RIGHT TO FREEDOM
FIRST PEACE STEP.
SAYS LONDON PAPER
Skeptical of Germans Atti.
tude Toward Territory of
Serbians. II

London, Dec. 16.-The first essential
Of peace, in the opinion Of the Nation,
is that both sides shall concede the
right to independence Of all nations.
Commenting on Germany's peace offer,
the Nation says:
'The test will come when our an
swer is known that Germany has to
decide whether she will modify her
offer and come nearer to our position.
The real onus for the continuance Of
the war will rest on the side which
maintains any demand which would be
fatal to the independence and future
OF any belligerent.
IF Germany, for instance, has real
ly claimed Serbia as her prey she has
included at least one point which con-
victs her Of either unbelievable stupid
ity or mere insincerity and,if the claim
is maintained, precludes further dis
cusssions. But even to an offer in
GLIDING such a point our answer must
lose nothing in the worlds court Of
honor by rejecting that claim but let
us not lose sight Of our guiding prin-
ciple that this war is waged for the
endingk Of militarism. II Germany
made claim involving the destruction
of any dependent nation the war is
not yet morally won. Her reputation
Of all such claims will be the test hof
her sincerity" &

Fresh Proof of Weakness
and Hypocritical Attempt
to Throw Upon Others
Responsibility for Con-
flict.

London, Dec. ia despatch to
Reuters Telegram Co. from. Petro-
grad says:
1.-THE Duma has unanimously passed
a resolution against the acceptance of
spirited speech by the Minister OF
Foreign Affairs"
The text of the resolution follows:
1.-THE Duma, having heard the
statement by the Minister Of Foreign
Affairs, unanimously favors a cate
gorical refusal by the allied govern
ments to enter, under present condi-
tions, into any peace negotiations
whatever.
''It considers that the German pro-
posals are nothing more than fresh
proof of the weakness Of the enemy
and q hypocritfcal act from which the
enemy expects no real success, but by
which it seeks to throw upon others
the responsibility for the war and for
what happened during it, and to ex-
culpate. itself before public opinion
in Germany. -.
''The Duma considers that prema.
ture peace would not only be brie1
period Of calm, but would involve the
danger of another bloody war and q
renewal Of the dep1orab1e sacrifices
by the people. It considers that a
lasting peace will be possible only
after a decisive victory over the mill
tary power Of the enemy and after
definite renunciation by Germany OF
the aspirations which render her re-
sponsible for the world war and for
the horrors by which it has been &C
companied."
M. Pokrovsky, in his speech to the
Duma, said:
"In addressing you immediately
upon having been appointed Minister
OF Foreign Affairs, I am not in a posi-
ton to give you detailed statement
on the political situation, but I fee
constrained to inform you. without

Fine Diamond Record

Ennis T. Cakes, former Cardinal

gFed erals5, and this year manaser OF
the Denver Grizzlies, will pass his
thirtieth milestone tomorrow. AL
though christened Ennis by his par
ents, Cakes has always been "Rebep'
to the fans. The Dixie Flyer is
lord of an extensive manor in Louis
lana, owning a plantation of more
than a thousand acres in the vicinity
of Homer, near the Arkansas boun-
dairy. The Rebel was one of the
first OF the big Ieaguers to cast in his
lot with the lost cause, joining the
Pittsburgh Feds in 1914. He batted
.311 that year, and .2S1 in 1915. AS
pilot of the Pittfeds he made a great
race in the last year of the indepen-
dent circuit, and although the Rebels
finished in third place, they were in
the pennant chase up to the finish
line. i
Cakes has been playing professional
baseball a dozen years. starting with
Hattiesburg. Miss, in 1905. He was
next heard of in the ,Three-I league,
where his work was SO good that he
landed a berth with the Los Angeles
club. He spent couple Of seasons
with the Angels. and in>1s10 joined
the St. Louis Nationals. After four
years with the Cards he justified his
nickname of Rebel by leaping to
the Feds. AS pilot of the Grizzlies
this year he had his men up and COM
ing all the time, but the club wasn't
quite good enough to cope with the
best Of it's Western League rivals.
