Brandeis Hearings Are Attracting Great Notice
GERMAN TERMS OFFERED
THROUGH PAPAL NUNCIO
" " «
ROME, Feb. 9.—Belgium has
spurned the terms of peace offered
to it through the Papal nuncio Tac
ciporcelll.
The story of these negotiations
which much to the chagrin of His
Holiness Pope Benedict have leaked
out through the Vatican officials,
begins with the visit of von Buelow
to Switzerland where lie met Tacci
porcelli sent there by. the Pope at
the express invitation of the Kaiser.
At that time it was hoped that a
larger peace offering possibly ending
the war would be outlined. Tacc:
porcelll was reluctant to consider
peace only with relation to one
power and that Belgium.. He re
turned to the Vatican to consult the
pope. On his trip south the Italian
government, it Is said, searched his
baggage but found nothing. Bene
dict directed his envoy to do what
ho could and Buelow outlined his
plans which were to restore King
Albert to the throne of Belgium, to
waive a financial indemnity but in
lieu thereof certain extensive Ger
man privileges were demanded, and
these would mean that Antwerp
would become a German center for
traffic and shipment. Tho story is
! told in the Glornale D’ltalia today
with documents and statements
which preclude the possibility of
forgery or falsehood.
The paper admits that an effort
was 'made by papal circles to pre
vent the publication of the abor
tive peace efforts at this time.

HUGHES TO REMAIN AS
FEARS ANOTHER RRANDEIS
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 9.—
Close friends of Hughes declare
that he will not attempt to leave
the supreme bench to run for the
presidency because he fears If ho
does “another Brandeis might re
ceive the appointment”.
This Is Just now the situation that
the appointment of Brandela is
viewed with distaste by every asso
ciate Justice on the bench who re
gard the outspoken radicalism of
their newly appointed colleague as
wholly out of placo in the United
States Supreme Court.
Hughes Is not the only justice
who has voiced to friends his dis
like of the Brandels appointment;
the papers are quoting the vlows
of other members of the Supreme
bench to the effect that they cannot
help but regard the appointment of
Brandels except with some repugn
ance.
It is now stated in one paper taht
the members of tho t'upreme Court
had received “inside” information
that was all wrong to the effect
that Tatt would obtain the appoint
ment, and those members who
owed their position to the former
president and the Chief Justice who

KING GEORGE VERY SICK;
CANT OPEN PARLIAMENT
LONDON, Feb. 9.—King Georg's
is seriously ’'111 and It Is officially
stated that he will be unable to
open parliament in person on Tues
day next.
LONDON) Feb. 9.—Tomorrow
drafting of single men will begin In
the various registration districts a)
required by law. So far there is
■til! not a sign of any antagonistic
action on the part of any Interests,
although this may hot manifest it
seif until the arrival of the day and
the action of the authorities.
LONDON. Feb. 9.—It Is possible
that Lord Kitchener may be sent to
command In Flanders Instead of Sir
Douglas Haig. This report is found
in the Morning Post this morning.
LONDON, Feb. The reports
continue as to the Oerman naval
activities and they receive some cre
dence. The Times,* usually reliable
and usually very pessimistic, says
that it is unlikely that the navy yrlll
leave Kiel until the tlHM comes tor
the,, Germans to make their great
spring upon Palate. This Is being
slowly prepared tor. They appa*
rently have gathered In Flanders
the greatest army that has ever
fought In any section at qne time
in the east or west. The first sign
of the British and French falling
back in defeat will probably be the
signal for the German capital ships
to endeavor to break through.

WASHINGTON, D. C„ Feb. 9.—
If the Appam case Is to be the sub
ject of negotiations so far none have
reached the Department of State.
The alleged British note on the sub
ject has not materialized so far,
and it may be that it is intended to
let the matter drop. The Appam is
now interned with the German prize
crew also onjoying Uncle Sam’s
hospitality.
It is still very peculiar that no
actual details of the capture have
jbeen given out by either cide.
