George Sees No Negotiated Peace.
Senator George likewise declared
today he saw no hope that me

this time, as suggested recently by
Senators Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana; Vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, and Tydings, Demo-
crat, of Maryland.
Senator Wheeler, however, re-
ported he had received more than
1000 kilograms since his radio ad-
dress Monday urging that the United
States seek an immediate end OF
the conflict. He said SO per cent OF
the messages favored his proposal.
The response. he added, was the
greatest evoked by any speech he
had made in more than II years as
Senator.
Mr.. Roosevelt, holding his last
press conference of 1910 yesterday,
said that his lease lend program of
supplying Britain with war supplies
might be put into effect as soon as
Congress enacts the necessary legis-
lation.
The Chief Executive told reporters
the proposed legislation would re-

He said in response to a question
that tin and rubber might be accept
ed in repayment for guns or Other
military materials, but that it was
silly to say this country might take
some British possessions in this
hemisphere in the swapping.
Mr.. Roosevelt avoided comment
on many questions bearing on the
defense program and his Sunday
night address to the Nation.
Reminded that some Senators be-
lieved it significant that he did not
mention the Navy when he said nc

be sent abroad, he replied that he

Berlin Ushers In
New Year Quietly

BERLIN, Jan. P).-Germans
generally welcomed the new year at
their homes listening to a midnight
broadcast of the bells of Cologne
Cathedral.
The rule was that since soldiers
had to stand guard the homefolks
should be moderate in celebrations.
Most Berlin amusement centers
closed at II o'clock last night
A custom of shooting fireworks
and burning pinwheels and sparklers
from balconies was eliminated under

Standardized Footwear
Unpopular in Italy

People of Italy are not taking
kindly TO the standardized low
cost footwear developed by the
Italian shoe manufacturers at the
request of the government.
About 100000 pairs were made
and local dealers were forced to
stock all sizes for men and women.
Even the poorer classes spurned
them in favor of more attractive
shoes costing more. Rome author
tiles insist that manufacturers con-
tinue making the footwear.

Radio Stations Quit
Using ASCAP Tunes
Three Major Networks
Fail to Renew Contracts
With New Year

Four of Washington's five radio
stations were barred today from
broadcasting any of the 100000
musical numbers controlled by the
American Society of Composers,
Authors and Publishers.
The three major networks-Na-
tional Broadcasting Co., Columbia
Broadcasting System and the Mutual
Broadcasting System-and the ma
jority of the individual stations in
the country failed to renew contracts
with A. S. c. A. P. which expired
with arrival of the new year.
AS a result most of the music
heard over the Nations radios pend

compensation to A. S. c. A. P. will

The local stations affected are

continuing to use A. S. c. A. P. music,

Change Prepared For.
Spokesman for the broadcasters
without A. S. c. A. p contracts said
they expected little difficulty in get
ting along without the music con-
trolled by the society. They said
they had prepared for the change
gradually.
Most of the stations have been
gradually cutting down on the use of
A. S. c. A. P. music for the last
several weeks, using more and more
of the old-time tunes and those con-
trolled by Broadcast Music, Inc, it
ives explained
A National Broadcasting Co. Off
cial said that, as result many
listeners would not know that any
change had occurred today. The
stations are not mentioning the dis
pute over the air.
officials of Broadcast Music, Inc.
said the chains and total of CAT
stations throughout the country had
signed contracts to play B. M. I.
tunes during the new year.
Some Sign With A. S. C. A. p.
John G. Paine, general manager
of A. S. C. A. P, said 127 stations
in 40 States had signed contracts
and would continue using A. S. C. A.
P. music. Some individual stations
announced they had signed con-
tracts with both organizations.
Neville Miller, president of the
National Association of Broadcasters,
published an open letter" to COM
poser members of A. S. c. A. P. in
/ which he said that the Nation S
broadcasters would be willing to
negotiate a contract with A. S. c.
A. P. whenever N. A. B was informed
that A. S. C. A. P.'s Board of Direc-
tors has officially approved the
principle of per program compen-
sation."
The basis of the row between the
composers organization and the
broadcasters has been A. S. c. A. P's
demand for a contract calling for
compensation based on percentage
of the gross revenue from the use OF
radio broadcasting facilities.
The broadcasters have claimed
such a contract would cost them an
estimated 50 100000 a year and de-
clared that they should not be re-
uuired to share with A. S. c. A. P
any revenue from broadcasts which
do not employ A. S. c. A. P.'s music

Uniforms Add SOmber Touch.
Soldiers and sailors in uniform
added a somber touch-the first
such angle observed in New Year
celebration since the World War,
but they, too, joined in the light
hearted, happy-golucky spirit of
the occasion.
Most of the city's 100000 souls

Most Of the celebrating, though

Behind blackout curtains and
double doors, night clubs were jam
