TOWN TOPICS
By Robert J. Bender.
Washington. Jan. 22. (U. P.)
President Wilson is planning a shake
tip of the diplomatic service after
March 4. Custom decrees that till
American diplomats submit their
resignations at the close of every
presidential term and this Is expected
to offer the president his opportunity
to improve the diplomatic service,
"with less politics and more regard for
efficiency."
In this connection, there was an un
confirmed report today that Secretary
of State Lansing might succeed Am
bassador Walter Illnes Page at Lon
don. Deserving Democrats In the. diplo
matic service are scheduled to go. The
president has indicated his desire to
to elicit anything like an agreement
as to the raider's appearance. The
widest variance was developed, giving
additonal credence to the story of the
captain of the captured British steam
er Radnorshire that the raider had
armed and equipped at least one of
her captures, presumably the British
merchantman St. Theodore.
The South Atlantic today was liter
ally swarming with searchers for the
ship, or ships, responsible for the blow
at allied commerce.
Brazil added to her fleet of war ves
sels watching to prevent violations of
neutrality by detaching a number of
vessels from her fleet. They will pa
trol Brazilian territorial waters. Neu
tral merchantmen arriving at various
South American ports reported allied
war vessels almost constantly In sight
Five steamships variously reported as
merchantmen and cruisers were said to
be lurking between Frovoaco and
Tacare.
Chileans to Bo Patrol Duty,
Lack of any recent information lo
cating the Germans in adjacent South
American waters has so Impressed
Chile with the belief that the raider
has changed its field of operations and
that this new field may be the south
rn Pacific, that the Chilean navy has
been called on for vigorous patrol
duty.
Dispatches from Rio de Janeiro to
day carried vigorous denial of the
Brazilian authorities of reports that

Rumor Has Raider Sunk.
Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 22. (I. N. R.)
A German commerce raider, believed to
be the ship which wrought such havoc
among British shipping, has been sunk
in the Atlantic, 130 miles off Para, ac
cording to an unconfirmed report cir
culated here today.
The raider is said to have been sunk
by the British cruiser Glasgow which
was recently in port at Pernambuco,
The report of the destruction of the
raider came from Pernambuco.
It had previously been reported that
a mysterious ship, believed by many to
be the German commerce destroyer,
had been sunk off the Brazilian coast,
near Para, speeding through the At
lantic under a full head of steam.
The British auxiliary cruiser Edin
burgh Castle, which has Joined the
hunt for the raider, arrived at this
port Sunday.

Electrocuted by wires carrying 11,

Daniel was found lying on the floor of
the Sellwood sub-station of the Port
land Railway. Light & Power com
pany yesterday afternoon about I
o'clock.
The body was found by H. C. Ris
tau. another employe of the company,
who came to relievs McDaniel at that
time. From aft- investigation made by
Deputy Coroner Smith, it is believed
McDaniel had climbed to a rail to make
some repairs and fell against the wires.
No Inquest will be held.
The company dispatcher, who calls
the sub-station every hour, failed to
receive response at 3 o'clock, but did
not think anything wrong until Rlstau
telephoned about the accident.
McDaniel's body was taken to the
morgue by the Ambulance Service com
pany and an effort made to resuscitate
him, but to no avail.
McDaniel, who was about 35 years
old, had been in the employ of the
company for 15 years. He Is survived
by his mother, with whom he lived at

gravity of gasoline as now required by
law from 60 to 58 degrees.
Would Tax Gasoline Sealers.
The second bill provides that all per
sons or corporations engaged In the
wholesaling of gasoline, benzine, nap
tha or distillate, shall pay a tax to
the state treasurer. This tax is fixed
at one cent per gallon on all gasoline,
benzine or nap t ha and half a cent on
all distillate.
It is also provided that a tax of one
cent a gallon shall be paid on any mix
ture of gasoline, benzine or naptha
which contains mere than 25 per cent j
of distillate.
It is estimated that If this bill is en
acted it will produce an annual reve
nue of mors than half a million dol
lars. The tax is to be paid quarterly
to the state treasurer, and failure to
make the payments creates a debt due
to the state on the part of the whole
saler falling to pay.
Sweeney Introduced a bill regulating
the lights on automobiles, and provid
ing specifically that all auto lights
which may constitute a danger because
of their brightness or glare on the
highway shall be equipped with dim
mers which deflect the center of light
rays to the highway not more than 7S

Forbes presented a bill which comes
Into the house at the request of the
public service commission, giving it the
power to make full Investigation into
all interstate rates, both freight and
passenger, and regulations made by the
railroads in connection therewith.
This bill broadens the scope of the
commission's present power over pas
senger rates. It gives the commission
the authority to make full presenta
tion of all matters found as a result
of such investigations to the Interstate
Commerce commission and ask for re
lief. In other words the bill, had it
been a law in the past, would have en
abled the state commission to have
made direct effort to remedy the
Shasta differential situation which has
resulted in all tourist traffic being
charged a differential of J1. 60 by the
Southern Pacifio for passage over the
northwest lines from the east.

a stiffening of the resolve to fight on to victory or the bitter end, would seem to be the chief
result of President Wilson's efforts to hasten the end of the war in Europe.
This conclusion is reached after reading the Entente Allies' reply to President Wilson's
proposal for peace negotiations, although in some quarters it may be felt that there is
still a loophole for a continuance of peace discussion. Lloyd George, the British Premier,
supplements the stiffness of the allies' answer by saying, in his Guildhall speech, that "the
allies are still convinced that even war. is better than peace at the price of Prussian domination
over Europe," and that before anyone can "attempt to rebuild the temple of peace, they must
see that the foundations are solid."
In THE LITERARY DIGEST for January 20th, the leading article deals with the -entente
allies' response to President Wilson's request to the warring powers, and in the form of quota
tions from statesmen and leading newspapers gives an all-sided presentation of public opinion
on the subject.
Among other articles of unusual interest in this week's issue are:

The world is now going through a period of mo
mentous changes under conditions that tend al
most invariably to make every man and woman a
partisan on one side or the other in the great
struggle being grimly fought out between auto
cratic and democratic ideals. With the destiny
of our whole social and governmental systerri
hanging in the balance, we are so deafened by the
clamor of the advocates of these two conflicting
parties that we find if hard to know which to
follow, or what are the actual rights and wrongs
of the questions involved. Here the LITERARY
DIGEST comes to our aid with its cool and sane
discussions of these world-shaking events along
absolutely impartial lines, quoting from all sorts
bf periodicals without a shadow of bias. Reading
it, we are enabled to recover our bearings, to
judge values accurately, to rise above personal
and political viewpoints and to know things as
they are.
