censorship. Now if ever in the worlds
history there is need for the fullest
freedom Of discussion and dissection
of all possible information.
Without this the peace conference
may lead to disaster as great as the
war itself. If this disaster occurs it
will have been largely due to the
absurd, unjustifiable and dangerous
methods by which all interchange of
real opinion and information is now
impossible.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-President
Wilson to-day received a cablegram
from the Grand Duchess of Luxem-
burg, requesting him to intervene to
protect the Grand Duchy's interests as
free and independent state at the
peace negotiations.
The Grand Duchess's desire for pro-
lection at the peace conference was
thought to have had in view the Bel
gian movement. supported by important
personalities in Belgium. for the an
nexation of the Grand Duchy to Bel
GUM.
Secretary of State Lansing for
warded the communication to the Su
preme War Council at Versailles. in
dicating that neither the Allies nor
America would treat on any question
relating either to the var or peace
separately, out severally, after com
mon consideration and discussion.

Mccall Be
Peace Envoy,
Senators Saw
Republicans in Capital Re.
sent Selection of Bay
State Governor
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.--Goyerno,
Samuel W. Mccall, of Massachusetts,
it was said positively by many Sena-
tors to-day, will be the Republican
member Of the American commission
at the peace conference.
1t has been rumored for several days
that he would be appointed, bat Re-
publican Senator'S refused to credit
the report until to-day, on the theory
that such an appointment, following 60
closely on Governor AfcCall's appeal
that the voters stand by the President
in the recent election, would be too
fragrant. u
To-day the Republ!canc were in
tensely indignant that man thew re-
gard as having betrayed Senator
weeks in the recent election. causing
his defeat for reelection, should be
picked out as the representative of the
republican party for the peace confer
ence.
AS Senator Weeks is highly popular
III the upper house, both among Re-
puoilcans and Democrats, to-day's news
served to add fuel to the flame of dis
satisfaction which has been so pro-
hounced on Capitol Hill that even Ad-
mlnlstration spokesmen in the public
press have at length come to recog-
nize it,
II an opportunity could be had by the
Senate to "advise and consentn ~ thu

appointment, conversations all over the
Senate wing of the Capitol to-day in
dicated. Mr.. Mccall would be rejected
overwhelmingly.
The indignation against Mr. Mccall
IS the more pronounced because up un-
til few days before the last cleo
ton he was one Of the most regular of
regular Republicans.
In the old days of the fight against
the Cannon regime in the House, Mr..
Mccall was member of the Ways and
Means Committee. At that time he
voted steadily with Cannon and his
friends, opposing the Progressive ele-
ment to the last ditch.
He always has been considered by
Republicans here as identified with the
old Aldrich- Cannon combination and
any suggestion that he represented any
new Progressive ideas is derded by
those who knew him.
There is still no indication that the
President will yield to the storm of in
dignaton in Congress and appoint anv
Senator'S on the peace mission. 1t has
been considered assured that he would
not appoint more than one Republican.
so the definite selection of Mccall for.
although there is not official word on
this, there seems to be no doubt among
Senators of McCalls selection) closes
the door to the appointment of any
Republican Senator.
The movement for the Senate to send
special representative, or group of
representatives, seems to be growing,
and there was continued reference to
Vice resident Marshall.
The attitude of the Senate is not
based on the desires of the individual
members TO attend. Many of them
want some Senator'S to go, and think
that the one Republican and two Demo-
cratic members of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee, including Chairman
Hitchcock and Senator Lodge, the
ranking Republican, should be- sent.
Friends of Senator Lodge say that the
Massachusetts Senator does not desire
to go. He much prefers, it is said, to
take part in the programme in Con-
gress during the short session than to
take a place on a commission where he
would be utterly ovcrshadowed, as the
representative of the United States,
by the presence at Versailles of the
Pres ident himself.

LONDON, Nov. 25.-Nothing is
known here regarding Japan's ALLEGED
intentions at the peace congress. The
press refrains from touching upon such
a delicate subject, but the general
opinion is that whether Japan's de-
mands are pleasing or unpleasing to
England, public sentiment would favor
as loyal an attitude toward the eastern
ally as Japan has shown toward her
treaty obligations.
Each day accentuates the Importance
of England and America, through per-
sonal contact of the highest repre-
sentatives of both countries, reaching
an understanding upon many points of
apparent difference, such as freedom of
the seas.
After the American naval programme
the thoughtful people realize that Eng
land must enter another naval COM
petition, though on a friendly basis
with America, unless an agreement is
reached on this question.
Britain has no objection to the prin-
clple of naval disarmament, provided
she is absolutely convinced that all
danger to her island existence is re-
moved. But she is skeptical that the
various theories designed for this OBJ
ject will work in practice
Another vital question involving
some of the same principles as free
dom of the seas is Sovereignty of the
air. concerning which the British civil
aerial transport committee will report.
Among the recommendations of the
committee is that all parts of his
maJesty's dominions should have juris-
diction over air. and for the air law
purposes. it suggests that territorial
air. limits should extend beyond the
territorial water limits

