This is the only policy considered

yani, In statement before the
Chamber Of Deputies converting the
new session of Parliament.
The governments statement was
brief. Responsibility for the war Was
placed with Germany, but the very
opening paragraph Of the govern
ment announcement left no dou9t
that France vas prepared and con-
sidered no other policy than war to
the bitter end:
This communication is not such
as a government usually makes in
outlying for the first time its pol
icy.
AT the present hour there is but
one policy-to fight without mercy
until Europe is definitely liberated
by fully victorious peace"
The opening Of the war session Of
Parliament was under exceedingly
dramatic conditions. Many members
of the Chamber OF Deputies, as we'll
as senators returned from the front,
where they were serving with the
army. Three deputies and one mem
Der of the Senate have been killed
in action.
The session is expected to be short.

Thursday, after the bills which will
be presented by the government are
passed. These bills include a vote
of six months provisional credit,
suspension Of the senatorial elections,
modification of the naturalization
laws to meet the situation growing
out OF the war as related to Germans
now in France and parliamentary
measures. The amendments to the
naturalization laws contemplated will
make II possible for the government
to withdraw naturalization granted
persons who retained their original
nationality or are considered unde-
sirable.

BRITISH HONOR
GERMAN DEAD
Give Military Funeral to Those
Killed in Falkland ISL
ands Battle.

BUENOS AYRES, Dec. 22-British
tars honored the bravery of their
German enemies by according full
military honors to those of the NOR
tally wounded of the Falklands naval
engagement who died aboard the flag
ship Inyincible. British officers at
Montevideo told of how they had
hoped to pay even greater respect for
their enemy's courage, but were
baked by fears of the German pris-
oners aboard the Invincible. Every
British sailor was ready to laud the
victory or death spirit of the Ger
mans in Admiral Won Specs squad
ron.
Every effort was made to save those
WHO went down with their ships.
These survivors, many of them des-
perately wounded were taken aboard
the Invincible, Admiral Sturde de-
clared.
The British cruiser Glasgow was
damaged in the bow and stern during
the battle off the Falkland Islands.
This was reported from Port Monte
today, where the Glasgow and the
Bristol arrived in their search in the
Pacific for the German cruiser Ores
den. The Glasgow appeared to have
been hit several times, but the dam
age was not so serious as to cripple
her. The Glasgow proceeded north,
spending a few hours at Port Monte.

MOSCOW, via Petrograd, Dec. q

Talk of Creating a
Police InspectOrsfip
Is Again to the Fore

II is said that the Board of Police
Commissioners expect to create the
position of superintendent of police
and inspector Of police before
the close OF the year, In antici-
patton of such a reorganization Of the
force under Mayor elect Raymond.
1t Is said that Captain Oscar Vogel,
of the Fourth precinct; Captain
Thomas j. CORDIALLY, OF the Seventh
roll, of the Fifth precinct, have been
interviewed as to their desire to at
tain higher rank and greater respon-
sibilities than they now enjoy as COM
manders of precincts. How they re-
gard the matter has not been made
known.
The proposed plan of reorganiza-
ton has not been told in detail, and
there is some question as to whether
the new superintendent, II one be
created. win be In active charge of
the force, or merely the official re-
sponsible for. the execution of the
orders of the chief and the routine
conduct OF the departments chief
inspector.
1t is further said that Mayor-elect
Raymond has made a special study
of the conduct of police departments
in the big cities of the country, and
that he is now devoting much OF his
time in considering prospective ap-
pointees and scrutiny of aspirants for
the police commissionerships.
1t is thought that he inclines TO the
methods of supervision in vogue in
New York, where an inspector lis in
charge of several conveniently
grouped precincts, and over the in
spectors are borough inspectors and
over these the chief inspector, who
is the man held responsible by the
commissioner for the maintenance of
discipline in routine matters as well
as for the proper execution of special
orders.
With eight precincts in Newark, all
constantly growing in volume and i'm
portance of business, Mr.. Raymond is
| believed to be of the opinion that a
more even Interpretation of the laws
| in the various precincts would be as
| sured if an inspector were in imme-
| date supervision of the work of -four
| OF them, making two inspectors nee
essary, and these two working under

| Rumor has It that the present COM
missioners are Of the belief that II
/ such a system is to be inaugurated
after New Years it may be just as
well be put into operation now. Con-

