Declared Basis of Free Trade.

"On even terms" That is exactly the
basis of the democratic free-trade pol
icy Republicans are fundamentally op-
posed to placing the American producer
on even terms with the producers of
Europe and Asia. We believe in higher
standards of living and also in the
higher wage scales which are essential
thereto.

"THE greatest tenor since since,
4 Rubin, greater than
Gayarre?
Such tribute has been accorded
Hipolito Lazaro, the tenor who at
the age of twenty-sIx possesses
voice that has already swept
whole countries into alteration.
Lazaro today can out-top the
miphtiest tenor feats of music.
Not only is there no voice of
greater power, but there is no
tenor with such range or control.
In Lazaro the world is listening
TO a vocal miracle, voice that
will be recalled in future genera
tions as the great world tenor.
Lazaro's appearance on the

PROVISIONS
The Russians and Rumanian Troops in Retreat in Dobrudja Have Reached a Point Where They Either Must Make Stand or Cross the Danube.

The Russian and Rumanian troops who have been in retreat before tke Teutonic allies in Dobrudja, seeming ly are now at point where they either must make stand or cross the Danube into southwest Bessaraoia or into Moldavia in the region of Galatz
 The latest official communication from Berlin says that in Dobruoja the Russians have retreated past their newly fortified positions in the north and that the Teutonic allies are now advancing toward the lower Danube
 Aside from the announcement of the capture of more than a thousand Rus sians and Rumanians and the taking of numerous vehicles loaded with pro- visions, no mention is made by Berlin of the advance in MoldaVia. In the Carpathians the Russians and Teu- tonic allied forces continue fighting, but with no great victories falling to either side.
 In all the other theatres artillery en- agreements preponderate. only small in fantry actions having taken place any where. Berlin records attacks favor able to Turks and Bulgarians in t!le Struma region of the Macedonian front.
 On the right bank of the Mouse river in the Verdun sector the French and the Germans throughout Tuesday fought spirited artillery duels, espes cially near BezonvauX, the Caurieres wood and Chambrettes. The infantry of neither side left their trenches. Reciprocal bombardments took place along the British front in France and also along the line in Belgium.

ESPONSIBILITY HAS BEEN
 PLACED ON CARRANZA
Of Deciding Whether Atnicabie |
 Settlement Of Differences is Possible. i

Philadelphia, Dec. 19.-Secretary of the Interor Lane and his colleagues on the Mexican-American joint com mission placed on General Carranza today the responsibility of deciding whether the American government should continue it's efforts to effect satisfactory and anicable adjustment of the two countries and then ad- journed until after the holidays.
 Through his representatives on the commission they sent to Carranza a communication further explaining the position of the United States govern ment and containing protestations that there exists no intention to violate the sovereignty of Mexico. It was made clear, however. that there can be no modification of the conditions on which the American troops will be with drawn from Mexico and that the atti- tude of the government as outlined in tn edeclaration of policy made by Secretary Lane when the protocol was signed at Atlantic City has not been altered.
 The communication was terse, but studious care had been exercised to keep out 0 fthe document any phrase ology that might give offense to the Mexican executive. It was not more than 450 words in length. It was handed to the Mexican representatives in joint session and transmitted by them almost immediately to Queretaro, where, it is expected, it will receive prompt consideration from General Carranza. It was cabled and a copy sent by mail.
 The message of the Americans was fin reply to that presented by the Mexicans when they reconvened here yesterday.

CONTROL
 OF RADIO OPERATORS
Proposed in an Administration Biz
 Before Congress.

Washington, Dec. 19.-First steps toward ultimate government control of all radio communication between the United States, it's outlying possessions and ships at sea, are proposed in an administration bill laid before con- gross today providing for a sweeping revision of the laws regulating wire less stations.
 The proposal is in line with plan worked out nearly a year ago by navy wireless experts and endorsed by Sec retary Daniels and other administra ton officials in an informal suggestion to all of the American republics for uniform government wireless control throughout the western hemisphere.
 As an initial step, the. measure pre- sented today would authorize the fed eral government to purchase comner- cial stations where the owners are willing to sell at a fair valuation; would permit governmental ownec plants to be operated for private ccrn mercial business; and in the interest i of national defense would throw re- strictions about the participation of aliens in the control or operaton of American wireless. Every private con cern operating in the United States would be required under the bill 70 bring at least two thirds of it's stock under American ownership and to have a two-thirds ajority of Americans on it's board of directors. No alien would be licensed as an operator in any land plant on American territory.
 The bill, drafted by representatives of the several executive departments interested, was introduced in the sen ate by Senator Fletcher, member of the commerce committee, and Tn tiIe house by Representative Alexande2-, chairman of the merchant ma. lne committee. The expectation is that 1t will be pressed for passage during the present short session.

 BRITISH WAR POLICY
Tells House of Lords it Must be Con- ducted With Utmost Prosecution.

