meeting was scheduled for this after
noon at the White House and there
was no doubt 1T would be discussed
there. The foreign embassies and
legations received their first informa-
ton of the event through Associated
Press dispatches. On every hand the
discussion turned to what had moved
Germany and her allies to make their
proposals at this time. Although for
many weeks there have been persistent
and officially denied reports that some
peace proposal was about to be made
by President Wilson, there was no
open indication that the central powers
themselves were about to make one
Generally the announcement was a
distinct surprise throughout diplomatic
circles.
Terms Acceptable to British Allies
The prevailing opinion was that the
Germanic allies had brought out heir
peace offer at this time with the eX-
pectation of making terms which
England and in effect might possibly
cause the British government to yield
to the pressure of the nations fighting
with her. In this connection the re-
cent crisis in Russia. in which the
duma interfered to prevent the nego-
tiations on separate peace with Ger
many. was recalled as an indication of
what the German foreign Office might
be looking forward to in peace nego-
tiations. 1t has been generally ac-
knowledged in entente circles that eff
forts would be made by Germany to
conclude peace separately with her
enemies. but so far all the entente ma
tons have reiterated their intention to
adhere to their agreement made early
in the war not to make separate
peace.

Austrians Make Official
Statement on Peace Offer

London, Dec. 12.-An official Aus
trian statement, referring to the peace
offer, says:
when in the summer of 1914 the
patience of Austria Hungary was ex-
hausted by series of systematically
continued and ever-increasing provo
cations and menaces, and the mon
archy. after almost fifty years OF. un-
broken peace, found itself compelled
to draw the sword, this weighty de-
cision was animated neither by aggres-
sive purposes nor by designs of con-
quest, but solely by the bitter necessity
of self defense"

representatives declare, is to affect the
world opinion of neutrals and place
upon the entente powers the response
bility for continuing the war in the
face of offers for peace. The second,
they declare. is for the internal effect
in Germany, and to give evidence to
the people that the government was
ready to end the war but was forced to
continue by her enemies.
The peace offer, the ally diplomats
also say, has been timed to follow the
military victory which eliminated in
the fall of Bucharest. which in itself
is relied upon to convince the people
that they should lack no confidence in
the ability of the government to con-
tinue the war, if peace offers are de-
clined.

Week

Two of Danville's distinguished cit
liens, +. j. Remington and Rev. p.
M. Kendall, honored the noonlday
luncheon of the chamber of com
merce with their presence Wednes-
day ana both gave delightful little
talks.
Mr. Remington, who spoke first
manifested a keen interest in the ac-
tivities Of the chamber of commerce
and congratulated the organization
on the personnel of it's membership
as seen about the tables.
Referring to the active work which
the commercial organization has un-
dertaken in attempting to interest a
larger number of Knox county farm
ers in scientific agriculture, he told
Of county in Iowa which has de-
veloped apple-Eaising to perfection
plus, all by means of providing a mar
ket which consists, in a large part,
of vinegar plant where the lower
grades of apples may be utilized in
the making of this product.
He stated that, in his travels
through the country, he has observed
very few young orchards, the vast
majority being old and neglected. 1t
is the belief of Mr. Remington that
much could be accomplished by pay
ing attention to this feature of horti-
culture.
Rev. Kendall spoke of the tremen-
dous advantages of commercial or
ganizations in cities, citing one little
village in Washington was built into
small-sized metropolis 10y the aid Of
strong chamber of commerce.
In Canton, Rev. Kendall said, the
chamber of commerce multiplied its
membership tenfold by an active cam
paign not long ago which has result
ed in real booming of the city.
Chairman j. S. McCrackin an
Dounced that, for the luncheon next
Wednesday, the secretary of the New
ark chamber of commerce, George III.
Mosser, would be present. He de.
scribed him as an exceedingly keen
and alert man with all manner of
good things to say.
A letter Of thanks was read from
members of the Baptist church for
the automobile ride, provided the
delegates at the recent state conven-
tion by the chamber of commerce.
Secretary Leroy G. Mayer called at
tention to the fact that the hearing
on the Chesterville- e-Fredericktown
road will be held in the court house
on Nov. 10 at IL a. m., when argu
ments for and against the changinf
of the route from the upper to the
lower road will be heard. Secretary
Mayer pointed out that it would be tc
the interests of Mt. Vernon to have
the road through Fredericktown. HI
spoke of the attempt that is beini
made to put road through from
Mansfield to Bellville with the ides
of attracting trade northwards.

learned that in the disposition of the
