Misstatement Made In
Connection with Cummings
White Tragedy in This City
Some of the statements published ves-
terday in the Capital Journal regarding
i the Cuaanings-Whitiiti!igedv are de
nied emphatically by relatives of the
girl. They state that Miss Kightliuger
was fully dressed at the time Cummings
entered the room in the hotel where the
girls were, and that she was not in
Cortland Sunday night with Myrtle
White but was at the home of her fath
er in this city. This statement appear

gathered up here:
Miss Kightlinger is the daughter of
E. M. Kightlinger and not of 8. C.
Kightlinger of 300 Miller street.
NaturaHy the prominence of Miss
Kightlinger in the deplorable affair due
to her friendship for Miss White, is re
gretted by members of the family who
are well known and resected residents
of Salem, and they desire only the real
facts and not unfounded reports published.

Times: It is difficult to see where it
(the note) can do harm. It may serve
to turn the minds of the belligerents to
peace.
Suu: The president makes plain his
intention to labor for the creation of
post-bellum conditions that in interna
tional transactions will involve this
country in a manner that it has hither
to scrupulously avoided.
Herald: The temptation to be the
president of humanity is great, but it
should not permit Mr. Wilson to forget
that he is president of the United States
and that to him have been entrusted the
vital interests of the American people.
World: President Wilson takes the
first definite step toward ascertaining
the terms upon which the belligerent
nations will consider peace- He has tak
en it in a manner to which no belliger
ent can well offer objections.

President Wilson addressed to the gov

Dallas, Texas. Journal: President
Wilson has spoken, seemingly, at the
psychological moment. The ap
peal, soundly based and strongly voiced
as it is, should more strongly direct the
tendency toward actual discussion.
Chicago Evening Journal: President
Wilson's note urging the belligerents
to state their peace terms will be hailed
by hotheads on both sides as a move
in favor of Germany.