INSIST GERMANS
BROKE WAR RULES
British Embassy Declares Both
Scarborough and Whitby
Absolutely Independent.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The Brit
ish embassy today issued the follow
ing statement:
THE military attache of the Ger
man embassy has justified the killing
of women and children by the impe-
rial German navy at Scarborough and
Whitby on the ground that these
places were defended within the
meaning of The Hague convention
Tx, 1909
Even were they defended, the con-
vention prescribes "a reasonable time
for waiting and due regard for sacred
ediflces and historic monuments.
"As a matter of fact Scarborough
is a seaside resort and Whitby a fish
ing village. Both are absolutely un-
defended. Their bombardment took
place without the slightest notice and
churches seem to have been specially
singled out for attack"

ROUMAN|A GIVES
BULGARIA LAND
SHE WON IN WAR
Province of Dobrudja to Be Re-
stored in Plan for Recon-
structed Balkans.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
PETROGRAD, via London, Dec. %.
The Bulgarian minister announced
today that an agreement had been
reached between Roumania and Bull
garia under which Roumania will re-
store to Bulgaria the province of Do
brudja and most of the other terri
tory which she acquired from Bull
garia as the result of the second Bal
kan war
This agreement has been reached
without pressure from either Ger
many or the allies" said an official
connected with the Bulgarian minis
try. I'VE shall continue to be neu-
trail and believe that Roumania, al
though she has no cause to fear us,
also will remain neutral"
It has been asserted here that the
lear of Bulgaria alone had prevented
Roumania from invading Austria and
entering the war on the side of the
allies.
IF Greece would return Kavala
and the Macedonian territory she an
nexed during the second Balkan war,
and Servia would restore to us the
Macedonian provinces she occupied,
despite her agreement of 1912, the
Balkan union could be reconstructed, -
odAh IiiC 4DulSdlldtl OIltCisi OIluST
those circumstances a lasting peace
would be established in the Balkans. -
But unfortunately neither Greece nor
Servia has shown an intention to re-
wise the treaty of Bucharest.
1.-The heir to the Servian throne,
Prince Alexander, on receiving Prince
Troubetskoy, when the prince deliv-
cred his credentials from Emperor
Nicholas at Nish yesterday, said:
'Servia guides her own national in
terests,' meaning that Servia was not
ready to return the Macedonian prov
inces.
"A reconstructed Balkan union
would favor neither the allies nor
Germany, nor would it have any ag-
gressive intentions. Roumania's
Pennsylvania aspirations, Greece's
claims to Turkish islands and Servia s
differences with Austria bring about
such a conflict of interests that it
would be impossible to throw the
union as a whole one way or the
other. Our relations with Turkey will
remain friendly. We do not desire
Adrianople.'

PARIS, Dec. 22.-The Chamber OF
Deputies, long before the hour set
for the meeting today, was a scene
of animation. The extraordinary war
session has aroused a very great de-
gree of interest, rivaling that which
was manifested in the session Of Au-
gust 4, held Immediately after the
declaration of war.
The plan Of some of the members
to ask for a secret session has been
abandoned. A considerable number
of the deputies have pledged them
selves not to stir up debates, but on
the contrary to observe highly
patriotic attitude while listening to
the governments declarations and to
vote the necessary credits.
Among the deputies who viii not
be present today are NJ. Delory, II.
Chesquiere and NJ. Basly, who are
held as hostages by the Germans In
the vicinity of Lille, and NJ. Pasqual,
who has been taken prisoner. Those
present at today's session included
Henri Durre and Pierre Melin, from
Valenciennes, and Daniel Vincent,
from the department of Nord, all Of
whom encountered great difficulty in
reaching the capital.

what appears to be the prevailing

though Japan should send no more
