dropping off, which meant danger
and possible injury to passersby.
Then came the order for the tree
to be felled. 1t was, and still lies

England only if Germany had de- cIared war on England. If we were to blame for the war, if we had com mitted crimes against international law and if we had been defeated"
 Tke Lokal Anzeiger takes the view that MT. Lloyd Georges remarks aboat reparation are of no value, in- asmuch as nothing has been said about peace conditions. This news paper continues:
 eff Lloyd George means to post pone satisfying Europe's> desire for peace until the time when the entente is successful in conquering Germany's armies and those of her allies, then the whole. of Europe, as well Lloyd George, knows full we'll that this an- nouncement means eternal war unless it is in the power of the German em- pire to bring it to an earlier termina- tion than Lloyd George supposes."
 The Tageblatt says it proposes to await the promised reply of the en- tente, adding:
 ''F'or' the present 1t appears that the gulf is very great between Lloyd Georges standpoint and that describ-

t says that if the new government

It says that if the new government succeeds as well as it's predecessor the nation will be grateful and that if it succeeds better the nation will be more than grateful. At the same time the newspaper comments point out the possibility of negotiations being undertaken notwithstanding h e strong statements of the premier and Lord Curzon and their endorsement by members of the late government.
 The Daily News says that the door is not necessary banged and bolted and that the allies flat refusal of Chancellor Won Bethmann-H Hollweg's offer is not meant to indicate that the allies do not wish peace but that Ger many must ask it in the role of the vanquished and not the victor. The News expresses the hope that the al- lies will speedily agree on precise terms on which they will be willing to negotiate.
 Amsterdam, Dec. 20-Commenting on Premier Lloyd Georges speech, the Tageliche Rundschau, of Berlin, says:
 Preparation could be demanded by

London. Dec. 20-Premier Lloyd Georges reply to Germany's peace proposal meets with a chorus of ap- proval in the British press and the general comment is that if Germany really wants peace she will. when the joint reply of the allies is received, state terms which can form a base of, discussion. The Manchester Guar dian says:
 Premier Lloyd George has not shut the door on peace with that resound- ing clang for which some of his less balanced supporters in the press have been listening. It is true he insisted on the impossibility of accepting the German invitation as it stands, In this he was ably seconded by MT. As quith and will be approved by the country. The German Chan 'cellOr must be both more modest and more explicit before he can expect any favorable answer to his invita- tfon.T But the real danger in the sit uation which his offer created was that the allies, this country in par ticular, might be led into an abrupt and sweeping refusal, not merely of the actual invitation but of any pro- posal to-. discuss terms. This snare Lloyd George has avoided"
 The Guardian says that as the speech invited Germany to be more explicit, i've do not then cast out ev- cry idea of settlement and the neutral world cannot take exception to this attitude"
 The Guardian notes that the speech contained no hint of the crushing of Germany. but says discussion of any matter is conditional on restitution. In the truest form, it continues, re- paration is impossible, for the deep est wrongs cannot be undone
 Security we certainly require,'' the Guardian continues. "The best se- curity is the firm, unbroken reliance for the time when the war ends by a universal league to enforce peace In such a league America will play "a great; part and her presence alone would be no small security.p
 Expressing the opinion that Chan celIor vonr Bethmann- Hollweg will admit on reflection that the proposals of the entente allies. as outlined by MT. Lloyd George, formed a basis for discussion, the Guardian says:
 "There is in this as in all countries at war a great volume of opinion, too 7 little vocal, unfortunately, in favor of a serious effort on the part of Eur ope's statesmen to put an end to the carnage which is destroying the whole generation of the young.'
 The bulk of the morning papers agree that Premier Lloyd George ex- pressed the views of the British na- ton in his speech in the House of Commons dealing with Germa ny's peace proposal.
 Premier Lloyd George" says the Times, expressed the thoughts and wishes of the nation and laid down a program which will command it's hearty support"
 This is the tone of the comment in most of the other papers who hold that the Premier's answer and also Lord Curzons speech in the House of Lords are moderate in phrase. firm .

and unanswerable in substance"
 The papers declare that the nation is prepared and will willingly under take all the sacrifices foreshadowed and will face greater privations if necessary to ensure these ends of reparation and security which the al- lies demand from the central powers. There is nowhere any hostile criticism of the governments action but the Daily News contends that the fore cast the measures for organizing the nation do little. more than indicate that the policy of the late govern ment will be continued and extended.

Daintiness is the unfailing charm Of
women's apparel, and some little hint
or touch Of 1t is surely within the
reach of every woman. Soft gay
colors, sheer materials, the luster of
ribbons and the charm of lace are all
carried out In cotton as well as silk
weaves. The goddess of the looms
must smile when she contemplates the
great number of fabrics that her dew
otees turn out, in which beautiful
colors and dainty texture prevail.
They make a strong appeal to man
kind and therefore they sell.
Plated crepe de chine in a lace
trimmed slip is the foundation for an
ample coat of net in the exquisite

cream-colored lace banding. 1t is sus-
pended from the shoulders by narrow
pink satin ribbon. The ribbon Shout
der straps extend to the lower edge of
the yoke, passing under the lace. They

long and very full sleeves which are

Not every one finds use for boudoir

are short coats, made of accordion
plated chiffon, or crepe, that are
draped with the most cobweb-like Iaces.
They are worn over petticoats of plain
or Powered silk or over low-necked
slips of silk. These coats are made
in the lightest tnts and decked out
with ribbon or little chiffon flowers
or any other pretty extravaganza In
ornamentation. They are no less elab-

silks wear well and they will stand

France-were at that very moment

They are shown In black and taupe
