ARMISTICE DAY

ONE YEAR AGO TODAY the big noise in
" Europe ceased suddenly, at II o'clock a.
m, and the big noise in America began early
that morning and lasted until late at night
Even while, by the clock, men were fighting
furiously all along the western front. dealing
death and destruction, here in the United
States we were celebrating ioyousy the cessa
hon OF more than four years Of hell on earth.
This is Armistice Day, the first anniversary
Of the cessation of hostlities SO far as this
country is concerned the war has not ended
the American senate having held up the peace
treaty. Happily, no men are being slaughter
ed on the battlefield, and for that we are
thankful. But because Of the altogether n
expected and absolutely unreasonable attitude
of group of United States senator's approach
to a condition Of world peace and stability has
been delayed far beyond the time when such a
condition should have been arrived at by al
the nations.
Our feelings today may be divided into
three sections: We rejoice that the slaughter
has ended, we mourn for the heroes who were
slaughtered, and we are highly indignant that
for petty partisan reasons a little group of will
ful men is delaying peace and endangering the
future security and prosperity of America and
of the world.

HfLluM TO BE MAOt
 FROM LONE STAR GAS

Dallas, Texas, Jan. 14.-A contract between the United States govern ment and the Lone Star Gas Company under which the gas company will re- duce the amount of natural gas taken from it's Petrolia field for supplying the cities of Dallas and Ft. Worth thereby conserving the gas to permit the government to extract hellum therefrom for use in balloons and rigid dirigibles, was announced here tonight in a telegram from Fred M Leges, Jr., vice-president of the Lone Star Company, now in Washington. The contract, MT. Leges said, / was signed Friday, by Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy. The govern ment for it's part agrees to assist the gas company in securing other sources of natural gas for Ft. Worth and Dal- las and pay part of the cost of neces- sary pipe lines to the new gas fields in West Texas, involving an expendl- ture of probably $4,OO0,00O according to Mir. Leges.
 Helium is a on-inflammable, gas especially valuable for use in balloons and Petrolia is said to be the only
 known field in the world where it is found in sufficient quantity to justify
 it's extraction. The government al ready has an extraction plant under construction at Ft. Worth. This plant, which will cost eseveral million dol
 lars. is expected be completed March 1st.
 The new pipe line project, besides contemplating lines from the West Texas fields to a point midway be- tween Dallas and lFt. Worth, calls for the construction of line to the fields south of Dallas in order to insure all
 ample supply of natural gas for in- dustrial purposes i'll Ft. Worth and Dallas.

(Continued From Page One.) and associated powers have given earnest consideration to the question of publicity for the proceedings of the peace conference. They are anxious that the public through the press should have the fullest information compatible with the safeguarding of the supreme interest of all, which is that a just and honorable settlement should be arrived at with the mini mum of delay. conversations now proceeding must
 "'It is, however, obvious that pub licity with regard to the preliminary be subject to the limitations neces- sarily imposed by difficult and delicate nature of their object. The proceed ings of peace conference are far more analogous to the meetings of a cabinet than to those of legislature ! Nobody has ever suggested that cabl- net meetings should be held in pubic, mind if they were so held, the work of government would become impos- sible
 cone reason why cabinets are held in private is in order that differences may be reconciled and agreements reached before the stage of publicity 1 is begun. The essence of the demo cratic methods is not that the dellD- erations of a government be conduct ed in public but that it's conclusions be subject to the consideration Of popular chamber and to free and open discussion on the platform and by the press.
 "'Representatives of the allied an' associated powers are holding con versations in order to solve questions which affect the vital interests o many nations and upon which the! may at present hold many diverse views. These deliberations cannon proceed by the method of a malorlt! vote. No nation can be committed eX cept by the free vote of it's own deie gates. The conclusions arrived at II these consultations, therefore, car only be formed by the difficult pro cess of reaching an agreement amohs all ,"

