f., FORSEES WORLD PEACE

The following, taken from an address
delivered recently by Dean Bates, Of
the Law Dept. of the University of
Michigan, is strong argument in favor
of the practicibility of plan for max
ing world peace secure. 1t is rational,
logical argument that should command
the support of everyone who believes
in the example and teachings of Christ.
who believes that civilization is not
essentially myth:
"The hope that a peaceful world
might emerge from the war, alone has
made it possible to endure its sufferings
and sacrifices.
Suffering humanity in a voice more
piteous, more universal and more pas
sionate than the world had ever heard
demanded that this war be fought to
the bitter end SO that all war might for
ever be banished from the earth. am
not one of those who believe that this
hope can surely be realized in the i'm
mediate or even in the measurable
future. But certainly we are supine
race if, with the wounds of humanity
not yet staunched and its griefs un-
assuaged appealing for an end of this
hideous thing, war, we do not press
forward boldly for a more. rational
method of settling international differ
ences.
"Again, l am not one of those who
believe that a League Of Nations will
establish the millennium or bring Utopia,
but do not understand how one who
believes that the development of socie-
ty has been evolutionary from the in
dividual or family to the clan or tribe,
to nations and federations. can doubt
that the final substitution of law for
force in the settlement of international
disputes, must come through some or
ganization like League of Nations.
1T would pass the bounds of reason
able expectation to hope that such a
league could from the outset and unin-
terruptedly accomplish its benificient
purpose Years of expectation and re-
current failure are to be expected,
stretching perhaps through generatio y.
but ultimately we must believe that
the great objective will be achieved.

FROM HARRY MYERS.

The many Clio friends of Harry
Myers will be glad to know that he
came through the wind-up of the
fighting in France without injury and
they will be interested, we are sure,
to read the following excerpt from a
letter which he wrote to friends in
Clio. The letter first states the
writer left New York Sept. Ia, landed
at Liverpool Oct. z, and at Havre,
France, Oct. 10, and continues:
Verdun, France, Nov. %, 1918.
arrived at Auzeville (near Clair
monty on the 25th and stayed there
over night. At one time this was the
Crown Princes headquarters. The
next day we started on foot for Avo-
court where we stayed over night.
and left the next morning for the Ar
gonne woods, arriving there Oct.
9th. Things were rather quiet there
Except. an air raid now and them
until the Americans started their
drive at about a. m. Nov. 1st, which
cleared the woods Of the Huns. We
remained there until Nov. 18th, when
we started afoot for Verdun arriv-
ing here Nov. 18th. There was no
more firing after this, however, for
the armistice was signed on the 1t1h.

IA transports and 3 conveys Ga bat
tleship, cruiser and destroyer). i.
We had considerable rough weather,
and although l did not get 'seasick'
cannot say exactly enjoyed all of
the voyage, especially through the
North Channel.
"At present we are stationed in
the city of Verdun. We don't expect
to stay here very long, but don't
know where we' will go; maybe into
Belgium. We have good food and I
am feeling fine, so there is no reason
to complain. I hope, however, that

BOY INJURED

vernal Hymen, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. w. Hymen, sustained a very pain
full injury while working in his faith
er's blacksmith shop last week. He
was hammering piece Of iron on an
anvil when chip few from the ham,
mer or from the iron and struck him
in one of his eyes. At first it was
thought the eye had been destroyed,
but on taking the boy to a specialist
in Saginaw, the latter ascertained that
while the eye had been severely lac
Grated the sight was probably unin-
jured. vernaps many friends will re-
joice that he was spared the sad mis-
fortune that would have resulted
from the loss of one Of his eyes.

