They no longer have any hope of
winning over Senator Wadsworth, of
New York, despite the fact that women
now vote in New York. Mr.. Wads-

to woman suffrage as ever. and Mrs. |

Washington Believes Allies
Were Not Consulted on
Overture to Austria
By c. w. Gilbert

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-Comment
was frequent here to-day on the differ
ence of view disclosed in Lloyd Georges s
last speech and the Presidents last
speech. The British Premier interprets
Count Czernin one way, and the Presi-
dent another. The British Premier
talks war and the President talks peace.
The British Premier says that there is
no use of crying peace when there is
no peace, and the President carries on
independent peace negotiations. Sup
pose both speeches to have only a
diplomatic purpose, the British Pre-
mler displays one diplomatic purpose
and the President displays another.
Official Washington would not dis
cuss the discrepancy. But official
Washington virtually admitted it, for
when asked by the newspaper CORE
spondents for guidance on the issue.
official Washington said, Follow the
President" 1t was perfectly apparent
that it was impossible to follow both
spokesmen of the Allies.
There was a disposition to minimize
the discrepancy by saying that the
President really saw no more hope in
Czernin's speech than did Mr.. Llovd
George, but had pretended to be en-
couraged 1or diplomatic purposes.
Paris Conference Didn't
Unity Diplomacy
But the divergence lies deeper than
this. 1t is fundamental. One man
plainly shrinks from further peace talk
as divisive and deterrent to maximum
efforts. The other thinks that peace
talk will divide not the Allies, but the
enemy.
There is poor team work here. The
unity which was to be accomplished at
the last Paris conference evidently did
not extend to diplomatic policies and I
5helr expression. President Wilson's |
speech of January was not made as a
'esult of conferences with the Allies.
It was an independent essay. Coming,
IS 1t did, right after Lloyd Georges
var aims speech, and being in substan-
ial agreement with that speech, it sug
rested a unity Of purpose and policy
hat apparently does not exist.
The latest speech was equally an IN
essay. Many persons in Wash
ngton are beginning to see that it was
ess fortunate than his last utterance
is slow to see this. so
much prestige attaches to every ap
earance of Mr.. Wilson in the field of
International politics. There is grow
ng tradition that he cannot make
1lstake as the exponent Of internation~
democratic ideals. That tradition
revents the correct appraisal of the
attest; speech, but doubt about the
peech is increasing.

Czernin. when he comes to make his
reply, may, if it suits his purposes

dent did of him, that Mr.. Wilson ia

ness conditions. Reports from large
employers indicate that virtually all
returning soldiers will be given their
old jobs and in Chicago little difficulty
is expected in absorbing the excess
volume of labor.
Many eastern states manufacturers
went into the munition business on a
large scale in 1914, receiving heavy
orders from the Allies. New plants

As result, when the United States
entered the war the eastern firms
were prepared and during the first
year received So percent of the gov
eminent war contracts, officials of the
Chicago Association of Commerce said.
They added that after the eastern
concerns were loaded to capacity the
government turned to the middle west
for assistance. Chicago manufacturers
with few exceptions did not eXpcnd
large sums in new plants and ma
chinery to carry out war orders. In
~ majority of instances they continued
their regular lines on a minimum pro-
duction basis and made a side line of
the government work by putting on an
additional force of labor and working

Because of this policy, most of the

NEW YORK. Dec. 16-In a clash
of the American steamship Monterey
and Mexican customs guards at Tam
pico one Mexican is said to have been
killed, a Mexican soldier MORALLY
wounded, and chief gunner's mate,
named Berry, in charge of the Ameri-
can guard, less seriously hurt This
was learned today with the steamers
arrival here from Havana and Mas
sau. where she touched after leaving
Tampico.
Members of the armed guard and
officers of the ship refused to discuss
the incident, but details We're learned
from passengers on board at the time.
According to them the fight occurred
shortly after a. m. after members of
the navy guard went to the rescue of
Berry. who had been attacked. The
Americans at first responded to the.
call without arms, but, upon the Mexi-
cans opening fire, they procured their
weapons and responded in kind, The
fight, passengers said, was brief, the
Mexicans running away as soon as the
Americans opened fire, leaving their
dead and wounded Later officials of
the port took the matter in hand. the
passengers asserted, and a demand
was made upon the captain OF the
Monterey that the armed guard be de-
ivered up to them pending an investi-
cation.
This the captain declined to do, his
action being supported, it was said, by
officers of two American gunboats IN

PROPOSE
INTERNATIONAL
FINANCIAL UNION
(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Sunday, Dec. 15.-The
French government is considering
with a probability of presenting be-
fore the chamber of deputies on Dec.
"a, bill proposed by Deputy Jacques
Stern establishing among the allies an
international financial union. The
purpose of this union would be to dis
tribute the expenses of the war be-
tween the nations on the basis or
populations and power to contribute.
The proposition is supported by 100
delegates of all parties. 1t is under
stood that a similar plan is under
consideration by the British govern
ment, but no definite steps have as
yet been taken in London.
1t is estimated that the expenses of
the allies totaled 4424, 900, 600, 900
francs, while the control powers ex-
penses aggregated $4,000, 900
francs. Annual budgets at percent,
with a one-half of one percent prem
ium for amortization. would total A.
600 900 900 francs. To avoid interna-
tional bankruptcy, it is declared that
such an association is necessary TO
float an international loan, estimated
at $4,000, 600 900 francs to be dlstrl-
buted on a basis of population and
production. Each state would guar
antee it's proportion from customs and
other revenues.
All exchange questions, freight
rates and prices of raw material would
be handled through the centralized
agency of the association. Provision
is made for the admission OF neutral
states.
Even the central powers. upon
terms prescribed by the allies may

sential condition to the economic de-
yelopment of the world.
