Washington, Dec 22.-President Will

mediately after the holiday recess recon-
mending enactment of legislation to
meet the transportation situation. Until
it has been received the president yester-
day requested that the Senate interstate
commerce commission withhold making
any investigation as provided under the
Cummins resolution.
Both the president and his legal adyis-
ers are positive of his legal powers to
take over control of the carriers, if, in
his opinion, he deems it advisable.
The Senate committee met in execu-
tive session yesterday to make plans for
the forthcoming investigation. Chair
man Newlands later announced that
subcommittee of himself and Senators
Pomerene, Salisbury, Cummins and
Kellogg had been appointed to formulate
and submit to the interstate commerce

What My Mother
Wrote the President.
by Julie NJ. Lippman of the
Nigilantesl

by Julie NJ. Lippman of the
Vigilantes.)
No doubt there are numberless
German born Americans who have
suffered indescribably since the
outbreak of the war, torn between
their instinct of loyalty to the
ideal "Vaterland" as they con-
ceived it, and the actual fact of it,
in its Prussianized form, as it ex-
lists to-day.
My dear mother, now dead, was
one of these.
At first she roundly denounced
the allies erfdious Albion"
Degenerate France Russia, real
ly tine friend of Germany treacher-
ously led to mobilize across the
border.
II was impossible to make my
mother believe that Germany was
not the poor mderdog bounded
and set upon by pack of raven
ing ours ready to tear her limb
from limb.
Often and often walked at
night to hear her crying, as she
lay in her bed next to mine.
/ entreated my friends and hers
to spare her Not to talk about
the war in her hearing. But |
could not manage to keep her in
ignorance of what was going on.
Day by day she read the papers,
the magazines, the letters that in
those times, still used to arrive
from relatives and other dear ones
on the other side-Germany, Bel
GUM, England, France.
Months passed and years.
Then one dav--to be exact, it
was on the 2Sth of last March, my
mother came to me with sheet of
note paper in her hand, and read:
New York, March 2s, 1917.
Mr.. President:

il would stand for human and nat

We implore you. Mr.. President,
to use The great power vested in
you by the people, for the preser-
walton of American honor and
American rights which are the
honor and the rights of humanity

Hints for Supper Menu.

Supper ought to be the pleasantest
meal of the day. Breakfast is apt to be
hurried and luncheon often finds the
members of the family in different places,
but supper should be happy little fam
lily reunion. The housewife can do much
to make the meal attractive by paying
especial attention to the daintiness of
the table and to the quality of the food.
Unless it is very hot weather, there
should be at least one hot dish, although
it may be as simple as one cares to have
it. There should be main course and a
dessert.
Hot thick soup or chowder makes, in
winter, one of the best main supper
courses. Split peas of the green and
yellow varieties, home-dried whole peas
from the garden and beans of all vari-
cites make splendid soups. They 90 far
toward taking the place of meat. A
ham bone or end of bacon boiled with
these soups gives variety of flavor But
