London. Dec 13.-Premier Lloyd
George will refer to the speech of
the German chancellor before the
reichstag when he makes his state
ment in the house of commons one
week from today.
The vote of credit will be moved
tomorrow by Andrew Bonar-Law,
whose remarks will have to do
solely with financial matters.
The view expressed here is that
Germany would have the most to
gain from an armistice, owing to re-
cent losses on various fighting fronts
and economic stringencies within
Teutonic territory. For that reason
the prospect Of an armistice is not re-
garded with favor in London, and the
suggestion is advanced in some quar-
ters that one of the chief motives
prompting the proposal was to gain
time. Concerning unofficial reports
that one of the Teutonic proposals is
return to the status quo before the
war; except as to the creation or
Polish and Lithuanian kingdoms, 1t
is said here that this apparently is
Impossible from the British viewpoint,
as it would not provide any compensa-
ton to Belgium, whose defense always
has been referred to as one OF the
principal motives of Great Britain in
entering the conflict.
In the same circles Russia's refusal
also is expected Of any settlement
which would leave parts of Serbia
within Teutonic authority owing to
the bearing of the Serbian question on
Russia's entrance into the war.

DISAGREE ON OIL
LAND LEASING BILL

Washington, Dee l3. - Prolonged
efforts in congress having failed to
bring about IN o~rcement on an oil
land leasing bill which would meet
approval of the secretaries of the
navy, interior, commerce. attorney
general and western oil lands liti-
gants, the senate lands committee to-
day referred the question to a sub
committee to join like committee of
the house and cooperate with tho
government departments in final
effort.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said
that such a plan would be satisfactory
to the navy department, which is in
sistent upon retaining control Of naval
reserve oil lands. If the committee
cannot bring about an agreement
legislation at this session probably
will be abandoned.

The cost for operating expenses and
taxes per passenger mile for New Mex
ico intrastate business under this
analysis is 3.16 cents for 1915 and 3.08
cents for $10l6, without any allow
ance for return upon investment. If
to this cost is added a Z per cent re-
turn upon the proportion of the as
scssed value assgnable to the intra
state passenger business the full cost
OF hauling an intrastate passenger one
mile in the state of New Mexico would
be ASS cents for 1915 and 4.30 cents
for 1915. The actual average revenue
per passenger mile under the cent
rate in the state of New Mexico was
3.91l cents for the year ending June
80, 1915, and 3.59S cents for 1916.
What Passenger Traffic Shows.
In support of this analysis it is de-
sired to call attention to an analysis
made of the passenger traffic over the
lines of this company between Clovis
and Belen, during the period January
9 to April s, 1914, Inclusive. 1t was
found that the two passenger trains
operated on the line between Carlsbad
and Clovis during this period handled
an average of 24.3 passengers per
train mile with an actual revenue OF
so cents per passenger train mile, or
33 cents per passenger mile. The op-
Grating expenses per passenger train
mile without any allowance for taxes,
rentals or return upon investment for
this line in 1914 was $102; excluding
expenses assignable to mail and eX-
press, it was approximately 81 cents,
os cost per passenger mile of 20
cents exclusive of any return upon IN
vestment. The full cost per mile on
this line, including a return upon IN
vestment, would approximate cents,
whereas as an earning only 3.2 cents.
The cost per train mile on this line
for 1915 was $1.15, and for 1916 was
$1.21.
It was found that the two passenger
trains operated on the line between
Clovis and Belen during this same
period 2January 9 to April s, 1914, in
elusive, handled an average of I'll
passengers per train mile with an ac-
tual revenue of ~ cents per train
mile or "a cents per passenger mile,
as compared with an operating eX-
pense per train mile for the year 1914
of $1.17; or excluding the expenses
assignable to mail and express "a
cents, cost per passenger mile of Az
cents, including a return upon invest
ment. The full cost per passenger
mile on this line would be in excess of
cents. 1t was found in the analysis
that the majority of the traffic on
these lines was intrastate, so that
these results can be taken as typical
of the cost of conducting local traffic
in the state of New Mexico.
Low Density of Travel.
The low density of intrasta- 'ravel
is another explanation of the high CO
of conducting intrastate business IN
this state and the necessity for higher
rates than are maintained in states
with greater 7Tqsity. During the year

GERMANY JUSTIFIES
SINKING THE LANA0

Washington, Dec. ia note of
explanation by Germany in response
to the American inquiry concerning
the sinking OF the steamer Lanao ON
october 2S, reached the state depart
ment today through Charge Grew at
Berlin. 1t says the ship was sailing
under the British flag and was sunk
by submarine after provision for
the safety of her crew, because she
was captured carrying contraband and
could not be taken into port,
The only question at issue In the
case is whether the vessel was under
American registry, i'm which ease Ger
many ould be liable for damages to
her owners. 1t is admitted that she
was sold by her owners In Manila be-
fore starting on her last voyage, but
her master has reported that the ac-
tual transfer Of registry had not taken
place. This point will be investigated
further.

Paris, Dec. 13.--If reply is made
to the German peace note 1t will be

of France, and such conversations
would require considerable time. In
quiry in responsible quarters today
elected the opinion that Germany's
suggestion is maneuver designed
first, for effect at home; second, to
impress neutrals; third, as a test of
public opinion in belligerent coun-
tries; with the chance of some re-

rejected in authoritative quarters,
