NEW COMMODITIES
SOON TO Be PLACED
UNDER COUNCIL

A new list OF commodities to be
placed under the control OF the Ex,
port License Council probably will be
announced within a week. IL was
learned from Government officials to,
day.
1t is probable that the new list
will include cotton. Cotton has been
under consideration. both by Presi,
dent Wilson and his advisers who
constitute the executive council of
the Exports Council, for several
weeks.
Cotton manufacturers have become
insistent that that commodity be
placed on the list Immediately. Presi-
dent Wilson has delayed this step
on account OF the fact that little or
no cotton Is now being shipped TO
neutrals and that the most of the
cotton exported Is going to Great
Britain, where it is badly needed for
the manufacture of munitions.
As rapidly as possible, agents are
being placed in all the neutral coun-
tries, especially Holland. Sweden,
Norway and Denmark, to make In
vestigation into the needs OF import
Ing firms in those countries. Delay
of several weeks has been caused on
the shipment of certain cargoes to
these countries because the Exports
License Council was unable to make
adequate investigation into the neces-
sity for shipment.

COUNCIL TO PRESS
PRESIDENT TO MAKE
PEACE PLAN CLEAR

CHICAGO, Aug. 19.-'It has been
said we are fighting for democracy
but we want to know what the Presi'
dent means by that"
This statement was made here by
Victor L Berger, former Socialist Con.
gresham, in outlining the aims Of the
Peoples Peace Council, which will
meet in Minneapolis September 1, to
act on a resolution asking the Presi,
dent and Congress for a statement of
terms on which the United States will
make peace. The council represents
more than 1,sOO, 900 persons, Berger
said. Many Of them are Socialists.
1--WE don't want a German, or an
English peace; we don't want peace
at any price," Berger continued, 1--WE
don't want a phrase-we want con-
crete terms OF peace. We want 10
know of the President what he is
going to do, and how long he is going
TO have the power he has. We want
the rights of a free press and free
speech"
Berger denied that he had heard
any member Of the council boosting
Senator La Toilette as a candidate for
President In fact, he said he did not
know the organization was boosting
the candidacy OF any one.

IMMEDIATE PEACE
WOULDDLESSALL,,
SAYS MGR. MACKIN

More will be gained by ending thu
war now than in lighting until one
or the other alliances OF nations IL
defeated, according to Mgr. James =.
Mackin, rector Of St Paui's Catholic
Church.
Mgr. Mackin. in a statement today,
declared that neither the Pope nor
anyone else can outline all the terms
of peace that would be acceptable
to all the nations engaged IN this
war. ......e
"All he can do" he continued, "is
to outline some OF the principle is
sues, and the nations can then decide
on the other issues by arbitration.
81 think It were far better that
a peace be made today without further
loss Of life and bloodshed. More
would be gained by ending the war
now than by trying to conquer Ger
many and then dictate terms, for It
must be many. years before Germany
can be completely defeated. and In
demnity claims from a country in the
condition in which Germany would
be when conquered could never be
paid. Who knows whether after
Germany has been conquered, the,al-
lies may then begin nghting among
themselves over the peace settle

going on this time next year. eondi-
tIons will be practically the same a.

CANON DE VRIES CALLS
PEACE UNWISE UNTIL
PRUSSIANISM IS DEAD

There should be no peace until
the Prussian military system is de,
stroyed and the Hohenzollerns are put
out of power"
This was the comment today of
Canon Devries. OF the Episcopal Ca
thedral OF st. Peter and st. Paul, on
the peace proposal of the Pope.
Peace should not be made at pres
ent," he declared. under the proposal
OF the Pope. Peace at the present
time would mean but a renewal of
the conflict in the future, when Ger
many would be even better prepared
than she was this time.
Though not in favor Of war, !
think this war should be waged with
the entire force of the country until
the last bit of German militarism IL
destroyed. Then, and only then, we
shall have a lasting peace"

