Who Provided
$500 Bond For the
Release of Jenkins

Washington, Dec. There was no
word tonight indicating a solution of
the mystery which has developed
from the sudden release Of William
0. Jenkins, American consular agent,
from the Puebla jail, after the deter
mined demand of this government ap-
parently had failed in influence his
Mexican captors. Both the state de-
partment and Jenkins himself already
have started Investigations, with the
object of determining what influences
were instrumental in putting up the
$500 bail bond which the Mexican
government so readily accepted.
Admittedly the crux of an interna-
tional situation Of utmost tenseness
tw odays ago, the Jenkins case has
now become diplomatic enigma, the
solution of which offered interesting
but not dangerous possibilities.

NO INFORMATION
AT INDIANAPOLIS
Neither Miners Leaders Nor
Officials Know What to Ex-
pect-Miners Have Faith in
Lewis.

Indianapolis, Ind, Dec. 7.--Govern-
ment officials and representatives of
the United Mine Workers of America
urofessed ignorance tonight of the
terms of the proposed settlement OF
the strike of coal miners of the coun-
try. agreed upon last night at Wash
ington by officials of the miners
union and Attorney General Palmer
and Joseph Tumulty, the presidents IS
secretary.
Henry S. Mitchell, special assistant
to Mr.. Palmer, who is in indianapolis
to assist the United States district at
torney in the investigation of alleged
violations of the Lever and antitrust
laws, said that he had received no ad-
vices from Washington since the con-
ference last night so would venture no
opinion as to whether the contempt
proceedings against heads of the min
ers' union would be dismissed or post
poned.
Attorneys for the miners said they
had no idea as to the proposal made
in Washington and that they could
not predict what effect the agreement
would have on the court proceedings
here.
& Willis Searles, editor of the United
Mine Workers Journal, would only
reiterate his statement of early this
morning, that whatever proposal had
proved acceptable to Acting President
John L. Lewis and Secretary Treas
urer William Green in Washington
would be indorsed by the executive
board of the miners when it meets
here Tuesday. Mr.. Searles said that
Messrs. Lewis and Green were not ex-
pected to reach Indianapolis before to-
morrow morning, and that in the
meantime miners officials here ex-
pected no information on the Wash
ington agreement.
A special session of the federal
grand jury is scheduled to start to-
morrow morning to take up charges
OF conspiracy on the part of miners
and operators to limit the production
Of coal. Action against the coal men
will be sought under the Lever and
antitrust acts, and according to at
torneys for the government the in
yestigation will extend to every sec

HUNS ARE OPPOSED
TO PEACE protocol
Minister of Defense Asks Gov
ernment to Refuse to Sign
DOcument-''Let Allies Occu-
py County if They Like"

London, Monday, Dec. 8.-Gustave
Noske, minister of defense, is deter
mined not to sign the peace protocol
delivered to Germany by the entente
and is resolved to recommend the
government adopt his attitude, come
what may, according to an interview
with Noske printed today.
81 cannot speak for the whole gov
ernment, because it has not yet come
to a decision," said Noske, "but |
shall recommend refusal to sign the
peace treaty protocol"
"The limit has long been reached.
Let the allies occupy the country if
they like. The peace now presented
to us is not peace, but prolongation
of the war.
"Were such treaty accepted, the
German nation would rise up and
avenge itself upon the men who
signed it, and it would be right. Great
Britain and. France are deliberately
planning the destruction of Germany.
All the condolences l ever had in the
pledges of the allies is gone forever.
"By deceit and trickery the British
and French governments are working
up opinion in their countries to cripple
Germany still further beyond the
crushing effect of the first treaty. We
have yielded too often, and now must
resist. Let the allies do what they
| please"
Asked whether he would resign if
the remainder of the government de-
cided to accept the allied terms, Noske
replied that he could not say what he
would do week hence, but that his
present position had been deliberately
adopted and was unalterable.
The correspondent says that al
though Noske carefully emphasized
that he was defining his own position,
his words agreed with the intentions
ascribed to the other members of the
cabinet.
The two straws which Noske re-
ferred to as having broken the back
of German endurance, the correspond
ent says, are the demand for dock and
harbor material and the protocol en-
powering the allies to enforce execu-
tion of the peace treaty.

