WASHINGTON MUTE
 ON VON HERTLING
(Continued From First Pagep

in this connection: These principles must not only be proposed by the president of tte United States, but must also actually be recognized by all. states and peoples.
 But this goal has not yet been reached. There is still no court of arbitration. established by all the na- tions for the preservation of peace in the name of justice. When President Wilson incidentally says that the German chancellor is speaking to the tribunal Of the entire world, I must decline this tribunal as preju- diced' joyfuly as l would greet it. 1T an impartial court Of arbitration existed and gladly aS l would CO., operate to realize such ideals
 JnfortunatclE. however. there is no trace Of similar statements on the part of the leading powers Of the Entente. England's war aims are still thoroughly fmperillistic and she wants 10 impose on the world a peace according to Englahd's good pleasure. ''When England talks about the peoples right Of sei{-Heternination. she does not think of applying the principle to Ireland. Egypt, and India. = Wants Safegttart1s On Belgium
 It has been repeatedly said that. we do not contemplate retaining Bel giunt, but that we mHst be safe guarded from the danger of Q coun- try. with which we desire after tba war to live in peace and friendship. becoming the object of jumpin golf ground Of enemy machinafions If therefore,, a proposal came from the opposing Side;~ for example from the -govefnme ent in HaVre, we should not adopt an antagonistiG attitude. even though the discussion at first might only be unbinding.
 Meanwhile, l readily admit that President Wilson's message of Feb II constitutes perhaps, a small step toward a mutual rapprochement.''
 With reference to q statement re-. gently made by Walter Runcimat1, former president of the Board of Agriculture, in the British Cabinet the chancellor said:
 q can only agree with Mr. Runci- man if he meant that we should be much nearer peace. if proper re sponsible representatives of the bel liSerent powers Would 1nettfrl coT,- claVe for discussion. That would be: a way to remove all intentional and unntentional misunderstanding and bring about an agreement on many questions. I am thinking especially in this connection of Bel giunl.'

 ;sS Cabinet Mefnh

Washington, Feb, I2d-Bernard M Baruch has been, select@d by the president to be chairmau of the war industries board and tine indications are now that the president will not wait for the passa ge of the OvermAn bill before announcing Mr. Baruch's appointment. MT Baruch to all in tents and purposes will be minister of munitions, although he will not hold seat in the cabinet He will report directly to the president under the new plan and will be the head of a centralized supply administration
 Some of the new powers with which MT. Baruch as chairman of the war industries board will be in vested are contingent upon the pas sage of the Overman bill. There is. however, little doubt of that measura going through in the form in which t has been amended by the senate committee. While not permitting the president to create any new cXccu- i tive departments. the amended bill ! will permit him to transfer authority i and appropriations and will enable 1 him to take certain bureaus out Of { the war department and place them 1 under Mir.

. MASONIC TEMPLE CAMPAIGN.
 Already Onc-Eifth of Total Shares IS- ," sued Sold at Par.

At the weekly meeting of the cam paign committee of the Masonic Tenn pie corporation last evening report of progress was made which demon- strates the determination of Masons to lay the foundation for Masonic Temple building here.
 The committee has only been formed three weeks; but in that short space of time nearly a fifth of all the shares in the treasury have been sub scribed with about twenty-five per cent. paid in, and, to date only about one-tenth of the Masons have been seen so it is evident that on the pres ent basis of subscriptions only one half of the members will be able to get a share at par.
 The building committee is fast shaping up details for the temple and social hall.
