PRESIDENT TO DELIVER ANOTHERWARMESSAGE

Is Preparing to Definitely Cast Aside All Thought of Peace At This Tim^.

WASHINGTON^ March 1«.—President Wilson appears about to again i|ik war. ,,Official intimations tonight were that he is preparing: to definitely cast aside for the present all thought that peace fan be made with the Teutonic militarists.

Convinced that peace talk and peace maneuvers now are futile and dangerous to morale, the administration is about to try to put a punch and a smash into war work, and to drive to cover any \vho thwart Btich work by xrusidloua peace propaganda.

The proposed revelation by the president will doubtless make, clear the American position toward Russia, particularly as regards Japanese intervention. And, according to present indications, It will point out that "actions vpeak louder than words" in the case of Hertling and Czernin—dictators of he looting peace with Russia and Rumania.

If he confines it strictly to Russia ft"*d Japan, a statement from other official quarters, probably the state department, may be forthcoming. Pressure has teen brought to bear for such a statement with a "kick in it," and one official in a high position in* dicated tonight b# would endeavor to have it made.

The state department haa let It be tenown repeatedly of late that it is— to use the vernacular—"sore clear through," over the Austrian ruthlessne»s toward Rumania. This wa« first pointed out when the original war talk began to seep out of the usually uncommunicative diplomatic branch.

See New War Spirit.

And Rumania is only one sore spot. The Oerman smash against the helpless Slav nation has stirred military men. diplomats—officials in general. War work has had a new impetus, and the very atmosphere here has been surcharged with a new spirit, a spirit of earnest war work, minus peace talk.

Still another incentive to this newthought is the fact that Czernin while* talking in conciliatory fashion, was even th*n preparing to Impose on Rumania a harsh peace. Further, Czernin Ignored the president's last peace overture. This Is indicative of the general Teutonic disinclination to talkpeace now—except perhaps a victor's peace, based on the "conquest" of the jiear east.

The German militarists are "in the saddle." Drunk with power, they are bent on sweeping on. Kven the "moderates" are talking more belligerently. 1,1 these circumstances, the president has only one course, as his friends see it—to talk and act wax.

War Work Slowed Down. Veace talk has slowed down war Work to an extent, experts say. And

Keep your KodaJf busy for the «ttke of trie boys "over there.'* We have a full line of Kodaks *nd Kodak supplies.

they declare this must be 'offset and that America must get the punch into war work—if—bluntly -we are to win, and what is more, if we are not to be defeated. Allied diplomats share this view.

Soviet endorsement today of the "Russian German peace terms make* Germany's near eastern hold firmer, as authorities see it. At the same time, it may offer further excuse for Japan to consider intervention iu Siberia necessary.

On this point, however, America's views are unchanged, it was said officially, while at the same time, it was revealed exchanges of views between the twu countries are still proceeding,

The president is understood to be prepared to make a clear exposition of his stand when he makes his proposed war statement. Indications are that no change in American position is possible, except under radically changed conditions, but what is in the president's mind on that point is a secret.

The Japanese situation must now be considered in the light of the soviet approval of pen% terms nnd its reply to President Wilson, suggesting ail upheaval of the toilers to bring^ an end to the war. The Russian congress was apparently suspicious of Japanese intervention, and the president is anxious that there shall be no Russo German alliance resultant from intervention in Siberia.

UNDERTAKER'S NOVEL CONTEST

1 F0R ADy£RTISING

essays

H. P. Martin Brings Out Many Views on the Subject—Prize to J. A. Lane.

H. P. Martin, undertaker, has been conducting a contest- for

essavg

on the

subject "Should an Undertaker Advertise?" The contest lrew out about two hundred letters and ten dollars was given the one chosen. This was written by J. A. Lane. H35 North tSighth street. It follows: "In answer to the above question, we submit the*following: From the earliest history of the race it has been the custom of civilized peopie to properly care far the dead. This is right, and even if love, reverence, and respect for the departed were lacking, common fiense would teach us that, the hody must be taken care of after death. The work of the undertaker is therefore a necessary, as well as a legitimate calling.

"Advertisement of any legitimate business is really a favor to the public, in that it keeps the people informed as to the location, capabilities and preparedness of the person or firm advertising. "Time, worry and much needed resources are often saved by reference to the advertisement of an undertaker. It sometimes happens that remains of a loved one are to be taken to u distant city for burial. The relatives being in a place not well known to mem are at a loss to find some one capable of taking charge of the body, as well as making arrangements for the funeral trip. Circumstances may have tended to limit the time of preparation Tor a long trip of this kind. "It is then that tre undertaker's -advertisement becomes a kindness to the friends of the departed. No disrespect, either to the living or tne dead is shown in the undertaker's advertisement. It is not an evidence of disrespect for the departed, neither does any lack of regard for propriety appear from the mart that the undertaker advertises his willingness and capability to act in the greatest emergency Jthat can come to man. "After the printed advertisement has been the means of the undertaker being called into the family, the kind of services he renders will be the best and lasting advertisement to be remembered by the family and of real wurth to the undertaker. "The undertaker must also compete with others in the same calling. "The advertisement of the undertaker is therefore sanctioned from the stand-point of law. propriety, kindness, necessity and business."

