according to the valuation given the
police by Mr.. pease.
The Pease residence is a four-story
and basement brownstone, with high
saoep and basement entrances. After

an automobile trip. The butler and
one maid were left in the house, with

Mrs. Pease observed that the basement
window blinds had been drawn and the
front door at the top of the tall stoop
was found unlocked. 1t bore the marks
of jimmy.
Entering the house, Mrs. Pease found
that every bureau, wardrobe, chest and
closet had been ransacked during her
absence. Bureau drawers We're scat

tents had been tossed in every direc-
ton. Two suitcases were missing and
these were apparently used by the

Hanotaux Denies France
Sought Peace i'm 1914

PARIS, April 81 (By iD.-Gabrtel
Hanotaux, formerly French Minister
for Foreign Affairs, has emphatically
denied the statement by Count Won
BernstorF, who was German Ambassa-
dor to the United States, that M. Hano-
taux had said that France was ready to
make peace with Germany in Septem-
Der, 1914, but was prevented from doing
SO by intervention of England.
The Won Bernstorff statement was
published in Berlin newspaper and
republished in the United States.
Taking cognizance of it, M. Hanotaux
has sent to the Associated Press CORE
spondent the following signed state.
ment:
81 ask you to deny as emphatically as
possible the allegation of Count Won
Bernstorf to the effect that NJ Hano-
taux had declared that 'in September,
1914, France was ready to make peace
with Germany, but was prevented by
the intervention of England
~ challenge Count Won Bernstorff to
bring the slightest proof in support of
his allegation. What! the France of
the victory of the Marine September,
1910, ready to make peace! What an
absurdityi 1t is a falsehood.
American public opinion will recog-
nize once more the propaganda of the
German imperialists, who, after as be-
fore the war, are working to render
their country odious to the universe
1t is always the same story Of the air
planes over Nuremberg falsehood first,
denial later, and finally oblivion"

Must Defend Principles
t'Our position and influence in world
affairs are not measured by our wealth
and population, nor yet by our free and
liberal form of government, but by our
purpose to maintain the high principles
of justice and humanity upon which
our institutions are founded" said
General Pershing. 1.-THE fulfllment Of
this purpose in turn depends upon the
solidity Of the government and our
readiness to defend it's integrity"
"0ur success in the war was not due
to forethought in preparedness but to
exceptional circumstances, which made
it possible to prepare after the war
had been declared. 1t is my belief
that if America had been adequately
prepared our rights would never have
been violated, nor our safety threat
ened.
I'm discussing preparedness It should
be remembered that our traditions are
opposed to the maintenance of large
standing army. Our wars have prac-
tically all been fought by citizen sol-
diery. But we have persistently failed
to train our citizen soldiers In time
of peace and waited until war WAS upon
as before making any move to that
end.

RotQry's President

IN Thursday last at it's weekly luncheon,
at Hotel McAlpin, the, Rotary Club of
New York installed Raymond J. Knoeppel
as president, for a second term His re-
election was but feeble expression Of the
affection with which New York Rotarians regard z
this man who presided them so capabIy, so
wisely and SO peasingy, for the past year. There
is not dissenting voice when his praise is sounded.
In club of nearly FIVE hundred menbers-all
business executives--this really amounts to a silent
eulogy.
A lawyer held in high personal and profess
sonal esteem Mr.. Knoeppel has endeared himself
to his associates by finding time, even when he is
busiest, to work faithfully toward furthering the
Rotary motto "He profits most who serves best"
Those who him seated between the Mayor
of the City and the Governor of the State reviewing
stand at the Boys Parade did that in great
measure the tremendous showing of youngsersbuddng
America in truthwas due Rotarys efforts guided by
Mr. Knoeppel This is but OF many activities for
community and national betterment
The Rotary Club takes pride in presenting their
president man of such admirable character.

GOODS SPEND
NIGHT IN JAIL

Two goods from the University OF
Wisconsin occupied cell in the Sank
county bastile in this city Saturday
night and were put under lock and
key by Sheriff H. G. Neitzel. The
Madison girls placed in the coop
upon their own request, experienced
quite thrill sleeping in cell much
as if they were prisoners of the law
The only favoritism that was shown
the self appointed inmates was some
fresh bedding on the cots. The girls
stated they would not take any pill
lows as they wished the same treat
ment given regular inmates. One of
the goods said she never used pill
low anyway.
The girls were much interested in
seeing just how securely they were
locked in for the night and watched
the sheriff with much interest when he
turned the cell keys. Both girls oc-
cupied one cell where two cots were
placed.
Sunday Sheriff Neitzel took the
one night prisoners to Devils lake
where they climbed the bluffs and re-
turned to Madison Sunday afternoon.
The young ladies did not register
at the county hotel as they did not
desire to see their names in print in
the local papers.
