of his mysterious witness: You say

old English lineage" DR.. Hale con-
tinued, that l have cause to resent
the action OF A. L. Becker, Assistant
Attorney General of New York. who
has given out to the press in sensa-
tional form the unsupported declara-
ton of an anonymous witness, with
out allowing me an opportunity to
confront him, If he exists, or to re-
flute his allegations. I made the Ions

after l left he or his assistants filled
the papers with this yarn.
THE question arises whether the
office of the Assistant District Attor-
ney General of the people of the State
of New York is an establishment for
the prosecution Of crimes against the
law or a bureau for defaming Ameri
can citizens in the interest of Mr.
Beckers political ambitions. This is
the third experience l have had with
this overzealous gentleman-whoh has
tried in vain to implicate me with Bolo
Pasha, the purchase Of The Mail, and
now with this Dernburg thing.
Il have asked counsel to advise me
whether the statement that I wrote
or edited the Dernburg speech, taken
in connection with the accompanying
headlines and text printed in various
papers and purporting to issue from
the office of A. L. Becker, Is as &C
tionable as it is false. If counsel ad-
vises that these allegations, conspic-
uously displayed, being untrue, are
defamatory and libelous, appropriate
redress will be Immediately sought
in the courts. I do not propose to be
anybody's goat"
Mr. Hale, there is another subject
on which you might enlighten u.s. the
interviewer said. How about the
Kaiser and your famous suppressed
interview with him.
DIR. Hale smiled.
The Kaiser is not subject" he
said. But this much l am willing to
say: President Wilson is fully inform
ed of all that was said at that inter
view, and, furthermore, the suppress
ed article has been placed at the pres
ident's disposition for any use he
might like to make of it. It's publ
cation now, however, would not help
to win the war"

AN END TO COMPETITION.

Whatever happens as the result of
unlikely that there will ever be a re-
turn to the expensive and frequently
ruinous competitive system that has
prevailed in the past.
No matter what mistakes have been
made or who is most to blame for
them, it is time now for everybody to
look at the country's transportation
problem with large vision. What
men do under the pressure of an
emergency by common consent often
shows the way to permanent reforms.
Upon the entrance of this country into
war, the officials of the leading rail-
ways, realizing the absolute necessity
of getting more service out of the rail-
ways than they were capable of giving
if operated independently, turned the
management of all of them over to a
central board with full powers to oper-
ate them as oAe system. That idea
has been developed until the compel
ing interests of the Individual COM
panies in current traffic had been
practically lost sight of
This is revolutionary. not only
from the standpoint of the railways
but from. the standpoint of the pubic.
1t has been the theory of all our legis-
lation that the railways must be made
to compete, but when we face the ne
cessity' for the highest efficiency it is
found that they must work together.
The country needs a broad con-
structivs program for the transporta-
ton service. and all parties at inter
est should cooperate in it's develop
ment. The amount of new work
which can be done in war time is lin
tied, but nothing could give assure nee
of general prosperity after the war
like a plan for railway development.
The plan should begin at the termi-
nails, which are the point of weakness
now, and make ample provision for
the expansion of traffic and the ac-
commodation of all roads. 1t should
include docks and harbor improve
ments. and the equipment and connec-
tions necessary to utilize and correlate
the inland waterways with the railway
system.
The old hostility of the railways to
the waterways should cease, and their
facilities should be linked up The
rivalries of rail systems should be sub
! ordinated to the general purpose of f.
fording the best facilities to the public
in the most economical manner.

A HERO EVERY DAY
Brave Deeds of Men in
Americas Fighting Service

Instances of heroism flew fast over
the cables following the sinking of the
L. s. S. Alcedo on November 5. The
ship, which was a converted yacht.
was torpedoed and sunk in the war
zone by a German submarine. re-
port has just come to the navy de-
partment of the unusual bravery of
Ola renee w. Kaiser, a seaman of the
second class. u. S. N. N. ". which is
the naval militia in federal service.
Kaiser had made one of the boats and
was in comparative safety. Seeing an
overturned dory floating in the water
where n number of men were en-
deavoring to find places of safety he
jumped overheard and swan to the
disabled boat. Turning it over he
bailed out the water and thus sup
piled an additional boat for more
survivors of the Inflated yacht. In
commencing Kaiser for this act of
heroism, Secretary Daniels wrote:
THE navy department commends
you for the spirit of self-sacrifice and
GOODNESS displayed by you in a time
of great personal danger"
Kaiser is a son of Mrs Bertha
Kaiser of Orangeburg. y. Y.

There are indications that transpor-
tation by water is about to stage
Comeback in this country. The steam
boat and the freight barge are likely
to return. The thing which chambers
of commerce and other agencies have
been trying to accomplish as a bust
ness proposition may be brought
about by necessity. The railroads no
longer can handle the traffic of the
country. Hard surfaced roads can not
be built rapidly enough 10 enable ship
pcrs to overcome the difficulty by use
of gasoline trucks. The streams and
lakes are ell ready for use The
Strength of a single man is sufficient
10 move a barge containing 1.00o tons
of cargo. The strength of a dozen
men would not prove sufficient to
move the twenty freight cars requIr ed
to contain the same weight of COM
fnerce. 1t is obvious. therefore, that
commerce can be moved at a lower
cost per ton-mile by water, where all
of the economies of water transporta-
tion are working, than by rail, even
under the most favorable conditions.
Port terminal congestion and delay are
less likely to occur in the case of va
ter-borne than in the case of rail-
borne commerce, since boats may lie
along ships and warehouses, no matter
how greatly congested the rail APP
breaches may be. Similarly, boats do
not have to sidetrack for other boats
to pass.

