IMPOSSIBLE r E r NJ S
Wolff Bureau, Official Organ, Sends
Out Six Tentative "Feelers" For
Discussion. .i
Discussion.

London, Dec. 80. "A decision to
call new armies into the field by con-
seriprion, if necessary, is Great Brit
aims answer to what officials regard
as new "peace feeler" from Ger
many.
Press dispatches from Berlin and
Geneva today contain new peace
hints and report that the official news
agency of Germany, the Wolff Bureau,
has sent to newspapers summary OF
possible terms Of Feace.
This summary, according to the bu-
reau, was prepared and printed by
the Nue Zuericher Zeitung of Zurich
Though the Wolff Bureau speciii-
cally declares that, though circulat-
ing this summary, it is not represent
ing the government in putting ont
peace feelers," that view was gen.
orally taken here today.
British officials ridicule the alleged
German peace program, commenting
sarcastically on the idea that Ger
many would exact huge indemnities
from the allies.
The possible peace terms suggested
by the Swiss newspaper and printed
in Germany call for:
/. Evacuation uf Belgium and
northern France by Germany.
.. Establishment of Polish king
dom under the domination of Germany
and the payment Of a large sum an
nually to Germany by Russia.
>. Payment to Germany by Bel
gium of the sum Belgium formerly
spent each year on her armies.
4. Return of all German colonies
conquered by the allies.
5. Payment by the allies to Ger
many of an indemnity of about 3d.
6UU,OUU,UuU.
The peace terms, the Swiss news
paper declared, should also contain
some guarantees that Belgium would
enter ito no alliances with Ger
many's enemies. Germany probably
would maintain garrisons in Belgium
until the allies fulfilled all conditions
Of the peace treaty.
French claims upon Alsace-Lorraine
were ignored by the Swiss paper IN

gram,
The Geneva Tribune prints reports
that the German chancellor will visit
Vienna shortly with the object OF
opening peace discussions.

manic and Entente sources agree that
the probability of an Austro-German.
Bulgarian offensive against SalonlSl
is disappearing with the withdrawal
of the Bulgarian frontier guards TO
purely defensive positions well pc
hind the Greek frontier.
1t is declared in Vienna that the
Central Powers have come to regard
onv offensive against Salonlki as a
measure promising only embarraSs-
ments and no advantages In fact'
the Central Powers are inclined TO
regard the huge Entente force al
saloniki as safely cooped up, useless
and expensive, and that therefore II
would be an advantage to the Cen
trail Powers to let it remain there.
On the western front the German
official communication admits a
French advance: on Hiczstein, hut
rives no details. There also has been

cation speaks of the Russians ad-
vancing in serried lines 10 to l6 deep
which the artillery broke up with
huge Russian losses.
A dispatch from a German source

LARGE SHIPMENT

STEAMER TARP0M
ON TRIP FROM DOWN THE
COAST SATURDAY, OVER 1,15o
BARRELS WE'RE LOADED FOR
DISCHARGE HERE.

Over 1850 barrels of rosin were
brought from down the coast Satur-
day by the steamer Tarpon, which,
discharging such consignment at PEN
sacola, filled up again here with a
shipment of rosin for New York, and
last night at the usual hour, got away
on her schedule time.
The New York consignment, con-
sisting of several hundred barrels of
rosin, will be transferred at Mobile
to Mallory liner and by such
method, will be conveyed to New
York. This lot had been deposited on
the dock where the Tarpon berths
while in port, and the sight of over
375 barrels stored outside the ware
house proper attracted considerable
attention. Most of this was loaded
on the steamer yesterday, and she
left with about all the Mobile-billed
freight she could carry.
The consignment brought up by the
Tarpon upon arrival Saturday was
loaded on cars by the steamers owr
tackle, and later was transferred t.
the yards of the consignees north oil
the city.
| There are several vessels looked
for at the Central wharf berths to
day, and for that matter every day
this week, with the prospect of man,
hundreds barrels being received al
that place for the next few days.

Is Again jailed
Serving Greater
Part Life There

London, Nov. 2S.-After spending
'thirty-seven years in prison, John
Hartley, aged IS, has been sent to Jail
again for twelve months at the Lon
don sessions. Hartley's criminal Ca
reer establishes a record in its way.
His first sentence, a week in Jail, was
imposed in 1855 when only Fl years
old. Two years later, he got three
months. Thirteen other sentences fol-
lowed for burglary. In his old age,
the sentences were shortened. But he
has already served six months during
the present year. Hartley is SO feeble
that he had to sit in chair during
his trial, instead of standing up as
in the custom here. He pleaded guilty
to burglary.
