We submit this letter to Independent

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Peace
with Germany through adoption of a
joint resolution declaring the war at
an end was put squarely before Con-
gress Wednesday by Republicans in
control Of the House.
Framed by Republican members
of the Foreign Affairs Committee
and backed by party leaders, the
measure was thrown into the hopper
with as little ceremony as if it had
been a bridge bill, but instantly there
developed a demand for speedy ac-
ton. A move to jam it through the
House on Friday took shape, but
Democrats, outspoken in their oppo-
sition, finally obtained an agreement
to postpone consideration until Mon
day.
While trying to work out a resolu-
ton calculated to suit all factions of
their party, Republican committee
men had arranged to call it up on
Friday. remembering that it was on
Good Friday three years ago that
war was declared.
Chairman Porter Of the Foreign AZ
fairs Committee provides for "ter-
mination of state of war;" as soon
as it becomes effective. It provides
also for reciprocal trading which
Germany under certain restrictions
and for repeal of the Presidents war
powers. Germany would be allowed
forty-five days ''to notify the Pres
ident that it has declared termination
of war" and waived all claims against
the United States shat it would not
have had the right to assert had the
United States ratified the treaty of
Versailles ,
Upon Cermany's failure to send
such notification, trading or the MAX
ing of loans or credits would be pro-
hibited, except with the license of
the President.

LEGS COME HIGH IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, April 5.-The high
cost of woman (one) now is as high
as 100000.
This figure, which is adjusted to
the high cost of living and every
thing, was set up to-day as the result
of legal decision placing the valu-
alton of $4,000 on one feminine leg,
the property of pretty girl.
The verdict was won in State Su-
preme Court by Miss Florence D.
Rooney, who suffered a permanent
fracture Of one neither, member in an
automobile accident.
The verdict is said to be a record
breaker. Taken in conjunction with
other verdicts the total valuation of
woman is fixed. Here are few pre-
vious awards:
Hair, $4,000; nose, $4,000;
eyes, $4,000; broken heart, $780,
600; arms $85,OOO and legs, $4,000.
