THE BASIS FOR PEACE.

THE BASIS FOR PEACE.
Guthrie Leader: The secret di-
plomacy Of Europe started this war,
but the open diplomacy OF America
is going to end it, and see that it
stays ended That is the meat of
the president address. The meth
cd OF the congress of Vienna, a
group OF imperialist statesmen gath
cred around a table in secret con-
clacc, bartering away the rights Of
peoples and territories, striving to
outWit each other and placing the
peace OF the world on the unstable
foundation OF buffer states and a
tectering balance OF power that any
mailman might kick over has dis

as the president tells Hertling, to
"a world that IS dead and gone

rightly says, has no desire to inter

WASHINGTON, Feb. b.-HeatlesS
Mondays are 10 continue.
Although formal announcement was
not made Of this decision, the fact re-
came known definitely yesterday after
noon. A joint statement will be issued
later by Doctor Garfield, fuel admins
traitor and Director General Of Rail
roads McAdOo.
Mr. McAdoo. although being strongly
opposed personally 10 the continuance
Of the Monday holidays, yielded 10 the
lnsistence by the fuel administrator and
a group Of state administrators that
the acute coal situation cannot be met
in any other way.
I'm anticipation OF Mr.. McAdoo's urg-
ent request that the crder be revoked
Doctor Garfield took IS state admins
traitors TO a conference in Mr.. McAdoo's
office. At the outset Mr. McAdOO insist
ed on his view expressed last week
that the, Monday holidays should be
terminated, but after be had heard a re-
cital Of the serious conditions Of coal
shortage in half a dozen states he eX-
pressed agreement with the contention
Of Doctor Garfield.
The state administrators made no at
| tempt TO conceal their Delief tie coal
situation al present has reached its
most serious stage. and their chief ar
gument 90 Mr.. McAdOO was that indus
tries. especially In New England are
closing for an average Of three days a
week even under present conditions
They reviewed the actual coal savine
through the Monday closing order. and
declared that only by such conserva-
/ tion can the actual needs Of domestic
/ consumers and vitally essential war in
! dustries be supplied.
Il was learned last night that Mr.. Nc
Adoo has not weakened In his opposi.
ton TO the order on principle but thai
this argument today, for the continu
ance Of the Monday holidays, simply
was due TO his unwillingness TO accep
responsibility for adding to the Goa

MUST Have FUNDS TO
help NEEDY OF CITY
ASS cis ted Charities and
Visiting Nurse Association
Make Appeal
MANY THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS SHORT

The continued cold weather has en-
phaslzed the needs OF the Associated
Charities and It's allied organizations,
the Visiting Nurse Association, which
have headquarters at No. COZ West
street.
The physically handicapped, the
widows with small children. the aged
and inlrm. all OF whom are not in the
wage earning class, are feeling the
pinch Of the imp, ecedented high cost
OF living and they find it utterly i'm
possible 10 exc out on existence without
the aid Of these two organizations.
While the physically nc are enjoy
ing the benefits OF Wilmingtons abnor-
NAL prosperity there are many persons
suffering all the more.
Wilmington has been first among
those that have taken up the problems
involved in national defense but IL has
not seemed to realize the importance
Of the home problem which Is made all
the more acute because Of our national
danger. Il Is necessary not only to
conserve life abroad. but also 20 con-
serve the life and health Of those at
home. The helpless are an the more
D
iipnal problems and their appeal is sD
/ the more vital because II Is the less
spectacular.
The Associated Charities has sent ap-
pssls for contributions 10 large num-
| her Of Wilmingtonians AID many re-
snOnses have been received, but the
Deeessary fund to carry out the years
work Is still many thousands Of dol
lars sholt. The total contributions to-
dsv are less than $4,000. The budget
for the year. reduced to the lowest
point. demands SiS.0O0
Lest year the Associated Charities
had 1868 clients and there were 81
contributions to the fund. An analysis
~ these figures shows that more than
thirteen persons in distress were depen-
dent on the charity Of each Of the 81
contributors.
The officers and directors OF the As
soGiaied Charities feel that the list OF
contributors should be doubled, even
though the amount Of any contribution
by each may not be large.
or the number, who contributed last
year. 90 have not yet renewed their
subscriptions for the current year and
these 9s turned into the treasury last
year Si,15S. A renewal Of these cOntri-
buttons is needed first Of all and an in
crease IN the amount contributed las,
year IS vitslly necessary.
The record this year shows there are
80 new contributors who have given
more than $1,000, but the total contri-
buttons are still FAR below the needs OF
the Charities.
The members OF the finance commit
tee are making an urgent appeal fol
funds. They want not only money, but
they want the cooperation and active
support Of a large number Of people
! The community program Of the Asso
ciated Charities and the Visiting Nurs
Association must be carried out or tn

, ills.
