WILSON WILL NOT URGE PEACE NOW;
RUSSIA REJECTS GERMANYS OffEK
FRENCH GAIN TWO MILES At VERDUN
DUMA UNANIMOUSLY AGAINST
NEGOTIATIONS WITH FOE

London, Dec. 15.-The Russian Duma UNANIMOUSLY
passed resolution to-day against the acceptance OF tht
German peace proposals. following Spirited speech pS
the Minister of Foreign Affairs, according to Reuter-
dispatch from Petrograd. The text of the resoluuor
follows:
The Duma having heard the statement by the
Minister of Foreign Affairs, unanimously tavorS
categorical refusal by the Allied governments 10
enter under present conditions into any peace nego-
tations whatever
1t considers that the German proposals are noth-
ing more than fresh proof of the weakness OF the
enemy and a hypocrtcal act from which the enemy
expects no real success, but by which 1t seeks TO
throw upon others the responsibility for the war and
for what happened during it, and to exculpate itself
before public opinion in Germany.
The Duma considers that a premature peace
would not only be brief period of calm but would
involve the danger of another bloody war and re-
newal of the deporable sacrifices by the people. 1t
considers that lasting peace will be possible only
after decisive victory over the military power of
the enemy and after definite remuneration by Ger
many of the aspirations which render her respon
sble for the world war and for the horrors by which
it has been accompanied.

BLOW ANSWERS
PEACE PROPOSAL
Two Villages and Two
Forts Fall Before
Infantry Waves

London. Dec. l5.-Nivelle has given
Frances answer TO the German peace
proposals. On the Verdun front to-day
he struck his first blow as commander
of the French armies in the west and
the mightiest blow launched against
the Germans in the west since the echo
Of the British guns died away on the
Ancre weeks ago.
Smashing forward along front OF
more than six miles or the Nerdun
front, Nivelle's troops advanced to-day
a distance Of two miles along the en-
tire line. seized two villages and three
strongly fortified works and captured
more than 1900 prisoners.
Fortified Works Taken
The operation was conducted on the
front north Of Douaumont and be-
tween the Meuse and Woevre rivers.
The villages of Vscherauville and
Louvemont, the Farm of Chambrettes
and the fortified works of Hardoumont
and Bezon-Vaux fell in succession be-
fore the irresistible assaults Of the
poilus.
Assailed on every side By waves OF
French infantry, their columns bathed
with she'll from the heavy enemy ar
tillery. the troops Of the Crown
Prince. dazed and bewildered, gave
way in confusion.
The loss of some ground on this front
is admitted by Berlin tonight, though
the extent of the French victory is not
indicated. The battle is still raging,
according TO the latest reports. Our
success is complete" says Paris.
The French assault was preceded oy
attempts Yesterday to wrest from the
Germans trenches on the slopes OF hiii
904. the battle ground OF last summers
offensive. Here the French infantry
was sent in three successive waves
against the enemy's positions, but the
advantage won in each encounter was
limited. East of the Meuse Nivelle also
hammered persistently at the enemy
defences, with little result.
Conquer Twelve Miles Square
These efforts were followed to-day by
a general movement so carefully pre-
naTed that the troops OF the Crown
prince were overwhelmed. Once on the
run. they could not parry the French
blows until a twelve-mlle SQUARE oI
valuable territory had been conquered
bv the attacking forces. The engage
mont was marked by the perfect coop,
Grafton of the infantry, artillery and and
aerial units of the French army. The
German losses were terrific;
The British troops conducted sue
ccssful operations on the west front
during the day. penetrating the enemy's;
trenches south of Armentieres and

artillery fighting increased along the
entire front during the day, probably
presaging a general offensive by the
Allies in the near future.

By ARTHUR s. DRA"-H
TRy Cable 70 The Tribune

London. Dec. i5.-Vigorous assertion
that Great Britain would not consider
peace proposals that did not provide
for reparation for Belgium and Serbia
and guarantees for future peace was
made tonight by Arthur Henderson,
member of the new War Council with
out portfolio. in a speech before the
Steel Smelters' Association. He de-
clared that no peace overture could be
considered that did not provide indem-
nity for the past and guarantees for
the future.
Germany must furnish the Allies
with proofs of her good intention. the
labor leader declared, before they
would discuss peace. He counselled
careful examination of Gcrmany's pro-
posals, the nature Of which the British
people are ignorant Of at the present
moment
"It is safe to conclude" said Mr..
Henderson. "that Germany's motives
for making peace overtures are not un-
selfish. II must be remembered that
Germany was prepared for peace dur
ing the frst month OF the war-pre-
pared for peace that would make US a
party TO the violation Of Belgian neu-
trslity, that would make US the be-
trsyer of France.

"The people Of Britain are no more

We must be assured OF peace that
will be lasting
"If Germany is ready and willing 20
enter into such a peace she must fur
nish us proofs OF her good intention
But If she is putting forth sham and
a fraud. If she is planning new aggres-
sion while she talks peace. then ! say
that We must set our faces against

Feeling Of Caution
Fveryghere in England there is the
same inclination of serious thinkers
10 approach the momentous question
With caution and soberness. Every
where there seems 20 be feeling OF
