GREAT NEED OF GASOLINE
CONSERVATION

Although it had been repeatedly lntlmated
from Washington that motorless Sundays 1,ltt54se
be discontinued at any time by the fuel admins
tration, it now appears that they may remain
in effect indefinitely 1t is claimed that thl
Of gasoline by the army and navy is increi
constantly and the amount used is almos
yond comprehension.
s'Gasless" Sundays have been received with
favor by the public at large. It is said that IN
Washington they have restored the time hon
ored custom Of pedestrianism on the avenues,
and old-time Washingtonians would be glad to
have the present order continued.
The fuel administrator of Wisconsin has sug-
gested that the public may aid in the conser-
walton Of gasoline by shutting off all power in
their ears when not actually running. He
claims that the waste caused by running OF
engines when the cars are standing still is great
and if little thought were given the matter
it would result, not only in material decrease
in the cost Of operating the cars but, likewise,
saving to the government Of a considerable
quantity of gasoline now so much needed.
1t is reported, that by the cementlng OF Oil
wells in the North Cushing field of Oklahoma,
to keep out the detrimental flow of water, saw
ing in oil from fifty wells of more than two
thousand barrels day has been effected. Not
only will this mean an increase OF 50, 500 day
in the gross income Of the operators at the wells,
but the gasoline produced from the oil saved, it
is estimated, is sufficient to drive every auto
mobile in the United States an average OF
twenty miles.

this government s Interpretation Of its own duty
with regard to peace:
SFIRST-The impartial justice melted out
must involve no discrimination between those to
whom we wish to be just and those to whom we
do not wish to be just. It must be justice
that plays no favorites and knows no standard
but the equal rights Of the several peoples
SSECOND-No special or separate interest
of any single nation or any group of nations can
be made the basis of any part of the settlement
which is not consistent with the common in
terest of all.
'STHIRD-There can be no leagues or ALI
ances of special covenants and understandings
within the general and common family of the
league of nations.
sFOURTH-And more specifically there can
be no special, selfish, economic combinations
within the league and 40 employment Of any
force Of economic boycott for exclusion except
as the power Of economic penalty by exclusion
from the markets Of the world may be vested in
the league of nations itself as a means of disci-
pline and control

treaties Of every kind must be made known in
their entirety to the rest Of the world"

SUSAN 3. ANTHONY AMENDMENT FOR
NATION WIDE WOMAN SUFFRAGE
DEFEATED IN SENATE

Notwithstanding the fact that President Will
son went before the United States Senate on
September 80 and made strong appeal for that
body to adopt nationwide woman suffrage as a
necessary war measure, the Susan B. Anthony
suffrage amendment was defeated on the follow
ing day by a vote Of SO to 31-two votes less
than the necessary two-thirds majority required
for its passage.
According to Washington dispatches, the
presidents personal appeal, supplemented by
letters to several Democratic senator's, did not
change a single vote, although some senator's
asserted that defeat Of the resolution would
mean reputation Of the executive.
This is claimed to be the first important re-
verse the president has met in advocacy OF what
he has declared to be essential war measures
The defeat was accomplished largely by the
president own party, twenty-one Of the thirty
one senators voting against the amendment be-
ing Democrats, including virtually all the lead
ers of the Senate.
Further consideration Of the resolution is
planned after the November election, when sui
frage forces hope to muster the requisite num-
Der Of votes.
The Susan B. Anthony draft for nationwide
woman suffrage was first advanced forty years
ago and has been slowly but steadily gaining IN
favor through four decades of American history

PRESIDENT WILSON DEFINES ISSUES OF
WAR AND DWELLS UPON LEAGUE OF

In an address delivered in the Metropolitan
Opera House, New York City, on September II,
defining the issues Of the war, President Wilson
said in part:
Individual statesmen may have started the
conflict but neither they nor their opponents
can stop it as they please.
Shall the military power of any nation or
group Of nations be suffered to determine the
fortunes of peoples over whom they have no
right to rule except the right of force?
'Shall strong nations be free to wrong weak
nations and make them subject to their purpose
and INTEREST,"
"Shall people be ruled and dominated, even
in their own internal affairs, by arbitrary and
irresponsible force or by their own will and
choice?
Shall there be common standard of right
and privilege for all peoples and nations, or
shall the strong do as they will and the weak
suffer without redress?
"Shall the assertion of right be haphazard
and by casual alliance, or shall there be a COM
mon concert to oblige the observance of COM
mon rights
No man, no group Of men, chose these to be
the issues Of the struggle They ARE the is
sues of it, and they must be settled by no ar
rangement or compromise or adjustment of in
terests, but definitely and once for all and with
a full and unequivocal acceptance Of the prin-
ciple that the interest of the weakest is as sa-

cred as the interest Of the strongest.
This is what we mean when we speak OF a
permanent peace, if we speak sincerely intelh-
gently, and with a real knowledge and compre-
hension of the matter we deal with
I'VE are all agreed that there can be no peace
obtained by any kind of bargain or compromise
with the governments Of the central empires
because we have dealt with them already and
have seen them deal with other governments
that were part to this struggle, at Brest-Lltovsk
and Bucharest.
.SThey have convinced us that they are with
out honor and do not intend justice. They OBJ
serve no covenants, accept no principle but
force and their own interests.
'sWe cannot come to terms with them.
They have made it impossible.
Speaking Of the manner in which peace may
be brought about, the President said:
eff it be in deed and in truth the common
object of the governments associated against
Germany and Of the nations whom they govern,
as | believe it to be, to achieve by the coming
settlements a secure and lasting peace, it will
be necessary that all who sit down at the peace
table shall come ready and willing to pay the
price, the only price, that will procure it. and
ready and willing also to create in some virile
fashion the only fundamentally by which it can
be made certain that the agreements OF the
peace will be honored and fulfilled.
''That price is impartial justice in every item
Of settlement, no matter whose interest is
crossed not only impartial justice, but also the
satisfaction of the several peoples whose for
tunes are dealt with. That Indispensable in
strumentality is league Of nations formed un-
der covenants that will be eficacious
''Without such fundamentally, by which the
peace Of the world can be guaranteed, peace will
rest in part upon the word of outlaws and only
upon that word. For Germany will have to re-
deem her character, not only by what happens
at the peace table, but what follows.
And, as [ see it, the constitution OF that
league Of nations and the clear definition OF its
objects must be part, is in a sense the most
essential part, of the peace settlement itself 1t
cannot be formed now. If formed now, it would
be merely new alliance confined to the nations
associated against common enemy 1t is not
likely that it could be formed after that settle
ment.
cit is necessary to guarantee the peace, and
the peace cannot be guaranteed as an after
thought. The reason, to speak in plain terms
again, why it must be guaranteed, is that there
will be parties to the peace whose promises have
proved untrustworthy and means must be
found in connection with the peace settlement
itself to remove that source Of insecurity.
1T would be folly to leave the guarantee to
the subsequent voluntary action OF the govern
ments we have seen destroy Russia and deceive
Roumania
But these general terms do not disclose the
whole matter. Some details are needed to make
them sound less like thesis and more like
practical program.
Particulars Of Terms
These, then, are some of the particulars, and

are many thrilling situations and the
entire story is interviewer with ro-

the play is reached in the last scene,
when a ship is sunk at sea by Ger

cued from the wreck to resume the
romance which she broke off after
her lover had declared himself against
the United Statets and she had de-
clared him Stacker. The lover is
reclaimed by the reading of Edward

Man Without Country" and enlists,
while the sweetheart is Red Cross

is a high class one and is strictly a
