M'ADOO'S PLACE
Virginia Congressman
is Selected for the
Place.
MR., GLASS NOT READY
TO MAKE STATEMENT
Has Not Accepted-Understood That
Nomination Goes to Senate When
Prospective Secretary of
Treasury Decides.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Representa-
tive Carter Glass of Virginia, chair
man of the house banking and cur
rency committee, is understood to
have been offered the post of secre-
tary Of the treasury by President
Wilson and his nomination is expect
ed to go to the senate Immediately
if he decides to accept.
Members Of the house said today
that Mr.. Glass's reluctance to sur
render the seat in congress to which
he has just been reelected after 1S
years Of service was the only con-
sideration holding up the appoint
ment. Mr.. Glass himself would not
talk further than to say that he was
not ready to make any statement.
The understanding both at the
capitol and in official circles gener-
ally is that President Wilson had the
nomination prepared last night after
a conference with Mr.. Glass. If Mr..
Glass accepts, he will go in, possibly
after Secretary Tumulty communi-

creasing uproar Of farewells. The
noise Of whistles and sirens became
deafening. The rigging Of ships dock

The inhabitants Of the occupied

briefly described the American entry
offering no editorial comment on it.
General Harry Smith, who is IN

Washington, Dec. 3.-The Ameri-
can government has made no sugges-
ton whatever to Chile and Peru as
to the disposition of the disputed
provinces of Tacna and africa. This
was announced officially tonight at
the state department.
"The state department." said the
announcement, "has made no sugges-
ton whatever as to territory but has
urged that everything possible be
done to maintain peaceful relations" "
This was the first information that
the United States government had
communicated with the Chilean and
Chilean and Peruvian governments
concerning the dispute over the two
provinces. .:., ...s-- ,..' :.
Diplomatic observers here suggest
ed some time ago that should the
American government be asked to in
tervene it probably would take into
consideration Bolivia's claim be-
cause the disputed territory was once
part Of that republic and through
it Bolivia could again be given an
outlet to the Pacific. Officials, how
ever, have declined to comment on
this suggestion.
According to official information
received today at the Chilean embas-
sy, the statement that the military
and naval reserves have been called
to arms is incorrect. What took
place, according to this information,
was an administrative measure Of
an internal nature" including de.
cision that it was advisable to con.
tinue in service the drafts recently
discharged.

that it behooves this country to 20 well