PRESS REPRESENTATIVES
 FAVOR PEACE PUBLICITY

Paris, Jan. 17-{By The Associated Press. )-Representatives of the allied and American press at their meeting Thursday unanimously adopted the following resolution
 First, it is essential to insure full publicity for the peace negotiations.
 "Second, the official communiques should be as complete as possible.
 "Third, in addition to the communi- Gues, full summaries of the days pro- ceedings should be issued, not neces. sarily for textual publication, but for the guidance fthe press.
 "Fourth, there should be no inter- ference with free intercourse between the delegates and responsible journal ists.
 "Fifth, Journalists should be per mitted to attend the formal session: of the conference.
 Sixth, It is recommended tha' there be equal treatment of the alhee press by the obilition of the censor ship in all allied countries"
 All except the French delegates agreed to these recommendations.
 "First, there should be direct rep resentation of the press at the sit tings of the peace conference.
 "Second. the press of each of tht great powers should be represented by not less than five delegates ant each of the smaller powers Who act ivelv participated in the war should be represented proportionate'y."

PROFITS
 NEARLY
 BILLION
'The Food Administration A Neither Regulated Profits or Benefited Consumers"

Washington, Jan. 17.-Food admin lstfatlon regulations neither regulat ed profits of the meat packers no, benefited the public or the consun,- CTS Stuart Case, an expert accountant employed by the Federal Trade Com mlsslon, told the senate agricp1turp coil'!hl''ee today in presenting figures to snow that profits of the five big packing concerns had doubled and trebled during the war.
 NIT. Chase, who was testifvjne at hearings on the Kendrick bill pro- Vldlng for government supervision of the meat industry, said no one knows accurately what the packers earn inSs are because their methods of bookkeeping have the effect of oov- er1ng up their profits. He declared however, that examinations by tue commission of the books of Armour &, Company, Morris X Company, Swift & Company, Wilson < ompany, and the Cudahy Company showed their az gregate profits in 1912 were $1S,715.- oNH e'iit III I'i i, pco,UO'.UUu.
 Based on capital stock, Mir. Chase said Morris and Company's profits in l9li were 261.l per cent and that on the same basis Armour & Company's profits in 1916 were HAP per cent. Because of a later increase in capital stock, the percentage for Armour & Company dropped to 271 in 1917
 Swift X Company's profits in 1917 on the same basis were 63 per cent, while those of the Cudahy Company in 1917 were 23.2 per cent based on capital stock and surplus Wilson X Company's earnings for the same year were 29.6 per cent on the com bined capital and surplus.
 Hugh Mclsaac and Dr. A. B. Adams, investigators for the Federal Trade Commission at the time of it's recent packers investigation, testified rela tive to the examination of various pa pers in the Chicago office vaults of Henry Needer. attorney for Swift X Company.
 The hearings will be resumed to- morrow with Francis J. Heney, of San Francisco again on the stand.

Tribune's Statement.

