SOLONS SAY WHAT
THEY THINK OF IT
WASHINGTON, D. C., Doc. 13.—
Senator Tillman disseminated his
▼lows today on the preparedness
question and incidentally paid his
compliments to some well known
public men.
He says that he favors national
preparedness and anyone io a fool
who declines to sec its necessity.
William Jennings Bryan was suffer
ing from a pacificist obsession
which was not founded upon reason.
Theodore Roosevelt was a madman
at the other extreme, for there was
no occasion for extremist views
one way or another.
Tillman upheld in detail Daniels'
administration of the Navy Depart
ment against past criticism. He
said that he favored a government
armament plant and denounced in
round terms the munition trust, the
meanest greediest and most con
scienceless trust that ever attained
any influence in any country.
Senator Chamberlain is introduc
ing a bill which provides for com
pulsory training between tho ages
of twelve and twenty-three.
Kenyon has a bill which would
positively prevent ships carrying
munitions from carrying passengers, |
opining that said munition ship?
are legitimate objects for operation
upon by submarine torpedoes.
By the way, Secretary Daniels re
port issued today among other
things emphasizes the need fot
dreadnaughts but leaves the num
ber wisely to the discretion of Con
gress.

LANE HAS BRAND
NEW PEACE PLANS
:
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Dec. 13.—
The first member of the Cabinet to
make any peace suggestion is Sec
retary Lane who acquires fame to
day by his suggestion for a congress
of neutral nations to suggest peace. |
Lane however goes further than |
this; he lays down the terms upon
which peace can be arranged. These
are freedom of Ihe seas, Jewish
equality, a referendum among tl.e
population of Alsace, Lorraine, Fin
land, Poland to discover under what
flag and how they would wish their
countries to be governed; gradual
disarmament and evacuation of all
conquered territory; liberation ol
all subject nations; international
arbitration on all questions with
commercial boycotts to enforce the
mandates of the Congress or Arbi
tration court.
Comment is witheld by the papers
owing to the late hour at which
Lane unfolded his wondorful peace
plan.

ANCONA NOTE REVEALS
STRONG POSITION TAKEN
WASHINGTON, D. C„ Dec. 13 —
The text of the Ancona sinking note
to Austria is now made public. It
is, as already reported, in all res
pects equivalent to an ultimatum
The note demands an unequivocal
disavowal of the sinking by Austria
Hungary, the punishment of the
submarine commander and full in
demnity for all Americans who lost
their lives.
The note is written in much more
stringent and forcible terms than
any that have hitherto been sent to
a belligerent since the war started
and gives , the impression that the
United States is losing patience with
the situation. The government will
take no action in the matter of the
possible recall of Acting Ambassa
dor Zwiedieuk pending the receipt
of the reply to the Ancona note.
BERLIN, Dec. 13.—There is un
disguised irritation and indignation
manifested in today’s German press
over the reception by belligerents
and neutrals of the German
peace statement, and particularly
the interpretation manifested by the
British that Germany wants peace
and is anxious for a compromise.
Tho papers say that Germany
and its allies are ready to fight to
a finish and have not the slightest
intention of endeavoring to conceal
tho anxiety to end a war is doing
none of the belligorcnts any good.
It is however far from Germany's
intention to adopt any attitude
other than a victor willing to con
cede much for peace sake.

LITTLE DOING EAST OR WEST
AND THAT’S CENSORED
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 13.—There
are continuous sm'all engagements
between the outposts of the belli
gerents east and west. But owing
to weather conditions there is little
doing and most of that is censored.
That Germany is preparing for an
attack in Flanders is judged by re
ports coming through Belgian sour
ces that they are concentrating men
and munitions there.

FOURTEEN HUNDRED
MOULDERS STRIKE
PITTSBURG, Dec. 13.—Fourteen
hundred moulders employed in mu
nition factories have gone on strike
here for eight hours a day.
The strike of the moulders came
unexpectedly as they had not inti
mated to the management their in
tention to walk out until they form
ulated their eight hour day demands
and walked out when refused.
It is stated that there is ever/
probability of the strike extending.
The management aB usual to di
vert sympathy from the moulders
claims that the strike has been
caused by agents of the Central
European Powers, when as every
working man knows conditions in
the Industry in this city have been
a crying scandal tor a number of
years: twelve hours a day and seven
days a week having been insisted
upon by the management in several
of the foundries, with immediate
discharge if any one discussed
unionism being the strict rule that
obtained.

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 12.—The

RAVENSDALE, Dec. 13.—Rather
than go to the expense of Installing
safety appliancos needed in the coal
mine here, the management will
close down and the mine will be
abandoned.
The management claims that the
margin of profits is too small to
stand the overhead expense of such
safety equipment as the coroner’s
jury advised should be in commis
sion in the mine.
It was reported here today that
the company is trying to dispose ot
its property. The coal is a high
grade coal enough, the scams are
small but gas and dust pervade the
mine according to tho miners, malt
ing it dangerous to work in.

VIENNA, Dec. 13.—Owing to the

of the empire, the women are dis

Staff is working out with the Kaiser
war plans for the coming year. Ger
many owing to the intractable at
titude of the Allies will now carry
on a deliberate and heavy offensive

COPENHAGEN, Dec. 13.—Accord
ing to general orders issued by tha
army staffs, no Christmas greetings
or truce will be permitted between
the belligerents on the west this
year. The order of one nation re
fers to the meeting of enemies be

and unsoldierly spectacle”.
