WATERPOWER WILL
 SOLVE PROBLEM OF
 COAL, SAYS JONES
Urges Senate Anew to Act on Legislation to Permit
 Hydro . Electric
 Development
sy As,ec,atsd Prss

Washington. December 6.-,How a coal crisis. such as the country now faces. will be alleviated by the de- velopment of electric power by water was pictured to the Senate today by Senator Jones. republican. of Wash ington. who urged the Senate anew to act on the pending legislation to per- init hydro-electric development in nav igable streams.
 The bili already passed in the House. was laid aside in the Senate at the extra session 10 make way for the ieace treaty.
 The ultimate development of all the power available in navigable streams, the senator declared. would be equal to 70.o00.ooo tons of coal. representing value of more than s1.500, 900, ,000-- more coal than the country now ac- tually consumes. At the same time. Senator Jones declared. the ultimate development would mean the improve ment for navigation of more than 4000 of the upper reaches Of navigable streams and besides developing power would develop systems of water trans portation.
 Twenty-two states. most of them in the west and south Senator Jones de- clared, needed the legislation to un- lock natural resources

Carranza Put lIH Bond for
 Q. s. Consul Ayent, Hi11ted
Fact of Consular Agents Release Has Apparently Greatly Lessened Tension, Both at State Department and In the Senate
ny Asssesstsd rrsss

Washington, December G. Today's developments left still in doubt whether Mexican off cials really complied with the request of the United States in releasing William o. Jenkins, the American consular agent, whose imprisonment at Puebla brought relations between the two governments to a critical pass.
 Press dispatches that the release was accomplished only after bail had been furnished were not covered in official advices to the state department, which said Jenkins had reported himself en- rely ignorant of the manner in which he was liberated. and that he was mak- ing an investigation on his own &C., count.
 Upon the answer to this question seems to hinge whether the sharp diplc- matic correspondence on the subject is to be renewed. or the incident per- mitted to pass into history.
 Meantime, the fact of the release it. self apparently has taken off much of the tension of Mexican affairs, both at the state department and in the Sen ate, where uneasiness over recent de- velopments had produced determined movement to ask or a severance of dip lomatic relations.
 The resolution of Senator Fall, re- publican. New Mexico. requesting dip lomatic break, was considered at an afternoon conference of republican members of the foreign relations com mittee, and it was decided not to press the proposals for action until President Wilson had sent to the committee the memorandum of advice he pormised Senator Fall yesterday at the White House conference
 SENATOR'S DIFFER
 It was indicated there was some diff ference of opinion among the republi- can senators as to the expediency of the resolution and that if the President ex- pressed disapproval- it might not be pressed for action. The full committee will meet again Monday.
 In trying to establish the faets
 behind Jenkins' release. the state
 department is running down . sus-
 pected connection between J. SaI-
 ter Hansen, said to have furnished
 bail fer the consular agent, and
 the Mexican government. Officials
 said Hansen was reported te have
 had some association with Luis
 Cabrera, Cararnza's finance minis
 ter, and that hail might have been
 forwarded to Puebla the least
 embarrassing method by which the
 Mexico City officials could extFi-
 cate themselves from the situation.
 While the departments investigation is proceeding, officials here still are waiting for Caranza's reply to the last American request for Jenkins release, Reports some days ago indicated it was in preparation, but tonight it had not been received at the department.

The Sweater Up to Date.

There seems no more chance OF the

long period Of popularity. The fact
that it has continued with us so long

itself 80 adaptable. If it had insisted

Of all fads that become passe, but not
so with the sweater. Perhaps the
people to whose interest 1t Is to sell
wooden yarns of all sorts and knitting
needles and knitting and crocheting
accessories see to 1t that the sweater
is kept in an ever-interesting guise.
whoever invented the filet crochet
sweater was a genius. For they af
ford diversion for the woman who has
grown desperately tired OF knitting
needles through making hundreds of
war socks. and somehow the light
light frocks goes into the picture
beautifully this year. The old-fash-
toned silk sweater would look wrong,
but this filet crocheted sweater is de-
cidedly, harmonious.
ANY one who has had luck handling
knitting needles ought to be able to
make flet sweaters. The work has
the advantage of going much faster
than knitting. The designs in the
fi1et may be worked out from block
designs, for which you can get print
ed directions in any of the up-to- the
minute needlework embroidery shops

think that they can wear serge. cloth

Therefore. 1t is well to sweep, aside
that kind of bravado. Summer is here
and it demands thin fabrics. The blue
serge suit may be kept for an occasional
cool day; the fur piece may be worn In
defiance of the Thermometer: but the
clothes that one should have in the
wardrobe at this moment must rest
their claim for good service on softness
and thinness.

EUROPE TO SEND
GREAT MEN HERE TO HELP
Many Prominent Military Leaders and
Statesmen Of Allied Countries Will
Come Over to Speak for
Victory Loan.

Fresh interest is contributed to the
coming Victory Liberty loan cam
paign by the announcement that many
eminent military leaders and states
men will come here from Europe to
speak for the loan.
1t is reported that the great inter
est and support evinced by the. alien
population in previous loan drives is

in the speakers being brought here.

serve director for the Liberty loan for
eign language division in the Seventh
district, on his return to the district
headquarters in Chicago. after confer
ences in Washington, issued the fol-
lowing statement:
"Many prominent Europeans will
visit this country during the coming
loan drive and bring the message of
victory to their Americanized country
men. regret that cannot announce
names at this time. but they will come
through Washington after acceptances
have been received. The invitations
are being sent through the state de-
partment, working in conjunction with
the diplomatic representatives.

fairs to visit us not only as an express
sion of thanks to our own foreign born
for their support during the war. but
so that they get frst-hand In

stoned in their native lands by the

While Mr.. Streyckmans was noncom-

thentic source that some of them have
achieved worldwide recognition in af-
fairs of state, while others have leaped
into prominence by their spectacular
