He said: "They figured on the normal death rate in making their i, ourchases of Liberty bonds, and when the epidemic struck the cotm 0 try they have had to throw them on the market to liquidate their claims.

What is now planned is a per manent relationship between the defense council and all industries in the country which will embrace the outline of a war time organi zation to set up almost over night if the need should arise. The studies now in progress are largely those desired by the gen eral staff of the army. DEPORTATION OF ENEMY ALIENS BRITISH HEART S TOUGHED BY PRESIDENT (Continued From rage One.) today. It was gray and thick, with intervals of rain, but that is typical of the season in the midlands, and it kept nobody in doors. Merchants, workmen, farmers, soldiers, with countless thousands of women and children stood in the streets and rushed from po'nt to point for a glimpse of the president from an other angle. Shaking hands with the lord mayor and the chief constable on parting the president said: "Gentlemen, I congratulate you both. In all my travels 1 have not known araniicments to go on so smoothly. You have given me a happy time. My only regret is that it was not longer." Cheers at Leave Taking. The last Manchester saw of the president, he stood on the platform of the royal tra il, bat in hand, with his military aide holding the dark blue presidential flag which had been presented by the people of France. The band played "The Star Spangled Banner." The red-robed lord mayor and the hint and silver bedecked chief constable were in the fore ground, with an American guard of honor in the background, and there came final tribute of cheers, stirring the flacrs which hung from the arches of the station. The president was the recipient of ovations along the railway from Manchester. The people had gather ed along the line near the city and near the suburbs and at various local cities on the route and cheer ed vigorously as the train passed. In a telegram regretting his in alvlity to visit Southampton and re ceive the freedom of the city, the president expressed his cordial thanks for the honor and said: "It would have been a great pleasure, but it is absolutely neces sary for me to return to France on Tuesday." Returns to London. London, Dec. 30 President Wil son arived in London at 7:15 p. m. and immediately went to Bucking ham palace. He was cheered by large numbers of persons who were proceeding homeward from busi uess. Otherwise there was no dem onstration as the time of the arrival of the presidential train was not known to the public. President Wilson w'll go direct to Italy from Paris. He will leave Paris for Rome Wednesday night, arriving in the Italian capital Fri day. Rome is to be the onlv city :n Italy the president will visit.

To Ship French Potash to America in Returning Boats Par s. Dec. ,10. Fdward X. Hur ley, chairman of the American ship ping board, has devised an im portant plan for utilizing the vast amount of American tonnage now returning to the United Stales in ballast for supplying the United States with the huge stock of pot ash needed for agricultural purposes, as well as large quantities of French, English, Belgium and Italian prod ucts. Mr. llurly today explained his plan to the correspondent. He said that at present Italy, France and England were taking from Amer ica food and war supplies requiring a million and a half tons of shipping which was virtually all returning to the United States in ballast. It was now purposed to substitute car goes for the ballast beginning with potash from the extens've deposits of Alsace under French control Experts of the war trade board will leave for Alsace tomorrow to ar range for large shipments, Mr. Hur ley added. Borah Charges Kin of Soldiers Solicited in Franked Envelopes Washington, Dec. 30. Sending under government frank of adver tisements for honor rolls to relatives of soldiers whose names appear in the casualty list was criticized in the senate today by Senator Borah of Idaho, republican. The senator read a letter signed by the American Honor Roll company, of Hartford, Conn., agreeing to send an honor roll to the recip'ent of the letter for one dollar. The letter, he said, was received in an envelope from the office of the adjutant general and sent under government frank. Senator Borah said this was a "picayun:sh petit larceny system to get a dollar out of the kin of those wounded in this war," and added that his purpose in bringing the matter to the attention of the senate was "so the adjutant general's office would know how this matter is be- Sixty-Two Lynchings in United States in 1918 Tuskegee. Ala., Dec. 30. Sixty two lynchings took place in the United States in 1918, according to records complied by Tuskegee In stitute and made public tonight.

