 "White SLOUe Trn171c

Geneva, Dec. IA startling picture of the sudden re-birth of the white slave'' traffic and the threatened in vasion of the United States and South America by thousands of immoral women is contained In a special re- port to the League of Nations Assem- bly, from Toma Jonneson, head of the Roumanian delegation, and brother of former Premier Jonneson of Rouma- nia.
 M. Jonneson was especially author ized by the League of Nations council to conduct an international investiga- ton of the white slave'' situation. He said he found that traffic in inn moral women had almost ceased dur ing the war on account of stringent passport regulations, but has been re- stunned since peace.

CANNOT AGREE
 ON A CANDIDATE

Failure of the police commissioners at their meeting last night to appoint a successor to Lieut.. Edward Wagner, Jr., who retired from the force on November 1, set the tongues of gossip wagging in police circles this morn ing. It is probable that no appoint ment will be made until the final meeting of the commissioners on De- cember 30, or at the first meeting of the new board of commissioners on January IS. There are a score of ap- p1cants for the position with the choice simmering down to three of the sergeants longest in the point of service. It is believed the commis- s1oners cannot agree on one candidate, each commissioner having a partic- ular choice in mind. The police com missioners are silent on the matter.

Message Almost
 Ready
President May Deliver His Recommendations to Con-
 gross In Person
(By' George R. Holmes, I. N. s.
 CorreSDondent.l

(By' George R. Holmes, I. N. s.
 Correspondent.)
 Washington, Dec. 1-President Wilson has nearly completed his forthcoming message to Congress. in all probability the last lengthy com munication he will make to that body. The message is practically in shape now, it was learned today, and will be sent to the printer shortly.
 As has been his custom with for mer important communications, the President has picked out the major part of his message on the dilapidated typewriter which has turned out so many history-making documents in the last four years.
 It was still undetermined today whether the President will attempt to deliver his message in person. White House officials asserted they did not know. It apparently depends a great deal on the President him self. His condition, it-was said, is so much improved that it will be pos sible for him to take the daise next Monday if he so desires although some of his closest confidents have advised against it
 They fear that the effort would prove too much for the President and that in attempting to appear person ally before the Assembly House and Senate, he would risk tearing down that reserve strength which has been carefully builded during many ted1- ous weeks of care and confinement.

The question arose in the court this morning whether or not a for feiture of bonds on the first offense meant a conviction and if the of fender who forfeited his bonds would be liable to a jail sentence on his second offense, counting, the forfeiture of his bonds on his first arraignment as conviction. Liquor Prosecutor A. J. Merritt said he had information was not conviction. Judge Bart lett said he thought that if an all legged violator forfeited his bonds on the first offense he could be made lfa- ble for a jail sentence on the second offense and the first Case could be reopened.

It was pointed out that stores of arms and ammunition had been ' accumulated in Ireland for nearly six years through raids. seizures and emuggling. Much of this accumula- tivities of Sim Feiners and the au- thorities believe that the present in- crease in Sim Fein raids was chiefly to reinforce the arsenals. Many or the arms captured from Sim Fe1ners were antiquated weapons.
 The main object of the British naval patrol is to prevent gun run ming and the flibustering of muni- lions. In view or the Steadily lu- creasing arsenals of the Sim Feiners, government officials are becoming convinced that arms and ammunition are being secured in the United States.
 It is believed that the war supplies are brought secretly from America to Scottish ports and reshipped on small coasting vessels which trade with the Donegal section.

CT am out of patience with these people who have been claiming that there was an enormous under-pro- duction and have now turned about and say there is great over-pro- duction. I am also out of patience with these manufa cturers who make so much talk about 'Americanization and lay out such programs of uplift work for their help and then the mo ment that there comes a Hull in blIsi- ness, or they think there. is going to be, kick them all out and hire green foreigners to take their places at less money, at wages that no man can live on.'
