P 8. Franklin. President of the

ing when any OF the four ships might

shown no inclination to arm the
American liners. and there was no
chance OF their sailing unless guns
were supplied.
Regarding the report that the ves-
sells are to be held as auxiliary cruis-
ers in the event of war, there has
been no talk of such IA contingency,
Mr.. Franklin said.
1t Is In consequence of these unset
tied conditions that the cargoes are
to be discharged. The majority OF
tho crew OF the St Louis Is still
aboard the ship.
The American Line, Il was said,
does not propose TO make warehouses

clared tho American liners will be
taken over by the navy, which Ia the
best reason given for their being tied

discussed to-day by +. A. Wilcox. met
alurigcal engineer OF the United States
Bureau OF Mines, before the one hun
dred and fourteenth meeting OF the
American Institute Of Mining Engineers
at the Engineering Building, No, 20
West Thirty-ninth Street. Because OF
the lack OF deposits Of manganese ore
in United States territory the closing
og the seas to United states freight
traffic by war would make the manu-
facture Of good steel here impossible
Mr.. Wilcox suggested two remedies
the boarding OF manganese. which would
tie up a vast supply OF capital, or the
development OF a substitute for the
present manganese alloy, The quality
OF lately manufactured steel, Mr.. WIN
cox said, was reported TO be brittle and
inferior because Of scarcity OF man

RE OUTBREAKS AGAINST
PUSHCART MEN.

There was sporadic disorder all over
the lower cast side during the day and
most OF It was malicious in character.
A thin. gaunt and shabby push cart
peddler stopped In front of No. l5l
Orchard street with cart load OF
onions. Within i've minutes n score
OF women surrounded tho cart, over
turned It. scattered tho onions over
the street, scratched the pushcart
mans face and drove him of the
block. Children threw tho onions at
each other and at windows and street
lights.
In front OF No. 145 Orchard Street
an old woman who attempted to buy
some potatoes was set upon by other
women and beaten. Many women
roamcd the streets with cans OF kero-
some under thcir shawls and during
tho day they succeeded in spouing a
lot OF good food in various stores and
on push carts and street stands.
A crowd OF women stormed the
pushcart market at Thatford and Bel
mont Avenues In the Brownsville,
Brooklyn, Ghetto this afternoon, up
setting carts and seeking 10 damage
merchandise. Patrolm1n Charles Mo-
renberg OF the Miller Avenue Station
attempted TO protect the pushcart
men and was oyerpOwered by tho
women, who tore on his coat and
ripped his cap into shreds. Moren-
berg blew his whistle and other po-
licemen rushed In and subducd tho
riot. Four women were arrested,
charged with disorderly conduct.

outbreak OF yesterday.
Before marching to the city Hall
Marie & had urged her followers
TO camp on the steps until they
starved unless they got relief from
the high food prices.
Before nc met tho cast side women
Mayor Mitchell said: 81 think most
people agree that ono way TO reduce
tho high cost Of food IS by the crea-
tlon OF terminal markets. George W.
Perkins and his committee are now
making n drive for egislatlon-both
city and state, and indeed inter
State. looking toward the establish
ment OF such markets. That seems
to be n much better way OF striking
at the high cost OF living than the
mere creation OF the municipal retail
markets advocated by Borough Pres =
idcnt Marks. Personally. though. I
have always been in favor OF the re-
tail markets as affording some meas
urc OF relief"

CHIEF PROPOSALS IN WILSON PLAN FOR WORLD PEACE
 LEAGUE.

Washington, Jan 23-President q World Peace League, as outlinea in his address to the senate ycstcrr day afternoon, were contained in the closing paragraphs as follows.
 'I am proposing, as it were, that the nations should with one accord adopt the doctrine of President Monroe as the doctrine of the world: That no nation should seek to ex tend it's policy over another nation of people, but that every people should be left free to determine it's opment, unhindcred, unthreatened, unafraid, the little along with the great and powerful.
 ''I am proposing that all nations henccforth avoid entangling al dances which would draw them in to competitions of power, catch them in net of intrigue and self ish rivaly. and disturb their own affairs with influences intruded ~~>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ running broad jump, and 120 yard hurdles
 The ParagOuld Chamber, of Com mer of Commerce will offer suita ble prizes for the winners i'm the contests. Prizes for the winners in the literary contests will probably be gold medal to the winner of first place and silver medal to the winner of second place in each of the five contests. Similar prizes will be offered to the individual winners in the track events and in addition to the school winning the most points in the meet a large lov- ing cup will be awarded,
 It is expected that these contests draw large crowds of people here from this section of Arkansas and Southeast Missouri, and Paragould is indeed fortunate in getting the meet the first time it is held.
 The local school authorities will begin at once to make preparation for the entertainment of the visit ing scholo people who will be here at above mentioned date and the hearty cooperation of the entire citizenship is earnestly desired that the meet may be highly successful.

ANXIOUS TO HEAR HOW PEACE SUGGESTIONS
 ARE RECEIVED IN EUROPE

Washington, Jan 23.-Upon the Liberals" of the world-friends of humanity and not individuals who hold temporary powerdepends the problem of whether peace in Europe is to be based upon equality, and whet the future is to be rendered safe from aggression This was regarded today the connection which prompted President Wilson to deliver his address in the senate. The chief executive is today anxousy awaiting word from abroad to find ho whs ideas have been re- ceved by the bellgerents
 President Wilson anticipates objections, it has been learned but feels that after his message has had time to seep into the minds of the and people cerned it will appeal to them strongly. It is be-
 eved that the message will add materially to the peace movement The frank admission that he is speaking for the silent mass of mankind everywhere which has been unable to speak it's heart shows it is believed where the President expects to get his support.
