The Economist says it believes -'Germanys cry for peace is actually 9 confession of internal weakness prompted by distress at home ard the difficulties she is experiencing Tn keeping her ill-assorted team of allies together and in fighting trim
 Commenting on the signs which it says American business men have shown Of believing that Germany's action has brought peace nearer, the Economist says.
 This belief will only prove to be well founded if Germany is prepared to accept terms that can be agreed upon by all the allies opposed to her and will embody the achievements of the objects for which the allies are fighting. If Germany is ready for peace that will satisfy the victims Of her aggression and protect civilization against some attempts to ride rough shod over international decency and justice. the smashing of Prussian mill itarism will be complete"
 In discussing the German proposal at d dinner of the Steel Shelters As- sociation tonight, Arthur Henderson. member of the British war council. without portfolio. said that the gov ernment knew nothing concerning the { text of the proposals and that Ger many's motive must remain q matter

the event of failure they will exploit at home the refusal of the allies to accept peace in order to rehabilitate tottering morale of their population.
 But there Is another senseless mo- tive in that they fail to understand the true spirit which animates Russia. Our enemies deceive themselves with the vain hope that they will find among us men cowardly enough to allow themselves to be deceived, if only for a moment, by the lying pro- posals. That will not be. No Rus sian heart will yield. All Russia will rally more closey around its august sovereign. who declared at the very beginning of the war that he would not make peace until the last enemy soldier had left our country. and for the general collaboration which con stitutes the only sure means Of ar irving at the end, we all have at heart, namely. the crushing of the enemy.
 The Russian government reprdlates with indignation the mere idea of suspending the struggle. thereby per mitting Germany to take advantage of the last chance she will have of subjecting Europe to her hegemony. The innumerable sacrifices already made with violation Of premature peace were concluded with an enemy whose forces have been shaken but not broken and an enemy who is seeking a breathing space by making deceitful offers of a permanent peace
 "In this inflexible decision. Russia is in complete agreement with all her valiant allies. We are all equally con- vinced of the vital necessity of car rying on the war to a victorious end and no subterfuge by our enemies will prevent us from following this nafh fn the end

Concrete Peace Condition,

conservative party in the reichstag adopted resolution which now is pub lished, says the Overseas News agency, declaring that the peace offer made by the central powers is based naturally on program of concrete peace condi- tions. These conditions. the resolution continued, are unknown. but 1t consid- CTS 1t evident that no negotiations will be carried on in order to obtain peace at any price. but the conditions planned should guarantee peace which will safeguard Germany's fu- ture"
 The preamble to the resolution de- ciares that the peace offer Is a matter Of highest historical importance" The resolution recalls the feeling Of self reliance exhibited in the simultan- eous orders 10 the army and navy. and declares that 1t is probable that the entente, nevertheless will interpret the peace offer as a sign of weakness. The conservative party. 1t adds. had sug- gested that the whole reichstag add to | the announcement of the peace offer a demonstration of an unflinching will to win. which certainly would have been expressed by all parties with the | possible exception of the extreme left wing of the socialists
 The resolution then recalls the an- nouncement of the imperial chancellor that the German nation through its chosen representatives will have an 1 opportunity to take a definite stand on the question of the ending of the war and concludes by stating that the con servative party expects that the ad
 vantage gained by the blood of our
 brave troops will be made the basis of a peace, which, according to human un derstanding. will guarantee the mill tary, economic and financial future of
 the country"

Ono Mild Iptereet

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, Dec. Is. (via London) = tfrom a Staff Correspondent of the Associated Press'- Germany's pro- posal to enter into peace negotiations created only mild interest among the officers and soldiers of the British ar mics in France.
 Most of the officers expressed belief that the proposal was merely a diplo- matic diversion, following Germany's successes in Rumania and intended to magnify those successes into a vital phase of the war.
 It was expected that Emperor Will Hams manifesto to his troops might lead to demonstration in their front line trenches but British officers say they have not seen any demonstrations anywhere.

Little Rock, Nov. 28-Several state
senator's known as not being very
friendly to the incoming administra-
ton will hold conference in Little
Rock next week with a view of select
ing one of their number to represent
their faction in the contest for the
senate presidency.
1t is hard to tell who they will
agree upon, as three or four members
OF the faction are candidates. The
other faction, known as friends of
Governor Chas. H. Brough, will hold
conference later in December to
agree upon their man.
Senators Davenport of Searcv and
Garrett of Clark county are the names
prominently mentioned as administra-
ton candidates. 1t is practically set
tied that one of the two will be pre-
sented to the senate caucus, in oppo-
sltion to the senator selected by the
other side. Senator Sims of Hazen
expects support from both factions.

being friend of Governor Brough as
we'll as the senator's who are not class

Governor Brough is at Fayetteville
and says he is "hands off" in the
fight for the control of the senate
and house. Lee Cazort of johnson
county, Brooks Nor1eet of Forrest
City and Bert Brooks of Pulaski seem
to be the leading aspirants for the
speakership. Eastern Arkansas, it is
expected, will present an almost solid
front for Mr.. Norf1eet, while several
counties in various sections of the
state feel kindly disposed toward Mr..
Brooks, as he served in the legisla-
ture several years ago with several
representatives who will occupy seats
