MASSING U-B0ATS WILSON STRIVING
FOR NEW SEA WAR TO SAVE HOLLWEG
Germany Plans Outbreak
of FrightfuIness, Britain
Believes
fBy Cabs 70 Tho Tribunal


London, Dec. 24.-Britain and her al
lies are preparing as rapidly al possi-
bl. for the new outbreak Of submarine
frightfulness which they firmly believe
will follow their rejection of Ger
many's peace offers. Ii is known mere
that before any official mention OF
neace was made President Wilson was
Informed that Germany still had big
card to play, and Britain has no DOUBT
what that card is.
The an-Germanic party is again
agitating violently for the shelving Of
the Bethmsnn-Hollweg government and
the return Of Won Tirpitz. For the
last three months Germany has been
Using submarines which are far larger
than those sent out earlier In the war
and which are thus able to operate TO
greater distances and for a much longer
time from their bases. They have been
exacting heavier toll of neutral and
Allied shipping.
In the German press semi-of1clai
stories have exaggerated these losses,
until the people believe that Britain Is
facing immediate famine, only Ter
many's pledge TO President Wilson sav-
ing her. The German shipyards have
concentrated on the building Of SUB
marines for the last six months, since
the battle of Jutland.
New U-Boat Orders Expected
From these facts the deduction IS
natural that if the German peace over
lures fail the submarine commanders
will receive orders TO sink practically
everything in sight. dispensing entire
ly with the formalities OF warning or
examination before firing their torpe-
does. The defence will be that all
Allied ships are armed cruisers ana
that all neutral vessels are carrying
contraband- everything will come
under the German rulings which have
been elaborated in the long and futile
correspondence between Berlin ana
Washington.
When the Kaiser and Bethmann-
Hollweg made their peace offer they
lad considered fully the policy they
would pursue if it were refused. as
thew evidently expected it TO be. Ger
many appreciates fully the effect Of a
veal economic situation on nations
fighting strength. To cripple Britain,
France and Italy would be worth more
than a hundred fresh divisions OF
troops 10 Germany.
But so long as Germany IS forced
TO consider its pledge 70 the President
submarines are unable to operate at
the maximum efficiency Of frightful-
ness. Germany wishes to keep on good
terms with the United States, but
nothing would please her better than
an excuse for violating that p edge.

Customers of the Consumers Water
Company, of Montrose, are told to pay

borough against the Water company
adjourned until Wednesday, January
10, in an option filed by Public Service
Commissioner Michael ]. Ryan. The
decision sets forth that the company
has filed a report setting forth the
cost of filtering plant, of providing
n ground supply of water and of es-
tablishing improved fire protection
with other data called for. 1t also
suggests another system of improving
of the water supply.
In order that the matter may be
