PROTECT FROM MINES
Presidents Ship Will Be Guarded by
Every Possible Precaution. -e1

Washington, Dec. 4.-Every possible
precaution to guard the presidential
ship against free mines is being taken
by the navy department, 1t was learned
today. ,..-
The approaches to American har-
bors have been carefully mine-swept
to the Azores and the French harbors
are being similarly searched.
Convoy ships should fend off any
floating mines, it was stated at the
navy department.
And a group Of destroyers win go
out of France to meet the party at the
Azores. This fleet, 1t is held. will
serve as a complete mine sweeping
squadron and if there is any danger
from mines it will be reduced to
minimum.
Secretary Daniels pointed out today
there could be no absolute assurance
of absence of mines around ports at
this time. Careful sweeping, however,
is rapidly removing this danger.
The George Washington is sailing
direct for France and will make Brest
it's landing place.
It should dock there at the end Of
next week.
1t was not desired that the presiden-
tia1 party should arrive before that
time, inasmuch as the French Off
Gals will be attending a big celebra-
ton in Alsace-Lorraine the middle of
next week

THE CHANGE WAS
MADE in A DAY
IN THE JUNKERS

London, Dec. f. Maximilian Har-
den in his paper, Die Zukunft. gives
a picture of Germany in the days pre-
ceding and following the armistice.
In August, he says, the late Albert
Balm, director of the Hamburg
American line. was called in by the
military men as the only German who
could tell the emperor. the truth.
There was 2 terrible scene" he
continues. land G lady's fan threat
ened the ship owner"
/ There was a second interview, but
nothing came of it and the facts sud-
denly burst upon Germany with the
resignation of General Ludendorff
which came with the violence of an
unexpected thunderstorm"
Herr Harden bitterly denounced
the sudden conversion of all the junk
er elements to democracy and to sup
port of the new government.
Yesterday" he declared. they
were blood thirsty with the will to
victory Today they are knights OF
the spirit, raising a disgraced civil
ization' up to pure glory"
He tells the German people that
their paper money and loans are
worthless and only the labor of our
sons and grandsons can give them
value"

| FLU CASE TO COURT
Wichita Regulation Row Taken to
Supreme Court Today.

Mandamus proceedings were filed
in the state supreme court today to
set aside an order of the Sedgwick
county district court in the influenza
regulation case. The city of Wichita
asked the attorney generals office to
join in the suit on behalf of the state.
An immediate decision in the case has
been asked.
Several days ago Judge Bird of
Scdgwick county held that an in
fluenza ordinance in the city of
Wichita was illegal and imperative.
Action is now being taken to make the
regulation applicable as to churches
and amusement houses. In the case
today the supreme court is asked to
direct the Sedgwick county district
court to enforce regulations closing
both churches and theaters. The ordi-
nance was held invalid in the district
court on the grounds that it was dis
criminatory and did not provide equal
rights.

HE LETS BARUCH QUIT
Wilson. Accepts Resignation OF Chair
man War Industries Board.

man WI lHuuSlr1tS
Washington, Dec 4.-President
Wilson has accepted the resignation
of Bernard NJ. Baruch as chairman of
the war industries board. effective
war industries board cease to exist as
a government agency on that date.
In the correspondence made public
today, the president expressed the
hope that Mr.. Baruch would remain
in Washington so that the govern
ment might continue to have the
benefit of his advice
After agreeing with Baruch as to
when the work of the board should
be discontinued, the president said:
'It is with feeling of very sincere
regret that I see this admirable and
efficient agency discontinued. 1 have
constantly felt the spirit and quality
of the work it has been doing and 1t
has been a source Of great confidence
to me in the prosecution of the war
that the tasks of the board were in
such good hands"
Mr.. Baruch gave as his reason for
resigning that with the signing of the
armistice and the consequent can
collation. of contracts there was no
longer a shortage of materials. and
the war industries board Immediately
removed its curtailments. In like
manner, the necessity for maxim UNI
prices is disappearing. except in a few
isolated cases which can be best regu-
lated thru the war trade board"

