PEACE PROPOSALS
NOT YET IN HANDS
OF ENTENTE GROUP
Plain Hints That Teuton Move
Will Not Be Accepted Given
in House OF Commons; Re-
fuSal, However, Will Not Be
HaSty

Associated Press BY Federal wirelessl
LONDON, Eng, Dec. 14.-5onar
Law this evening Indicated 5ritain's
attitude toward the Teutonic peace
proposals by declaring to the MEM
tcrs CT the house Of commons:
"ln mcyiao the last vote Of credit,
Premier Asquith said that the Allies
require that there shall be adequate
security for the future. That Is still
the policy and stiI the determination
Of His Maiesty's government" This
statement was greeted with cheers.
Premier Iloyd-Georee was expected
to speak but has very severe cold,
which took a turn for the worse to-
day and he remained in bed. 5onar
Law during the day moved vote OF
credit for $4oo, 100000.
LONDON, England, Dec. 14.--While
Premier Lloyd-George did not appear
in the house Of commons today az the
time he was expected to make an I'M
portant speech en- Allied policy, >
statement indicating British refusal Of
the supposed German terms was made
by Bonar Law, chancellor Of the ex-
ehequer in the new coalition cabinet.
E'r Law said that Britain has not
yet received the Teuton proposals for
peace, and added significantly that the
Entente Allies require adequate rep
araticn for the past and adequate secu-
rity fer the future.
He also announced that the daily
average of EnsIsnd's war expenditures
amount to 5,710coJ pounds. The ae-
tuaI expenditure, he said, had exceed.
ed the estimate owing to the increase
in munitions and the nsesssity for
additional loans on behalf Of the other
allies and the British dominions.
Lord Cecil, the new secretary Of
state for the blockade,s said that the
blockade which the Allies are carrying
out against Greece does not imply
state Of war existing between Greece
and the Entente group. He told the
house that there would soon be pre-
sentsd certain demands upon Greece
for the purpose Of clearing up the sit
uation.
: (Associated Press by Federal wireless)
WASHINGTON, D. c. Dec. a.
High diplomats Of the Entente ennbas-
sizes here reflect the view that the pro-
posals Of the Central Powers will not
be rejected without an examination
but that the Allies will probably call
for a definite statement Of the pro-
posed terms.
Identical notes emhodying the pro-
posaIs of Germany and Austria arriv-
ed here this afternoon and are being
prepared so that the president and
Secretary Lansing can forward them
to the Entente Allies as soon as pos
sible.
OTTAWA, Canada, Dec. 14.-Aet-
ing Premier Foster today eabIed TO
Premier Lloyd-George:
Canada is with you for vigorous
prosecution of the war until a COM
pIete victory is attained"
BERLIN, Germany, Dec. 14.-The
French took the offensive at verdun

one letter to Colonel Roosevelt gave
John w. McGrath, the coloners chief

the letter. II was one of the most

In conclusion the writer inclosed his
personal check for 20 cents, payable
to Theodore Roosevelt, to compensate
the colonel for the time spent In
reading this letter"
The check stumped McGrath. He
knew very well how to handle the let

matter So he Ventured into the pri-
vate office where the colonel was die

TWENTY SIGNED THE PETITION
Prominent Men Didn't Know II Askcd
Hanging of Preachers.

To demonstrate the truth of his
contention that the average business
man is so compliant he will sign al
most any petition put before him in
evident good faith, one of the mosI
prominent business men Of Admission,
Ala, circulated among thirty business
men Of that city petition that the
city council appoint a committee to
hang every minister Of the gospel in
the town. and twenty signatures were
promptly attached.
The petition started by asking the
city council to adopt an ordinance ex-
cusins the ministers from paying a
sanitary tax. The document was
couched in legal language and ambled
along with numerous whereas" and
"whcrefore" until the final paragraph
was reached, when it was shown that,
in order to make payment of the tax
unnecessary, the ministers would have
10 be hanged.
After the joke on the signcrs. many
Of whom are conservative, influen-
tial bankers, manufacturers and mer-
chants, became generally known some
of them ran TO cover by declaring they
knew all along IL was joke. But
others frankly admitted they did not

Beaches.

Beaches are stretches OF land bor-
dered on one side by the ocean and
on the other side by summer hotels
and amusement concessions. Beaches
are covered by sand, pebbles, seaweed,
ocean breczes, rude stares and bath
ing girls. The waves of the sea touch
the beach on one side, and the hotels
and amusement schemes touch those
who visit the beach on the other side.
Love is frequently made upon the
beach. but 1t is seldom any more en-
during than any other house which
Is reared upon sands. Some people
visit the beaches because they enjoy
the ocean brecZes. Many people visit
the beaches because they have moth
ing to do and because they know that
there is less than nothing to do on q
beach, and because they are sure thai
they can find any number of idle peo-
pie to help them do it. Other people
visit the beaches because they have
nothing to wear. and because they
know that next to nothing is worn on
a beach, and because they are sure
they will find any number of idle peo-
pie wearing next TO nothing.-Life.

The game was bagged in much the

Sarnered the previous two of the

precisely alike, that one might go so
far as to say that the mania for break

and causing much palpitation of the
heart among the blear-eycd fans has
become a habit. In the first game
of the series the men of Wooley
cleared the lines in ninth inning
