poured Water over it from the Magic
Brook and that made the Table
Freeze. 1t was very solid and firm.
OF course, it did not need White
Table Cloth for it was all White any
wayl
"All over the Table Peter Gnome
put Red Berries so that the Table al-
most looked Red with bits of White
peeping through. And around every
place he made Circle OF Red In
which he put large, Brown Oak-Leaf
for Plate.
"At last 1t was time for everyone to
come. And how they did arrived

Wishes
''The Gnomes We're delighted at this,
and the Horses did, indeed, Neigh

at the long Table, and had n most
marvellous Dinner.
"Just at the end of the Dinner Pc

brought in a great many Red Candles,
one for each Guest. and as they were

Berlin. Dec. 1s.-Following is the
text of the note addressed by Ger
many and her allies to the hostile gov
ernments:
ITO His Excellency, the Ambassador
of the United States of America to
the German Empire:
The most terrific war ever expe-
rienced in history has been raging for
the last two years and a half over a
large part of the world-a catastrophe
which thousands of years of common
civilization was unable to prevent and
which Injuries the most precious
achievements of humanity.
Our aims are not to shatter nor
annihilate our adversaries. In spite of
our consciousness of our military and
economic strength and our readiness
to continue the war (Which has been
forced upon us) until the bitter end,
II necessary; at the same time.
prompted by the desire to avoid fur
ther bloodshed and make an end to
the atrocities of war. the four allied
powers propose to enter forthwith
into peace negotiations
THE propositions which they bring
forward for such negotiations and
which have for their object guaran-
tee of the existence of the honor and
liberty of evolution for their nations
are, according to their firm belief. an
appropriate basis for the establish
ment of a lasting peace
''The four allied powers have been
obliged to take up arms to defend JUS
tice and the liberty of national evolu-
tion. The glorious deeds of our armies
have in no way altered their purpose.
We always maintained the firm belief
that our own rights and Justified
claims in no way control the rights
of these nations.
"The spiritual and material progress
which were the pride of Europe at
the beginning of the twentieth cen
tury are threatened with ruin. Ger
many and her allies, Austria Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey, gave proof of
their unconquerable strength in this
struggle They gained gigantic advan-
tage over adversaries superior in
number and war material Our lines
stand unshaken against ever-repeated
attempts made by armies.
THE last attack in the Balkans has
been rapidly and victoriously over
come. The most recent events have
demonstrated that further continuance
OF the war will not result in breaking
the resistance of our forces and the
whole situation with regard to our
troops justifies our expectation of fur
| ther successes.
IF, in spite of this offer of peace
and reconciliation, the struggle should
go on. the four allied powers are re-
solved to continue TO victorious end,
but they disclaim responsibility for
this before humanity and history. The
imperial government. through the
good offices of your excellency, asks
the government of the United States
to bring this communication to the
knowledge of the governments of
France. Great Britain, Russia, Bel
GUM. Japan. Serbia and Rumania.
