PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
NOW IN PROGRESS
WITH DELLIGERENTS
This Is Only Logical COnclus-
ion After Reading Public
Utterance
By ]. W. T. Mason

written for the United Press)
New York, Jan. Public peace
negotiations are now in progress be-
tween the allies and the Central Pow
ers. This is the inevitable conclusion
from the open declarations being made
by various belligerent statesmen.
The negotiations are not following
the time worn custom of handing over
the fates Of nations to few secret
plenipotentiaries who have settled the
outcome of previous wars behind clos
ed doors.
Instead of duplicating the proceed
ings of the. past, the people of the
warning nations are now being public
ly informed of every move the negoti-
ations take The negotiations them
selves are simply these announce
ments of the hostile statesmen spok-
en- not principally to one another, but
to the millions Of people of all nations
who are doing the fighting and the
suffering.
The kaiser has demanded from the
start that peace exchanges be conduct
ed at a private conference but it IS
highly significant indication of the
democratization going on in Germany
that even the German statesmen are
being forced into making open state
meats OF their terms
A democratic peace parley is grad
ually taking form. 1t is now showing
such an accumulation of energy that
the reactionary kind Of pickering
which the kaiser loves has been made
impossible.
Lloyd George s new declaration Of
war aims was democratic announce
lment to the Teutonic people. 1t is now
for the German public opinion to de-
mand that the kaiser s statesmen re-
ply. There is every likelihood that
this will be done quickly. The more
speeches that are thus exchanged in
public the more will kaiserism be fore
ed into the background. Instead of
compelling the German governing
class to make formal acknowledge
ment of allegiance to democracy, the
allies are succeeding in the more diff
ficult matter of forcing the kaiser to
conduct peace negotiations, according
to the new democratic formula.
The kaiser is thus being driven, for
the first time in the history Of Hoh-
enzollernism, to democratise his war
and peace powers. Democracy is win.
ming the war.

CRIMINAL PROSECUTION

Washington, Jan. 7.-Criminal prose

Complete Plans We're An

HOSPITAL SYSTEM
WILL BE COMPLETE
Many Eminent Surgeons Have
Assisted In Preparing
All Plans
By j. W. Pegler

Omitted Press staff correspondent
With the American Army in France
Jan. 7. - America s wounded in the
days to come will be better taken care
OF than back home,
Complete plans were announced by
the surgeon general today. Every pos
sible detail has been worked out
Some of America greatest surgeons
and physicians, men who gave up pri-
vate practice worth fortune, will
lend their aid.
The surgeon general explained to
the United Press the working of this
vast system from the time stretcher
bearers pick up wounded ON Ono mans
land'' until the wounded have passed
into convalescence, ready to return
either to the trenches or go home.
Those wounded so as to be incapac-
itated for further military duty will
be sent home upon convalescence.
Divisional and regimental hospitals
will unite to collect wounded. They
will give temporary relief at dressing
stations. From there the men will be
transported to field hospitals. Later
they will be shifted to evacuation hos
pitals-then to base hospitals. If is
possible the field hospital may be cul-
minated owing to rapidity Of motor
ambulance transportation.
The evacuation hospitals will be
about ten miles to the rear. There wo-
men nurses are employed in special
expert. teams. 1t is expected surgeons
will be assigned to evacuation hospi;
tails particularly to operate on abdomi-
nal wounds, from which it is now es-
timated one half recover if the opera
tions are prompt and skilful.

PrO-Gennan Bomb
ExplOdes In School House

Rochester, Pa, Jan. 7.-The Roehes

tuition attended by forty pupils, was
partially wrecked today by bomb in
the desk of Miss Cecilia Helbling, the

Carl Burgwall, aged 10, was seriously
injured. He was the only one in the

wall was able to tell the police that
he was firing the furnace in the cellar
when the bomb exploded. He succeeded
in getting outside and calling for helI
before he collapsed.
The police voiced the belief that the
bomb was time contriyanee set by
pro-Germans and that it exploded pre-
maturely.

