WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-President
Wilson delivered to Congress today an
address considered SO important in its
relations to international affairs that
1t has been transmitted in advance by
the government to possibly every CAPT.
tai in the world.
In ringing definite terms the Presi.
dent declared that nothing shall turn
the United States until the war Is won
and Germany beaten.
All talk Of peace he pronounced GU,
OF the question.
Immediate war against Austria the
President told Congress Is necessary
to meet the anamolous situation the
United States faces In its war with
Germany even though Austria was not
her own mistress and merely a vassa.
of Germany.
The same logic. he said, would lead
to war against Turkey and Bulgaria
but they do not yet. he said, stand ir
the path Of the United States in its
war against Prussian autocracy.
Peace, the President declared, could
come only when the German people
make 1t through rulers the world can
trust, when they make PREPARATION fo-
the destruction their present rulers
have wrought and when Germany re.
cedes from all territory acquired by
conquest.
AS a nation we are united in spirit
and intention, said tho President. "t
pay little heed to those who tell me

who does not? / hear criticism and
the clamor of the Mostly thoughtless
and troublesome. / hear men debate

WITH DRAWAL OF PUNITIVE
FORCE is BEING CONSIDERED
Conferences of the Mexican American
Delegates to be Abandoned.

Washington. Jan. 2 When the
American members of the Mexican
American joint commission had finish
Sd consideration today of General Car
ranza,s reply failing to comply with
their demand that the protocol provid-
ing for withdrawal of the American
troops from Mexico be ratified, there
were indications that efforts to enter
government through the commission
an official admission was made that
CarranZa had refused 20 sign the
protocol The commissioners said
they expected to draft their response
to CarranZa tomorrow.
The failure of the commission to
give to Mexican American relations q
brighter aspect was offset somewhat
by official intinlations that Henry p
Fletcher, confirmed as ambassador to
Mexico almost year ago, was about
to start for his post where American
interests are now represented by
clerk. The report that General Per-
shing's expedition soon would be with
drawn regardless of Carranza's atti-
tude also gained fresh impetus and it
was understood the administration had
this move under very serious considera-
ton Mr.. Fletcher conferred with
President Wilson after today's cabinet
meeting and later referred inquiries as
to whether he would go to Mexico to
President Wilson and Secretary Lans-
ing. No statement was Forthcoming

partment

Lawson Says Washington Does Not
Want an Investigation.
JAPAN is TO ARM
HER MERCHANT SHIPS
Has So Notified the State Department
at Washington.

Washington, Jan. 2.--Japan, through
the embassy here, notified the state
department today Of her intention to
arm her merci ant ships defepsively
and requested Information as TO
whetl/r any special rules had been
made by this government for pass
age of ships so armed through the
Panama canal.
This was the first official informal ton
that Japan intended such action and
was interpreted in some quarters as
indicative of fear of German subpa-
rine operations on a wider scale than
so far attempted. Japan has a large
tonnage passing through the canal and
has suffered seriously from German un-
dersea activities, particularly in the
Mediterranean. While no submarines
have appeared in the Pacific so far,
British naval experts have said that
infornations in the hends of the ad-
miralty and the exploit of the U-53 in
its raid off the New England coast, in
dicate that it is quite possible that
they will operate there later.
There are no canal regulations i'm
posing special restrictions upon yes
sells armed purely for defensive pur-
poses. as the United States holds that
such armBment does not reprive a ship
of her ch1racter as a peaceful mer-
chairman.

Meeting in New York.

New York, Jan. 2.-Thirty five
thousand clothing workers who have
been on strike in this city, agree by
unanimous vote at mass meeting to-

% and provides for a working week OF
IS hours with a wage increase of 81
aweek for taiiors and 50 for cutters.
These terms are said to be virtually
the same which the union made with
individual manufacturers during the
strike although the first demand of the
strikers had been a fiat increase of
50 a week.
It was intimated that strike OF
nearly 1000 members of the Ladies'
Waist and Dress Makers Union had

Again the Russian and Rumanian
forces along the Moldavian and Do
brudja fronts have been compelled to
give ground before the advance of the
Teutonic allies. At several points on
the Moldavian front, however, Petro-
grad reports the dispersal of bands Of
invaders under counter attacks.
The drive of the Austrians mad Ger
mans eastward from the Transylvanian
Alps into Moldavia has given them
additional points of vantage, while
Filed Marshal Won Mackensens army,
operating northward into Moldavia, is

the Russians and Rumanians continue

the Russians have been thrown back
on the town of Matchin, opposite Bra

PROBLEM OF RAISING
ADDITIONAL REVENUE
Administration Leaders Are Reviewing
the Entire Free List.

