CITY ID CONTINUE ID
 APPROPRIATE MONEY FROM GENERAL FUND
Ward Says Outcome of Tax Election Will Not Cause City to Stop Appropri-
 atiOns for Education

The appropriation from the citys gen. eral fund for educational purposes is to be continued. regardless of the result of the S-mill school tax amendment, and will be continued after the income from the special tax schall become effective, according to statement issued by George B. Ward, president of the city commis- sion, in answer to query from Horace c. Wilkinson. This tax. in the event that it should carry will not become effective until 191S MT. Ward points out, and by that time the probability is that the school system will have grown until it will require the aid of the city just as much as it does at the present under existing circumstances.
 The statement of MT. Ward came in response to an inquiry addressed to the commission by Horace C. Wilkinson, who asked for information as to the city s position on the impending election. Tt is reported he wrote, that if the 3-mill tax carries the city will discontinue the present appropriation to the public schools out of the general fund. In other words, the school tax obtained under the 3-mll levy will be used for school purposes. but that the appropriation the city now makes to the public schools will be dis continued, and thereby the school tax will be used as an indirect means of increas- ing the city's general fund.-"
 "Whatever receipts come in from this tax will be applied exclusively to edu- cational purposes, and not diverted in any manner whatever" was the reply MT Ward returned. T have no hesitancy in sayinS,' he continued, that were my advice followed, the same steady, pro- gressive backing and support of the school system from the general fund would pre- vail in the future as in the past.
 In this letter MT. Ward declares that he represents the sentiment of the pres ent city government, and that there has been no thought of withdrawing the sup port the city at this time is extending 10 the public school system. The returns from the 3-mll tax will not be available for school purposes for more than one year from this date, and by that time the same process of outgrowing the school ter equipment
 There has been no idea at any time of boosting the citys general fund at the expense of the public school system, v said MT. Ward, and rumors to that eff feet are of the same nature as the ru- nor which always arises on the eve of elections. There will always be the need of the city's help in maintaining the public school system from the general fund.- and, in my opinion, that support will always be forthcoming, regardless of the condition of the city treasury, so long as there is any general fund to draw upon.'

GERMAN COMMENT
 ON PEACE ADDRESS
 IS NOT OPTIMISTIC
Only One Paper, However, Thinks Wilson Inclined to Be Anti-TeutOnic
 in His Efforts

Berlin, January 24.-(Via Wireless to Sayville.)-The newspapers com ment on President Wilson's speech and virtually all of them appreciate the Presidents, sincerity and exalted hu- manitarian spirit" Thus the conserva- tive Kreuz zeitung calls the message 'an appeal to the conscience of na- tions"
 The Kreuz Zeitung says that Ger many, having maintained peace for more than 40 years and having now stretched out its hand for peace, can therefore accept the appeal. It, how ever, considers it doubtful whether Russia will accept the message in the same spirit, as alien races there have

---------- ADJUSTMENTS
At the Jefferson

A large house greeted "It Pays to Advertise when the farce appeared at the Jefferson theatre last night for the second successive year The farce. with its number of surprises in ac- ticn, its rapid fire comedy and witty lines, proved highly diverting, all though the cast did not realize the full potentialities of the play.
 The commercial romance of how the young son of the soap baron, Cyrus Martin. converted his old and conser- vative father into the belief that ad- vertising was worth while by exploit ing "13 Soap; It's Unluckv for Dirt was well received. Despite the fact that the cast "overacted" at times, the play produced many genuine hearty laughs and was well received
 Cliff Norman, as Ellery Clark, a pampered and indulged son of the rich, was very clever in his part, while " H. MacDougall, as Cyrus Mar tin, the soap king" was decidedly convincing in the role. Ethel Martin, as Confess de Baurien, an adven- turess, was a sprightly little figure
 The other members of the company, including Beatrice Worth, as the lead ing lady, and Donald Macleod. as the central figure of the farce, were ac- ceptable, as were the other minor characters
 Roi Cooper Megrue constructed a decidedly attractive farce in Tt Pays to Advertise" and, besides affording clversion to the audience, marshalled some rather interesting figures as to how much the principal companies spend for advertising their products mere IS love story interwoven with the major action, and this added to the whole effect of the farce

ALREADY REJECTED

According to the Lokal Anzeieer, President Wilson apparently over looked the fact that a large number or the ideas outlined in his address had already been rejected by the en- tente In its last note in reply to the United States.
 mus, says the paper, "the shade or King Edward would protest against the Idea Of abandoning the English principle of the balance of power and or aggressive coalitions and would equally protest against the neutrali- cation of the important thoroughfarea or the sea. such as the Strait of Gibraltar, the Suez canal and the Eng fish channel"
 The Lokal Anzeiger appreciates "the humanitarian spirit of the man. but asks whether 1t will be able to in- fluence the world at the moment when 10 states. who, against the promise given to MT. Wilson, plan our anni- hilation prepare a terrible common at tack that is intended to accomplish this annihilation."
 CANNON ONLY LANGUAGE
 "At the present moment" it con tlnues, "the only language which seems appropriate is that of cannon, since 1t is our enemies who want to understand no other language
 The Vossische Zeitung points out that President Wilson's ideas no doubt will find an echo in the country where the philosopher Kent wrote his fa- nous book on Perpetual Peace" It says that his ideas on freedom include the rejection of the balance of power ana the rejection of aggressive coali- tons and are identical with it's prin ciples underlying the German policy for a long time
 The paper, however, contends that President Wilson's statement does not appreciate the sincere endeavors of the central powers to terminate the Was ana makes no mention of the dissent ing answer given by the entente to 1ermanys peace offer and asks