London, Jan. The joint allied state
mcnt of war aims, urged by President
Wilson, is impending.
1t is to be the great attack of the
winter S political drive against German
imperialism. Premier Lloyd-George S
cpochal speech Saturday outlining Brit
ain 5 aims was merely the preparatory
fire.
From highest sources today the Unit
ed Press learns this is the plan of win
ter campaign by the allies-a political
campaign to reach Germany's people
which in its far-reaching scope equals
the purely physical endeavOrs of the
allied armies to make Germany demOcra-
tie
An early conference of all allied
prime ministers was limited at in off
cial circles today. Such a meeting will
draft the demands of democracy against
autoeraey. 1t will serve to make plain
to the world that the allied battle is
one OF right; that no selfish consider
ations move them in their determina-
tion forever to remove the menace of
Prur<ianism.
More than that, it will carry to Rus
sia : millions, not bitterly aware of
German duplieity through the Best
Litovsk farce, the full reiterated pledges
of the allies democracy.
On November 20 the United Press re-
vealed that Colonel House, President
Wilson s spokesman, then IN London,
was urging a re-statement of allied war
aims. Il was then stated that America
desired all the allies representatives
to assemble, to lay on the'table all their
war aims and from this assortment to
sort out all which by any possibility
could be held undemocratic, subscribing
TO those that remained as the full and
sole purpose of the allies.
LIoyd-George s speech, as representa-
tive of full democracy in Britain s aims
follows closely President Wilson's list

Chief Justice White Says
Arguments of All ObjectOrS
Devoid of Merit
COURT UNANIMOUS
In PASSING ON CASE
Army Without Men Cannot
Be Conceived and Nation
Must Provide Them

Washington, Jan. = The supreme
court today declared the draft law
constitutional.
Chief Justice White, in handing
down the decision on the nine cases
against the draft law that reached the
supreme court, said the arguments Of
all the objectors were "absolutely de-
void of merit.'
"Our mind is unable to conceive
that raising armies by draft is slavery
and violates the thirteenth amend
ment," Chief Justice White said.
The decision of the court was unan.
imOus.
Refuting the argument of the draft
objeetors that congress did not have
the power to draft citizens, the chief
justice said:
AS the mind cannot conceive an
army without the men to compose it,
on the face of it the question that it
does not give power to provide for
such men would seem to be too friv,
olous for further notice f"
The ground for opposition to the
draft challenges the existence of all
power" the chief justice said
ga governmental power which can
only be exercised provided the citizen
consents to it's exertion, is in no sub
stantial sense a power.
f'We are unable to conceive" he
continued, Fupon what theory the ex-
action by government from the citizen
of the performance of his supreme and
noble duty of contributing to the de.
fense of the rights and honor of the
nation as the result of war declared
by the great representative body OF
the people, can be said to be the i'm.
position of involuntary servitude in
violation Of the prohibitions of the
thirteenth amendment. We are con.
strained to the conclusion that the con-
/ tention to that effect is refuted by its
mere statement
The chief justice quQted historical
; incidents from the Norman conquest
down to the present day to show that
in all just governments the idea OF
citizenship carried with it the obliga
tion to render military service and the
right of the government to enforce
/ that obligation to render military
service and the right of the government
to enforce that obligation, if need be
The chief justice pointed out that
the civil war draft was upheld.
Cases charging conspiracies to induce
young men not to register were moi
decided today. These included those
against Emma Goldman and Alex Berk
man, New York anarchists, and the
Cleveland socialists, Charles Rutherberg

AN ALLIED STATEMENT or

though it was held it must affect the
German public opinion. But the British
peop'e lave been demanding just such
a re-statement with increasing insist
encs ii recent weeks. The public Is warm

aims Iadicated he had struck the chord
of pvpp3ar apu'ov
Robert Williams, head of the trans
port workers, for instance, declared to-
day;
- believe Lloyd-George has read la
bor's war aims memorandum to some
pgrpcsc.
Williams, it should be stated, recent
ly made a bitter attack on the premier
for rctieence in stating England S aims.
While the French press, judging from
dispatches here, is more enthusiastic
than even the British newspapers over
the address, taking the view that Lloyd
Georges reference to France implies
support of the demand for return of
both Alsace and Lorraine, there was
disposition here to regard his language
as indicating instead Britain intends
TO see complete justice done.
In that phrase many regard the Brit
ish statesman as demanding restoration
of all of Alsace but only part of Lor-
Taine.
Before the joint statement there was
belief here that every one of the allied
l,remiers would outline his particular
nation s views-the preliminary fire
for the general political offensive which
would he directed AGAINST Germany from
every uarter.
President Wilson has outlined Ameri-
Ca s. war aims. Lloyd George has stat
ed Britain s. Premier Clemenceau is
looked to as the next speaker-and
there was particular interest expressed
