Was 206 to 81
Washington, Feb. 22. Supporters of
the Reed "bone dry" amendment to the
postal bill won the first round of the
wet and dry fight in the House yester
day, when a proposed amendment by
Representative Saunder of . Virginia,
which would have nullified the Reed
proposal, was defeated, 21)0 to 81, De
feat of the proposal was greeted with
wild cheering, hand clapping and . cries
of "bono dry! bone dry!"
Representative Webb of North C'aro
lina, father of the nation-wide prohibi
tiort resolution, voted for the Saunders
proposal. The Saunders amendment
would have made the Reeil amendment
applv only in states that are now "bone
dry.". In effeet then, this would not
change the present situation in any
state. Some members who favor prohi
bition have opposed the resolution be
cause they feared its passage would
really be a setback to the dry cause.
Others opposed to prohibition, were ex
pected to support the measure.
In addition to making absolutely dry
about a score of states which now forbid
the manufacture or sale of liquor, but
permit its importation for personal use,
the Senate amendment would bar liquor
advertisements from the inails in states
'where such advertising is prohibited.
For instance, Hood's Saraparilla, the
standard blood purifier, is recommended
for conditions that are scrofulous or de
pendent on impure blood.
Peptiron Pills, the new pepsin, mix
and iron tonic, are recommended for con

cally anemic and nervous.
Many persons suffer from a combina
tion of these conditions. They ere

Six American Newspaper Men Are
Be Taken on Spying
Charges.
Xew .York, Feb. 22. Six additional
American newspaper men are expected to
be arrested within another week in con
nection with the l!erman spy plot, the
uncovering of which has already resulted
in the detention of George Vaux Bacon
in England, and the arrest of Charles W.
Wunncnberg and Albert A. Sander in
Xew York.
Information from England to the au
thorities here is that the British officials
are not inclined to treat the Americans
in the plot as spies, if they will tell all
they know. Bacon is to be brought back
to this country us a government witness.
The president's address, as it is now
tentatively planned and barring any un
expected events between now and the
time he goes to the eapitol, will contain
the information that he contemplated no
drastic action without further consulting
Congress.
No change of policy regarding armed
ships has been announced. It could not
be learned here whether the American
line vesterilav, in dispatching one of its
liners the Mongolia unarmed into the
barred zone, acted with any assurances
from this government. The abandoning
of the St . Louis' sailing led to belief here
that that vessel, one of the fine-st in the
country 'h marine service, might be need
ed later for naval purposes.
On the heels of the sinking of the Dal
beattie, with two Americans ,on board,
there was a general lightening of tension

Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 22. IJemge
Washington, after a century and a quar
ter, still remains the pole star of Amer
ican foreign policy, declared Jacob (iould
Schurman, president of Cornell univer
sity, to-day 111 an address before the
University of Pennsylvania, which sua
pended its regular academic functions
tor exercises 111 celebration of Washing
ton's birthdav.
Dr. Kchurman rivalled how Washing
ton attended commencement at the Uni
versitv of Pennsylvania in ilav, 1773
then known as the College of Philade
plua m company with the other mem
bers of the second continental Congres:
Toward the conclusion of his address, Dr.
Schurman, after having discussed Wash
ington's pre-eminence as a soldier an
statesman, his Americanism and his in
sistence on American rights, said:
"How inspiriting is the example of
Washington to Americans to-day! One
more a great European power menaces
our rights. We are forbidden to sail our
ships or to travel where we will on th
high seas under penalty of being sun
without warning by submarines. The
German government draws lines across
the ocean, which is free to all, aiusays
to America: "Thus far slialt thou ome
but no farther.' Xow we recognize th
restrictions of a legitimate blockade an
the penalties of carrying contraband
these are fixed bv the law of nations
Hut apart from these limitations Ainer
lean ships and American passengers hav
a right to go where they will on all th
seven seas.
"Are there any who weakly advise-u
to forego our right in deference to the
German challenge? Would Germany,
ask, forego her rights if in her place
America without any warrant of law
had set aside a vast tract of ocean for
ruinous depredations on the commerce of
neutrals and ruthless attack on the lives
of non-combatants? Could any great
nation survive, ought any great nation
to survive, which cravenly yields its
rights at the summons of the aggressor?
I lie same law winch guarantees our
rights to territorial waters authorizes us
to sail freelv on the high seas. If bel
ligerents" are permitted to exclude us
from the oceans, why should thev not
also appropriate our territorial waters
or even march their armies across our
frontiers? The surrender of one nation
al right weakens and imperils every oth
er. Come what may our nation must de
fend its rights. And with united hearts
and resolute determination the Amer
ican people stand behind President Wil
son; and they will not tolerate either the
paralysis of American shipping or the
murder of American citizens.
"There is a third feature of Washing
ton's statesmanship which is especially
instructive at the present time," Dr.
Schurman also pointed out. 'I mean his
advocacy of military preparedness and
his general attitude to the questions of
peace and war.
"Though Washington was a great gen
eral and fought a. victorious war for na
tional independence he wag no glorifier
of militarism. On the other hand he
was equally removed from pacifism. He
regarded war as one of the inevitable
features of national existence. Listen to
the wie words he addressed to Congress
in his first speech alter re-election:
"1 eannot recommend to your notice
measures for the fulfillment of our duties
to the rest of the world, without again
pressing upon you the necessity of plac
ing ourselves in a condition of complete
defense, and of exacting from them the
fulfillment of their duties towards us.
The United States ought not. to indulge
a persuasion, that, contrary to the order
of human events, they will for ever keep
at a distance those painful appeals to
arms, with which the. history of everv
other nation abounds.- There is a rank
due to the United States among nations,
which will be withheld, if not absolutely
lost, by the reputation of weakness. If
we desire to avoid insult, we must lie
able to repel it ; if we. desire to secure
peace, one ot the most powerful instru
ments of our rising prosperity, it must
be known that we are at all times ready
for war.'
In this passage you have Washing
ton's whole philosophy of peace, war and
preparedness. Nothing truer or wiser
has ever been written, and Washington's
words are as true and wise and applic
able to-dav as thev were when he nttered
them in 1703. Undoubtedly- there have
been many changes in the century and
quarter that has since elapsed. Com
munications by sea and land have great
ly improved, intercourse with foreign
countries has increased, international re
lations have been multiplied. Hut hu
man nature is stiV-tantiallv unchanged.

