SAYS WAR MIST GO ON.
Russia Thanks Wilson But Says Peace
Now Is Impossible.

Petrograd, Dec. ~. NJ. Pokrovski
the Russian foreign minister, in an in
terview with representatives Of the
press, discussed the three great ques-
tions Of the day--the German peace
proposals, President Wilson's note and
the attitude OF Greece.
After recalling the recent duma dec
larations in regard to the German peace
note, NJ. Pokrovski passed to the action
Of President WILSON,. saying Russia ap-
preciated highly the good will and the
lofty, humane motives of the presi-
dents note, but he declared it could
alter In no way the political situation
created by the false and hypocritical
moves Of the Berlin government"
Complete Refusal by Allies.
AS the note coincided with the Ger
man proposals, he said. the ideas of the
Russian government in regard to Mr.
Wilson's action were almost analogous
with those which had been set forth by
the Russian press, that Is to say, the
governments attitude in regard to both
questionsS was one Of complete refusal.
Nevertheless, he said, the allied gov
ernments would reply with all possible
fullneas. They would reiterate that
they would continue the war until the
ravaged territories had been restored
and until there had been created a
state OF affairs III which the. existence
Of small nations would be assured and
in which new worldwide confiagra-
ton would be impossible.
Program Of the Entente.
The foreign minister summarized the
program of the allies 40 follows;
First-There has been no change in
the relations between Russia and her
allies ~
Second-Th minister declared with
firm assurance that after the war the
military alliance Of France, England
md Russia would be consolidated in a
close economic union.
Third-The war will be -eontinued
until a decisive victory has been won.
Speaking OF Greece. NJ. Pokrovski re-
asserted that the entepte powers would
not tolerate for moment any attitude
on the part Of that country that would
AFFECT their military interests seriously.
He said measures already had been
taken and that othergs Of "a military na-
ture shortly would be carried out which
would put an end once Tor all to Greek
vacitlat ion. n e

WIN Unity Germany.

However the allies may take the
peace offer, it will convince the Ger
mans that the kaiser has done his best
to end the war, and that If the offer
is rejected it is because the world has
conspired to destroy Germany. 1t it is
rejected, eevn the socialists could
hardly say word in behalf of peace.
Thus whether the war ends or not the
step is likely to tend toward unity in
Germany, at Least Springfield (Mass.)

BISbEE HAS GREAT
 RECORD FOR 1915 IN FIRES AND INSURANCE
Less in Bisbee from Fires, Last Year, was $1, ,793, while In- surance Loss was S1, JAP. Is Enviable Record.

One of the best records in the state O. Arizona from a standpoint of fire losses has been accomplished by the Bisbee fire department in the past gear. In that time the loss, on buildings and contents from fire and water, has amounted to s1,79S, and the insurance on that amount was S1, ,142.
 For the past six years, or since the present chief has been with the de pertinent, the fire losses have been gradually decreasing. In 1910 the loss was S11,360 and the insurance S9,755 in 1911, loss S7,O57.50; insurance S4,- 957; 1912, loss sS,O1O, insurance s5,- 125; 1913, s5,5O9. insurance $2,394 1; 1914, loss, S4,7SS. insurance s2,S24.25.
 Such a gradual decrease in the fire losses of any community give rise to the feeling of assurance in regard to protection and is a distinct testimo- nial of the general conditions of Bis bee, which make for better moral hazards, to the fire department and to the fire prevention education.
 In the latter part of 1914, the city of Bisbee, at an estimated expense of SS,000 built a second engine house, in Upper Tombstone Canyon. A com. plete equipment was installed in this branch and the total has been a re- lief to the property owners in that section of the city and a guarantee against serious fires.
 The number of runs, the number of times that water has been turned on, the number of times where fire has been extinguished by the appli- cation of the chemical fixture dis closes an excellent record.
 In the face of the almost insur- mountable obstacles which the fire underwriters and the fire department has to contend with the loss of last year is truly remarkable. The char acter of the ordinary dwelling house in the city is bad, in that they are mostly frame and. except in a few cases, are exposed on a number of  sides. In some places the buildings are in frightful shape and serious fires are eliminated. only, by constant work on the part of the department and an efficiency that is remarkable in as small city as Bisbee
 IL is understood that the record of the past six years, bettering each year as it has, will be sent to the board of fire underwriters for the Pacific Coast division in San Fran cisco. Though no great reduction in fire rates can reasonably be demand ed, yet the record, the present efficien- cy of the department, the excellent moral hazard of the city and the wa ter supply will go a long ways to- wards inducing that body in making a reduction in Che rates of fire insur- ance.

PHOENIX-Owing to heavy rains and snow in almost every part of the state, construction work on a large number of road and bridge projects has been suspended according to a statement by State Engineer Lamar Cobb Concrete forms for the center piers of the bridge across the Agua Fria river west of here were swept away by a flood that completely sub merged the work, and threatened material stored on the banks. Con victs employed in road camps between Tucson and Florence have been com pelled to suspend operations owing to the cold and rainy weather, and other camps are similarly affected. Work in Cochise and Apache counties has not been stopped by the weather con ditions.
 Heavy snows are reported from Gila county points, where in many cases the record for years has been broken. A ten-inch fall of snow is re- ported from Bellvue, with eight inches at Payson. Stage lines between Globe and Payson and Globe and Christmas have been compelled to suspend traf- fic.

GLOBE-Arizona' freak legislation is again made the subject of ridicule, this time by Richard Matthews, whose article on Shooting of the Solid" appears in the current number of the Saturday Evening Post. Hal lett. who recently worked at the Old Dominion mine here in order to gath CT local color for a series of articles on mining. calls the anti-blacklist law of Arizona a dangerous measure, which prevents the employment or careful employees and leads to the hiring of irresponsible men, by req son of the fact that the character and references of the prospective em- ployee cannot be inquired into.
 "The company's one resource is to try a man for one shift" says Hallett. If he blows up a handful of his broth CT workmen, he thus gives proof that he is incompetent. He may then be fired without legal risk to the com pany. The next employer of the man may not inquire into this transaction, indeed will never hear of it"
