MUST CARRY ON THE
 WAR TO THE LAST MANI
Declaration by Marquis of Crewe ir
 the House of Lords.

London, Dec. 19-In the house of lords today the Marquis of Crewe, the government leader, said: We must carry on the war to the last man, to the last shilling-'' Lord Curzon, presenting the new cabinets policy in the house of lords, said:
 "The policy of the new government is that the war must be conducted with the utmost prosecution, that there must be an ample return for all sacrifices, that full reparation must be made by the enemy for his countless crimes and security given that those crimes shall not be repeated and that the sacrifices made shall not have been in Vain." Baron Courtney of Penwith, a peace advocate said that from what he could
 see the nation would never be able to
 attain it's end through successful mil
 itary operations.
 We want peace,'' he declared, the
 German chancellor wants peace, and
 can we not look sympatheticaIly to-
 wards his words and his speech and if
 it is not possible ourselves to come to
 an agreement might not the interven-
 tion of some powerful friend help us
 find solution and so end this terrible
 war"

ANOTHER UPHEAVAL IN
 THE WHEAT MARKET
Prices Advanced IA Gents and Later Fell Back 12 Gents.

hstmd3d1e tn nowisthe time for aIgo
 Chicago, Dec. 19.-Despite a sensa- tional advance of IA cents in wheat today, based on running reports of the British premiers speech discussing the German peace offer, the market later fell back to 1-2 cents, owing chiefly to widespread gossip that the way to a peace conference had not yet been barred. Excited selling accomp- anied the late setback in prices and there was a wild close with quotations ranging nearly cent each side of yes- terday'S finish.
 At the topmost point of the rise, wheat values had recovered about IS cents a bushel since the recent lowest level was touched on Friday.
 The upturn led to extensive profit taking by holders, but the selling did not assume runaway character un- til reports under London date lines ap- peared in print here asserting that the door was ajar for specific terms from Germany and that a peace conference was yet possible.
 In the short time remaining before the wheat market closed there was but scanty leeway for any certain knowledge to be gained as to whether the Lloyd George speech did or did not afford an opportunity for peace par ley The result was that no solid sup port for the market was immediately available and that the crumbling of prices continued virtually without stop till the gong cleared traders from the pit.
 Fear that if peace was indefinitely postponed the effect on the American export trade in wheat might prove dis astrous was to some extent a factor of the late selling stampede. Dealers who took this view laid stress on the submarine peril, the railway em- bargoes and on the piling up of the domestic visible supply.
 The main consideration, however, was the uncertainty as to chance of a peace conference.
 Final prices showed the general in decision-December a4 lower at $1.53, May unchanged to 5-8 cents higher at S1.64A to s1.651s, and July 3-4 to E cents net higher at $1.38% to S1.3SI
