London, Dec. 1l.-As a result OF
informal conversations regarding
President Wilson's freedom of the
seas, the British government is in
possession of concrete suggestions
which are more understandable than

sons fourteen points according
to the Express.
President Wilson, the newspaper
SAYS, has information showing de
initcly that Great Britain cannot
surrender the right of search, the
contraband law and the right to en-
force blockade. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Wilson's proposals do not in
clude the abandonment of any of
these riehths and that they are, gen
orally, in no wise antagonistic to
British interests, as has been sup
posed

ST. LOUIS GIRL WEDS,
REGISTERS IN DRAFT,
WEARING MALE ATTIRE

St. Louis, Dec. ll.-Miss Bertha
Schmidt, who for two years man
queraded as man and recently
went through marriage ceremony
with her cousin, was dismissed
without a fine when brought into
court under an ordinance forbid
ding woman "to appear in public
in costume .unbecoming to her SEX
Certainly it is not unbecoming
said Police Judge Horan as the
girl, who lives with her cousin, ap-
peared before him in a natty serge
suit OF late cut, silk shirt, tan shoes,
and a "feather-edge" hair trim,
MEMS clothing is cheaper, and,
besides men can demand higher sal
aries Miss Schmidt explained.
She was registered under the draft
law and went among the men freely
without being detected. Her down
fall came when she was reported by
an amazed neighbor who had known
her before she donned male attire.

ENGLAND s READY
TO GIVE IRELAND
HOME RULE NOW
BUT ULSTER CANNOT BE
COERCED INTO 1T, SAYS
CHURCHILL
HE 'BLAMES IRIS \ N n
Calls Attention Also to Heavy Debt
Burden of Great Britain and Men,
tons Immense Sums Owing to
United States, Borrowed for Aid
Of Other Nations.

Dundee, Scotland, Tuesday. Dec.
l0,-Col. Winston Spencer Church
i'll, speaking here today, emphasized
the impossibility OF coercing Ulster
in the matter of home rule for Ire
Ian, and said that the present gov
ernment is anxious that the problem
be solved as soon as possible. In
discussing this feature OF the cleo
ton campaign, Colonel Churchill
said:
Before the war we had reached
a definite arrangement with the
leaders OF the nationalist party that
Ulster was not to be coerced 1t
never was the policy OF the late lib
eral government totake coercive
steps in Ireland, Why not the Irish
leaders come forward now and take
up the burden OF responsibility of
government within the British en-
pire ?Why do they not by a sponta-
neous feeling of comradeship win
Ulster? The government is most
anxious that the Irish question be
pressed forward vigorously to So
luton. Great Britain goes to the
peace conference ready to bestoW
government on Ireland.
at is only the quarrels and dis
putes OF the lrishmen themselves
that prevents solution ito this
great question Let us earnestly
hope they will endeavor by every
means, even of practicing patience,
to embark upon the proper road.
Let us pray they will labor to pre-
pare a way by which they shall en-
able this settlement of the Irish
problem to be achieved so that Ire
land will no longer remain the
sick and ailing child of the British
empire, but will take her proud place
with all those great national forces
which have been woven together to
make up the mighty empire which
stands so high today
Speaking of fiscal matters, Col
onel Churchill said;
The financial question is becom
ing increasingly grave. We are
burdened with an enormous debt,
but about six-sevenths OF our debt
is due to ourselves. The Difficult
ties connected with that portion can
be adjusted within our own borders,
but the external debt is a far great
cr source OF pre-occupation. We
are heavily in debt to the United
States. We have sent to America
100000 pounds sterling bullion and
from S00000,000 to 1,0OO, 100000
pounds in securities which had been
gathered as a result of two genera
tions OF prosperous trade.
The payment of interest on that
debt and the loss of interest on
security previously held will I'M
pose very serious burden in COM
ing years. We incurred that burden
not for our own benefit, but for all
the allies and Russia. As result
OF these overseas liabilities we will
have burdens such as we never have
had before, but We will face these
with courage, keeping |
our word in every respect.

