ENGLISH UNIONS
 HAVE UNITED
Government Officials See Possible Trouble in Huge Labor Com
 bine Just Effected.

LONDON, Dec. 1O.--A new labor union, composed of miners. railway and transport workers, having a membership of more than two million
 has been effected in England. The
 officers of the union announce that the combination of interests has been effected for defensive and of fensive purposes, and say the union will be in better position to treat with operators in securing their demands and as political unit will be able to
 force recognition from the govern ment for favorable legislation. The union is the greatest organ ized body of workers ever united in
 Europe and it's coming into existence at the present time is causing appre- hension on the part of the govern ment officials. It is feared that should the union engage ;n general strike as threatened that the military operations would be seriously handi- capped, as a shortage of men, due to en]istments, is already being expert |enced by employers
 Labor leaders bitterly assail the government for failure to regulate
 the prices of food as was done in Germany and France. They assert that it is unreasonable to expect the
 workmen, through loyalty to the na- tion, to refrain from striking or de-
 manding an increase in wages, when
 the dealers are permitted to advance the price of fouu..,,.lfs from 30 to 50 percent.

GERMANY UNITED
 0N PEACE TERMS
RanA,es'ial Chancellor Tells Reichstag That Safety of Nation Must
 be Guaranteed.

BERLIN, Dec 1O.-Chancellor B.xhmann-H -Hollweg's utterances in ahe German Reichstag yesterday re- xartiing the terms upon which the na- sions of Central. Europe would make peace, has been endorsed by all par 1ies composing the Reichstag. The Socialists have withdrawn their op- position to the war loan for which s.Ae ckS1cellor is asking the Reich sfax to, authorize to continue the war.
 The Imperial chancellor in discuss ing possible peace before the Reich atag said Germany would accept no peace which would no tbe lasting and that the, nations safety must be guar antead even if 1t was necessary to an- nen the territories which had been <0nquered by the German troops since sAe beginning of the war.
 The enemy nations of Germany hiindly believed that she had exhaust <d her stores of munitions, but Ger many still has sufficient copper to last for years. The government had prepared for possible war and had ac- eumulated a vast store of the metal. German ingenuity had originated sub stitutes for many things, the princi- pal of which was rubber. The lat ter substitutes, while inferior to the genuine article for many purposes, was admirably adapted for war pur- poses
 The German crops of the past sum- mer had exceeded that of last year and had been harvested safely de- spite the fact that the fields had been denuded of young men. He said the German government had assumed control of the food supply of the na- tion to prevent waste and to keep private interests from demanding prices which the people would be un- able to pay.

READY
 DISCUSS PEACE
Premier Asquith Declares Germany Must Be Forced to Withdraw
 Into Her Own Territory.

LONDON. Dec. 10.,--Speaking be- fore the British House or Commons yesterday Premier Asquith said that Great Britain and the other nations allied with her were willing to dis cuss peace proposals if sincerely ad vanced by the enemy nations.
 The premier does not place any re- liance upon the utterances of the German Imperial chancellor and be lieves he has been forced by the So- cialists to announce some terms of peace to secure the huge loan which he is asking the Reichstag to author ize to continue the war.
 Premier Asquith believes that peace is not possible at the present time and that the war must continue to definite end. German statesmen have repeatedly asserted that she would not surrender Belgium which had been conquered at a tremendous sacrifice of the flower of the nations manhood. Britain, he said. would never make peace until King Albert's country had been restored to him and the Teutons driven back within their own borders.

.HOkE SMITH WANTS
 NEUTRALITY SHOWN
Having Stopped Warfare on Conn merce He Relieves England
 Cease Her Interference.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 10.- Senator Hoke Smith, of Georgia, it is announced, will urge the senate to in- sist that President Wilson warn the British government that further in- terference with neutral commerce will not be tolerated.
 The Georgia senator believes that President Wilson having insisted upon the German government aban- doning its submarine warfare against commerce carriers should now be equally insistent that Britain cease interfering with commerce.
 Senator Smith asserts that the il- legal blockade established by the British fleet has caused the United States losses of hundreds of millions of dollars and that the British posi- tion is absolutely indefensible.

hll|ES BONDS
 REMAIN UNS0LO
Anxlo- French War Loan Bonds nave Dropped to 85 With American
 Investors not Buying.

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-The Nor gan syndicate's contract with the Anglo French loan commissioners to ae1 the Allies bonds in the United States expires on Tuesday next and 1t is reported that more than half of the bonds remain unsold. The de- nand for the bonds has declined, the latest quotation being 95. The bonds bear five per cent interest but are un- secured. being mere promises of the British and French governments to hquidate their debts when due.
 lg is believed that the rumors of psssib peace will revive demand turr1n bonds of the European na- aIotis as in that event the purchase nf the bonds as a business invest naent would appeal to the American capitalists.
 The action of the New York syn dicase of bankers in making new loan for $50,OOO,OOO, but which was secured by American stocks and bonds held by British investors, has caused many applications for bonds ri the prior loan to be cancelled.
