SHOULD REGISTER EARLY
Visitors to Methodist Centenary to Be
Well Cared For.

The one plea of H. B. Dickson, or
ganizing secretary Of the Methodist
Centenary to Methodists North,
South, East and West, is that visitors
register early. The registration fee
is IS for an individual, or $40 for a
family, including all members under
q. Registration covers admission to
the exposition grounds each day Of
the celebration at Columbus, June 20
to July 10, and it also secures the
services of the Methodist Celebration
housing committee.
There is no use mincing matters"
says Mr.. Dickson. Those who regis.
ter earliest will get the best services
and best accommodation. We are
trying to provide for an eleventh hour
rush, but it is never SO satisfactory
to work under those eonGtfioas a.
when people take matters Ia their
hands early enough TO sss goa n

NORTH GERMAN LLOYD LINER
 GRAF WALDERSEE IS AFiRE

New York, Dec. 14.-Fire has brok-. en out on the former North German Lloyd liner Graf Waldersee recently a United States army transport, and now anchored in the Hudson River, pending transfer to Great Britain Two army transports anchored nearby are endeavoring to render assistance.
 Residents at Spuyten Duyvil, oppo, site the anchorage of the Graf Wal dersee, reported that the big lint T was enveloped in smoke through which flames were leaping. Two fire boats and a police tug were rusaed to the assistance of the ship.
 The Graf Waldersee is a boat oe t3,000 tons and was ons of the feet of German merchantmen seized by the allies in German ports after the i S gning ofthe armis stice. She was al- lotted to the United States for use as a transport and was taken over by the American navy at Brest in March of
 this year.
 The liner arrived in New York in April and two months later was ram
 med by the steamer Redondo, 100 miles off Sandy Hook, while outward 1 bound for France. She was beacl!ed
 off Long Beach but was able to re-
 sume service as a transport d coupft of weeks later. She made her lost l trip with American troops last August i since which time she has been lysng ] in New York harbor awaiting %9 i expected allotment to Great Britain.

VILLA HOLDS AN AMERICAN
 RANCHMAN FOR RANSOM

Eagle Pass, Texas, Dec. 14.-Definite news from Fred G. Hugo, American manager of the J. M. Dobies ranch. near Muzquiz, Coahuila, held by Fran. cisco Villa for $1o.00o ransom. still was lacking today. Unofficial reports reaching the border, however, inci- cated that the American with several Mexican hostages probably was being detained in Elpino Mountains, about 100 miles from Muzquiz. Whether fed- eral troops had taken up the pursuit. of the Villistas could not be learned.
 Although previous reports said Vil- Ia and several hundred followers who occupied Muzquiz last Tuesday, had been busted from the town Friday and had fled in the direction of the state of Chihuahua. apparently reliable iu- formation today indicated that the rebels did not leave Muzquiz untl
 Saturday. It was stated that they ! headed in the direction of Elpino Mountains, leaving word that the money for Hugo's release was to be left at Pino Solo, in the Elpino Noun i tains. ] Villa did not molest the poorer per. sons in Muzquiz, confining his footing
 to the wealthier residents and the principal stores, according to today'a | adViceS. He> carried off a large supply
 of blankets, several automobiles. horses and wagons and great quanti-
 ties of food, it was said. Shortage of
 food and clothing among his forces is
 believed here to have been the princi.
 pal cause of the raid on Muzquiz.

EVERYONE WANTS THE BEST REGARDLESS OF WHAT IT, COSTS

Chicago, Dec. 14.-The surest way back to old fashioned price levels is to shop with the old fashioned market basket and occasionally, use "old fashioned corned beef and other pa latable but cheaper cuts"
 D. A. Cudahy, president of the Cudahy Packing Company. gave that advice to the buying public in his annual report to the stockholders of the concern which will be presented tomorrow.
 Government attempts to regulate the cost of living and insistence of the public on having the best re- behind present prices levels, Cudahy said:
 Discussing the first he said: If we had less arbitrary control and if we had such high prices of commodit' 'es as would have been the case under normal and uncontrolled conditions, I increased production, coupled with t5le enforced lessened consumption, would have followed more surely and the situation would have reached a per ]. manent normal level with less con- | fusion"
 On the subject of extravagant buy l ing he declared:
 There has been an abnormal de- mand this year for articlse of the highest price and quality. Every body has wanted the best and has l seemed to have the money to pay for 1 it. If there was a better demand for ' cheaper cuts it would have the most beneficial effect all around"

Washington. Dec. 14.-While relax ation of restrictions on the use of bi- luminous coal continued today, indi- eating governmental belief that the strike crisis in the industry has pass ed, congressional Investigation began to bear upon the active participants in the settlement. The appearance last night of pr. Harry A. Garfield, whose resignation as federal fuel admins trator was accepted yesterday by President Wilson. before the senate ub-committee Investigating the coal situation was followed today by in dications that Attorney General Pal mer and other high officials would be called on this week to explain why plans of Dr. Garfield were set aside and a compromise made with the miners union on a basis which the former fuel administrator described as contrary to fundamental principles ot government"
 | Acting President John L. Lewis of | the United Mine Workers of A:eerica who is attending the labor recon
 struction conference here, predicted today that by Monday night 95 per
 cent. of the miners would be back to
 work.

