"Stub" Barrow Tells
Of Wedding Long Ago
Iowa City, la., Dec. 20. (Special.)
After keeping his wedding a 'secret
for eight months, "Stub" Barron, cap
tain of the Iowa foot ball team in
1915, coach of the freshman squad
this year and at present a student in
the university law school, has an
nounced his marriage on last April to

Bellevue college freshmen signalized
their entrance into
the mtcrciass
tournament yesterday evening by de
feating the sophomores in a fast game
by the score of 25 to 18. Close guard
ing on the part of Erwin and Gustaf
son for the sophomores and poor
shooting kept the sophomores in the
ead for most of the first period until
Captain Williams of the freshmen
shifted Daugherty from forward to
center and went to forward himself.
This left Daugherty freer and he re
sponded by shooting three basket? in
rapid succession and the period ended
with the teams tied, 11 all.
Daugherty made eight baskets in all
and did most of the scoring for the
freshmen the second half, lie made
sixteen points in all, two less than
enough to tie the sophs. Erwin and
Johns were almost the whole team for
the sophomores. Lineup:

to do so. '
"I say that one reason why we have
not gotten ahead faster with the mar
keting is because we have not edu
cated the business public to the fact
that it is equally as important to it as
it is to the producer himself."
Buying Power Goes to Waste.
Fred L. Palmer, Limon. Colo., spoke
of the necessity of national control
of Equity-Union centralized ex
changes, and the economic advantages
of such control.
President C. O. Drayton said: "Mr.
Palmer is right. We're letting a lot of
our buying power go to waste. If we
have fifty exchanges we should unite
our buying power. If we had 500
exchanges in the United States and
they had the buying power united, it
would be worth $500 to me alone next
spring on the machinery I will have
to buy. We want 500 exchanges and
those united, and we're going to get
them."
Director Edwin W. Reed. Haigler,
Neb., spoke on "Equity-Union Co
Operative Meat Packing Plants." He
said this is entirely practicable and
added that he would be ill , favor of
levying on every member of the
Equity-Union to help along this fight
against the present meat packing
companies.
Thousands of Members.
There are at the present time
for the opening. There arc at present
18,806 members of the organization
in the nation, according to the state
ment of Secretary George Denny of
Greenville, III. Of this number 5,674
joined during 1916, which fact is
cited by the delegates and the secre
tary to prove that the movement is
popular and is growing. Eighty new
local organizations were formed dur
ing the year.
President C. O. Drayton of Green
ville, III., in his opening address pre
dicted equity-union packing houses
flour mills, coa! and lumber mills, in
a few years, for he declared that the
success of the equity-union creameries
throughout the country would demon
strate the practicability of such move
ments. He cited particularly the
conspicuous success of these cream
eries at Orleans, Neb,, Aberdeen,
S. D., and Limon, Colo,

fering it until these overtures had
been answered but for the fact that it
also concerns the question of peace
and may best be considered in con
nection with other proposals which
have the same end in view, The
president can only beg that his sug
gestion be considered entirely on its
own merits and as if it had been made
in other circumstances."
Then all the notes proceed iden
tically, as follows:
"The president suggests that an
early occasion be sought to call out
from all the nations now at war such
an avowal of their respective views
as to the terms upon which the war
might be concluded and the arrange
ments which would be deeded satis
factory as a guaranty against its re
newal or the kindling of any similar
conflict in the future as would make
it possible frankly to compare them.
- Indifferent to Means.
"He is indifferent as to the means
taken to accomplish. He would be
happy himself to be of service or
even to take the initiative in its ac
complishment in any way that might
prove acceptable, but he has no de
sire to determine the method or the
instrumentality. One way will be as
acceptable to him as another if only
the great object he has in mind be
attained.
"He takes the liberty of calling at
tention to the fact that the objects
which the statesmen of the belliger
ents on both sides have in mind in
this war are virtually the same as
stated in general terms to their own
people and to the world. Each side
desires to make the rights and privi
leges of weak people and small states
as secure against aggression or de
nial in the fnture as the rights and
privileges of great and powerful states
now al war
"Each wishes itself to be made se
cure in the future, along with all
other nations and peoples, against the
recurrence of wars like this and
against aggression of selfish interfer
ence of any kind. Each would be
jealous of the formation of any more
rival leagues to preserve an uncer
tain balance of power amidst multi
plying suspicions; but each is ready
to consider the formation of a league
of nations to insure peace and justice
throughout the world. Before that
final step can be taken, however, each
deems it necessary first to settle the
issues of the present war upon terms
which will certainly safeguard the in
dependence, the territorial integrity
and the political and commercial
freedom of the nations involved.
United States Vitally Interested.
"In the measures to be taken to
secure the future peace of the world
the people and government of the
United States are as vitally and di
rectly interested as the governments
now at war. Their interest, more
over, in the means to be adopted to
relieve the smaller and weaker oeo
pies of the world of the peril of wrong
and violence is as quick and ardent
as that of any other people or gov
ernment. They stand ready, and even
eager, to co-operate in tne accom
plishment of these ends when the war
is over, with every influence and re
source at their command.
"But the war must first be con
eluded. The terms upon which it is
to be concluded they are not at lib

