TO TELL OUR AIMS IN EUROPE

Mrs. Norman de NEW YORK, Jan. 8. Mrs. Norman de R. Whitehouse, the first woman ever commissioned by Uncle Sam to go Abroad on a diplomatic war mission, refuses to discuss her proposed work, but is preparing to leave immediately for Switzerland. The committee on public information has delegated her to place America's war alms before the people of Switzerland and hopes thereby to get them before the peoples of the central powers. It is believed that this mission ia the first step in a campaign to get publicity abroad for the United States side of tbe struggle and combat the insidious work of the kaiser's press agents. Mr. Edgar G. Sis6on of the committee on public information has been in Petrograd several months engaged in the same character of work Mrs. Whitehouse will take up. Mrs. Whitehouse's expenses, and probably her salary if she accepts one, will be paid out of the funds of the committee on public information. The exact information Mrs. Whitehouse will be expected to disseminate has not yet been compiled. She will at 4 o'clock in the Morrisson-Reeves library. Officers will be elected. The Art Study class meets Wednesday morning at 9:80 o'clock in the Art Gallery. Prof. A. M. Brooks of Indiana University will give a lecture.

Tbe regular monthly basket social of North A Street Friends church which was to have been held tomorrow evening, has been postponed indefinitely. One of the thickest skinned animals in existence is the walrus, which is found in great herds on the ice fields of the ocean and in winter on Bering sea. Hides one inch or more thick, are common, and they can be split many times, every layer a tough strong, durable leather.

R. White house. be told before she sails what her duties will be, and she will take her texts and information principally from the pronouncements of the president and other accepted public utterances. From time. to time information will be furnished to her, and she will act as an agent of the committee. Mrs. Whitehouse is chairman of the New York State Woman's Suffrage party. Her fellow-workers Bay she led them to victory on November 6 last; Mrs. Whitehouse says she just hap pened to be chairman when the worn' en won. Therein one may see Mrs. Whitehouse's modesty about her per sonal affairs. By birth, Mrs. Whitehouse is south ern. Her nome was in New Orleans until in 1898 she married Norman de R. Whitehouse of New York, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. Henry Whitehouse and known as one of the most eligible bachelors in New York. Before that Vira Boarman that was her maiden name had spent several season in New York society. Mrs. Whitehouse was the "brains" of the monster parade of women in New York city last fall just before election. AMMUNITION Continued From Page One. partment is trying to figure out how ships could have been cleared containing ammunition consigned to Copenhagen. An investigation by both the treasury department and the department of justice is now in progress. The theory upon which the investigators are proceeding 1b that the ammunition was made in one or more of the mmieroue factories in the German communities of New Jersey In the vicinity of New York. The boxes containing the ammunition were then transported to the docks, probably by motor trucks, and secretly substituted for boxes containing innocent hardware previously inspected and passed by the treasury agents. Alien Enemies Are Free. The department of justice is supposed to have rounded up all the alien enemie3 in the United States and taken steps to prevent them from committing hostile acts. There is reason to believe that these operations have been a farce. About 30,000 alien enemies have been taken into custody by the department of justice, but only 300 have been interned. Those released have been paroled to persons who have undertaken to be responsible for the proper conduct of the alien enemies. The bureau of asvy intelligence 09 used the arrest recently of 196 alien enemies employed by the Sperry Gyroscope company in New York. Attorney General Gregory almost immediately released 191 of the suspects. Special Agents Protest. The department of justice contends that there were no grounds for intering any of the alien enemies released. Some of the agents, however, who investigated the cases of the suspects, protested against their release, asserting their convictions that German spies and dangerous characters who were giving aid and comfort to the enemy were among the number. It was pointed out to the department of Justice that a German spy would find it to his advantage to carry on his work if paroled to an American citizen for such disposition would indicate the confidence of the American government in his integrity and tend to disarm suspicion. If later he should be caught at his espionage activities he had nothing to fear but internment. Gregory is a Pacifist. The failure of the department to deal more vigorously with alien enemies is held responsible for the recent fires, explosions, and other works of destruction in munition manufacturing centers. Attorney General Gregory, like Secretary of War Baker and Secretary of the Navy Daniels, is a pacifist, and for that reason has subjected himself to the criticism that a pacifist cannot be expected to exhibit the proper grasp of the problems of conducting a great war. The war department has under consideration a plan for the safeguarding of supplies of high explosives shipped

