GERMAN PRESS DEFIANT.

Say Peace Is a Long Ways OF If It
Depends on Whipping Central Powers.
Amsterdam, via London, Dec. 20
Commenting on Premier Lloyd Georges
speech the Tageliche Rundschau OF
Berlin says:
Preparation could be demanded by
England oniy if Germany had declared
war on England, if we were to piame
for the war, if we had committed
crimes against International law, and
II we had been defeated"
; The Lokal Anzeiger says:
III Lloyd George means to postpone
satisfying Europes desire for peace
until the time when the entente Is sue
cessful In conquering Germany's
army and those Of her allies then the
whole of Europe as we'll as Lloyd.
George knows full well. that this an
nouncement means eternal war unless
it is in the power of the German COM
mand to bring it to an earlier teImi-
nation than Lloyd George supposes."

quiry into the local situation had been
made to the federal trade commission.
After stating their view that the
shortage of fuel began in New England
a year ago, and since has extended to
the Rocky mountains. the dealers made
this statement:
1.-The cause must he dealt with ac-
cording to its Dimensions. The coal
shortage is national. An investigation
If less broad than the cause must fail

some relief for the shortage. which
seriously handicapped the heating of
some Of the larger buildings Of the

The most important of these points

PUTS lT UP TO cARRANzA.
American Commissioners Send Note to
Mexican Loader.

WiUNtSAV @VAQeFs
Philadelphia, Dec. 20.-Secretary Of
the Interior Lane and his colleagues on
the Mexican American joint commits
sion have placed on General Carranza
the responsibility of deciding whether
the American government should con-
tinue it's efforts to effect satisfactory
and hmicable adjustment of the ques-
tions affecting the relations of the two
countries, and then adjourned until
after the holidays.
Thru his representatives on the COM
mission they sent to Carranza com
munication further explaining the
position Of the United States govern
ment and containing protestations that
there exists no intention to violate the
sovereignty Of Mexico.
It was made clear however that
there can be no modification of the
conditions on which the American
troops will be withdrawn from Mexico
and that the attitude Of the govern
ment as outlined in the declaration Of
policy made by Secretary Lane when
the protocol was signed at Atlantic
City, has not been altered.
The document was not more than
4oU words in length. 1t was handed to
the Mexican representatives in joint
session and transmitted by them al
most Immediately to Queretaro, where
it is expected 1t will be given prompt
consideration by General Carranza.

BOSTON RETAINS SALOONS.
Remains Wet With Bigger Majority
Despite Billy Sunday.

Boston, Dec. ss20.-Billy Sundays
campaign for "a "boozeless" Boston
failed. The greatest effort ever made
to have the~sale Of liquor made illegal
for year after May next under the
annual local option referendum result
ed in an incrsased majority for license,
the largest for six years.
Thefvote complete stood: Yeas, 3d.
459; nays, 29,997, a majority for license
of 23.462. Last year the license ma
jority was 14,32S. due to revenge taken
by Boston Democrats for the defeat of
Governor Walsh by liquor interests.
Not since 1892 had Boston been in
danger of being dry. 1t has not been
saloonless town for forty-o lone years.
There is reasonable ground for the
deduction that Sundays campaign in
crea1ed the license vote by causing
people who otherwise would have voted
mo-" as demand for stricter regula-
ton or for local option by wards, to
vote yes in fear Of a dry city that
would ALLEVIATE business from Boston.

THREE SUSPECTS HELD.
Two Men and Woman Arrested /
Connection With Murder of Sim.

Two Men and Woman Arrested in
Connection With Murder Of Sim.
Kansas City, Dec. 20.-Three persons
We're under arrest here today in the
police investigation Of the death OF
Arthur B. Sim, wealthy oil man Of
Wichita, Kan, who was found dead
under the inter-city viaduct yesterday.
Edna Miller and Henry Fitzpatrick
were taken into custody last night and
Joseph Macoluso. who has been known
as the husband of the Miller woman,
was arrested this morning. No formal
charges have been made against any OF
the three.
Edna Miller, the police said, admitted
having been with Sim until midnight
of Monday night. and said ahe intro
duced him to Fitzpatrick. chauffeur,
who drove them to several cabarets.
Mucoluse is walter. The police hold
to the theory that robbery was the
motive of the crime and that Sims,
after being stunned. was thrown, still
living, from the viaduct to the ground
below, the fall causing his death.
