BETS SHE WILL
KISS PERSHING
AND LOSES $1OO
Fair War Worker Makes
Rush for General But
Fails to Get By.

Washington, Sept. 20.-One fair
war worker faces the loss of 500
as a result of a wager that she
would kiss General Pershing be-
fore he left Washington. AS the
expeditionary commander was leav-
ing hotel last night where he at
tended a function in his honor, a
comely young woman, who had
edged her way to the front Of the
crowd surrounding the entrance,
made a rush for him. Members Of
the generals staff grabbed her but
not until she had an arm around
General Pershing's neck and was
struggling to kiss him.
Her act was a signal for a grand
rush on the part of other feminine
members of the crowd and General
Pershing literally had to dive into
his waiting car.
In the meantime the young wom-
an, apparently thinking an expla-
nation of her precipitate action
was due, explained she had wag-
cred 800 that she would kiss Gen
eral Pershing before he left Wash
ington.

JOHNSON QUITS
WILSON'S TRAIL
Announces He Wdll Return to
Washington Despite Senator
Lodges Advice.

Duluth, Mimi. Sept, 20-Sen-
tor Hiram Johnson of California
announced here last night that he
would abandon his proposed speak
ing trip to the Pacific coast in an
swer to President Wilson on the
peace treaty and League of Ma
tions. The announcement of Sen
ator Johnson was made in face OF
late word from Senator Lodge to
continue his speaking trip on the
trail of the president.
Senator Johnson stated that he
will speak in St Paul and Min
neapolis today and leave for Wash
ington on Monday, without max
ing any further speeches.
The senator gave no reason for
his decision to abandon his trip to
the western coast on the heels of
the president, and his announce
ment following so closely the ad-
vice of Senator Lodge for him to
continue on his tour, aroused con-
siderable speculation
Lodge Without Word.
Washington, Sept Ex-senator
Lodge, chairman of the foreign re-
lations committee, and Senator
Knox of Pennsylvania, who tele-
graphed Senator Johnson that he
need not return, had not heard
from the California senator early
today and had no information of
his decision to come back after his
speech tonight in Minneapolis, be-
yond that contained in press dis
patches.

PEACE AT AMY
PRICE ASKED,
SAYSREPORT
Russian City Soviet EN-
powers ENJOYS to Be
gin Negotiations.

Copenhagen, Sept. 2O.-(Via
LOndOn-)-The city soviet Of
PetrOgrad has empowered the
peoples cOmmissaries to begin
peace negotiations with the al
lies on the basis Of conditions
fixed by the allied powers, ac-
cOrding to reports received
here from PetrOgrad.
Peace is wished at any
price by the PetrOgrad soviet,
the reports declare.
(No peace offer to the allies has
been reported from the central So
Wet government at Moscow and
an offer by the Petrograd city so
Wet would therefore appear to be
in the nature OF a separate peace
proposal by the Petrograd dis
trict.
Conditions Bad.
Living conditions in Petrograd
have been reported extremely bad
for some time past. Recent dis
patches reported an epidemic OF
cholera raging there with from 200
to 300 persons dying daily and
conditions becoming intol-
cradle Famine was said to be

Companies Not to Make
an Organized Fight
Against Walkout.

New York, Sept. 20.-It was
learned at the offices of the
United States Steel corporation
today that the methods to be
employed in combating the
strike called for Monday morn
ing would be left in a general
way to the discretion of the
heads of the various plants and
subsidiaries. The plans 10 be
followed are not expected to
be uniform, but will be gov
erned largely by local cOndi-
tions.
1t is not the intention of the
corporation to close all plants
where the employees are not 100
per cent loyal to the company.
If this policy is adopted in
some cases it will be at the
discretion of the plant manag-
ers or the heads of the subsid-
larry companies of which the
plants are units.
Pittsburgh, Pa, Sept. Pore
ports that the United States Steel
corporation would shut down its
plants in the Pittsburgh district
unless there was 100 per cent 10y
atty shown by the workers were
denied today at the offices of the
Carnegie Steel company, a subsid-
iary. The plants will operate as
long as men report for work, II
was said.
Reports Cause Stir.
The reports caused a stir in la
Dor circles here but were not be-
lieved in view of the statement
made by E. H. Gary, chairman OF
the board of the United States
Steel corporation in his letter to
the presidents of the subsidiary
that the plants should
proceed with their business in the
usual way.
Representatives of steel com
panies all along have said tha!
they will operate as long as they
are able to do SO.
At national strike headquarters
today, W. 2. Foster, secretary of
the national committee Of the steel
said that the next move
was up to the employers.
I'VE have called the men out"
he said, "and they will stay out
until the companies make a move
that will bring them back"
Asked how many men he expect
ed will answer the strike call, Mr..
