PEACE ADDRESS

London, Jan. 10-Viscount Bryce,
former British ambassador to Wash
ington. said today in regard to Presi-
dent Wilson's war aims speech:
1.-The address is admirable in spirit
and contents. Mr.. Wilson rightly
points out that an international COM
bination to arrest the aggressions of
ambitious sovereigns and military
castles and to secure the rights of
peace loving peoples is essential to the
future well being of mankind. In his
enumeration of objects to be secured
by peace, the following points seem
specially Important:
His broad, clear assertion of the
right of nationality to self determin-
alton, removal of economic barriers
to trade, adequate guarantees for re-
duction of ornaments, absolute indie
pendence for Belgium and full com
pensation for her wrongs, sympathetic
comprehension and consideration of
the present situation of Russia, and
deliveranee of all subject nationali-
ties from the brutal and sanguinar3
rule of the Turks.
'@Those in Great Britain who know
how abominable the rule of the Turks
has been heartily welcome this dec
Iaration and that recently made by the
british prime minister, that the Allies
ard the United States regard liberia.
ton of the Christian and Arab peo'
pies of Armenia, Syria and Palestine

and durable peace"

MEMS CLOTHES LOSE F.RILLS.

Clothes largely without pockets,
belts, yokes, collars and plaits are to
be the mems war garments of the
coming season, according to a decision
reached at the sixteenth seni-aRnual
meeting of the National Association
of Clothing Designers. This is the
result of a government order made
through the National Council of De-
Tense to save wool. The association
believes that many thousands of yards
will be taken off the civilian garb
to put on the backs of the soldiers.
Business to the amount of $780,,
GOO, 600 is done by the members of
the organization, who come from all
parts of the United States and Can
ada, and if the amount of wooden
goods taken from each suit amounts
to from an inch or two to a quarter
of yard the saving will be great.
The instructions received from the
National Council of Defense gave de-
tailed directions for curtailment.
Every member of the organization
was said to be anxious to cooperate,
and resolution was passed to that
effect

I'm very glad to know you, mar
shall" said Prof. Nearing.
Il wish,' said Big Tom deliberate
ly as he declined to expose a good
right hand, that 1 could saw the
same to you. I'm not glad to know
you or anybody like you"
Nearing stepped back a. pace and
his eyes went little wild. McCar-
thy held him with the gaze of two
very black eyes in which the pupils
had contracted considerably. The
set of the Mccarthy jaw need not be
described.
20, I mean it." said Big Tom.
What do you and men like you mean
by getting up meetings of the sort
and talking in a way to mislead the
ignorant and credu1ous foreigners in
New York? Look at this crowd 1t
isn't 10 per cent. American. You
ought to be thoroughly ashamed of
yourself. A skunk has some pride"
But-but-but-'' gasped Near
ing.
But nothing" said Mccarthy.
You are an educated man. You
nave had remarkable advantages. You
call yourself an American. He'll!
The only way to be an American in
these days is to be for our country
sight or wrong, night and day, against
everybody who tries to smirch her
good name or good faith. You make
me sick. All that you came here
for is to preach discomfort and dissat-
isfaction. however " u may dress up
your pretty words. Why don't you
spend your time teaching these peo-
pie the truth about America instead
ofc unningIy trying to stir up sedi-
tion?"
81 tell the truth" Nearing replied,
as his nervous hand cIutched at the
marshaFs coat sleeve. 81 preach lib
erty as 1 see it. I have good au-'
diences all over the United States
people who applauded me-"
You couldn't get an audience of
straightout Americans to save your
life" snapped the marshal. Decent
people wouldn't insult their intelli-
gence listening to your yawping. Now,
I'm going to put it to you straight.
You are just the kind of bird I want
to get. If L ever do get you I will send
you so far that you will be long
time getting back. One thing more.
If this war lasts much longer there
may be hemp picnics in Central Park
on Sunday mornings for just such as
| you. People won't stand for your
yelled disloya1ty. They'll take you
out and hang you to the handiest
tree. It will be my job as an Of
ficer of the law to prevent that if I
can. But I don't mind telling you
that if I were not an officer of the
! law, sworn to prevent disorder, I
would stand on the fringe of the
crowd and clap my hands"
81 am afraid that you don't get my
pont of view, Mr.. Marshal" said
Nearing. I'm a good American"