Total SIG. 1912. 377, 366
To this may be added about 81, ,0O0,-
600, 900 of War Savings Certificates,
making the total war debt to the end
of this year about $18. 900, 900, GOO.
What the bond issues of 1919 will be
has not been announced. The Treasury
still has $4,000. 900, 900 of authorized
bonds to issue. Mr.. McAdoo's estimate
shows that even if these are issued
there is likely to be deficit of over
$4,000, 900, 600. for the fiscal year. 1t
can be supposed that there will be at
least two more bond issues, and that
as much as possible will be raised by
fthe sale of War Savings Stamps. This
will add $l1 900, 900, 900 to the amount
which tn. Government will owe, max
ing a total of $29, 900, 200, 900.
OF this amount more than Sc, 900, OOO. :
600 has been advanced to the Allies,
and the Government is authorized to
lend O.O0O, 900, 900 in all. 1t will
probably all be taken and since this
arrangement carries with it a 5 per cent
interest rate, these bonds take care of
themselves and can be erased from the
total, which is brought down to $751;
600, 900, 900.
= United States securities at the rates
at which they have been and presum-
xably will be issued, will amount to
about 81, 200, ,0OO. 900 year. From this
can be deducted the $500. 100, 900 in
terest on the $40, 900. OO0,0oO of the
Allies, leaving an annual interest
charge of 500, ,O00,O
In addition, if sinking fund is es-
tablished-and some means must be
found for retiring the bonds gradually =
the country must raise several hundred
millions year for many years. If the
sinking fund is raised at the rate of
PA per cent year, which would mean
the retirement of all the debt in about
80 years, it would mean that $427, 5O0,-
600 would have to be raised annually.
If these figures are correct, and they
cannot be very far wrong. the country
will have to raise, after 1920, for some
years, more than 81, 100, oOO, 900, to take
care of the interest on the war debt
and the sinking fund to cancel it. The
ordinary receipts of the Government
from all sources for the year ending
June 80, 1917, were 81, ,1l8, l74, 126.
Former Secretary McAdoo is said to
have favored paying the war debt even
sooner than 1850, and setting aside
per cent interest as sinking fund.
War Savings Stamps will be due Jan. l,
1928, and some of the bonds become due
in 1928. 1t will not be difficult mat
4 ter to refund these issues and postpone
their payment.
1t must be remembered that as the
country grows in population and wealth.
the burden will .be more widely dis
tributed and more easily borne. We
are in much better financial shape than
any of the other great nations and un-
less they can obtain huge indemnities
from Germany, they will require a
much longer time to pay their obliga-
tions. and will have much more diff
cult job.-Detroit Free Press.

10 Billions

Treasury Department officials will
not talk on the subject, but figures are
available which show that if the United
States undertakes the establishment OF
a sinking fund to pay the bonded in
debtedness caused by the war, the taxes
which the people will pay to the Fed
eral Government for the next 81 years
will be double, or nearly double those OF
the pre-war period.
And as there is every indication that
the prohibition amendment will be
adopted, cutting off an annual revenue
which before the war amounted to
$3.50. 900, 900, it is indicated that the
income tax will be the Governments
largest source of revenue.
The Treasury Department has said
nothing about plans for paying OFT the
bonded debt caused by the war. No
one knows what it will be. 1t now

DISTINGUISHED MEN LISTED
AS GERMAN SYMPATHIZERS
Bielaski Produces Names of Profes.
sors-Says Bernstorff Asked
Favors for Hearst Correspond
ont.

Washington, Dec. I'm telling hi
story of German propaganda i,
America, A. Bruce Bielaski, chief o:
the bureau of investigation of thu
department Of justice, yesterday laic
before the senate committee inves
tigating brewery and German propo
ganda cablegrams exchanged il
1915 by Count Won Bernstorff, then
ambassador here, and the Berlin
foreign Office.
One Of Bernstorff's messages urg-
ed that special favor be shown Will
liam Bayard Hale, an American a.
bout to visit Berlin as a newspaper
correspondent, because he was en-
ployed by the Hearst organs which,
the message said, had outspokenly
placed themselves on the German
side.
Bielaski told the committee that
Hale was on the Hearst pay roll for
$500 a week, and also was employed
at $4,000 year by publicity or
ganization formed in this country by
DR.. Barnard Bernburg, the German
propagandist.
Suggesting on June 2, 1916, that
the time was favorable ''to get
Hearst to sen da first rate journalist
to Berlin" Bernstorff told the for
eign Office that the man selected was
Hale, who he said had been a conf
Dental agent of the embassy since
the beginning of the war, and was
bound as such by contract to June
%, 1918.
"Hearst," the ambassadors mes
sage said, "is not aware that Hale
S our agent, but knows him only as
Germanophile journalist who has
contributed leading articles to pa
pers."
Hale, according to Mr.. Bielaski,
was paid by the German government
to visit Rdmania, and, if possible
prevent entrance of that nationsinto
the war. MI. Hearst, Bielaski said,
was ignorant of Hale's employment
on the latter mission.

