APPROVE
CHANCELLOR'S STAND
Say Announcement Of Terms
Is Satisfactory" They
Are to Them
By Carl w. Alderman.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
Berlin, Dec. 10.-Socialists of the
reichstag are with the government in
its peace attitude. In caucus, they de.
cided today that the chancellor's an
nouncement of terms yesterday was sat
isfactory. With only few radicals in
cluding Herr Liebknecht dissenting,
they voted, therefore, that there is no
reason for hostility toward the govern
ment "whose enemies are continually
stating that Germany favors annexa-
tion of conquered territory"
From the press today came unanim-
Gus approval of Hollweg's stand
The Lokal Anzeiger commented typi-
cally: "The chancellor expressed clear
ly that Germany's desires are peaceable
now just as they were before the war
started. He notified the world that we
are willing for peace-the sooner the
better, if it brings what we absolutely
want.O
The public is almost as much interest
ed in President Wilson'S recent attack
on "hyphenated Americans as in
Hollweg's decision. The general view
is that he meant Austrians and Ger
mans.
And, an admiralty official told me
that he could not help believing that
Washington is unfriendly toward Ger

Speculative Fever Is

New York, Dee. 10.-That the mar.

that the speculative impulse has turned
for the present in direction away
from that to which the street has COM

Only in October 1912 did the corpor.
alton issue such large report of un.

public at noon, the street believed it
to be about six or seven hundred
thousand tons; instead it showed an in
crease Of 100000 tons.

hoped speculation would expand.

ALLIES DEBATE AS
THE TEUTONS ACT
Each Is Watching For Own
Interests Hence So Much
DilatOry Action
By j. w. T. Mason.

(Written for the United Press.)
New York, Dec. 10.-Indications are
that the allies general war council is
meeting with the common fate Of coali-
tions and is failing to satisfy. Per
sistent reports from Paris report Sc
rious differences of opinion among the
military leaders. In fact the council is
proving itself no grand general staff
for direction Of the war, but instead an
exchange bureau for examination of
policies. The council now is engaged
in examining the advisability of con
tinuing the Balkan campaign. Mean
time, British and French forces are be.
ing hurled back from southern Serbia.
This examination into the Balkan
problem, however, is not matter Of
determining how to defeat the Teutons
and Bulgars, but rather what is good
for the individual allies.
A truly united policy acceptable to
all the allies is impossible. Russia
wants the Balkan situation continued
for the sake Of her prestige in thn'
region, while the other allies are not
entirely content with continuing on and
neglecting possibilities of another ma
jor offensive in the west
Britain takes a leading part in oppo-
sition to Russia Is desire to have the
Balkan campaign at all costs. Italy is
reluctant, to contribute men as lono
the central allies keep out Of Albania
the territory on which she keeps her
Jealous eye. At the same time, France
wants to reserve her forces for her
own defense.
A compromise, therefore, would leave
misgivings, If not actual suspicious
among the contending groups.
None Of the allies, however, can OPP
pose Russia, with an easy mind, for
despite her agreements with all the
other entente powers, she might make
a separate peace il thworted in her
Balkan desires, and this would be a
serious blow TO the ambitions Of the
entente.

MUSHROOM CITY IS
WIPED OFF THE MAP
Dupont Powder Works Es-
cape Fire But City Of
Shanties Has Vanished

Hopewell, Va, Dec. 10.-The Dupont
Powder works on the edge of this war
time bomb town, with few scattered
residences, loomed up today amid char
red and smoking ruins-all that was
left from yesterdays conflagration.
A dense pillar of smoke marked the
funeral pyre Of the city.
But the fire which swept this place
almost off the map did not kill the spir-
it of its $4,000 pioneers who had build.
ed it in a few months on the strength
of war orders. They Set to work to
reconstruct along more permanent sub.
stantial lines.
Temporary shacks in town and at Pc.
tersburg and City Point housed refu-
gees who shivered under the sting Of a
cold wave. Fremen still played streams
Of water upon go acres of smoldering
debris to prevent sparks from igniting
the powder works.
Not until late last night did they
succeed in controlling the blaze. Sew
eral times it threatened to spread to
the powder factory.
Wild disorder followed. The city, like
a new Alaskan gold camp harbored
within its gates adventurers and bad
men following in the wake of the
boom.
A negro, caught looting, was lynched
just as two companies or crack militia
from Richmond pulled into town. Spe.
cial policemen had their hands full to
check disorder until the soldiers ar
rived.
More than 300 homes, il was estimat
ed today, went up in smoke, leaving
thousands homeless.