If the future had nothing for us but a new attempt to keep the world at a right poise by a balance of power, the United States would take no in terest, because she will join no com bination of power which is not a combination of all of us. She is not interested merely in the peace of Europe, but in the peace of the world. "Therefore, it seems to me that in the settlement which is just ahead of us something more deli- i cate and difficult than was ever at tempted betore has to be accom plished a genuine concert of mind and of purpose. But wlrle it is dif ficult, there is an element present that makes it easy. Never before in the history of the world, 1 be lieve, has there been such a keen international consciousness as there is now. "There is a great voice of human ity abroad in the world just now which he who cannot hear is deaf. There is a great compulsion of the common conscience now in exis tence which if any statesman resist gain for him the most unenviable eminence in history. We are not obeying the mandate of parties or of politics. We are obeying the mandate of humanity. Hopes for Settlement. "That is the reason why it seems to me that the things that are most often in our minds are the least significant. It am not hopeful that the individual items of the settle ment which we are about to attempt will be altogether satisfactory. "One has only to apply his mind to any one of the question of boundary and of altered sovereignty and of radical aspirations to do something more than conjecture that there is no man and no body of men who know just how they ought to be settled, and yet if we are to make unsatisfactory settle ments we mi'st see to it that they are rendered more and more sat isfactory by the subsequent adjust ments which are made possible. We must provide them machinery for readjustments in order that we have the machinery of good will and friendship. Correspondence Means Friendship. "Friendship must have a machin ery. If I cannot correspond with you, if I cannot learn your minds, if I cannot co-operate with you. I cannot be your friend, and if the world is to remain a body of friends, it must have the means of friend ship, the means of constant friendly intercourse, the means for constant watchfulness over the common in terests. That makes it necessary to make some great effort to have with one another an easy and con stant method of conference, so that troubles may be taken when they are little and not allowed to grow until they are big. I never thought I had a big differnce with a man, that I did not find when I came into conference with him that after all it was rather a little difference, and that if we were frank with one another and did not too much stand upon that great enemy of mankind wdiich is called pride, we could come together. "It is the wish to come together that is more than half of the process. It is a doctrine wdiich ought to be easy of comprehension in a great commercial center like this. You cannot trade with a man who sus pects you. You cannot establish commercial and industrial relations with those who do not trust you. Good will is the forerunner of trade. Good will is the foundation of trade, and trade is the great amicable in strument of the world on that ac count. Tells Anecdote. "I felt before I came here, at home in Manchester, because Man chester has so many of the char acteristics of our great American cities. I was reminded of an anec dote of a humorous fellow country man of mine, who was sitting at luncheon in his club one day when a man whom he did not like particu larly came up and slapped him on the shoulders and said: "'Hello, Olley, how are you?' "He looked at him coldly and said: " T don't know your face, and I don't know your name, but your manners are very familiar.' At Home in Manchester. "I don't know your name, but your manners are very familiar and very delightfully familiar, so that I felt that in the community of in terest and understanding, which is established in great currents of WANTED Extra Salesladies to Help Us During Our January Half Price Sale of Women's and Misses' Suits, Coats and Dresses which begins next Thursday, January 2. Apply in person at once. trade, we are enabled to see inter national processes perhaps better than they can be seen by others. I take it I am not far from right in supposing that that is the reason why Manchester has been the cen ter of the great forward looking sentiments of men who had the in stincts ot large planning not merely for the city itself, but for the king dom and the empire and the world. Ami with that outlook we can be sure we can go shoulder to shoul der together. "I wish it were possible for us to do something like some of my very stern ancestors did, for among my ancesters are those very determined persons who were known as the Covenanters. I wish we could, not for Great Britain and the United States, but for France, for Italy and the world, enter into a great league and covenant, declaring ourselves first of all friends of mankind and uniting ourselves together for the maintenance of the triumph of BUBLESllYS DID NOT EXCEED CABLE AUTHORITY (Continued From I'age On.) each month, "which had been done on an average of better than 30 days' time from the average date of postmarking to the delivery of mail abroad." Senator Hitchcock declared that while the order might have been signed by the president on that date, it had not been countersigned by the secretary of state, while an i.ouncement of such intention had been "suppressed, he country not knowing anything of it." The postmaster general, the sena tor added, "did something that was entirely outside of the authority congress intended to give him." and by taking such action even after the war had ended he came "very close to breaking faith with congress." "I don't believe," he added, "that any intelligent person will support the postmaster gene,"il in tle claim that because the order was signed 01, November 2 he vvas justified in taking over the cables." Even with the attorney general's rifling. Postmaster General Burle son was "not vindicated," Senator Kellogg of Minnesota declared. He added that Mr. Burleson had "vio lated the good faith ot congress." Senator Swanson of Virginia join ed in the d'scussion to say that a cause of delay in mail delivery to men overseas was due to the fail ure of the War department to give the addresses of units to the Post office department. "And these poor devils lying on cots in hospitals, did not get mail for months at a time," interposed Senator Hitchcock. While the senate debate was in progress the Fostoffice department issued this statement: "The attention of the postmaster general having been directed to the statement of Senator Watson of In d:ana that the proclamation of the president taking over the cables was falsified in order that it might appear that the cables were taken over be fore the armistice was signed, made the following statement: " 'Senator Watson has evidently been imposed upon. I was present on the second day of November when the president signed the proc lamation taking over the cables. I saw him attach his signature thereto and in his own handwriting insert with pen and ink the line date No vember 2, 1918.'

Their general object is to offset the up ward jump made in prices dar ing the war. The effect has been to make the prospective buyer wait. He suspects that if he waits one month, two months, three months, he may be able to save one hundred dollars, two hun dred dollars, possibly three hun dred dollars. But this question of price, and the future prices, need not cause the slightest anxiety to the man or woman who contemplates buying a Standard Eight. There will be no reduction in the Standard Eight price. The Standard Eight has al ways been under-priced ; the on ly advance which was made hav ing been due to the increased cost of material and labor, which con dition still prevails, with the re sult that there can be no change in the price of our present mod els, which we will continue to manufacture for an indefinite period. As we have never asked a war price for the Standard Eight, there is no necessity or possibil ity of revision-downward to re adjust an inflated price. The Standard Eight is in stronger demand today than ever before. It has more power, more performance, more riding com-, fort than any car in its class.