DON'T TRADE IN LIBERTY BONDS

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 8. Indiana merchants who have been advertising their willingness to accept liberty bonds in payment for their wares, are asked by the Indiana State Council of Defense to desist. The request comes from William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the United States treasury. Mr. McAdoo presents his reasons for the request, in the following authorized statement: "It has been brought to my attention that numbers of merchants throughout tbe country are offering to take Liberty Loan bonds 'of the first and second issue at par, or even in some cases at a premium, in exchange for merchandise. While I have no doubt that these merchants are actuated by patriotic motives, I am sure that they have failed to consider the effect which the acceptance of their offers would have upon the situation. "We are making the strongest ef fort to have these Government bonds, purchased for permanent investment by the people at large, to be paid for out of the past or future savings of those who buy them. Purchases thus made not only result in providing funds for the uses of the Government, but they also effect a conservation of labor and material. When the bonds are exchanged for merchandise, it de feats the primary object of their sale, it discourages thrift and increases expenditures, thus depriving the Govern ment of labor and material needed for war purposes. "In addition to this, such bonds when taken in exchange for merchandise must in most cases be immediately sold in the open market. This naturally tends to depress the market price of the Issue and makes it less easy to sell future issues at the same rate.. "I hope that the merchants of the country, upon a more careful consideration of this subject, will discontinue their efforts to Bell merchandise and take Liberty bonds In payment." LYNN, IND.

The women furnished all the yarn for the articles. 14 PRINCIPLES Continued From Page One.l that military and imperalistic minority which has so far dominated their whole policy and controlled the affairs of Turkey and of the Balkan states which have felt obliged to become their associates in this war? The Russian representatives has insisted, very justly, very wisely, and in the true spirit of modern democracy that the conferences they have been holding with the Teutonic and Turkish statesmen should be held within open, not closed doors, and all the world has been audience, as was desired. To whom have we been listening then? To those who speak the spirit and Intention of the resolutions of the German reichstag of the ninth of July last, the spirit of Intention of the liberal leaders and parties of Germany or to those who resist and defy that spirit and intention and insist upon conquest and subjugation? Or are we listening in fact to both, unreconciled, in open and helpless contradiction? These are very serious and pregnant questions. Upon the answers to them depend the peace of the world. "But whatever the result of the parleys at Brest-Litovsk, whatever thq confusions of council and of purpose, in the utterances of the spokesmen of the Central Empires, they have again attempted to acquaint the world with their objects in the war and have again challenged their adversaries to say what their objects are and what sort of settlements they would deem just and satisfactory. There is no by the government and the allies through the port of New York. More to Safeguard Port. Secretary of War Baker and Irving P. Bush, executive officer of the New York port war board, today conferred regarding plans looking primarily to the protection of the lives and property of New Yorkers from explosives. Mr. Baker expressed the wish that the matter be not widely discussed beyond asuring New York that steps are being taken along this line., It is known that the plan involves the acquisition of certain land for storage purposes. The land must be located conveniently. Storage facilities will be provided as soon as possible after a site ; is finally selected. No inkling was given as to probable sites.

