British Irritation
Nav Be Succeeded
by Listening Mood

London, Dec. 13-The German peace
proposals made little apparent prog
ress in winning British sentiment dur
ing the first "a hours of the animated
discussion on the subject by the pub
lie and press. The general trend of
this discussion continues highly criti-
cal but there is some indication that
the first impulse of irritation will be
succeeded by a calmer and more con-
sentative view in some influential po-
litical quarters.
This disposition not hastily to re-
fuse to listen to the proposition is re-
flected in the Westminster Gazette,

GERMAN REPLY

members of their families this number is
increased threefold or, in rough figures,
one and a half million persons, from the
standpoint of Belgian economic right,
upon which these unemployed infilct a
heavy burden, as also from the standpoint
of public order and public morals, which
are most dangerously affected by general
unemployment and the accompanying
consequences, this situation makes 1t ex-
tremely desirable and urgent that efficient
measures for improvement be taken. Thls
necessity has been recognized and point
ed out also by fair minded Belgians for
long time.
Belgian industries being in depressed
condition 1t was impossible to procure
for all the unemployed work. or at least
proper employment within Belgium ITSELF
The only thing possible therefore was to
assign them to work in Germany. where b
large number of Belgian workingmen mad
already voluntarily accepted work. were
we'll fed, were receiving high wages and
were enjoying far-reaching liberty OF
movement For these workingmen, how
ever, that did not support their families
coercive labor was used.
"In Accordance with Law"
"These measures are completely IN ac-
cordance with international law, for ac-
cording to The Hague convention relat-
ing to war on land Paragraph 49, the oc-
cupying power is obliged to undertake the
maintenance of public order and public
life in occupied districts and for this pur-
pose, as far as the country's laws prove
insufficient, to act by complemental or
ders. The maintenance of public order
without doubt implies that ableoodied per-
sons as far as possible are not TO De
thrown upon public charity, and by lole-
ness become a public calamity and NUS
ance. but that they must be held to worn.
The order has been carried out with all
possible consideration and without harsh
ness. If isolated mistakes have happened
in the selection of persons sent to Ger
many and if. especially, thsWeasure mas
been extended to persons where conoi-
tons of the order of May Is, 1915, are not
fulfilled, the cause has been that the Bel
gian authorities frequently failed to CO.
operate in drawing up a list of the unem-
ployed or reported in correct fashion.

U. S. PEACE MOVES

the President. Opinions among SEN
ators differ, he said.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, probably will visit Secre-
tary Lansing in day or two for the
purpose of seeking some indication of
the views of the United States. He
has no specific instructions from his
government on this point and no dis
patch regarding the peace proposals
mas been received by the embassy
during the last "a hours. The ambas-
sador, however, is keeping his govern
ment informed of prevailing opinion
on the question in America.
AT least one diplomat representing
neutral nation in Washington has
planned to ask his government to au-
thor1Ze him to present in its behalf to
President Wilson assurance Of support
in any move designed to secure con-
sideration by the Entente Allies of the
offer to discuss peace. Other repre-
sentatives of neutral nations have
similar action under consideration
In Teutonic diplomatic quarters, II
was reiterated tonight that Germany
expects neutrals. especially those in
Europe, to do everything possible to
bring about at least discussion of
peace terms.
Terms PurposeIy Omitted
The German embassy had no further
advices on the terms of the Central gov
ernments, but it was freely admitted that
terms had purposely been omitted from
the chancellor's speech and the note be-
cause the sole purpose was to propose a
conference on terms and carefully avoid
advancing any which might be made the
basis of refusal.
Probable Entente Action
The Germanic diplomats in this country,
rejecting the views Of their governments,
believe the answer of the Entente Allies
will be an inquiry as to the basis on
which Germany proposes peace.
The probability of the Entente Allies
themselves making some announcement
of the terms on which they would make
peace is regarded here as having ire
mendous possibilities for effect upon the
German people themselves.
The President cancelled all his out
side engagements today and remained

red with Colonel E. NJ. House, his
friend and adviser. who m1de a trip
to Europe to sound out peace senti-
ment several months ago. Colonel
House may go again If the President
makes q move to accompany Ger
many's proposals with suggestions Of
any character.
The London press comment on the
peace offer is known to be in accord
with confidential advices coming to
this government before Chancellor
Won Bethmann- Holiweg's speech and
the note were published. How far this
comment represents the views of the
new British government can only be
surmised.
In quarters close to the Entente Allies
an opinion prevailed that if the Entente
Allies made reply their first course might
be to inquire what guarantee would be
given by Germany that the terms Of
peace treaty would be fulfilled and that
a treaty would not be violated. as, the
Allies contend. in the case of Belgium. BY
making such reply Entente diplomats
see the responsibility for continuing the
war thrown back to the Central Powers

UNIQUE HEATING SYSTEM
Chicago Journal )

 Whether 1t is practical or not, the new system of heating for homes devised by Swedish inventor certainly has the distinction of be- ing unique. It is designed for houses of from four to ten rooms, and which is especially intended for localities where electrical current is inexpensve. The system consists of two tanks. Q nlotor-driven rotary pump and the necessary radiators and piping. One of the tanks is placed in the attic of the house and thernlally insulated In it are pIac- cd the heating units which normally are only operated at night when the rates for electric current are low. In the morning the heat ing units are disconnected from the supply circuit and the motor-driven purnp started The water flows
