PACIFIC PHONE MARSHALL 50SO HOME PHONE A 2112 The Most in Valu -The Best in Quality RUTH LAW WINS APPLAUSE RECENT LOSSES ALARMING Mr. Wilson Declares "Peace Is Going to Come to World Only Witli Liberty" Guns or Atlantic Fleet Boom Salute. NEW YORK, Dec. 2. on, speaking tonight -President "Wil at the banquet which was the culmination of the cele bration in honor of the permanent Il lumination of the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor, declared that he had thought for the last two years that "peace is going to come to the world only with liberty." "The peace of the world," Mr. Wilson added, "is not groins: to be secured by the compacts of nations, but by the sympathies of men." The President declared that the United States has a community of ideas with France, whose people presented I Eartholdi's statue to the United States, because "one republic must love an other." Spirit of Statue SiKniflcant. The President spoke of the signifi cance of the Statue of Liberty to the immigrants. He said he wondered whether the spirit typified by the spirit of the statue is truly represented here. The President said he noticed that the source of light for the statue "comes from the outsrde." ."The only light," he added, "that we can contribute to the illuimation of the world Is tne light that shines out of our own lives. We must illus trate liberty in our lives. With all due respect for those who represent nations not governed as ours, I do not think that nations ruled by small groups of men can be successful." "The world," he declared, "is en lightened by ideas and ideals and the sacrifices of men enable the worfld to go forward." Light to lie Continuous. The President gave the wireless flash which bathed the Statue of Liberty in light at 6 o'clock tonight. Bartholdi's famous symbol of American freedom, which has been for 30 years a token of welcome to the United States to mil lions of immigrants from every land, will be illuminated every night here after from top to bottom. The neces sary funds to install the permanent lighting system for the statue were provided by public subscriptions. Grouped around the President on the yacht Mayflower, anchored off Bedloe's Island, as he flashed the signal which turned on the lights, were Mrs. Wilson, Jules J. Jusserand, Ambassador of France; Madame Jusserand, high offi cials of the Army and Navy, and rep resentatives of several nations. Fleet's Guns ISoom Salute. "I light this statue," said the Presi dent, "with the thought that it may always stand as a symbol of our purpose to throw upon liberty, out of our own life as a Nation, a light which shall reveal its dignity, its serene power, its benignant hope and spirit of guidance." The great guns of a division of the Atlantic fleet boomed a salute as the Etatue flashed into view, outlined in white lights. Ruth Law, in her aeroplane, added a spectacular touch to the ceremonies of illumination. Spouting sparks and fire from the tail of her machine, she circled the lower end of Manhattan Island. A roar of cheers from the thousands gath ered in Battery Park greeted her as the letters "L-I-B-E-R-T-Y" outlined in electric lights were revealed on the bottom of the airplane. The course of the Mayflower was marked by the rays of the most pow erful searchlight in the world as the yacht's anchor was hoisted and the Presidential party headed for the Bat tery to disembark for the motorcar parade, which preceded a dinner in honor of Mr. Wilson and Ambassador Jusserand. JParty Attends Banquet. Close behind 'the Mayflower steamed the U. S. S. San Francisco with Sec retary of the Navy Daniels aboard, fol lowed by the U. S. S. Yankton, carrying members of Mayor Mitchel's committee of 200 and other invited guests. The passengers were discharged at the Bat tery, where electric motor cars were waiting to carry them uptown. Long ribbons of specially erected lights gleamed on either side of the thoroughfare as far north as Thirty third street. There the President and his party entered the hotel, where the banquet was held under an electric lighted canopy of red, white and blue. The funds which provided the light ing plant were raised by popular sub scription by the New York World, which also raised the money 30 years ago for the construction of the pede!.ii upon which the Statue stands. Besides the President, the speak ers at the dinner tonight were Am bassador Jusserand: former United Senator Chauncey M. Depew; Mayor Mitchel, Ralph Pulitzer, of the New York World; Henry L. Dougherty, president of the Society of Electrical Development, and Colonel John Millis, Corps of Engineers, U.' S. A. Friendship Comment Made. The French Ambassador, after read ing a message from the President of France, dwelt at length on the friendly relations existing between his coun try and th United States. He detailed the history of the events that led to the modeling of the statue by the con tributions of his countrymen, and laid stress on the fact that Bartholdi, the sculptor, evolved the idea as the result of an impression left upon him by the war of 18 1 0. which deprived him of v.:-. :v;:-.v:x-:x:.. - : ; - " , s : .

