Ambassador to Peru
Asked by Lansing
Secretary of State Would Raise
Diplomatic Rank of the
Latin Country

With the approval of President Will
son, Secretary Lansing has asked Con-
gress to raise the American Legation
at Lima, Peru, to the rank of embassy.
Peru has signified a desire to appoint
an ambassador to the United States
and the Administration wishes to
agree.
In letter to Chairman Hitchcock of
the Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, Secretary Lansing said:
IF it should be the pleasure of Con-
gress to grant this authority, which I
strongly urge, the two principal coun-
tries on the Atlantic side and the two
principal countries on the Pacific side
of South America would be represent
ed in the United States by ambassa-
doris and the United States would like
wise be represented by ambassadors at
their capitals.
Peru has always shown friendly
disposition toward the United States,
and should be entitled to every consid-
Grafton at this time, since she aligned
herself definitely with the United
States in the war, and has in the last
few months given over to the United
States under charter the German YES
sells which were sheltered in Peruvian
ports.
"The matter has been given careful
consideration, both by the President
and me, and we are agreed that it
would be desirable to have an exchange
of ambassadors between the United
States and Peru"

Porto Ricans Petition
Wilson for Freedom
University Students Argue
Island Army Fought i'm Ex-
pectation of independence

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Dec. THE
students Of the University of Porto
RICO have presented petition to the
Legislature asking it to amend the
memorial to President Wilson and the
American Congress so as to demand
complete independence as the only
status compatible with the ideals and
interests of Porto Rico.
Most of the petitioners were mus
tered out Of the Students Army Train
ing Corps this week and represent
some of the most prominent families
of the island. One, Antoniu Barcelo,
jr., is the son of the Unionist president
of the Senate.
The petition states that the action
of the students is based on Presi-
dent Wilson's speeches promising self
determination to small nations.
A dispatch from San Juan under date
of December said 4 memorial to Pres
ldent Wilson, requesting complete self
government for Porto Rico, had been
introduced in the lower house of the
Legislature. The memorial express ed
the belief that Porto Ricans had dem
onstratcd their capacltv for self-gov-
ernmcnt and said the Porto Rican SOL
diers had cheertu'ly and bravely left
their homes to fight for democracy in
the belief that when the war was over
and the victory won. Porto Rico would
be given the same freedom for which
it fought

France Needs Rail Cars


PARIS, Dec. 1.-THE regions of
France invaded by the Germans and
recently reclaimed are in serious need
Of rolling stock for the railways, the
Minister Of Public Works. Albert Cla-
vclle reports. In this connection the
'Matin" speaks of the extraordinary
slowness with which the delivery of
German railway material is being car
ried out. The time limit fixed by the
armistice for its being turned over is
fast approaching the newspaper notes
but neither locomotives nor cars have
begun to become available for use on
the French railway systems.
Germany is pleading her own dis
tress in asking for the easing of the
armistice terms, it is noted, while the
evidence tends to show that there is, in
fact. no food crisis anywhere in Ger
many.

movement Of American troops began at
the end of March, when we realized
That 1T was necessary to do what we
could with British bottoms to supple

mission to the United States with the
object of seeing the fitting out facilities

tor American troopships they were
utilized to the maximum in fitting out
British troopships.
Ships were gathered from every
source, with the result that in the SIX
months between April and September
$50 600 American troops, or 60 per
cent of the total number carried with
IN that period, were transported in
british bottoms. In all, of the OOO,-
900 and more American troops trans
ported to France, we'll over a mill on
were carried in British ships. The
whole of this million were escorted to
the United Kingdom danger zone by
ships OF the royal navy. British ship
ping at that time was in a perious
situation, but, in order to further the
movement of American troops, we
we're prepared to make every sacrifice
"The following steps were taken:
From South Africa we removed every
passenger steamer. and for the time
being practically killed trade with that
country. From India and Australia we
removed all the fast steamers plying to
and between those two countries, and
we made very dangerous sacrifices of
meat plies-endangcring even those
of the British army-by transferring
these ships to the North Atlantic thus
wasting refrigerator space, as meat was
not available for export from North
American ports"
Loss of Imports 100000 Tons
"Our loss of essential imports owing
to the fitting out Of ships for the car
riage Of American troops amounted to
we'll over l 100000 tons. That sacri-
gee of imports was made at a time
when our total imports had been re

the Red Cross having been caught in scheme
of selling sweaters? Did you repeat it, per-
haps several times?
The story was absurd upon it's face. and yet
the whole country buzzed for weeks with the
evil tale, confidence in the Red Cross organiza-
ton received check and an insidous doubt was
created and spread of the trustworthiness of
those who have in their hands the preparation
and use of the instrumentalities of war.
Every man, woman or child who repeated
that tale was playing Germanys game for her.
Therefore, let us recognize the Importance of
keeping level heads. Let put on the gas
mask of intelligence when these poison gas
rumors flying about and refuse to be STAN
pcded by them.
Test every rumor that comes along, whether
by tongue or by print, by the test of reason
and likelihood. If it fails to stand the test,
rcbukc the person who is spreading it and
refuse to repeat it. If it seems possible, if
there is evidence of it's truth, do not repeat it
aimlessly, but lay it before the proper authority
for investigation. Even if there is something
that should be corrected, if some one is in fault,
nothing at all can be gained by idle babble, and
much injury can be done.
Let us keep mistaken high heart of faith
and courage and permit one to doubt,
challenged, that we shall win an early and COM
pletc victory.
And let us by all means admiring
called German efficiency" and indulge in an
occasional word of approval for our own.
Why shouldn't Germany be difficult to beat?
For forty years she prepared for this war.
What nation with equal time and resource and
purpose, could not have done as much? Held
at bay while those whom she attacked concen-
trated into a small fraction of that time the
preparations she had had so long to make, she
intrcnchcd herself and turned the war into the

this winter at fresh egg prices. This is fine
recommendation for the character of No.
cold storage egg, but does not speak SO we'll
for that of the man who sold it as fresh
Now, under the Consumers Club plan the
storage eggs Of last spring would have reached
the club members t the price of AZ cents This
would mean net wholesale cost of 3S cents,
plus 3 cents carrying charges, g cents for
Gambling and loss, cents distribution charge
and l cent profit, total of AZ cents to the
club members at this time for ice No. 1 cold
storage eggs that being sold at from SIS to
70 cents. Even the Federal Food Boards sug-
gested price has been as high as SO cents.
This practical comparison illustrates the
two principles back of the Consumers clubs.
First, cut out the lost motions in the handling
of food and reduce expenses, and second,
let the public know what its money buys. When
you pay US SO cents for eggs YOU are told
frankly that 70. pay Sc cents for the intrinsic
wholesale value of the eggs l cent for profit
and 2 cents for distribution charges.
This is our idea of promoting truth and
efficiency in food merchandising and intelli-
gence in buying.
Cold storage will never be the blessing it
should be until it is handled SO as to inspire
confidence. Modern business is founded on
confldence-one sale may be made on a clever
ruse any number of people may be newly
fooled in succession, but this doesn't build busi-
ness. 1t has to be recreated with each sale.
It's the difference between sowing ANIMALS
and planting perennials.
Not until cold storage products arc sold as
such on their own merits and can be distn-
gulshed from the fresh, not until the products
put IN in times of plenty arc released at reg
ular intervals and not held for times of great
est scarcity, will the public ever feel sure that
the prices arc not being manipulated to their
disadvantage, no matter how good the quality
of the product may be-
1t was great disappointment that cold stor-
age did not lower prices. 1t didn't, and prob
ably never will
But when it can be proved that it has equal
