Western Newspaper Union News Service.
London.-The announcement In the
House Of Commons on the 18th by
David Lloyd-George. the new prime
minister. that the first act Of his ad-
ministrstion was the rejection Of the
proposal Of the central powers for q
peace conference constituted one Of
the most momentous scenes which the
Oldest parliamentary veterans had
ever witnessed.
The new premier declared that be-
fore the allies could give favorable
consideration to such an invitation
they must know that Germany was
prepared to accede to the allies
terms, giving complete restitution.
full reparation and effectual guaran-
tees" and that Ito enter conference
upon the invitation OF Germany. pro-
claiming herself victorious, without
any knowledge Of her proposals.
would be putting our heads into a
moose with the end Of the rope In
Germany's hands"
Mr.. Lloyd-George asserted that at
the moment Germany was penning
tho note assuring her convictions as
to the rights Of other nations. she
was dragging Belgians into slavery.
He announced that the note present.
&c to Washington contained no pro-
posals of terms. but was paraphrase
OF Chancellor Won BethmannIIollwcgs
speech and that the allies had separ-
etely concluded TO reject II, although
they had informally exchanged views
and would. within . few days, present
joint reply.
Mr.. Asquith. the former premier.
seconded Mr.. Lloyd-George's decision
with even stronger words. and almost
at the same moment Earl Curzon was
informing the lords that the govern
ment wouldu enter no conference that
did not guarantee for Europe the free
and independent existence OF nations
great and small.
The principal feature OF Mr. Lloyd.
Georges program is measure for
national service matching Germany's
latest scheme whereby every citizen
viii be liable for enrolment TO per.
form work for which the authorities
consider him best equipped.
Arthur Neville Chamberlain. mayor
o. Birmingham. and member OF
the famous family whose energy and
business capacity are rated high. will
be director OF the national service.
with civil and military directors re-
sponsible to him.
The premier prcfaced his review or
the situation by the statement that
Britons did their best in time Of dan.
ger. but the country should be told
unpleasant facts. and that he would
give. not n dark. but n stern view OF
the outlook. He deplorcd the mistakes
n at had been made regarding Ru.
Dania. He said the government had
decided to deal firmly with Greece
and would recognize the agents Of
former Premier venixclos.
The history Of the alliance had been
one OF tardy decision. The central
powers had the advantages Of inter.
nal communication and working under
one supreme management. while the
policy OF the entente allies had been
too much ono OF separate fronts.

BACKS WILSON
FIRST OF NEuTRALs TO LINE UP
TO FORCE POWERS TO CON-
sloER PEACE PROPOSALS.
war TO TURN TO PEACE
WASHINGTON EWES WORD
THAT OTHER NEuTRALs WILL
TAKE SIMILAR COURSE.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Washington.-W on earth with ali
its bitterness. will turn TO peace and
goodwill before anotIer Christmas
government heads here believe.
Their hope for and belief in such an
outcome within the new year was
strengthened by Switzerland's note
approving President Wilson's peace
move and offering the mountain re-
publics "bit" toward halting the world
struggle and seeing that peace is per
manent.
Atop OF this encouraging news came
word that othe. Itrals would take q
similar course, while 1t is known that
all. privately, at least, are behind the
American position, Moreover, the ad-
ministration had reason to feel that
the warriors themselves will take
kindly TO the peace propositions be-
fore long.
Hence. on Christians Day American
officials felt that there was real cause
for rejoicing. despite the fact that the
big nations still are doing their
slaughter abroad.
Switzerland, In note to all
Of the warning powers, announced
its support of President Wilson'S
appeal for discussion Of peace
terms, saying 1t would consider
itself happy II 1t could act in any
way. no matter how modest. for the
rapprochement Of the peoples now
engaged in the struggle, and for
lasting peace"
The note was sent to the belliger.
ents by the Swiss Federal Council. and
Dr.. Paul Ritter. minister of Switzer-
land here. sent copy of It to the
White House. Secretary Lansing
made It public.
A large number OF cablegrams came
to the White House from Holland.
Sweden and Norway. These Were
transmitted by organizations and indi.
viduals. All praise the President for
his position, proffer whatever assist
ance can be rendered and intimate
that their own governments will take
similar steps.
All the neutral diplomats in this city
exDressed utmost interest in the ad-
vanced step taken by Switzerland. So
mach enthusiasm was aroused that
many prophecies were made that
many Of the South American republics
would join the procession and send
peace kilograms. These nations are
all far removed from the scene of war
but all OF them do large overseas
business with each OF the belligerents.
