It might have a salutary effect, he con t tinued, in calling the attention of the •allies to obvious defects of organiza | tion. To prevent the Rumanian sltua ] tion from becoming worse they had j taken strong action. In Greece they were taking no risks. They had de cided to recognize the agents of for- I mer Premier Venizelos. Convinced of Victory | Speaking of the western tront, Mr. Lloyd George referred to the growth (of the British armies there and con ! tinned: "I am convinced ultimate victory is sure if the nation shows the same , spirit of endurance and readiness to learn as tfce mud-stained armies at the ' front." Turning to the more purely polltl ' cal of the domestic problems before I the new miinstry, Mr. Lloyd George said: ; "We are anxious to avoid all con troversial questions. The functions of ' the premier and leader of the House , of Commons have been separated be ' j cause It was believed the double tasks I I were too much for oen man. The ! I organization of the new cabinet Is best i adapted for the purpose of war. In [ I war you want prompt decision, and ! | the allies have suffered disaster after i I disaster from tardiness of decision." I Director of National Service The speech of Chancellor Von Beth- j ' i mann-Hollweg before the German! , j Reichstag was characterized by Lloyd ■ | George as constituting in substance a ! | denial o fthe only terms upon which I peace was possible. I. Premier Lloyd George said that the \ ; time had come when the dominions! should be consulted more formally as , to the war. An Imperial conference ; would be summoned at an early date ■ to discuss vital questions. The premier said It was proposed to • appoint a director of national service ! and that all industries and services j would be scheduled as essential or [ I nonessential tg the war. . Scores Subterfuges • The premier analyzed the German . Chancellor's speech and then declared , emphatically: "Without reparation peace is im ■ possible. Moreover, what guarantee! t is there that subterfuges will not be ;! used in future to overthrow any • treaties of peace wliereinto we might. [ now enter. . I "We must keep a steadfast eye on ' the purpose for which we entered the ' war. We entered it to defend Europe ' from aggressions of the Prussian ! military caste. We must insist that • there be the most complete guaran [ tees against this caste ever disturbing • again the peace of Europe. 1 I Prussia has been a bad neighbor. 1 No wthat the war has really been un • dertaken It would be folly not to see it that this swash-buckling through > the streets of Europe and this disturb ance of peaceful citizens was dealt ' with here and now as the most serious I offense against the law of nations. Irish Question Misunderstood I The premier said he was convinced i the Irish question was a misunder t standing and that he hoped this un • derstanding would be removed. Settlement of the Irish question, the [ premier added, would be a great war < measure. Referring to the mobilization of t labor, the premier said no man would f be taken Into the army if he were i capable of rendering more useful , services outside of it. L Arthur Neville Chamberlain, he an . nounced, had been appointed director general of national services. Eyes of World Turned t The ' first appearance of ! David Lloyd George before the [ House of Commons as premier was f made to-day In circumstances seldom i if ever faced by a new holder of the office. Even if the peace proposals of 1 the central powers had not intervened, 5 his statement of the policy of his gov • eminent which was chosen In reply ito a public demand for more vigorous prosecution of the war, would have L marked an Important step In the world I conflict. The peace note, however, I. shifted the interest, and every corner t" of the world awaited the announce r ment as to the British attitude toward f the move of the central powers, r! The secret was so well kept that h the best-informed parliamentary cor j( respondents differed as to the treat 's ment the peace proposals would re t" celve. The London papers which sup- L port the Lloyd George government £ most strongly expressed the view that t' the governmeiU had decided a con ference on Germany's terms would not , be considered. Even the moderate I provincial papers warned the pacifists they had best make up their minds ' that a prompt refusal would be forth- L coming. But the hope was expressed F in many quarters, notwithstanding the < fact that the German note contained Sno terms that Premier Lloyd George would be a little more communicative and gave the central powers some hint • I as to what they would have to give as [ the price of peace. |( Besides the peace proposals, the '■ premier had to deal with many ques (tions facing the new government in cluding the drastic war emergency measures, the Irish and food problems . and the submarine menace, t Such was the interest in the speech S that every member of the House of Commons with the exception of the considerable number on the sick list ' owing to the prevalence of influenza ' and those in active service in distant I countries, made efforts to secure a seat or standing room, while for the | l 8 See Oldest America H The glorious Apache Trail of Arizona is a modem auto I I HH highway through a mountainous country of ancient and modem HH wonders.

