Gossip Busy over Leak"

A leak ordinarily is understood to be
small thing, hut the recent leak in
this capital city actually inundated the
town with excitement.
The charge that somebody in adj
vance Of the presidents peace note told
stock spectators that 1t was to be
expected, has been exploited pretty
thoroughly in the press. Washington
is a gossipy place, and within "a hours
stories were afloat that this man or
that man, the names being given, was
responsible for giving away the admin
istratiOn's secrets and for making some
millions in Wall street for one set of
spectators and losing them for an
other.
In the senate Of the United States
the chairman of the committee on for
eign relations said fatty that he be-
lieved that the leak had come from the
state department and he intimated that
he thought 1t came from employees
holding high and confidential positions.
This statement of Senator Stone set
the gossiDs tongues wagging once
more, but 1t relieved the anxieties of
certain innocent persons not in the
state department whom scandal-loving
Washington had charged by word of
mouth from one person to another
with being responsible for the betrayal
of state secrets.
Ii Is criminal for one charged with
news gathering to jump ut conclusions
IN this town. Men gossip and women
gossip. and you can hear anything that
you want TO or do not want to about
this man or that man, and even about
this woman or that woman, and the
more prominent In official or social life
the person is the more certain II is
that things that ought not to be said
will be said.

Tainted by Republicans, who
charged they did not dare investigate
further the charges of a stock market
leak on President Wilson's peace note,
the house Democrats at Washington
abandoned their plans for closing the
inquiry and recommitted the Wood
resolution TO the rules committee for
further action, without vote.

The allies have stated their terms OF

and Roumania with 'just rcparation"
and the liberation OF Italians, Slavs
Roumanians and Czecbs from foreign
domination. All this is set forth In the
