Let Us Saue the Old High
School Site

The World is heartily in favor of
the proposal emanating from the
women of Tulsa to secure all of the
old high school block for city hall
and park site combined This has
been one of the hobbies of The World.
If action is not taken now before a
sky-scraper building is erected on the
lot recently purchased 10y the Cosden
interests for an office building it Will
never be secured and this priceless
heritage to all the people oi tulsa
will forever pass out of their hands
and in future years when the CITY
comes to a realization of the value
and importance of a public breathing
spot close to the business center 1t
will cost millions of dollars and no
such location will be available at any
price. The objection has been raised
that the school board will need the
old high school building for school
purposes for another three or four
objection and deserves no considera-
ton. 1t will take two or three years
to beautify this block after the old
building is cleared away and the peo-
pie of Tulsa are entitled to the bene-
fits of the central park now and it
can be secured none too soon with
all the haste possible. The people
of this city will gladly vote enough
more money TO build additional school
buildings to meet present as well as
| future needs as fast as they are pre-
sented to them for approval. Be
sides when the bond issue for the new
high school was asked for 1t was
claimed that the old building IN ad'
dition to being inadequate for high
school purposes was unsafe and dan
gerous and it certainly has not i'm
proved in security with the passing
years. 1t is an eyesore and should
be razed as soon as the present term
of school is ended. This is the most
| important proposition the people of
Tulsa have ever had to consider and
II must be acted upon now or never.
Boulevards and parks, in addition to
beautifying and serving the public,
add to the real estate values of a city
more than all else in the way of pub
| lie improvements and there is no esti-

GERMANS CRUSHING
ALLIED FOE IN EAST
Push Way Onward in Face of
Stubborn Resistance by
Russ and Rumanians.
(By The Associated Press)

The Teutouic armies in Rumania
and along the Moldavian frontier con-
tinue to drive forward IN the face OF
Russian and Rumanian re-
sistsrce. The campaign covers not
only ;hc 120-mile front, from the Da-
nuhe river to Oituse pass in the Car
pathians, but extends further north .
ward along the Moldavian frontier to
the valley of the Putna river
The heaviest blow of the German
armies are being delivered along the
railroad line running northward from
Rink -Sarat to FDlkshani and they
have forV cd the lines of the defenders
backward on the front from the Da-
nube to Carpathians. The invaders
have captured Bordestchi or the Rim
nix river and forced the Russians u
retreat near Zalctsi northeast of Rim
nik-Sardt.
The Teutonic line in the battle now
in progress runs northward of Rim
nik-Sarat thru Stobozia, midway be-
tween that town and Plaipechti. L,
attack along the Transylvania frontier
Teutonic troops have driven ahead IN
the face of strong counterattacks ana
captured $50 men and seven machine
guns They also have occupied sew
oral heights and pressed back the Rus
sian troops north and south of the val
ley of the Oituz river
Except for French attack on the
new German lines on Dead Man hill,
near Nerdun. which was repused,
there is little activity along the front
In France. Minor engagements only
are reported from the Russian front
in Galicia and from Macedonia.

sugar In fact the entire tariff pro-
gram of the plan to increase revenues

form.
The tariffs under consideration are
understood to be nominal and de-
signed to provide revenue only. Rates
that would amount to a protective
tariff are understood to he opposed by
department officials and administra-

Indications are that the proposed

LORD CURZON PRiYS
FOR END OF CARNAGE
But says In ANNUAL New Year Mes
sage That Peace Looks Ear
Away Now.

LONDON, Dec. 30.-C1:3O p. mD--
In "A New Years message TO the Pr'm-
rose club, Earl Curzon, member Of
the war council says:
This is the third year of such a
message In circumstances of war and
we all pray 1t may be the last year
1t is impossible, however, to say as
yet that the end is In sight,
Signs of exhaustion are visible in
many quarters. Peace kites are
flown. but meanwhile the struggle
goes on and neither side has obtained
that decisive proponderanCa which
points to conclusive results. II seems
likely that well into another year,
perhaps longer, must me continue this
dreadful tragedy that is turning the
world into hell and wrecking the
brightest promise of nations. our
spirit cannot falter, since an incon-
elusive war or "A patched-up peace
means for us not only humiliation,
but destruction"

THE ALLIES REFUSE

The joint reply Of the entente al
lies to the German peace proposal
was isucd today in the form Of an
official communication giving the text
Of the note. The reply charactcrizes
the German proposal as "illusory'' de-
clarng that mere suggestion with
out statement of terms that nego-
tations should be opened Is not an
offer of peace
After analyzing Germany's motives
in proposing peace negotiations the
note says:
"FulIy conscious of the gravity
of this moment. but equally con-
scious of its requirements. the al
lied governments closely united to
one another and In perfect sym
pathy with their peoples refuse To
consider u proposal which +
empty and insinccrc."
Silence was officially observed in
Washington in regard TO the note.
II was communicated to the United
States in official form and will be
transmitted by this government to the
central powers.