The diplomatic represen- j tatlves of Great Britain's allies occu- I pied seats in the gallery •for distin guished strangers. On the benches re served for Lords were many members of the upper house who took a promi nent in bringing about the recent change of government. When the premier entered the house Just before 4 o'clock he was cheered enthusiastically from all quar ters. Former Premier Asquith, who entered a moment later, also was cheered vociferously by the Liberals. Sir William Robertson, chief of the ) imperial start at army headquarters dressed in khaki was in the gallery. Stock Market Pivots Around British Attitude Toward Peace Overtu/e . New York, Dec. 19. The attitude; of the British government towards; Germany's peace proposals was the i pivot around which to-day's stock ] market revolved. Probably not within i the memory of Wall Street's oldest financiers has the attention of the world been so directed towards Lon j don as it was to-day. Stocks were irregular at the open j ing but became firm to strong at mid- I day and decidedly stronger in the early ; afternoon when fragmentary extracts iof the British premier's speech be -1 gan to circulate through the financial ! district. War shares and related issues made | further considerable recoveries from , last week's low levels to-day's gains , immediately prior and after the news j from London ranging from 3 to 5 j points in that division. Wheat Soars, Then Drops Back on News That Door Is Open For Peace Terms Chicago, Dec. 19. Excited ad vances of more than 7 cents a bushel to-day in the price of wheat resulted i from reports that the speech of the British premier in parliament to-day | supported the answer given to Ger j many by Russia and France. On the bulge, the market reached within a j few cents of the point touched before j the peace proposal was made by Ger many a week ago. May delivery, the chief trading I option, ascended to $1.71*4 as against | SI. to $1.64 % at yesterday's close, a jum pof 7c to 714 c. At this stage selling increased and the market be | gan to react. Definite bulletins confirming the re ports that the speech of Lloyd George | was not favorable to peace negotia ' tions at present did not lead to any ! important fresh advance. Traders ap | peared to take the view that the | British reply had been sufficiently I paralleled by the action of the mar i ket in recovering about 16c a bushel I since the lowest level which was | touched on Friday. Brokerage reports later that in dis : cussing Germany's peace offer Lloya ! George had left the door open for j Berlin to make a definite statement of j terms sent the wheat market down : grade rapidly in the last half hour of trading. May wheat fell to $1.65%, j a drop of ti'sc from the topmost point | of the sessions. Rome Will Not Reject Any Genuine Peace Proposals Sonnino Tells Deputies Rome, l>c-c. IS, via Paris, Dec. 19. Foreign Minister Sonnino said in the Chamber of Deputies to-day that sev eral resolutions which had been in troduced in the chamber in regard to the peace proposals of the central powers seemed to be based on the supposition that the government had or would have concrete and precise in dications as to the bases on which ne gotiations would be opened "As I said on the day beforo yester day, this supposition does not corre spond with the facts," the foreign minister continued. "There is no sign of conditions or basis for negotia tions in the enemy's note. 1 possess no information in regard to eventual conditions of peace beyond the note from the enemy which 1 read in the chamber. "Should propositions he made sub sequently we should consider what to 1 do, but it would be neither practical nor proper to discuss that question to day. Moreover, it should be under stood clearly that no one of the en tente allies could take into consider ation any condition whatever which by hypothesis might be eventually of fered to liini under separate form. In the public inland and out of respect to the allied governments, I cannot communicate to you anything what ever as to the substance of the answer we shall give to the note of the four enemy powers. Their answer will be published as it is drawn up. "We all wish "peace and lasting peace. But we consider a lasting peace to be careful settlement whose duration depends not on the solidarity of the fetters with which one people is held subject to another, but on an ex act balance among the State, based on respect for the principal nationalities, rules laid down in the laws of nations, and reasons of humanity and civilza tion. , "if we were in the presence of " >U 'SrtThe Only Store For ' Christmas Harrisburg's Gloves y vK \y_Ani, / Larger varieties, finest French • _ and American qualities and *-vi KllCl&Cr lowest possible prices. yi Uvl VVI Special—Black Real French Kid T I' dfM | Gloves; allover white stitched, | r . white embroidered backs, narrow (fl m white cuff band; selling elsewhero Xmas Store s- sl - 7S WASHABLE RUSSIAN' CAPE SKIN GLOVES; tan, ivory, pearl, black, butter or gray; pair - .

But there is nothing to show even faintly that this is the case, and there are many rea sons for believing the contrary. "I do not desire to use exaggerated language but the accept of boastfulness and the lack of sincerity which char acterize the preamble to the enemy's note certainly inspire no belief that these mysterious peace conditions which tlie central empires announce they have the intention of exposing later on, with the object of guarantee ing the existence, honor and free de velopment of their peoples, do consti tute an answer to the postulates we have laid down." Vot • of Confidence Baron Sonnino appealed to the de puties of all parties, in the words of Premier Briand of France, not to per mit the move of the central*powers to "poison the mind of the people," and urge them to refrain from "playing the enemy's game by giving way to rash or untimely manifestations which might imply the germs of division and discouragement. He asked them not to vote any order of the day which might let it be supposed that the at titude of Italy differed from that of her allies. Amid an outburst of cheering for Baron Sonnino, the chamber voted the order of the day pure and simple, implying confidence in the government and further ordered that the foreign minister's speech be placarded throughout Italy. The vote on the order of the day was 276 to 40. Von Bernstofft Believes England Will Not Refuse to Talk About Peace Washington, D. C., Dec. 19.—Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassa dor, said after hearing the first por tions of Lloyd George's speech: "That sounds as if they would not refuse to talk about peace, anyway." Every effort it was said would be made to bring about a conference the discussion of terms. The view was expressed in Teutonic diplomatic quarters that should Great Britain and her allies in reply to the proposals of the central powers ask that terms be defined, Germany and her allies would announce that they would be presented in a peace confer ence. It was added that unless there were unforseen developments it was doubtful that the central powers would agree \o st down their terms in a note. So much of Lloyd George's speech as had been received here when the cabinet met was taken Into the meet ing and discussed by the President an dhis advisers. No official com ment was made, but it seemed that the general tenor of Lloyd George's remarks led officials here to believe that a discussion of peace was not entirely out of the question. French Editor on Mission to This Country Names Peace Terms of Allies New York, Dec. 19.—Peace, terms of the Allies were made known here by Stephane Lauzanne, editor of Le' Matin, who Is tn this country, on a mission for the French government.

De Beauchamp, Who Bombed Munich After Long Flight Over Alps, Killed Paris, Dec. 19.—Captain De Beau champ, who in November made a flight to Munich and dropped bombs on the town, has been killed. He met his end in an air fight near Douauniont, his machine falling within the French lines. In his flight to Munich, Cap tain De Beauchamp crossed the Alps and covered a distance of 437 miles. Captain De Beauchamp on one oc casion dropped bombs on the head quarters of the German emperor, ac cording to the Petit Journal. This last exploit was performed in April, 1915, when the emperor was stationed at Mezieres-Charleville. The paper says that the bombs fell right on tha house in which the emperor's staff had its offices and that as a result the emperor withdrew six miles from the city. 9