ON GREENVILLE STREET.

Something is happening on Green
Vile Street all the time. Just now
we are building the new sidewalk or
towards the High School, but that is
not what we have in mind. We are
thinking now of real happenings.
We had one of these Thursday morn
ing. 1t happened this way: Mrs. w.
I. White has the flu, and so has the
pretty young lady of the household,
little Miss Edna White. Mrs. Cor
don White, who has a sympathetic
ear for neighborhood misfortunes,
thought to soften things in the dining
room end of the afflicted household.
So she arose early and cooked good
breakfast for the sick as we'll as the
WE'LL Col. White, her husband, who
has to some extent taken uncle Jim's
place as mule trader, not to be out
done in Christian works among the
sick, volunteered to take the fine
breakfast over and to see that the
sick were properly taken crre of. He
came out his front door with the
heavy waiter, looking as graceful as
he did twenty years ago, before he
got fat.
The steam was rising from the
"big eats" and you could tell across
the street from the good smell that
there was plenty in the land. Out
the front gate he came and down
the street and into the yard of his
brother he went, and everything was
purity" as the negroes say, until
his right toe hit a rock which young
Len had thrown at the big rooster
the evening before, and then hot bis
cults and soft boiled eggs, milk
toast, country sausage, and other
attractive things for sick people,
few in hundred directions.
The Colonel got up, looked around
to see who was looking, and we sus-
pect said, Damn mule" though
we didn't hear him say it, and went
back to tell Mrs. White what had
happened. We didn't inquire for
any further particulars.

PEACE CONFERENCE
EARLY IN JANUARY
Congress Scheduled to Meet First
Week of Month in New Year
President Wilson Advised of
Maturing Plans.

Paris, Dec. president Wilson
will be informed by wireless of the
plans for the assembling of the in
ter-allied conference and the meet
:ng of the peace congress. He will
also be advised concerning the re-
cent gathering of the supreme war
council at London. In the meantime,
reports that the president had ap-
proved of anything done at the su-
preme council are premature, as
she steps taken at that meeting will
not be made known to him until to-
day.
The plans concerning the peace
meetings are the results of Col. E.
VI. Houses long talk with Premier
Clemenceau, following a conference
with Baron Sonnino, the Italian for
eign minister, and the Earl of Derby,
the British ambassador to France.
The inter-allied conference will re-
assemble on December 16 or II. The
meetings will be at the foreign Of
flee in the Quai d'Osray, and not at
Versailles. David Lloyd George,
the British premier, and A. J. Bal
four, the foreign minister, expect to
come here at that time to meet Pres
ident Wilson and attend the confer
ence but the elections in Great Brit
ain may not permit them to remain
more than two or three days.
The opening of the peace congress
is set for the first week in January.
It was the desire of the Americans to
begin at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Other delegations felt that q
later date would be necessary, owing
to the Christmas holidays and the
official functions connected with the
presence of President Wilson and
King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, but
the first week in January finally was
chosen. The first meetings will be
for the actual framing of the pre-
liminaries of peace with the repre-
sentatives of the enemy powers, who

NAVY is SEEKING TO CONTROL
WIRELESS; BIG FIGHT COMING

Washington, Dec. GA big bat
tie for navy control of wireless plants
in peace time is about to open. Hear
ings will start December IL before
the house merchant marine commit
tee on bill to take over all sta
tions. The fight lies largely between
the navy department and the Ameri-
can Marconi company.
But, behind the American com
pany apparently stands the British
Marconi subsidized by the
British government. The American
Marconi company has sold the navy
its ship-to-shore stations, but re-
tains its grasp on four high powered
stations. Two of these on the At
ltic have not been used, but ap
rently are part Of a plan to ere
ate a wireless link between England
and the United States so as to joir
up with wireless to the far east.
Captain Todd, hea dof naval com
.munication, who will conduct th'
main fight for the navy, believes i
lis absolutely essential that the, nav.