SENATORS MARK time
Action on Resolution To Send Com
mittee to Paris Postponed.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Action of the
resolution of Senator Cummins of
Iowa, Republican, proposing that a
senate committee be sent to Paris for
the peace conference was postponed
until tomorrow by the senate foreign
relations committee today after an
executive session to discuss the reso-
luton and hear Senator Cummins in
it's behalf.
When the meeting was over, admin
istration leaders said privately the
resolution would not be approved
Most of the Democrats of the commit
tee are said to have opposed it while
the Republicans were divided. For
nearly two hours behind closed doors
the committee argued the questions
involved. In opposing the Cummins
resolution Democratic committee
members. it was stated, took the
ground that a senate committee might
embarrass the president and that 1t
would be without invitation of official
standing. Senator Cummins is re-
ported to have replied that the presi-
dents course in going to the confer
ences is unusual and extraordinary
and that the senate should have repre-
sentation on the ground to secure full
information"

LEAGUE OF NATION
Senator Kellogg Advocates One
for Maintaining Peace.
But Says That To Succeed 1t
Must Be Real One.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Creation of a
league of nations to maintain peace
not a permovement to dominate
and interfere with nations internal at
fairs, but a world tribunal for arbitra-
ton of international disputes with en-
lightened public opinion a large factor
in enforcing it's decrees-was advo-
Gated by Senator. Kellogg of Minnie
sofa, Republican, in an address today
in the senate
Failed for Years.
Pointing out that a league OF ma
lions to stop all wars had been a
"fayorite theme for discussion by
benevolent publicists and statesmen
for two thousand years." Senator kel-
logg said that its failure to date need
not be discouraging and that puphc
sentiment has advanced until an inter-
national alliance, for maintenance OF
peace now may be considered feasible.
81 believe the time has come" he
said. ito try to establish a league to
prevent war and to enforce peace
which may not be entirely preventive,
but, backed by world public senti-
ment, will have a tremendous 1nflu-
ence toward maintaining just and
equitable relations between nations
and preventing the horrors of war
But l am not in favor OF an I'M
practicable, might say an Impossible
scheme that l believe rests IN the
brain of the dreamer and the womb
of the far distant future. No league
OF nations can succeed unless it is
originated in and sustained by an hon
est public sentiment of the peoples
involved, and unless the governments
Joining in such league are responsive
as the people. These conditions exist
today to a greater extent than ever
before" -. ,
Regarding President Wilson's action
on peace questions, Senator KELLOGG
said:
Deplore Wilson's Act.
81 deplore what seems to be the
disposition of the president not to take
the American people into his conf
dence and especially that body OF the
supreme legislative power of the ma
ton, the coordinate treaty making
body-the United States senate"
Turning to concrete plans for q
league of nations, Senator Kellogg said
unless Germany evolves a government
responsive to popular will and with
people having ideals and aspirations
different from those Of the past re-
gime, there must be a league OF ma
lions to" see that Germany is rendered
powerless to renew the contest"
The Minnesota senator said he was
opposed to a league established as
world super-government with legisla-
lures and judicial tribunals. Nc
league, he asserted, should have pow
er to interfere with foreign trade. tar
iff duties, commerce regulations. de-
velopment or disposition of national
resources or other internal affairs.

HIS SPEECH 0. K.
Paris and London Papers Com
ment on Wilson Address.
Say 1t Gives Ideas and Ideals
for Them Now.

