RUSSIA REJECTS PEACE
PROPOSAL OF TEUTONS
Considers German Proposal Fresh
Proof Of Weakness and a Hypo-
critical Act.

London, Dec. 1S.-A dispatch to Reu-
ter's Telegram company from Petro-
grad says: The Duma has unanimous
" passed resolution against the ac-
ceptance of the German peace propo-
sails, after spirited speech by the
minister of foreign affairs.
The text of the resolution, as re-
ceived here, follows:
1.-THE Duma, having heard the state
ment by the minister of foreign af-
fairs, unanimously favors a categori-
cal refusal by the Allied government
to enter, under present conditions, into
any peace negotiations whatever.
"It considers that the German pro-
posals are nothing more than fresh
proof of the weakness of the enemy
and hypocritical act from which the
enemy expects no real success, but by
which it seeks to throw upon others
the responsibility for the war and for
what happened during it, and to excul.
pate itself before public opinion in
Germany.

NOTED PSYCHOLOGIST
DIES WHILE LECTURING
Hugo Munsterberg of Harvard Univer.
sity Passes Away Suddenly in
Classroom Filled With Girls.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. 1S.-Hugo
Munsterberg, professor of psychology
of Harvard university, died suddenly
Saturday while lecturing before 4
class at Radcliff college.
Professor Munsterberg, on the lee.
ture platform, was seized with what
appeared to be a fainting spell. Some
of the young women members of his
psychology class, of whom there were
60, went to his side and then called on
the college physician, DR.. Jewett. The
latter reached the stricken teacher
just before he expired.
With his last breath the professor
attempted to quell the disturbance
which spread through his class of girls
as he fell to the floor. Professor
Munsterberg was born June 1, 1863, IN
Danzig, Germany.

GIVEN RESPONSIBILITY OF SET
THING BORDER PROBLEM.
American Commissioners Send New
Communication Explaining Stand
of United States.

Philadelphia, Dec. 20. - American
joint commission placed upon General
Carranza the responsibility of decid-
ing whether the American government
should continue to seek an amicable
adjustment of the relations of the two
countries and then adjourned until
after the holidays.
Send New Communication.
Through Carranza's representatives
on the commission they sent to him
communication further explaining the
position of the United States govern
ment and containing protestations that
there exists no intention to violate the
sovereignty of Mexico. 1t was made
clear, however, that there can be no
modification of the conditions on
which the American troops will be
withdrawn from Mexico and that the
attitude of the government, as outlined
in the declaration of policy made by
Secretary Lane, when the protocol
was signed at Atlantic City, has not
been altered.
Commissioners Are Hopeful.
The communication was transmitted
almost Immediately to Queretaro for
consideration by General Carrarza
Neither the American nor the Mexican
commissioners appeared pessimistic in
their contemplation of the future.
1t was believed by the Mexicans that
they would receive from Carranza a
reply within week or 10 days and
that the conference might be resumed
not later than January 2.

MEMBER OF NEW BRITISH coUN.
GIL DEMANDS AMPLE RETURN
FOR ALL SACRIFICES AND
FULL PREPARATION.
ASQUITH SAYS THERE is
NO OPPOSITION AT HOME
Former Premier Congratulates Lloyd
George and Expresses His Great
Desire to Place Whatever Ex-
perience He Possesses at
Disposal of Government.