RECOMMENDS SALE OF ALL ;: :-
 GOVT OWNED WOODEN SHIPS

New York. Dec 14-Sale to private
 purchasers of all government owned
 wooden vessels and of steel vessels
 under 5000 deadweight tons is recon-
 mended by the Merchants Associa-
 tion of Nv York, in response to ref
 endum questionnaire received from the
 chamber of commerce of the United
 States. Expectation is provided for
 steel ships adapted to ocean going or
 coastwise traffic. since such vessels. in foreign hands might be prejudicial to steel ships of larger tonnage dedicated
 exclusively to American commerce. The association favors restrictions for a period of years. upon the trans fer to foreign flag of steel vessel oi
 more than 6.O00 tons purchased from the government. It believes that that should absorb as a war loss the differ
 ence between tn war cost of the ves- sells by the emergency fleet corporas tion and their present value. ~.r The Merchants association has also gone on record in favor of the estab= i hshment of ''foFe cn trading" ,ih American ports, as ,'> 'tcmplated in proposed federal in '.h imported commodities may be~s.o Il for re-ex- port without paying custu- duties.

FOOD FOR RELATIVES
 AND FRIENDS IN EUROPE

London, Dec. 14-Nationals of stricken European countries who re- side in the United States will soon be able to supply their relatives and friends with food at reasonable prices through q plan that has been evolved by. the American Relief Administra- tion. Under the same plan persons living in those countries and possess ing the necessary funds may pur- chase essential foods which in some countries are extremely difficult to ob- tain. The plan already has the in- dorsements of the governments at Vienna, Warsaw. Prague and Buda- pest, while the acquiescence of the German government is expected short ly, it is declared.
 The relief administration has organ 1 ized the American Relief Warehouse Corporation" which will undertake tc send at-the- outset about $5,000,00e worth of Soodstuffs to the five coun- ] tries mentioned. The government which will benefit by the plan have agreed to forego the imposition of inn port duties and to transport the SUD- plies from the docks where they are 1 delivered to warehouses which tht governments will provide. They hay, also agreed not -requisition the sup l plies under any contingency. Tn l foodstuffs will be sold on the dollar basis at figures which will net the corporation profit. All the profit will be used for extending the presen \ child relief activities of the admins | tration in the countries in which tn profits accrue.
 In detail the plan provides that ; person in the United States may go f
 the financial representatives of tn corporation and pay in any amour for the purchase of a food warrant fo Ia designated person abroad. By
 carefully guarded system the warrar
 will be delivered to such person, upo
 which the recipient will be entitled t
 the stipulated amount of food from tn
 foreign warehouse.
 The system is being put into effec
 largely to protect foreigners in tn
 United States whose money remit tances to central Europe are of littl or no benefit to the recipients as tn
 essential food cannot be purchased lc
 cally. while the food packages ser
 from America. it is declared, seldol
 reach their destination.

SOCIALISTS DEFEATED
 IN ITALIAN CHAMBER

Rome, Saturday, Dec. 13-(By The A. P.) The chamber of deputies to- night voted approval of the reply to the speech from the throne after re- jecting by vote of 2S9 to 124 an amendment offered by the socialists. providing for the immediate recogni- tion of the Russian soviet government and the resumption of relations with Russia.
 Premier Nitti summed up the debate on the reply in a speech of consider able length. He desired first, he said, to deny the report that the govern 1nent was about tS conclude new in |ternationaI agreements creating fresh responsibilities. The premier's refer ence was to a report that the meeting of Premiers Lloyd George and Cle- menceau and Foreign Minister Scia- loia in London had considered a mili- tary convention.
 "The statement that new tariff and customs duty will be applied by royal decree is also untrue" he contin- : ued. Answering different speakers who presented motions for the convocation of constituent assembly. Signor Nitti said.
 But we consider the parliament as a permanent constituent assembly The parliament is sovereign. It is free | to modify by enactment any article of | the constitution. What you now wish | is to change article V. which norri- nally gives the king the right to de- clare war. But do you really believe 1 that the last war was declared without the assent of the parliament?" | At this the socialists shouted: "Yes against the will. of parliament" There great confusion in ths chamber for = moments, after which Premier Nitti resumed his re- marks.
 "The law granting full powers to tn. cabinet" the premier went on, Iva! passed by the chamber on May P 1915. It was equivalent to declara
 tion of war"
 The entire socialist group shouted
 NO, no! The cabinet already hat
 concluded an alliance with the en
 tente."
 The premier begged for the suppor
 of all parties to help Italy out of he
 present difficulties. He explained sh
 must import one-third of the necessi ties of life, needing for instance 42, 100000 quintals of wheat annually o quantity equal to two-thirds. of tn entire production of Argentina.
 With regard to our relations wit Russia" said the premier. T am cer tain we shall soon resume commerce. relations with that country. but I ar , not certain that they will soon be ad . vantageous.
 The idea" he added, that the An
 glo- American bloc is interested in isc lating Russia in order to have mon ) opoly of raw materials is nonsense"

