"We'll fight!"
This Was the, answer of -Senator
Norris today to the report that Sen
ate progressives would compromise
on their proposal to amend, the Sen
ate rules in exchange for desirable
committee assignments.
"No compromise' is acceptable,"
Norris said.
Similar statements were made by
Senators Johnson of California',
Kenyon of Iowa, and Borah of Idaho,
who form the' bulwark of the pro
gressive strength In the upper
House.
It is as yet too early to predict the
outcome of- the rules fight, which
promises to be as spectacular as the
fight on '"Cannbhlsm," led by Norris
in" the 'House. Referring Vie -Nor-

The prospect, today was that the
committee will, report it out, I shall
demand hearings on the resolutions,"
Norria said.
The prospect today was that he
Rules Committee would report the
resolution out In amended form soon
after the new session eels under
war- Instead of providing that no
chairman of any of the eight Im
portant committees named In the res
olution shall be a member of any
other of these committees, the reso
lution when reported to the Senate
will allow a chairman to be a mem
ber of only one other committee
named, and will provide, that con
ferees shall not be selected by the
seniority rule.
"Such a compromise would not re
ceive my support." said Senator Ken
yon. "I doubt If any other of the
Progressives would favor it."
Thus far the fight has been con
ducted in friendly spirit. The Prog
ressives are receiving more attention
at the hands of the stand-patter,
than at any time during recent year.
Drop In Itegutarly.
"They are dropping In regular)!
to see 'If something can't be done'."
Senator Borah said today.
"They learned nothing from 1812."
said Senator Johnson, "but we shall
do our best to teach them."
The fight still seems to center on
Senator Penrose. Progressives were
alive to the possibility that their ef
forts to defeat the Pennsylvania Sen
ator as chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, when the Republicans organ
ize the Senate, may be defeated bv
Democrats who see in the election of
Senator Penrose to this office a de
cided advantage to their prospects In
lZO.
"There Is danger In having the fight
center on Penrose." Norris said. "It
is not Penrose, but the system we
wish to defeat"
Project Defeated.
"When the fight on Cannunism was
won there was a proposal to unseat
'Uncle Joe as speaker. I did all 1
could, and we were successful In de
feating this project. We all recogniz
ed that it waa not Cannon that was
objectionable, but the system. Had
the system remained and Cannon
gone, another Cannon inevitably
would have come up. Since the sys
tem waa defeated, there was no dan
ger and Cannon remained.
"The same thing is true now. If
there were a secret ballot on organi
zation. I am certain that the stand
patters would throw Penrose over in
thi hope that the removal of this
personal target would save the sys
tem from destruction. There is dan
ger in allowing the right to revolve
too exclusively around Penrose. Pen
rose, without the system, would be
no menace at all."

The Times .prints below a statement of facts regarding
the proposal to apply $800,000 of the recently collected War
Work fund to thererection of a home for the local Young
Women's Christian Association.
The facts gathered by The Times seem to indicate that
this use of the funds was not anticipated either by Mr. Cor
coran Thomi who had charge of the local War Work fund
campaign, or by Mr. Mott or Mr. Fosdick, who were con
nected with .the national campaign.
The facts, as collected by The Times, speak, for them
selves: OFFICIAL AUTHORIZED STATEMENTS.

MILK DEALERS ASK
TO BOOST PRICE TO
18-1$ CENTS QUART
Several milk distributors in the
the Food administration to raise the
a quart.
Clarence R. Wilson, District food chief, today indicated that the re
quest of the dealers would be denied.
"Reports made to the Food administration show that a fair profit is
being made on milk selling at 17 cents a quart in Washington," he stated.
"Economic conditions do not justify an increase in milk prices."
According to information received today by Mr. Wilson, milk is selling
for an average of 19 cents a quart throughout Maryland and food officials
believe the request of the Washington dealers is based upon the fact that
milk prices have increased in Maryland.
Mr. Wilson told The Times today that the price of milk in Washington
probably will remain at 17 cents a quart through the winter.

"Peace must be sternly Just. Ger

Referring to his stand in the com
ing elections, the premier said:
"I won't lead the government if I
am to be subject to the old party con
spiracies and Intrigues."
The premier Indicated that he fa
vors punishment of the Kaiser when
he said: "We should so act now
that men In the future, when they are
tempted to follow the example of the
German rulers, would know what is
awaiting them In the end."
Mr. Lloyd George continued: "Is
nobody to be punished for the crime
of the war? I mean to see that the
men who mistreated our prisoners
shall be made responsible. But I do
not want, when the war Is over, to
pursue any policy of vengeance."

'SEA FREEDOM'
By ED L. KEE',
(Coprricht. lilt, by the United PreM.)
LONDON, Nov. 29. Definition of
the phrase "Freedom of the seas" is
the most important problem before
the world today. In its relation to
the League of Nations, it forms the
basis for the chief point to be set
tled by the great forthcoming world
peace conference.
Responding to a request for
their opinion of this all-important
problem, leaders of British thought
today revealed a wide divergence of
views. Great significance Is attach
ed to this fact as a result of the ac
tion of the allies in amending Presi
dent Wilson's famous fourteen points
so as toc permit them to enter the
peace conference without having
been1 committed, to any. deflaltloH 'of

Answers Chen.
Following are- the answers to the
request made by tbe United Press
for the British view of what the defi
nition should be:
By ADMIRAL, LORD BERESFORD
The British 'fleet insured victory,
Without the British fleet the whole
world would be under the domina
tion of Germany. The German view
of 'freedom of the seas would par
allel their view of freedom on land
Before the war. America objected ta
some of the principles of our block
ade. Directly it entered the war, it
adopted the same methods and help
ed us. The league of nations Is no
counterpoise to command of the
seas by the British fleet. The Brit
ish empire will never consent to give
up command of the seas, but would
gladly welcome . tbe assistance of
Kngllsh-speaklng nations to retain
that command.
By II. C. WELLS.
Freedom of the seas means a
guarantee by the league of nations
of transit without discrimination in
freights and fares over all seas and
International land routes, free of dis
criminations and extortions by par
ticular nations or combines of priv

ies. By G. BERNARD SI1AW.

"I am not afraid of the gallows aa

Labor, which charges that these men
were Instrumental in obtaining wit
