DOOR IS LEFT WIDE OPEN Only Conference Bearing on legis lative Programme Is With Sen ator Kitchin on Details of Sew Revenue BUI. WASHINGTON.; Jan. 24. President Wilson made two visits to his office in the Capitol today lot conferences, in spite of criticism of his course voiced In the Senate yesterday by Senator Jones, of Washington, and repeated freely in the cloakrooms by other Re publicans. The Senate remained in session while the President was seeing callers in his office Just outside the Senate Chamber. The door of the room was left open, and Senators passing- in and out could hear snatches of his conversation. Many of the Democrats stopped In at least for a moment to shake hands with him. Many Visitors Seen. On previous visits the President's conferences have been devoted entirely to parts of his legislative programme, but today he had appointments with several men and women outside Con gress, including Mrs. William Cummins Story, president-general of the Daugh ters of the American Revolution; Prank P. Glass, vice-president of the Amer 'ican Newspaper Publishers' Associa tion, and Mrs. George Bass, of Chi cago, chief of the women's bureau ot the Democratic National Committee. Leaving the White House after lunch. Mr. Wilson spent an hour in his office at the Capitol and then went for a long walk with Secretary Tumulty. Details of Revenue Bill Discussed. On his return to the Capitol he walked through the lobby back of the Senate chamber, stopping to Bhake hands with several Senators. The only conference today having a direct bearing on the legislative pro gramme was with Majority Leader K-itchin, of the House. Mr. Kitchin told the President in detail of the reve nue bill agreed upon by the House ways and means committee, the gen eral features of which already have been approved by the Administration, and of efforts being made to speed up the legislative machinery. and, worse even than that, they are making some of the subjects of their enemies take up arms against their own country. . v "AH this has been done and no neu tral power has been able to stop it- No neutral power, indeed, has made any protest against it. We must then take other means to secure the future peace of the world. Conquest Not Desired. "We have rejected the German offer to enter into negotiations, not from lust of conquest or desire for shin ing victories. We have rejected it not from a spirit of vindictive ness or a desire for revenge, but because peace now would mean a peace based on victory. It would be a peace which would leave the roil itary machine unbroken, with the halo of success surrounding it- It would leave the control of that machine in the hands of the same men who for a generation prepared for war, who would make the same preparation agaio and who would choose their own time to plunge the world into the hor rors which we are now enduring. "Our aim is the same as President Wilson's. What he is longing for we are fighting for. Our sons and broth ers are risking their Hves for it, and we mean to secure It. The hearts of the people of this country are longing for peace; we are praying for peace for a peace which will bring back to us in safety those who are fighting our battles, and a peace which, will mean that those who will not come back have not laid down their lives in vain.

George W. Tlppens was exonerated of the charge of threatening to commit a felony when he appeared before Dis trict Judge Jones yesterday in answer to a complaint sworn to by a neighbor, Daniel Miller. Miller said that Mr. Tlppens had fired several revolver shots at him and had made numerous threats against his life. Mr. Tippens asserted that he had shot at some ducks when Miller was 100 yards away, hidden by an embank ment and out of range, and denied that he had ever threatened the man's life. Judge Jones took the case out of the hands of the attorneys before It had progressed far, with the declaration that he did not believe there was any merit in the contentions of thencom plainant. The judge declared that he did not believe that Mr. Tippens had ever shot at Miller, or that he was the kind of man who would commit a crime. "Leave him alone and he will leave you alone," he told Miller. Mr. Tippens had been a sailor in the Spanish-American war and participated in the battle of Manila Bay.