ALL KANSAS CITY CARS
STOPPED BY A STRIKE,
DITTO IN LEAVENWORTH

Kansas City, Mo-, Fec. H.
Kansas City's street railway system
was completely tied up this morn
ing as result of a strike OF car
men and some of he powcr-house
employees, called at 4 o'clock. No ef
fort was made to iun cars during
early rush hours. IN addition, part of
the residence district was without
electric lights.
AT Leavenworth Kan. car strike
also became effective at O'Clock
this morning, which not only
stopped all city cars but tied up the
interurban line betwern Leaven-
worth and Kansas City.
The strike at Kansas City resrlted
from a controversy over wages. The
federal war labor board recently
ruled an INCREASE in the wage scale,
dependent, however, on the financial
ability of the Kansas City Railways
Co., or the possibility of the COM
pany being able to charge an in.
creased fare.
The federal court here refused re-
Gently to grant an injunction which
would prevent the street car COM
pany from applying an eight-cent
fare and charging one cent for trans
fers. Company officials say the pres
ent siX-cent fare is not sufficient to
Justify the wage award.
The situation at Leavenworth is
said to be similar to that at Kansas
City.
There were no disorders this
morning Jitney cars handled part
of the street car patrons, while 9TH
ers were compelled to walk to work.
The city's lighting and industrial
power has been curtailed about 40
per cent as a result OF the walkout
of part of the powcrhouse employees
in connection with the car strike,
according to II. c. Blackwell, gen
eral manager OF the Kansas City
light and power company.
Virtually all interurban lines op-
Grating out of Kansas City have
been put out OF commission by the
strike. The Lawrence interurban
is able to run cars to Kansas City
Kan.
At noon today not a street car
had been started. Even cars used in
hauling mail were not running.
PRESIDENT P. ]. Kealy OF the car COM
pany said he had no plans at pres
ent. He added. however, that there
might be a conference later in the
day with the mayor and the head
OF the chamber of commerce.
Mr.. Kealy this morning tele-
graphed w. d. Mahon, president OF
the Amalgamated Association OF
Street and Electric Railway En-
ployes, protesting against the action
OF the local union, asserting that the
walkout was in violation of a con-
tract not to strike. pending a COM
plete settlement OF the wage con-
troyerSN.

The defendants gave notice of ap-
peal and the case goes to :he third

PARIS SURROUNDED BY
BONAPARTE PICTURES
IS PRINCES MAN SION
The Princess Murat's Maid Will
Be Maid to Mrs. Wilson, Who
Will Sleep in Snow-White Bed
With Golden Trimmings, Under
Canopy.

Paris, Tuesday, Dec l0-When
President Wilson starts work in
his study in the Murat mansion, all
parts OF which now are ready to re-
ceiyc the distinguished guest from
the United States, he will be sur
rounded on all sides by likenesses
OF Napoleon. a marble bust OF
Napoleon is on a pedestal directly
in the rear OF the desk at which
President Wilson will work. Every
wall panel has upon it a paint
ing either of Napoleon or one OF
his generals or OF their families
The simplicity and elegance Of the
study are impressive.
Many of the priceless works OF
art which were removed during the
long-range bombardment of Paris
by The Germans have been returned
to ,he mansion. In every room
there is some object to recall the
days OF Napoleon.
The presidents study on the sec
ond floor has a large bay window
and a massive mahogany desk and
a few chairs which sit in the wind
ow. The room is furnished in red
and contains a low row OF book
cases on one side. In the center
on heavy wood pedestals are a
large golden eagle and a bronze
eagle and bronze Statuette of
charging French dragoon.
The President Bedroom
The presidents bedroom adjoins
his study 1t is large and its walls
are OF blue The three-quarter size
bed which the president will occupy
is mahogany inlaid with brass and
is shaped like a gondola.
The bedroom also contains pic
lures OF Napoleon, principally when
he was emperor Hanging over
the bed the president will occupy is
silver crucifiX.
At the side of the bed is an Amcri-
can electric light and a modern
American telephone. These modern
instruments look strangely out of
place amid the furnishings OF the
room, many OF which come down
to the Murats from Napoleon and
once were used by the famous EN-
peror.
In the presidents suite, in the
dressing room adjoining the bou-
doir, is large bath 1t is not the
kind the Americans know. Instead
Of tile, the floor is covered with
carpets OF great thickness. There
are pictures on the walls. The
presidents suite occupies nearly the
entire second floor OF the house.

Phrase Still Underlined.

The freedom OF the seas is 4
question most hopefully cherished
BY mischiei-makers. The phrase is
still underlined: but one thing is
clear, namely that the war could
NOT have been won for civilization
but for British sea-power. There
can, therefore be no question so
far as this country is concerned
of diminishing the sharpness OF the
weapon that has given us victory
and without which America herself
could have done nothing eftectual.
To do so would blunt the edge not
OF our sword only but OF every
sword raised in behalf of liberty.
For that amongst other reasons,

Wilson is coming to Europe so that
