 Gathering of data in preparation for the eventful peace conference was purely incidental and entirely aside fro mthe main purposes of the mission.
 Asked regarding the progress of General Pershing's work Colonel House said:

 Henderson confessed to the inspector when the latter started to audit his books today. He called the inspector into his office and made clean breast and asked for .clemency, saying that hls conscience would not permit him tc embezzle further nor to hold the secret. He declared that he had de- ceived the postal inspectors three times before and could easily have done so this time but remorse over came him.
 Henderson has been connected with the local postoffice many years, and was considered one of the best em- ployes of the government here. His confession to the press is as follows: ITO the public and my friends:
 T take this manner to inform you that I have through weakness used postal funds of the Amarillo. Texas. postoffice for personal expenditures and that this was done contrary to law. 1 was not caught in tho use or taking of these funds, but have vol untarily confessed my weakness and error in this matter and now have the one hope that in some manner l shall be given 8 chance to make good in every respect.
 The burden of disgrace and my thoughts is a heavy load and all that I desire is to show that 1 can carry it and with the hope that may again win back my good name.

 Counsel for tho defense asked more time tO confer with their clients, and among themselves. The pleas were entered with the understanding that # counsel determined to argue on demur- TOTS the pleas might be withdrawn on January 3.
 For the rest the procedure was sim- pie. The clerk for the court read the names. struggling hard with some of them, and the defendants appeared.
 What is your name?" the judge would ask
 The defendant would answer, giv ing the correct pronunciation. Do you plead guilty or not guilty? "Not guilty"
 With this the defendant would make his way through the crowded ] aisles back to his seat. Arthur Gionevetti, clear skinned. black hair brushed straight back and wearing a flowing tie, appeared with genial suav!ty before the bar, like an actor sure of a pleasant reception. Ben Reitman, erstwhile anarchist, and associate of Emma Goldman, who was a spectator, said to a re- porter:
 "Ah, there is man, 8 great man. That's Gionavetti the poet. He writes wonderful verse-he has a soul, an appreciation of the good and the beautiful! You should reao

 The defendant looked blank. Five years ago" said the judge | T could have asked you that in ! your own language. Are you guilty
 or not guilty? Did you do 1t, o1 didn't you do it? Guilty or not | guilty? Understand? The witness struggled and then
 said three distinct words:

 court that Rodriguez knew what hc

 Others of prominence among the defendants were Haywood, executive secretary of the l. W. w, and Vim cent St. John. Few spectators were admitted as the court room was crowded with the unusual number of defendants.
 Charles Jacobson of Virginia, Minn., and John Baldaza of New York were the two of the original defendants who did not respond when arraign- ment took place. Later in the day, Jacobson appeared at District At torney ClYnes office and said that his train was six hours late in reach ing Chicago. He was told to ap- pear before Judge Landis on Janu- ary ,, to enter his plea. MT. Clyne said that Baldazza had given sub- stantial cash bail when arrested at New York and that his absence to- day had been reported to the secret service at Washington with a view to having him apprehended.

|. W. w. LEADERS
 ARE ARRAIGNED IN
 CHICAGO J. 5. COURT
[RepubIlean A. p. Leased wlr.l

CHICAGO, Dec. 15.-One hundred and three alleged members of tho In- dustrial Workers of the World, prob ably the largest number over assembled In one court room 10 answer to charges of conspiring against the federal gov arnment, pleaded mot guilty" when ar ralgned before Judge Landis in the United States district court today.
 In general appearance the defendants resemble a typical jury panel. There were exceptions, however, for among tho I. W. W. there are not g. few who pretend Co have literary merit There arc some who confess themselves poets, and not few are orators. These may be distinguished by the flowing tie and the soft collar of the artist or musician, by tho stiff rearward brush of the hair. or, in one or two instances, by a neatly trimmed Nandyke beard. One of the government lawyers referred to them as the American Bolshevild without the whiskers.'
 Many bailiffs, secret service men, special agents of the department of jus- tice. city detectives and policemen thronged the sixth floor corridors of the federal building. Even newspaper re- porters had to get through three lines or guards to reach the court room. All not known to the guards were given a cursory search for bombs or weapons a procedure which led to some em- barrassment for George F. Vanderveer of Seattle, Wash, of counsel for the defense.