On The Screen

MURRETTE Margery Wilson, who appeared in "The Mother Instinct" and other Triangle plays, makes her debut as a star in "Mountain Dew." a tale of the Kentucky mountains during the moonshiners reign, which will be shown at the Murrette Theatre Wednesday and Thursday. A wild little sprite of the hills, she meets a young novelist gathering material for a book. He is charmed by her native jovelIness and determines to educate her. He manages to get the position of "boss of the school," and invites the girl to attend. Her father, an old feudist, objects to "larnin"' and threatens the teacher, but the latter covers him with a gun and calmly proceeds with Margery's reading lesson. A bright romance with many humorous situations follows this episode. Charles Gunn, the most popular of Triangle leading men, has the role of the teacher. Jack Richardson, Aaron Edwards, Mary Borland, Al W. Pilson and Thomas Washington are also in the cast. Thomas Heffron directed the play, which was written by Julien Josephsen and Monte M. Katterjohn. good reason why that challenge should not be responded to and responded to with the utmost candor. We did not wait for it. Not once, but again and again, we have laid our whole thought and purpose before the world not in general terms only but each time with sufficient definitions to make it clear what sort of definitive terms of settlement must necessarily bring out of them. George Has Spoken. "Within the last week, Mr. Lloyd George has spoken with admirable Candor and with admirable spirit for the people and government of Great Britain. There is no confusion of council among the adversaries of the Central Powers, no uncertainty of principle, no vagueness of detail. The only secrecy of council, the only lack of fearless frankness, the only failure to make definite statements of the objects of the war, lies with Germany and her allies. The issues of life and death hang upon those definitions. No statesman who has the least conception of his responsibility ought for a moment to permit himself to continue this tragical and appalling outpouring of blood and treasury unless he is sure beyond a peraventure that the objects of the vital sacrifice are part and parcel of the very life of society and that the people for whom he speaks think them right and imperative as he does. ' "There is, moreover, a voice calling for these definitions of principle and! of purpose which Is, it seems to me, more thrilling and more compelling than any of the many moving voices with which the troubled air of the world is filled. It is the voice of the Russian people. They are prostrate and all but helpless, it would seem before the grim power of Germany, which has hitherto known no relenting and no pity. Their power apparently is shattered. And yet their soul is not subservient. They will not yield either in principle or in action. "The conception of what is right, of what is human and honourable for them to accept, has been stated with a frankness, a largeness of view, a generosity of spirit and a universal human sympathy which must challenge the admiration of every friend of mankind; and they have refused to com pound their ideals or desert others that they themselves may be safe. They call to us to say what it is that we desire, in what, if in anything, our purpose and our spirit differ from theirs; and I believe that the people of the United States would wish me to respond with utter simplicity and frankness, whether their present leaders believe it or not, it is our heartfelt desire and hope that some way may be opened whereby we must be privi leged to assist the people of Russia to obtain their utmost hope of liberty and ordered peace. Secret Treaties Gone. "It will be our wish and purpose that the processes of peace, when they are begun, shall be absolutely open and that they shall involve and per mit henceforth no secret understanding of any kind. The day of conquest and aggrandizement is gone by; so is also the day of secret covenants entered into in the interest of particular governments and likely at some unlooked for moment to upset the peace of the world. "It is this happy fact, now clear to the view of every public man whose thoughts do not still linger in an age that is dead and gone, which makes it possible for every nation whose purposes are consistent with justice and the peace of the world to avow now or any other time the objects it has in view. "We entered this war, because violations of rights had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the lite of our own people impossible unless they were corrected and the world secured once for all against their recurrence. What we demand in this war, therefore is nothing peculiar to ourselves. It is that the world be made fit and safe to live in, and particularly that it be made safe for every peace loving nation, which, lika our own, wishes to live its own life, determine its own institutions, be assured of justice and fair dealing by the other peoples of world as against force and selfish aggression. All the peoples of the world are in effect partners in this interest and for our own part, we see very clearly that unless justice be done to others, it will not RULIM rOttLTfCC AND SURGICAL MUStM DENVER MUD FIRST AID FOrTlNFLAWMATIOM 25c AT YOUR DRUGGISTS NOTICE TO BIDDERS Proposals for supplies for the use of the Eastern Indiana Hospital for the Insane for the month of February, will be received by the Board of Trustees at the hospital before 3 p. m., Monday, January 14, 1918."

be done to us. The program of the world's peace, therefore, is our programme and that programme, the only possible programme as we see it, is this: Open Peace Covenant. 1. Open covenant of peace, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private international understandings of any kind, but diplomacy shall proeeed always frankly and in tbe public view. 2. Absolute freedom of navigation upon the seas, outside territorial waters, alike in peace and in war, except as the seas may be closed in whole or in part by international action for the enforcement of international covenant. 3. The removal, so far as possible, of all economic barriers and tbe establishment of an equality of trade conditions among all the nations consenting to the peace and associating themselves for its maintenance. 4. Adequate guarantees given and taken that national armaments will be reduced to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety. 6. A free, open minded, and absolutely impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the principle that in determining all such questions of sovereignty, the interest of the peoples concerned must have equal weight with the equitable claims of the government whose title is to be determined. 6. The evacuation of all Russian territory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will secure the best and freest co-operation of the other nations of the world in obtaining for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the independent determination of her own political developments and national policy and assure her of a sin

