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."

WHO Villi BE MATRON
OF THE REST ROOM?
Surface Indications Now Are That
Mrs. John Kearney and .Mrs. Agnes
IhristenHou Have Advantage.
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.

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.

CANADIAN PAPERS
DISUKE SPEECH
TORONTO, Jan. 23. 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
