BARUCH DENIES THAT HE
SPOKE FOR PRESIDENT
By Briggs

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-Bernard NJ
Baruch, in a statement made at
Georgetown, S. c., and given out here
yesterday, replied to an article printed
in all newspapers telling of his ac-
uvities in Washington to bring to-
gether various Senators in a compro-
mise on the peace treaty. His state
ment follows in full:
MY attention has just been called
TO the article sent out under a wash
ington date line, Sunday last, repre-
senting me as having undertaken to
define to certain Senator'S the Presi-
dents attitude about the peace treaty.
THAT article is a tissue of lies from
beginning to end. / have not ssg-
gested, nor intimated, to any Senator
that i spoke for the President in any
particular.
Whatever I have done in behalf Of
the peace treaty, / have done as a
private citizen, speaking my own
views only, and endeavoring, in COM
mon with millions of my fellow
countrymen and women, to set for
ward the cause Of peace and to bring
about the ratification of the League Of
Nations, which, in my opinion, will
be the greatest agency ever devised
for the prevention Of future wars.
Il refrain from replying to the
vicious personal attacks made upon me
by certain newspapers controlled by
one man.
These attacks are a part only Of
the sinister and malevolent purpose
Of a certain coteric in this country
which is determined to prevent the
ratification OF the peace treaty at all
hazards.
-

ing. into the service of the country.
Il Immediately gave up all business
of every kind and character and de-
voted myself wholly to the discharge
Of my public duties. l have not been

ness since"

JUVENILE BRUSH MAKERS
RECEIVE $4,000 ORDER
Work Being Done by Inmates Of
American Orphanage
in Siberia.

BELGRADE, Dec 24-The children
in the American Orphanage here have
just received contract from a Dan
ube steamship line for $4,000 worth
of brushes. All of the work is done
by children under ten years of age III
the school room.
This orphanage was established
some months ago by Miss C44ra
Lewis. of Chippewa Falls, Wis, hSad
of the war orphans bureau of the Red
Cross here. It Is a model orphanage
established not only to care for about
800 children. but to serve as a model
for many that the Serbian Govern
had no modern orphange previously
but 1t had about 100000 orphans.
All the children are taught voca-
tions, which is quite a new idea in
Serbian orphan work. Brush is one
OF the principal vocations taught and
the children have shown such apti-
tude that they have received a num-
Der OF contracts, in addition to the
latest one for $4,000. The profits, OF
course, go toward maintaining the
home. and very shortly they will be
sufficient to make the home self-sus-
tanning.
One way Miss Lewis interested the
children was to take them all out to
place on the Danube, where the
right kind Of brush-grasses grew. and
to have a picnic lunch after the
grasses were gathered. The children
were so delighted with these little
trips, that making the grass brushes
became popular almost Immediately

ENGINEERS DISCOVER
ANCIENT NIAGARA FALLS
Has Been Buried For Thousands OF
Years-Located During
Construction.

THOROLD, Ontario, Dec. c4-What
engin -ers believe is an ancient
Niagara Falls. which has been uncov.
cred here during the course Of exca-
vations for .he new weIland ship
canal.
The Skeleton" of this great pre-
historic cataract. according to en-
gineers In charge Of construction was
FULLY as wide and probably had q
greater fall than the present Mag cara
Falls.
The first Indications Of the former
cataract came to light when work
men uncovered a series of Lodges in
the form of steps with a total drop
or twenty-five feet. and a width OF 400
teet. The rock from this point sloped
sharply and at a distance of about
100 feet from the end of the lodges
showed depth of seventy-five. Here
was discovered what is believed &c
nave been the main precipice over
which the rushing water plunged hun
dTeds OF feet to its bed below.
The surface of the rock showed un-
mistakablc signs OF having been worn
smooth by the action Of water rush
ing over it for countless years.
There is nothing in history that
mentions this former cataract. but eI
perts belieSe it once formed the chief
INK between Lake Erie and Lake On
tario. EiGht-Mile creek, small
stream. now flows over part of the
course OF the prehistoric waterway
and this in turn Will soon become the
new ship canal.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-Tn these

done you have to employ specialist,
and you have to pay the specialist s
price.
ut is nobody's business what a
labor leader receives IL the rank and
fle of his organization is satisfied. If
the workers of. a union can win 10
per cent increase in wages through
expert guidance and counsel without
a strike, it means more to them in the

per cent after long strike.
TT is to accomplish just such ends