cere welcome into the society of free nations under institutions of her own choosing; and more than a welcome, assistance also of every kind that she may need and may herself desire. The treatment accorded Russia by her sister nations in the months to come, will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their intelligence and unselfish sympathy. Must Free Belgium. 7. Belgium, the whole world will agree, must be evacuated and restored, without any attempt to limit the sovereignty which she enjoys in common with all other free nations. No other single act will serve as this will serve to restore confidence among the nations In the laws which they have themselves set and determined for the government of their relations with one another. Without this healing act the whole structure and validity of international law is for ever impaired. 8. All French territory should be freed .and the invaded portions restored and the wrong done to France by Prussia in 1S71 in the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly 50 years, should be righted in order that peace may be once more made secure in the interest of all. 9. A readjustment of the frontiers of Italy should be affected along clearly recognizable lines of national ity. 10. The peoples of Austria-Hungary whose place among- the nations we wish to see safeguarded and assured should be accorded the freest opportunity of autonomous development. 11. Roumania, Servia and Montenegro should be evacuated, occupied territory restored; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea; and the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by friendly council along historically established lines of allegiance and nationality; and international guarantee of the political and economic independence and territorial integrity of the several Balkan states should be entered into. Turks to Hold Nation 12. The Turkish portion of the present Ottoman empire should be assured a secure sovereignty, but the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development, and the Dardanelles should be permanently opened as a free passage to the ships and commerce of all nations, under international guarantees. 13. An independent Polish state should be erected which should in SEEMS EVERYONE IS ANXIOUS TO TRY IT Recent Discovery of Ether Compound That Dries Up Corns So They Lift Out. Good news spreads rapidly and druggists here are kept busy dispensing freezone, the recent discovery of a Cincinnati man, which is said to loosen any corn so It lifts out with the fingers. A quarter of an ounce costs very little at any pharmacy, but is said to be sufficient to rid one's feet cf every hard or soft corn or callus. You apply Just a few drops on the tender, aching corn and instantly the soreness is relieved, and soon the corn is so shriveled, that it lifts cut without pain. It is a sticky substance which dries when applied and never inflames or even irritates the adjoining tissue. This discovery will prevent thousands of deaths annually from lockjaw and infection heretofore resulting from a suicidal habit of cutting corns. Adv.

clude the territories inhabited by in disputably Polish people, which should be assured a free and secure access to the sea and whose political and economic independence and territorial integrity should be guaranteed by. inter national covenant. 14. A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independ ence and of territorial integrity to great and small states alike. "In regard to these essential rectifications of wrong and assertions of right, we feel ourselves to be intimate partners of all tbe governments and peoples associated together against the imperallsts. We cannot be separated in interest or divided in purpose. We stand together until the end. For such arrangement and covenant wo are willing to fight and continue to fight until they are achieved but cnly because we wish the right to prevail and desire a just and stable peace such as can be secured only by removing the chief provocations to war, which this program does remove. Wo have no Jealousy of German greatnes-3 and there is nothing in this program that Impairs it. We grudgs her no achievements or distinction of learning or of pacific enterprise such as have made her record very bright and very enviable. We do not wish to Injure her or to block in any way ber legitimate Influence or power. We do not wish to fight her either with arms or with hostile arrangements of trade, If she is willing to associate herself with us and the other peaceloving nations of the world in covenants of justice and lawful and fair dealings. We wish her only to accept a place of equality among the peoples of the world the new world in which we now live instead of a place of

mastery." "Neither do we presume to suggest to her any alteration or modification of ber institutions. But it is necessary, we must frankly say, and necessary as a preliminary to any intelligent dealings with her on our part, that we should know whom her spokesmen speak for, ' when they speak to us, whether for the Reichstag majority or for the military party and the men whose creed is imperial domination. "We have spoken now, surely in terms too concrete to admit of any further doubt or question. An evident principle runs through the whole program I have outlined. It is the principle of justice to all peoples and nationalities and their right to live on equal terms of liberty and safety with one another, whether they be strong or weak. Unless this principle be made its foundation, no part of the structure of international justice can stand. The people of the United States could act upon no other prin ciple and to the vindication of thi principle they are ready to devote their lives, their honor, and everything that they possess. The moral climax of this, the culminating and final war for human liberty, has come, and they are ready to put their own strength, their own highest purpose, their own integrity, and devotion to the test."
