House Marks Time.
While the senate leaders acceded
flatly to the presidents demands, the
house continued its efforts to secure
q compromise. The foreign affairs
committe, badly split as between re-
pudiating and sustaining the presi-
dents submarine policy, had evolved
a dozen different proposals which
might meet the situation. The COM
mittee meeting was called for 2:30
o'clock this afternoon. Sentiment in
the house was largely in favor of con-
tinuing to delay action, the presidents
opponents being DESTROYS of leaving
the situation as it is, and the presi-
dents supporters hoping for n
Strengthening of their lines. Advo.
Gates of warning resolutions claimed
that the number of members opposed

TURN DOWN PEACE
PLAN OF GERMANS
CONTINUED from page l.,

crowd at parliament as there was to-
day
The premier's announcement, await
ed in the seven days since the imper-
iaI German chancellor, Won Beth
mann-Hollweg made his first an
nouncement of the peace proffer, was
made today.
without reparation, peace is i'm
possible" Lloyd-George declared. "All
the outrages on land and on sea can
not be liquidated by few pious
phrases about Humanity" he con-
tinued.
The premier compared Germany's
peace proposals to moose, wherein
England and the allies were asked to
put their heads, while Germany held
the loose end of the rope.
1--WE have done our best to make
certain that disasters similar to that
in Rumania will not recur," the Brit
ish prime minister asserted. THAT
is why we have taken such strong
action with Greece.
THE government has decided to
recognize agents, of former Premier
VeniZelos.
The German chancellor's speech
and the note afford small hope for an
honorable or lasting settlement. The
phrases about self-defense are meant
to delude the German nation. Great
Britain never wished to check German
development.
The Rumanian b1under was unfor-
tunate," the premier continued, "but
at its worst, it will only serve to pro-
long the war"
'It is cruel folly" the prime min
lister continued, If swashbuckling
through the streets Of Europe is not
deal with as an offense against
the law of nations.
I'VE will wait until terms and
guarantees are better than those
which Germany has lightly broken
Rather the thrust of an unbroken
army than broken faith"

Second Day Of Meeting.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Dec. 19.-If
Of the American-Mexican
do not come to an end
today, the outlook here is for ex-
tended meetings and adjournment
over the holidays with a possible
change Of headquarters to New York.
The joint commission entered its Sec
ond day of business here today.
Following the official announce
ment last night Of Carranza's refusal
to sign the protocol, the American
commissioners took up the objections
pointed out by PAM Discussion of
the same topic was continued at to-
days early meeting.
A rock-ribbed attitude has been
adopted by the Mexican commission
and there seems little probability that
the Philadelphia meetings Will come
to an end before Friday.

Will Make investigation

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-Ohfo con-
ton OF charges of guardsmen of the
Eighth Ohio infantry, about to be
punished for signing a round robin"
protest against alleged neglect by
medical and quartermaster authori-
ties at FL Paso.
81 expect to as ka congressional in
vestigation of circumstances OF al
legged neglect that according to the
guardsmen resulted indirectly in the
death of one militiaman," said Repre-
sentative Emerson. Cleveland. 1T
these men are to be punished for max.
ing protest, 1t is only Just to deter.
mine whether there was basis as they
claim for the protest"
The Ohio guardsmen, he stated,
ought to be able to present a case
without arbitrarily being punished for
signing concerted protest.
Other Ohio presentat1ves-
among them Representatives Gordon,
Fess and Crosser, stated they pre-
ferred to await developments before
starting an Investigation. A charge OF
neglect by~any responsible person,
showing bad conditions, they said, un.
doubtedly would be followed by an in
vestigation. Army men privately
viewed the dissatisfaction in the
Eighth Ohio border regimen: q: an ar
sument In support OF their contention
that the militia system is q failure.
Army men, as professional soldiers,
scott at the spirit OF the militia and
ask how the militia would feel and act
II they were in real war.
Baker Not Interested.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 19.-Secretary
of War Baker today said he does not
intend to ask General Bell for any Off
cial report on the "round robin" pro-
test OF the Eighth Ohio national guard.
If Bell reports to him, and it requires
any departmental action, the secre-
tary naturally will take 1t. But thus
far no mention whatsoever has come
to the department officially.
Reducing Number on Border.
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Dec. 10
National guardsmen on the Mexican
border will be reduced to $4,000 by
the departure of 10000 more state
troops for their home stations within
a few weeks The various militia
units to be mustered out are located
in eight different stations and will be
moved in three groups. -
The first group will begin entrain-
ing within three days; the second
within ten or twelve days and the
third between January to 9.

CHICAGO. Dec. 19.-Wheat-Weak-
ness in cotton and strength iE stocks
were taken as evidence that the Brit
ish government would not acqMesce
in Germany's request for peace nego-
tiations. Developments of the morn
ing tended to confirm this belief and
wheat on that account, ruled sharply
higher. 1t was also helped by export
orders which, while obviously a fac
tor, was denied by seaboard interests.
The advance from the low point OF last
Friday has been too quick to encourage
investment buying at these levels.
Purchases should be made only on
sharp breaks. which are certain to
come from time to time in market
so influenced by foreign politics and
war activities.
Corn-December corn continued to
hold it's strength and throughout the
morning sold at a premium over the
May. Receipts are light and many
contracts for December shipment are
being cancelled. Premiums for cash
corn are weakening, and some deliver
les on December contracts are ex-
pected within week. Foreign news
and domestic yields are bullish fac
tors, and only moderate breaks may
be expected.
Oats-While oats futures were
strong, the cash market did not ad-
vance fully with them, due to the diff
Guilty In securing freight facilities.
Liquidation has been thorough and