London, Dec. 19.-In presenting the policy of the government in the house of lords, Earl Curzon, who is a mem Der of the new war council, said:
 "The policy of the new government is that the war must be conducted with the utmost prosecution; that there must be an ample return for all sacrifices; that full reparation must be made by the enemy for his count less crimes and security given that those crimes will not be repeated and that the sacrifices made shall not have been made in vain
 'The governments aim is that the peace of Europe shall be re-esIablish- ed on the basis of the free and inde- pendent existence of nations great and small and that as regards this country it shall be free from the men ace which the triumph of Germany and the German spirit would entail
 Our answer to Germany's latest move must be swift and sure It is not too much to ask the people to take upon themselves for few months the obligations which Ger many has imposed upon herself. The nation is fighting for it's life and is entitled to the best and fullest service of it's sons"

Boston Strongly
 in Favor of License
LARGEST VoTEE EVER CAST
 ON LICENSE QUESTION
A MAJORITY OF B, 3,4e2
No-License Forces Were Represented by Many Workers in Every Precinct Advocates of License Were Con- veyed ct Polls in Brewery Wagons.

Boston, Dec. 19-Boston today voted to continue the licensed sale of liquor after the liveliest campaign on the liquor question that the city has had in years. The vote in favor Of license was 53,459, with 29,997 against. Last year the vote for license was 4C,1iG and 31,S77 against.
 The total vote was the largest ever cast here on JIe license quesrlo1, ana the majority of 23,462 for license has been exceeded only three times in the city's history. The largest majority ?S,613-was recorded in 1905.
 Hundreds of Conveyances.
 The liquor question overshadowed all other. issues in the campaign and both the license and no-license forces were represented by many, workers :n virtually every precinct. Hundreds of conveyances were used to carry voters to the polls.
 Women holding banners bearing pic lures of small children on which were printed the words Please protect us by voting no-license'' were stationed in the vicinity of most of the polling booths Motor trucks and brewery wagons carrying printed appeals to vote Yes were sent through the C!ty by the license forces.
 Sunday Took Prominent Part.
 Rev. William A. Sunday. who is conducting an evangelist1c campa1gn here, took a prominent part in the fight. He delivered several addresses on the liquor issue and urged the voters who attended his meetings to vote 'TNo." The Massachusetts Anti Saloon league sent out thousands of circulars and kept force of orators busy for weeks.
 No-License Workers Puzzled.
 
 No-license workers were at loss to explain the decrease in the No vote from last years figures. Suburban and residential districts which had been counted upon to poll heavy ma jorities for no-license returned major ities for license, many of them of a substantial nature. Liquor interests asserted that many voters in these districts who ordinarily voted No" ir order to keep. saloons out of theil particular wards, changed their votes to Yes this year because of the feal that the entire city would go dry and that the revenue derived from liquor licenses would be lost Four members of the city counci and two school committeeman were chosen. Daniel J. Mcdonald, James A Watson and Francis J. W. Fora were elected to the council for three year terms and Alfred F. Wellington who was unopposed, was elected fol one year.
 Michael F. Sullivan and Henry Abrahams were elected to the schoo committee for three-year terms.

New York, Dec. 19.-Prices broke Violently on the stock market today after the publication of the remarks of Lloyd George on the German peace proposals. The downward movement did not begin, however, until an hour after the receipt, about one o'clock, of the first excerpts from his speech, During this time. as the fragmentary additions came in. Wall street spent one of the tensest sixty minutes in its history endeavoring to interpret the significance of the British N pre- mier's discourse.
 Confusion and perplexitvs seemed to reign, which was reflected in hesitan- cy, little rallies and declines and a bound upward before the slump be- gan. Then, suddenly. the stock tick CTS began to reel off the message that stocks were being offered down. The market fell off rapidly and before the final hour of trading was over, ex- treme declines of from to 10 points had been registered.
 Probably never in history has Lon don been such an overshadowing fac- ter in the New York stock market as today. Trading during the morning was irregular, with only a nominal output The market was marking time. Interest in what Lloyd George would say was at high pitch in every quarter of the final district and bus
 mess waited exclusively for word from
 the head of Great Britain's new min istry.
 The first excerpts from the speech were preceded by the publication of private cables purporting to outline the text of that address. Prices act ually rose on these advices, illustrat- ing the markets extremely sensitive condition.

bassy.
 Officially Washington virtually is unanimous, however, in the opinion tlhta the British premier's speech has shown that any positive action by the United States toward mediation not only would be premature but might embarrass such action later.
 It was stated authoritatiyely tonight that for the present the United States would only act as an Intermediary transmitting communications between the belligerents.
 The German embassy interprets the British premier's speech as opening the door to a further discussion al- though the German diplomats, inti- nlately familiar with the aims and the views of the central powers, make no attempt to conceal their uncertainty regarding the outcome Of such negotia- ,tions. They feel, however, that if the note replying to the German coplmuni- cation follows the tenor of the prem iers speech, the entente, from the Teutonic viewpoint has done all eX- pected of it and has brought the idea of a peace conference one step nearer realization.
 Tt appears from the British premiers speech" said Count Bern storff, the German ambassador, in an authorized statement, that the answer of Great Britain will not end. the mat ter.

 This action follows the appointment of receivers in the federal courts of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh yesterday and it is probable the state will seek to obtain sole Jurisdiction over the companies by asking that the appoint ment of federal receivers pc revoked.
 Both concerns are concerned by the same interests.