Pening reports that China has
rushed troops to Hardin to protect
her interests there. Affairs are NOV
churia just now. for the Russian Boil
sheviki forces have taken over the
Chinese Eastern railway and the Rus
sin administrative area in northern
Manchuria. More excitement is pre-
dicted, especially for Hardin.
The city of Hardin was built to or
der for the one-time car of all the
Russias, who, in constructing the
TransSi berian railway, found that he
needed the little village of Hardin as
a railway center and military depot.
Only a little diplomatic juggling was
required, and the village began to
grow up and expand before the puzzled
eyes of its peaceful Inhabitants. The
new Hardin did not absorb the old
part, but was built beside it; so that
the farmers still continue to raise
their millet and wheat untroubled by
diplomacy and troop maneuvers.
There are few Chinese and almost
no foreigners in the city. Russia dis
courageS alien immigration, and by
agreement with ChRa, only Russians
and Chinese are allowed to hold land,
construct houses, or have any perma-
nent business interests Russian rail-
road officials and workers and Rus
sian colonists and troops are the chief
residents of the entire neighborhood.

Every good man ought to be and is
little afraid of his wife.
So many people attend society
events simply to show they were in
vited.
The only consolation a drinking man
has these days is that he thinks he is
broad-minded.
We like the old-fashioned grand
mother who always precedes the arri-
val of the stork at her daughters
home.
Atchison people are less thrifty: we
have noticed a good many of them

PEACE ON THE WAY.

FEASE ON THE WAL.
If Berlin have been waiting for a
definite announcement of peace terms
from her adversaries she now has it
in the message delivered to congress
by President Wilson yesterday.
While the conditions offered are
subversive of Germany's ambitions.
they are in no way harsh or unjust.
The president has performed a distinct
service to the world by submitting a
tangible basis for negotiations.
The message is notable for the abb
sence of any mention of indemnities
and for the fact that it contains no
refusal to treat with the German gov
eminent as at present constituted
The latter feature probably is due to
the feeling that compliance with the
disarmament clause is regarded as a
sufficient guarantee of the future
peace of the world.
Without a big standing army the
kaiser would be powerless to start an
other war and it would not be neces-
sary to take his word for it.
Macmillan Harden's declaration
that "the key to the temple of peace
rests in Washington" seems about to
be verified.
Never before in the history of the
world perhaps did a nation mako a
peace proposal containing no demand
for anything for itself
Day by day it is becoming more ap-
parent that peace is measurably near
er than it was before David Lloyd
George made his notable speech last
Saturday 1t has reached the argu-
mentative stage. While rejecting the
terms of the British premier's pro-
posals, the German press and political
leaders are discussing them and set
ting forth the reasons why they can
not be accepted.
AS the discussions proceed it may
confidently be expected that one after
another the Objectionable features will
disappear thu concessions made by
one side or the other This course
would be inevitable in the end even
tho there should be a decisive victory
won by either one or the other of the
contending forces.
No nation in modern times has been
so completely vanquished by an ad-
versary that it has not been permitted
voice in arranging the peace terms
| The United States did not drive a hard
bargain with Spain; neither did Japan
| attempt to exact her pound of flesh

ON SPUR f FL MOMENT

BY ROY K. MoULToN

Little Slice o. Life.
He had purchased HER fine bouquet
OF American Beauty roses.
He wished to send them by messenger,
And attached a card. which read:
IF you love me, wear these tonight
OF course. the messenger boy
Got the package mixed with another,
And when the young lady,
After. reading the card, opened the box -
No, not a pair of stockings.
Nor pair of corsets,
Similar 20 the one which had been
Sent by ner admire
Two boxes of roses FOR different addresses
Had been sent by the same messenger,
And tho he mixed the packages
He was foiled for the first time in his life,
And the course of true love ran smooth.
In the east street car conductresses
are the vogue, and it is said their
commands are instantly obeyed by the
men passengers. There is something
about the female voice which makes
the average man jump, particularly
the average married man. When the
conductress .yells: Move forward in
the AISLE everybody moves.
Theirs not to question why
Theirs not to make reply.
Theirs but to move or die.
Poor old commuters.
A New York dressmaker made an
awful mistake the other day. She
a regular customer, and said: Until
this bill is paid, l will make no more
gowns for your wife, The man re-
f1ected for a while and then decided
he would make a lot of money to
pay it one year from date.
A real diplomatic note is one which
admits that a nation is wrong, but at
the same time proves that she is right.
The difference between the quick
and the dead in Russia is that the
quick get in with the new administra-
ton right on the jump.

toned man who used to say that
money was a secondary consideration
with him.
Milk
Today we are kicking about the price
of milk. But listen to what Judd Lewis
says about it. Judd once tried to run

Would make snort.
