the White House on March 8, but
they haven't given the job OF bring

Secretary Alvin G. Belt, Of the In

promised the honor of holding the
latter position to a Washingtonian,
but he has not accepted 1T.
A rather elderly, tall man, with a
distinctively military appearance,
came into inaugural headquarters to-
day and without ceremony or preface,
told Mr.. Belt that he would like to
lead the procession.

OSSIPEE. N. H, Jan. 5-The de

Small May Take stand.
Denial of the many charges made
by the State will take up most of the
time. The case will hinge largely
upon whether Mrs. Small was living
when Small left for Boston on the
day of the murder.
Defense attorneys have stated that
Small himself may take the stand
but this will depend largely upon
how the case goes.

Allies Await Foes Supreme Of
fensive on West Next
Month.

LONDON. Jan. 5-.Germany is about
to attempt another great offensive on
the western front. in the view Of the
allies.
The same desperate need Of peace
which the allies believe inspired the
German proposal, is thought. now that
those peace pleas have been rejected,
to be behind a gigantic thrust on the
west. designed as Germany's supreme
effort.
Dispatches from Paris indicated gen.
eral belief there that the German blow
was now being prepared. Gustave

struck in February. lie Figaro and
LIE Temps agree that push" Is i'm
pending, but think it will come later in
the year.
Forced BY Public Opinion.
With German public opinion now
believed to be dangerously near break
ing under the suffering of food priva-
lions, and the German government is
thought to realize that IL must be fed
on some great military attempt at a
victory against Germany's major foes.
The Roumanian victory, although
hailed as another evidence Of German
invincibiIity, has failed to evoke the
German public enthusiasm expected,
because of the realization of Rou-
Imania's military weakness. According
to information here German official
dom is realizing that 1t must make
some move to Offset French successes
at Verdun, and British power mani
tested last summer.
But IL Germany is preparing an
other offensive she will find the allies
ready. Speeding up of all branches
has been the first duty OF the new
Lloyd-George ministry.
London Awaits Reply.
London was waiting today publica-
ton of the allies reply to President
Wilson's peace suggestion The note
itself may be handed the American
ambassador at Paris today. Arrange
ments for simultaneous publication
from Washington and the allied CAPT
tails. probably will delay its text be-
coming known until early next week.
In discussion of the reply note to-
day 1t was reported that the concrete
aims which the allies would specify
would include banning of the Turk
from Europe and opening Of the
straits to Russia. This latter aim has
already been formally announced by
Russia.
Unofficial but semi-authoritative

ideals with certain concrete terms

sion might be possible. has added in

PLAN U. S. EXHIBIT
FOR INAUGURATION
Chief Clerks Arrange for Show.
ing of Governments Work
to Visitors.

Tentative plans for an exhibit from
each of the Government Departments,
to be shown here during the week
of Inauguration, were discussed today
by a committee composed of the chief
clerks of the various departments.
The committee met in the office of
the chief clerk OF the Treasury De
partment.
The plans, twas stated, are only
tentative, as the exhibit will depend
entirely upon the passage of the
Tinkham resolution, which will pro-
vide for the exhibition here 70 the
work Of the departments.
As the Tinkham resolution carries
with II no appropriation, the question
of maintaining an exhibit without in
curing any expense, took up a large
part OF the time in the discussion to
day.
No Additional Expense.
1t was generally conceded that a
successful departmental exhibit can
be maintained without additional ex
pense to the Government, because
each department can use its OWE
means Of transportation, can show
exhibits they have heretofore main
tanned, and can detail clerks to dem
onstrate the various lines of work
the departments are carrying on.
Trucks belonging to the Depart
ment OF the Interior, for instance, can
be put into use transporting the ex-
hibits to the places where they will
be shown to the visitors during in.
auguration week.
I'VE want to put all the things
worth seeing In the department in one
place." said a member of the COM
mittee this morning. "in order that
the visitor won't have to walk his
legs or going from one building to
the other. For instance, we would
like to have a plate printing press
from the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, samples of money from the
Treasury Department, and exhibits OF
preventive measures from the Public
Health Service. This would make a
very interesting thing for the people
from Other. parts of the country tc
see. 1t would enable them to watch
what the Government is doing"
Two places for holding the exhibit
were mentioned. IL probably Will be
either In the National Museum, n
Tenth and B streets southwest, or ir
the new Interior Department build
ing.
A committee was appointed to con
fer with the Federation Of Citizens
Associations in the near future anc
discuss the best way for the depart
ments to cooperate with the citizens
OF Washington in making the ex
hibits a success, both for Washing
tontans and for the visitors here dur
ing inauguration week.
The members of the committee are
z. ]. Ayers, chief clerk OF the Interior
Department, chairman: F. d. Owen
from the office of the superintendent
OF public buildings and grounds, anC
Robert Watson, chief clerk of the
Department OF Labor.
Representatives from the State so
cieties in Washington will meet to
night in the board room of the Dis
| trict building. 1t is expected the,
will discuss plans concerning the bes
way of cooperating With the Govern
ment heads in showing departments
exhibits, and also take under consid
Grafton plans for entertaining tn,
visitor sfrom their home States. VIII,

fone the note was sent that the crash

no effect on the market. 1t had to

William B. Hibbs, head Of the brok-
erage firm of William B. Hibbs & Co.,
which was specifically requested by
the Rules Committee to preserve its
records for the eight days preceding
the sending of the note and i've days
afterward, said:
"Our books are open to any author
lied person who wishes to inspect
them. We will produce all the rec
ords in our office, we have absolutely
nothing to hide and will cooperate
with the committee and Congress in
finding out anything 1t wishes to
learn about the stock market before
and after the peace note was sent.
Sure Of Assistances
T am quite sure all the brokers in
Washington will give every assis-
lance they can. OF course. there are
certain confidential phases Of the
stock brokerage business which we
would not like to disclose. do not
mean by that anything referring to
the leak, but private financial
matters"
In all the other brokerage offices

surances of aid to the rules committee
and Congress were given. Practically
ali the local brokers expressed the
opinion that the note had little or
nothing to do with the drop in the
market.

LONDON REPORTS DENIED
Argentina and Brazil Have Not Re-

BUENOS AIRES. Jan. 6.-Intima-
tons from London that Argentina and
Brazil have refused TO indorse Presi-
dent Wilson's peace note to European
belligerents were denied today on the
highest authority.
Dispatches from Brazil asserted
that the expression OF disappfoval of
the peace note reported from Secre-
tary of State Barbosas were purely
personal and did not seek to 'typify
the Brazilian governments attitude.
Officially 1t was admitted here to-
day that lack of joint action by South
American governments probably viii
prevent q formal Endorsement of the
American note unless further devel-
opments facilitate such q step.