authority to rescind such orders given the regional railroad directors. lp-
 Although most of the power to res scind the various restrictions has been placed in the hands of the regional al. rectors. the railroad administration, is continuing to exercise a supervisory control over bituminous coal and coke. This has been made necessary not alone by the resignation of Fuel Administrator Garfield, but also by the resignations of Cyrus Guernsey, IT,, assistant to Dr. Garfield. and John A. Abort, chief engineer, both of whom cam back to Washington to serve with their chief when the fuel administra- ton was revived. These resignations have practically put an end to the reinstated activities of the adminis- | tration.
 1 Appointment by President Wilson of
 a commission to supercede the fuel ad-
 ministrator is expected this week. No intimations of the personnel have been ] given in official quarters, though the
 basis decided upon will make its com position include one mine worker, one coal mine operator, and a represen-

3 Steamers Aground in Vineyard Sound
Result of a Heavy Fog-Forty Mile Wind Causes Anxiety For Their Safety-AlI Coal Laden.

Vineyard, Mass, Dec. 14.-The ship ping board steamers North Wind, Lake Crystal and Fairfield were aground today as result of the heavy fog that hung over Vineyard sound late yesterday until this morning. A forty mile northerly wind which was increasing in force tonight, caused concern for the vessels. All are coal laden and are thought to be bound from Norfolk to Boston.

 The coast guard cutter Gresham was in the vicinity of the Lake Crys- l tai, which brought up about a mile away from the North Wind early to- ! day..
 The Fairfield stranded some time after midnight On stony bottom, but

 TO CONTINUE STRIKE

It was said there were only two dissenting votes, most of. the union leaders maintaining that victory in the controversy was in sight.
 Members of the strike committee commenting on the vote declared that the recent cancellation by the United States Steel Corporation of huge foreign contracts was one of the most favorable auguries of the event. ual success of the strike. It also was asserted that while many steel plants had resumed operation, production had been far below normal with the overhead charges of the company re- nfaining the same as during normal azadi,otiaa. s'

Germany Yields on
 Scapa Flow Issue
Reiterates Desire to Have Rati- fication of the Treaty Ef- fected at the Earliest Pos sible Moment.

Berlin Saturday. Dec. 13.-(By The A. P) In her note replying to the last entente communication demand ing the signing of the protocol prelim- mary to putting the peace treaty in effect, which is now on its way to Paris, GerNany yields in her stand on the Scapa Flow issue to a certain ex- tent.
 The text of the reply was handed on Friday night to a courier who at once started with it for the French capi- tal The text will not be published in Berlin before Monday.
 It is learned that in the note the Gerfan reiterates it's desire to have ratification of the peace treaty effect ed at the earliest possible date. It gently hints that the entente is re- sponsible for the complications which have delayed the exchange of ratifica- tions for more than a month. It de- clares that Germany has not and is not now making the final ratification dependent upon the clauses relating to war prisoners or the extradition of German subjects for trial. although | it expresses the hope that the allies will permit themselves to be convinced | that both issues have an important bearing upon the internal political sit uation in Germany.
 | On the Scapa Flow issue the note expresses a willingness to yield to the extent that Germany will consent tc
 make reparation for the sinking of the German warships, in order to remove
 what is characterized as the final ob-
 stacle to the definite conclusion ot peace, although, says the note. repara ton cannot be made in the manner
 suggested in the demand for 400,00 tons of shipping. On this point Ger. many proposes negotiations by the en tente with a board of German ship ping experts.
 The note declares that the pros. pectiye temporary absence of Atneri cans from the commissions establish ed under the treaty has not influences
 the attitude of official Germany to
 wards the question of final ratifca
