a Desire to Help Russians j
in Their Plan of Res- i

CARDINAL GIBBONS SAYS
C-EClCrStfTA'uD GOOD

Mr .
Koine. Jan. ll.-President Yilon's
message is the first courageous step
toward peace, says the Messaggero.
It ays that President Wilson in li is
message evidently wished to meet the
Russian people and to help them to
complete thtir resurrection-
"After the statement of Premier
Lloyd George and the message of
President Wilson," it adds, "the world
can set whether the boast of pacifism
of Berlin and Vienna really exists, or
is an imperialistic dream of triumph.
-Meanwhile the whole civilized world,
all honest people and everybody who
earnestly wishes a just and lasting
peace will applaud President Wilson's
program.'
Free Italians.
"Italy has no imperialistic ambition,
but wishes to free Italians from for
eign oppression, creating a state of
safety for its own country on both sea
and land."
The Tempo recalls that Italy, like
the United States, treely entered the
world war for reasons of principle.
It has sustained enormous sacrifices
to redeem its provinces still under
Austria and 'also to secure the safety
of its frontier on land and sea, which
alone can allow it "to live on a footing
of equality under 'conditions of lib
erty." ' ; ' '
' Answer Lenine. .
The Popojo Romano praises the
generous intentions' of President Wil
son and the American people and gov
ernment. It eulogizes the declaration
of the president concerning the solid
arity of the allies and says that as
soon as Italy and France make similar
statements they will be the answers
to the government of. Lenine and
Trotxky, with whom the entente yet
does not have diplomatic relations.
The Giornale. Italia applauds the
message and calls President Wilson
"one of the greatest statesmen of our
epoch." It expresses hope that the
president's enlightened mind will see
the necessity of solving definitely the
Italo-Austrian problem in order to
avoid future .excuses for conflict.

WOMAN SUFFRA8E
WINS VICTORY IN
KOUSEOF LORDS
Six Million Women of Great
Britain Given the Vote; Lead
ers of Cause Are
Jubilant.
London. Jan. 11. The morning
newspapers welcome heartily the de
cision of the House of,lrds on woman
suffrage, which gives the vote to
about six million women and ends
the long wrangle which has troubled
the country for years. It s true that
the third reading of the bill is yet to
be taken and a motion to submit the
question to a referendum is. to be
disposed of but it is not believed
that this lias any prospects of suc
cess, even if pressed to a vote.
Leaders of the suffrage cause did
not conceal their joy.
Miss Cristobel Pankhurst said:
"The vote will be used for the na
tional good, first for promoting social
reform; second, for stimulating na
tional defense, and, third, for dis
ciplining democracy."
Alias, rankhurst added that the
women of Great Britain now had
only one idea, namely, to assure vic
tory tor the allies.'

PLAN TO RELIEVE
SD6AR SHORTAGE
? .
New York Bankers Will . Fi
nance 1918 Crop in Cuba;
Backed by Food Administration.
New York, Jan. 11. A plan under
which New York banking interests
would finance the next Cuban sugar
crop involving expenditure of a sum
as high as $150,000,000 is under con
sideration here, it was learned today.
The importance of assuring . the
country an adequate supply of sugar,
together with shipments required by
the entente allies, was placed before
a bankers' committee today by the
bternational sugar committee, acting
for the national food administration.
If the nlan matures aa the , com
mittee desires, money will be assured
to finance the next crop in Cuba, ex
pected to be the largest in the history
of the island republic. Anotner
sugar shortage such as the one1 of re
cent weeks would perhaps be averted.
U. S. to Supply Tonnage.
Local bankers, it was asserted to
day, would not be likely to take the
suggested action without the consent
of the federal reserve bank, but it
was assumed here that this would be
forthcoming, inasmuch as it was the
national food administration which
suggested the plan. It was believed
also that the government would make
every effort to supply the tonnage
necessary to transport the sugar . to
American ports.

Negroes Object to Ride
In Hearse; Fight Police
Chicago, Jan. 11. Commandeering
of a black automobile hearse to take
two negro prisoners to a police sta
tion caused a hard fight for two po
licemen and much excitement in the
"black belt" on the south side last
night. No patrol wagon being avail
able, a policeman hailed a passing
hearse.
The prisoners pleaded in supersti
tious fear not to be placed in such
a conveyance and finally fought to
prevent it. . It took the combined ef
forts of several policemen and ci
vilians to force the men into the
hearse and to hold them there until
the station was reached.

international sugar committee. The
DroDOEed syndicate would include the
National City bank, the Chase Na

pany. Charles M. Sahin. president of the
Guaranty company, is chairman of
tne oankers committee considering
the plan. No indication was s-iven
today as to how soon this committee,
wouia report to the sugar authorities.
ARMY CLEAN, SAYS
MAMOM FRONT
Representative of Bed Cross
War Council Refutes Charges
Of Drunkenness Among
U. S. Forces.
Chicago, Jan. 11. That the United
States army is the cleanest now in
Europe was the assurance given
American parents by Dr. W. T. Fos
ter, president of Reed college, Port
land, Ore., who visited the entire
French front as the representative of
the war council of the Red Cross, in
an address delivered in Chicago
today.
' "I visited every camp in France
where American soldiers are quar
tered," said Dr. Foster, "and I never
saw any drunkenness. The morals of
the American soldiers are good, too."
Reports that the Germans are starv
ing are not credited by Dr. Foster.
He believes that they will continue
to fight and that so far there is no
significance to internal rebellion.
"It is highly important that Amer
ican women should know," he con
tinued, "that every bandage they
make or article they knit goes im
mediate into use and that there is
no waste or misapplied material."
