Trade Conferences Held
Where Spies Formerly
Gathered and Conspired

THE HAGUE.-Trade conferences
between bankers, merchants and
statesmen of the entente countries
and central powers have succeeded
the mysterious. gatherings of spies in
the hotels here and at Amsterdam.
The iron, steel, shoes, ships and
sealing wax Of commerce are the
topics instead Of the routes of sub
marines, troop ships and food ships.
Whatever may be the opinion in
America, or England, or France, re-
garding resumption Of business with
Germany and Austria, the represen-
tatives of the business concerns of
those countries show norn1ng but a
keen desire for such trade at the
conferences here.
The other day, at one of The
Hague hotels the groups seated in
the lobby, engaged in earnest con-
versation on trade subjects, included:
One--English ship owners and di-
rector Of one of Gerrnany's biggest
transatlantic lines:
Two-Belgian banker and German
automobile manufacturer;
Three-American travelling sales
men and a Hungarian general impor-
ter.
All of them so far as the corre-
spondent could judge from the frag-
ments Of their conversation that
came to- his ears, were on friendly
terms and keen for business. ..-''s

LIQUOR MEN TO
USE POLITICIANS.
DRYLEADERSSAY

Anti-prohibition in America will
not attempt further attacks on the
validity of the Eighteenth Amend
ment to the constitution, but will
endeavor. through the election Of
congressman friendly to the liquor
interests, to modify the enforcement
laws to such an extent that the con-
stitutional amendment will be prac'
tically worthless, was the opinion
expressed by speakers at the lunch
con given at the Ansley hotel, in
Atlanta, under the auspices of tho
Anti-Saloon league.
The luncheon was attended by
more than 200 prominent Atlanta
business and clergymen, in addition.
to a number of men from various
cities who have been active in the
work of the league. Asa G. Cand-
Ter presided at the session, and, IN
introducing the speakers, Endorsed
the plan Of the league for proht-
bition law enforcement during nexS
year.
DR.. Ira Landrith, of Nashville, ma
tional lecturer for the Anti-Saloon
league, and DR.. P. A. Baker, of Mont
gomery, Ala, general superintendent
of the league, the principal speakers,
spoke enthusiastically on the neces-
sity for continued fight against the
liquor interests of America, and both
declared that the Anti-Saloon league
had still a hard fight before 1t in
order to prevent the mutilation of
the existing prohibitory laws.

Drainage System Is
Planned in Jerusalem .
By Zionist Commission

A comprehensive drainage system
for Jerusalem is in course Of con-
struction, according to an official re-
port from the Zionist administration
commission received recently by J.
H. Goldstein, chairman Of the Zion
list district Of Atlanta. The system
will provide the ancient city with
adequate sanitary facilities and both
Christian and Moslem communities
will benefit from it, it was stated.
The drainage system is but a part
of the vast work which is being car
ried out by the Jews Of the world
at Jerusalem in the extensive plan to
build a homeland in Palestine for the
Jews. The British Royal engineers,
stationed in Jerusalem in March,
1918, made a rough survey Of the
sewerage of the Jewish quarters out
lying the old city and after the sign
ing Of the arnistice Jewish engineers
took up this work and will complete
it.
Money for carrying on the plans
for the Jewish homeland in Palestine
are furnished by the Jewish national
fund. Sunday the Jews of Atlanat
will conduct subscription and con-
tribution campaign in the Atlanta
Zionist district in the interest of this
fund.

NEW YORK.-Jewelryw orn by an
Egyptian princess of the twelfth dy-

Metropolitan Museum of Art. 1t is
declared to be the finest collection
Of personal adornment ever brought
out of Egypt.
a, When marauders entered the tomb
of Princess Sathathoriunut at some
odd moment in the last $500 years,
they took away her mummy and
even the elaborate funeral trappings
but overlooked a niche containing
the wonderfully wrought ornaments
she wore when attending the ancient
equivalent of first night at opera.
Prof. W. M. Flinders Petrie, head
Of an English archaeological society
dug the collection out in 1914, and
today it looks as bright as IL 1t
had just come from the makers.