The press correspondents who en-

later their dispatches either have been

responsibility for this policy lies in
about equal proportions with the
French, British and American censors

only under the direction of their re-

that the outstanding questions Of the

Mr.. Wickersham, that the absence of
the President in Europe would consti-
tute an inability to discharge the pow
ers and c.uties of his office.
"The Constitution does not provide
when a disability occurs, justifying
the Vice-President in assuming to act
as President. If the Vice President
should assume to act and should veto
bill and at the expiration of ten davs
from the date Of the passage of the
bill no veto from the President him
self in writing should have been re-
ceived, a question would arise for the
courts to determine and as to the
powers of the Vice President to act
for the President,
That these questions in. the past
never have arisen for actual decision
is tribute to the wisdom of our Presi-
dents in conforming with the traditions
of their great Office with that unbrok-
en- custom which ripens into law, and
in not suffering the whisperings of per-
sonal ambition to lead them to depart
from the paths of accustomed action,
thereby avoiding the creation of the
new, uncertain and perhaps dangerous
questions Of constitutional right and

WASHINGTON, Nov. Ex-senator
Hiram w. Johnson, of California, in a
written statement to-day assaied the
Administration for its suppression of

himself with Senator Borah and other
"progressives," Senator Johnson de-

BRAZIL BUYING
MUCH SHIPPING

BUENOS AIRES, June 20.-The
Lloyd Brazilian Steamship Co. has
established another new line of boats
between Buenos Aires and Belem
Brazil, with calling at Monteyideo
Rio Grande, Santos, Bahia, Maceio
Recife (Pernambuco) and Ceara.
The new service was inauguarted
by the steamship Rio Janerio,, which
sailed from this port with passengers
mail and Cargo recently.
In short time thereafter other
boats were placed ON this run. 1t is
believed that the new enterprise has
been we'll planned and that it's sue.
cess is assured The greater part OF
the ships once carried the traffic ber
tween those ports belonged to Euro
lpean countries and have since the wal
been placed on transatlantic routes
The Lloyd Brazilian company al
ready has established several lines be-
tween Buenos Aires, Montevideo anG
Chill, This copany instead of liquidat-
ing it's boats at the high prices brought
about by the war, has bought all the
available tonnage in South ,Ameri-
can waters for the purpose of enlarg-
ing its formerly small fleet.
Since the war began Argentine has
been selling off her boats, until today
she is practically without the SEM
blance of a merchant marine. Brazil
on the other hand has been buying
boats as fast as Argentina sold them
and now possesses several regular
lines of steamers with sailings be-
tween the pricipal Argentine and Bra
lillian ports.
The sailing of an Argentine boat
from Buenos Aires has become an
uncommon sight. The few ships that
remain under the Argentine flag are
destined at an early date to be sold tc
foreign countries.
Brazilian companies have taken
advantage of Argentine's inclination
to realize immediate, large profits
from the sale of her boats, and has
acquired ships of every class.
Argentine is today at a great disad-
vantage and entirely unable to com
pete with Brazil in shipping. 1t will
be many years before she is able to
overcome the lead in shipping which
Brazil has acquired so rapidly.

ME, URGES KAISER

AMSTERDAM, June 90 Emperor
William went into regions under fire
during the recent fighting on the
French front, according to Karl Ros-
ner, the Emperor's favorite CORE
spondent.
In an article in the Berlin Lokal-
Anzeiger the Emperor is pictured as
standing before the map of the fight
ing area and addressing his suite
thus:
In 1914, during the Bate of Sois-
sons, l was here tat the Laffaux cor
ner ON the Aisne 'front.' where heavy
trials have since been imposed upon
US Germansi ut taht is now all be-
hind us. We are now swinging on to
final victory"
The correspondent describes the
"unbounded establishment" of French
prisoners on seeing that the Emperor
had actually ventured under fire.
On his return to the battle front
continued the article, the Emperor
beckoned the men in the field gray
near him to his car and gave them a
graphic description Of THE German
successes.
f"Tell it to your comrades" said the
Emperor in conclusion, that they
too may rejoice Tell them also that
I have told you'll, in the midst of
the fighting"
What eyes they will make in Paris,
Yotr Majesty" said one of his lis
teners, carried away by the Emeper-
or's description, Kosher adds.

would like to see those eyes"
A further suggestion from the same
listener that the Germans would get
where they could see those eyes"
elected no reply.
