ETANIBULIWSKY PEASANT
 LEADER SOUGHT.

London, Dec. 6-M. Stambuliwsky, leader of the Peasants party and head of the New Peasants govern ment in Bulgaria, was among those who sought to prevent King Ferdin- and from committing Bulgaria to war on the side of the Central Pow CTS.
 At a conference of party leaders held with the King at the palace, M, Stambuliwslly spoke his mind freely, telling the king that he was leading the country to destruction, and that he would pay for his crime with his crown and perhaps with his head.
 To this the King replied thu. Stambuliwsky need have no concern for the royal head, but had better take care of his own. Later Stam- buliwsky was imprisoned.

Bielaski Tells Senate Com, mittee of His Trip to Ger
 many in 1916 for Hearst.

Washington, Dec. 6-In telling his story of German propaganda in America, A. Bruce Bielasli, chief of the bureau of investigation of the de- partment of justice, today laid before the senate committee investigating brewery and German propaganda ca blegrams exchanged in 1916 by Count won Bernstorfr, then ambassador here. and the Berlin foreign office. One of Bernstorff' messages urged that special favor be shown William ! Bayard Hale, an American about to visit Berlin as a newspaper cores l pondent. becadse he was employed ! hy the Hearst organs, which the message said, had outspokenly placed l themselves on the German side. BieIash told the committee that Hale was on the Hearst payroll for | $300 g. week, and also was employed at $15,0O0 a year by publicity or l ganization formed in this country by Dr. Bernard Dernburg, the German l propagandist.
 i Suggesting on June 2, 1916. that the time was favorable ito get Hearst | to send first rate journalist to Ber- ! lin," Bernstoff told the foreign of 1 fleet that the man selected was Hale who he said, had been a confiden- tiat agent of tho embassy since the i beginning of the war and was bound as such by contract to June 2S, 1918 ! Hearst" the ambassadors message said, lis not aware that Hale is our agent, but knows him only as a Ger manophiie journalist, who has contrib uted leading articles to papers"
 Hale, according to Bielaski, was
 paid by the German government tc
 visit Rumania. and if possible prevent
 entrance of that nation into the war
 MT. Hearst, Bielaski said, was ignor'
 ant of Hale's employment on the lat
 ter mission.
 Following is the message of June
 sent by Bernstorff through Bueno:
 Aires and Stockholm:
 'In conformity to your excellency'! ; wish, I suggest that the present is 2
 favorable time to get Hearst to send z
 first rate journalist to Berlin. Int
 man selected, w. B. Hale, has been
 as your excelIency knows, since th'
 beginning of the war, a confidentia | bS6pL OL the embassy ana as SuCR nal been bound by contract till June 23 , 1918. In making this arrangemen the main idea was that Hale would | be the most suitable man to start tn l reorganization of the news servic l after peace on the right lines.
 q request full confidence may b accorded to Hale, who will bring witt , him letter of recommendation iron
 me to Dr. Hamman. Hearst is no
 aware that Hale is our agent, bu
 knows him only as a Germanophil
 journalist, who has contributed lead
 ing articles to papers"
 Another message dated June 5 1916, said:
 "Hale tells me, and Hearst con
 firms, that the latter is rather hur that on Wiegands account the worl . gets all the important Berlin inter s views. l recommend that under suit d able circumstances, Hale should, fo
 obvious reasons, be given preference : as Hsarst organs have during tn l course of war always placed them - selves outspokenly on our side"

eral of allied relief was presented in writing, but a number of details were not settled and the entire question is held in abeyanCe. The appointment of an interallied commission on eco monies, finance and shipping ton- mage also was discussed tentatively Some objection has arisen to this plan on the ground that the commission would have great power in the control and distribution of raw materials and might lead to the establishment of an international committee, which would take the place of legislative control over exports and raw mater ials.

Humility Communicates Freely With Chief As If
 At White House. SPECIAL CODE MADE BY CIPHER EXPERTS Great Welcome Planned for President by City Coun-
 Gil of Brest.