PSEUDO-OFFICER
PROMOTED SELF
-. ONCE TOO FTEN

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Only the
prompt arrest OF Homer H. Lee, Of
Washington, D. c., prevented his fur
ther rapid self-promotion in the army
He admitted this today in his ce;I in
the Tombs, where, stripped of the in
sigma OF a major, he told his story.
Lee seems to be n pleasant Young
man. He says his only failing is n
fondness for drugs. He acquired the
habit in the far West and brought 1t
East with him. A short while ago he
used the hypodermic needle, deserted
his wife. with 5000 not his own. and
arrived in the Great White Way with
the Illusion that he was a United
States army lieutenant
Lieutenant" Lee, attired in khaki
registered at the Hotel Monterey, on
Upper Broadway. where his modest
bearing made a hit. He promoted him
self over night and soon appeared as
captain.
Captain" Lees credit was not ques-
toned. Fellow Officers were most
kind in obliging him. Lieutenant
Colonel Montgomery of Major Gen
eral Ryan's staff, cashed one of his
drafts for 500 and he received similar
courtesies from others in the serv-
ice
Then Captain Lee awoke one morn
ing to find himself a fuIl-fledged ma
jor.
Major" Lee was invited to a we'll
known club TO dine with several civil
ians. among whom was a Plattsburg
man well versed in military tactics

many and Spain to the verge
OF war, the Pope's mediation
was accepted, and the result
was the protocol OF March =.
1855, which settles every disputed
question to the entire satisfaction of
both nations. In this midnight hour
OF international law and diplomacy.
a gIimmer OF light has been projected
into a dark place by a peace message
from the Pope. who says he is i'm
PEELED by his mission OF peace to
omit nothing, as far as 1t lies in our
power, that can contribute to hasten
the end of these calamities by en-
deavoring to bring the peoples and
their rulers to more moderate resolu-
tions, to the serene deliberation OF
peace, of a just and lasting peace
"In that earnest Christian spirit he
urges the rulers OF the belligerent
peoples to be content with 'reclp-
rocal CondOnation' OF damages and
the evacuation and reciprocal resti-
tuition of occupied territory, includ-
ing Belgium, France and the German
colonies in Africa. With no less
earnestness he pleads for the reduc-
tion Of armaments. for the freedom
OF the seas. for respect for the rights
of small nations. and for the Tnstitu-
tion OF arbitration, according to the
rules to be laid down and penalties
to be imposed on a state which would
refuse either to submit a national
question to arbitration or accept its
decision
Then he adds: The whole world
recognizes that the honor of the
armies OF both sides is safe. Incline
your ears, therefore, to our prayer.
Accept the fraternal invitation which
we send you in the name OF the Di-
vine Redeemer, the Prince of Peace 1"

500 j. S. CITIZENS
NOW ABROAD PUT
OND. c. DRAFTLISI

The number of persons registering
in the District for military service
has been increased by approximately
500 by the action of Provost Marshal
General Crowder in assigning to the
District the names of American citi,
zens within the age limits now resid.
ing in foreign countries.
This number already has been re-
ferred to the District Commissioners
and Secretary Dan Donovan today is
sending out 500 letters to all parts
of the world notifying the registrants
Of the action of the provost marshal,
and asking them IL they desire to be
registered in some other registration
district. Those in Britain, France
are given fifteen days in which to
make reply. Those in Britain, France,
and other countries are given thirty
days. It is believed that practically all
OF them will accept registration as in
the District.
The names of the foreign regis
trants were sent to the War Depart
ment by American consuIs and still
are being received. 1t is probable
that there will be a total of at least
a thousand foreign registrants as
signed to the District altogether.
This will mean that the chances OF
District men being called for the sec
ond draft will be lessened to this eX-
tent.
The cards will be divided equally
among the eleven District boards and
given serial numbers beginning with
the highest number in each division.
They will then be allied, along with
District residents, TO make up such
subsequent draft quotas as may be
necessary. 60

Slips From Camp
To Wed; May Spend
Honeymoon In Jail

BALTIMORE, Aug. 19.-Mars
takes no cognizance OF Dan
Cupid, and when Private William
f. Kelly, OF Company G, Fifth
regiment, quietly slipped off from
the camp at CockeysvilIe and
came to the city to marry Nettie
Lewis, he didn't figure that his
honeymoon would be spent in the
guardhouse.
Yesterday Kelly and his young
er brother, Joseph, who is also a
member OF the regiment and who
accompanied his brother on his
matrimonial trip, were locked up
in the police station, charged with
deserting from the regiment.
Kelly was later taken in charge
by a corporal, and it is just pos
sible that he will spend the next
few days in the guardhouse.

