ALLIES REPLY TO
GERMANY WILL BE
WARLIKE IN TONE
Determination to Continue
the Struggle Apparent in
Official Circles-Identical
Notes to Be Sent by En-

BY ED l. KEEN,

NOh'1eo Tress StaH CorreSPohoent)
London, Dec. 23.-There
isn't any peace and good will
in London tonight-for Ger
many. The nations enmity
for all that England regards
Germany as typifying was,
on the contrary being or
ganized, unified and directed
for Great Britain's most eff
fort at warfare Christmas,
1916, finds a new England.
It comes just as the new
"Man of the hour" is start
ing his reformation.
Lloyd-George has barely
started the wheels in motion
vet, but the initial impetus
has been given and Britain's
war machine will gain mo-
mentum with every day from
now on.
Semi official information tonight was
that the reply which the allies will
render to Germany's peace proposals
will go forward within ten days. 1t
will be a New Years greeting setting
forth the entente's indomitable purpose
to proceed rclentlessly with their war
until PREPARATION, restitution and guar
lntee" is made certain.
That determination to continue, rep
resented in Lloyd Georges vast plans
eor harnessing every ounce of strength
lhe nation affords, will there be for
mally announced through diplomatic
notes The United States will be the
agency of communication, just as
Smeriea was Germany's messenger.
IDENTICAL IN FORM.
The British note will be identical in
sofm and phraseology with the notes
# refusal for a German made peace
which every one Of the allies will re-
turn to Berlin. Necessity for concen-
tration as to the phraseology of these
Identical notes is all that prevents an
immediate answer The allies know
what to say--but they want to say it
IN exactly similar terms of strength.
one OIneF IH1nB that Will pfODdDly
delay the dispatch of this note of reply
to Germany is necessity that the docu-
ment should not only return answer to
the imperial chancellor, Won Bethmann-
Holweg but that ii also, in some meas
IRE, make indirect answer to the pleas
for peace expressed by President Will
son.
AMERICAN REPLY NEXT.
England hasn't yet begun to frame
reply to the American note. After the
German reply note, however, it is ex-
pected a more courteous explanation
of Englands demands and purposes in
he war will be transmitted to America
to be taken in connection with the
German note, as complete answer to
.ho United States.
English newspapers still professed
entire inability to understand what
President Wilson was driving at in his
note, and the statements of Secretary
Lansing simply added to the muddle
Of trying to find some reason. The
euesses at Wilson's intentions ran all
the way from indicating belief that he
was Interfering" after falling victim
10 the German peace propaganda, to
ironic suggestion that perhaps he was
'unwell.'
England will have quiet Christmas;
4 Christmas of stock -taking-of what
England has lost: of the sacrifices and
Efforts she must put forth to win
henceforth.

While there was no discussion at the
meeting Of the chamber of commerce
as to the advisability Of Governor
Pinkham's sending Charles r. Forbes,
superintendent of public works, back
to Washington, the fact that Mr..
Forbes can not be spared from his Of

Forbes said yesterday afternoon. b.

statement showing that the actual cash
deficit on the last day Of 1918 in the
municipal general fund was $I26,5lO.-
81. This will have to be taken up by
saving in expenditures in 1916 He
Estimates that IL the taxable value
OF the real and personal, property of
the city is raised $4,000, 900, which he
tn.nks is possible, then the net value
sessable will be $96,O00,0O and with
t'e rate at 1878 would net the gov
'erBment $I,2I5,O8O. The territorial
"dget of $545, 564.62 deducted from
this would leave for the purposes OF
the city $669,525 .3S. 1t is estimated
that there will be about $4,000 of the
tax not collected and this will come
out of the city 5 share of the amount
collected. For the purposes of the
permanent Improvement Fund and the
cash basis fund of the city, there win
he needed $l62, 1854 ,3S and i$48, 900 res
pectively, the latter sum being one,
twentieth of the Assessment.

this must be added the general re-
oeipts from regular revenue SOURCES Of

sum available for the general fund to

he appropriations thus far made this
six months amount to $3Q5,Sll .35
leaving a balance available for the
next six months of but $2S0,82l.T9.
The auditor closes his estimate with
the warning that "this balance j:
hardly enough to carry the current ap
] lOpriatioh bill for the second half OF
the year, and does not allow for one
dollar for roads for Honolulu, Wailus
