PATRIOTIC APPEAL. MADE TO PUBLISHERS

Washineton, Decer1har s'-(SpeciaI V There will be no legislation requiring newspapers to print no more than A pages a week day and no more than 36 pages on Sunday.
 The postoffice committee of the House considered such bill introduced by Rep resentative Anthony of Kansas this week. Under it's terms the use of the mails was denied to a paper which ex- ceeded the limitations.
 The committee found the bill imprac- ticabls. Instead of advocating such legis- lation, it contented itself with addressing a patriotic appeal to the publishers of the land. Chairman Steenerson fathered the appeal.
 It urged all publishers to reduce their consumption of print paper 10 per cent from tho pxasent tinaA to Iulu |

WOLFF IS SEVERE

Berlin, November 30-Theodore Wolff. writing in the Tagebitt. compares gem eral Ludendorff, formerly chief of tho German general staff, with Xerxes. "who. after the destruction of his fleet, ordered the sea to be whipped"
 "It does not indicate much strength of soul" he continues, when Ludendorff repeatedly seeks to make the people re- sponsible for the revolution, which was ocrasioned only by military affairs. He is considerably more unjust than Xerxes

 ed as one of the most sarcastic and one
 of the strongest which ever left Wash ington.
 Carranza resorted to trick in secur
 ing bail for Jenkins and releasing him,
 and then took stand that he would be
 compelled to face trial. This would have
 given Lansing an opportunity to write
 another note, which, in view of his for
 mer statement that he would not tol-
 crate monkey shines" would certainly
 have been tantamount to an ultimatum But the President has taken charge
 and if note goes to CarranZa, 1t is cer- tain to be more conciliatory in tone. It
 certainly will not in any measure ap- proximate an ultimatum.
 It is the view in Washington that as soon as the noise dies down, Carranza will release Jenkins and order him out of the country. But that there is no dan ger of intervention, seems to be assured.
