lyould maka Interesting and sensational

Tha ttaldwIh-Cox controveray nlao hAa
developed n split In the rankn nf tha Mate

Senator Sproul declared that tha Attorney

to tho effect that a member of the House
ahould be got for Ualdwln at any cost waa
nothing; mora than a drenm and "of about
the aamo accuracy an other statements made
by Mr. Drown," It was officially stated In
thla connection that on thn day of the al

would not speak of It but for the fact that

"Mr. Drown Is not a member of the
Union League, although he was an appli

Then Senator Sproul launched another
attack on the record of tho Attorney Gen
era!. Hfl said:
"A good many Democrats have become
Republicans for ravnnua only. Twenty
years ago the Hon. Francis Shunk Drown
was a Delaware Democrat, but In the last
twenty yeara he haa drawn down In fees

not to speak of retainers received from po
litical litigants, probably mora than has
been earned by any other rcnmJylvnnlnn.

"This Is not God's wor; It Is man's war
So long an there are armies and so long as

So spokn Anton Lnng. Chilstus In
Oberammergau'B world-famous "I'nsslon

her 1(00 population Oberammcrgau ban

Dlrllng. the Saint John of tho play, who
Is now an artilleryman in the Herman army.
Lang desired that greetings bo sent to his
friends In America and that denial be made
that he had Joined a machine gun company.
"I have never been to tho front." said
this bearded man. whose fare most nearly
resembles tho features of thn Saviour. "I
am still alive. Plenso tall my mnny Amer

"Fifty of our people have fallen," Lang
continued sadly "How shnll It end? I sen
no end I sea another spring nf fighting,
bloodier than ever. And If neither side Is
lefeated then mom fighting, with millions
being killed and millions of others working
do other millions shnll bo killed, with some
of thosn millions becoming rich In the war.
"I recall ChrlBt's words, 'Who takes thn

that ho who stnrts war shnll perish.

WASHINGTON, .Dec. 26.
Hasty examination of Germany'ti reply to
President Wilson's penco suggestions, led
one of the foremost Administration officials
today to believe tho entente Allien will not
be satisfied to meet tho Teuton proposal.
Thin official declared that he In strongly
of theo pinion that "the proposal would bo
unsatisfactory to the Entente Allies Inso
far as liopo of arranging a penco conference
nt this time Is concerned."
He expressed tho vlaw that tha Allies
would not consent to a penco meeting based
on nny such answer as was given In the
brief reply by Oermnny. Moreover he held
that Germany had directly dodged the re
quest nf tho United States for something
spccltlo In tho way of peace terms.
The Clcrman.,answer nquared with Am
bassador Hcrnslorft'n recent statement that
Uormany was willing to state her terms at
a round table session.
Preliminary examination Indicated to
Administration otllclaln that tha Entente
Allies would ba unwilling to Join such a
session unlcsx they could get something
more definite on which to operate.
WAR COUNCIL MEMBER OPPOSES
MOVE FOR PEACE AT THIS TIME
PAIUS, Dec. 26.
"In my opinion, If France and ourselves
entered Into peace negotiations under ex
isting conditions, we should bn nations In
bondage." declared Arthur Henderson, of
the Ilrltlsh War Council, In an address
at the Nutlonal Congress of the French So
cialist party.
Uoth Mr. Henderson nnd O. H. lloberts,
a member of tho Ilrltlsh House of Com
mons, united In saying that tho war must
go on until full guarantees have been ob
tained for u lasting peaca.
Applause greeted the words of both
speakers.
Mr. Henderson said In part:
"Wo have now reached the most dan
gerous and difficult period of tha war.
During tho next few months tho democra
cies of England and Franco are to be tested
as never before. Our stupendous losses,
our unprecedented sacrifices, our horror
of war, our love of peace may lead us to
mortgage tho future. I cannot tell you
how many months and what sacrifices
stand between us nnd victory. The choice
today Is between untimely peace with
years of fear nnd a few months of suffering
with n lustlnK pence."

