A Diplomatic Leak
Flow of Spirits Cause Police to
Seize Minister Gonzales's
Holiday Trunk.

Columbia, Dec. 21.-The pollc'
Thursday night seized at the railway
station a trunk OF William +. Con
zales, minister 70 Cuba, contalnln;
three quarts OF Jamaica rum, one pm
of brandy and one quart OF gin.
The trunk besides the article:
named contained the diplomatic pa
pers of Mr.. Gonzales and other be-
longings.
The trunk and it's contents are nov
being held at the police station, an'
their disposition is to be determined
this morning.
It seems that the police first be
came aware Of the contents OF tn
trunk due to the breaking Of one o
the bottles and the leaking CUT OF ia
nacia rum, whereupon the trunk wa
seized and taken TO the police sta
ton. There it was opened ana the II
uuors above named with one broke!
bottle were found.
Minister Gonzales arrived in tn
city several days ago on his way t
Washington and the trunk in ques
ton was left a. the station. 1t is un
derstood to have been packed by on
Of the secretaries Of the legation tw'
or three weeks before the GeDartur'
Of Minister Gonzales from Cuba t.
Washington. At that time Mr.. Con
Zales expected to go to New York q:
rect from Cuba, but the routing wa
changed later because OF strikes i.
Cuba. He had stopped off her
to spend Christmas with his family.

Americas Wealth
Will Sway Council
Raw Materials and Shipbuilding
Facilities in u. S. to 1nflu-
ence Peace.

Paris, Dec. 1S.-Americ most
potent weapons in the peace negotia-
tons are its shipbuilding facilities and
it's control of raw materials. It has
become increasingly evident that
these will be highly important in the
conferences, from which President
Wilson hopes to obtain acquiescence
in his ideals.
Great Britain, it is learned, would
like 100000 tons of American built
merchant ships, and France would
like 100000. Both countries are
eager to effect an arrangement for dis
tribution Of raw materials and assur-
ances against overcharges.
All nations would appreciate ma
tionalization of Americas mer-
chant marine and a share in our raw
materials, thus ending Americas vir-
tual domination Of the worlds mar
kets.
Americas plans for building en-
tente merchantmen and pooling raw
materials will be withheld until the
attitude Of all countries toward the
League of Nations is definitely ascer-
tained.
It should be constantly kept in mind
that the president regards the League
of Nations as the most essential fea-
ture of the peace treaty. American
participation in the worlds politics
and commercial activities or return to
our former isolation will depend en-
tirely upon the willingness Of the en-
tente to enter the league.
President Wilson is expected to
show that the League Of Nations will
eliminate the danger of one nation
inficting discriminatory freight rates
against the others.

cember 16, when Mr.. Glass assumed
