ABERDEEN PROVING
 GROUNDS RETAINED

Washington, Dec 20.-Retention of the proving grounds at Aberdeen, Md. and gradual development of the gov- ernnlent ordnance plant at Neville Islad, Pa, to the full scope of the plans laid for it during the war are definite projects of the War Depart ment. Assistant Secretary Crowell who is in diect charge of the dispo- sal of all sup1us war material said today there is no disposition to. aban- don either of these establishments.
 The Neville Island project contem- plated the expenditure of $65,O00,00 in order to furnish new facilities for big gun manufacture. The new plant will tun out big guns of all calibres, including the forgings. all of which the government has hereto fore obtained from private concerns. MT. Crowell said it is now planned to allow the plant to develop natural ly with the usual year to year ap. propriations. The assistant secretary mada it plain that he does not favor

 C0NCLAVE DEAD"
covs yorthclfffe; atmosphere of Sec. recy and Half Truths Bad for Pros- npcts of Peace COnfercnce.'

Paris, Dec. 20 (By The Associated Dress. .)-Iord Northcliffe, chairman of the London headquarters of the British mission to the United States, who is visiting Paris today gave to associated Press the following state meut regarding his ideas as to the need of open diplomacy in conducting he peace negotiations so that ,ne ,eople may know what is going on. 1 Nothing can be worse for the pros npcts of the coming conference" said Iord Northcliffe, than an atmos here of secrecy and half truths. Yet inn to the present. there has been no official statement that the momentous meetings about to take place. will be held in accordance with President Wilson's expressed views on the ques- ton of open diplomacy.
 "The days of secret conclaves are dead and gone. Clandestine assemb-
 lies are the harbingers of intrigue, suspicion and possible deception. It would be intolerable that the fate of whole nations-great and small should be decided in secret. Shall the destnies of millions of peoples. in all quarters of the globe, be left to the >tender mercies of a comparative handful of delegates, against whose enactments there is no pubuic appeal? Such would be mockery of that prin- cple of self determination of free na- dons which has been fought for and won in thls war.
 Labor, upon which the great loss es of life during the. war have main y fallen, is alarmed at the prospect of great world plans being carried out without it's knowledge It is reported |trom London, that the labor party has sent 2 strong protest to our govern |nent, which so far has done nothing

 The British press and people may pe ieIled upon to support fully. the ffesidents enlightened expression as to the need of publicity at the momen- tous meetings expected to begin in raris on the sixth of January. Surely the world has suffered enough from secret diplomacy to realize that med. lalVailSm Of that kind is totall incom- patlble with the conception of lea sne Of free nations. A great part of the fresidents popularity is due to the knowledge that he is she father of open diplomacy. which, is understood would be the course adopted at the forthcoming sessions.
 We. having learned enough of the evil of secrecy, during the last four and half years, therefore, are alarm ed at rnmors, which have not yet been officially contradicted, that the doings of the peace conference are to be wrapped in a black cloak of silence. So far as the United States is con- cerned, I have been assured that neither the French nor American governments will exercise any control over the cables conveying news of the proceedings of the conference except such amount of control as is necessary in rationing to each newspaper and news distribution agency, made obli- gatory by the fact that the Atlantic cables are loaded beyond their capa- city,

The Weather Cock.

In France, Belgium and England
each Church is surmounted by the
brass figure of a Growing cock, to
remind passers by not to deny their
Savior like Peter who denied Him
thrice ere the Growing of the cock.
AS you read these lines men are
dying Christ-Like to save you and
each of you and yours from the I'M
speakable atrocities of the Hun!
Are you doing your full duty by
those suffering dying soldiers? Are
you like Peter denying them or Ju-
das-likel selling them for thirty
pieces of silver?
Ii is your duty-aye your glori-
GUS privilege to do not merely your
bit, but your best for your defen-
ders-your saviors. When you
buy a Liberty Bond, you have done
a splendid piece of business for
yourself, but that is not enough.
Not everyone can fight the German
somewhere--it is is up to you to
find how you can best serve your
country. To do this you must quit
thinking of how much money you
can make; and begin thinking how
much you can do to win this real
war. If it be not won, you and all
you have are lost!