Say Chancellor Won HOllweg's
Speech Has Made 1t Now
Impossible
EaE Egl -
RESENT CHANCELLOR
BLAMING lHE ALLIES
Intimate War Must Go On
Until Germany Is Brought
To Terms
By Ed L. Keene.

Omitted Press staff correspondent
London, Dec. 10.-German Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollwegg's pronounce.
ment of Germany's peace terms has
practically ended all talk of early peace
so far as Great Britain is concerned.
Several high officials, whom the
United Press interviewed today, declar-
ed their conviction that not even the
most ardent pacificists see n quick end
ahead Newspapers not only shared this
view, but some Of them declared that
peace is more remote as result of
Hollwegg's S speech, than at any time
since the war began.
All resented the chancellor's attempt
to place responsibility on the allies; it
was regarded as for home consumption
to appease the growing demand for
peace within Germany
Referring to the chancellor's sar-
castle fling at England concerning al.
lied view of German violation of Bel
gian neutrality the Westminster Ga
zette said: eff Germany had entered
Belgium on invitation and then haf
found herself in difficulties through a
sudden change Of Belgian policy, the
analogy might begin to be debatable." "
The Evening STANDARD commented:
"It is certain that Germany aims to
surpass her previous efforts this win
ter and next spring. Let us therefore
be forewarned and forearmed."
The Stars comment was: owe see
now, as we saw in August, 1914 that
Prussia S military domination is incom-
patible with the liberty and public law
of Europe. We have no delusions left.
We accept proudly the foremost place
in this war Of liberation. We have
counted the cost and weighed the sac
rifice. We have endured much but we
are ready to endure to the end"

SUPREME COURT
UPHOLDS DRY LAW
IN WASHINGTON
All the Judges Concur In Con-
clusiOns--- Write
Separate Opinions
LAW GOES INTO ACTIVE
/ OPERATION JANUARY |
ALI Quibbhng and Red Tape
Niceties Of Law Are
Swept Aside

Olympia, Wash, Dec 10.-By a uran-
imous vote of the supreme court of the
state, the prohibition law, adopted
through the initiative by the people,
is sustained in a decision handed down
at IL o'clock this morning
Six of the judges concurred in the
opinion written by Judge Parker, while
Judges Chadwick and Fullerton wrote
separate opinions arriving at the same
final result, however.
Judge Bausman, recently appointed
to the supreme bench, did not partici.
pate in the decision because he was
not member of the bench when the
case was argued.
Concurring in the opinion written by
Judge Parker are Chief Justice Morris
and Justices Ellis, Holcomb, Main and
Mount.
The Parker opinion is contained in SO
typewriter pages 1t held the court
would not take judicial notice of de-
fective or insufficient publication of
election notices, even though the attor-
ney general consented that it should do
so. 1t was on this point that Justice
Chadwick wrote separate opinion, de-
claring that he was not entirely in ac-
cord with the other judges in their opin-
ion of "judicial notice." but that it
had nc, bearing in determining his vote
upholding the dry law.
Technicalities Ignored.
Judge Fullerton IS opinion stated gen
orally that he did not agree with all
of the reasoning of the majority but
there was no question about the correct
ness of the final conclusion
The Parker opinion held that the
court must presume all the necessary
steps had been taken by the secretary
of state which the law requires him to
take in the way of giving election no.
tees and other publications; that the
prohibition law did not fail of public
ity, as matter of fact; that the inter
state commerce act was not violated by
the provisions of the law; that the Ken
yon-Webb federal act established the
constitutionality of the state law; that
though the initiative amendment to the
constitution provided for laws to go in
TO effect 30 days after the people IS
ratifying vote, and the prohibition law
provided it should not go into effect
for over year, there was no defective
inconsistency.
The court held the "prohibition law
was in effect since December |, 1914, "
though its active operation is not to be-
gin until January l, 1916.
Other objections raised by Attorney
Howe in behalf of the "wets," the
ceurt held, are not proper ones for con
sideration in the present suit.
NJ. and X. Gottstein, wholesale liquor
dealers of Seattle, were the original
contestants, represented by Attorney
Harold Preston. Later several other
parties Joined in the suit as cocoon
plainants, including the Hotelmens as
sociation and a number Of breweries.

From her they gained no information.
Laughing at the officers, she defied
them to indict her, as she says they
threatened to do.
She admitted she had worked for
Crowley, but this was all officials
could get from her. She furnished bail.
No charge is laid against ner; she is
held merely as a witness.
