FAILS TO CLEAR
Final Session Soon And New
Efforts VIII Be Half Hearted

Washington, Jan. 9.-What is ex-
pected to be the final meeting Of
the Mexican-American joint COM
mission will be held Saturday or
Monday. Plans for the meeting were
made today by Secretary Lane, act
ing for the American members, and
Alberto J. Pani, representing the
Mexicans, when Mr.. Paul Pani deli
vered letter acknowledging the re-
ceipt of the Americans reply to
General Carranza's latest refusal to
ratify the protocol signed at Allan
tic City.
Mr.. Paul and Mr.. Lane agreed
that further negotiations by the
commissioners were useless, al
though care had been exercised by
the Mexicans writing the letter to
the American commissioners to
avoid any such admission. Mr.. Pani
expressed the desire Of the Mexicans
for one more meeting, at which he
indicated his colleagues. would ask
for a continuation of the confer
|ences.
There was another report late
today Of an agreement on q date
for the withdrawal Of American
troops from Mexico, but it was de-

RATES ON SUGAR
Whit Martin Would Restore
Schedule on Sugar and Rice

Washington, Jan. 9.-Bills pro-
viding for the restoration of Payne
Aldrich duties on rice and sugar
were introduced in the House today
by Representative Martin, of the
Third Louisiana District. The bills
were referred to the committee on
ways and means. before which Jud-
ge Martin has another bill providing
for the restoration of the Payne
Aldrich duty on sugar.
The ways and means committee
met toby for the first time to con-
slider the problem of securing the
$500, 100000 additional revenue re-
quired for expenses Of government.
Judge Martin is convinced that the
committee will find it impracticable
to raise this amount by additional
direct taxes, and that it will have
to turn to the tariff schedules as
the more advisable source of part
of the needed revenue. Since sugar,
rice and. lumber are ! commodities
which can be made b produce re-
venue at the ports with q minimum
resulting burden to the amounts in
due collections, Judge Martin feels
that these products should be given
first consideration now that addi-
tional revenues are needed.

BREAK AND WAR
NOT UNEXPECTED
Plea Made, However, That
New U-Boat Order Is
Not Pledge Violation

Washington, Feb. Count Won
Bernstorff has been authorized by
his government to arrange for the
passage of any American passenger
ship. without contraband, through
the lane of safety to Falmouth pre-
scribed for one ship a week of the
American Line in Germany's new or
ders to her submarine commanders.
All vessels would be placed under
the same restrictions as the ships OF
the American Line.
The German Embassy has not yet
taken the matter up with any ship
owners, but it is not improbable,
should diplomatic relations between
the United States and Germany con-
tinue. that steps along this line will
be taken. The American Line itself,
it was said at the embassy, may IN
crease the number of ships on the
New York Falmouth route.

GERMANY TO REPLY
IN YARROWDALE CASE
Agrees to Inform u. S. if Any
Americans Are Prisoners

Washington, Feb. 2.-As a result OF
three inquiries Germany has agreed 10
inform the United States at once what,
if any, Americans were among the sail
ors brought in as prisoners of war on
the prize ship Yarrowdale for having
taken pay on board armed British mer-
chant vessels.
The State Department has expressed
impatience at the long delay in receiv-
ing a reply from Germany, as the Var
rowdale was taken into port nearly a
month ago. Several Americans are re-
rorted to have been released and to
have found their way to neutral coun-
tries.

attitude in the present crisis was

the German governments pledges to

A break in relations is not uneX-

took its new decision in the full
knowledge that it might mean a
break with the United States, or
even war. If a break comes, how
ever. Germany washes her hands
She has not sought it. If war fol-

ton Refused-1,2OO
Guards Out

The veil of rigid censorship was
thrown around the German liners
docked on the Hudson yesterday.
Commanding officers of the Teuton
vessels refused TO allow the United
States neutrality patrol to go below
decks. This order lent color to the
rumor that many of the important
parts Of the machinery had been re-
moved, and, possibly, the necessary
engine diagrams destroyed.
During the last inspection of the
German liners, neutrality guards dis
covered a sack containing ali the neces-
sary data for operating the compli-
Gated mechanism concealed in one Of
the unused furnaces. The data had
been collected so that at moments
notice il might be Immediately burned