MEXICO PRINCIPAL
TOPIC in CONGRESS
OvershadOws All Questions Like
ly to be Taken up This Week
Little Probability of Treaty
Being Considered.

Washington, Dec. THE Mexican
situation overshadows all questions
likely to come before congress this
week.
The Senate foreign relations COM
mittee will meet tomorrow to give
further consideration to a resolution
requesting President Wilson to break
off diplomatic relations with Mexico
and to withdraw recognition of the
Carranza government.
Senator Fall, Republican, of New
Mexico, author of the resolution,
talked over the situation with the
president on Friday afternoon, and it
had been expected that Mr. Wilson
would give some expression of opinion
on the proposal in advance of the
meeting. Senator Fall said tonight,
however, that the president had not
definitely promised any response,
either before tomorrow's committee
meeting or later.
Aside from Mexico there is work
enough to keep Senate and House
busy until the holidays, with little
probability that the German peace
treaty will be taken up in the Senate
meanwhile. Indeed, with the president
and Republican leaders apparently
deadlocked over responsibility for the

fore next month has been expected.
Senate leaders still hope to get
vote this week on the Cummins bill,
designed to meet conditions with re-
turn Of the railroads to private oper-
alton and control, but with the long
fight over the bills anti-strike pro-
vision there may be no final enactment
until next month. President Wilson
announced last spring that the roads
would be turned back the first of the
year, but many senators believe now
that he will wait until the new law is
effective.
Many hearings and Investigations
are on the docket for the week. The
Senate elections committee plans to
take up the Ford -Newberry election
contest by appointing sub-commit-
tee to conduct an inquiry and count
the ballots sent here from Michigan.
The Senate interstate commerce
committee will try to get started on
plans for investigation Of the federal
trade commission and its employers.
immigration legislation is to be con-
sidered further this week by the
House immigration committee, and in
consideration of anti-radical legisla-
tion, Senator Sterling, Republican, of
South Dakota, will attempt to have
the House pass his sedition bill penal
izing attempts to overthrow the gov
ernment.

MOELLER'S PLAY
IN BOOK FORM
'Moliere," Produced at Broad.
Excellent for Reading
at Home

Philadelphians will be particularly
interested in reading Philip Moeller's
"Moliere" because of the all-st nres .
entation made here last fall on the stage
of the Broad.
1t will probably be the consensus of
opinion that the play reads as we'll as.
II not better. than It acted before the
footlights. Particularly striking are the
passages in the last act. just before Mo =
llere's death, when he and his old actor.
Coliinge. and his housekeeper recall
the old days on the high roads of south :
ern France when they were all so
happy. The style here is exquisite and
the scene contains a pathos and a ten
derness that strike very deeply,
Equally we'll worth reading il the
famous passage at the end Of the second
net when Moliere defies his monarch
and which Henry Miller delivered with
such fire and spirit. 1t loses nothini
on being read by the quiet of one't
own freside.
On the other hand. the first act
which, on the stage, went poorly snt
seemed to drag. is found to be marke,
by literary merit and is characterized
by some of Mr.. Moeller's finest humor
as well as much of his cutting satir,
and his philosophy.
Thep play is not a short one. bu
seems to be one of those phys which. up.
deserVedly. just missing great success
on the boards. is destined to be an ex
cellent "closet play"

''for White has certainly changed his
skin"
Miss Repplier tells how Doctor White
persuaded Abbey to visit Switzer-
land. The artist did not like noun
tain climbing, and he induced the sur
geon to take lessons in drawing from
him. Doctor White labored long and
faithfully, but finally confessed that
he could not draw anything that was
recognizable or Of the right size. IF l
try to sketch a rowboat," he said, sit
looks like an ocean liner or pea
nut"
He runs across the late John G. John
son in Switzerland and finds that John
son is as averse as Abbey to mountain
climbing and spent his time reading
novels and playing solitaire.
On one occasion in London he found
himself seated at the same table with
the late Doctor Munyon, from whom
he fed as from the pestilence, says
Miss Repplier, and she quotes some
indignant comments that he made. He
attended a religious service at St.
Paul's in London, and disliked the ser
mon because the preacher mixed up
religion" with It. When he bought a
farm in Delaware county for his re-
Taxation he was constantly irritated
during the period of its rehabilitation
for his occupancy. Whenever he
thought Of it he exclaimed, "Oh, hell ="
His friends began to speak Of the place
by this name, and suggested that it be
called by that title. The name pleased
the doctor, but less suggestive title
was chosen when Mrs. White said that
she could not very well have the other
engraved on her note paper.
The book is filed with this sort of
detail. which, when massed together.
produces a lifelike picture of the man
about whom she is writing. She has
included three illustrations. One is a
reproduction Of the Sargent portrait,
another is reproduction of Thomas
Eakins's painting of Doctor Agnev's S
clinic, in which Doctor White appears,
and the third is a conventional photo. .

