The Pre-EminenCe of
The PianOla Piano

Do you know the difference be.
tween a Pianola Piano and a Player
Piano? The Pianola Piano cannot be
played mechanically, and the cost of
the Pianola Piano is no more than the
ordinary piano.
The fact that the Pianola is incor-
porated in the Steinway, Steck, Whee-
lock, Stroud, Aeolian and the famous
Weber Piano is in itself testimonial
of the highest merit.

Il heartily endorse the campaign
Of the missionary centenary COM

church in seeking funds for mis-
sionary work and for war emerg-
ency needs and reconstruction work
at home and abroad.
The Methodist Episcopal church
never showed a greater vitality than
in the manner in which it met the
demands of the war. II saw at once
the spiritual significance of the
worldwide conflict. and it threw it
self heartily into the great cause.
II was a powerful factor in sus-
taining the morale of our soldiers
abroad. and our citizenship at
home. 1t was in very truth, during
al those crucial mon his. a church
militant And now, with equal
ZEAL. it faces the problems OF re-
instruction. Wherever it shall
penetrate, humanity will be the bet
ter for it,,

country may respond. and respond
generously. to the appeal OF the
missionary centenary committee for
funds TO carry on its great work.

Two Women Sit With
COP. National Body
in Chicago Meeting

Chicago, Jan. 1O.-Two women
occupied seats in the Republican
nationa! committee at its meeting
here today for the first time in the
history of the Organization. They
were admitted on proxies and en-
joyed all rights of regular mem
bers Ghe action is taken to mean
that in the future women will be
urged to take an active part in
every branch of national Republi-
can politics.
They were Mrs. Josephine Corliss
Preston OF Washington, holding
proxy of s \. Perkins, national
committeeman from that state, and
Miss Mary Garrett Hay Of New
York. who held the proxy of Her
bert Parsons, national committee
man from the Empire state.
The committee began its 'all-day
love feast with an executive bus -
ness session. Every state was rep
resented either by the national COM
mitteeman or proxy.
Chairman Will II. Hayes review
ed in detail his activities during his
first year in office and analyZed the
Republican victory at the congress
sional elections last November.
New members of the committee
were elected to fill vacancies in
several states as follows:
Maine-A. ]. Sweet.
New Jarsey-H. F. Kern.
Virginia-C. B. Stamp.
Wyoming Sullivan.
The committee adopted resolu-
tons on the death of Colonel TheO-
dore Roosevelt.
Addresses were made by Cover
nor Beeckman of Rhode Island, Mrs.
MedilI Mccormick, aud Chairman
Hayes and others.
Chairman Hayes and other mem
bers of the committee discouraged
every attempt to boom candidates
for president. They took the posi-
ticn that the party leaders should
wat a year before seriously dis
cussing the qualifications of the
many men named by their friends
fer the presidential nomination.
The indications are that there will
be a score of active cand' dates
when the party leaders decide the
proper time has arrived to consider
individual candidates. Apparently
every eastern and middle west state
has at least one favorite son candi-
date for the homer. In the matter
of campaign issues, the comm tee
men in formal discussion seemed to
favor the adoption by the party at
the proper time of strong declara-
tion against socialistic policies, in
cluding the federal ownership and
operation of the railroads and 9TH
er public utilities.

CALL TROOPS

AIRES RIOTS
General Strike Declared
in Argentine-Report
200 Casualties.
BHenOs Aires. Jan. 10.-i
general strike was declared
throughout the Argentine repu-
lie at midnight last night.
Reports show that there have
been more than 200 casualties
as q result OF the disorders.

1t is learned two regiments at
Camp Mayo, the headquarters of
the Buenos Aires district. refused
to come to the city to do strike
duty. At an early hour last night,
however, the government had as
sembled several thousand troops,
comprising army and navy contin-
gents. 4 heavy guard was placed
around the government palace and
a threatening mob in the vicinity
was dispersed in the early evening.
Serious disorders followed the
funeral yesterday of the five per
sons killed in Tuesdays disturb
ances. After the burial of the vic
Tins, the crowd of a thousand or
more strikers which had formed
the procession, burned a passenger
train on the Pacific railway. which
runs near the cemetery. and then
tore up the track, paralyzing traf-
fic on the trans-Andian line.
Burn Catholic Church.
They later burned a Catholic
church and the girls school ad-
joining. throwing images and plan
os into the street and leaving the
400 girl pupils of the institution
without dormitories. The mob then
burned a fire department automo-
bile carrying firemen to the scene
of the disturbances.
The district police institution at
the Vasena Iron foundry was cap
tured by armed strikers, but it was
asserted at police headquarters at
midnight, that the station had been
recaptured.
At one o'clock this morning a
thunderstorm and a heavy rainfall
cleared the city's streets of idlers.
Those in close touch with the sit
uation, believed that the respite
was only a temporary one.
Early this morning there already
were indications of shortage in the
flour and food supplies. and other
commodities. especially ice. The
temperature of the last three days
has been nearly 100 degrees in the
shade. adding to the suffering of
the public.

BRITISH PLAN
To TRY KAISER
Consider Former Emperor ReSpOn-
SibIe for Violations of the
Laws of War.

London. Jan. 9-Proceedings
against the former German emper-
or are advised in a special report
by a subcommittee of the commis-
sion charged with inquiring into
violations of the laws of war ap-
pointed two months ago. Plans for
a tribunal which will try cases in
which violations of the laws of war
We're alleged, have already been
submitted.
One of the most difficult phases
of the war has been the inquiry in
to ill-treatment of prisoners, the
employment behind the firing
lines. Illegal methods of warfare,
misuse of the Red Cross flag. bonn
bardments of hospitals and the eN-
ecution of Miss Edith Cavel. The
subcommittee having this work in
charge has already examined about
100000 cases of iil-treatment Of
prisoners and has about 100000
more to investigate. The sub-com-
mittee has already submitted an
interim report on the employment
of prisoners behind the firing lines
and in German mines and quarries.
Offenses at sea are being dealt
with by a third committee and a
fourth committee has been dealing
with offenses from the air.
All the subcommittee still have
large masses of evidence to exam
inc before final/reports are issued
dealing with charges to be prefer
red, and the degree OF responsible
ity attaching to individuals. Al
though final conclusions may not
therefore be reported in majority
of the cases for some months. it is
said il is not to be assumed that
particular steps have not been Ia
ken to secure and arrest offenders.