mier Berlanga declared. 1.-THE point
of view taken by MeXicans in con-

conviction that the people of the
United States are opposed to il. In

constituencies politicians and GER

"In the matter Of relations be.
tween Mexico and the United States
there is great advantage in that
both governments are actuated by
the best desires. Conflicts which
arise are provoked by passion or
commercialism on the part of groups
hostile to Mexico and which are &C.

also have a hand in this evil in the

unsuccessful to date, SO far as its

Say Norman Hapgood
Showed Sympathy for
Bolshevik Government

WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Lodge, chairman of the foreign rela-
tons committee, declined today to
discuss published report that Nor
man Hapgood, minister to Denmark,
decided to return to the United States
after the state department learned
the committee was prepared to make
public information which was ex-
pected to show activities and sym
pathies for the Russian Soviet gov
eminent.
The only comment from Senator
Lodge was that Hapgood's nomina-
ton died with the last session of
congress and that no recess appoint
ment has been made. The commit
tee secured information several
months that provoked such deter
mind opposition to confirmation of
Mr.. Hapgood that Secretary Lansing
was informed the appointment would
not be approved. Members of the
committee, it is said, were prepared,
If necessary. to present this informa-
ton to the senate and possibly to
the public.
The information obtained from
Paris, New York and other places,
is said reliably to be similar to re-
ports published that Mr.. Hapgood
interested himself toward fostering
commerce between American export
interests and those Of Soviet Rus

PASTORS STORY OF VISITS OF
WIFE'S SPIRIT AROUSES COMMENT

PHILADELPHIA Rev. DR..
Russell H. Conwell, veteran pastor
of Grace Baptist temple. who has
Just returned from a lecture tour,
tells in detail of visits he had re-
ceived from the spirit of his dead
wife and how she had conversed
with him. He also described two
tests he made to verify the spiritua-
listic character of his experiences,
and said he is making thorough in
quiry into spiritualism.
Publication several days ago of a
statement that DR.. Conwell had told
of the visitations of his wife aroused
storm of discussion and contro-
versy among clergymen and psychol-
ogists.
DR.. Lightner Wilmer, of the Uni
versity of" Pennsylvania psychology
ical laboratory; DIR. Joseph H. Leidy,
noted neurologist, and others have
attributed DR.. Conwells experiences
to the operation of his sub-conscious
mind. This explanation does not sat-
isfy DR.. Conwell, who, while not a
convert to spiritua1ism, is profound
ly impressed. ..

FOOTPRINT RECORDS ADVOCATED
FOR IDENTIFICATION OF BABIES

| How simple it would be now to
settle all questions of the identity
of the Love of Mike baby. Either
it is the Wentz baby or it is not.
The footprints would determine be-
| yond a possibility of doubt, and a
great deal of unnecessary trouble
would be eliminated for everybody.
"It would be impossible to keep
finger prints of babies, owing to the
difficulty Of manipulating their lit
tie fingers, one by one. The capil-
larry ridges on the ball of the foot
purposes, and could be obtained very
easily"
Mr.. little said he was in favor of
system of universal finger or foot
print bureaus, not only for criminals.
but for all classes Of society. The
footprints of babies should be taken
in the hospital where the child is
born, he said, and one copy given
to the mother to keep and another
to some central bureau, either in the
hospital or the Bureau of Vital Sta
tfstics. Whenever such an emergen-
cy as the Wentz case arose, in which
there was doubt as to the identity
VI CIlllu, the prlIllS WOulC Hupp1y
the answer. Even mother lore may
lead to mistaken identity, but foot
prints never err.
The system already is being Used
in the Chicago Lying-In hospital, as
an additional protection against the
possible confusion of babies. Mr.
Title said many efforts had been
made by fingerprint enthusiasts to
establish the system in New York
hospitals, but so far the public had
not been sufficiently interested to
force the reform. The increasing
number of cases of lost babies dur
ing the last year, however, led him
to express the opinion that mothers
would soon realize the necessity of
reliable system of Identifying them.
At present all mother has for
identification is the color of hair and
eyes and a possible mark or scar on
the child's body. These have been
shown to be inadequate, but foot
prints would be infallible and I'M
changeable.
