Pacificts Campaigning
to Prevent Open War

New York, March 10-The Elmer
gency Peace federation began an or
ganized campaign to keep the United
States out of war with Germany
Prominent pacificists have been sum-
moned here to direct the movement.
Resolutions were adopted at a
preliminary meeting last night de-
claring that the country could not al
low itself to be drawn into the war
nor enter relations of "veiled hostility
likely to lead to war;" The resolu-
tons advocated the appointment of
"jeint high commission to endeavor
to settle the questions at issue between
this country and Germany and urged
President Wilson to summon all the
great powers to discuss plans for
peace.
A message from William J.
Bryan, read at the meeting, gave Mr..
Bryan's opinion that san overwhelm-
ing majority of the American peo-
pie favored keeping Americans off
belligerent ships and would exclude
arms and ammunition from all Am
erican and neutral ships carrying pas
sengers between the United States and
Europe. Mr.. Bryan said he did not
believe the government should arm
vessels carrying munitions.

BERLIN ADVISES
UNITED STATES
obE1c
TO KEEP PEACE


.sfAn. March 1o.-(by Wireless to
SaYxitte. Under the heading OF
..khk91 Dealing" the seni-official
Norddeutsche Allemeine Zeitung pub
fishes the following editorial:
Zone phrase in President Wilson's
inaugural address strikes us. 1t re-
lates to fair dealing and asserts that,
as America desires it for herself, SO
she is ready to claim for all mankind
fair dealing, JUSTICE the freedom to
live, and protection against organized
wrong. That which President Wilson
is ready to claim for all humanity, he
never considers as the right of Ger
many.
"Our whole. policy toward America
from the first day of the war until the
rupture Of diplomatic relations has
been a struggle for fair dealing, JUS
tice. freedom to live and defense
against organized wrong, coming from
a nation which was forced by our en-
vious adversaries to fight. What was
it that echoed across the water? Hard
1y had the worlds conflagration.
which was intended to complete by
force the destruction of Germany,
been kindled, when the voice Of the
organized press assiduously endeavor-
ed to arouse public opinion in the Uni.
ted States against us. President Will
sons Government looked placidly on,
while England gradually abolished the
established laws governing the use of
the seas.
But this was not enough. The
same Government which had accepted
without offering any resistance the in
terruption of the whole trade Of Am
erica with us and our neutral neigh
Dor states, issued protest after pro-
test a. soon as we began to repay
England in identical fashion. This.
although the United States was well
aware of the fact that England in
tended nothing else, with her brutal
disregard Of neutral rights, than slow
~ to undermine, by a war of starva-
ton against women and children, our
forces which she had not succeeded
in, breaking by violence of arms.
President Wilson claims for hu-
mainly the freedom to live. Only to
the German people does he deny the
claim to that right. At the same time
the entire Union was transformed into
one huge factory for the manufacture
Of arms and munitions. Not only were
existing plants enlarged, but others,
which In times OF peace produced
goods destined for peaceful uses, were
transformed in order to produce war
material for Germany's enemies The
entire industry OF people, who were
unaffected by the horrors of the dis
tant European war, was transformed
into an enormous workshop for death.
"And while the United States Gov
eminent confirms this conception of
neutrality, it demands from us respon-
sibility for the lives and safety of
every one Of its citizens who in spite
OF our urgent warning, invades the
war zone at sea-"
The editorial refers to the rejection
of Germany's peace offer by the En-
tente, Germany's announcement of
her plan for unrestricted warfare, the
severance Of diplomatic relations by
the United States, and the suggestion

CUT HOLE IN WALL.

The usual quietude' which prevails
in the vicinity of Greenfield Hill was
rudely broken this morning when
William Banks, postmaster and prop
rietor Of the general store located on
the hill discovered that his estab-
lishment had been burglarized during
the night. The safe was blown open
and the thieves procured in the
Of 5000.
The burglars gained excess to the
building by deliberately cutting
the side of the building by
first boring hole and using a cir
cular saw, hole large enough for a
good sized man to pass through, was
cut and the men not only entered
through this but left by the same
opening in order not to disturb the
burglar alarm connected with Mr..
Banks house.

Ranks Opened TO Men Five Feet One
Inch Tall and Weighing ITO Pounds.
Small men make as good soldiers as
big men in the revised opinion Of the
war department, which has instructed
recruiting stations to open the ranks
of the regular army to men who are
no more than five feet one inch In
height and weigh only 40 pounds.
The order was issued on the basis
Of recommendation made by Surgeon
General Gorgas. who advised that
good men were being kept out by the
minimum height and weight limit of
five feet four inches and 100 pounds.
AS matter of fact. however, re-
cruiting officers had been instructed
not to enforce rigidly the height aud
weight minimum limits, and there are
a considerable number now in the
army who are below the five feet four
requirement.
The new orders will have a wide
effect in national guard recruiting and
probably in selections for the national
army. Regular army standards gov
ern both, services in Il general way.

From log cabin to general Is the lit

Cossack In western Siberia, who later
reared a large family on a pittance
gained as the village clerk, young Kor-
niloff early began rough forest work.
At the age Of nine he received his first
instruction. When barely thirteen he

studies qualified to enter the Siberian
Cadets corps. largely composed Of sons
Of local men of affairs. Thanks again
to his own efforts this indomitable ST.

Of colonel and was intrusted with a
desperate mission--that Of covering the
retreat from Mukden Of one Of General

executed with such resolution and skill
that lie received the st. George cross.
Later he travelled all through Turkes-
