Peace between the belligerents in the great world conflict is as far away as ever. Only by the arbitrament of further battle, waged mercilessly on land and sea and in the air, can the conflict be brought to a termination now. Here are the Allies' general peace terms as outlined in their note: Full restoration of Belgium, Serbia and Montenegro and pay ment of indemnity to each. Evacuation of all occupied portions of France, Russia and Rumania and just reparation to each. Restoration of Alsace-Lorrain to France. Virtual dismemberment of the Dual Monarchy by the liberation of Italians, Slavs, Rumanians and Bohemians from foreign domin ation. Restoration of Poland to Russia. Expulsion of Turkey as a European Power. Guarantees, by a reorganization of the nations of Europe, against another war which might threaten the full security, liberty and economic development of Europe. Guarantees that hereafter international treaties will be respected. . Equitable compensation to be paid the Entente Powers for damage done by the Central Powers during the war. Wilson Examines Reply President Wilson to-day began a careful and deliberate examination ot the Entente's reply to his peace note to determine what opportunity It pre sents for a further move on his part and in what way one may be accom plished. The Entente note was dis cussed at the regular meeting of the cabinet and privately between the President and Secretary Lansing. All quarters agreed that while the Entente had made a complete reply to the President's request, for a state ment of termsli the note seemed to of fer no hope for an early end of the war, but fortunately still did not close the door upon further effort on the President's part. Several Courses Several courses of action lie before the President. Among them is an other move to ask Germany to state specific terms as the allies have done. Diplomats say that with replies from both sets of belligerents in hand it would be perfectly legitimate to com municate the answer of one set to the oth^r. The German diplomats here were outspoken in their denunciation of the Allied note and their declarations that such terms never would be ac cepted. Admittedly the note was more severe than even they had been led to expect, and they declared the Ger manic Allies were prepared to light on. Officials Reticent The next steps by the i;nited States will be chosen by the. utmost deliber ation and because of the delicate stage which the negotiations are certain to enter from this time it would be no surprise if they were conducted en tirely in secret without publication of the exchanges until some deiinite point has been reached. President Wilson discussed both the Entente and German notes with Col. E. M. House, who arrived here last night. Col. House had engagements with a number of government officials and planned to return to New York late to-day. At the White House to-day extraor dinary reticence was observed. It was said the President would not be hur ried lntoa decision on the attitude of the American government.

Only a few morning ago Emily's father had gone to work, as he usually did, and that same night on his way home he was struck by an automo bile. They brought him into the house, but he never regained con sciousness and died soon after. Em ily was now up in the little room that had been hers ever since she could remember. As she loohed around at all her little girlish treasures, the little white enameled bed and the bureau, the fraternity and college pennants and the pictures of her different classes at school, she looked at it dry eyed, for Emily had cried until she could cry no more. The things nil looked different to her now, for this calamity of her father's death had changed her. Yes, changed her in a few short days from the happy schoolgirl to the serious, thinking woman. Eor now Emily must find a place and work, the same as other girls she knew. Her father's insurance was only a little more than enough to pay the expenses of burying hint. They never had much money, only enough to live fairly comfortably, and often had to scrimp to keep Emily in school. For that, her mother insisted upon, saying. "Your father and 1 never had much chance for r education, but we're going to try *"**-■ you one if we can." And now it came in handy to Emily. A girl friend of liers— Nan Somers —who worked for a hank ing house in Wall street, had taught Emily stenography, and even now she could take dictation and use the type writer faster than her teacher. She had never frivoled away her time. She read every book ' worth reading that she could find, and now. at IS, could speak on any topic that came up with intelligence. She took a parting look at her little room and went down the stairs to find her moth er. Emily found her looking out of a . of ,e . ' ortuncs of Emily" is here given.

Dr. Ellwood R. Kirby, of this city, who was summoned by the Thaw family > attend him, said to-diy he felt sure Thaw had not taken poison. The finding of slow poison tablets in Thaw's pocket gave rise to the fear that he may have swallowed one. The physician said Thaw showed none of the early symptoms of the poison and that his condition was satisfactory.

The report from Field Marshal Von Mackensen's front in Southern Molda via to-day shows apparent inactivity in the center, in the vicinity of Fok sliani, but progress on both flanks. Towards the Danube the Russians have been pressed back further be tween Braila and Galatz, where the town of Laburtea has been taken.
