FOE PEACE DRIVE
TOBE STAGED SOON

THE American people must ex-
pect a German peace drive during
the coming winter. and when 1t
comes they must be ready to say
No."
This is the statement OF Floyd Glib
bons, the American war correspon-
dent who suffered the loss Of an
eye, bears a shattered arm and
wears the French Croix de Guerre
as the result of his presence under
fire with the marines on the west
front. Mr.. Gibbons comes to Wash
ington tomorrow. He will speak be-
fore the National Press Club tomor-
row night and on Sunday night will
open his lecture tour under the man
agement OF Selwyn & Co., at the
National Theater.
"The German has not got a final
victory in the field, nor is he de-
feated- He is sick OF the war. He
sees that winter will bring q change
to the advantage of the allies be-
cause OF the central command and
the arrival Of more Americans.
Therefore, from Holland and other
neutral countries will come the ap-
peals for peace.
1.-The weak sisters in this country
will be tempted to take the ground
that we should not lose more men,
and declare that Germany will be
good. II this view obtains the
whole war will have been fought in
vain, and there will be more scraps
of paper"
Mr.. Gibbons returns to America
bearing messages from Marshal Foch
and General 8ershing to the Ameri-
can people in which the two great
military leaders warn against over
confidence and too much optimism.
They particularly deplore the thought
that the war will be over by Christ
mas. In a personal letter to Mr..
Gibbons Marshal Foch tells the
American correspondent that he is
in a position to do a world OF good
to the allied cause by telling of the
actual conditions in France as he
saw them.

REPUBLICANS ROW
ON GUARDIANSHIP

= Tactionalism among the Repub-
Hcans has not ceasSd to exist. New
evidence Of ii in the Senate is af-
fcrded in the contest which Is de-
veloping. over the vacancy on the
Finance Committee left by the death
of Senator Gallinger.
This contest promises to become
animated, and, in fact is already so.
The progressiVes Republican Senators
have decided to support Senator Jones
OF Washington for the place The
conservatives will support Senator
Dillingham; of Vermont
II was at first proposed by some OF
the progressive Republicans to sup
port Senator Norris, but he did MT

Senator Jones wa then settled on.
He desires TO be IN the Finance Com
rnittee, and is entitled to considera-
ton by reason OF his length OF service
Z nthe urpef house.
BY reason OF their command of the
Cor.-nittee on Committees and the
caucus, conservative Republicans can
probably deliver the honor to Senator
Dillingham;. But the progressive Re
publicans threaten to kick up such a
row about IT that they may be given
the position in the interest OF party

will carry the fight through the eau

necessary.
They venture the opinion that the
conservatives, who are not in favor
ofradical innovations in taxation, and
who are of the high tariff school. have
too complete a grip on the Republican
side Of the committee anyhow, and,
with the cooperation of the conserva-
tive Democrats on the committee are
able to hold down profits taxes on
big business and income taxes. on
great wealth.
Down at bottom there is involved
IN this contest over g position on the
Finance Committee the question OF
taxation policies. This is really what
the trouble is about. The progressive
Republicans are determined to let the
country know that they object to con-
sentative control Of the Finance Com
mittee and want that committee made
progressive.
Their effort 70 put Senator Jones
on is preliminary 20 the fight they
will make for high profits taxes on
corporations and high income taxes
on individuals having large or ex-
tremely high incomes.

sue with regard to making the request
tssosd yesterday mandatory. II the
request is uniformly followed out
there will be no mandatory order.
In limiting that there would prob

Appeal Ignored
Months ago an appeal was issued
to motorists everywhere to conserve
EAsolenS bytaking precautions against
waste and leakage. and by care in
cutting OF motors while machines are
standing still. This request was
ignored. and while the supply OF gaso-
iene has kept up, so also has the
waste.
1t was general disregarding OF this
request that led to the order against
pleasure riding on Sunday, officials
said today. In the last six months,
especially since the oil division OF
the administration was created, the
price of Gasolene to the public has
remained about the same, and they
have been constantly told that there
is plenty Of sasolene in the country.
Many motorists began to feel that
the heralded shortage was . myth and
consequently grew careless in the use
OF the fuel, says the administration.

The division lost third Of It's

heaviest fighting In which Captain Gray
took part. He thinks the German claim
that they made an orderly retreat
at Scissors was disproved by the fact
that 60 German field guns captured
