Hits Patriotic ":Grandstandinq' p

WASHINGTON. Jan. Ex-senator
Kenyon, who. recently returned from
a visit to the French front and to Eng
land today, warned the senate against
Germany's peace offers and stories
that the country was exhausted.
Nothing could assist Germany more"
he declared.
Those who are trying to help in
bringing about patched.up peace and
lend their influence in that direction
are weakening the American forces.
weakening American preparation, he
said, "and they had best to remember
that it will cost us more now to lose
this war than to win It,"
Senator Kenyon in relating his ex-
periences said that what he had seen
in France, had aroused him to such
pitch that he wished the kaiser
might be compelled to be at sea in an
open boat that was being shelled, that
the palaces of the German rulers
might be blown and that they might
be placed where bombs dropped

clared. I'VE must do it as quickly as
possible. We must cut red tape: stop
quarrelling about the guns and like
things, and carry this thing through
on businesslike principles. Is it not
possible for each individual in this
country to quit thinking about what
some one else should do and resolve
to do everything he can do? 1t is not
enough to our bit. We must do our
best There is too much grandstand-
ing and limelighting: too much patri-
otic posing and not enough sacrifice.
"Out of this war will come great
things to our people. We will have
no hyphenated Americanism in this
country. 1t is not time for partisan
ship nor politics. and may say it is
no time for inefficiency in any depart
ments of our government"
Senator Kenyon said that in this
spirit of non-partisanship' he would
like to see a coalition cabinet includ

welt and that the service Of William
H. Taft might be used in some Of the

Samuel g. Blythe in Saturday Evening
Post.
The financial center Of the world, as
the world Is at present constituted. or
as it is likely to be for some time to
come. is the junction of Broad and
Wall Streets in New York. Here stand
the Subtreasury. the House Of Morgan,
the Stock Exchange, the Hanover
hard by are scores of other tremend-
Gus money institutions. Here is the
center of the worlds money mart, and
here and hereabouts are the counters,
strong boxes and offices OF the men
who are managers and trustees Of that
mart.
1t was raining on the worlds finan-
cial center on the afternoon OF We'd
nesday, October "a. 1917-raining a
hard. cold, drenching rain. and the
wind blowing In from the sea whipped
that cold rain across the open spaces
In sheets. 1t was q nasty afternoon
a time TO stay indoors. Everybody who
could, and some who shouldn't stayed
indoors too. The curb market, down
Broad Street q bit, had stopped an
hour and half before. The clerks
were getting ready to scuttle for the
Subway. The lights were lit, and
shone mistily through the wet. A dis
NAL day was dismally closing.
An old man, little bent at the
shoulders, without overcoat or UNI
brella, came to the junction Of the two
streets, buffeting his way through the
rain and hurrying as fast as he was
able for some important place. He
met another man, younger. big and
sturdy, who was on an errand through
the wet. They stopped for a moment,
shook hands and said a word or two.
Then the old man hastened along Wall
Street, and the younger man turned
down Broad.
That was at half after four o'clock
on the afternoon Of Wednesday, Oc-
tober twenty-fourth- The older man
was George F. Baker, chairman Of the

institutions in the world.

VICTORY NOW
IN SIGHT FOR
SUFFRACETTES
Support of President Makes
Passage of Amendment by
House Seem Sure.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1O.-One OF
the long and hard fought goals of
the woman suffrage cause seemed to
be in sight today when the house took
up debate upon the constitutional
amendment
By the approval of President Will
son, suffragettes were sure that the
Susan B. Anthony amendment would
poll more than the necessary two
thirds when the house began voting at
O'Clock this afternoon
So certain were the suffragettes of
success in the house they already have
turned their attention to the senate
where the amendment waits on the
calendar but without such favorable
prospects. They are hopeful however
that with the Presidents aid they will
break down the opposition and secure
passage there too. The question would
be ready for submission to the states
and years of efforts would become re-
ality.
Today's debate furnished a spectac-
ular scene. The house was In happy
mood and heard the arguments with
applause and laughter. Women pack
ed the galleries. 1t was a field day
for the suffragettes and buoyant with
the expectation Of victory they made
the most of the occasion.

ters that an uprising Of the people

socialists.
In either case the crown OF the
kaiser might be in dire peril on the
surface of conditions. Many students
are skeptical on this phase OF IT,
though, believing that the Hohen.
zollern house, which has thrown on
assailants' blows before, will find a
way out. --.~
Hindenburg Stays Popular
Hindenburg has remained IN favof
throughout the long months and years
when others bobbed up AS reign1ng
favorites for time and then fell. AS
a consequence he is a power. The
armies swear by him and his rectpro-
cal staunchness for anything the army
wants puts him in position where he
will not listen to peace terms not en-
tirely in accord with the old militarls-
tic ideas.
Ludenberg is in the same position.
The Bavarian even with peace nego-
tiations on said In q speech:
"The terms of our enemy are ex-
orbitant We will not give up an inch
of German ground and must try and
safeguard our frontiers"
