SENATE TO GIVE ITS
VIEWS ON PEACE
WASHINGTON: After Senator Ow
en had introduced a resolution to put
the senate's position, Chairman Stone
President Wilson's fourteen princi
ples for world peace and Senator Uor
ah had introduced another to record
thesenate's position. Chairman Stone
of the foreign relations committee,
announced the committee would soon
meet to agree on a composite drnft of
ihe senate’s views.
Speaking in support of his resolu-1
tion. Senator Owen declared “that j
congress should on its own motion
declare the opinion of the American
people in regard to this war and sup
port the president in his message of
January 8 and state the conditions
upon which world peace could be es
tablished.’’
Senator Borah's resolution de
nounces "secret diplomacy” and pro
vides that the national political and
economic rights of small and subject
nationalities be revered and consid
ered.
"The coining peace is not to be il
lusory and must be inspired by jus
tice alone.” that complete restitution
be made for all private property des
troyed and full reparation for all
damage done. The resolution also
provides that the "nations that have
declared themselves champions of
world democracy and of the liberties
of small and subject nations make
their position clear to the world by
pledging themselves to favor the ad
ministration of separate deliberative
representatives of all nationalities In
to the peace conference.”
CHICAGO AND ITS STOCK YAKDS
In Chicago, where the stock yards
are at home, one of the world's com
mercial phenomena and more famous
than the Pyramids, I don’t hear them
mentioned once a year. Now and then
when the wind is from the west and
; I am on the south side, I smell them;
! but we never talk of them.
When Rudyard Kipling, Queen Lii
jiuokalani, Prince Boris, Princess En
I lalia. Gaby Deslys, Marry Lauder.
Capt. Boy-Ed, Isreal Zangwill, Mrs.
Pankhurst. Li Hung Chang and Car
uso first came to Chicago, the very
first thing they asked to see was the
stock yards. They were surprised to
find that mose Chicagoans had no idea
where they were.
The foreigners think “the yards
stand in the loop, a sort of Nelson
monument or Kremlin; that Mrs.
; Potter Palmer’s boudoir looks out
lover Armour’s glue works, and that
the University of Chicago has a post
graduate course in fertilizer chemis
try. Then they find that the cab driv
er has to look in a street guide to find
has way out there.
Mistake not this to mean that we
are proud that we do not know more
about our stock yards. We aim to
know as much about everything as
we decently may.

Many parts of the western trout

at numerous places.' there being only

deserting in masses. Communications
are broken and few horses are avail

OOTHAM "TERRORIZED’'
BY AMERICAN BALLOON
NEW YORK: New Yorkers who
happened to be Raxing heavenward
one evening stopped, rubbed their
eyes and then thought of horrifying
stories they had jead of Zeppelin raids
on London. Floating majestically ov
er their heads was a huge cigar-shap-1
ed dirigible balloon at least 200 feet |
long.
Flights of airplanes over the city j
have become so common they fail to J
cause thrills, but this monster of the
air was something entirely i.cw. Close
inspection disclosed that it tlew an
American flag, but there were pessi
mists who maintained this migut be
merely German camouflage to allay
suspicion.
The dirigible first appeared over
South Brooklyn, then over down
town New York, and finally over Gov
ernor’s Island. Investigation brought
the information that it was on a trial
flight from the new fort at Rockaway
Point and that it had returned safely.
It carried a crew of eight men. At j