Washington. Jan. 2-The problem Of
raising additional revenue for the gov
ernment to avoid the threatened deficit
at the end of the next fiscal year has
assumed such proportions that ad-
miniStratiOn leaders in congress are
reviewing the entire free list to con-
slider the advisability of pla cling tariff
duties on other commodities than cof-
fee, rubber and wool and increasing
the present tariff on sugar.
Revenues to be derived from these
four sources will fall far below the sum
needed, unless there is a radical rev1-
inally proposed on them. Estimates
placed before the ways and means
committee by the treasury department
experts are said to show that under a.
maximum tariff of per cent. these
four commodities would yield not more
than s50.o00.00o annually and probably
not more than $45, ,00O, 900. Secretary
McAdoo estimates that approximately
S195, GOO, 600 will have to be raised by
taxation in addition to sums to be de-
rived from proposed bond issues.
The chief remaining articles on the
free list, not elimina ted by the policy
of nom disturbance of such big indus
tries as the iron and steel trade, in
skins, meats, oils. potatoes, silk and
tea. Other articles on the free list
understood to have been virtually
eliminated from consideration are cop
per and IRON ore, leatner ana steel pro-
ducts such as rails. A host of minor
articles also are on the free list and
on these estimates have been furnish
ed the committee, showing the amount
of revenue which small tariff duties
would yield.
Additional sources of revenue under
consideration by the committee in
clude articles on which the internal
revenue bureau collects an excise tax,
notably tobacco.
Wilson will leave the problem to the
ways and means committee and will
not find it necessary to make recon-
mendationS to cover the situation.

DISPATCHES REPORT MURDER
OF GREGORY RAsPUTIN,
Russian Monk, Who Has Exercised
influence Over Emperor Nicholas.

London, Jan. g. 80 a. m-The
morning newspapers in their Petrograd
dispatches today feature stories of the
reported death of Gregory Rasputin
reported, exercised great influence
over Emperor Nicholas. The reports
of the death of Rasputin evidently are
making a stir in Russia not only on
account of his personality, but owing
to allegations that two persons Of ex-
alted rank and a well known former
member of the duma were concerned
in his taking off.
The general assumption in the stories
is that Rasputin was murdered and
some of the accounts say unqualifiedy
that he was.
According to one story, two young
ar1stocratS drove in an automobile the
night of Friday Saturday to a house
on KorohoYaya street, where a, man,
assumed to have been Rasputin, enter
ed the car, which then went to Yussu-
poh Palace, which is owned by the
Young Prince Yussupoff. heir to Cen
era1 Yussupoff, aide to Emperor Mich
olas
Afterwards the police heard shots
and cries coming from the palace
garden Fastening there to make in
quiries they saw blood on the snow il
the garden and were shown the car
cass of a dog, which they We're told had
been shot because it was mad.
Meantime, according to another YER
sion, the body of a murdered man,
wrapped in a fur coat, was placed iri
an automobile. The aristocrats took
seats in the car and drove to Petro-
a.sky Island in the Neva- Investigation
Saturday and Sunday led to the dis
covery of a freshly made hole in the
ice, traces of blood and many foot
prints nearby. Divers descended into
the river and found the body of Ras-
putin.
The names of the persons suspected
as being concerned in the murder are
not published but it was stated that
young Prince Yussupoff after the
events of the week quit Petrograd for
his Crimean estates but that he subse-
quently returned to the capital. Young
YuSspoff is related to the imperial
family by his marriage in 1914 to
Irene, daughter of Grand Duke Alex
ander Mikhailovitch and the Grand
Duchess Xenia, sister of Emperor
Nicholas.

SUIT OVER LEASE OF
STEAMERS HARVARD AND YALE
Was Argued at Newark Yesterday
Brought by Miss Jennie r. Morse.

Newark, N J., Jan, "A suit over
the lease of the steamships Harvard
and Yale to the Pacific Naviga ton
company, field more than four years
ago against the Metropolitan Steam
ship company of New Jersey by Miss
Jennie r. Morse, sister OF Charles w.
Morse, was argued here today.
The chief issue in the suit is based
on the allegation that directors of the
Metropolitan Steamship company, act
ing under pressure of the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad,
leased the two coastwise steamers
then plying between New York and
Boston, to the Pacific Navigation COM
pany, with the alleged purpose OF re-
moving water competition between
those two cities.
