 The proposed attack is undeniably intended for no other purpose than to create sentiment adverse to the president.

This placed them at a considerable dis advantage with the swift moving Rus sian destroyers engaged in the pur- suit Several of the U boats were sunk and the remainder of the fleet which has been menacing commerce on the north Russian coast during the summer was completely dispersed.

GREAT BRITAIN REJECTS
KAISER'S PEACE PROPOSAL
Lloyd George Demands Reparation and
Security-Door Now Open for
Peace Talks.

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 moose with the
ropes end in the hands of Germany.
Lloyd-George quoted the words of
Abraham Lincoln: THE war will end
when the object has been obtained; I'M
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 ueace.
The premier said it was proposed to
appoint a director of national service,
and that all industries and services
would be scheduled as ESSENTIAL or non
essential to the war.

KING GEORGE FOR
WAR TO THE END
British ASSail President Wilson's
Note.
PARLIAMENT IS PR0R0GUED
Germany's Peace Terms Are Ready If
the Allies Want Them, Says
Dispatch From The
Hague.

4 London, Dec. 26.-Parlament was
prorogued by King George until Feb
ruary z. In the address from the
throne proroguing parliament King
George declared that "the vigorous
prosecution of the war" would be the
single aim of England until the secur-
ity of Europe had been established. He
indicated that peace is not yet in sighe
The kings address follows:
1.-THE vigorous prosecution of the war
must be our single endeavor until we
have indicated the right SO ruthlessly
violated by our enemies and have es-
tabliShed the security of Europe on
sure foundation. / am confident that
we shall finally achieve the victorious
confirmation of the aims for which we
entered the war;"
An Exchange Telegraph dispatch
from The Hague says 1t is announced
semiofficially that should the entente
allies in their reply to the peace pro-
posals of the central powers leave the
door open for negotiations Germany
will make known her chief peace terms
Immediately.
The British government will make
no statement at the present in regard
to President Wilson's peace note, con-
sidering it question that can be dealt
with only in communication with the
other members of the entente.
Mr. Law was asked whether state
ment would be made regarding the
American note. He replied:
ut must be obvious to the house
that this is a question that only can
be dealt with in communication with
our allies and that it is absolutely inn
possible to make a statement now"
The general public had its first news
of President Wilson's note from the
morning papers. The people, like the
press, were rather taken aback, as they
had about arrived at the conclusion
that Premier Lloyd-George's speech
had put an end to all peace talk, un-
less the central powers, in their reply
to the premier, were prepared to de
fine their terms. That the president
or any other neutral ruler would take
any action was furthest from their
minds.
The evening papers, which do not
print editorials, came out with big
headlines which expressed their views

slight measure the as.onishment caused

question of reparation, without which,

is impossible"
