' FREEDOM OF SEAS (Continued from page one) termination to go the wholo distance with President Wilson. All morning newspapers agreed that Joyd-0eorge 's and Wilson's speeches were all embracing as to war aims and speculate diversely on the effect of the out lines in Germany. What Russia will have to say on the Wilson message was also discussed in detail. The Times expressed doubt "that the president entirely appreciated the sit uation in Kussia and internal conditions in Germany. "Home proposals," the editorial con tinued, referring to the Wilson address "almost appear to assume a reign of righteousness on the earth is already within reach of realization. It is depend ent upon victory of tho allies." The News approved tho address throughout "even "freedom of' the seas." The Chronicle said: "It would be difficult to frame a more moving, a more sympathetic appeal to the best in stincts whether to the Kusisans orto the non-militarist elements in the Cen tral Powers." "Insofar as tho conditons demanded of Germany are concerned, we agree with America,' said tho Post, "but the other conditions require some modifi cation beforo our subscription to free dom of tho seas and the league of na tions." Philip Snowden, noted pacifist lead er, held the president's spCech "a no table advance over previous utterances" "His refercueo to freedom of tho seas and economic barriers should favorably influenco the Gorman liberal opinion," Snowden declared. "If the president had placed restoration of Alsace-Lorraine as a condition for which America would fight until it hod been achieved, ho would havo put nn insuperable ob stacle in the path of peaco.

"President Wil son's references to Rusisa show more .sympathy thati those of other states men but tho question is: Will the spiitch help toward achieving a general just peace?" M.

He says use" vtgttablt oils in cooking. And thousands cf housewives today are congratulating themselves that they have at last found in Mazola a vegetable oil which is even tetter than the old , cooking mediums. Mazola is a pure product from American corn. It browns food quickly, preventing that greasincss and soppiness which used to be so prevalent in fried or sauted dishes. And since Mazola does not carry taste or odor from one food to another h can be used over and over again a great force for economy.

Three hun dred forged titles to California land were revealed today by Theodore Kytka, criminologist, in a secret in vestigation opened a week ago by the United states government. With the revelation that Kytka bus turned over to United Rtates officials sen-pstionit! evidence of alleged land frauds, ii became known that tho gov ernment has mapped out an elaborate program for settling thousands of acres of land after the war. This land, it is believed, will be turned over to soldiers now fighting in Europe and particularly .to those who through being wounded or through mental strain, unable to return to the professions they followed before enter ing the service. As a result of Kytka's findings the government will take steps immediate ly to bring about the seizure of the land. ' ' The land frauds were perpetrated some eighteen . or twenty years ago through dummies, forged signatures and applications filed in the names of people that never existed, thousands of acres of valuable California land wore- acquired, it is alleged. The land was later sold to large corporation? throughout tho state, it is declared. The titles theso corporations possess to the lands are said to bo worthless, inasmuch as the parties from whom they thought ther were purchasing the land did not at any time own it. Large lumber companies will be the heaviest losers if the government wins the suits it contemplates. American Army Clean Is Report of Chaplams By J. W.
