Every merchant in the city who
were asked about the matter yester-
day were unanimous in the opinion
that the present holiday business was
one of the very heaviest in recent
years. In fact it was freely stated,
that the business generally was more
than double that of many years in
the past, and to make it better. trad
ing was all cash. Persons in all
walks of life had and spent money. 'It
was a common thing for colored peo-
pie to come into our place and tender
a twenty dollar. note in payment for
bills of goods representing more unan
half that denomination, said one
merchant yesterday.
Another stated that it was the best
holiday trade he had enjoyed in fiji
teen years of business in Pensacola,
and the people are not given to
buying cheap or gaudy things, but ask
seeking articles Of usefulness and
value. The cheap toy has, to all ap
pearances. lost the greater part of
it's attractiveness, for our customers
lodged the toy counters and made for
something useful Gloves, ribbon,
wearing apparel, dress goods, parasois.
etc, were all sought more anxiously
this season than ever before"
Purchasing one object after another,
an old colored woman, who ran her
account up to SASS, surprised young
lady in one OF the furnishing shops
yesterday by filsching from a roll of
them, a twenty-dollar bill. asking if II
was necessary to wait tut de things
are wropped up, cause L must be go
ing if dey can be sent up" Like
occurrences were numerous.
Some of the merchants volunteered
the assertion that every thing "is
American made in this store" certain
w there was nothing bearing the card
of made in Germany" as had been
the case in the past. Another fea
ture of the holiday business to which
attention was called was the large

or political revolution from within
Since a lasting world peace is our
chief war aim, which of Germans
crimes can we afford to accepS IS in
nocent acts and permit to be repeat
ed and continued? Which oppressed
nationality can we safely abandon
to her sovereignty? What slaughter
of innocents and destruction of their
property shall we leave without such
reparation as can be afforded by f.
nancial indemnity"
Quoting from President Wilson's
assertions that the war will not be
won until the rulers of the German
people make reparation for the
wrongs they have done, the League
asserts that indemnities should be
paid in the cases of Belgium, Serbia,
Poland, Rumania and France.
The League of National Unity was
organized in Washington last Sep
TENDER. Its purposes are to create
medium through which loyal Amer
leans of all classes can give express
sion to the fundamental purpose of
the United States to carry on the
war to a successful conclusion. Car
oinal James Gibbons is honorary
chairman of the League and Theodore
y. Vail, President of the American
Telephone and Telegraph Company Is
chairman. Among the vice-chairmen
are Samuel Gompers, President of
the National Association OF Manu-
facturers.

NO PEACE UNTIL
MILITARY VICTORY
VIRTUALLY ASSURED

New York, Dec. 22-The League
for National Unity today issued a
declaration, signed by its officers and
executive committee, in which all eff
forts toward premature peace are
condemned and the determination of
continuing the war until military
victory is achieved and the autocratic
power of the Imperial German Gov
eminent is broken, is pledged.
"We are in this war to conquer the
enenny's armies" declares the state
ment, Though not his territory or
population. We intend to nullify the
power of the Imperial German Gov
eminent We do not intend that it
shall gain, at the expense of other
nations, either IAN enlargement of
territory or AN expansion of indus
trial and commercial opportunities
or an increase of prestige"
"When German military reverses
map becomes unfavorable. no doubt
some of the German uarties will be-
gin to consider the peace principles
of world democracy the statement
concludes. "But no influential Ger
man party yet sees coming defeat.
There Is, therefore, as yet no COM
mon ground for discussion between
the partisans of might and the par
tisans Of right.
THE Imperial German Govern
nena, foiled and defeated in it's plan
to cripple the great self-governing
nations of the world, first France,
next England, last the United States,
is seeking to achieve through its pro-
posals for peace what is has been
unable to obtain by arms
The Imperial German Government
seeks compromise in the irrepress-
IDLE conflict between autocracy and
democracy before it shall be too late
All who are willing to compromise
on this issue are willing to aid des-
potism, as all who urged compromise
on Abraham Lincoln in the Civil War
aided slavery. The American people
today are fighting for their own lib
erty as well as for the freedom of
the world. The world cannot be safe
lied autocracy-its people still be-
lieving it victorious-is intrenched in
the center of Europe leading 10000
900 armed men and possessing the re-
sources of 10000, 900 people in the
worlds central position for all seas
and all continents"
1 Asserting that the underlying cause
for Americas entrance into the war
was that the German government
t'endangers our safety and chal-
lenges our freedom" the statement
declares that president Wilson was
the true spokesman of the American
people when he said in his message
to Congress that the American peo-
pie are impatient with those who
-siesire peace by any sort of compro-
mise"
NO compromise is conceivable"

German government is not utterly
brought to an end by military defeat

The Committee on Accounts passes
on the legitimacy Of patronage charges

said that at the meeting to-day EVIL
dence developed that the Democrats
have drafted this session a particularly
ambitious House patronage programme.
Mr.. Sanford charged this in a speech
of some length At several points IN

Johnson. However. when II became
evident that the Kentucky member was
interruptng for the purpose of mud

Mrs. Cocchi Forces
Cruger Case Diggers
To Use Coal Chute
Investigators Get in Cellar De-
spite Her Efforts to Keep
Them Out

A scene sufficiently grotesque to rival
the most sensational movie was staged
Yesterday afternoon in front Of the
shop of Mrs. Alfredo Cocchi, at 5iZ
West 127th Street, when two laborers
crawled through a narrow coal chute
leading from the street to an under
ground vault in n search OF evidence
accounting for the disappearance OF
Ruth Cruger, an eighteen-year-old
schoolgirl, missing since February Is.
Armed with a permit from the Bor-
ough President, Mrs. Grace Humlston,
attorney for the Cruger family, led tn
half dozen detectives and policemen 10
the shop where Mrs. Cocchl sat, ada
mant in her refusal to permit an entry
by way of the cellar door. Scores or
curious men and women gathered about
the place. Mrs. Humiston then gave
the order for the laborers TO descend.
Lighting their path with electric fiasn
lamps, they wormed their way through
an entrance almost too narrow for a
child u pass.
Because the coal chute runs In a
diagonal course from the street level 20
the cellar vault, it was impossible for
those in the street to see what went on
below.
The vault is a small room, 6 by 6 feet,
directly under the sidewalk. Occasion
ally the CLINT of the fash lamps told the
spectators without that the laborers
were not wasting time. Within her
store Mrs. Cocchi sat smiling, fondling
her baby on her knee.
They won't find anything" she kept
saying. They're all fools"
Persistent digging all afternoon
failed 10 unearth anything more inter-
esting than a quantity of white plaster.
Samples Of this were handed 20 j. J.

the Cruger family, end Detectives Nc
Gee and Quinn, of the Fourth Branch.
Suddenly a torrent Of rain came down
and every one sought shelter in Mrs.
Cocchi's shop. MRS. Humiston gave or
Gers TO the laborers to come up, and as
Mrs. Cocchi firmly, but pleasantly, re
fused to open the cellar door, they
were drawn out, dripping wet. through
the coal chute.
Digging will be resumed to-mor-
row." said Mrs. Humiston last night.
