SO LACK OF CONFIDENCE
Weii)NJTos, March 9. The reelec

to-day by Hepresentatlve Doremuii of
Michigan, chairman of the Democratic
CorutrcMtlonal campaign committee. "In
fp!fd'' rcporta that Democratic leaders
ure lonlng hope Mr. Doremus character
lied unfounded. His statement fol
lows "In certain Inspired quarters sedulous
tttrmrtx are being; made to rreate the
Impression that despite the tremendous
popularity of President Wilson the Dein
pent entertain plight hope of winning;
the net Congress. One Indication of
thl propaganda shown by the wide
publicity that has attended the an
nouncements of nepresentatlves Pace of
North Carolina, Kagle of Texan and
he rwuod of Ohio that they will not seek
reelection.
Of cour.e the North Carolina and
Tesas districts are sure to send Demo
crat; to the Sixty-fifth Congress, and
the fume may be said of the Toledo
district. It can safely be predicted that
rteprteentatlve Fherwood will be suc
Mfiied by a Democrat. In fact I eon
rider the election of a Democrat In the
Toledo district as one of the certainties
rf the campaign.

"H'hat Impress a me more than uny

ha'.e ncer votid the Democratic ticket
frankly mow their Intention to vote and

Mr. Wllt-on because they realise that the
President's hands would be tied If a
republican Congress were elected.

In New York city were discussed by

avoided by the Judiciary Committee
making a report to Speaker Clark with
a recommendation that Mr. Marshall be
cited to appear before the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia for
contempt, without formal action by the
House Itself.
In either event, the situation would
be brought to the attention of the Presi
dent. If the President should decide to
forestall pot slide action of the House by
taking the case Into his own hands, or If
Mr. Marshall should decide to resign be
cause of his clash with the legislative
branch of the Government, the House
probably would be content to take no
further actloh.

these possibilities Is getting serious consideration.

MUNITION SITPLY IS KEY
Ncrnard H. Tlldder. editor of the

cotumn this morning a letter from Prof.
Kuno Francke, of Harvard, urging that
tho United States Government "enforce
peace," by Issuing a declaration to both
the warring factions In Kurope sug
gesting a basis on which to conclude
peace and announcing that in the event
this suggestion Is not nccepted the
I'nlted States will actively aid thu other
side.
The peace terms Prof. Francke sug
gests Include assurance of the restora
tion of llelgltim and Northern France
and the Independence of Poland. In case
of nniAacceptatice by tlermany, the pro
fessor would threaten (lermany with
aiding her enemies "In every possible
way, even at the risk of war," to force
such conditions upon her.
In the case of the Allies he suggests
proposals leaving the territory of Ocr
many and her allies Inviolate and "as
surlng a sound economic basis for the
future peaceful development of the great
t entral Kuropoan Powers." If Great
Hrltaln declines ho urges that the Allies
be cut off frmi munitions and other war
supplies to force acceptance of the terms.

For those willing to pay the price, the Mason &
Hamlin Piano offers values beyond comparison.
Ftnt, the tone quality of the Mason & Hamlin it un
equalled, and it to generally regarded by competent judget.
Second, a longer life of tone it assured by our patented
Tension Resonator system of construction than is otherwise
possible.
Third, the touch, or action, is so scientifically and deli
cately adjusted that it responds to the desire of the player
without imposing physical fatigue.
For these reasons, brought about by a willingness to
spend enough money to build the most supremely beautiful
of all pianos, the Mason & Hamtin has earned the distinc
tion of being the
