President's Determination to
Treat Latin-America "Upon
Terms of Equality and
Honor5' Bears Fruit.
RELATIONS ADVANCED
BY WILSON'S STAND
United States on Improved
.- Footing With the Smaller
States to South.
Washington. Jan. 8. (WASHING
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL.)
Official Washington Is strong-Iy con--vlnced
that political and trade rela
tion between the United States and
South America are now being ad
vanced as they have not been for many
decades. Long standing suspicions
and prejudices are being removed, and
the nations of South America are re
ceiving a broader vision of their fu
ture. This strengthening of relations be
tween the nations of America has been
brought directly to the public mind
through the Pan-American Scientific
congress in Washington, which was at
tended by a distinguished array of rep
resentatives of the Latin-American
republics, from both official and unof
ficial life and which adjourned tonight.
Secretary of Stale Lansing took oc
casion In informal conferences wl:h
the leaders of South American tbougnt
tu show the advantages of giving con
sideration to conventions that will biti.l
the countries of the western continent
to policies of peace, of mutual respect
and of common resistance to aggres
sion. The exact form of the secre-
- tary's proposals and their scope is
less lmiortant than the fact that these
suggestions have been widely recipro
cated. Distrait Zs Bemoved.
History Is likely to give lace recog
i nitlon to the service performed by the
Wilson administration in cementing
relations with Souetj .America and re
'T moving distrust of the Intentions of
this tountr jr. JThi a , has been accom
plished -oy a-Consistent policy of fair
, treatment, 'and at the same time gi'
' lug repeated expression to sentlmen'.s
ot good wilt
Early in his term. President Wilson
made a speech at Mobile, Ala., in
which he declared that the day of ag
gression on the part of this country
has passed, and that in dealing with
the lesser countries the United States
must prove itself their friend and
champion "upon 'terms of equality and
honor."
That has been the basis of treat
ment of the smaller countries. For
the first time. In the consideration of
a problem of deep concern to all Amer
ica, other countries were invited to
help in finding a "way to compose the
irouDies or unhappy Aiexicu. The t-
tempt brought no tangible results it
the time, so far as Mexico was con
cerned, and, was derided by certain
elements at home, but It is generally
recognized that the A-B-C negotiations
as they have been popularly styled,
have added much to good will with
bouth America.
Trade XsspxuulbUltiss Emphasised.
fa. - I-.. . i .
The European war. interruptinc
usual trade channels, has also had ?.ni
effect in giving thought to new mar- I
gets in soutn America. Trarric in war
munitions has been so attractive and
the volume of trade with the allies
has been capable of such wonderful
expansion that American business In
terests have given less attention to
new markets at the south than many
experts believe they should give.
The munition trade, it Is pointed
out. will one day come to an end, while
South American commerce that might
hve been built up with a .'lttle more
attention Is permanent and constantly
expanding. So the administration,
through different mediums, has been
laying the foundations for develop
ment of trade In harmony with devel
opment of a larger understanding and
mutual good will in diplomatic Inter
course. The gathering of South American
diplomats, scientists and savants in
this broader atmosphere is therefore
Of unusual significance and amounts
to much more than an exchange of
civilities. It Is one of the steps to
ward a policy resting upon 'equality
and honor."
. " OasollM Tax Proposal Opposed.
Whether or not the auggeatlon of
President Wilson and Secretary Mc
Adoo Of a tax on gasoline and th
horsepower of combustlou engines has
had anything to do with sudden' al
vances in the price of gasoline, is
something not directly Involved In the
proposed Inquiry of Increased cost, but
there la a suspicion among many of
ine men woo xnaae revenue laws tha
tnis may oe one or in influence
With gasoline prices leaping upward
there is a natural Increase of protest
against levying an-impost tax upon it.
That the big thinkers -Vho preside at
the gasoline councils of war may have
counted upon this as one means to
ward off congressional action in that
direction Is believed likely.
The popularisation of the automobl'e
bringing it into the everyday life of
the community as a necessity, make the
proposed tax tho target of strong op
position, and a number, of the Demo
cratic leaders. are frankly opposed to
It. They believe there are other pref
erable -sources, for new revenues, and
that It would be a mlstak for the
f party In power to levy new burdens
" i , on the automobile.

Great black clouds of smoke mingled
with ashes are pouring from the moun

"VYlth a party of explorers I ascend
ed to the summit of Vesuvius today.
Dull rumblings, sharp Internal de
tonations and explosions which caused
the sides of the crater to tremble
blended into a continuous roar.
Because of the heavy smoke blanket
that hung about the sides of Vesuvius,
the city of Naples. Naples bay and the
country about the foot of the mountain
were Invisible. Kven the sun was ob
scured from sight.
The Kaiser Is Kept
Entirely Isolated
All Reports of BTatwe of German Em
peror's Illness Are Mere Guesswork;
Even Berlin Doesn't Know.
Paris. Jan. 8. (1. N. S.) There are
the best of reasons for stating that all
reports as to the nature of the kaiser's
illr.ess are merely based on surmise.
All that Is officially known by the al
lied governments is that the emperor
is completely Isolated, which In Itself
lb regarded as sufficient evidence that
ht Is seriously til. To say that he is
suffering from cancer is merely guess
work, however.
The most complete secrecy surrounds
the imperial bed chamber and even resi-
t j dents of Berlin are unable to obtain re
liable information.