erty to suggest, but the president
does feel that it is his right and his
duty to point out their intimate in
terests in its conclusions, lest it
should presently be too late to accom
plish the greater things which lie be
yond its conclusion, lest the situation
of neutral nations, now exceedingly
hard to endure, be rendered altogether
intolerable, and lest, more than all, an
injury be done civilization itself
which can never be atoned for or re
paired. Justified in Suggesting Plan.
"The president, therefore, feels jus
tified in suggesting an immediate op
portunity for a comparison of views
as to the terms .which must precede
those ultimate arrangements for the
peace of the world which all desire
and in which the neutral nations as
well as those at war are ready to play
their full responsible part. If the con
test must continue to proceed to
wards undefined ends by slow attri
tion until the one group of belliger
ents or the other is exhausted, if
millions upon millions of human lives
must continue to be offered up until
on the one side or the other there are
no more to offer, if resentments must
be kindled that can never cool ana de
spairs engendered from which there
can be no recovery, hopes of peace
and of the willing concern of free peo
ples will be rendered vain and idle.
"The life of the entire world has
been nrofoundlv affected. Every part
of the great family of mankind has
felt the burden and terror ot this un
precedented contest of arms. No na
tion in the civilized world can be said
to stand outside of its inbuence or to
be safe against its disturbing effects,
And yet the concrete objects for
which it is being waged have never
been definitely stated.
Not Specifically Stated.
"The leaders of the several bellig
erents have, as has been 'said, stated
those objects in general terms. But,
stated in general terms, they seem the
same on both sides. Never yet have
the authoritative spokesmen of either
side avowed the precise objects which
would, if attained, satisfy them and
their people that the war had been
fought out. The world has been left to
conjecture what definite results, what
actual exchange of guanantees, what
political or territorial changes or re
adjustments, what stage of military
successes even would bring the war to
an end.
"It may he that peace is nearer than
we know; that the terms which the
belligerents on the one side and on the
other would deem it necessary to in
sist upon are not so irreconcilable as
some have feared; that an interchange
of views would clear the way at least
for conference and make the perma
nent concern of the nations a hope of
the immediate future, a concert of na
tions immediately practicable.
The president is not proposing
peace, he is not even offering media
tion. He is merely proposing that
soundings be taken in order that we ;
may learn, the neutral nations with j
the belligerent, how near the haven j
of peace may be for which all man-1
kind long with an intense and increas- j
ingly longing. He believes that the
spirit in which he speaks and the ob
jects which he seeks will be under
stood by all concerned and he confi
dently hopes for a response which will
bring a new light into the affairs of !
the world."

Bopp's Answer Is a
Sensational Charge
San Francisco, Dec. 20. Detectifes,
not dynamiters, to uncover construc
tion of submarines in the United
States for the entei.te allies and ship
ment of Japanese from California tor
war duty, were hird by the German
consulate here, according to Theo
dore Roche, in his opening statement
for the defetse of "ranz Bopp and
associates on trial for alleged dyna
miting conspiracies. ",
Roche said he was prepared to
prove the Union Iron works of San
Francisco built submarines here dur
ing 1915 for the entente allies and
shipped the parts to Canada for ss
sembly. He asserted British 4hips trans
ported Japanese from San Francisco
to Japanese war ships in the-Pacific.
Objections by the defense to the
continuance of the trial on the
ground that the government had not
made out a prima tacie case were de
nied by the court. ''
In outlining his defense Kocne said
C. C. Crowley, Louis J. Smith, J." H.
Van Koolbergen and Mrs. Margaret
Cornell, alleged consulate spies, were
supposed to keep tab on entente tnu- ,
nitions shipments. It is on Smith's
story of attempted dynamitings that
the government relies mainly.
