26 Trapped in H-3 Saved;
Fought Death for Hours
Grew Threatened by Chlorine Gas Fumes While Sur
Hurled Submarine About, Bruisng Men
Rescue Made by Breeches Buoy

tenant Bogusch said tonight, by empty
ing the divers tanks, was the greatest
factor in saving the lives of her crew,
as her decks were too wave-swept at
the greater depth TO permit her crew
to crawl out long enough to haul
aboard a buoy line shot aboard by coast
guards from the Eureka station. Pull
ing out in their cutter, the coast guards
men finally made fast line, and the
last man splashed TO safety through
the surf at o'clock.
Thousands OF people witnessed the
rescue The coast guard crew and vol
unteers were aided by men Of the
Cheyenne.
Coast guardmen shot a line across
the bow Of the H-3 as darkness set in.
Watchers on shore saw that the sub
marine became more steady in the surf
as the line was made fast. Then a
breeches buoy was rigged and the res
cue work began.
in dense fog the H-3 struck sand
spit while cruising from Puget Sound
on her way TO the Mare Island navy
yard, in San Francisco Bay. She was
accompanied by the Cheyenne and the
submarines HI and H.. Officers Of
the Cheyenne said they believed the
accident was caused by the engines
Of the H-3 becoming disabled.

Stock Drop More Severe
than in Tuesdays Rush

The fall in security prices yesterday
was far more severe and farreachlng
than that of Tuesday, when the hrst
news OF Germany's peace overtures
reached Wall Street. Starting with
slow liquidation. combined with press
ure from professional traders operating
for the decline, the market became IN
settled early in the day.
The confidence OF the day before
when traders bought back part of the
stocks they had sold on Tuesday, was
entirely lacking. and il soon became
apparent that holders OF speculative
issues, especially those of companies
engaged in war business, realized that,
after all, there must be some basis Tor
the peace talk.
Early declines we're not large, but as
prices failed to rally. the selling stead
liz increased until the last hour, when
the movement reached climax. Lead
ing industrial shares at the close
showed losses of | 20 10 points while
a few of the less active industrial is
sues declined 25 points and more.
Losses in railroad shares averaged
point.
The decline. reaching its climax in
the last hour was materially assisted
BY a series Of bear drives, which dis
lodged many weak bull accounts and
effected what the speculative fraternity
is accustomed to call "houseclesn-

REPARATION AND SECURITY,
ENGLAND,S STAND, SAYS LAW;
ARMAMENTS BAR TO PEACE
OFFER AIMS TO REVIVE
WANING GERMAN SPIRIT

Petrograd, Dee. Lt.-A
semi-otfcial statement on
Germdny's peace proposals
tonight says:
The lack of sincerity and
the object of the German
proposals are evident. The
enemy government, hav:
need of heroic measures to
complete the gaps in their
armies. Germany is project
ing a sort of serfdom in the
guise of compulsory military
service.
The German government,
in order to uplift the hearts
of its people and prepare it
for fresh sacrifices. is strly-
ing to create a favorable at
mospherc with the following
thesis:
We are struggling for our
existence; we are proposing
peace; it is refused us.
Therefore, the responsibility
for the continuation of the
war falls upon our enemies.

BRITAIN MEASURES HER
STRENGTH BY DOLLARS

London, Dec. 1i.-Regi-

Chancellor of the Err

Commons today that Brit
aims ability to help her
allies ras measured By her
ability to change her 7redlh
into dollar exchange. He
said:
The extent of our ability to
meet the demands of our al
lies is enormous. but there i.
one restriction. namely. that
it will not be easy to convert
sterling wealth into dollar,
wealth. We must pay in dol
lars for what we buy now all
over the world, and that is
the limit of our power to help
our allies.

Japan Only Gamer

The government is putting the reve-
nues from this traffic directly into the
war chest, with the result that when
the war is over Japan will stand among
the belligerents as having profted
hugely from the war at almost no sac
rifce OF men or money. She will be
the one nation on which the awful cost
Of increased armsments will have no
deterrent effect.
In view Of this, il is not seen how the
United States, however appealing may
be the dream Of universal laying
down OF arms, can join a league of ma
tions for tha, purpose. Just as Ger

NOPEACE NOW,
RUSSIAN VIEW
A Semi-OffCial State
ment Predicts Offer

Petrograd, Dec. l4.-The peace pro-
posal of the Central Powers is re-
garded by the Russian government as
"an attempt 10 court public opinion
and encourage the people of Germany
by appearing to put responsibility for
the continuation of the war upon the
Entente Allies"
The proposal has been received by
official Petrograd without an atom Of
sympathy. An official of the Foreign
Office made to-day the following state
ment. which has been issued by the
semi-ofricial Petrograd News Agency:
"The new appeal Of our enemies IS
not their first attempt to throw upon
the Entente Powers the responsibility
for the war they let loose. In order
10 obtain the support Of the German
peoples, who arc tired of the war, the
Berlin government many times has had
recourse to fallacious words of peace,

an view of the fact, however, that
the Allies, with strong unanimity, re-
iec.ed all these attempts, our enemies
had 70 think Of a more serious plan.
They to-day are making, in spite Of
their confidence in their military and
economic power, an appeal 20 the
United States, Spain and Switzerland,
announcing their anxiety 20 enter into
negotiations for peace.
"The object pursued by Germany,
however, ia clear. She speaks OF re-
spect for the rights Of other nations,
but at the same time che has already
introduced into Belgium, Serbia, Monte
negro and Poland regime of terror
and violence As for the future, Ger
many has proclaimed an illusory inde-
pendence fer Poland; she proposes 20
divide Serbia between Bulgaria and
Austria, economically to subJugate Bel
GUM and cede 10 Bulgaria part of Ru-
manian territory
Everywhere the idea of the hege-
mony of Germany preGominates. The
latest speeches of Won Rethmann-H Holl-
veg show the true aspirations Of the
German government. But to-day, when
the Entente Powers have proclaimed
their unshakable determination 10 con-
tinue the war TO a successful end and
70 prevent Germany from establishing
her hegemony, no favorable ground
exists for peace negotiations.

similarly due TO the same interested
considerations, the German government
is Obliged to carry this question out
side of Germany. All the world recalls
these attempts, notably its ballon'
d'essai, which we're sent up IN the
neutral countries, particularly the
United States.
"Seeing the inanity Of such methods
which deceived nobody, Germany at
tempted TO create peace atmosphere
which would allow her to consolidate
her aggressive and imrerialistic ten
dencies. while sowing discord between
the Allies, by seeking to make public
opinion believe that separate pour
parlers were in progress between her
and the Entente Powers. There were
also persistent reports of separate
peace.