mans out of a trench corner they oc
cupied in a heavy assault last night,
the French war office reported tonight.
The scene of the fighting was between
Rehfelsen and Hircstein, in the Hart
mannswetlerkopf region. Aside from
this Infantry skirmishing in Alsace
and British artillery action southeast
of Armentleres, reported in official
dispatches tonight, there has been an

Cltitens' Posse Organised.
This afternoon a report was cir
culated that rioters planned an at
tack upon Struthers, which up ti
that time had not been guarded by
the soldiers. A posse of 200 citizens
was arm?d and guarded the -bridge
from this city to Struthers. A charge
of dynamite was fixed under tho
bridge ready to destroy the span
should such action be deemed neces
sary to prevent the rioterj from en
tering the village.
Before the .rioters, probably 500 iu
number, could get to the bridge the
militia charged upon them and they
scattered. Struthers citizens, however,
maintained their watch at the bridge
and a posse will keep a cyard . stU ,
Efforts this afternoon to bTtnft
about a settlement with the S000
men at the Republic Iron & Steal
company and the Sheet and Tub-)
plants failed. The officials of the
two companies declined to discuss
the riots or the strike. State Medi
ator Croxton arrived today and will
try to bring about peace.
The Youngstown Sheet & Tube com
pany paid off 8000 employes today,
while the troops guarded the plant.
There was no trouble.
Merchants who suffered in last

Investigations to Begin Monday.
Three investigations of the rioting
are promised to get under way Mon
day.
The state fire marshal has ordered
deputies to investigate the Incendiar
ism, the county coroner was to open
an Inquiry into the killing of an un
identified boy, and the state federation
of labor plans an investigation on its
own account.
The 6500 strikers were determined
to carry their fight to a finish. The
two concerns employ nearly 15.0Q0 men,
now thrown out of work by the strike.

Also Reported Apoplexy YlcUm.
San Francisco, Jan. 8 (U. P.)
Emperor Yuan Shi Kai's monarchy in
China may be tottering to an early
fall. .
Toklo cables to the United Press
tcday said he had been stricken with
apoplexy and is in serious condition.
Trailing this message came a Hong-
Kong cable to tne cnirra World, a
lecal Chinese paper, saying Yuan had
tendered his resignation conditional
ly, that he had nam ed a premier, and
that Yuan himself would hold office
only nominally until April, when a suc
cessor would be chosen.
Neither was confirmed. Local
Chinese thought the conditional reslg
nation report was merely a sop to
quiet the revolutionary spirit abroad
In several Chinese provinces. At any
rate, they said. Yuan has no idea now
of forever relinquishing his power
he feels secure In the thought that
April would see him back in power
even more firmly entrenched than he
now Is.
Meantime, stories filter through
over apparently censored cables Indi
cating that the revolution has actual
ly started and that attacks have al
ready been made on the Imperial
troops.
Official Confirmation Lacking.
Toklo. Jan. . (U. P.) No official
confirmation was obtainable tonight of
a report received earlier In the day

German-American Relations
Considered Satisfactorily
Settled by Last Two Notes.
Washington, Jan. 8. (U. P.) The
United States is virtually ready to
center its attention on English-Amer
ican relations as affected by Incidents
which have arisen during the war.
The formal protest against British
seizures of mall to and from the Unit
ed States forwarded to the London
government was said tonight to be
only the first step of the state de
partment toward a complete under
standing with England on the various
differences between the two countries.
These include ship seixures, the con
traband situation and refusal to per
mit cotton to go to Germany.
TJ. 8. Demands Conceded.
In the Frye note Germany concedes
practically every demand mad by the
United States. upon Its being made
public today, diplomatic officials com

ilarity of its concessions warning be,
fore torpedoing and security that
should be accorded passengers before
sinking a ship.
Comparison a. so was drawn between
the Frye notes and the voluntary Ger
man statement made In writing to
Secretary Lansing by German Ambas
sador Bernstorff yesterday, in which
the German government emphasised
its agreement with the United States'
attitude regarding submarine warfare
and promised hereafter to adhere
strictly to thla attitude.

Washington. Jan. I. (WASHING- 1
TON BUREAU OF THE JOURNAL) '
With only feeble opposition and no at- , -
ilort to secure a roll call, the Ferris
water power bill passed the house late.
this afternoon. The vote came after A
substitute by Mondell of Wyoming.-1;
was voted down. Mondell. for nearly
two days has personally occupied :,
practically half of the entire debating
time offering amendments which were' .
voted down one by one. No hostile
amendment was adopted and in . Its if.
final form the bill was little changed
from the way It was Introduced I by " :
Representative Ferrla. : . s
All the time desired for debate was :';
allowed in the committee cf a whole.1 -Efforts
to amend centered in propos-V '
als to turn half of all receipts from,
lower rentals directly to the states
and providing an appeal from the ln "
terlor department to the president n'f "'
leasing contracts. Each was defeated,:;,
by more than two to one.
Opponents of the. bill devoted thejr-" .
time mostly to elaboration of state's
right theories. The Portland Water
Power conference was referred to :
debate by Ferris as a handpicked af--"
fair, and nothing was said in lis do-j-ftnae.
Representative ginnott of Oregon
declared himself unopposed to the -.
main objects of the bill but denounced
the rental feature as a subterfuge f or t
imposing atax on water power. The
bait of turning half into the recla-r;.
