 FOR PEACE

BERLIN, Jan. S.-The Wolff AgeA8y quoting from the Swiss newsbSDer, Neune Zuericher ZeItung. of Zurich, gives the following terms upon which Germany is said to be willing to make peace;
 A minimum indemnity of s4,ol5,OOO- 900.
 The restoration Of Germany's col onies by England.

PRO-GERMANS ACCUSED OF
 RUIN OF HISTORIC BUILDINGS
CANADIAN PARLIAMENT BURNS

OTTAWA. Feb. 4-(Friday)- historic Parlia- ment house the parliament of the Dominion ot Canada was destroyed last night by fire which undoubtedly caused by bomb or some other sort of an internal machine. Two women who were the guests of Speaker Spvgny were overcome by the smoke and pershed Mrs Spvgny saved her two children and herself by throwing them into net held by firemen and by jumping after them Frederick F. Pardee the chief Liberal whip and Loggie, labor member of parliament from New Bruns wick are missing and believed to have peshed Four others whose names are not known killed when the roof collapsed Martin Bureu minister of agriculture and member from Yale Cariboo, British Columbia, fell unconscious from smoke and was severely burned Pre- mier Borden himself escaped hateSs and coateSS Special trains for fire fighting apparatus rushed to Mon trea but had not returned when this message was sent At a. m the fire was raging in the senate building. The loss to both buildings is five million dollars but infinitely greater than the mere money loss the loss of the con- tents which were of ncalculable value It is still hoped that the greater part of the library will be saved but the flames were still burning at the time of wiring. Accounts are very much variance to the start of the conag tiOn It is fairly clear that the explosion heard by many and that the flames burst out immediately but whether the bomb had been placed the building Or had been dropped from above is matter which has not yet been cleared up in the confusion On only one idea arc all apparently united and that is that the destruction of the building was caused as result of the prO-Geman propaganda if not directly by Germans themselves There are many who believe that the bomb dropped by Ger mans from an aeropane after coming from the United States but just at present everything is confusion and such destruction has been wrought the buildings that it will be difficult if not impossible to secure clues from the ruins that might aid in clearing up the matter The feel
 ing created by the act deep and bitter that fears are entertained of reprsas against German prisoners and others.
