STOCKHOLM, March 5.-A cabinet
conference was held today to consid-

land as a result OF German interven-

While Berlin has sent a note to the

the occupation, of Finnish territory
is to be only temporary, the real mo-

understood that practically all OF Fin
land IS to be occupied on the pretense

There Is a possible chance that the
German government may have enter

Ground Cleared Away.
Peace some day is coming. Pre-.
Iiminaries to peace must take months.
Already much ground has been
cleared away in the last three years.
The Independent Socialists in Ger
many didn't dare raise their voices
three years ago when England was
pronouncing war aims which meant
the dismemberment OF Germany, Aus
tria. and Turkey II was easy for the
milItarist junkheer to rally all
classes on the ground that Germany
was lighting a defensive war. a strug-
gle for existence. Little by little the
principles originally proclaimed by
Mr. Asquith and Viscount Grey and
epitomized in Mr., Wilson's phrase
"to make the world safe for democ-
Eacy' came. to be the central idea OF
the allied cause.
Little by little the Socialists in
Germany are beginning to understand
that there is something in the en-
emy's. cry for democracy. Mr.. Wilson
lS lnAL W HndAl
not be in vain. Those who think he
would accept peace at any price sim
ply do not know the man Before the
final settlement is made, there is go
ing to be much friction, much crit
icism, much dissension, but the out
cry will come not from those who
think Mr.. Wilson Is too anxious to
make peace, but from those who will
not like the Presidents insistence on
an unselhsh and an equitable peace,
a democratic peace, one that will give
peoples more of a share in their gov
ernment and more OF a part in de-
Gliding the destinies OF their coun-
tries.
Talks PeaeeJ Makes War.
Mr.. Wilson's peace will not be
pleasing to imperialists, chauvinists,
bourbons, tories or reactionaries in
any country. It will approximate
more the peace that the British labor
party, the most powerful political
force in Great Britain today, has set
itself to obtain.
In the sense that conservative
thinkers believe these ideas are re-
mote OF accomplishment in the mod
ern world, peace is far distant. In
deed, Mr.. Wilson's kind of peace will
be much more difncult to get than
a simple peace by conquest
But the important thing to re-
member is that while Mr.. Wilson
talks peace, he also makes war with .
all the energy and might that Amer
lea can command. He is every day
authorizing construction and organ
zation and mobilization OF power |
that are intended for only one |
purpose-the defeat OF German |
by beating the German |
army it has created.

within the corporation. He is o. o.
sutton"
Answering the finding OF Auditor
Davis that "all OF the vices inherent
in contracts between corporations
having offices and directors in com
mon exist in this case" the trustees
say: There was no fraud in this
transaction either in fact or in law.
and therefore no vice. There was no
preferential class OF stockholders re-
ceiviug distribution. The stockhold-
ers sold their stock to the Southern
Realty Corporation at its value. in
elusive OF it's proportion OF undistrib-
uted surplus. When II was accepted
by the corporation at that value. the
transaction resulted substantially in
the payment on the. retiring stock OF
a dividend which the stockholders, by
their acceptance OF the stock. de
clared, and which they had a right to
declare.
dAlI stockholders were privileged to
participate in the transaction TO the
extent of their full holdings and the
transaction as concluded was by their
own election and with full accord and
agreement among themselves. II
there had been any preference. they
had a right to create it by such an
agreement"
Speaking OF the Southern Realty
Corporation, the answer says that IL
was organized for the purpose OF con
venience and legal necessity in re-
funding the mortgage indebtedness OF
the First National Fire Insurance
Company, and the only moneys paid in
connection with it's organization were
for the expenses connected with the
refunding. The Southern Realty Cor
poration could acquire the stock
Of the corporation in exchange for its
own, the answer says, and the sub
sequent transfer OF stock OF the cor
poration so acquired was not an ex-
change, but was payment TO and ac-
ceptance by the corporation ot its
own stock at value in part for the
Southern building.
Deny Fraud Allegations.
The trustees deny every allegation
made by Auditor Davis, and especial
~ deny the charges OF fraud where
ever they appear. The Southern
Realty Corporation claims to be the
owner OF the Southern Building, and
declares that the auditor had no right
to adjudicate questions as regards
the title to the building. The an
swer is signed by Attorneys J. s.
Easby-Smith. James F. Archer and
Joseph T. O'Connell, who represent
the Southern Realty Corporation.

ONE OF BEST FIGHTERS
AMERICA HAS IN AIR
Prof. Paul Van Dyke, of Paris. Thus
Writes of Lieutenant Elliott
w. Springs.

Col. Leroy Springs has received
the following letter, which will be of
keen interest to his friends and those
of his son. Elliott Springs:
American University Union in Eu-
rope, Rue de Richelieu, Royal
Palace Hotel.
Princeton Bureau. 16 Pail Mall. East
S. w. l., Paris October IL, 1918.
My Dear Mr.. Springs:
just drop you line to say that
your son, Elliott. has been in to see
us several times recently. He has a
good long leave at Paris. which he
has thoroughly earned. Perhaps he
is too modest to tell you. but he is
one OF the very best fighters Ameri-
ca has in the air and has already
won a great many victories. He
seems to be very we'll. l hope we
shall see him frequently during his
stay in Paris.
Believe me.
Yours very sincerely,
(Signed) Paul Van Dyke.

Prices Are Mounting.

Prices of some commodities and
CONNECTIONS and fruits particularly
have mounted so that the average
person OF moderate means feels
they are beyond the realms of his
pocketbook. although he is admon-
ished daily, if not oftener, to eat
more fruits. There have been num-
erous complaints in this city re-
Gently of the prices charged for
fruits and CONNECTIONS.
Apples are selling at fifty cents the
dozen. They are reasonably good
apples and sometimes very good
Bananas sell at fifty cents the
dozen.
Oranges at seventy-fve cents the
dozen.
Brazil nuts and English walnuts
at fifty cents the pound.
Grapes are retailed at sixty cents
the basket
Whether these prices are higher
than those charged for the same
goods la other towns is que [ on
with which The News is not famil-
lar, and what per ccentage OF profit
the dealer receives In the case of
fruit is not known. but the prices are
almost, IL not in some cases, pro-
hibitive.
