 NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Emphatic declaration by one member Of the house rules committee that there was a leak" on President Wilson's recent peace note, and promise by another that he would insist that the congress sional inquiry extend to alleged leaks" on presidential messages generally, came tonight while plans were being made for resumption tomorrow of the hearing here. N
 Representative Bennett, Republican, of New York. declared that there was a leak" He originally made this decla- ration at a private dinner last night and today when a Teak" developed on his speech he issued a written state mept about it.
 T said that there was a leak, the statement read, that people in Wall Street knew of it (the presidents peace message) forty eight Hours be- fore the time it was released for pub licatiOn, and that l had in my pocket at the time paper showing that some one had the foresight to sell 10000 shares of Steel while it was rising"
 Representative Chiperfield of Illinois, Republican, who last week criticized MT. Whipple's conduct of the eXamina- tiOn of a witness, announced he would demand an inquiry into leaks on other presidential messages
 He said
 q think we should go back to the opening of congress about leaks. We should learn if there was leak on the message last week"
 Chiperfield also intimated that he would have furthep objections to the conduct of the inquiry if it is not con- fined more closely to Teak" rumors. He is opposed to Investigating methods of the stock exchange.
 Rumors of division in the committee along party lines as to the conduct of the hearings are vigorously denied by both sides,

VIENNA, Jan. 28.-(Via LUndOn.)- Heavy snows and intense cold have resulted in a checking, and at various points total cessation of the military operations on all the war fronts where Adstro- Hungarian troops are engaged. Bl1zzards prevail in east Galicia Buko- wina, the wooded Carpathians and Ru- mania. The snow is several feet deep.
 The temperatures are the lowest known in years, which is true also of the northern sectors of the Italian front and the Balkans.

TEUTONS WANT
 IMMEDIATE PEACE
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

PARIS, Jan. 2S.-Gabriel HanotauX. one time foreign minister and president of the French American commission for the development of political econo- mical, literary and art relations, has an article in the Figaro in which, after attributing President Wilson's recent speech in the senate to an ambition to be mediator between the belligerents and his insistence on an early peace in order to satisfy that ambition, says:
 ''The central powers also want prompt peace-an immediate peace But an American peace in it's present character would be more or less a German peace whatever may be the principle and intentions that may dc- tate it's character in the future. < F * That is why l say that the greatest danger for the entente powers and for the world would be the opening of ne- gotiations of any kind prior to the con- clusiOn of an armistice. An armistice first-an armistice with all the neces- sary pledges-that is the A B C of sub stantial pacification."

 Preparations for withdrawal have been going on for some time, it was admitted today, with the calling in of outposts and the taking of steps to protect friendly Chinese and Mormons from punishment by the Mexicans. No announcement could be made, it was added. before the actual march was un
 der way, as it was feared some unex-
 pected event might come up which
 would require a further delay and em-
 barrassing explanations to South American countries which have been
 watching every step in the critical
 situation with the utmost interest A combination of reasons are given unofficially for the withdrawal decis- ion. First was the impracticability of actually capturing Villa,' as the ob- , ject of the expedition was explained to be in a White House statement is | sued at the time the expedition was | sent in. Then, with the border ap- l parently safe, the demand for the re- turn of the state troops has become more and more pressing.
 l Moreover, Pershings present location
 was recognized as d source of military weakness, both in the face of possi-
 tIe attacks on his long Hanks and also | in\the eventuality of a large eXpedi- l tion into Mexico
 l Probably more decisive than all these
 reasons. however. was the belief that ! the situation would never be solved
 one way or another so long as Persh ] ing stayed, and that it would be best
 to withdraw all American soldiers
 from the stricken country in order tc
 remove any American or anti-Ameri- can issue. In other words, there is 2 disposition to leave Mexico to worl out its own salvation without inter ference, and even to give Carranza { diplomatic victory in the hope that il

 President Wilson will go to the capi tol again tomorrow for conference with senate and house leaders in furth- CT efforts to speed up the legislative program. He expects to remain there most of the afternoon.
 The president considers the railroad bill to prevent strikes the most inn portant part of his program, and it was said today, he will insist that legislation along the general line of his recommendations on the railroad ques- tion be adopted.

terests of that country but to take care of the interests of Germany.
 The German government in its communication (note to the American governmenD then takes up the matter of the financial burden which this state of affairs imposes upon Belgium. It is sufficient to recall briefly that Germany has wilfully disregarded all it's obligations toward that occupied country. It was the strict duty of Germany to feed the population. How ever. had it not been for the initiative and good will of citizens of the United States, the Belgian population would today be dead from starvation.
 The legation of the king recalls also that Belgium (which even according to what Germany herself says, is for the moment without commerce and with out industry is subjected to a war tax amounting to eight million dollars Der month (more than ten times the ordinary taxes in time of peace) that she has paid this tax since the begin ming of the occupation of her territory, and that, in addition, she has beer subjected to acquisitions of all kinds which Germany has imposed upon her and which have made a desert of cer- tain parts of this unfortunate country.
 When Germany had thus reduced to idleness a large number of workmen, she decided to export them into Ger many in order to liberate an equal number of German worknen who would rejoin the German army in the field"
 Defending the refusal of his coun- trymen to labor voluntarily for the Germans, the minister said:
 ''Is there right more sacred than that of refusing to contribute to the augmentation of the effectiveness of armed forces of the enemy? This is not only a right-it is a strict and im-
 perative duty for every good citizen; and the legation of the king is glad to
 be able to state that, contrary to the untrue declaration of the German gov ernment, very few Belgian workmen have succumbed to the temptations of German corruption; nearly every one of them has chosen rather the harsh treatment, the privations, the suffer ing. which he knew would be his lot, rather than aid Germany in her strug- ] gle against his brothers"