 Certainly. 1 have a gun" said Mir Vanderveer, and he would have moved on into the court room with an explana- ton of his identity.
 T don't care who you are, you cant cart cannon into this court" said stern. who thereupon delegated another bailiff to escort Mir. Vanderveer to the department of justice, where the pisto was deposited.
 A slight. pale woman, recognized by one of the detectives as one who haC sung, like a medieval troubadour, out. side the jail window wnere Big Bilr Haywood was confined, was warned out of the building.
 Besides MT. Vanderveer, the defend. ants, who came from all parts of tht country, were represented by Attorney. Otto Christensen and John L. Matzen Oliver Ragin. Frank K. Nebeker and

NEW INTER ALLIED COUNCIL CREATES
 ECONOMIC UNIT
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-OrganiZa- tion in London of the inter- allied coun- cil by election of Assistant Secretary Crosby, of the treasury as president, was regarded by officials, as marking the fruition of the plan advanced by Secretary McAdOo soon after the United States entered the war for bind ing the allies into an economic unit.
 Another phase of the American plan was carried on months ago by the creation of an allied purchasing com mission in the United States, headed by Bernard Baruch. The inter-allied council will consider such questions as the most effective use of credits ad- vanced by the United States to her allies, priority of the allies material needs which can be supplied in this country and in a general way pooling of economic resources to make the war more efficient.
 As head of the council, which in cludes one. representative from each of the municipalities, MT. Crosby will not vote except in tied disputes and con- sequently will hold the balance of power for the United States. His se- lection will necessitate his remaining in London or Paris indefinitely, prob ably for the period of the war.
 T am greatly pleased said Secre- tary McAdoo tonight, that such an honor as the selection of Mir. Crosby to the presidency of the inter- allied coun- cil should come to the United States and the treasury department.
 "As a result of the organization of the council I am confident that we shall get more effective use of the i credits which the United States now is extending tO tbp allies 0
 MT. Crosby accompanied Colonel House and his mission to Europe near ly two months ago, and since then has been studying allied financial needs | in London and Paris.
 The United States already has eX- tended aggregate credits of $3,SS3, ,900,- 1 900 to the allies and about $3,500, 900, GOO has been paid out. Before he left 1 here, MT. Crosby supervised these loans for the treasury and also directed the issue of liberty bonds and certificates of indebtedness. MT. Crosby is a l graduate of the Military Academy and | served as an officer in the army en- gineers in 1887.

army men. Then he told clearly and briefly of the real purpose for which the Y. W. c. A. is raising it's war fund.
 First is the rest houses 40 miles back up the front in France for the American nurses, of whom there are now 10000 in service, women who come back exhausted from their labors, in the rest houses. to find a real Amer ican home with a good woman in charge to mother them and rest them up for return to duty.
 A second task is to aid in properly housing the 150,000 women and girls working in munition factories in Paris. These women are sleeping three in a bed in eight-hour shifts, the bed being used by nine different women in the course of "A hours. Thiy work is to give them "a decent chance for a de- cent life" amid wars alarums. Similar work is to be done among women mu- hilton workers in America.
 Then Dr. Francis told of the hostess houses in the camps and cantonments, houses where mothers can meet sons in the service; where any woman en- titled can meet the man she is inter ested in; meet him in comfort and lunch with him if she will. He said that at American Lake the first day the hostess house was opened 619 women met and lunched with sons, brothers and husbands, and by the third day 1,500 availed themselves of the opportunity.
 This is the way to Eeep the under world out by bringing the upperworld in,' said the speaker.
 This work, he said, will bring the boys home to become good citizens, not brutalized through military train ing, as the Prussians are.
 Satisfactorily speaking, pr. Francis said there are already 26 hostess houses built or building. and A more ordered and it is for this and other similar service work that s4,000,000 is asked, of which sum Arizona, California and Nevada are asked to contribute s350,- coo. and of which last named quota Arizonas share is $35, 5000. He told of s3,500 raised in Tucson on Friday and said the finest work he had yet seen was the fund of $1,253 guaranteed by the girls of the Phoenix Union high school patriots simply beyond bounds
 Dr. Francis said the nation does not yet know what 1t means to give to this war. As an exafnple he cited Toronto which in three years has given thirty six millions of dolalrs to the Red Cross and I. NJ. C. A. work in addition to enlisting 4o,00O men.
 Cards for subscription were then circulated and while they were being signed and totalled Miss Lee gave a strong talk in which she told of what the Y. W. work had done for her per sonal friends in France. She told Of q girls she knows of, one of whom has come back without her sight, one of whom had said, when returning ex- hausted from a base hospital, "Oh why do you wait for us to break before providing us places for rest?"

before the last recruit has been formal ly accepted for military service.
 Acting under orders from Washing ton the time for enlistments in the regular army was extended until noon today and B were added to the record number accepted since the recruiting rush began. These were in addition to enlistments in special branches of the service. The local officers today passed 25 for the aviation corps, 75 for the medical corps and 40 for the dental corps.
 Dozens of youths of draft age ap- piled for enlistment during the after noon pleading that they had intended to appear this morning but believed that the time had expired and did not know of the extension granted by the government. Their app:ications were rejected.
 Tomorrow the Denver office will be closed for the first time in two weeks The examining and clerical staffs have worked almost A hours a day for the l last week.
