OFFICIAL COPY OF PROPOSALS
 IS TRANSLATED
Shows Press Reports of Ger man Note Substantially
 Correct.

Washington, Dec. 15--An unoff1- cial translation of Germans note to the entente nations proposing peace negotiations, made here from copy of the official French text obtained while accurate in substance, pre- viously published version had many of the documents sentences out ot their proper order.
 The translation follows:
 "The most terrible war which his- tory has known has been ravaging a large part of the world for two years and half. This calamity, which the bonds of thousands of years of a com mon civilization have not been able to prevent, is injuring humanity in its most precious heritages. It threatens to plunge into it's ruins the moral and material progress which was the pride of Europe at the dawn of the twentieth century.
 ''In this struggle Germany and her allies - Austria Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey-have given proof of their unconQuerable strength by achieving important successes over adversaries superior in numbers and in war materials. Their unshaken lines of resinstance continues against attacks of the armies of their adver- saries. The last diversion in the Balkans has been speedily and vic- toriously thwarted. Recent events have demonstrated that the prolonga- tion of the war would not be able to break their power of resistance: On the other hand, the general situation justifies them in hoping for further successes.
 "It was to defend their existence and the freedom of their national de- velopnents that the four allied pow CTS were forced to take up arms. The achievements of their armies have not altered this purpose. Not for a single instant have they departed from the conviction that respect for the right of other nations is in no way incompatible with legitimate in- terests. They did not seek to shatter or annihilate their adversaries.
 Conscious of their military and economic power and ready, if neces- sary, to continue 70 the very end the struggle which has been forced upon them, but inspired at the same time with the desire to stop the flow of blood and to put an end to the to the horrors of war, the four allied powers propose to enter forthwith to negotiations for peace. They are convinced that the proposals which they will submit and which aim to insure the existence. the honor and the development of their peoples, will be appropriate to serve as basis for the re-establishment of a permanent peace.
 "If, despite the offer of peace and reconciliation. the struggle should go on, the four allied powers are deter mined to continue to the end, dis claiming solemnity before humanity and history responsibility therefor" {"

over its non-arriyal is unreasonable
and absolutely weakening.
Remember. also. that by letting
our minds dwell on petty troubles
we distract our attention from the
important things with which We
ought TO be occupied-the duties and
tasks. the responsibilities and oppor
tunities OF our daily life.
Consequently no man who lets
trivialities annoy him need expect
10 maintain a high level OF working
power for any length OF time.
That is 20 say. his surrender 70
the trivial involves a handicap on
efficiency as well as on character
Everybody wants to succeed
everybody wants 70 be happy. every.
body wants 10 be strong. These
are laudable desires, all OF which
the little mishaps OF existence can
frustrate-if We allow them TO.
Mastering them by ignoring them.

more swiftly 20 the goal Of our de-
sires. Test this statement for your.
self without delay.
