 Even when the Immigration com issioner placed his suite of rooms on Ellis Island at the disposal of the Baron, which had been occupied by Marie Lloyd, Prince Pignatelli, and ex-President Castro of Venezuela, the Baron did not seem reconciled to his fate. He complained of having to travel from the Noordam at Hoboken to Ellis Island on the barge with the steerage passengers, and also at hav- ing to stand in line as they passed through the barrier at the Immigra- ton bureau.

Allies Will Not Agree to Farley

Providence, R. l., Dee. 1e-The Providence Journal prints today what -.-~-,-- ea to be the substance of the reply to be made within the next forty-eight hours by the Entente al- lied governments to the peace pro- posals of the Teutonic Allies The Journal says:
 The answer of the allied powers will say that they stand for peace; that they have always stood for peace; that there is no disposition on their part to Ignore any proposition honest ly put forth looking toward the con- clus1on of a war disastrous to civil 1zatlon ana humanity. It will declare the hrm conviction that Germanys proposals are fraudulent; that they are deliberately put forth to create public sentiment in favor of her cause; that they mean less than noth- ing, and that there is only one way by which the Teutonic governments can come before the bar of public opin- ion in this matter in any honorab b1e way
 The allied governments will state that even Ii any suggestion of a peace barley could be contemplated at this time the Allies will never consent to go one inch in that direction until Germany volunta rily withdraWs from the entire territory of Belgium, and by that act shows her willingness to approach somewhat nearer the level of the civilized nations with which she seeks to treat.
 'The withdrawal from Belgium, in other words, will be made a sine qua non for any movement looking to conference. By this demand the AL lies will seek to bring plainly before the world, and to emphasize among tho neople of the neutral nations. and particularly the people of the United States the fact that they have never retreated from their original attitude
New Britain herald., 1916-12-19

'The conferences that have been held in London during the last four days between the ambassadors of Rus sia, France, and Italy and British cabinet officers have made it appar- ent that the demand for the imme- diate withdrawal from Belgian terri tory must precede . any agreement to approach T peace movement.
 ''The Allies will recognize Ger many's title to hold, during any such negotiations, whatever territory she has secured by military methods, un- der the code of civilized warfare, in France or elsewhere, but they will de- mand, as a preliminary to any peace conference, that Germany shall first pay back to the Belgian government every penny that she has collected in the form of monthly indemnity from that country since the beginning of the war, repay also to Belgium a sum of money to be agreed upon by repre- sentatives of neutral governments for the destruction of her cities, the Vio lation of her soil, and the enslavement of her people, and send back to his home every Belgian who has been de- ported into Germany
 "It is understood that the reply will call attention of neutral gov ernments to the fact that while All are willing to go to the limit or national honor to bring about proper and substantial peace, and While they have no desire to crush or humiliate the German people, they will consld- CT the suggestion of negotiations, from whatever source it may come, until Germany evacuates the territory Of Ln1aiup as a stain on the memory of the allied dead.'

iARCHb0LD LEAVES
 ALL TO FAMILY
Lawyer Says Wealth Will Not
 Exceed S25,O0O,00O

New York. Dec. 19.-The will of John D. Archbold. president of the Standard Oil company of New Jer- sey, who died Dec. last at his country place at Tarrytown, leaves his entire estate to his wife, Annie M. Archbold; his son, John T. Arch bold, and his daughters, Mary A. Van Beuren, and Annie Saunders
 At the time of MT. Archbolds death his estate was estimated to be worth from $75, 100000 to s1OO,OOO,0OO An attorney connected with the Standard Oil company yesterday asserted that MT. Archbold left between s15,ooo,- 900 and $25,00O,O0O.
 Mrs. Archbold receives all her hus- bands realty at Tarrytown and one- third of the residuary estate. The remaining two-t1irds goes to the three children in equal shares. The will was executed on March 10, 1903, in MT. Archbold's office at 26 Broad way, when his daughter Annie, now Mrs. Saunderson and living at Lynd- hurst, England, was still unmarried. Fred Mohr, Jr. one of the witnesses, died before the testator. D. J. Da- verin, the other witness, appeared at the surrogate's office with Martin Carey, general solicitor of the Stand ard Oil company. and made an affi- davit that the paper was the last will of the deceased.
 The instrument matches the will of the late E. H. Hartman for brevity The fact that no public bequests were provided occasioned some surprise, although MT. Archbold, who was chairman of the board of trustees Of l Syracuse university and one of the ! closest friends of Chancellor Day. gave heavily to that institution dur ing his lifetime.
 The will describes MT. Archbold as resident Of New York city. The opening clause provides for the be- quests to Mrs. Archbold. The resi- duary clauses are as follows: 1 Ali the rest, residue and re- mainder of my property both real and personal, I give, devise, and 1 bequeath to my children, Mary A. Van Beuren, Annie M. Archbold, and 1 John F. Archbold, to be divided l equally between them, share and share alike. provided. however, that if any of said children die before my decease the share of such child shall go to the next of kin of the dece- dent.
 II hereby appoint my wife, Annie l NI Archbold, and my children, Mary A. Van Beuren, Annie M. Archbold, ] and John F. Archbold, executors of l this will with power to sell all real l estate, revoling all former wills by me made. The said executors are not required to give bond, nor to file any inventory, and they shall have 1 full discretion to retain and divide such investments and securities as l may leave, or to change such invest ments and securities at their pleas ure."
 l 1t is estimated that MT Archbold's s holdings in stock of the Standard Oil l company of New Jersey and it's sub sidiaries is now worth more than 1 S15OO0 ,O00. When a list of the stockholders of the Standard of New Jersey was published in 1907. before 1 the Standard was dissolved. MT. Archbold stood fourteenth on the list, with 5000 shares of stock. then valued at $2.640.o00.
