Entente to Amplify
Stand in New Note
Continued from Tnitn One
hlch fenrci faulty translation Into t ngllsh
of, tho French word 'sanctions" In the note's
text might la) tho Allies opon to the
charge of vlndlctlvencss The Dally Ncwh
joints out thnt somo novvspapcrs had trans
lated tho word "penalties" mid somo "re
tribution" nnd some "repiratlon "
Tho French word ' nanctlons," tho edi
torial asserted, 'Is rather a synonni for
guarantees than a blunt threat of punish
ment, which would probably stlmulato tho
Germans to right to tho lat man rather
than submit "
The Chronicle savs
With a Power that franklv. declines
to be bound b an obligations, it is
useless to contract new ones
Wo welcome In the note tho word
"penalties,' because It seems to us to
annphaslzo tho Idea, that the Indication
of outraged right In tho face of tho
world is not the last, but tho first thing
for tho Allien to Insist upon
Tho Sunday Obscrv er eays:
It must bo borno In tnlnd that the
reply of tho Allies Is to Germany s
noto, not to President Wilson s
Never has a choice between right
nd wrong been plainer In tho wholo
history of tho world
The United States and other neutral
powers should be nblo to Judge from
the tono of tho Allies' rcpK what view
to hold of Oermanv s motives In pro
posing peace.
The Dallv Telegraph sajs
Tho Allies are united heart and soul
Not until sho Is read) foi expiation
should Germany thlnl. of sending an
other note
The Morning Post sajs
Tho now j ear opens with the mo't
signal triumph for the league of clvl
Uzatlon Tho solidarity of tho AIHch
Proves Itself to bo tho battle line which
the enemy can no more break by guile
than by assault
WASHINGTON Jan 1
Tho Ufa or death of tho present peace
movement tests wholl) In the hands of
Germany
This Is known positively to bo the belief
of Washington officialdom, from President
Wilson down
Furthermore, while Administration offi
cials bellovo the Entente Allies have n loop
hole for Gerniay to prove the sincerity of
her original peace proposals thoy believe
pcaco negotlatlonn are today a little farther
off than they appealed to be nt the start
of the present penco movement
Although tho Administration continued
today Its policy of nbsolutelv refusing to
discuss the International situation, It Is posi
tively known this Government feels that
Germany "msut more franlilj declare her
helf In regards to plans and specifications '
If she li to keep alive an) peaco negotia
tion sentiment among tho men at the head
of the Allied cause
That German ma take this step In her
next move, Insisting however, that her
terms be held In confidence is deemed pos
sible by many officials for the following
reasons
GERMANS CALL ALLIES'
PEACE REPLY VERBOSE
BERLIN Jan 1 The oftlUal Press
Bureau toda) lsi-ued the following state
ment on 1,he Allies reply to German) a
peace proposal
The text of the Entente note replvlng
to tho Central Powers' peace offer ar
rived here In the version supplied by
the Havas Agency The general Impres
sion is if this version li correct, that
the Entente answer to the sincere Ger
man offer is verbose, but nevertheless a
Hat refusal to end the war
ThN answer Is especially selected
for the sake of neutrals suffering from
the war's consequence It is pointed
out as especially remarkable that the
Entente note mentions the right of
nationalities, although one of the
avowed purposes of war of the Entente
Is the conquest of Constantinople and
the Strait

epidemic The outbreak has occurred

Can the Kermbtiian partj survive If

Will It not bo well to heed this sit

render service real honest sen Ire If
we nre to havo tho support nf the
people- A party that Is dWionct can
not endure. Some of us sense till sit

These same men in 1915 were equally
resolved to put Mr ISaldwln Into the
f.pcakershlp They Anally vlelded, and
Mr Penrose gave me definite assur
ance that ho won kl btippoit Mr Am

the same dav In let-s than n day
thereafter he at definitely set about
to defeat Mr Ambler He did not
succeed Thcso facts 1 dare nn one
to refute
The evening of the day of the Re
publican meeting nt Wlllltms Grove
In the autumn of 191' the same Seim
toi, then a candidate told mo that
both the then Commissions of Hlgh
vvajs and the ihcn Secretary nf Stato
were Impossible and ought nut to be
retained Subsequently at Hlolrs
vllle In the stand on the public square
he assured ine he would have them
resign Ho did not do so
Me also declared at Pittsburgh on
August 26, 19 H, when tho pnrtv plat
form was under discussion thnt he
was sure of his election and that he
dldn t care anjthftig about the le
malnder of the ticket This was cm
the eve of the State campaign Can
any fair oi lojal Republican follow
such men?
The people look to the party In power
to give them an honest and a detlnlte
service They recent rightly un at
tempt to deceive or to cheat them
Their interests are at stake I shall
steadily stand with them and against
false leadership I shall continue to
Insist that this Government shall never
betray any one, that Justice and de
cency and right shall prevail, and upon
that Issue and that alone I shall con
duct my administration and shall de
vote all my energies
The control of the Republican party
in Pennsylvania bv the special Interests,
of which the .Senator Is the acknowl
edged political agent, must and should
be broken If the party Is to live Noth

until it is settled right

The increasing cost of labor and raw
materials (particularly cotton fabric) has made
it necessary to advance prices to dealers and
consumers effective January 1st, 1917 -15
per cent on pneumatic automobile tire casings
and 10 per cent on pneumatic tubes and
motor truck tires.
Present abnormal conditions fully justify
a greater increase, and should they continue
a further increase may become necessary.