Washington, Dec. 6-Messages di- recting the disposition of official busi- ness have begun to reach the White House from President Wilson at sea aboard the transport George Wash ington. Secretary Tumulty, who went to New York to see the President off for the peace conference Wednesday, got back to his desk today in time to handle the first of the instructions.
 It is understood that all the wireless dispatches so far have dealt only with routine legislative business and that except for a report on the nomination of Carter Glass as secretary of the treasury, it has not been necessary to bring any matter of importance to the Presidents attention. MT. Tumulty expects, however, to communicate with his chief almost as freely as though he were in the White House. A special code for the purpose has been devised by cipher experts, and l the executive messages are given pr- ority over all other business through the naval radio.
 The appointment oe a new director general of railroads, it was said today. probably will be delayed at least until near the first of the year.
 Paris, Dec. 6.---The city csuncil of Breft, where President WilSn will land, is preparing an elaborate vecep- ton for the American executive, says a telegram from the mayor of Bfest, @ Socialist, to the Paris Socialist newspaper Humanite.

Tn that case, on the road from the port to the railrpad depot there will be triumphal arch of gorse and broom (nationaI plants of Brittany), with | trophies of Breton costumes.

THE COURAGE OF THE INITIATED

Some eight months ago modest little
newspaper put in its appearance in Paris
Many have done so during the war but
the singularity of LA CRETE Generate" is
that it is a funny paper, and its motto is
Laugh Anyway Heartless as it
sounds, this comic paper is the most
touching and most inspiring of publica-
tions, for it is run entirely by those whose
faces have been mutilated in battle. The
greatest miracles of surgery are practis-
ed on these men. The operations are at
tended with torture, and in many cases
are only an eXpedient The patients will
test the real politeness of the French, for
the situation W IL demand that they shall
not be pitied, en- by a glance. Their
paper, they announce, is meant ''to COM
municate to Frcnchmen at home a gayety
not in the least feigned, not at all ficti-
tious in word, real and sincere We do
not wish to excite pity of our contempor-
aries, being ourselves very we'll satisfied
with our wounds" The paper, according
to the Foreign News Bureau of the Wo-
mans Committee. Council of National
Defense where we find the item, was
held up day because the editor had to
undergo another operation; he came out
from the anaesthetic and continued max
ing jokes.

RELEASING TRANSPORTATION.

We have seen the question of freight
transportation discussed in the papers as
a most important one We know theoret-
ically that Uncle Sam needs every possible
cubic foot of freight car space to carry
to the seaboard wheat sugar, meat, ar
my clothing, artillery, munitions, and an
infinite number of other essentials. When
the railroads have brought these to the
seaboard, every possible cubic foot of sea-
going freighters is needed to carry them
abroad for the use of our army and the
use of our allies All this we realize, but
without the feeling that it has any per-
sonal application to ourselves. II we
look into the matter more closely, hoWev-
err, we will find that we can do good deal
to help Uncle Sam out and forward his
plans.
All freight car space that We can save
from our own needs can be utilized direct
ly for the purposes of the country. If we
can eat foods that are grown in our own
locality certain amount of car space is
released This can be used in carrying
commodities to the seaboard or in bring
ing fuel or material to factories which are
doing work for the government. # in
purchasing we can select goods made in
a near locality in preference to distant
one we are allowing the railroads to SUBJ
stitute short haul for long one If we
can use products Of our own country in
stead Of imported products we are releas-
ing ship space An instance recently
given to the public will show this Makers
of candy and ice cream have been requir-
ed for some months to lessen their con-
sumption of sugar 20 per cent. Mr.. Hoov-
er tells us that this reduction has released
$4,000 tons Of shipping for the use of the
government The shipping so freed has
been used partly in carrying wheat to
Belgium and partly in carrying coal to
New England factories which produce
war goods
Let it become one of your wartime
principles to use home products and local
products toward your needs wherever
possible The transportation space saw
ed by an Individual or family is neces-
sarily small, but as in all kinds of conser-
walton it is the aggregate which counts.
You will feel satisfaction in the know
ledge that you are doing your best in your
individual capacity toward helping out
the government and meeting its needs.