New York, Jan .17.-The following statement was issued by the New York Tribune tonight:
 At 11:3O a. m., Friday. January 17th, the New York Tribune issued a statement denying that it had ever received from Paris or had ever print ed in it's columns a statement remote ly resembling that which was refer red to by Premier Clemenceau in the Chamber of Deputies. At 2:20 p. m. there was received in the Tribune of flee what appeared to be the message in question. Owing to the fact that it had been made the basis of concrover- sy, the Tribune prints it just as the correspondent sent it, without exercis- ing editorial judgement on the text. The message follows:
 Paris, January - Among the many sensational rumors habitually afloat in the chamber of deputies, there has been one to the effect that President Wilson has threatened to withdraw American troops from Flu ; rope if certain of his ideas are not followed by the peace conference How far these things have gone in the three conefrences already hcld it is i'm. possible for me to say, but that the chambers report is pretty nearly cor rect there is no doubt.
 "'There are numerous indications of this recent attiture on Wilson's part and that he is not tacitly, but definite ]y, if not actually threatening other commissioners. He has come here to make a certain kind of peace and in- tends to do so, his supporters say. "'And his supporters have frankly said that he will refuse. to sign any peace not in accord with what he con- siJers fair and equitable interpreta- ton of the armistice agreement which excepted his IA points with reserva- tions as to the freedom of the seas. "'Now his supporters said, some of the allies are unwilling to abide by the armistice terms and will seek at each renewal to go beyond the armis- tice terms and impose further penal ties on the Germans, who accepted the armistice in good faith.
 "'Mr. Wilson's supporters fee furthermore that some of the allies .ot including Great Britain-desire te
 prolong the armistice in order tc penalize Germany to the utmost ex tent concluding peace with her.
 "There is nothing on the face of the message to show when it was filed by the Tribune correspondent in Paris i but there is evidence to show that il was not held longer than forty minu tes by the cable company on this side Therefore, the delay was in Pari which indicates that there is still il existence an effective press censorship This was known in every newspape1 office, because correspondents hat been complaining about it, but no on'
 had made a point of publishing thu fact.
 EIt will be noticed that the Tribun'
 cor1 respondent does not, make of hi
 own authority the statement whicl
 the President, according to Premie
 Clemenceau, characterized as an lab
 ominable falsehood.' He merely as
 serts that there was such rumo
 afloat in the chamber of deputies"

HOPE TO RAISE IRISH
 QUESTION AT CONGRESS
Government Preparing to Issue Proc ]amation for Suppression of Sinn Feiners.

Dublin, Jan. 17.-(By The Asso, ciated Press.)-The government, it is reported here, is about to isuse a uroclamation tightening the laws against the Sim Feiners. Some Feiners were dangerous. This was the necessary preliminary step to the suppression of the organization, but no subsequent step has yet been taken.
 Once proclamation suppressing the Sim Fein is issued it becomes crime to belong to the organization and the government can prosecute any mem Der and send him to jail.
 The Sim Fein intends to summon its own parliament and has already held two preliminary meetings. It treats the last election as an act of self-determination and looks upon all persons elected, regardless of. party, as members of the Irish Assembly Accordingly, they have issued invita- tions to their own members as well as the Carsonites and Nationalists, but no one of the other party mem- bers is taking any notice of it.
 Thirty four of the Sim Feiners el- ected are in Imprisonment. in Eng land and Ireland while Patrick McCor- ten, Liam Mellowes and Diarmuid Lynch are in the United States. This situation has delayed the calling of the National Assembly.
 The Sim Feiners intend, if the Ma tional Assembly meets, to nominate Professor DeValera, Arthur Griffiths and Count Plunkett as delegates to E the peace conference. They will claim representation as if'' Ireland were separate state like Belgium or Ser bia. They do not expect that thei, claim will be granted but are doing all they can to get President Wilson to raise the Irish question.
 The Sim Feiners are not the only people who look to President Wilson for aid. Another group is a section of moderate opinion under Captain Gwynne, a former member of parlia- ment, who has ascheme for home rule along Federal lines. This plan in- wolves parliament for all affairs, other than imperial, common to Ire land and three or four provincial par llaments with full power, including taxation, over their own local busi- ness.
 This scheme would give Ulster pro- lection without putting it in a pri- vlleged position.
 It is believed that Ireland would &C., ccept this or similar plan if it came rom neutral tribunal instead of from the British parliament. If President Wilson should become in ,terested in such plan, it is argued oy It's supporters, the government would be relieved of difficulty and the President would get credit from irish Americans for finding a way out of critical situation They de clare that the Sim Feiners, although they probably will still protest aganst link with England, would e,lther have to accept the plan or be aeSerted by their supporters.
 II some such settlement is not reached, it is believed there will be Ine G usual disorder and imprisonments ireland, some hold, probably will re ply to imprisonment by more disor uefs: There is said to be much am munltlon and explosives in the hands Of wilder spirits.
 Meanwhile there is comparative gam Tn Ireland. The leading Sinr ttelhers in their speeches ask fol 'lihe to carry out their policies.