years.

LATE DOCTOR WHITE
ASA HUMAN BEING
agnes Reppers Biography Of the Famous Surgeon Deals Viii
His Personal Rather Than With His Professional Life

The long heralded life Of the late DR.
J. William White by Miss Agnes Rep
plier has just come from the press oi
the Houghton- Mifflin Company, OF Bos
ton. Miss Repplier is an old friend oil
the distinguished surgeon, and has had
access to his papers and his diaries
Her story thus has the authenticity
which comes from personal knowledge
and from documents. She has not at
tempted to write in detail of his career
as a surgeon. There are only inciden =
tai references to it. She writes OF the
man, and the greater part of the vol
ume is filled with accounts of his relax
ations. Considerable space, however,
is given to his extra professional activ-
tiles.
The book will be particularly inter
esting to the men and women who
knew Doctor White, but it will have a
wider appeal for the reason that there
is much in it about the distinguished
men whom the surgeon called his
friends. Among these men Of world
wide fame are Theodore Roosevelt, Sir
Frederick Treves, Henry James, Ed
win A. Abbey and John Singer Sar-
gent. The book is full of anecdotes.
There is the one about the Sargent
portrait. Doctor White, when his
friends and former students planned
to present to the medical department
of the University a portrait of him,
asked Sargent if he would paint it. He
wished to appear in the scarlet and
blue academic gown of Aberdeen Uni
versity. which had conferred the degree
of doctor of laws on him. Although
Sargent had abandoned portrait paint
ing, he consented. Doctor White went
over to London for the sittings. and
when he arrived he was bronzed from
exposure to the sun on shipboard. When
the painting was brought to America
and hung at the winter exhibition OF
the Academy of the Fine Arts Doctor
Keen stood before it on the night OF
the private view and noted the Malayan
complexion.
Don't tell me that the leopard can
not change its spots," he remarked.

POULTNEY BIGELOW
FLAYS PRUSSIANISN
"PruSsidnism and Pacifsm'
Typical Of His Impetuous
Prsonality

In what his foreword intimates may
be his last book, Poultney Bigelow dis
sects. discusses and despises the two
"conauistadore' wilhelms. Prussianism
and pacifism has to do with the chron-
icles of Hohenzollernism from the fight
of the first Wilhelm, later the first Ger
man emperor, from Berlin in 1S4S, to
the similar vanishing from the same
place in 1918 of the second William,
eventually the last German emperor.
If this Is to be the finish Of Mr..
Bigelow's career as a litterateur-one
cannot say historian, for although he
has written on historical subjects, he
has neither the balance nor the tenn
permanent for a successful historian-'tis
pity it was penned for it is a singularly
Incorporate, illhumored and frenetic
book All the impetuous and tempestu-
Gus quality of Mr.. Bigelow's earlier
works are found to a degree in this new
work. 1t scolds and it is intolerant OF
other viewpoints. One does not have
to be a friend Of Prussianism and an
advocate of pacifsm to feel unsympa
thetic toward this book, the text of which
is necessity of drastic handling of the
Boche forever and a day. and the need
of unremitting vigil, presumably armed
against new power -lusts of renascent
kultur.
Mr.. Bigelow, of course. capitalizes
again his now familiar experiences and
associations gained in Germany ant
elsewhere on the continent through first
his fathers career as an American
diplomatist and. later through his owl
travels.
The book has some suggestive ant
stimulating passages, particularly of 6
monitory nature, which deserve con.
sideration if.not absolute and immediate
acceptance.
