PAPERS CAUTIOUS III COMMENTS 01! lIirSJPEECH British Press Takes Exception to "Peace Without Victory Statement"; French Call Ideas Purely Theoretical. DECLARES ALLIES MUST WIN LONDON, Jan. J 3. Newspapers cautiously commented on President Wilson's peace speech. Northclltre publications said: "Peace without victory" was Impossible. The Morn ins Post contradicted Wilson's state ment that neither side desires victory, pointing out that the kaiser's procla mations emphasized his determination to win. The liberal pres. disliked ref erence to the "freedom of the seas.'' It la generally believed the speech was Intended for American consump tion. The Pall Mall Gazette said Wil son's Ideas were purely theoretical "The nllles' victory Is the first essen tial fur safety. Lute we can talk per. marient peace at leisure" . The Times prai-ed him as the first Individual advancing a practical uni versal peace plan, but doubted Its suc cess. It said: "The allies mu.-t win for the attainment of the moral and ideal alms Wilson regards as indis pensable for a solid peace founda tion." PARIS, Jnn. 23. The French press frank! criticized Wilson's p'an. I. called the speech Utopian and held the Ideas were (inapplicable to Ger many and Pan-Gerananlsui. Officials were surprised because. Wilson did not recognize the criminal from the victim. The Matin faid: "We agree with Wilson's enunciated principles Wo must forcefully Impress the. fact upon the Hermans. It Is a d'iuMnn to be lieve persuasion can be effective." The Echo I)e Paris said; "Thin dec luratlon belongs to serene domain theories. Americans Imagining Frnnc.i Invaded and bleeding must under stand we cannot unreservedly Join this voyage Into the Azure."

Right now there is considerable speculation as to what woman will re ceive the appointment of matron of the city rest room. There are prob ably twenty women to whom the po sition would be acceptable and who have made formal applications, and it is expected that the appointment will be made at the council room tomor row evening. . From surface indications there is reason to believe that there are two women who have an advantage over the other applicants. They are Mrs. John Kearney, widow of the former chief of police, and Mrs. Agnes Chris, tiansen, daughter of H. J, Sflllman. Each of these women has a strong champion In a member of the coun cil and effort Is being made by each to line up the other members. There are quite a number of other deserv ing women who are applying and It may be that the selection will be from their number. The city Is preparing the rest room for occupancy again and It will be op ened soon. Some of the club women are favoring using the present rest room for Indian women and children and converting the old library room Into a rest room for white women. PA OF HER VICTIMS MANCHESTER. Eng.. Jan. 23. Ijibor party delegates cheer ed President Wilson for five minutes. G. J. Warder casu ally mentioned his name when opening the convention. The ovation was spontaneous and verv noisv. Following the Wil s.in demonstration, the conven tion overwhelmingly approved the action of Ministers Hender son. Hodge and Barnes in Join ing Dlovd Georare cabinet, de spit the fact that such an act violated the party s constitution. It was the most momentous labor partv conference In the history of British industrialism. Peculiar interest attached to the deliberations because Wilson's speech accentuated the Import ance of the discussion of various resolutions demanding immedi ate peace negotiations. Britain expects the party to defeat the resolutions demand ing peace negotiations, route the pacifists and demand a finish fight. TWO CENT DROP IN WHEAT BIDS CHICAGO, Jan.

Canada's newspapers are bitter against Presi dent Wilson's speech. The World says: "The presiuent s line woru are very smooth, sweet and virtuous theoretically, but Germany uttered I similar fine words when preparing t ravage Europe. Xow Wilson asks that no nation be humiliated, or face terms with a sting of resentment or bitter memory In them." The Globe said: "When Wilson asks the allies to sheath their sword and make disheartening peace with an enemy which glories In violations of international law and arrogantly claims victory, he need not be sur prised to discover that Lincoln's spirit has not yet perished from the earth." The Mall and Empire said: "If Wil son means by the freedom of the seas, that the seas be equally free to the commerce of all nations In war times, his remark Is merely laugh able." - '.POISON MONTH' IS DESIGNATED The month of February has been designated by the National Wool growers' Assoslation as poison month. During that month every sheepman in the country will be asked to put out 500 strychnine baits on his land or range. By this concerted method it is believed that an enormous number of coyotes can be killed and hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of sheep be saved. Promises have been received from enough stockmen to make sure that the practice will be general. Strychnine capsules of three grains can be secured at any dru;; store at an approximate cost of $l."i per thousand orders. Wealthy Berlin citizens bought willingly at extortionate pri. ces. Hotels clamored for the pro ducts. The woman obtained enor mous sums, promising future delivery but the police trapped her They are hunting for a man accomplice.
