PROFITEERING IN OUTFIT

The national service commission Of
Congre gational churches reports hav-

pointed BY the government from Con-
gregational churches, but to lack
$4,000 for the balance Of them It
states that other bodies have raised
and expended far more for similar
purposes. From seVral directions
come loud complaints Of profiteering
on the part Of Outfitters Of chaplains,
and also OF commissioned officers in
the army and navy. The complaints
say that some consideration seems to
be given 10 privates in the outfits
they purchase beyond government
equipment, but for chaplains and Of
ficers the trade holds out no mercy
The argument seems to be that they
receive big salaries, and ought to pay
in proportion.

appeals to young men Of their

boards had issued an appeal to their
young men TO go to college, but
Lutherans have Just supplemented
their appeal with one setting forth
in detail the governments proposal
to allow youths to go to war and go
to college at the same time. Colleges
are responding to government con-
ditions, and boys are looking forward
to being called into service II the
war lasts a year longer. The govern
ment's plan is heartily endorsed in

Mr.. Sims said the measure was sent

The bill provides that the President,
at his discretion, may acquire and op-
crate certain facilities of the packers.

Ideals of Britain
And u. S. Agree,
Says Roosevelt
Believes Arbitration Treaty
Between English Speak

Peace for Entire World

In letter to George Haven Putnam
president of the American Rights
League, made public yesterday, Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt declared his belief
that the time had come when America
and Great Britain could agree to a
universal arbitration treaty. The let
ter, which was written in reply to one
written by Major Putnam relative to
the English Speaking Union, follows:
Il agree absolutely with YOU that this
was has brought home to the great ma
Jorlty of thinking men in this country
the fact that we, the English-speaking
peoples, of the United States and the
British Empire, possess both ideals and
interests in common. We can best do
our duty, as members of the family of
nations, to maintain peace and justice
throughout the world by first rendering
y impossible that the peace between
ourselves can ever be broken. | agree
entirely with what you say as to the
immense service rendered to US bv
England, France, Italy, Belgium and
other allies, and as to our duty to give
tangible expression to our sense of this
obllgatlon Moreover, | agree that
there is no reason why there should
not be on the two sides of the Atlantic
the same relation for peace that has
for century obtained on the two sides
Of the Great Lakes.
81 regard the British navy as prob
ably the most potent nstrumentality
for peace in the world | do not be
lieve we should try to built navy
in rivalry to it, but l do believe we
should have the second navy in the
world. Moreover l am now prepared
to say what five years ago I would
not have said. [ think the time has
come when the United States and the
British Empire can agree to uni
versal arbitration treaty. In other
words, ] believe that the time has
come when we should say that under
no circumstances shall there ever be
a resort to war between the United
States and the British Empire, and
that no question can ever arise be-
tween them that cannot be settled in
Judicial fashion, in some such man
ner as questions between states of our
own Union would be settled"

Allies, "for it is certain that these

After discussing various proposals
for the disposal of the German war
ships, Mr. Hurd says the only course to
adopt is to distribute them among the
Allies in accordance with the losses
which each has suffered in maintaining
command Of the sea.
German submarines, on the other
hand, should cease to exist. Mr.. IIurd
suggests they be broken up and the
parts used for other purposes.

Cologne Is Split
Over Government
For Rhineland
Republic Not Yet Definitely
Proclaimed by Radicals,
While Conservatives Hold
Ont for United Germany

COLOGNE, Dec. (By The Associ-
ated Press) Cologne, like other Ger
man cities, is scething with political
ideas born Of the revolution. Various
factions arc at grips over the future
government of the Rhincland, which,
with Wcstphalia, was declared scpa-
rate republic at meeting Of Radical
Social Democrats the other day.
The Conservatives are holding out
for united Germany. 1t is said that
a separate government which would be
known as the Republic of Northwest
Germany has not yet been proclaimed
definitely by the Radicals, who never
liked the Prussian government, and
regime in Berlin.
BoIshcviki Active
The Rhineland as a whole was
against the old regime. but the peo-
pie, while united in this, have split
on the rock of possible separation from
Germany.
The Soldiers and Workmen's Coun-
ell of Cologne is cooperating quietly
with the old city government after
the stormy days of month ago. The
first flare of the revoiution in Cologne
came on November 7, when sixty ma
rines arrived here fresh from the
mutiny in Kiel and started trouble
for the authorities The waV already
had been we'll paved by Russian Boil
shevili, who appear to have taken ad-
Of the hard conditions result
ing from the war to stir the people TO
discomfort.
The coming of the revolutionist ma
rines was heralded in advance, but
although there were 10000 German
troops in the city no effort was made