LONDON, Dec, 26.
Ilrltlsh hostility townrd President Wilson
appeared to hnvo been considerably mollified
today. The change was attributable to the
latest Interpretations of motives which Im
pelled dispatch of the American peace note.
London now regards It n having been sent
with tho main purpose of forcing acrmany
to state her peace terms and to carry the
Implication that unless these terms are
"satisfactory" America may enter the war
on the side of the Allies.
There was, however, conslUerable con.
tlnued criticism of what was termed the
Presidents "obscurity and infelicity" of
language and his apparent reversal of prin
ciples since May 37, when he stated that
America was not concerned with the causes
and objects of the war.
Tho declaration ..i the Swiss statement
that the Swlsa Government waa "In touch"
with President Wilson five weeks ago was
regarded an conclusively disproving the
almost universal belief that the American
proffer waa a mere appendix to the German
peace note,
Tn view of tho unanimity of opinion among
the Allies, rapid progress Is being made to
ward framing a reply to the noto of Presi
dent Wilson, It was stated In dovernment
circles today.
Tho Alllea" reply may be on Ita way to
Washington by the end of the present week.
Russia haa reaffirmed her determination
in fight until Germany la vanquished and
the Allies can dictate their own peace terms,
A statement to this effect, which wa Is
sued with the approval of the Russian For
eign Office, haa been Issued In Petrpgrad.
Advices from the Russian capital say that
it js generally regarded there as Indicating
what tha contents of tha Allies' reply to
President Wilson's nota will be.
- TOKIO, DeJ. tt.
Newspaper comnnnts today indicate that
tha reply of the Allies to President Wilson's
noto will ba marked by the following charac
teristics: First It will be courteous but firm
In tone.
Second. It will reiterate the princi
ples contained In tha speeon vf Premier
Lloyd Gears In tha British Parliament
oner week ago today.
Third. It will rtafllrm the solidarity
of the tintente.

HEAVY MAILS HOLD UP
CHIUSTMAS PARDONS
Convicts Who Were Going Home
Forced to Spend Holiday '
In Prison
Warden Ilobert McKenty. of tho Eastern
Penltrntlary. and his 107 turnkey", watch
men overseers nnd assistant wardens, are
doing' all In their power to tejUn the reason
of the delay of pnrdolis from tlarrlsburg,
which prevented the release of three pris
oners on Christmas Day. Warden MoKenty
does not know whether the papers were
held up In tho Chrlctmas congestion of .the
malls of whether the Governor failed to
add his rtlnnnluro In lime.
The Stale Hoard of Pardons granted the
pardons at Ita hearing. In Harrlshurg last
week, and Ihe release of the men Is only
a metier of waiting for tho formal papers.
The three pnrdolis, explained tho Warden,
nere not extraordinary, but similar to par
dons granted almost every month. Usually
the papers nre forwardeel promptly and
the prisoners were much disappointed when
their promised freedom could not be real
ised as n t'hrlstmns gift.
TO PREVENT PLANTING PHONE POLE
Mr. Case Halts His Auto on Ground Where Bell Company
Wants.to Mar Landscape After. Arrest He Decides
to Appeal to Courts for Protection
Morris Case likes to see the daylight
wjien he looks from the window of his
home at 4I0C Umbrla street. He Is em
phatically opposed to a crop of poles on
tho sidewalk, which, h say. Obstructs his
vision. Therefore when several workmen
of tho Dell Telephone Company attempted
to plsnl a pole near his door Case man
tied his Kord nuto, rode over on the side
walk and covered the hole for tho pole
with his car. As there is already a polo
belonging to the Philadelphia Electric
Company on his property Case contends
that ho had good cause for audi nctlon.
When the workmen told him to "bent It"
Case "honk honked" his defiance, while nd
mtrlng neighbor stood around nnd voiced
their npproval. The fact that the men had
n permit to erect the polo Hd not deter Case
In tho least The workmen complained nnd
Policeman Kaufman took Case before Magis
trate Price, It was a difficult "case," the
Judge remarked facetiously If. ij ,.
prisoner he had n slight suspicion i. "
against the law to rld nut'.! ra-.V,' ?
make, on tho sidewalk, and advith.'? yl

Although Ckao conducts a cigar err... . .
ft blacksmith shop nnd Is al,0 , ft""
mobile business, he said he woud tr
find time to carry out tho Magistrates s,,.
.testlon nnd h waa discharged.
Case then sped to his home and shnv.iaj
much of the dirt disturbed by IhVworkmli
back into the Mr$Zl
rived and urged him to leave The wotN
men then resumed illiraln. i.ii- i. woT-
