The peace parades that had been planned for the border cities along ithe great lakes have been aban- Idoned. The great celebration was to have taken place in Ghent, Belgium, province of East Flanders, which Is +just now the hotbed of the war. It had been proposed to hold an ex hibition there and five million dol- |lars had been expendeq for this pur- pose before the war. It was a most distinguished com- pany which sat in the historic halr in Ghent during most of 1813 and all of 1814 and with dignity and often with deep emotion discussed the problems which should end the “Whar of 1812” and initiate the be- ginning of lasting peace and amity, despite the doubt thrown upon such a happy condition in the saying that “treaties are made to De broken.” The American negotiators were John Quincy Adams, James A. Bayard, Henry Clay, Jonathan Rus- sell and Albert Gallatin and Bayard had been sent to St. Petbrsburg early in 1813 to consult with mem_ bers of the Russian government 1n rezard to the latter’s offer of meai- ation, but when the matter was pre- sented to the British negotiators the good offices of the ‘“Russian Bear” were politely and firmly declined. The British representatives were lord Gambier. Henry Goulburn and William Adams. After the Rus- sian episode there followed the pro- longed speeches and diplomatic sparring and it was not until Deec. 24, 1914, that the treaty was final- 1y signed. Ocean travel was tedious in those ante-steamship days and it was not until Feb. 17, 1915, that the treaty reached and was ratified by the Senate. It was formally proclaimed by President Madison on the following day, but General Jackson was still fighting in the far South, as neither he nor the British knew of the signing of the convention and days after the final- ity of the agreement for peace the Battle of New Orleans happened \with all its dramatic details. —— The amount of ore handled on the Great Lakes each year amounts to 45,000,000 tons. FAKE HOLDUPS AND BURGLARIES IN ATLANTA Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 24.—Chief | Beavers of the Atlanta police de- partment does not believe all the stories of hold-ups and burglaries that are reported to him. He does not think the “wave of crime' is so bad as it is painted by the sensa- tiona] press. The chief quotes two instances where reported hold-ups were investigated and it was found that the “victims” were financially short and had framed up stories to account for the money being miss_ ing. It is also a common belief that at least two reported crimes recently laid to “burglars” were not really burglaries, but one clearly the suicide of a man deeply involved financially anq the other the visit of a young society man to a home where he had no business, which re- sulted in his shooting by the head of the family. And then a Dacre fation Ten: {ry who —nor sh¢ vest to ug social seg ‘lid, only & Hostile Aircraft Dropped Bomb On Dover; No Damage (By Associated Press.) London, Dec. 24.—A hostile aero- plane dropped a bomb over Dover this morning and then disappeared, according to a statement this after- noon by the official press bureau. The missile fell in a garden and ex_ ploded without damage. The aero- plane was seen only a few seconds and passed out over the sea. The British aircraft which ascended did not see the enemy apain. The weather was cloudy and foggy . SMALL DEALERS WANT WAR TAX RETURNED Jacksonville, Dec. 24.—The col- lector of internal revenue is having his troubles again; and this time with the honest, law-abiding tax- payers, who, ignorant of the require- ments of the act imposing the emer- Zency revenue tax, have sent in money when they owed nothing, and are now clamoring for him to pay it back, when he has no authority. Under the act tobacco, cigar and cizarette dealers whose annual sales of these commodities do not reach $200 per annum are exempt from the tax imposeq for the sale of these commodities. Hundreds of small dealers throughout the rural and sequestered sections of Florida sent in money for stamps, in a hur- ry, to avold the penalty which at- tached after Nov. 30, where nonm- compliance was proved. Today they are getting wise to the fact that they are exempt, and are calling by scores for the return of the money.
