New York, Jan. 6. President Taft declared himself as unequivocally in favor of arbitrating the Panama canal tolls In event the pending negotiations between Great Britain and the United States fail to bring about a settlement. He hopes, however, that tho question will be settled before his administration comes to an end. The president's first public declaration of his attitude on the question was made at a luncheon civen in his

honor by the international peace forum. Later, at the Republican "reorganization" dinner, he presided at what he styled his own political "wake." He made the funeral oration over his political corpse, asked modest praise for his deeds during the time ho lived at the White House, recited at length the causes that led up to his "demise" and attacked the enemies he held responsible for hiy taking off. In the course of this

speech the president made hi3 first public reference to Colonel Roosevelt since the campaign, saying thai probably 1,000,000 Republicans voted for Wilson "to avert the danger of Roosevelt's election." In Answer to Clews. The president's remarks on the Panama question apparently were prompted by a declaration in a speech by Henry Clews, banker, asserting that for President Taft's administration "to concede the right to arbitrate the difference would be a splendid achievement," but holding that "we are in the wrong and would most likely be defeated if it should go to The Hague for decision." Referring to the Panama canal treaty the president, who had said at the outset of his remarks that he

rose "with mingled feelings of sorrow and pleasure," continued:

"Mr. friend Mr. Clews differs with me and with the administration in the constructions of that treaty. That is all right. I suppose questions before have arisen as to construction of contracts in which good, honest people have been on both sides. Now that presents to me a very significant and useful example with respect to arbitration. A good many people are saying: 'Don't arbitrate, because you are going to lose. This is our own canal, and while England is making a point of it, England would not fight about it, and therefore why give up when you are not likely to get an arbitration that will be satisfactory to you and your view of the construction?' Just the Right Time. "Now then even if this view were

correct as to probability of result, which I need not admit is just the time when I am in favor of an arbitration. I mean that I had not gone about the country urging arbitration for the purpose of using that as a platform subject to attract the attention and approval of the audience. "I hope I was more conscientious

in advocating what I did advocate throughout the country under that head, and when I said that we never would have an arbitration that would be effective until we entered into an obligation that brought us into arbi

tration when we did not think we would win. That is the time that tests your faith in that method of settlement." Mr. Taft warmly denounced the senate in connection with the defeat of the proposed arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France. "Once in awhile," he said, "there comes an opportunity that seems to be a great step forward and when that opportunity is lost, when the step which might have been taken is not taken, the hearts of those whose

hopes were high are saddened."

to Give Up Adrianople and Islands in Aegean Sea. London, Jan. 6. The Ottoman delegates to the peace conference have absolutely made up their minds not Jo surrender the fortress of Adrianople or the islands in the xiegean sea, aecording to a statement made here. An explicit and categorical declaration to this effect was prepared for

submission to the next session of the peace conference in St. James' palace. The Turks, however, may make some further concessions in- the province of Adrianople. The delegates of Bulgaria, Greece, Montenegro and Servia met to consider their attitude in view of the probable Turkish reply to their demand for a decision cn the question of Adrianople. The ambassadors of Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Italy and Rus

sia resumed their "conversations" at the British foreign office, when they began considering the questions involved in the crisis which has been reached in the peace negotiations. The attitude of the Balkan allies

was foreshadowed by Dr. S. Daneff, the chief of the Bulgarian delegation, who stated: "We expect that the Turks will be unable to give us acceptable conditions. The negotiations wll then be broken off. We have an army which can continue the war." Dr. Daneff added a phrase which possibly indicates that a way out of the deadlock may be found. He said:

"If the Turks wish to appeal to the European powers, we cannot prevent them from doing so." The relations between Bulgaria and Roumania are reported to have reached a delicate stage, and this fact possibly may explain Turkey's attitude in the peace conference.

Newport News. Va.. Jan. 6. TCteht

of the fourteen survivors of the stenm-

er Julia Luckenbach, rammed and sunk

in me Chesapeake bay by the British tramp Indrakaula, arrived h:re nnri

told how 14 of their number had gone down in the icy waters without n

chance for life. The eight men. after

a six hours' battle with the terrific gale which swept the whole coast,

were taken from the riverine: of their

sunken ship by the Danish steamer

Pennsylvania and brought here. Thev

were almosi dead.

