Mr. Bratton notified Mrs. Smith last evening that she had n-on the 1918 slogan contest. When the board of governors met at the Imperial Hotel at t P. M. the slogan contest was the firtit business considered. On Sunday ami Monday all but about 60 of the 12. 000 slogans submitted were eliminated.

Competent Austrian authorities an swered that the first condition was an unconditional surrender of arms. Both the Montenegrin ministers remained in Cettinje and the negotiations were carried on by intermediaries. Arms Literally Laid Dowa. "The arms to be surrendered are all modern. The Montenegrins able to carry arms will form into groups and literally-lay down their rifles. Control of the country will be as sumea Dy tne Austro-riungarians, so that the whole territory may be searched to impede formation of bands. "The entire male population will be concentrated in certain districts. All cities and other localities and means of transportation, especially railroads, will be handed over to the Austro- Hungarians." All the Berlin morning papers ex press great rejoicing at the surrender of Montenegro. While the compara tive unimportance of the conquest from a military standpoint is not overlooked, its political consequences, it is de clared, will be far-reaching. Xlrholaa Wisdom Praised. 'One does not need to overestimate the significance of the new event,'. says the Tageblatt. "As a matter of fact, it is the smallest, from a mil itary viewpoint, and politically the weakest, of our opponents that is put out of the combat, and its surrender af fects only a tiny portion of the mighty fronts held by the allied armies. But the consequences of this capitulation go far beyond the borders of its direct military meaning. It says to all the peoples of the earth that Nicholas pre fers to place his future fate in the hands or his enemies rather than to entrust it further to the huge union of powers with which he. up to then. was bound lor lite or death. The Tages Zeitung. which, in com mon with most of the other papers. praises King IMcholas as a wise poll tician, says: "That precisely this shrewd and sen sible King considers it best to subject himself to the grace of the conqueror. Austria-Hungary, can hardly fail to have an effect upon the other Balkan states. German government late today grant ed permission to 32 Scandinavian mem bers of the party to return to their homes through German territory. It is expected that they will leave to morrow, crossing Germany in a sealed train. Twenty-five Americans, includ ing Dr. Aked and the business staff, have so far failed to obtain permission. Louis P. Lochner, of Chicago, secre tary of the peace board, and Mme. Schwimmer visited the German consul general at Rotterdam and asked him to vise American passports. The con sul expressed his willingness, but said that he was unable to induce the Ger man military authorities to extend the permission. Mr. Lochner thereupon telegraphed to James W. Gerard, the American ambassador at Berlin, as fol lows: "Absolutely necessary that every thing be done to get the peace delega tion back through Germany. Please urge the foreign office." No answer has yet been received from Ambassador Gerard, and Dr. Aked. Mme. Schwimmer and Mr. Loch ner are undecided as to the next move.

President Wilson is ulanning to assume personal leadership "n the fight for a stronger Army and Navy. So many reports have reached him -ot confusion over the is sue before' Congress and of the uncer tainty of the outcome that he has de termined not only to - go before the country in public addresses, but to confer further on the subject with leaders of the Senate and House. Representative Hay and Representa tive Padgett, chairman of the House military and naval committees, respec tively, have informed Mr. Wilson that it will be from six weeks to two months before the committees will be ready to report any Army and Navy appro priation bills. Bryan Will Be Ignored. While this work is going on he pro poses to do his utmost to solidify senti ment among the people and members of Congress in favor of the plans drawn up by the War and Navy Departments. Friends of the President represent him as being undeterred by the open opposition of ex-Secretary Bryan and other pacificists, and by differences among advocates of National defense over the exact plans to be adopted. He is said to be firmly of the opinion that the programme prepared by Secretaries Garrison and Daniels is the best which can be offered at this time. Plans for the speaking trips will be prepared as quickly as possible. Social Programme May Be Changed. If necessary . the President may change the White House social pro gramme mapped out before Christmas. Congressional machinery was in full motion today toward the formulation of the bills which Anally will be drawn and brought 'to a vote as a result of the Administration's programme for strengthening the Army and establish ing a definite military policy for the Nation. Before the Senate military commit tee, the War Department's plans were reviewed by Secretary Garrison, vir tually as he presented them ' to the House committee last week. Major General Leonard Wood, former Chief of Staff and now Commander of the De partment of the East, will appear to morrow, to be followed by Major-Gen- eral Sarter. retired, author of the most recent Work on the military philosophy of the' United States. Plea for Wide Latitude Made. The trend of Secretary Garrison's examination by the members of the Senate committee indicated less opposi tion there to the plan of the continental army than had been shown in the House committee. Mr. Garrison again urged that the President be allowed wide dis cretion in the organization of this force, which, he said, was a task to be accomplished only in the light of ex perience. Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the committee, with the reservation that he foresaw many obstacles to the continental army scheme and had not committed himself to it, suggested that it should be submitted in the form ot a general authority conferred on the President, the work of organization to be carried out under rules and regula tions laid down by the War Depart ment. Secretary Garrison agreed to do this. Extravagance Not Found. Questioned about a suggestion made before the committee by Miss Jane Addams. that a committee be appointed to determine if the best possible re sults were being obtained from pres ent expenditures on the Army, Mr. Gar rison said he could find no evidence of extravagance in the existing sys tem. He disclosed that for two years he had been endeavoring to learn for purposes of comparison what foreign powers spend on their armies, but had been unable to get accurate informa tion. He expressed the opinion, how ever, that correct figures woum snow the situation to be about similar to that of any American institution as compared to a foreign one of a simi lar nature. Describing the regular Army as a 'highly-polished, costly 'diamond," the Secretary said Army machinery would operate for a much larger force at a greatly reduced per capita cost.-""; '" ' Mr. Garrison expressed strong op position to payment of National guardsmen by the Federal Government. "The cne thing that has prevented the working out heretofore of an ade quate military policy,"' he said, "has been the attitude of the state troops. If you put them on the Federal pay roll we will never get a sensible mili tary policy. General Scriven, chief signal officer, before the House committee placed the producing capacity of American aero plane factories at 20 complete ma chines a day. The United States cer. tainly could count, he thought, on sev eral hundred machines a month in time of war. He urged that at least 18 aero squadrons could be created under the proposed increase in the regular Army. urging the repeal of restric tions of existing law requiring student aviators to be unmarried officers un der 30 years old. the General said un der this law there were only 668 eli gible officers in the Army. The Euro pean war had shown, he declared, that aviation duty was no more hazardous than any other work on the firing line. Tvercoat weather, men; . w . you'd better look through these fine garments.
