Little Rock, Ark., Jan. 7.—An appeal for immediate military and naval pre- paredness on the part of the United States “against possible encroachments of European powers after the Buro- pean war” is made in a statement is- sued here today by W. F. McCombs, chairman of the national democratic + committee. “The United States will be the rich- ! est country in the world after the i war,” said Mr. McCombs. “Any of the ; Buropean powers will look with cov- etous eyes upon the wealth of the United States. There is 2 possibil- ity that, irritated by poverty, they may be led to make incursions against the peace and good will of the United States. We must be prepared to re- sist that. “I favor the creating of a naval power in the United States the equal of that boasted by any power on the globe.” Mr. McCombs declared that the sec- ond term plank concerning the pres- idency was not a mandate of the Bal- timore convention and may be con- strued either a recommendation to the candidate or a recommendation to pro- cure the passing of a national con- stitutional amendment.

London, Jan. 7, 5.09 p. m.—Two hundred and ten members of the Henry Ford peace expedition will reach The Hague at 11 o'clock Saturday morning. Arrangements were completed today to welcome them, The arrangements so far made for the party after reaching here include public meetings on Monday and Tues- day in the Grand hall in the Zoologi- cal Gardens. No restrictions have been placed by the authorities upon their proceedings, as was the case in Denmark. The attitude of the Dutch authorities toward the party may be described as benevolently passive. The official standpoint as laid down to The ssoclated Press correspondent today by high ministerial authority is that ‘Holland is a free country and Dutch iaw guarantees the right of assembly ‘without interference unless public or- der or morality is offended. Hence the government does not see the ne- cessity of interfering with public speechées by members of the Ford party in favor of peace. If they help toward that end, so much the better, although the official world is not san- guine in this respect. The American legation today authorized the follow- ing statement: “This legation will be delighted to extend to the Ford party as private American citizens traveling abroad all are en- titled. They will have the opportu- nity to see some of the treasures of Dutch painting and architecture and Aoubtless will have a peaceful instruc ;!{e‘stay in Holland as American tour- sts.” RUSSIANS ENJOYING HOLIDAY FESTIVITIEES Vorious Observances Both of a Social and Religious Nature. ““Petrograd, vla London, Jan. 7, 6.50 P. m—The war has been relegated tr second place for the time being in the minds of the Russian people by the holiday festivities in which they arr now absorbed.

The ~hurches were crowded with worship- pers, the high price of food has not seemed to curtail the celebration, since the people, because of the larger wages they are receiving and the abatemn* of extravagances in other directions have been able to Indulge in Christmar luxuries. Christmas trees, a popular feature of the festivities, were scarce because of the limited facilities for transportation to the city.

Boston, Jan. 7.—The freight situa- tion in New England, which has re- sulted in an embargo on many lines of shipment was discussed by raliroad officials, men at a conference called by the port directors and business transportation committee of the cham- ber of commerce. The port directors expressed . the belief that the real dif- ficulty was the absence of sufficient ocean shipping due to the withdrawal of many vessels for war pu rposes. R. Van Ummerson of the Boston and Albany said that 6,400 cars were head- ed for his road from eonbocuns lines. He added that if the road six Haven and Hartford cars were consigned to points on his line from places east of Pittsburgh. A. 8. Crane of the Boston and Maine said that between 3,000 and 4,000 cars were coming to his road from points east of Buffalo. Mr. Wood denied that the New Hav- en was responsible for any coal short- age in New England. He the opinion that relief from the gen- eral embargo conditions would come next week. President James H. Hustis of the Boston and Maine also told the .com- mittee that the embargo would prob- ably be of short duration. COTTON PRICES ADVANCE ON GALVESTON EXCHANGE Because of Increase in Freight Rates by Brililh Government. New York, Jnn T.—Reports from Galveston, today, that the Bflll.h gOV- ernment had fixed a cotton freight rater of $2 per hundred pounds, coupl- ed with the information that Great Britain was facing a serious cotton shortage caused an advance of several points on the local exchange. The reports in regard to the freight rates were afterwards denied from Dallas, where it was stated that the rater was firm at $3. This denial, how- ever, did not shake the confidence of cotton brokers that the English' gov- ernment was planning some steps to increase the imcrease the importation of cotton. According to official figures publish- ed today the actual cotton stock now held in Liverpool is only 556,000 bales as against 1,198,000 at the beginning of the season. The cause of the de- crease in stock and the general short- age faced by the English manufactur- ers isattributed to the difficulty in se- curing adequate shipping facilitiesy| Ocean freight brokers, however, be- lieve that if any Mmitation in rates is contemplated by Great Britain it will be applied to foodstuffs. An order is reported in force lthat British vessels must carry a certain percentage of grain in their cargo and this has help- ed to restrict exports of cotton from southern ports.