RUSSIA OFFICIALLY RETIRES FROM WAR

Pan-Soviet Congress of 1,000 Delegates Votes Overwhelmingly to Accept Teuton Forced Peace.

PETROGRAD, March II. Russia officially, retired from the war today. The pan-soviet congress at Moscow, consisting of 1,000 representatives of workmen, soldiers, peasants and cossacks, overwhelmingly voted ratification of the German dictated peace terms, adopted at Brest-Litovsk,

The action was a foregone coneltosion. The Bolshevik faction, which dominated the congress, under the leadersip of Premier Lenine. previously had cast 453 ballots'in favor of ratification at a factional caucus.

The vote. If the announced letermination of the social revolutionary commissary is carried out, automatically disrupted the present Russian cabinet. These ministers, following the example of Justice Commissary Steinberg, temporarily retired from the cabinet, pending settlement of Vhe peace Question at Moscow. They declared their intention of making the retirements permanent, in case the pact were ratified.

Breach it Widening.'

Steinberg openly stated that "the pan soviet must tear up the Brest-Lit-ovsk treaty and

create

the necessary

government for defense." The breach between the Bolsheviki ana me social revolutionaries was widening today. M. Manespirodonowa, leader of the latter, issued an appeal to the peasants to rally to the defense of the land, declaring his party represented the masses—a position wmcn the Bolshevik leaders always regarded as peculiarly their own.

Packed by the lesser fttctiong, the social revolutionaries of the left were agitating a revival of the constituent assembly (dissolved by the Bolsheviki after the overthrow of the Kerensky government) to form a Coalition. The prospects for success of this movement apparently were growing.

Meanwhile, in Petrograd, Leon Trotsky. in his new role as war commissary, was pushing the work of creating a new Russian army. "Germany knows a robber peace cannot last,"' he explained, in a succint statement.

Hears Wilson's Message.

Previously to voting on the peace treaty, the Moscow congress listened to President Wilson's message of sympathy to Russia. The message Was rece \ed in silence broke only by murmurings regarding the Japanese situation.

Then the congress adopted' a resolution in reply, directed to the world at large, and urging the "international proletariat" to overthrow capitalism and establish a socialist government!

The resolution read: '"The congress of soviets expressed its appreciation to the American people particularly to the toilers and those who are being exploited, for their sympathy toward the Russian people at a time when the Russian socialistic republic is experiencing its greatest hardships. "The republic takes advantage of President Wilson's message to express to all people perishing and suffering1 as a result of the imperialistic war. its warm sympathy and confidence that the time is not far distant when the masses will overthrow capitalism and establish a social society, which alone is capable of giving a lasting and just peace and assuring the welfare of the toilers."

ent time there are about 800 men workiug at the local factory. The Turner Brothers' company fai alsc operating full time and their output for the season has been disposed of. C, M. Turner, president of the company, says that their business has been somewhat handicapped by car shortage and various embargoes, but that this has not proven a serious drawback and that the general outlook for the season's business is good. More than 600 men are employe# at the Turner Bros, plant.

Car Works Resumes.

Within ten days the local plant of thet American .Car and Foundry company will be working full blast and probably considerable overtime. This is due to the closing of a new contract which calte for the building df a large number of steel cars for the Illinois Central railroad company. In speaking of conditions at the local plant, 15. D. Bulck, resident representative of the .company, says that at the present time several of the departments are working full time and that when work is started on the new contract everything will be "going the limit." This work will be started as soon as the material for the construction of the cars can be secured, which probably will be about ten dave. The pay-roll at the plant now includes the names of about 600 men.

Wilbur Topping, president and genera: manager of the Columbian enameling and stamping works, says that conditions at his plant are about normal and that they are working full time at present. The marketing of the products of this plant has been somewhat hindered by various embargoes that have been enforced by the railroads and they are producing all of the goods that they can get shipped to the desired destinations. The number of employes at this plant varies considerably but between 1,000 and 1,500 people are workipg all of the time. "Our plant is running full time and fuli capacity and we have already sold everything thpt we can produce In the next three month«" was the cheerful message received from James Hoskins, vice president and treasurer of the Terre Haute Vitrified Brick'company. This company is also having a little trouble ixi marketing Ite products on account of car shortage, but Mr. Hoskins says that he believes that traffic conditions will improve and that the outlook for the coming season is an excellent one in the brick business. More than ISO men aro working at the plant of the company on the west side of the river.

Iron Mill* Rushed.

The plant of the Highland Iron and Steel company is working full time and is employing between 500 and H00 men. This .company is also troubled by transportation facilities, both in getting raw material inio the factory and in getting the finished product shipped to the desired mirkets. In speaking of the business outlook. William M. Myers, secretary of the company, said that with the exception of the manufacture of materials for the government, conditions in the iron and steel market were unsettled and that it was hard to make

any

forecast as to what

conditions would be in the future. Mr. Myers said that his company was making considerable material for government use and that this was, of course, already contracted for. Conditions in the open market are bard to predict.
