Th Oreele Government's reply accepting

compliance with their ultimatum nhd An
oppression of the hope for resumption of
traditional friendly rotation with tho En

The text 'at tho reply ns tnnde public to

friendship for tho Entente and announces
that orders Issued by the Athens Govern
ment already hove beon complying with the
Allies' demands, Tho movements of troops
and of materials began today nnd will be
Carried out as rapidly as possible. It Is as
aertcm.
"legitimate satisfaction" was promised
for the events of December 1 (the attacks
triads on French nnd other Allied forces In
Athens) and arbitration was suggested for
adjustment of the details.
The reply concludes with expression of
tho hopo that tho ICntenle Powers will re
consider their blockade, decision.
Ths London Times, In nn editorial on
the Greek situation, calls for tho dethrone
ment of Constantino. It says:
"The true remedy for Greece In tinr pros
ent unhappy nnd divided condition Is (o
keep her sword sheathed nnd to place the
country under tho control of VcnUelos."
The Chronlclo declares that the Allies
did not seek to shovo Greece Into tho war.
but that drastic action was necessary to
remove the growing mennca In that country.

heavy for this time of thn year. Even
today's reoord drop was surpassed two

Nevertheless, tempers were tried sorely
today when commuters on tho Pennsylvania

I.ato In 1914 Professor Munsterberg re

of the Harvard professor. Tho university
refused to accept tho resignation.
FfMKND OK KAISKIt
Professor Munsterberg had delivered
many lectures and written numerous news
paper nrtlcles since the war began, setting
forth tho German viewpoint. Karly In the
war there were dftmunds from allied sym
pathlxers for his removal from the faculty
at Harvard.
The Hrltlsh censor recently ' Intercepted
letters from Munsterberg addressed to
persons In Uermany ns a result of which
It was said evidence had been found of tho
professor being uu active Uerman agent In
this country. He whs n personal friend of
the Kaiser and bad written books upon the
relations of Uermany and the I'nlted Slatne,
He was recently called at u puhUumeetlng
In lloston "a high-class spy" for the
Kaiser. He was known to feel this keenly,
as he did also the charge that the war had
severed his long friendship wth Prof,
Joslah Hoyce, professor of psychology, of
Harvard.

today regarding the life and works of Pro
fessor Munsterberg!
"He was picked by Prof. William James
for Harvard In JS31. At that time Mun

a student of medicine and was an extraor
dinary professor at the University of
Freiberg In Baden when he waa called to
Harvard. At that time he had Just begun
the publication of an experimental work
which attracted wide attention to bun. It
placed him beside such men aa Wundt and
Stumpts. For thU reason Professor James
scoured him tor the experimental work at
Harvard.
"Munsterberg had a remarkable gift of
language. He learned English rapidly.
Ha had great analytical power In think

All of his experimental work was marked

LEADERS DEFY WILSON
ON 'PORK BARREL' BILL
Democrats in Congress Plan to
Push $35,000,000 Build-
iiiKS Scheme
WASHINGTON. IVc. 16. A bitter light
ngnluat tho Administration by a powerful
group of Democnts In Congress was
brought Into the open today when Itepro
nentatlvo Frank Clarke, chairman of the
Hoiifo Public Buildings Committee, reported
favorably the so-called "pork barrel' bill.
Tho niensure. which carries J.1B.000.000
public building authorizations, will be vig
orously opposed by tho President, the Treas
ury Department and tho Administration
generally. President Wilson during tho last
session of Congress openly opposed tho
measuro und declared that ho would veto It.
If It wus passed.
The' committee, despllo tho President's
altitude, recommended the passage of the
measure. Tho report filed by Ileprcsentnttvo
Clarko today places the blamo for extrava
gance nnd "pork-barrel" methods In public
building construction on tho Treasury De
partment. The bill would abolish tho super
vising architects ollloo In the Treasury
Department and Intrust tho work of con
structing public buildings to n commissioner
of public buildings nnd a board of estimate,
with u completo organization, to administer
public building funda nnd supcrvlso the con
struction of buildings.
Berlin Ready to Give
Terms in Conference
Continued from Pate On
ably In tho spring, would receive even
moro earnest consideration.
LONDON, Dec. Id.
The action of the Itusslan Duma In vot
ing unanimously against accepting Ger
many's peace proposals created a profound
Impression hero today.
Tho news came Just at tho time when
tho French launched their new and suc
cessful offensive on the Vorjlun front, and
these two developments aro expected to
have a far-reaching Influence on tho treat
ment of tho Uerman pence proposals by
Kngland nnd her Allies.
Tho newspapers comment ut length upon
the speech of Arthur Henderson, member
of tho War Council nnd of tho Cabinet,
beforo tho Steel Smelters' Association last
night, when he said the peace proposals
"must bo considered with the greatest care"
and that "tho people of this country are
prepared to accept jveace today as In Au
gust, 1DH. provided that peace la both Just
and permanent."
The Manchester Guardian, the leading
i.iunui paper, (.-uiuinues us enorts to bave
the proposals considered and calmly sifted.
It prints a petition signed by a number of
the leading residents of Manchester, ask
lug tho Government to examine the peace
offering critically. The Spectator in today's
tssuo says that Uermany' proposals "murk
the beginning of the end." This paper
urges the Government not to reject the pro
posals without consideration, but to "tell
the Germans that If they will consent to
the principle of reparation for their evil
'deeds wo will talk to them, but on no other
consideration."
Tho New Statesman declares that "tha
shortening of the war Is supremely desir
able, as we should naturally be glad to
shorten it by diplomacy Instead of by war
provided the terms of its ending are tha
right ones." " H1
The tenor of a section of the presa dhows
a. disposition to regard the peace offer In
a new light and to analyze It and seek Its
true motive Instead of rejecting u without
any consideration.
Tho Dally News states that the German
peace note has-been received at the United
States I mbawsy and Is ready for trans,
mission.
