Near each line could be seen groups Of

The nearest approach TO a demon

u. S. FOR PEACE,
SAYS MURDOCH
Attacks Washington Govern
ment in Speech Before Amer
leans in London.

London. Dec. 10.-To an unusually
large gathering at the American Lunch
con Club to-day Victor Murdoch made
an address on "The American Stand
point" in which he severely attacked
the governments attitude on war and
declared that a five months trip
throu- n the states previous to his visit
here had shown him that sentiment was
for ending the war as soon as possible,
and that the bulk of the people favored
the Allies.
Mr. Murdoch deeply resented the
statements frequently heard abroad
that America was growing rich through
the war and therefore desired il TO con-
tinue, stating that only comparative
few were directly benetiting. His
statement that his political chief.
Colonel Roosevelt, was the greatest liv-
ing American, was loudly applauded,
and the club, composed largely of bus
mess men of big interests, cheered
every reference to the ex-President. Il
was plainly evident that Americans
resident here feel keenly all reflections
on the states because of the govern
ment's attitude on questions of ma
tional honor.
All those who still hoped for Amerl
can intervention in the war must have
been definitely disillusioned by Presi-
dent Wilson's message to Congress.

for this purpose a strong mercantile

"The moment is approaching when
the Greek government must decide. The
Allies. now more than ever before, re-
ouire freedom of movement at Salonica.
Hitherto their demands had been met
by procrastination, and a refusal now
will mean war"
While retiring from Southern Serbia
the Allied forces have been given eff
fective assistance by the Montenegrins
and Serbians who fed into Albania.
This is shown in the resistance which
both the Serbs and the Montenegrins
are offering the invaders. The latter
have been fighting a series of rear
guard actions and delivering counter
attacks. which the Austrians admit

Austrians are now attempting a new