London, Dec. 21.-In presenting the
policy of the government in the House
of Lords, Earl Curzon, who is mem.
Der of the new war council, said:
"The policy of the new government
is that the war must be conducted
| with the utmost vigor; that there
must be an ample return for all sacri.
| fees; that full reparation must be
made by the enemy for his countless
crimes, and security given that those
crimes will not be repeated and that
the sacrifices made shall not have been
| in vain.
Tells of Governments Aim.
1.-THE governments aim is that the
peace of Europe shall be re-establish-
pendent existence of nations, great
and small, and that as regards this
country, it shall be free from the men,
ace which the triumph of Germany
aud the German spirit would involve.
| Our answer to Germany's latest
move must be swift and sure. 1t is
not too much to ask the people to take
upon themselves for few months the
obligations which Germany has i'm
posed upon herself"
desperate Straits of Germany"
Abiding to the position of Ru-
mania, Lord Curzon said that Ger
many's success was by no means SO
great as she was trying to make out.
Evidence is forthcoming daily of
the desperate straits of Germany at
home and in the field" he said. THE
position of the Central Powers is not
so good as they would have the world
believe. Our attitude should not be
one of dependency or alarm"
Former Premier Speaks.
The former premier, Mr.. Asquith,
after declaring that his first duty was
to extend congratulations, which he
did with all his heart, to Mr.. Lloyd
George upon his accession to the
highest and most important Office in
the service of the crown, spoke with
brief, but pointed, reference to the
question of peace.
"The country" he said, "has just
received some so-called peace propos-
ais from Germany. True, these pro-
posals are wrapped up with the famil-
lar dialect of Prussian arrogance. But
how comes it after two years of war
that power which processes itself
conscious of military superiority and
ultimate victory begins to whisper
nay, even to shout so that all the
world can hear-the word peace?
Mr.. Asquith, in congratulating Mr..
Lloyd George, said that if he spoke
from where he did, it was not because
he claimed to be the leader of the op-
position. Opposition there was none,
and his one great desire was to place
at the disposal of the government
whatever experience he possessed.

REMNANT OF ALLIED ARMY is ON
VERGE OF BEING COMPLETELY
DRIVEN FROM BALKAN
COUNTRY.
DEFENDERS HARD PRESSED
BY GERMANS IN DOBRUDJA
Russians and Teutons Continue Fight
Ing in the carpathians But No
Great Victories Are Claimed
Turks and Bulgars Win
on Macedonian Front.

London, Dec. 21.-The remnant Of
the Russian and Roumanian army,
fleeing through Dobrudja before the
victorious Teutonic invaders, Is on the
verge OF being driven completely out
of the country it has striven vainly to
defend.
Today the Russ-Roumanians are at
the edge of Dobrudja, hard pressed by
the German troops. They have been
forced past their newly fortified posi-
tons In the north and their enemies
are advancing along the lower Danube.
Resistance Not Likely.
Two avenues of further retreat are
open. Either they may cross the
Danube into Moldavia or into Russian
Bessarabia. Whether they will retreat
or make stand is matter that must
be decided Immediately. And their
chances of now offering successful re-
sistance to the invaders is slight
Much of their supplies already are lost
and daily the Germans report the cap
ture of more prisoners from the COL
umns Of their fleeing foe.
Teutons Capture Supplies.
Aside from the announcement of the
capture of more than 1000 Russians
and Roumanians and the taking Of
numerous vehicles loaded with provi
sions, no mention is made by Berlin of
their advance on the Roumanians. In
the Carpathians the Russians and Teu-
tons continue fighting but with no
great victories on either side.
In all the other theaters artillery
engagements predominant, only small
infantry actions having taken place
anywhere.
Turkish Attacks Succeed.
Berlin records attacks favorable to
Turks and Bulgarians in the Struma
region of the Macedonian front. On
the right bank Of the Meuse in the
Verdun sector the French and Ger
mans fought spirited artillery duels.

GUARDS HELD UNFIT FOR WAR
WOULD HAVE DESTROYED THEM
SELVES IN MExICO-WOOD.
Chief of Army Staff Says Marches
Made by Pershing Would Have
Wiped Out Militia and Mounts.

Washington, Dec. 20.-Had the ma
tional guard been sent into Mexico
shortly after mobilization, they. would
have destroyed themselves and their
mounts in attempting the marches
made by General John j. Pershing's
column of regulars, Major General
Hugh l.. Scott, chief of staff, told the
senate subcommittee on military af-
fairs late Tuesday.
For Universal Service.
The national guard force modified
on the Mexican border would have
required nearly year of intensive
training to prepare it to meet trained
troops, General Scott declared, con-
tinuing to urge universal military SER
vice and abandonment of the national
guard and all other volunteer systems.
Fortunately the Mexicans were un-
trained troops" he added, "and our
purpose to protect the border was &C.
complished by the mere presence Of
our men, without firing a shot. We
never contemplated sending the ma
tional guard over the border until they
had been trained, although l sat up
until 2 or 8 o'clock every morning at
the war department fully expecting a
message saying that the fight was on.
Would Have Destroyed Selves.
1--WE felt that the national guard
troops would have destroyed them
selves in marching had they been sent
through that hard country.
General j. J. Pershing's troops
made phenomenal marches. There was
not a national guard organization that
could have done it. 1t would have
killed both men and horses