ILLINOIS TO CONTINUE
COAL PRICE INQUIRY

CHICAGO. Aug. 10.-The Illinois
investigation of the coal situation
will continue despite the report from
Washington that President Wilson
was expected to take action on coal
prices early this week.
Hearings are expected to be com
pleted tomorrow. Fuel Director Car
ter expects to announce Tuesday or
Wednesday what he deems a fair
price for coal in Illinois. This may
be a reduction OF 81 from the maxi
mum prices fixed in Washington in
June. These were $2.T5 a ton for
mine run and $3.50 for screened sizes
at the mines.

GOLDEN RULE" PEACE
ONLY DURABLE KIND,
SAYS REV. DR.. WOOD

A stirring reply to the peace ap-
peal recently addressed to the war
ring nations OF the earth by Pope
Benedict XIV was made by the Rev.
Charles Wood, pastor of the Church
of the Covenant, at his morning serv-
ice today.
Declaring that the Pope's appeal
must be heard, the pastor neverthe-
less set forth in his sermon that
permanent peace sis obtainable only as
it is established in justice and in har-
mony with the Golden Rule"
ImpractIcabIe Now.
The Rev. DR.. Woods sermon was
generally regarded today as a refusal
on his part to consider the Pope's
proposal as practicable at this time.
The pastor, however, pointed out that
1t must be answered by the nations
addressed, because 1t is "a voice that
to multitudes of Christians is like a
voice from heaven"
The sermon, in part, follows:
"a voice, that to the multitudes of
Christians is like a voice from heaven,
to the whole Christian world is as
impressive as the deep, mellow tones
of a cathedral bell, has called the
warning nations to peace. Such a call
must be heard. 1t will doubtless be
officially answered in good time.
I'VE have little difficulty in recog-
MIXING the colossal obstacles in the
way, and the pitfalls in what may
seem to our eyes a path OF peace
THE word is hypnotic. 1t may
seem, when skilfully used by design
ing persons, a soporific or an OK
dynia.
Peace is always possible to those
" hose eyes are open to the causes of
disturbances and disquiet, and to
those who are content to drift down
life's stream with no desire TO steer
and no wish to arrive anywhere, and
causes.
"GOIden Rule" Peace.
Permanent peace is obtainable only
as it is established in justice and in
harmony with the Golden Rule.
ANY other peace is like a painted
ship upon a painted ocean. 1t may
temporarily present the appearance OF
the real thing, but the first pun OF
wind will show that ship and sea are
phantom.
Peace can come only when nations
and individuals are delivered from
the chains OF tyranny, only when the
discordant rules of potentates and
people are brought into harmony
with the living love that wills the
blessedness Of others"

DANIELS MAY ASK
GREGORY TO WAR
ON NAVY LEAGUE

The controversy between Secretary
of the Navy Daniels and the Navy
League OF the United States grew
more tense today, following intima-
tions by the Secretary that the De-
partment OF Justice might step into
the cause IL the argument is con-
tinued further.
This intimation was made by Secre
tary Daniels in guarded fashion, but
it was generally believed today that
the Government might invoke the
police powers of the Department OF
Justice to end the argument which
already has embarrassed the naval
administration.
Files New Charges.
At the same time, the Navy League
filed new charges against the Secre-
tary, in the form OF a letter from a
relative of two victims OF the Mare
Island explosion.
This relative, James T. Osborne, OF
Cleveland, informed the Navy League
that the Department had merely in
formed his wife that her mother and
father had been killed on July 0, but
that she was not told how they had
met their death or where they had
been buried.
II was generally regarded today
as a fact that Secretary Daniels had
dealt the Navy League a body blow
when he barred all members from
naval ships and stations.
The Secretary also made plans to-
day for taking over the distribution
work OF the Navy League in supply
inc comforts made bV American
women for the enlisted men of the
service.
81 shall pay not one bit of atten-
tion to any statements made by these
persons" said the Secretary.
The league, in giving out the
Osborne letter. declared 1t regretted
the controversy at this time, but
asserted that the Secretary had
forced it upon the league.
