PEACE OF THE WORLD.

There is no questioning the truth of the statement of the London Times that there be no permanent and just peace in the world except that 1t be built the warm and active friendship two great English speaking nations. And it is just as true that there be warm and active friendship be- tween America and Great Britain unless there is complete understanding of each other and unity of purpose This cannot be the unless the coun- tries hew strictly to the line of fair play all the world There can be no genuine Friendship unless 1t is based upon complete knowledge of each other by the parties to the friendship and approval of the aims and acts of each by the other.
 In other words there be no just and lasting peace except that the United States and Brit ain shall whole heartedy agree upon plan of equal and exact justice to all the peoples of the world They must not be selfish and they must permit
 eadshness to prevail at any place The principles of democracy must be applied every where-at home and abroad.
 We are confident that the American and British people agreed upon the necessity for the peace the world and they have determined in their minds that rivalry between interests. banking commer- cial industrial. shall thwart their purpose.
 And all this means. in the last analysis. that all will be we'll if the leadership of President Wilson.

Sale Of Enemies
 Property is Voted
 By Senate, GA To [
Legislation Meant to Destroy German Trade Influences in America Holdings of Aliens Here Not Affected Treaty of 1799 is Held Inappicable to Issue If Any Compensation is Paid Says Martin, Foe Must First Pay for U. S. Ships

Washington, March 12-The Sen ate yesterday approved by 64 to leg islation authorizing the sale of all property in this country owned by enemies abroad An amendment em- towering the President to acquire title to the German-owned docks and wharves at Hoboken also was ac- cepted.
 A. Mitchell Palmer, Custodian of Alien Property, asked for this action in order to destroy German commer- cial influence in the United States, The Senate tentatively accepted, 3S to 28, an amendment by Senator Ere for the sale of German property at public auctions and to American citi- zens only.
 Official assurances have been given that there is no intention to interfere with the property or money of Ger mans or AUstrians living in this coun- try. The purpose is to sever forever the hold of Germans in Germany upon vast commercial and industrial enter prises in the United States which have been closely connected with the Kaiser's government, serving as out posts of the Teutonic movement for world dominion.
 Under the Trading With the Enemy Act, the Alien Property Custodian takes possession of and administers these properties, but is without au- thority to dispose of them finally. The new legislation will empower him to place them in American hands.
 Virtually the only questions raised in yesterdays debate were the possl- bilitv of violating the treaty of l1SS between Prussia and the United States and of too nasty action by Congress Expected opposition to the proVasioh for ra1rchase of the Hamburg -Amer1- can and North German Lloyd COCKS at Hoboken failed to materia1ize.
 Prompt approval of both provisions bv the House is expected as soon as the Senate finally disposes or the s2.ooO,OOO,0OO Urgent Deficiency Ap- propriation Bill, to which they are added.
 Before the Senate acted, Demo- cratic Leader Martin presented memorandum from the State Depart ment's legal bureau declaring that the 1799 treaty was not regarded as l applicable.
 What is to be done with the pro- ceeds of the sale of German inter- ests, which some Senators yesterday suggested are owned in part by Elm l porer William himself, is a policy to | |. a+o lat making thlS clear, Senator Martin vehemently de- clared that he believed that Germany should not receive one dollar until

WOOD FINISHING co. SECRETARY
 TAKES HIS LIFE

New York, March PA man who registered in a Broadway hotel as John Turrill of New Milford, Conn.,, committed suicide yesterday by cut ting his throat with a razor. He was secretary of the Bridgeport Wood Fin ishing Company, and came here last week to visit the New York office of the company, which had been taken over by the DuPont interests. He had been reported to the police as missing and preparations were being made today to send circulars contain ing his picture broadcast.
 Turrill failed on Saturday to keep an appointment which he had made to meet his wife at a railroad ter minal here upon her return from | New Hampshire. He was 50 years | old. A representative of the Bridge port Company identified the body. At the Hotel Breslin, where MT. Turrill ended his life, it was said that the engagement he had with his wife

TURKISH BATHS
 POINT THE WAY TO RHEUMATISM CURE
Prof. Atlas Says Many Sufferers Take Wrong Way to End
 Their AfflictiOn.

The Turkish bath not only aids in relieving rheumatism but under the direction of an expert serves to dis close the cause and to effect a per manent cure.
 Prof. James Atlas, who in the past thirty years has handled many rheu- matic cases-hundreds of thousands of persons having passed before him in naked review-declares that many of the afflicted seek the wrong end in treating rheumatism.
 "It is not the cure that should be sought, but rather the cause. The common causes, my experience shows to be over-eating, excess in drinking, or the consumption of food and drink not suitable to the individual. The Turkish bath under competent man agement' is almost always an infalli- ble cure"
 So sure is Prof. Atlas of curing rheumatism at his baths, on Fairfield avenue near Broad street. that he has made this assertion:
 tT am willing to give $1,000 to any charity that the Bridgeport Times may name, if am unable to cure any case of rheumatism which I accept under the terms of this offer and guarantee to cure.
 "I am willing to give $1,00O," Prof Atlas said, "because in the past 20 | years I have never failed" Professor Atlas, undefeated retired champion Graeco-Roman wrestler of the world, is always glad to talk to those afflicted with rheumatism, to advise them, and to treat them with such baths as may be thought proper to ascertain cause and eliminate the acids that afflict.