Paris, Dec 4.-The Paris newspa-
pers print the principal passages of
President Wilson's; message : to con-
gress and special writer's comment IA
vorably
Julien Sorel writing in the Oui,
says: IF President Wilson's speech
brings us no new information on inter-
national policy, it gives US suggestions
which may serve the allied govern
ments in approaching the difficult
questions of rehabilitation, which
none had foreseen."
Gustav Herve in La Victoire writes:
"One passage of the message interests
us especially. 1t is that in which Pres
fdent Wilson announces his intention
OF asking congress to make a special
effort to help the economic restora-
ton of France and Belgium. 1t is not
without deep gratitude that France
and Belgium will learn of this fresh
demonstration of active and brotherly
sympathy on the part of the American
people"
Rene Daral in the Gaulois refers to
that part of the message dealing with
the presidents visit to Europe and
says: THE eminent statesman will not
be long in realizing that in the nego-
tiations of tomorrow the role of arbi-
traitor between the belligerents if by
chance he thinks of assuming it, could
only foster hopes of intrigues by the
vanquished."
From London.

terms to the president and to Ameri-
can cooperation in the war insists
upon the importance of the exact rela-
ton of the Ia points to the peace set
Element being understood. The news
paper thinks the points were accepted
too hastily by the allied governments.
II relies. however, upon the president
definition of them as an outline of the
basis of peace and regards them as "a
serviceable instrument with which to
begin the work of securing peace
The Daily News asks anxiously for
evidences of the acceptance of the
spirit of the IA points, the letter of
which was accepted with one excep-
ton. by the allies.
In all the world" it inquiries, "who
are the statesmen who are backing not
the letter, but the spirit of President
Wilson's policy? The situation is full
of menace. If it is to be redeemed
it must be by the peoples of every
country"

Says Webb Miller of Food Con.
ditiOns in Prussia.
Tells of Getting a Meal for
S1.25 in Treves.
DOLLAR At OTHER PLACE
There Is a Great Variety OF
Food To Be Had.
Poorer Classes May Suffer,
However, in That Land.
BY WEBB MILLER.


With the American Army of Occu-
patton, in Rhenish Prussia, Dec. A.
Despite the narrowing stories flowing
out of Germany regarding shortage of
food during the past few months,
those portions of Rhenish Prussia
which have been occupied by the
Americans do not seem to be suffering
very severely.
Unquestionably there is a shortage
and some of the poor are probably
suffering, but the masses of people
are not starving by any means, altho
they are undergoing rather stringent
privations, judging from investigations
conducted at Treves.
AT. an ordinary hotel..I was able
to obtain vegetable soup, two slices of
roast beef, a goodly helping of boiled
potatoes, some meat gravy and a real
ly palatable coffee substitute, altho
got no bread. This meal cost five
marks-about $1.25.
At second class hotel, ate pea
soup smoked horse meat. sauerkraut,
mashed potatoes and got glass of
passable.beer for four marks.
: Charges for meats at the first rate
n otels run from three to five times
above those at the ordinary hostelries,
but there is a greater variety of food,
which is of better quality and better
served
The labering, classes are undoubted-
1y under-nourished. Eggs and milk
are practically unobtainable. except
ing from farmers. There is little but
ter. Altho sugar can be obtained, it
is very expensive. The bread is most
unpalatable. 1t is dark brown and of
a .sawdust consistency.
Saw Not a Fat Man.
The effect of the general under
nourishment is clearly seen in the viii
lagos. 1 did not see a corpulent per-
son and most of the people appear
sallow. The streets of the villages
are filled with children between the
ages of two and four years. born dur
the war. Nearly all have an I'M
healthy appearance.
They Are Not Interested.
The most noticeable feature Of the
appearance of the people is their
apathy and lack of interest, which is
probably due to encouragement and
lack of nourishment. The American
soldiers have shown no lack of pep
and ginger" in their movements
about the villages, in striking contrast
to the action of the towns folks. In
Treves and ,Saarburg the streets ARE
almost Wholly Without traffic.
In two days there. I saw only two
autorn obiles. One was owned by the
burgomaster. The. other had iron
tires and was driven by German
placer. There are few horse-drawn