5000 People Cheer

This statement brought 5000 men
and women cheering to their feet. The
crowd had gathered TO indorse Presi-
dent Wilson's recent peace address TO
the United States Senate and listen 20
Mr.. Bryan's views on "what the United
States should do in this great crisis" "
To keep out OF war, he told them, was
its first duty, one which the President
was determined 10 fulfil and had al
ready begun to fulfil By presenting to
the world a platform upon which 1t can
build its hope Of permanent peace.
The meeting was held under the
auspices Of the American Neutral Con
ference Committee. George Foster
Peabody presided and presented rcsolu-
tions pledging support TO President
Wilson in his efforts for peace. These
were carried by acclamation, with only
a few dissenting voices.
Surprise was expressed by Mr.. Bryan
that so large an audience had turned

the centre sections Of the great hall
were occupied.

WELCOME, JOURNALISTS

Journalism Week offers Columbia q
greater opportunity to display itseli
to advantage than is accorded most
cities of its size. This 5-day conven-
tion of newspaper folk and visitors
is more nearly a community affair
than any other activity of the school
year.
The meetings are held primarily
for the interchange of ideas and dis
cussions of policies, combined with
business and recreational features
The city, no less than the University
itself. forms the background of the
setting and comes in for a proper
tionate share of attention.
Columbia is awake to its position
as host Columbia is equal to the
occasion. A hearty welcome awaits
the many visiting men and women of

THE AMBULANCE UNIT

The movement launched by stu
dents of the University to organize
to obtain financial aid for at least one
unit of American Ambulance Field
Service means more to the Uni
versity than most persons realize.
Some men have been sent back to the
farms; others have volunteered as
privates in the ranks; many have OBJ
tanned places as members of the
training camps over the country, es-
pecially at Fort Riley. 1t is desir-
able and right that Missouri should
place its men alongside the men of
Illinois, of Washington, of Harvard,
of Princeton and other universities
that are doing things on the French
front
When the time comes to send these
young men into the field, Missourians,
near and far, should answer the call
for financial assistance. Enough
men may apply for places to insure
two units, but it takes money to send
fifty men to Paris.
This is not a selfish movement. 1t
is a movement worthy of the thought
and assistance of every man and
woman who believes in France and
democracy. Let's send two units, and
let's not permit the boys to pay their
own way.

FINDS NEW WAY TO GROW TALL

ALBANY n. Y, May 14.-Trying to

When Willis stripped to be exam

is beyond the wit of man to draw a
treaty of peace which will make it i'm
possible for war to occur between
Britain and either he present enemies
or her present allies. The destruction
of militarism cannot be attained by a
military triumph. The rights of ma
tionalities, far from being placed on
an unassailable basis by war, are at
present wiped out by it. None of
these words except the last can pos
sibly mean what they say. The only
catch word that has anything in it is
This must never occur again."

Society. records the results of inves-
tigatiOn by that society into the Ques-
tiOn of practical form of information

preventive of war. The work consists
of three parts: ID "A consideration of
the proposal for an international au-
thority as a preventive of war; (2)
existing forms of international gov

ernational authority with the articles
suggested for adoption by an interna-

important contribution to the subject

PLANTS POTATOES A NEW WAY
l.. Il. DeatOn Has Plan to Get Large
Crop From Small Space.

L. B. Deaton. 1911 Amelia street, is
making an experiment in potato plant
ing, which may prove of general in
terest considering the present price
of potatoes and should appeal to the
back-lot gardener especially as little
surface space is required.
Mr.. Deaton has butt a circular pen
feet in diameter with wire fencing
about feet high. 1t is ditched at the
bottom so that it will drain well. Po-
tatoes are planted in this in six cir
