None Ready to Discuss Peace
Berlin, Dec. $50 long as ,,n-

~
Berlin, Dec. $50 long as un-
controlled hatred of Germany
and the belief that Germany is
approaching a collapse continue
to be the dominant idea of the
enemy countries, 1t would be
! folly for Germany to take the
lnitlative in proposing terms of
peace. Germany, however, is
ready at any time to consider a
peace suggestion from the coun.
tries with which she is at war:
does not wish a continuation of
the war; and diss ociates herself,
under these circumstances, from
any responsibility for its pro-
longation.
lhis is the substance of the
German imperial chancelIor's
reply in the reichstag today to
the Socialist Interpolation on
peace, in which he painted a
picture OF Germany triumphant
on all sides and supplied with
everything, even if not in abund
ance, necessary to- the continu-
ation of the war.
The Interpolation was intro.
duced by DR.. Scheidemann in
the following terms:
rs the imperial chancellor
ready to give information as to-
the conditions under which he
would be willing to enter into
peace negotiations"
London. Dec. e.-The speech
in the reichstag of the imperial
chancellor, DR.. Won Bethmann-
Hollweg, reviewing the military,
political and economic progress
OF events and his reply to al
SOCIALIST Interpolation declining

Socialist, the chancellor's spSeGh
has completely dashed any
hopes the peace advocates may
have held on any early termin-
alton of the war. 1t caused no
surprise, however, to the great
bulk of the people here, who,
like the governments, believe
in the ultimate victory of the
entente allies and express the
determination to continue to
fight until victory is attained.
AS far as the entente allied
countries are concerned, SEEM
ingly the only change desired is
one which would insure a more
vigorous prosecution of the war
but this, like peace, will have to

WhGt / Am Thankful For.
By An Eighth CradO Boy

In each day of our lives there
Is something for which we should
be thankful. Generally our
minds are full of other things,
and we do not think of these
blessings, but we are blessed.
Then, too. we have a bad habit
of always wanting something we
haven't, instead of being thank
full for what we have.
This year particularly we hear
of ''hard-times." Money is
scarce in all parts of the country.
Even in the west, where an
abundant crop of grain has been
harvested, there is little money
in circulation, because it is hard
to find q market for this crop.
Instead of worrying over the
things we should like to have we
should be greatful for our every
day blessings. We all have COM
Portable homes, plenty of food
and clothing. and are enjoying
good health. If we were sud-
denly deprived of either of these,
we would then appreciate our
present condition.
But the thing we should be
most thankful if that we are at
peace with the world. Think of
the awful condition existing in
the European countries. How
much want, sorrow and suffering
this awful war has caused. Be-
sides the loss of life, think of
the many works of art and his
toric places that have been de-
stroyed. Exchange places with
the people Of Belgium and see
for what you could be thankful
now. No country on earth has
greater cause to be thankful in
1915 than the United States.
Our President is a sensible, God
fearing man, who has guided our
ship of state safely so far. May
he in the future. exercise the
same good judgment he has in
the past. Money cannot buy
peace and happiness. Without
peace there can be no happiness.
So this year when we are
thanking God for the many
blessings we have had, let us not
forget the greatest Of all bless.
ing-PEACE.