stimulated by greater prizes, are more

"It Is a painful situation for America,
dedicated as she is peaceful Industry,
democratic government, and the promo
tion of the general welfare. War is a
contradiction of these high aims.' Yet
there is no gainsaying the truth of
Washington's words: If we want to se
cure peace wo must be 'at all times ready
for war.' Indeed, the saying is truer now
than ever before. For war to-day is con
ducted on such a colossal scale, and
makes use of such a vast and multiform
organization of economic and industrial
as well as military instrumentalities-,
that a nation unprepared to defend itself
might easily bo subjugated before it
had time to organize its resources and
bring its armies into action. Could
Washington, therefore, speak to us to
day he would more fervently than ever ,
nip I ore his countrymen to provtae an
adequate national army, to prescribe uni
versal military training for our young
men, and to organize thoroughly in time
of peace all the economic, industrial and
military forces which in time of war
would be necessary for the defense of the
nation.
"I want to consider, in the last place,
Washington conception of the relation
of the United States to other nations in
any form of league or alliance or concert
or (if you prefer the more modern lan
guage) in any kind of international or
gauization.
"Washington described the policy of
Ins administration in a letter which he
wrote to Gouvcneur Morris in December,
17!.". 'My policy,' he says, 'has been, and
will continue to lie, while I have the non
or to remain in the administration of the
government, to be upon friendly terms
with, but independent of, all the nations
of the earth; to .share in the broils 01
none; to fulfill our own engagement;
supply our own want and be carried for
them all; being thoroughly convinced
that it is our policy and interest to do
so. The same rule of conduct in regard
to foreign nations he commends as a
permanent policy in ihe 'farewell ad
dress.' Let us extend our commercial
relations with them, but have as little
political connection as possible. Here is
the classic passage: .
" 'Europe has a set of primary inter
est, which to us have none, or a very re
mote relation. Hence she must be en
gaged in frequent controversies, the
causes of which are essentially foreign
to our concerns. Hence therefore it must
lie unwise in us to implicate ourselves,
by artificial ties in the ordinary vicis
situdes of her politics, or the ordinary
combinations and collisions of her friend
ships, or enmities.
Our detached and distant situation
invites and enables us to pursue a dif
ferent course.
"'Why forego the advantages of so
peculiar a situation? Why quit our own
stand upon foreign ground? Why, by
interweaving our destiny with that of
anv part of Europe, entangle our peace
and prosperity in the toils of Euniean
ambition, rivalship, interest, humor or
caprice?
lis our true policy to steer clear of
permanent alliances with any portion of
the foreign world.'
This passage is not encouraging to
the advocates of international organiza
tions to compel peace among the nations. J
And it not by physical compulsion, at
any rate by the pressure of public opin
ion we Americans should, and 1 think do.
all devoutly desire to see peace perma
urntly established in the world. It must
be recognized that in the last half cen
tury the nations of the earth have come
into closer relations with one another
than ever before, that the welfare of
each is much more intimately bound up
with the welfare of all than in any pre
ceding period in the history of the world,
and that the preservation of universal
peace is a matter of individual concern
to each member of the family of nations,
America, for instance, being profoundly
affected and it may well be endangered
in wars in Europe, Asia or Africa.-
This is a change brought about by
listorieal evolution which, of course,
could not have been foreseen. The tremen
dous problem created by it has not jet
been solved. And though I profoundly
ympathize with the object of the -pro
mised league and concerts to enforce or
stablish universal peace, I am unable to
convince myself that any method hither-
o proposed of accomplishing that result
will le found either feasible in itself or
desirable for adoption by the United
States.
''Perhaps some progress might be made
f we focused attention on the fact that
every nation besides being exclusive so v.
ereign over its own territory and terri
torial waters has- also joint and equal
authority with everv other nation on
he high seas, which, as we sav, are
therefore free to all. On that actual
juridical basis it seems to me possible,
and indeed probable that an internation-
I structure might be reared for bring-
ng together the nations of the world
and eommisedoninir those with navies
jointly to maintain the freedom of the
ea and to restrain and punish any bel-
erent who infringed on the rights of
neutrals or violated the established prin-
plcs of maritime international law. In
thcr words, if you want to prevent
ars, naval internationalism is the most
opeful form of attacking the problem-
nd that for the reason that every' na-
ion share with all others joint ana
equal sovereignty over the high seas.
"Hut this suggestion of international
aval co-operation for the maintenance
f the freedom of the seas and the integ
rity of the maritime law of nations, so
far from disposing me to criticize Wash
ington's policy of abstention from parti
cipation in European politics, only
strengthens and conlirins , my ap
proval and admiration of it. It is still
true that America has no interest in the
European balance of power or no con
cern with the dynastic, racial and re
ligion struggles or with the territorial
ambitions and other rivalries which lead
foreign countries to attack one another.
Europe has a complex of political inter
ests which have -only a remote relation
to America. And it would certainly be
most unwise for us gratuitously to im
plicate ourselves in 'the ordinary combi
nations and collisions of her friendships.
or enmities. Our ccog raphical location.
our national interest and our history
and traditions still admonish us to fol
low the advice of Washington. Why, in
deed, should we to-dav anv more than
in Washington' time "entangle our peace
and prosperity in the toils of European
ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or
caprice'?"