School Director Says Men Xaturally Select Pretty Women to Teach. CHICAGO, Jan. 24. Male high school principals are "only human," Jacob M. Loeb, president of the Board of Edu cation, said tonight In explaining why he agrees largely with the indignant charge made at a Board meeting yes terday by Mrs. George P. Vosbrink. a member, that principals In selecting teachers paid little attention to mental equipment and much to charm of face! and figure. "You would think they were filling up a musical comedy chorus instead of seeking fit guides for children, pro tested Mrs. Vosbrink. Mr. Loeb said: "It is only human that the high school principals, who are men. should consider these qualities In a woman." SHIRKING DUTY CHARGED (Continued From First Page.) as the settling of private disputes by the sword ha3 now become unthinka ble, so, I think, wo may hope that the time will come when all the nations of the world will play the part which Cromwell described as his life work to act as constable and keep peace. That time will come, I hope. "But this whole question is not an abstract question for the future. It is a. question of life and death now. In Judging whether that result can be secured by his methods, it is impossi ble for us to forget the past. For gen erations humane men. men of good will among all nations, have striven by The Hague convention, by peace confer ences and by all other means to make war Impossible, or at least to mitigate the horrors of war. When war comes, by what means can these barriers built up against barbarism be made effec tive? They cannot be preserved by the belligerents if any of them choose to ignore them. It is only from neutral states that effective sanction can be given to them. Neutrals Charged With Doing Nothing. "What happened? At the very out break of the war the Germans swept aside every one of these barriers. They tore up treaties which they them selves solemnly signed. They strewed mines in the open sea. They commit ted every atrocity on sea and land against The Hague convention, which they themselves 'had signed. They made war on women and children. They destroyed neutrals as ruthlessly ais they did their enemies. They are at this moment driving the population conquered territory into slavery. RUSH TO HAWAII IS ON Great Northern and Matson Boats . Fully Booked for Two Slonths. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24. (Spe cial.) How the hotels in Honolulu are going to care for the large number of travelers going to the islands' Is a question which is being asked by steamship officials with all seriousness. The Great Northern, with more than half a thousand travelers, . and the Matsonia with half that number, left California ports today. From now for the next two months all accommodations are taken on the Matson steamers and the Great North ern for Hawaii, and It promises to be the blgrgest tourist season the islands have ever seen. Tourists from the East are coming out in larger numbers than ever, and are turning to California and Hawaii Instead of the resorts along the Gulf Coast, according to all pas senger agents. RATE CASE IS DISMISSED Crown Willamette Paper Company Loses Fight on Paper Tariffs. OREGON! AN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Jan. 24. The Interstate Com merce Commission today dismissed the complaint of the Crown Willamette Paper Company against the Santa Fe Railroad, in which lower rates were asked on mixed carloads of news print paper, wrapping paper and bags shipped to Phoenix, Prescott and grouped points in Arizona. The Santa Fe, however, is directed to put into effect an 80-cent rate through Portland and Stockton to Phoenix to meet the Southern Pacific rate and 90-cent rate to points north of Phoenix as it offered to do during the argument of the case. J.klix. Jan. 24. (By wireless to Sayvllle, N. Y.) The newspapers com ment today on President Wilson's speech, and virtually all of them ap preciate the President's sincerity and exalted humanitarian spirit. Thus the conservative Kreuz Zeitung says that Germany, having maintained peace for more than 40 yars and having now stretched out its hand for peace, can therefore accept the appeal. It, how. ever, considers it doubtful whether Russia will accept the message in the same spirit, as alien races there have In no way enjoyed safety of life, lib erty of worship or social evolution. In addition, it points out. the peace conditions as set forth In the entente's last note are hardly reconcilable with the President's programme, since they contain among others annexation of German territory, the annihilation and partition of Austria-Hungary and Tur key, the surrender of the German mer chant navy, and Germany's financial collapse. The Overseas News Agency, which gives out for publication a summary of the views of the press, quotes the in dependent National Taeglichs Rund schau as saying that the entente s note oarefully avoided ther mention of "Ger many," substituting the "German na tions (peoples) as If the oerman union had already been annihilated agaiitst'the will of the German nation by brute force. The Rundscha; de clares that President Wilson's efforts will be without result so long as the entente insists upon "the continuation fof the war until Germany's annihila tion." Destruction of Germany Seen. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung objects to the message and declares it was in spired by preconceived anti-German irieaa and that the application of its principles would mean the destruction of Germany ana ner ames. tv T.okal AnzeiErer calls the Presl dent's statement "a very remarkable and exceptional document. which however. Is of limited practical im nortanee." A sordine- to the Lokal Anzeiger, President Wilson apparently overlooked the fact that a large numoer or me ideas outlined in his address had al roariv been reflected by the entente in its last note in reply to. the United States. "Thus." says the paper, "the shade of King Edward would protest against the idea of abandoning me cngusn principle of the balance of power and of aggressive coalitions and would equallv protest against the neutraliza tion of the important thoroughfares of the ocean, such as the Strait of Gibral tar, the Suez Canal and the English Channel." Humanitarian Spirit Appreciated. The Lokal Anzelger, however, appre ciates the "humanitarian spirit of the message, but asks whether it will be able to Influence the world at the moment, when "ten states, who against the promise given to Mr. Wilson, plan our annihilation. prepare a lerrioie common attack that is intended to ac- comnlish'this annihilation." "At the present lime, it continues. the onlv language which seems ap propriate is that of cannon, since it Is our enemies who want to understand no other language." The Vossische Zeitung points out that President Wilson's ideas, no doubt, will find an echo in the country where the philosopher itant wrote nis iamous book on "Perpetual Peace." It eays that his ideas on freedom include the rejection of the balance of power ana the rejection of aggressive coalitions, and are identical wtih the principles underlying the German foreign policy for a long time. The paper, however, contends Presi dent Wilson's statement, does not ap preciate the sincere endeavors of the central powers to terminate the war. and makes no mention of the dissent ing answer given by the entente to Germany's peace offer and asks wheth er the principles of autonomy, self government and free access to the seas are to be applied also respectively to Finns. Indians, Lithuanians, Courland ens and to the Strait of. Gibraltar, Singapore, the fauez Canal. Ideas Held to Be Like Germany's.

As to the equality ot nations and the freeaom or tne seas, those have always been the aim of Ger man policy." Germanla asks whether certain ideas enunciated in the President's speech Imply a change of the German political system, but says that this is improb able, as the message Itself sets forth the right of self-government of all na tions and that no nations shall be al lowed to impose upon others its form of government. The paper doubts whether under present circumstances the President's utterances will be able to change the hard facts, and concludes: "Our reason tells us that our next task is to gain a peace, which guaran tees our existence, our honor, our lib erty of evolution, as stated in our note to our enemies on December 12. But these very rights are jeopardized by the entente. The Tageblatt funy indorses the gen eral principles of the message and coil' siders that there ought to be an obsta cle against "the Russlf ication of Con stantinonle." It declares that the problem of Gi braltar, the Suez Canal and other strategical positions ought to be taken into consideration. The Socialist Vorwaerts says: "The President of the United States, in a DOGS OFF ON LONG TRAIL ELEVEN TEAMS OF HUSKIES MTJSH WAY. WINNIPEG TO ST. PAUL. essage to the Senate, has laid down principles for future European peace which are as much acceptable as a basis of discussion for the governments of the central powers as the war alms laid down in the entente's reply, which were impossible of doubt for them." The Vorwaerts declares that the President's message is "partial neither to the central powers nor the entente, but is "neutral and Inspired by the wish to serve the cause itself." The central powers are of the same mind as President Wilson in the wish to secure a lasting peace at an early date, the Daner declares, adding: We want autonomy ot nations, out we do not want that Interpreted 1 fashion which changes the principle Into its verv opposite by Jeopardizing the right of the German nation to me free determination to its own late.

The newspaper gives available figures of casulties and continues: "If the total losses are calculated about 2,000,000, the German reserves would still number 7.000.000 out of the 9.000,000 with which the war was begun.
