REFUSE PEACE OFFER
LLOYD-GEORGE SAYS WAR MUST
GO On UNTIL KAISER is
CRUSHED.
FULL PREPARATION DEMANDED
British Premier Declares Entente
Allies Do Not Propose to Put Their
Heads Into a Moose, With Ropes
End in Germany's Hands.

London, Dec. 21.-Premier Lloyd
George said in the house of commons
on Tuesday that it was felt that the
allies should know before entering on
negotiations that Germany was pre-
pared to accede to the only terms pos
sible for peace to be obtained and
maintained in Europe.
The premier said that without rep
aration peace would be impossible.
He declared there were no proposals
for peace. To enter into proposals of
which they had no knowledge was to
put their heads into a moose with the
ropes end in the hands of Germany.
Lloyd-George quoted the words Of
Abraham Lincoln: 1.-THE war will end
when the object has been obtained; un-
der God, it never will end until we
have attained this object" ;,
Much as they longed for it, the pre-
mier added, the central powers note
and the speech preceding it, afforded
small encouragement and hope for an
honorable and lasting peace.
The premier said it was proposed to
appoint director of national service
and that all Industries and services
would be scheduled as essential or nom
essential to the war.

Insurance Chief Reports.

In partial report on insuF
ance activities during the year
Assistant superintendent Frank B
Patrick. of the State Insurance Depart
ment, praises the insurance companies
for the readiness to make settlements
in disputed cases. There are an aV-
erage of six cases day in which COM
plants come and are found to be
valid IN perhaps twice as many cases
no merit is found in the claims, says
Mr.. Patrick. The standard form OF
life insurance policy in Ohio has large
ly eliminated issues upon this form
of insurance, he says, but "sleepers'
have been found distressingly com,
mon in health and casualty Insurance.
policies. The limited health and acci
dent policies are condemned as a
source of trouble. In another section
of the report Mr.. Patrick discusses the
fraternal insurance companies which
have become of large interest because
of recent reports of dropping o. many
fraternal insurance policies. The sub
ject is of peculiar interest at this time
UOCduSS d ASC0llI law nASS DOOOAaHOA
81 as the basis for future calculations
Mr.. Patrick says in part on this fea
ture:
'The complaints against fraternal
insurance societies received by the De
partment relate principally to the in
crease in rates. Under the Fraternal
Benefit Code of the State of Ohio,
known as the Mobile Law, all frateI-
nal organizations are required to bring
up their assessments to an adequate
basis, as practically all fraternal or
ganizations have been operating upon
inadequate rates and within few
years would have been insolYent and
| compelled to go into liquidation.
"The insured who has his rates sud.
denly increased as a general rule feels
that he is suffering an injustice, but he
fails to realize that he is in the same
situation as the person who insures
his house and buildings and during
that time has had no fires or losses
he has had the protection during ali
these years for the money he has paid
| out.

FROM THE BORDER.
Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and
Indiana Guardsmen Are Among
Those Released.

Chicago, Dec. 2O.-General Funston
on Monday designated 10000 troops
now In service on the Mexican border
to be returned to the states from which
they were sent In July. The Seventh
regiment Of infantry of Illinois was
among the troops ordered home.

the result Of a general order issued in
the war department recently.
The remainder of the troops making
up the 10000 are composed of regi-
ments from Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Indiana. Missouri, Maryland, Nebraska,
Iowa, New York, Wisconsin, Virginia

Washington, Dec. 20.-It was official
ly stated at the war department that
the order for the return of 10000 Ma
tional Guardsmen for muster out of
the federal service was not to be con-
strued as foreshadowing a movement

Civil Service Board Meeting.

Gov. Willis has announced that he
will attend the special meeting to be
held in the Office of the state civil
service commission of college presi-
dents and manufacturers of the state
when the plan for colleges of Ohio of
taking up the special training of young
men and women for the state service
will be under discussion. Representa-
tive manufacturers have written DR..
2. B. Campbell, president of the COM
mission, that they will attend the
meeting and will bring before it the
matter of training young men for serv-
ice in their plants. The demand for
trained young men was never greater
than it is now, and all of them have
number of jobs waiting for suitable
persons. 1t is argued that if the edu-
cational institutions of the state would
install special branches for this kind
of work these employers would be able
| to get men to fill places now vacant,
and it would be the means of more
young men determining their future
| through the added advantages.

Gas for Domestic Use.

The State Utilities Commission an
nounced it would insist upon enforce
ment of the rule that domestic con-
sumers be supplied with gas first as
long as the cold weather lasts. Both
Cincinnati and Cleveland officials have
appealed to the commission to investi-
gate the gas shortage. Many indus
trial plants in Ohio have been COM
PEELED to shut down because of the gas
shortage caused by the extreme cold
weather. A test suit is being heard
at Lancaster, Fairfield county, as to
whether gas companies can discrimi-
nate against Industrial plants and in
favor of the domestic consumers.
While the State Utilities Commission
has not been made party to this
suit, the commission is represented at
the hearing.
