Republicans Suggests President be
Asked to Proclaim Wars End :,
President Wilson has sent word
to the House Democrats to kill the
resolution declaring peace between
the United States and Germany.
which Republican House leaders
hope to force through the lower
branch Of Congress this week.
The view of the President was OBJ
tanned by the Democratic members
of the House foreign affairs COM
mttee. These members are under
stood to have asked the State De-
partment for an opinion OF the eff
fectiveness of resolution such as Is
being planned by the Republican
leaders. (.
The reply was that the resolution
lwoult not be acceptable to the
President and that he desired the
members Of his party in Congress to
use every effort to defeat it. The
result may be that the passage Of
the peace resolution will be delayed,
but its passage is certain.
Representative Henry D. Flood
(Va), ranking Democrat on the
House foreign affairs committee,
Yesterday informed Republican Lead
er Mondell Of the informal message
that the Democrats had received
from the President and declared
that ne believed majority Of the
Democrats would vote against the
resolution which makes it doubtful
if the measure could be passed over
Il Presidential veto.

CHANGES IN CAPITAL CITY
ington Today and As 1t Was
Century or So Ago.

Visitors in Washington, this winter,
will appreciate some of the contrasts
between the city Of today and the cap
ital of the United States Of a CEN
fury or more ago, as described in the
recent biography Of one of the early
justices of the supreme court. In
those days, it appears, the White
House was surrounded by rough rail
fence, characterized by contempt
rary as mot fit for barnyard," while
Pennsylvania avenue was merely a
stretch Of "yellow tenacious mud"
bordered on either side by tree
stumps. There were no hotels then.
Washington lived in boarding houses.
But 1t was possible to sit at the table
with Thomas Jefferson and John Mar
shall, all for fifteen dollars week,
including service, wood, candles, and
liquors." Now we have the city spa
cious and beautiful, with our choice Of
comfortable hostelries, il not Of
prices. And lol 1t is all "bone dry

Crave Our Gift Of Anecdote.

Some time ago 1t was less unusual
than 1t Is now for one person to alb
sorb the conversation with pleasure to
himself and others. Anecdote is out OF
fashion here Tin England), but appar'
emily 1t remains popular in America
Very often lately we have heard the
conversation of prominent Americans
from the president downward, admired
for the color and richness lent to it by
witty anecdote and analogy. Perhaps
they will revive the fashion in the old
country.
Humorous anecdote has double
value. A nearer In one place quail

another. Also there is no doubt that
each man in n company united by
laughter laughs more heartily thar

NOBODY WANTS
A BABY.
BY OLIVE R. BARTON

When Philip McChesney parked his
ear as usual in front Of the building In
which he had his bachelor apartment,
and stepped from the marble-lined cor.
ridor into the passenger elevator, he
had no reason to believe that the long
lane Of his life had come to the pro-
verbal turn.
He was getting very tired of the
lane. AS he slipped his key into his
door 1t occurred to him he was doing
pretty much the same thing he had
been doing every afternoon for many
years and was likely to do for many
more.
My. how tired he was Of the routine
How sick he was Of everything! How
different 1t would have been If Made
ieine had consented to marry him
He was devoted to Madeleine-pretty,
willful and altogether selfish Made
leine.
But what was the use of even think
ing7 She never would have him.
She had told him so hundred
times.
You see, Phil, we are too much
alike to be running Mates" she said.

want 1t In our own way; neither Of
us would be willing to give in to the

my life. Neither did you, now, did
you! All you've ever done was to
make money. I'd like to think Of my
husband as somebody unusual. It's
so ordinary to be just rich"
Philips thoughts were getting too
unpleasant for further retrospection
But he knew Madeleine was right.
He was only good to make money, and
everyone was doing that now.

Philip locked around curiously. But
there was no response. No one seemed
to have the number. Every one looked
at his neighbor. necks were craned all
over the house. But no one stirred.
II thought So" said everybody. "No-
body wants a babyi"
IL thought So" said Philip with the
rest. mo one wants a baby"
His indignation began right here to
boil. 1t impelled him at last to get
up and start down the aisle. He
gained the stage by enormous strides.
IF no one wants the baby. I'll take
It," he said. ITS an outrage, the
whole affair. But II the baby Is an
orphan and has no home I'll see that
1t gets one. TN take 1t home and
raise it myself"
There was tremendous applause
then. Although 1t seemed no one want
ed the baby. the crowd was glad enough
for some one else to play angel.
The manager smiled down into Phil
ip's earnest, indignant eyes.
'Very good, young man. If you
really mean what you say, suppose
you call at the st. Stephen Children's
Home tomorrow, here's the address,
and Baby Marie will be handed over
to you if the board of trustees are sat-
isfied you are responsible person.
They tried to find homes for q dozen
little tots this week but weren't hav-
ing very good luck"
"Then 1t isn't just a raffie?" asked
Philip, relieved.
"Not exactly! Don't want to
hedge, do you"
Certainly not! I'll get the child
tomorrow. And Philip turned and
walked out.
A light hand fell on his arm, and
he turned.
Madeleine! What are you doing
here7 Are you alone?"
"Yes. Oh, Philip, I saw the no
tice about the baby and just had to
come, too, II sounded so awful And
want to tell you how perfectly splen-
did you were. Do you really mean it7
Are you going to get that babyT'
Certainly. l said I would"
"And take 1t homer"
"Yes."
"And bring it up?"
"By the grace of God yes. It
would be one thing I might be useful
for, besides making money" little
bitterly.
"But you'll have to have a nurse"
1.-TWO, perhaps"
"And it will be very expensive, and
and inconvenient," she reminded
him."
"Well?"
"Oh, Philip, let me take the baby.
l was just going up anyway when I
saw you. And I'm a woman"
"You take ~
"Yes. Why not?"
"You said you were selfish and use
less"
"You said you were, toow
"And you wouldn't marry me for
that reason. The reason doesn't seem
to exist now" eagerly.
She had no reply to this. Sh0
looked away quickly, but her eyes were
very soft.
"You haven't that excuse now, dear.
I wonder if" A new thought had
struck him. "Why can't we give the
baby a home together, dear? What
do you say?"
"All right" she half whispered. But
he heard.
