. effected and the work apportioned PEACE LOVERS IN GERMANY ELKTED Pleased by American Action on “Naval Holiday.” HOPE FOR G00D RESULTS Proposal Coming From a Neutral Na- tion Would Not Be Open to Suspi- cions of Hostile Intent Like One Emanating From British Sources. Berlin, Dec. 16.—The large majority by which the “naval holiday” resolu- tion passed the American house of representatives has attracted inter- est and favorable comment from peace lovers in Germany and the at- titude of the United States on the pro- posal that international naval con- struction be discontinued for one year is regarded as one of possible far reaching influence. The question just now is at a stand- still, so far as Great Britain and Ger- many are concerned, and American initiative at this juncture would have many advantages, in the opinion of certain German naval officers. Unlike the proposals to this end put forward by Great Britain the sug- gestion from a neutral nation to dis- continue building battleships for twelve months would be open to mo suspicion of hostile intent. Must Be Unanimous. Addressed to all natioms, it would avoid one of the main objections to the British plan, which is that neither Great Britain and Germany nor any other two nations can afford to stop building battleships, if other coun- tries continue their naval program. It need’ contain no “jokers,” such as the exception allowing England to build battleships for Mediterranean service and to accept three battle- ships or their equivalent, while other nations were observing the naval truce. The American proposals, if made, it is pointed out, should be worded so clearly as to leave no room for eva- sion by diverting funds saved on bat- tleships to the construction of cruis- ers, torpedo boats, submarines or air- <hips, or by providing for accelerated construction in following years. There is naturally. little or no sym- pathy at the admiralty for the idea, but in government circles outside the admiralty such a proposal might not be altogether unwelcome. TAUGHT TRICKS OF TRADE National School for Beggars in Opera- ! tion at Chicago. i ! Chicago, Dec. 16.—This city is the ‘headquarters of a national association -of. beggars, according to officials of the police department. Lijeutenant -James V. Larkins of the detective bu- ‘reau announced that the organization ‘maintains a school in one of the poor neighborhoods of the West Side where recruits are taught the tricks of the trade. “The Gray Cats” is the official name of the organization, say the police. Although headquarters are in Chica- g0, “camps” are said to be maintained in other large cities of the country. Methods of deception are part of the curriculum of the training school, according to the police. Recruits are taught how to “make up” as cripples and invalids. They are shown the use of acids in making healthy hands " and arms appear scalded. PiCTURE VIEWED BY THRONG Great Crowds Eager to See Recovered “Mona Lisa.,” Florence, Italy, Dec. 16.—So great is the crowd of people striving to ob- tain a view of Da Vinci’s painting, “Mona Lisa,” that the authorities have been obliged to remove many of the busts and statues from the Uf- fizi gallery to prevent them from be- ing overturned and broken in the struggle to get near the picture. Resentment is vigorously expressed in many quarters at the action of the Italian government in returning the picture to France. HARVESTER SU!T IS BEGUN Missouri Attempts to Oust Company From State. ‘Washington, - Dec. 16.—Missouri’s fight to oust the International Harves- ter company of America from \tihe state because of alleged violation of the anti-trust laws began before the supreme court.
