Iclaim the victory Of the central pew.
 CTS.
 The allied governments cannot ad- init an affirmation doubly in exact and which sutfices to render sterile all tentative negotiations. The allied nations have sustained for 90 months l a war they did everything 10 avoid. They haye shown by their acts their
 attachment to peace. That attaoa- | ment is as strang today as 1t was in 1911. But it is not upon the word of Germany after the violation of it's en l easements that the peace broken by her may be based.
 "A me-e suggestion without state ment o [ terms that negotiations should be opened is not an offer 1f peace. The putting forward by tn imperial government of a sham pro posal lacking all substance and pre- cislon would appear 10 be less an of- fer of peace than a war maneuver IL is founded on calculated misinterpre- tation of the character Of the strue- gle iu the past, the present aad fu-
 ture.
 As fof the past. the German note takes no account of the facts, dates and figures, which established that the war was desired, provoked and de elared by Germany and Agstria-Hun- gary.
 At the Hague conference it was a German delegate who refused all proposals for disarmament In July. 1914, it was Austria-Hungary who, ar.. e. having addressed to Serbia an ul- precedented ultimatum dec ared war upon her, inspite Cf the satisfaction which had at once 'been accorded.
 The central powers then rejected all attempts made by the entente to bring a pacific solution oi a pure.y local conflict.
 Great BrSain suggested a confer ence; France proposed aa interna-
 tional commission; the emperor of Russia asked the German emperor to gu to arbitration, and Russia and Aus tria-Hungary came to an understand ing on the eve Of the conflict But to all these efforts Germany gave neither answer nor effect

londcn. Dec 30.-The joint reply of the entente allies to the German peace proposal was issued today il the form O. an official commun ca ton giving the text of the note, The reply characterizes the German pro- posal as "illusory," declaring that "a mere suggestion without a statement of terms that nes tations should be opened, is not an offer Of peace
 After anaiyzing Germany's motives in proposing peace negotiations the note says:
 Fully conscious og the gravity of t'hisImoyomelt, but equally conscious sof it's requirements. the allied govern ments, closely united to one another and in perfect sympathy with their peoples, refuse to consider proposal which is empty and insiucere.'
 The note also declares:
 Once again the allies declare that no peace Is possible 50 long as they have ont secured reparation for vio- lated rights and liberties, the recog- hilton of the principle of natonalitics and the free existence of small states so long as they have not brought about settlement calculated t3 end once and for all forces which have constituted a perpetual menI ce to the nations and to afford the only es- fecDYe guarantees for the future se.

 The text of the note follows:

President Insists or
 Railroad LegisIation
Makes Special Trip to Copitol Re- garding A amendments to the
 Addmson Law.

Washington, Dec. 30.--President Wilson today emphasized his desire for railroad legislation supplementary to the Adamson law by making a spe. ctal trip to the capitol to confer with Senator Newlands, chairman of the commerce committee. who will have charge of eXpediting through congress the measures recommended by the president in his recent message.
 MT. Wilson found Senator Newlands preparing for committee hearings on the railroad measures to begin next Tuesday. The presidents arrival at the senate office building late in the day was unexpected to members of congress generally and the visit aroused unusual interest in the rail. road situation.
 Although Senator Newlands would learned from an authoritative source that recent railroad developments pending settlement of the constitu- tionality of the Adamson act have not altered the presidents view regarding supplementary legislation and that he still particularly desires passage at this session of the measures he reeom- mended. They are designed to pre-. vent railroad strikes pending inves tigation of disputes and to empower the president to take over railroad. telegraph and telephone lines in times of military necessity.
 This desire. Mir. Wilson is under stood to have presented earnestly to Senator Newlands. Tonight the sena. tor said he proposed to urge action on the arbitration bill and other rail. road measures as soon as possible. ?
 eI do not know what the other mem- berS Of the committee klnk. Nc. add.

gin Tuesday morning on the arbitra- ton bill"
 Whether President Wilson disclOses any alarm over reports of a threat ened strike since negotiations be- tween brotherhood officials and rail- road managers fin New York were broken off could not be learned. After his visit to Senator Newlands the president sought to locate Representa- tive Adamson. who has charge of the railroad legislation in the house, but learned that he had not returned to Washington from his holiday vacation.
 Senator Newlands, speaking of the railroad situation generally, said he did not believe there was any imme- diate danger of a strike and that the railroad employees would await the deliberate judgment of congress re- garding legislation on the subject
 Railroad men are men of intelli- gence." said the senator, "and real ze that labor disputes should be set tied by some fair tribunal and that punishment for differences betweea( employer and employe should not visited upon the public.
 The attention of the country the importance of legislation on thF/ matter has been drawn as never be fore and. in my judgment. action ol congress will be very decisive insofar as any attempt to tie up commerce., is concerned"
 President Wilson has not kept touch with details Of the negotiation u between the brotherhood represent tives and the railroads but is undei stood to fear that the failure to reacl an agreement may lead to reope ing of the entire controversy.

BASEBALL SQUAD
 PICKED AT YALE
Blue Nine Hopes to Open Its Sea-
 SOD on April 8

New Haven, Conn.,, March 30.- Captain Roly Vaughn, of the Yale baseball team, announced last night the tentative makeup of the Yale squad for the Southern trip during the Easter vacation. which will begin April 19. Seventeen men arc included in the list.
 They are: Munson, Watrous, Gar field, Walsh, Neville Bush, Boyle, Crotty, Armstrong, Early, Holden, Shelpley, Thomas, Shell, Johnson, Kin ney and Vaughn. The Yale team will go into training next Monday.
 It now seems likely that only one game on the Yale schedule will be cancelled on account of weather con- djtons. Most of the Yale diamond is free from snow and prospects arc that it will hc fit for the Amherst game April 3.
 Two injuries have marred the Yale practice thus tar. Dud Nudge, catch CT on the Yale team two years ago, has left for his home in St. Paul to recover from an attack of grip. He is expected to return before the Am herst game. Stub Early. who is eX- pccted to play an outfield position, is laid up with an injured knee, suffered while sliding in the baseball cage. The hurt is not serious enough to keer him out of the early games, although he will be unable to practice for somc time.
