burden OF sacrifice that
their country asks Of them.
It IS not decent the brave and the noble should
fight the battles Of the and tho crawen-no more
decent than would be a volunteer taxing system that
would leave TO a few the support Of government for
the many.
This is everybodys country-not merely the country
Of those who love It enough 10 die for Il Willingly.
Even II II we're possible to raise an army py lho VOL
unteer system t would be just to send that army
TO fight and die for the country while millions more Of
able-boded young stay behind TO enjoy the victory
which the brave and the true win with their blood.
That is unthinkable
We are proud Of our equality. But equality means
as much equality duties equality Of rights. We
are fighting for democracy. Let's then fight demo-
oraticay.
The statement made by Major Reed, commander Of
tho First Battalion Organized Militia OF Delaware at
the meeting OF the Executive Committee OF Mayor
Prices National Defense Committee shows conclusively
that the volunteer system has broken down in Della
ware the same as It has in most other states. He
asserted frankly that in his opinion selective conscrp
ton is the only way which to produce the desired
suits General James II. Wilson, Of Deawares
most distinguished soldiers expressed in substance the
same thought What they have said voices the senti-
ment Of a vast majority OF Deawareans.
