PAYS WAR NURSES TRIBUTE
COUNCIL OF NATIONAL DEFENSE
LAUDS SELF-SAcRIFICE.
Old and Young Women Have Shown
Great Devotion to Duty Dur.
ing Epidemic.

Washington, Nov. 20. - Tribute to
nurses in the war, many Of whom sac
rificed their lives, is paid in a public
statement authorized by the Council
of National Defense, as follows:
"The committee on nursing, general
medical board, Council OF National De-
fense, considers it most fitting at this
time to express its deep sensibility Of
the heroism of it's sister nurses and
nurse students during the recent cpl
demic.
These women, from the youngest
to the oldest, have been untiring, +,
their efforts in behalf of their patients,
have shown as great heroism, as great
devotion to duty, and as much SELF
sacrifice as our nurses in France, and
in so doing have fallen at their posts
in large numbers.
"To them and to the innumerable
volunteers who met every test Of fear
lessness and self-forgetfulness, for
their noble service to the nation and
to humanity, this committee pays its
highest tribute"

COMMUTES MOONEY SENTENCE
CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR SAVES
MAN FROM GALLOWS.
Statement Reviews Case Fully and
Quotes Two Messages From
President Wilson.

Sacramento, CAL, Nov. 30.-The sem
tence of Thomas J. Mooney, sentenced
to be hanged Dec. 13, in connection
with the deaths Of 10 persons from
bomb explosion in San Francisco
In July, 1916, was committed by Gov.
ernor w. D. Stephens to life impris-
onment.
In giving the announcement of the
governors decision, his private secre-
tary, Martin Madsen, said the COM
mutation was signed, but that further
than the governors written statement
there would be no comment. -- -'-'"-.
The statement reviews the case fully
and quotes in their entirety the two
messages from President Woodrow
Wilson in which the action now taken
by the governor was suggested.
The communication, says the COVER
nor, reduces the case to the status Of
that of Warren K Billings.
81 refuse to recognize this case as
in any fashion representing clash
between capital and labor" the gov
ernor says, and he characterizes as
absurd the propaganda that would
make Mooney appear as martyr to-
the cause Of labor.

GREATER PEACE WAR AHEAD.
DANIELS ASSERTS DEMOCRACY
MUST BE MADE SAFE.
Deliberations Of the Coming Confer
enee Should Be Guided by Prin-
ciple and Justice.

Buffalo, Nov. 29.-Deliberations of
the coming peace conference should
be guided by principle and justice,
touched with mercy to the weak, and
not by passion or emotion, said Secre-
tary Daniels, speaking at Buffalo's
community Thanksgiving service.
1--WE are here" said the navy Sec
retary. Ito render thanks to the God
of nations for the widest victory ever
achieved by the forces of freedom-to
take counsel how peace won by so
much valor and sacrifice may long
endure-to acclaim with our spirits
the brave youths who lie under the
white crosses on the plains Of France
and Flanders and those who found
sepulchre under the seas"
"The Allies and the United States
having won the war;" Mr.. Daniels said,
"the theory that every man in the
world, high or low, rich or poor, shall
have chance to make the most of
himself is now the fixed philosophy of
all nations.
1T now remains" he continued, 'to
make democracy safe for the world by
defining its ends, clarifying its pur-
poses, and enacting into law it's es-
sential ideals, and herein lies the path
to just, honorable and enduring peace.
We have won the great war. Let us
now proceed to win the greater peace.
Germany must be dealt with firm
ly at the peace conference" said Mr..
Daniels, because the sins of her
rulers and all who followed their spirit
are black and bitter, and her crimes
deserve such treatment and such pun.

But no policy of hatred" he said,
mo spirit of vengeance, should guide
this world renewal"

Paris, Nov. 29.-William Hohenzol.
lern can be extradited, in the opinion
of Professor Barthelemy of the Paris
law faculty, who explains that his
guiding principle is that when there
is an apparent conflict between law
and common sense the solution is al.
ways found by following the latter.
Regicides Held Criminals.
The theory that political crime is
any crime inspired by purely political
motives, the professor declares, has
long been abandoned. He notes that
Belgium in 1856 classed regicides
among common law criminals. Crimes
such as the assassination of President
Carnot of France and King Humbert
of Italy were inspired by political mo-
tives, he points out, and yet the au-
thors Of them were executed.
Atrocities Condemned.
The atrocities ordered by former
Emperor William, the professor con-
tinues, are condemned even in a state
of war by international law and con-
stitute common law crimes. To main
tain that they are not because the OBJ
ject for which they were committed
was political Is, he argues, an absurd.
ity.
Bavarian Disclosures Place Guilt.
Washington, Nov. 29. - Popular de.
mand In Germany for trial of the for
mer kaiser at Berlin is growing, &C.
cording to diplomatic advices from
Berne.
The recent Bavarian disclosures
concerning the Prussian responsibility
for the war has given considerable
impetus to the Socialistic demand that
Wilhelm and his war lords be made to
answer for their crimes, the cables
stated.
The decisive character OF the Ba.
varian disclosures are beginning to be
generally understood, the advices de.
clare.
German Government Responsible.
"The Germans no longer attempt to
deny that the government of Wilhelm
II. not only wished the war to break
out, but that they also prepared and
planned it. The revelations do not al
low any doubt to be preserved that the
German government is indeed respon.
sible for the war and for the invasion
of Belgium"
The National Zeitung of Basle terms
the disclosures of universal impor-
tance" and states that "other pub.
lications relating to those unlucky
days Of July, 1914, will surely follow,
but the reports Of Count Lochfeld are
sufficient and indisputable proofs of
the responsibility of Germany and
Austria In the origin of the war. The
guilt Of Germany appears to be even
greater than was believed.

THREE AMERICANS
MAY PARTICIPATE
IMPRESSION GROWS PEACE DELE.
CATION WILL BE LIMITED
TO THAT NUMBER.
PRESIDENT WILL NOT ACT
Speculation Narrows Down to Robert
Lansing, Henry White and Colo
mel e. M. House as Prob
able Delegates.

Washington, Nov. 29.-The impress
sion is growing among those who have
talked with President Wilson about
the peace conference that the Amer.
ican delegation will be limited to
three members, and speculation over
the personnel has about narrowed
down to these names:
Robert Lansing, secretary Of state;
Henry White, ambassador to France
and to Italy under the Mckinley ad-
ministration, and Col. E. M. House.
No Announcement Yet.
There has been no announcement.
and there may be none, before the
President addresses Congress next
week, but it was said White House
that these men would be the Amer
lean advisers.
1t was also indicated definitely that
reports of the President having de-
eided to personally sit at the peace
table as delegate were untrue. He
goes to take part in the great prelim-
mary meetings Of the heads of the
associated governments and to see the
formal conference under way, but not
to serve as a delegate.
Large Party Of Attaches.
In addition to the accredited dele
gates, there will be a large party, in
cluding the military, naval diplomatic
and economic experts and other spe-
'Cialists in the multitudinous questions
to be dealt with.
Among them will be men Of high
rank, prepared to participate in dis
cussions that will take place outside
of the formal conference, and in posi-
ton below only the accredited dele
gates, who, it is assumed, will take
ambassadorial rank.
The exact time of the Presidents
sailing for Europe apparently is still
unknown He is expected to leave the
day after he addresses the new ses-
sion of Congress, beginning Monday,
and the address usually Is delivered
the second day Of the session.

admission that many Of the largest

other concessions calculated ultimate
