SECRECY WOULD
 DEFEAT ENDS OF
 PEACE GATHERING
Lord Northcliffe Says Open Diplomacy Only Kind That Will Pay Under Existing Circumstances

PARIS. Dec. 20 (By the Associated Press) Lord Northcliffe. chairman of the London headquarters of the British mission to the United StatesS who is visiting Paris, today gave to the Associated Press the following statement regarding his ideas as to the need of open diplomacy in con dueting the peace negotiations so that the people may know what is going on.
 Nothing can be worse for the pros poets of the coming conference" said Lord Northcliffe, than an atmosphere of secrecy and half-truths. Yet up to the present there has been no off cial statement that the momentous meetings about to take place will be held in accordance with President Wilson's expressed views on the ques- tion of open diplomacy.
 "The day of secret cOnelaves are dead and gone. Clandestine assem- plies are the harbingers of intrigue. suspicion and possible deception. It would be intOlerable that the fate or whole nations-greath and small should be decided in secret. Shall the destinies of millions of peoples in all quarters of the globe be left to the tender mercies of a comparative handful of delegates, against whose enactments there is no public appeal Such would be mockery of that princi- pie of self-determination of free na- tions which has been fought for and won in this war.
 Labor, upon which the great loss of life during the war has mainly fallen, is alarmed at the prospect Of the great world plans being carried out without its knowledge. It is re- ported from London that the Labor party has sent a strong protest to our government, which so far has done nothing to allay public anxiety on the subject

FLOUR MILLING
 REGULATIONS ALI
 NOW ARE REMOVE
Officials Expect Removal of Restrictions From Milling Business to Bring About Cheaper Flour
Bv Review Leased wire)


 WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Cancella' ton of all flour milling regulations including fair price schedules and the price and quantity restrictions on the sale of wheat flour by millers, which officials expect will result in cheaper flour, was formally announced late today by the food administration.
 Notification of the action was tele- graphed last night to all zone agents of the food administration grain cor portin and today there was a sharp rise in the price of wheat, bran and other mill feeds on the Minneapolis market, which officials expect to be followed by drop in flour prices.
 Existing regulations restricting margins of profit on flour and mill feeds remain in effect, as do general regulations of the food administration prohibiting profiteering, boarding and unfair practices and officials said these would be strictly enforced.
 The prediction of cheaper flour to the consumer, it was stated at the food administration, is based on the immediate rise today in the price or mill feed, amounting to several dollars a ton. Close observation of the mar ket trend in flour and mill feeds, made by the food administration milling division and grain experts, it was said showed that with every upward move ment of feeds came fall in the price of flour on basis of an average drop of three and four hundredths cents a barrel on flour to every $l a ton in- crease on mill feed.

 Diseased Minds Quoted
 Telling about a meeting in Carnegie hall. New York. in 1915, under the aus pices of the Central Federated Union in the interest of keeping the United States out of the war, Brecker said a New York woman, whose name he did not mention, withdrew an agreement to nav $500 for use of the hall when she discovered that William J. Bryan was to be one of the speakers.
 Senator Reed asked the witness if he meant to infer by his references to Mir. Bryan that objection was made 10 his presence at the meeting because of his being a representative of the German government.
 No" Brecker replied. "I hope you do not think that l will be held re- sponsible for any wild inference that may be drawn by diseased minds.
 Do you mean to say that my mind is diseased?" asked Senator Reed.
 No. That is another wild infer ence," Brecker said.
 Brecker told the committee that s33. .7e3 was collected by the citizens committee of New York for food ship ments to Germany, but the money was checked out Of bank and the checks destroyed. and only $500 worth of food was sent to Germany.
 The witness testified that the late Dr. Hugo Schwitzer of New York, re- ceived S1.47s.SS2 from the German embassy. having acted as depository for a part of the embassy funds. He said evidence showed that S150,000 of that amount was paid to Dr. Edward A. Rumley and used to pay expenses in connection with the New York Ev- ening Mail.
 MT. Brecker read a letter from George Sylvester Viereck to his father in Berlin. intercepted by British cens- ors, asking the father to forward the text of a German court decision to the effect that beer was food rather than a luxury. This decision later was received, MT. Breeker said, and was used extensively as brewers propaganda in the United States.
 A catechism of the war entitled Two Thousand Questions and An swers," published by the Review or Reviews company after the United States entered the war and criticized by the National Security league, was taken up by-Mr. Breeker. He read passage referring to immoral condi- tions in Paris and said he considered this German propaganda because 1t in censed the French high commission ID this country. Senator Reed challenged the statement and read the book furth- CT to show that it explained Amer jean soldiers did not spend their days off in Paris. Many other passages in the book constituted enemy propa' ganda, MT. Brecker said.
 When the cross questioning was in- terrupted by adjournment, to be re- sumed tomorrow morning, Senator Reed asked Mir. Brecker to produce vouchers showing expenses incurred by secret service agents in obtaining depositions in the investigation of Bo- los activities in the United States. The witness stated with heat that ne would do no such thing. as they were confidential.
 During most of the eross-examina- tion by Senator Reed, members ot subcommittee in charge of the inves' tigation sat silent and at one time two of them leaned forward with their heads in their hands.

The baldest woman becomes beauti-
full. or. If her features don't permit 1t,

notes a fashion writer in the New York
Herald. The transformations of dec

perfected this. hirsute adornment that
only an expert is able to detect that It
is not the real thing. In other days
when woman took to n transfOrma-
ton to cover up scarcity of locks she
deceived no one but herself, for her ar
tiiciul aid to nature was wholly APP
parent to curious eyes. The trans
formations were not well made, and
no one ever mistook them for anything
except just what they were.
Today all this is changed. The mod
crn transformation Is a thing Of beauty
and JOY forever. comfort and a con-
venience without which many wom-
an could not make an attractive tot
lette. Some folk prefer n side part
ing, others one In the center: others,
again, object to parting ut all. The
modern transformation is made to suit
all tastes.
The very fact that the transforma-
ton can he taken off and dressed"
before wearing completely does away
with so many of the difficulties against
which the 'maidless' woman has
to contend.
