IL theFe was dissenting opinion from
The popular verdict in the financial dis
trict yesterday over President Wilson'S
reply to Germany it was not in evil
dence. Bankers. brokers and customers
seemed TO vie with each other digging
up some super-superlative which would
express their favorable opinion of the
Presidents latest
Then the discussion invariably drifted
into, What will he Germsny's reply?"

President Wilson. keeps his ear to the

And the tape showed that what were
classified as peace stocks the might be-

said the broker, THE people say war

There were many others who believed

Still others remarked that Sir Erie Ged-

lead the public to expect a prolGngation

would rot give the Germans a chance to

would be disastrous TO the Allies" he
remarked, and to the cause of peace"
"Some people get their ideas twisted

banker in the downtown district yes
terday. II heard a man say today that
President Wilson in his latest answer
had shown that he was led by what the
people say and think instead Of being a
leader himself and telling the people
what is right for them to think. My
idea of autocracy as distinguished from
democracy is just in what this man criti-
cized ! believe The leader of a demo-
cratic people should keep so closely in
touch with them that he will almost
know instjnctively what they want and
act accordingly, while the man who gets
obsessed with the idea that he is a
leader and should mold the thoughts and
ideas OF the people to his beliefs is no
more nor less than an autocrat, be he
Kaiser or President"

MAKES COSTUMES
INTO GIFTS FOR
BOYS At FRONT

What to do with discarded theatre
cal costumes that cannot be ''redone"
for next season, a question that has
.Aroublsd show managers since the
drama was in It's Infancy, Is answered
today by Miss Harlie Wayne, song bird
Of 1.-THE Golden Crook" company, play
ing the GGyety Theater this week.
Miss Mayne thinks the odds and
ends OF costumes. especially tights
and himBy lingerie that many enter
tGiners wear for q season, should be
made up into useful presents for
American soldiers who have gone TO
the trenches in France. To prove her
idea is not based on theory alone,
Miss MAyne has made kits OF silk in
which Uncle Sans AghtsTs can keep
their trinkets, souvenirs. and tlds bits
from home. Thousands OF yards OF
silk 30 to weste every year. or de-
teriorate so badly that they are Of
small value, when the seasons cos
tunes are laid aside, according to Miss
Mayne.
Discarded tights make the best
kits and holders Imaginable" said the
burlssque pTina donna today. Some
old silk. a needle and thread, and q
little spare time, will make many a
pretty and useful trinket for the boys
over there"
Mas Msyns has figured that II. every
feminine principal on the Columbia
burleGqus wheel would devote her
leisure moments to making things for
the troops from discarded garments
the work OF the Red Cross in this
respect would be greatly lessened.
