mats at Berlin Cathedral

Berlin. Jan. IS (by wireless 20 Say
e).-Diyine services held yesterday
in the cathedral in Berlin on the occa-
sion Of the Emperor's birthday were
attended by James w. Gerard, the
United States Ambassador 20 Germany,
and by the diplomatic representatives
here Of Argentina, China, Spain, Den
mark and Norway.
At meeting in the Berlin City Hall,
held TO celebrate the Emperor's birth
day, Adolf Wermuth. che Lord Mayor,
spoke of the economic and social condi-
tions which would prevail after the
war had been brought 10 a close. The
Lord Mayor is quoted by the Overseas
News Agency as saving:
places must be kept open for those
who return and work must be made
pleasant for them. In conjunction with
the bells of peace will ring the bells Of
liberty, for nobody's harm and for
overybody's joy. Liberty means that
disorder is inferior to order. Liberty
opens the way for energies making for
progress, and il also is capable of being
concentrated in common work. Liberty
is order.
"Never has the German nation been
more firmly united with the Emperor
than now, when he appeals 70 US to
prove that the hostility of our enemies
is a grave mistake and that his pure
intentions will be lasting and truthful"

old woman cried, and smote Jerome

too keen, and she resigned 20 give the

By the time the police rescued the

no fit state to deny the statement. He
related as much Of the affair as his
scattered wits could recollect.
Shortly after 4 o'clock, it appears,
the Serkman reception broke up. Ten
minutes later two hundred Of Alexan-

subway
Several rushed by without dropping
tickets before Lisnow could protest,
but he halted the old woman.
"And them" Jerome told the police.

A moment later the ticket seller had
locked himself into his booth and was

IIanotaux Warns Entente Against En-

Paris, Jan. 2s.--Gsbriel Hsnotsux.
onetime Foreign Minister and president
of the Frsnco-Ameriean Commission
for the Development OF Political, Eco
nomic, Literary and Art Relations, has
an article in the Figaro in which,
after attributing President Wilson's
recent speech in the Senate 70 an am
bition to be a mediator between the
belligerents, and his insistencc on an
early peace in order TO satisfy that am
bition, he says:
"The Central Powers also want a
prompt peace-an immediate peace.
Thus an American peace in It's pres
ont character would more or less be
German peace whatever may be the
principles and intentions that may die
tate its character in the future. That
is why I say that the greatest danger
for the Entente Powers and for the
world would be the opening Of nego-
tiatons of any kind prior to the con-
clusion Of an armistice."

A Carranza cavalry officer singled

There were no formalities. The off,
GERS pistol banged four times.
AT the first shot the indiscreet VII

A United States mail wagon went
rumbling over the bridge toward
Juarez when it seemed the riot had
spent itself. Led by q red-headed Joan,
the Mexican women dragged the driver
from his seat, pummelled him and sent
him and his wagon back to the Amer-

down 5000 a day for the racing conces-

from the bridge into the main streets