"Not to a man, not to a nation was the statue raised; not to a man famous and useful, as he may have been; not to a nation as great as she may be," the Ambassador said, "it was raised to an ideal an ideal greater than any man or any nation; greater than France or the United States the ideal of lib erty." JlnMge From i'oincare Read. The President was the last speaker at the banquet, which was attended by notable features of the evening was ! CO U N SEL'S VIEWS Lne reaaing ot a message lrom presi dent Poincare, of France, sent to the French Ambassador, Jules J Jusserand, in appreciation of Liberty's illumina tion. In the message he said; "In offering, 30 years ago, to the Government and people of the United States the statue which welcomes and lights those who land in America, France had wished to honor Liberty and the heroes fallen in her cause. It is for that sacred cause the French people battle and suffer today; they feel sure that they can always count on those friends of theirs in America, from whom they have already received so many tokens of sympathy and who have shown the world that they still are enamored of the same ideal." The President eaid. in part: "I would certainly be lacking in feel ing if I dil not express some of the things that have coroo into my thoughts as I have taken part in these cere monies. There are many moving cir cumstances connected with this day - connected with the things it recalls, connected with the things it suggests. I was reflecting, as we saw the light stream upon that beautiful statue. that its source was outside the statue. that it did not proceed from liberty, but proceeded from the light we were throwing upon liberty, and it occurred to me that, after all. It was a proper symbol of our life, because we can take to ourselves the dignity or liberty only as we illustrate the fact and the true spirit of liberty, and the only light that we contribute to the illumination of the world is the light that will shine out of our life as a Nation upon that conception and upon ttiat image. 1 Source Outside Statue. There is a great responsibility in having adopted liberty as our ideal. because we muet illustrate it in what we do. I was struck by the closing phrase of Mr. Pulitzer's admirable little speech. He said that there would come a day when it was perceived that the Goddess of Liberty will also be the Goddess of Peace, and throughout the laet two years there has come more and more into my heart the convic tion that peace is going to come to the world only with liberty. With all due and sincere respect for those who represent other forms of government than ours, perhaps I may be permitted to say that peace cannot come so long as the destinies of men are determined by a small group who make selfish choices of their own. Common Love Brings Peace. It is very true, as more than one of the speakers this evening have eith er said or intimated, that our long standing and delightful friendship with the people of France has come from a community of ideals and iden tity of purpose. One republic must love another republic just as one body of human beings must understand and sympathize with another body of hu man beings. There is a common pulse in us all; there is a common contact with life; there is a common body of nope; there is a common stock of res olution. All the world over the life of the individual means the same thing to him. It means opportunity not only. but it also means his relationship to others, and he comes to his full dignity only when he stands upon the level with others and, looking in his neigh bor s eye, knows that he belongs with him to a common, free community of purpose and thought and action. The peace of the World is not going to be assured by the compacts of nations, but by the sympathies of men. The President then told of a confer ence of foreign missions attended by him once, saying that it was for the purpose of wiping out the line be tween Christian churches in the work in foreign missionary fields. He add ed that he could not help saying that while he sympathized with the pur pose of the conference, he hoped that those who were converted in foreign fields would not come "and look at us." 3fr. Cummin's Plan Would Cause Financial Ruin of World, Says Attorney at Investigation of Transportation Problem. WASHINGTON. Dec. 2. Cross-exam ination of A. P. Thorn, counsel for the railway executives' advisory committee. continued today before the Congres sional committee investigating trans portation problems with Senator Cum mins questioning the witness particu larly about suggestions for Federal In corporation of railroads. Senator Cummins took the view that it would be necessary "to squeeze the water from railroad securities and make the basis of new capitalization the physical value of the property be fore the public would invest. That, said Mr. Thorn, "would re sult in the financial ruin of the world.' "In my opinion," said Senator Cum mins, "you never will be able to estab lish these securities until the people understand they are the practical meas ure of the values they represent." "I believe," said Mr. Thorn, "that in a Federal incorporation plan, stock without par value should be issued so that the relation of interests and assets of the old company should be main tained in the new." Senator Cummins said he believed that it was evident that securities must represent actual property value. "I think, he said, "that a helpful but somewhat painful surgical opera tion is necessary, but the sooner it is done the better for the patient. If you propose a legalized capitalization on the present basis, you will have raised an obstacle tnat I think cannot be overcome." CHICAGO. Dec. 2. (Special.)

"I can't complain: I've gained four and one-half pounds," said Henry Gehring. Jr. "But I'll be glad to get back again where I can eat what 1 want, when I want and where I want. It has been forbidding of getting a Dite or rood in between meals that has been a habit hard to cut out." Weight Lou Caonea Alarm. Health Commissioner Robertson. alarmed at the remarkable slump in weight which his experimental diet squad suffered after the attempt was made to cut the cost of meals from 11 cents to 8 cents apiece, hastened today to build up a weight-producing menu. Eighteen pounds lost by the squad since the beginning of the reduction Tuesday leaves the squad but nine and half pounds heavier than when it started the test. Hominy, codfish balls and buttered rice with stewed onions were the prin cipals of the meals today with which the Health Commissioner hopes to re gain lost weight for his squad. Mem bers of the squad declare they feel as well as they did before the beginning of the test and some of them attribute the loss in weight to excessive danc ing during the Thanksgiving holiday. A gain of six and three-quarters pounds, registered after the morning meal today, would indicate that the Commissioner's menu is to be effective. Seven Members Gflln. Weights of four members remained the same, while Dr. A. J. Stokes was the only one to lose. Seven members of the squad gained.
