American Press Praised for Patriotism

He added that he felt confident congress would give the President the great powers necessary to successful conduct of the war.
 In expressing the missions grati tude for the reception given them the foreign minister spoke of his re gret of being unable to visit many other cities and voiced the hope that it could be done at a later and hap pier time. To the correspondents themselves and the American press generally he paid tribute for their accuracy and patriotic principles"
 Mir Balfour called on President Wilson at the White House today for probably the last time during the visit of the mission. The two states men have established a real personal friendship
 Winds Up Affairs
 The mission spent the day in wind ing up its affairs and making ready to leave for Canada. Everything has been accomplished that can be until final legislation is passed by congress and the mission is able to leave with a clean slate after nearly six weeks on American soil.

thrust down. "Powder!" screams the head. Again the train of bags Is in motion. Thud-thud . thud. They are rolled and swung, pushed and thrown through series of troughs and doors and traps. Ono can imagine their sigh of relief as they nestle in the warm darkness be- tween shell and breech. But only for moment are they content-then the world ends at least, so far as those four bags are concerned.
 A score of places might the silk covering have been torn A miss step. an inch of awkwardness or overbalance, and hundredweight or deadly explosive goes scattering through the trunks and passageways filled as they are with hot motors, and human flesh and blood. Safety precautions require water tuos for such emergencies; but bit of a rip in the cloth of a bag may put the whole shebang beyond the help of water.
 The silk Is of a coarse pongee tex ture. Except a single small hole the bags are finished entirely before go- ing to the powder house for filling. Ends are doubled and quilted with heavy handling straps sewed down the sides. Lengthwise flaps with silk cord lacings are put on last in order to tighten the bag as the powder gradually arranges itself more densely and to take up the stretch of ma terial. An ignition charge of black powder is sewed in one end which Is dyed red for identification.
 Last of all the bag is stenciled and tagged. Its size, number, and kind of powder are painted on in big let ters. A pasteboard tag slipped under the lacings carries all ballistic data. which Is the pedigree of that par ticular brand of powder. Finally are stamped the initials of the Inspector, who sired 1t, as 1t were. His identity Is really most important for then one knows against whom a kick may be registered when one misses the tar- get.
 The Inspector. 1t Is related. once palmed off some rotten powder on the Fleet-not entirely his fault, but he did: and he gloated. For his initials blurred on the tag. It turned out. though, that of doIen inspect ors' initials his were the only ones which did blur. So he was ragged. and he suffered: and officially he died. 'Sic semper tyrannisi

THE STRENGTH OF A RECORD.

Interest of the world is centered
 upon the 1nter-Allied War Conference
 which meets today at Versailles.
 From that conference will come some definite idea of how the war is to be conducted, now that the United States
 ligerent. The American people will
 watch with keen eyes the activities of
 their representatives at the council
 table
 Although our part in active warfare
 has not assumed the proportions 1t
 will attain at 8 later date. although
 our mon have not as yet been thrown
 in full force upon the battle lines of
 France, the American government has lent nightly to the strength of the
 allied nations. To date we have con-
 tributed munitions of war, and money.
 and foodstuffs. and clothing, and
 ships, and everything necessary to
 carry on the gigantic campaign. Our
 men stand ready to man the guns
 those of them who are already on for
 etgn soil-and others await the chance
 to take active part in the struggle. So tho United States goes into this
 conference In the full strength and glory of it's powerful determination to
 make the world safe for de- mocracy. The petty politics of Eu- rope have nc bearing on the case so far as we are concerned. Matters that might interest England and France and Italy and other countries concerned. so far as distribution of the spells is concerned. have no place ir the program outlined at Washington, the plan that will be presented by our diplomatic and military men at Yer sailles.
 Never in the history of the United States has this country entered a war for dominion, for conquest. No sell fish motives have ever prompted Q l war action on the part of our people l This is all strange to Europe. even l that part of Europe which lies out side the pale of German territory yet 1t is true, and because 1t is true l will it play an important part in the conference which opens today and from which must come a clarified plan of action for all those nations fighting the common enemy.

Cut out all banquets, city fathers, Chamber of Commerce, societies and everything. cut out the Christmas white way. When I was a kid we had just as good Christmas times without more Illuminating than afforded by oil lamps. We need not go back to that but we can dispense with white ways. Who do they bene- fit anyway? Merchants,-while house. wives grope around with lamps and candles to conserve. It makes you feel like saying to Harlem with economiz- ing, don't 1t?
