SHIPMENTS POSTPONED.

Because of the snow Saturday which prevented the standard com mittee from meeting, the shipment will be postponed for another week, thus giving the working units a chance to finish the work begun.
 While the snow is deep, it is not impossible to get out and it is hoped that every woman who has the inter est of this work at heart will make it point to be on hand. Remember the work room is well heated and comfortable and, while it is summer in the work room, it is winter in the trenches.

Howard Talks About
Fake Armistice News
United Press Man Says Brest

Ahead of Time

Roy W. Howard, co-signer of the
United Press dispatch of November 7
which set this country to celebrating
prematurely the signing of the armis-
tlce, reached New York yesterday on a
transport. He declared he had no apol-
ogy to offer for the mistake. Brest
and Paris had been celebrating the
event for some time, he said, when he
got the official" announcement from
Admiral Wilson; the news" had been
announced as confirmed by the Ameri-
can Embassy at a Paris luncheon. at
which the American Consul General
was present.
Nothing much has yet been said as
to the source Of Admiral Wilson's in
formation" Mr.. Howard continued

Custodian Warns Holders
Armistice Does Not Affect
Governments Policy
Liable to Prosecution
Trading With Enemy Act in
Force Until the Final
Peace Comes

WASHINGTON, Nov. "A Mitchell
Palmer, alien property custodian, in
statement tonight said the signing Of
the armistice does not change his func
tions or affect his policy in any way.
"The United States and Germany"
said Mr.. Palmer, care still at war, and
the trading with the enemy act is still
in force. The alien property custodian
will, therefore, continue to perform the
duties which that act lays upon him,
and will carry out the evident intent
of Congress with relation tc enemy
property until final peace shall come.
Gas long as the trading with the
enemy act is in force, it remains the
duty of all persons having the custody
or control of enemy property in this
country to make report thereof to the
alien property custodian. Despite the
fact that the time for making these re-
ports has long since expired, reports
are still coming to this office, and there
is much property in the country not yet
reported.
"Attention is called, TO this fact be-
cause persons having the custody of
enemy property are making themselves
liable to prosecution under the act for
failure to report it, and this liability
will continue even after the treaty Of
reace shall have been made.
Speaking generally, only two classes Of
,,r 81
These are:
First, the enemy interests in part
nerships, branches or agencies to which
licenses to do business have been re-
fused, or to which licenses have been
granted for the purpose Of liquidation.
Sales Will Be Continued
ain these cases, in order to liquidate,
we have been compelled to sell prop
erty of various kinds.
Second, the enemy-owned shares Of
stock or other interest in American
corporatiOns, where the enemy holding
the management Of American industrial
and commercial concerns 1t is per-
fectly clear that in granting the power
Of sale the Congress intended that the
enemy interests in such corporations
should be placed in American hands for
fair value, after public sale thereof.
At the time the armstice was signed
a large number of such properties
were ready to be sold by the alien
property custodian and these sales will
be proceeded with.
"Investments of individual German
subjects, either in stocks, bonds. mort
cages, real estate or other property, in
America will not be sold, except when
they fall within the two classes herein
mentioned"

of the association. Mr.. Fox stated that
its receipts this year had not been over
100000, not including the. $3.50 COY
advertising fund, which he forgot till
reminded of it.
John Gardiner testified that the as
sessments for state funds were often
heavier than the national fund, but ex
pressed surprise at the following state
ment of the receipts of the Pennsyl-
vania State Association. of which he
was presidents 1910, S121,275; 1911,

1914, S294,114; 1916. S1o6.754.
He said that of the national funds,
which were shown yesterday to have
run to nearly million in some years,
the bulk was spent by himself, as head
of the organization bureau and Percy
Andrea. head Of the National Associa-
tion of Commerce and Labor. He esti-
mated his own expenditures at $780,
600 year.
Copies of two books, described as
"abominable" by Mr.. Fox but taken
from the Office of the association, were
brought up by Senator Overman. One
was "The Crimes of Preachers" open
ing with rbald poem. and contain
ing long list of supposed crimes COM
mitted by the cloth.
Mr.. Fox tried hard to explain the

which he condemned vigorously, say
ing that the library Contained al!
kinds of material, that much of it was
doubtless useless. and that he did not
know how this thing could have come
there.
The other was a directory of the
levee district in New Orleans. This, he
said, had been obtained because he
heard that members of the association
were advertising in it, and he wished
TO protest to them. Major Hume
pointed out an advertisement by
Pabst.

in regard to the lack of records of the
