Conference Of Foreign Minis

AWAIT WILSON'S ARRIVAL
Intimated Former Emperor
Will Attempt to Surrender
to United States.

LONDON, Dec Sit is understood tnat
the representatives of the Allies in
conference at the Foreign Ministry to-
day wereNunanimously in favor of de-
mandlng that Holland hand over to
the Allies the former German Emperor
and former Crown Prince.
No official report of the conference
was issued beyond n mere recital of
the names Of those attending it and

House OF the American peace delega-
tior was prevented by illness from at
lending.
The British War Cabinet and the
French and Italian representatives in
London are in agreement as to the
proposed punishment of William
Hohenzollern, but have decided to take
no action until President Wilson ar
rives in Europe. the Erentng Ne,cS

The Allies are not willing to allow "a
technicality to prevent bringing the
former Kaiser to trial. If Holland re-
fuses his eXtradition without the con-
sent OF Germany, the newspaper adds.
pressure will be brought to obtain con-
sent.
A demand for the surrender of the
former Kaiser will be submitted to the
Netherlands Government in the name
OF all the allied Cabinets. according to
the Daily EIpress. The views of France
and Italy have been fully communi-
Gated to the British Government, and
President Wilson has also made suE-
gestions relative to procedure in the
case.
Authority is claimed by the Daily
Express for the statement that, al
though there are some little differences
as to points of law among allied jur-
lists, Mondays conference in Downing
Street revealed unanimity relative to
the bringing OF the former German
Emperor to answer for his crimes.
The opinion is held that Holland
will not be disposed to put obstacles in
the way. She will not be asked to de-
liver Herr Hohenzollern under the or
binary eXtradition laws, but his status
will be considered analogous to that
of a pirate or slave trader, who Is not
regarded as entitled to sanctuary i'll
any country.
THE German Government is still un-
decided as to how to deal with the
former Emperor and the Hohenzol-
lerns," said Hugo Haase, Secretary for
Foreign Affairs in the German Cabinet,
to a correspondent of the Daily EG-
press on Sunday.

be sufficiently punished by the inter-

WASHINGTON. Dec. 3.-Sanity and
caution will be the guiding principles
Of the Republicans in Congress in
dealing with the vast problems thrust
upon the Senate and House in the
absence of the Chief Executive. This
is the determination reached by lead
ers of the Republican party as the
result of consideration of the un-
prccedented situation which the jour
neyings Of the President will create.
The party leaders let it he known
to-day that the movements launched
Yesterday looking to substitution OF
Vice-President Marshall as head of
the nation in place of the President
will not be supported by party or
ganiaations as party measures. The

lican organization for the present at

Temporary Move impossible.
Instead Of proceeding hastily and
without due consideration Of the cir

leans have been called on to deal. the
real leaders of the party now counsel
strict attention to the business or the
Congress. accompanied by a close
scrutiny OF the developments at the
peace table and in domestic affairs.
II is predicted confidently that the
resolutions providing for the declara-
ton Of vacancy In the Presidential
office will not receive the support or
any Republican leaders. 1t is the
view Of Senator Lodge (Mass.) that in
mo circumstances could the chair of
the president be declared temporarily
vacant. The substitution OF Mr.. Mar
shall. II Il took place. would have to
be permanent. The Republican leader
holds that the Constitution makes no
provision for n temporary President

With equal assurance it is predicted
that except there shall come COM
plete change in the situatior at Yer
sailles. and the Presidents assurance
to Congress that II would be kept fully

will be no senatorial delegation of OBJ

OBJECTED To CUSTOM
Observance of Thanksgiving Was
for a Period Not Popular
in Southern States.

TN the South Thanksgiving day was
practically unknown until 1855. In
- that year Governor Jones of Vir-
hture urging recognition of the day
that he might issue proclamation for
its observance; but he was advised
that as most of the citizens Of the
state regarded this day as "a relic OF
Purftanic bigotry," he ought not to
urge It's observance.
Two years later Governor Wise, the
successor of Jones, without asking ad-
vice of the legislature, issued a proc
hmation, and the people, generally
throwing aside their prejudice, OBJ
served the day.
In the next year, 1858, eight COVER
nOrS of southern states issued procla-
nations after the model Of New Eng
land, calling upon their people to OBJ
serve the last Thursday in November
as day for thanksgiving. But the
Civil war was at hand, and the bit
terness engendered In the long contro-
versy over slavery caused many vio-
lent opponents of the North to oppose
the proclamation, because Of the in
PRODUCTION Of yankee custom"
Undoubtedly our present Thanksgiv-
ing day has it's prototype In the Ply
mouth thanksgiving festival Of 1921.
1T has been asserted repeatedly that
the Plymouth festival was suggested to
the Pilgrims by the Jewish "Feast Of
hgathering"

dfate' kinship with similar events in
tie past, it has analogies with the har-
fvest home Of England. The Pilgrims

abration, and many of them, no doubt,
had participated in it. The dominant
mark of each was the JOY over the in
gathering harvest.
The chief difference between the two
WINS the want of ceremony at Plymouth
that characterized the English festi-
val. In some parts Of England the
Merrymaking was around the "Nod-
dingsheaf," or 'kern baby" and in
many places the last load of the har
vest was drawn to the barn in a wagon
called the "hoch cart" In front went
ptpe and tabor, and around it gathered
the reapers, men and women, singing
30yously as they proceeded. At Ply
mouth there was no ceremony. There
was no harvest song 80 familiar In

COOKING TESTS THE SCOUT.

