WEDNESDAY EVENING,
reception here is furnished by the
Daily Mail's headline, "German peace
dodge," and an introductory note, in
which the Mail says: "If President
j Wilson meant, as recent American
: comment contends, his note should
| force Germany to state her terms,
[ Germany has countered with this pro
j posal so that she can evade an explicit
' answer."
i It is a coincidence that Great Brlt-
I uin's Invljatlon to the dominion >pre
miers to attend a war conference not
later than February to consider ques
tions affecting the prosecution of the
war forms the main feature of the
j morning papers. As it is apparent
ithat no important decision affecting
the conditions under which the war
can be terminated by the allies Is]
likely to be taken until the conference, i
it may be assumed, apart from any |
other considerations, that Germany's
suggestion for an immediate exchange I
of views probably will not materialize.
From Altar to Death
Bride's 3-Day Journey
Florence, N. J„ Dec. 27.—Mrs. Wil
liam H. McCune, a bride of less than
four days, died on Christmas Day.
The bride, who was Miss Ethel Allen,
and the groom were married last
Thursday night and taken to their new
home on Second street which McCune
had built and furnished. East August
Mrs. McCune became in poor health,
suffering from lung trouble. Several
| months passed and the wedding had
jto be postponed. The bride-to-be grew
j worse until the doctors gave up all
hope for her recovery. At McCune's
persuasion she consented to marry
him, knowing that her days were
numbered.
Although confined to her bed, Mrs.
McCune displayed great pluck last
Thursday night and bore up nobly
under the excitement of a wedding,
and, dressed In a handsome wedding
dress, came downstairs, when she was
married by the Rev. K. A. Brown,
rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal
Church. Exhausted, she was carried
to an automobile and taken to her
home, where she was its mistress for !
scarcely three days. '

Havre, Dec. 27. Captain Plater,
of the American steamer Sacramento,
who arrived here from Buenos Aires
. with a cargo of wheat, reports that he
wus stopped in the English channel by
a German submarine. The command
er of the submarine who ordered him
aboard with his papers said:
"You are carrying wheat, which we
consider contraband of war, To France.
It is lucky for you that your ship is
American otherwise we should have
torpedoed you with great pleasure.

PROF. AND MRS. 1
TECH HONOR MEN
ARE ANNOUNCED
Big Increase in Number of
Students in First
Rank
Reports for the second six weeks of
school just issued by Miss Katharine
|G. Hammelbaugh, secretary of the
, Technical High School, to the students
of that institution show that there are
! more first honor students in the last
reports than those issued in the fore- I
part of the term.
In the Senior class are six mem- (
bers who attained a general average I
of over 90 per cent., with no condi-1
tions in any subject. The first year!
boys, with the largest class in the I
school, lead the way with ten first'
honor pupils. The Juniors have seven I
on the coveted list, while in the |
Sophomore class Hugh Wells is the j
sole member who attained a general
average above the 90 per cent. mark.
Young Wells entered Tech last fall
one year ago at the age of 11. At
that time he was reported to be the
youngest student to ever enter either
of the llarrisburg high schools. His
splendid record in the report just is
sued, is evidence of the fact that he is
upholding the good work he did in
the grades.
Many more students ranked be
tween 80 and 90 per cent, with no
grade below 70. In the second honor
list there was a slight decrease in
comparison with the last report, while
in the first honor list there has been
an increase of 33 per cent. The full
list as compiled by the secretary fol
lows:

English Newspapers See
Eagerness to End War in
German Reply to Wilson
London, Dec. 27. The promptness
of the German government's reply to
President Wilson's note is character
ized by the evening newspapers to
day as evidence of Germany's eager
ness to bring the war to an end. The
Standard says:
"It would be a mistake to neglect
the German peace maneuvers, but it
would be even more fatal to waste
time over them. We trust the govern
ment will give President Wilson a
perfectly courteous but also a definite
reply and then get. on with the war
as energetically as possible."
The Pall Mall Gazette says:
"Germany has not been slow to seize
the advantages given her by President
Wilson's maladroit diplomacy. It
would be a real triumph for Germany
to have herself recognized as the wire
less puller of the power to whose sub
jects her submarines drowned with
impunity and which lectured her in
the name of all the cardinal virtues.
It would teach the world that by let
ting the Americans do the talking
Germany understands how to get her
own way eventually in the sphere of
practical politics.
The following is from the Westmin
ster Gazette:
"For two or three days the pretense
way kept up that the American pro
posals were an unfriendly attempt to
snatch 'the prize of victory' from the
German people, but this clearly is not
at all the view of the German govern
ment, who sees in it a welcome oppor
tunity to improve the occasion and at
the same time push forward its own
proposal for stopping the war. Presi
dent Wilson is not to blame for this,
and we should be very unwise to rush
to the conclusion that he expected to
receive this answer and was to that
extent playing into the hands of the
Germans."
Commenting on a Washington dis
patch saying President Wilson was In
spired by the desire to give the bellig
erents, especially Germany, a better
excuse for defining their conceptions
of a possible settlement .and the Ger
man reply that an immediate ex
change of views was the most appro
priate road in order to reach the de
sired result, the Westminster Gazette
says:
"The German government can
scarcely be so naive as to suppose the
allied governments would suspend
hostilities or enter into a conference
with an enemy who has just proclaim
ed himself the victor without know
ing, even through the' usual indirect
channels, what he was going to pro
pose. . . . It is Germany who pro
posed negotiations. It is Germany
who considers herself to be in the
superior position. It is Germany who
wants to stop the war. Therefore it

wonderful! Three of these capsules
