PRESIDENT WILSON MAY
STUMP FOR PEACE IDEA
of Country-Senate Hats Long
Debate

Washington, Jan. &C. = Presiden
Wilson has taken under consideration
a suggestion that after congress adj
jOurns he make 4 number of speeches
in different parts of the country in a,
campaign of education in connection
with the ideas expressed by him in his
address on peace before the senate.
Officials said the president had
reached no conclusion and would not
do SO for several weeks
Action on Senator Cummins' resO-
luton to provide for exclusive con-
sideration of President Wilson's peace
address until all senator's have ex-
pressed their views, was deferred, and
it was sent to the calendar after it
had been debated two hours.
Senator Cummins sought to obtain
unanimous consent for the resolution
to go over without prejudice, to come
up automatically again this week, but
Chairman Stone of foreign relations
committee objected. Senator Cum
minis pointed out that with the resolu-
ton on the calendar 1T is possible for
him to move to take it up tomorrow or
any other day after the senate rOu-
tine morning business is concluded.
Senator Stone wanted to refer the
resolution to the foreign relations
finally ordered it to the calendar.

Price of a Tree.

The owner of an apartment-house
was ordered to pay $50 for a maple
tree which he ordered cut down, not
knowing that it was city property. Ex-
pert testimony determined the cost of
replacing the tree.
When tree is felled and cut up
into logs its commercial value is cas-
lily calculated, but the worth of a
standing tree-especially one within
the city limits-is hardly to be deter
mined, except for the very practical
purpose of penalizing it's destroyer.
The early settler, with the forest to
contend with, proceeds to clear the
land about his home, SO that not a
sapling survives. Towns in the midst
Of what, generation ago, was Mich
lgan's timber belt, are treeless, or
practically so, and summers sun and
winters wind find no obstruction to
their violence. Yet in cities trees are
appreciated.
1t must be that our eyes were in
tended to receive more green rays than
any other since trees are turf are alb
solutely necessary to save any prospect
from bleakness. Every tree in Detroit
is precious, and it is reassuring to
learn that one cannot be felled with
out due action from the authorities

In Northern France.

Tt is strange and terrible to visit
Paris, and no one can be happy, but
to one who has loved France it is far
worse to visit the lovely northern
country. There is here a sense Of
emptiness, as if terror still hushed the
normal cheerful noises Of mankind.
The people of these regions have lost
everything; their houses are burned;
their animals, even the rabbits, are
gone; their farm implements are
shapeless pieces of grotesquely melted
patched shelters, and in the houses
built by the Society of Friends, or
mass themselves in some nearby viii
lage that escaped destruction at the
hands of the crown princes retreat
ing army. After a time in this silent
country one gets the sense that de-
struction is normal, and tears start to
ones eyes at the sight of an unde-
stroyed French village smiling in the
sun. So changed are all values that
I could feel nothing strange in the
words of the woman who told me,
fortunately, my husband is hunch-
MARY Heaton Verse, in the
Century.

Japanese Trade in Manchuria.

Mr.. YOshida, who was selected by
the japanese government to investi-
gate commercial conditions in Man
churia, has made a report giving de-
tails of the trade. About one month is
required to transport goods from
Osaka to Hardin, even by passenger
train. The principal Japanese prod
ucts that are sent from Hardin to Eu-
ropean Russia are hosiery, underwear,
shoe soles, cotton textiles, medicines,
isinglass and insulated electric wire.
Since the middle Of August an import
tax has been assessed upon hosiery
and underwear by the Russian Man
churian customs. The trade of North
Manchuria is on the road to prosper
ity, on account of the increased pop
ulation and the development of agri-
culture. Hardin is regarded as the CEN
ter of business.

Ell Paso Tex, Jan. 30.-Rfoters In
Juarez stormed four street cars on Sun
day and seized eight American street
car men. They are being held pris-
oner by the Mexicans. The mob on
the other side of the river has assumed
such q menacing attitude that Carran-
"a soldiers are guarding the four in
ternational bridges and cavalrymen are
patrolling the river front, opposite the
American patrol.
The demonstration of the rioters,
which was at first derisively good
natured changed suddenly just after
noon, when four shots were fired at
the Mexican end of the railroad bridge.
After that the mob attacked the street
cars. So far no American has been
harmed, but the increasing violence
of the disorderly element is causing
unsasiness.
Among the rioters are many Next
can women. These Joined in the at
tack on the street cars and then
marched to the international bridge,
where they held a demonstration
against all Americans.
The women joined the rioters be-
cause the United States health of
ficers put an end to all-night traffic
between Juarez and Ell PasO. They
became Infatuated when refused per-
mission to cross the bridge.
Hundreds of excited Mexican men
and women now line the banks of the
Rio Grande opposite Ell Paso.
A report was brought to Ell PaSo

that one Mexican was shot and killed
during the shooting there.

"Plundering" of Public by Washing

Washington, Jan. 29-The senate on
Friday voted favorably on the $4,000
appropriation to pay for the Inaugural
ton expenses at the capitol, but not
until there had been some lively talk
about how Washington hotel keepers
rob-, visitors and some observations
that the inaugural ceremonies have
come to resemble coronation pageant.
When Senator Overman brought the
resolution from the appropriations
committee Senator McCumber (Rep.)
of North Dakota suggested that it
should include provisions to prevent
hotel keepers from raising their rates.
He said he had been informed by one
hotel that a room for Inauguration
week would cost 5000.

SEEK MORE FISH TO CAN
Increasing Demand for Product Has
Led to Inquiries as to Where 1t
Can Be Had.

There is perpetual and increas-
ing demand for canned fish of all
sorts. The utilization of the dogfish,
or grayfish, as it is more politely
called, has added to the opportuni-
ties of the eastern Gamers, but those
on the Pacific coast are looking to the
westward for a still further supply.
The yellow and blue fin tuna (known
as the horse mackerel when they ap-
pear in eastern waters), the dolphin
and bonita are plentiful in Hawaiian
waters, and Pacific coast Gamers are
making inquiries as to the possibility
OF securing catch large enough to
warrant the establishment of can
neries on the islands.
The commercial fisheries of Hawaii
are almost exclusively in the hands
OF the Japanese. A few years ago
they formed small companies to oper-
ate hand-propelled sampans. These
brought the fish to the Hawaiian mar
ketS, where the catch was sold at auc-
ton. The gasoline boats have taken
the place of those propelled by oars
or sails and these have a steaming
radius of thousand miles. They are
equipped with ice chambers, so that
the fish may be kept from four to six
days.
Large corporations have been
formed. One company controls $50
Japanese boats and another 40. The
tuna at present prices, retailing at 10
to 70 cents a pound, is too costly to
permit of canning with profit. The
bonita sells at cents or less and
might be used to advantage, as it is
very plentiful.
There is also a little sardine fish
that is taken in great numbers. The
establishment of United States gar
rlsons at or near Honolulu has
greatly increased the demand for
Dish, but no survey has yet been made
which determines whether canneries
can be made commercially profitable.

of the system.

tunity for discussion of the question
and was not helpful.
Il do not need to prove to you or
anybody my deep interest in this sub
ject," said the president. 81 will frank
ly say to you would have been more
impressed by this memorial if it had
been expressed in more restrained Ian
guage. From some of the unqualified
statements in this paper | must frank

The memorial which aroused the
president contained detailed criticism
Of the sending of the Guard to the
Mexican border and said it was tut
terly and absolutely inadequate for the
defense of the country"