The way to mans heart Is through
his stomach. The path to an early
grave lies along the same route. A
scout who cannot cook can hardly
claim to be scout at all.
AS the chief sea scout says: zone
fairly good cook is worth more than
four sick carpenters"
To many a boy the first experience
in cooking comes through his prepare
ton for the second-class cooking test.
He may have roasted corn on stick
or steamed a few clans in a bucket
or burned a few spuds in an open fire.
But the scout cooking test, If prop
erly emphasized, will help him to see
that cooking is vitality related to hui
man life and essential to human hap
piness and efficiency.
Even in so simple a meal as the
quarter of a pound of meat and two
potatoes of the scout test many mis-
takes may be made, and the scout
should know how to avoid all of them.
Many a professional cook fails ut
terly when asked to prepare a meal in
the open without the kitchen equip
ment to which he has become accus-
toned. The scout must be ready to
meet all emergencies.

EAGLE ALWAYS AN EMBLEM
From NEUROLOGICAL Times the Monarch
of the Air Has Been Chosen as
Representative of Power.

In mythology the eagle usually rep
resents the sun. The great mythical
eagle of India, the Garuda, is the
bearer of the god Vishnu, victorious
by his brightness over all demons. In
Scandinavian mythology the eagle is a
gloomy figure, assumed by demons of
darkness or by Odin himself, con-
cealed in the gloomy night or in wind
swept clouds. The storm giant Hras-
weigr sits in rhe form of an eagle Mt
the extremity of heaven and blows
blasts over all people and on the great
tree Yggdrasil sits nm eagle observing
everything that happens, When Zeus
was preparing for his struggle with
the Titans the eagle brought him a
thunderbOlt, whereupon the god took
the bird for his emblem. 1t naturally
became the emblem of nations after
it's long use in mythology. Ptolemy
Softer made 1t the emblem of the Egyp-
tian kingdom. In the Roman story
the eagle was the herald to Tarquinus
of his royal power, and 1t was one OF
the most important insignia of the re-
public, and was also assumed by the
emperors, and adopted into medieval
heraldry after the time of Charlie
magne.

A GOOD SCOUT TROOP GONE.

1t is not often that there is pleasure
in the preparation of an obituary no.
tice. In the case of one troop which
has just become defunct there is, how
ever, peculiar satisfaction in not
ing it's timely end. The story is con-
tanned in the following letter from
Field Scout Executive Stephen M. Ma
jOr of Chicago, ILL.,:
"Troop No. 312 of Chicago will not
be registered this year. Every one Of
the boys but one are in the service
This was troop of older boys, and
when they come back they will all be

tiers.
"The one who is not in the service
is not quite old enough to get his par
ents' consent, but is going to techni-
cal school, so that the minute his
birthday arrives he will be ready"

SUGAR SHOWED
OUR BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES
BY Reducing Consumption People of
the United States Averted
Famine at Home in Spite
of Low Supplies.

The fact that the people of the
United States were able to reduce by
more than one-half million tons their
consumption of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as q whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption Of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
f, total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar Str1ngency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 tons. In Au-
gust only 325, 900 tons went into dis
tribution and in September only $780,
900 TONS In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have been in the throes of sugar
famine before the end of August. Our
visible supplies were so low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
1t would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury in the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
ton Of sugar. By it we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops were in sight.
Now the nation is in a position so
that if we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release Of ships to go
far afield, can maintain it's recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use of
sugar very considerably it must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton.

Earlaps Of the Japanese.

"The earlap Is almost entirely want
Ing with the Japanese, but this appar-
ent anomaly is none at all. 1t Is we
whose ears are badly formed, or Mt
least different from those which ma
ture, If not interfcred with, would
have given us. Our ear is disfgured
because for centuries our ancestors
loaded 1t with more or less heavy orna-
ments, which in the course of time
elongated Its inferior part. We In
herited from them both the custom
and its effect-the lap. A fact which
shows that this useless and cruel Gus
tom was unknown to the japanese, the
expressions for earrings (mimi-gana)
and earlap (mimi-taboo), were not In
PRODUCED into the japanese language
until the epoch when the japanese en-
tered into connection with the Occi-
dentals, those whom they were wont to
call barbarians.