The Luckenbach, from Port Tamna

for Baltimore, was about to anchor off the Tangier gas buoy at the mouth of the Potomac when the Indrakaula caught her and cut her practically in

two m the line of her No. 2 hold. She went down like a rock, and only the men on deck had a chance for life. The Indrakaula, though badly damaged and in danger of sinking, saved six of the crew. New York, Jan. 6. After three harge loads of her heavy freight had

been removed the steamship Amerika of the Hamburg-American line, which went aground in the channel, was pulled off at high water. The Amerika with a passenger list of 800 and a crew of 300 proceeded on her way to Bremen. The vessel Was not damaged in any way. San Diego, Cal., Jan. 6. A small sloop is ashore south of this city and it is feared five men who were on board her have perished.

"We dined out lapt evening. Pa disgraced us, as usual." "How so." "Got to the end of the dinner with three forks and two spoons still

"There's a new disease called shopper's cramp," he said "It appears early in December, becomes violently epidemic about the middle of the month and ends suddenly on the evening of the 24th. "Women feel shopper's cramp in the arms, the limbs, everywhere; but it attacks the husband only in one place the pocket."

Fire In Bank of England. The first fire within memory occurred at the Bank of England, London, a few days ago. The lire broke out in the southeastern portion of the building. The flooring and joisting were considerably damaged. The outbreak was discovered by the Bank of England authorities, and subdued by their own appliances in 30 minutes. A lieutenant and a dozen men of the Irish Guards on duty at the bank, with fixed bayonets, assisted the police in keeping the crowd back from the building.

Our Discontent. Brand Whitlock, the mayor of Toledo, was talking about discontent. "It is our discontent, our divine discontent," he said, "that will make a great nation of us.

Six Die of Meningitis. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 4. Six deaths were reported from meningitis at Lepanto. Ark., during the night, five died in Lake county, Tenn., four at Dyersburg, Tenn., and over 200 new cases developed In West Tennessee and East Arkansas. Dr. J. A. Albright, president of the Tennessee state board of health, said Friday that the disease was caused by high water ir April, 1912.

Washington. Jan. 3. Although the mails now are open, through the inauguration of the parcels post, to farm products and meats, Secretarv of Ag

riculture Wilson is not convinced that the service will materially affect the "high cost of living." The result of direct delivery from the producer to the dining table of the consumer will benefit the former alone, in his belief. He reiterated his conviction, having made it in a special report to congress before the last adjournment. "A cheapening of farmers' costs of marketing." he said, "will naturally result in gain to the producer rather than to the consumer. If the consum

er is to benefit by changes in the costs of distribution, it seems nroba-

ble that he must do so by cheapening or eliminating costs at his end of the chain of distribution." The secretary advocates co-operative buying as one means of reduciRg costs, and also recommends reforms in the methods of local distribution. He also expresses the belief that a

division of markets in the department of agriculture, to watch production and urge direct trade between producer and consumer, would aid greatly in cutting down household bills.

Congressman a Suicide. Washington. Jan. 4. Representative Willip.m W. Wedemeyer of Ann Ar bor, Mich., who suddenly went insane at Colon, Panama, at the time of

nad admitted a shortage of more than $100,000.

THE BEST TEACHER. Old Experience Still Holdo the Palm. For real practical reliability and something to swear by, experience plain old experience is able to carry a big load yet without getting swaybacked. A So. Dak. woman found snm

things about food .from Old Experience a good, reliable teacher. She writes: "I think I have used almost every breakfast food manufactured, but none equal Grape-Nuts in my estimation. "I was greatly bothered with weak stomach and indigestion, with formation of gas after eating, and tried many remedies for it but did not find relief. "Then-1 decided I must diet and see if I could overcome the difficulty that way. My choice of food was GrapeNuts because the doctor told me I could not digest starchy food. "Grape-Nuts food has been a great benefit to me for I feel like a different person since I begun to eat it. It is wonderful to me how strong my nerves have become. I advise everyone to try it, for experience is the best teacher. "If you have any stomach trouble-r-cant digest your food, use GrapeNuts food for breakfast at least, and you won't be able to praise it enough when you see how different you feel:" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.