UNITED WE WILL STAND.

The fact is becoming every day more
and more apparent that German is find
ing united foe too strong for all her
boasted efficiency. The allied battle lines
are standing firm, and the Prussian OBJ
jective of Paris or the Channel ports
seems as far from being attained as at
any time since the German hordes were
turned back at the Marine
But when Prussian arms fail, Prus-
sian strategy gets on the job And Prus-
sian strategy is on the job these days
as large as life. The object of that STRAIT
egy is to effect disaffection and division
in the ranks of its enemies. Well the
Hohenzollerns know that with the Allies
thoroughly united in aims and methods,
the Prussian ambition is doomed.
German propaganda humbled Russia
not German arms. German intrigue
was the one cause of the disastrous Aus
trian drive into Italy German propa-
ganda will now-is now-aimed at drv-
ing wedge between the allied nations.
No opportunity will be neglected, it mat
ters not how small it may be, or sowing
dissensions between the nations leagued
against her
So, if you even think that we have
grievance against any of our allies, lock
that thought up carefully in your heart
and never let it see the light of day till
this gigantic conflict is fought to finish
And when that result shall have been
achieved, you will doubtless find that you
can thank Prussian strategy for having
ever entertained doubt of those who are
dying by the side of our sons.
When our troops first began crossing
the Atlantic there was a general feeling
of dread throughout the country that
they would be at the mercy of the dread
submarines. AS the time passes, how
ever, and our transports one after anoth-
er arrive safely on the other side and re-
turn for another load this feeling is grad
ually leaving the public mind and we look
with confidence to the prospect of putting
millions of men into France with mini
mum of loss from the assassins of the
sea- It might be well to mention the two
leading agencies in this task of rendering
the passage of our troops comparatively
safe. Some have criticised our navy for
seeming inactivity, appearing not to
know that but for it our troop ships would
be at the mercy of the undersea boats. A
German military expert, in explaining
that country's poor success in preventing
the passage of our troops, says: "Ameri-
can transports travel in conveys well pro-
tected against attack and are very fast
Thus the submarines have most diff
cult and dangerous task. It is
not important for us to destroy the Amer

WAR SUMMARY
OF THE WEEK

The great German offensive, which
began FIVE weeks ago, dwindled down
during the past week to minor opera
tiOns, accompanied by intense artil-
Iery activity.
The first part Of the great battle
brought the Huns almost to Amiens
but they were halted about ten miles
east Of that city. The second part
of the battle, which was even more
critical for our allies and ourselves,
was an attack on the British positions
in Flanders, with Hazebrouck as one
Of the main detectives. The British,
though greatly outnumbered, sue
ceeded in holding an vital positions
until reinforcements arrived.
It was realized by all observers
that, though the German drive was
halted, there must, before long, be
another attack. The Germans could
not afford to let the drive stop, as
that would be clear admission of
decisive defeat. Shortly before We
went to press, news came of a re-
newal of the drive toward Aimens.
American troops, in steadily in
creasing numbers, are participating
in the active fighting. Some of them
are being brigaded in the British
armies, and they are everywhere Civ
ing an excellent account of them
selves.
There has been some desperate
fighting around Seicheprey in the
American sector, and our own troops
showed conspicuous courage. David
Griggs, of East Hampton, Conn, a
boy of 19, passed through the enemy
barrage seven times to carry ammu-
milton to his comrades. As PhiladeE
phia lawyer with the Red Cross tells
OF two Americans. armed only with
automatic pistols, who charged an
enemy machine gun, killed eight
Germans, and captured the gun.
British vessels have made a daring
raid on the German submarine base
at Zeebrugge. They destroyed all
the guns on the mole, demolished the
sheds, destroyed vast quantities of
munitions, sank a German destroyer
and blocked the mouth of the canal.