JournaL
I am a woman detective. I was once
sent to decoy la desperado who was
making collections ostensibly for tbe
jhurcb. He was Aaron Burt he pass
ed under other names and at the time
wag working In the town of Edgerton.
I went there, learned that he was at
a certain hotel, and be was pointed
out to me in the reading room.
I entered tbe room and, going up to
him, said:
"Tbe Rev. Mr. Burt, I believe."
"I am," he said, rising and looking at
me suspiciously.
"I have understood that you bare
great success In .raising money for
churches, and I would like to know If
you would be willing to help me pay
off a mortgage on our church at Avon
dale." Arondale was a town not far from
Edgerton, and I bad beard that one of
Its churches was under mortgage, which
the congregation desired to pay off.
But I Intended this only as a means of
making ilr. Burt's acquaintance.
I described to bun tbe situation at
Arondale, stating that tbe people there
were well to do, but needed some per
suasive speaker to wake them up. I
added that be would ba paid for bis
labor, proposing that be receive tbe
contribution himself and deduct one
third of It for himself. Tbls I knew
would please blm! for tbere would be
no difficulty in his deducting his third
or, rather, of appropriating tbe whole
contribution. He manifested a wil
lingness to undertake tbe work, but
protested against receiving so much
compensation as third of tbe amount
collected. On no account would be
consent to deduct more than 10 per
ceut He was ready to go to Aron
dale as Boon as I said tbe word. I told
him that I would see the pastor and
tbe deacon and as soon as I could get
their consent would let blm know.
I pretended to go to Avondale, but
really returned to tbe sheriff, who bad
employed me. to arrange with blm as
to when and where be abould send the
force Intended to make tbe arrest. It
was agreed between us that be was to j
send one picked man to Edgerton, who
was to pass himself as a commercial
traveler. Tbls man's name was Lam
ed, and I was made acquainted with
blm, and we conferred together. I told
him to bring tbe largest sample trunk
be could find.
Returning to Edgerton. I told Mr.
Burt that everything had been arrang
ed at Avondale, but tbe evening select
ed for bis appeal for funds bad been
fixed for tbe following Sunday, four
days hence. He was not pleased at
this, preferring that the work should
be done at once. Tbe truth is he did
not care to remain in tbe same locali
ty for so long a period. I determined,
however, to bold blm If possible till I
could spring my trap. .
I laid myself out to please blm,
spending a good deal of time with
blm. I knew that be was not Inter
ested in matters of religion and did
not talk on religious subjects. I pre
ferred to choose other topics, in which
be would be more at borne, my inten
tion being when I had gained bis con
fidence to give blm to understand that
I knew bis true character, that I was
one of the same kind as himself and
desired to assist him In plundering that
I might share the plunder.
When I thought tbe time ripe I re
vealed tbe character 1 wished blm to
take me for by confessing that I ex
pected a share in the collection 1 was
to bring about I saw blm start, but
be did not take the bint openly, and It
was some time before be consented to
drop tbe parson and talk like tbe vil
lain be was. Then I told bim tbat to
gether we might reap a rich harvest
He caught at tbe idea and grew enthu
siastic over It
Having won bis confidence, I kept
holding up the rich hauls we would
make, I joining congregations and ar
ranging for addresses, to be followed
by collections, lie would disappear,
tearing me to repent having put con
fidence In a rascal.
When all was ready for my scheme
Lamed appeared at the hotel, and a
, sample trunk of enormous size was
carried to bis room. It was empty,
but only Lamed and I knew tbat I
told Mr. Burt tbat I was bent on tak
ing money from tbe commercial trav
eler and tbat I was already eugaged
in learning where be kept It Tbe
next day I Informed my pal tbat
Lamed bad gone out and left $500 be
tween tbe mattresses of bis bed. sug
gesting tbat Burt go Into bis room and
get it while I watched. Tbe door was
supposed to be locked, and I borrowed
a skeleton key from Burt with which
to unlock It, though Lamed bad pur
posely left it unlocked.
I took a position In tbe ball and after
pretending to have watched for some
time called Burt and told bim tbe coast
was clear, and be went into the room
for the money, ne bad scarcely done
so when I ran In and told bim that
tbe drummer was coming up to bis
room.
"Get In the trunk." I said. "It is
your only chance."
I raised tbe lid. and be got inside.
I clapped tbe lid down on bim and
lucked him In. Larned was waiting
In another room, and as soon aa I bad
secured tbe prize I called bim.
Before Burt was let out be was told
tbat be was covered and if he resisted
be would be shot He was armed, but
the odds were so greatly against blm
tbat he surrendered.

GREAT EDUCATIONAL DESIRE.
Is Prompting Hundreds of Thousands to
. Attend Night School
Washington, D. C, Feb. 22. There is
a great Americanization drive on all over
the country. Hundreds of thousands of
the adult foreign born of the United
States, who are candidates for citiien-
hip, are attending public night school
this winter in large numbers and over a
broader territory than ever before. The
reason is their desire to learn the English
language and obtain a knowledge of
American institutions and government
so that they may be qualified to enjoy
the privileges as well as assume the
duties and responsibilities of citizenship
when acquired.

citizens of the United States do not bear

The activities of the bureau of nat

now generally regarded as one of the
