Street view that peace is near at hand
They have got SO accustomed TO Jug
Cling with billions that they have come
TO believe that war Is a n-ever-ending
adventure.
The men. however. whom President
Wilson gathered around him from the
business world to tread the higher
paths Of craftsmanship have a broader
conception Of world movements.
Their fingers are ever on the inter
national money pulse. They know the
financial plight Germany is in. so that.
when President Wilson sent his peace
arrow In the air. IL was no aimless
flight of fancy. They confidently count
on its making a center shot.
Wall Street is proud Of the men it
contributed TO the Presidents personal
cabinet.
Serving without pay. they have dem
onstrated that the financial district is
not The hive of money grubbers the
popular mind has painted.
Eugene Meyer, Jr, is a typical ex-
araple. One Of the richest members Of
the New York Stock Exchange. and al
ways classed as a Republican. he closed
OUT his business which netted him last
year over a million dollars profit TO
N&ANN az *AAE AAGlfR&AA - NAAG EO#EA AAiN
his expert knowledge OF the copper in
dustry.
His family is connected with one OF
the oldest banking houses in France
and It would be no surprise in Wall
street if it later transpired that MI.
Meyer was booked in the presidents
min for a high diplomatic post.
Would Suit France and Chill. .
He has an intimate knowledge Of
French finance and politics. and when
it comes TO the delicate work of peace
negotiating. no more capable citizen
could be found to represent the inter
ests of this country. France would wei
come him 10 a place ia the diplomatic
council; and the Republic of Chili where
his former partners. the G-uggenheims.
have immense mining concessions
would feel that her intimate trade re-
lations with this country were in safe
hands.
Looked at from an international
standpoint. Mr.. Meyer fits nicely into
the diplomatic frame his friends have
picked out for him.

with 103.4r4 tons the previous year and
but 66.6o3 tons in 1914. Most Of this

SAYS HOSPITAL
SHIPS CARRIED |
BIC armament

Berlin, Feb. 1-(By wireless to the
Associated Press, via Sayville-The
memorandum Of the German govern
ment handed to the American and
other embassies on Monday, giving
notification that hospital ships had
been barred from their privileges in
the waters south of Great Britain,
was accompanied by 23 affidavits and
statements intended to establish the
presence of armament on board hos
pital ships and their use to convey
troops and munitions. These include
statements by eye witnesses charging
violations Of International usage in
this connection. The British hos
pital ships Britannia and Aquatania
are named in these documents as
among those that had carried troops
Oficial circles point out that Ger
many has precedents for her action,
citing the capture and sale by the
British Of a German hospital ship
which was cruising in the hope of
picking up survivors after a naval en-
gagement in the North sea, and an
announcement by Russia that she
would not respect Turkish or Bulgar-
ian hospital ships In the Black sea.

Halliday, she said.> meant he was to
be tipped in advance and given an
opportunity to leave town. His friend
at the local headquarters would warn
him by simply saying, ''the man from
Massa chusetts has arrived"
Halliday was going to blame the
fire on everybody he owed money. to,
according to his wife.
First he was going to blame Mr..
Baker, painter who owed him
money. Next he was going to blame
! Mr.. McCauley, who stopped him from
getting a commission. Then it was
Harmon Bros. and the Pardy Co., to
whom he owed money. He said next
he would accuse Bemis, q painter.
who worked for him. He made ar
rangements to leave town and turned
over to me orders on insurance COM

Under cross examination she again
demanded she be given the right to
tell why she testified and closed her
testimony in a dramatic manner. She
had gone to the Jail to see him and
he met her "lovingly.' He wanted
her to get Romero to run away She
said if he done wrong he should stay
and take his medicine"
Then he wanted her to see Attorney
Shapiro and tell him Romero had in

and saw her lawyer. Then came
the startling accusation of the trial.
He circulated stories and said T.

with Frank (ROmerO0 and take a
boat to South America with this boy
He was going to say Romero set the
fire.. He would be blamed and sent
over the river. I then intended to

extension Of the right Of blockade
which belligerents have in interna-
tional law against neutrals. It greatly
emphasizes the necessity for hasten

''It also takes away the fattering

from a European war that we should
decline to enter a world league to en-
force peace Such a league in the

protection as to us our leadership
and participation in it are necessary
to its formation and wise guidance. It
is our duty to ourselves and to the
world to help it protect itself against
the horrors Of another war;
Mr.. Taft was speaking on the sub
ject OF world league to enforce
peace.
