year
The total of imports for the week
in behalf OF the British treasury
amounts to $53,600,000. The heavy
expansion of shipments since last
Monday is taken in banking circles as
an indication that the British author
tiles are planning to continue sending
gold here on an enormous scale.

Gain in Butter Manufacturing
Alone Totals Over Ten
Million Dollars.
JoBBING FORCES AHEAD

Commercially, 1916 has been the
most brilliant year in Omaha's his
| tory.
The greatest increases over the
activities of the previous year were
shown in building permits, bank clear
ing. manufacturing, jobbing and grain
and live stock receipts. aM
In manufacturing alone an increase
of over $S4,000,000 is shown, or total
output of $26S,0S7,715. This shows an
increase of over rs per cent This
great manufacturing output was in
some measure due to the coming OF
new factories, but in larger measure
due to the increasing OF the capacity
of some plants, and the running of
others at their full capacity to sup
ply the ever increasing volume Of
orders.
| \ The biggest gain in manufacturing
| was shown in the line of packing
house products, which jumped some
s34,000,000 over the volume of the
previous year, an increase OF practi-
cally 80 per cent While there was an
increase in the amount of stock
slaughtered, the increased price Of
meats and all packing house products
to some extent caused the aggregate
figures in dollars and cents to climb
to this high mark.
| Increase in Smelling.
The smelling industry showed an
increase of over 100000, and Omaha
thus easily retains first place in the
worlds lead reducing industry, be-
sides occupying an important position
as gold refining center.
Butter making, in which for some
years Omaha has held the worlds
record, forged ahead almost 40 per
cent with total volume of $l0,789,-
144 worth of creamery butter pro-
duced here during the twelve months.
Alfalfa products, which are only be-
ginning to come into their own,
showed an increase Of 81 $4,000 over
the previous year, or gain of over.
81 per cent .
Jobbing Forges Ahead.
While the jobbing figures as COM
piled by Z. V. Parrish of the bureau
of publicity, show an increase of So
5678l8, Mr.. Parrish points out that in
former years he has included grain
handled on the Omaha grain market
in the jobbing figures, and that this
year he has held this as a separate
item. Thus, il grain were included
here just for the sake of fair COM
parison with last years figures, the
jobbing must show all increase of $751;
3698l8, or a gain of some lS per cent.
The largest gain made by any one
item under the head of jobbing was
made in automobiles. This business
amounted to the height of SIS 100000,
in round numbers.
Jobbing in agricultural implements
show an increase of between and 9
per cent. but this item would also

Paris, Dec. 30.-The entente gov
ernments in replying to Germany de-
clare that they refuse to consider Ger
many's insincere and lnettecticc pro-
posal for a conference.
The suggested conference without
conditions is not a peace offer, the
note says, but is rather war ma
neuver.
1t is long and sets forth again the
responsibility of the central empires
fSr the European conhagration. 1t
insists on legitimate reparations and
restrictions demanded by the en-
tcnte as outlined by Premier Lloyd
George and also says that Germany
by failing to formulate proposals Tor
peace removes in advance any basis
for pour parlers.
The note seeks to suggest that the
Berlin cabinet having proclaimed in
1914 its contempt for treaties cannot
pretend to obtain the same conditions
as powers respectful of signatures
and must offer guarantees.
Text of the Note.
The text of the note follows:
THE allied governments of Bel
GUM, France, Great Britain, Italy
Japan, Montenegro Portugal, Rou'
mania, Russia and Serbia, united tor
the defense of the liberty Of their peo'
pies and faithful to engagements
taken not to lay down their arms
separately, however, resolved to reply
collectively to the pretended proposi,
tions of peace which were addressed
TO them on behalf of the enemy gov,
ernments through the intermediary Of
the United States, Spain, Switzerland
and Holland. Before making any re-
ply the allied powers desire particu'
jarlv to protest against the two es-
sential assertions of the note of the
enemy powers that pretend to throw
upon the allies responsibility for the
war and proclaim the victory of the
central powers.
Still for Peace.
"The allied governments cannot ad.
NIT an affirmation doubly inexact ano
which suffices to render sterile all ten
tatiye negotiations. The allied nations
have sustained for thirty months q
war they did everything to avoid
They have shown by their acts theil
attachment to peace. That attachment
is as strong today as it was in 1914
But il is not upon the word OF Ter
many, after the violation of its en-.
gagements, that the peace broken BY
her may be based"
"A mere suggestion, without
statement of terms, that negotiation:
should be opened, is not all offer OF
peace. The putting forward by the
imperial government OF sham pro
posal lacking all substance and pre-
cision would appear to be less an OF
fer of peace than war maneuver, II
is founded on caluculated misinter
Dretation of the character of the
struggle in the past, the present anc
the future.
The Aggressor in 1914.
AS for the past, the German note
takes no account of the facts, dates
and figures which establish that the
war was desired, provoked and de
clared by Germany and Austria-Hun
gary.
"At The Hague conference it was

WILL
 PRESENT SWORD
 TO VERDUN CITY
Heroic Courage of the French Rewarded by Gift from Japan
 for Bravery.

TOKYO, Dec. 5.-The heroism of Verdun will be commemorated by the Emperor of Japan, who will send to the French city a Japanese sword newly wrought by the leading sword smith of the nation.
 The sword is of the kind known as "Efu-no-tachi," used by the warriors of ancient Japan solely on the bat tlefield and is accordingly thought an ideal gift for honoring tho mar tial spirit and bravery of Verdun.
 The swordsmith is Yagoro Gassan of Osaka. believed 10 be the best of the contemporary experts of the art in Japan. It was he who fashioned the sword, worn by the emperor on the occasion of the coronation O. consecration ceremony in Kioto last year. The sword guard and other accessories will be made of pure gold and raised work representing flowers, vines and other figures.
 Bears Imperial Crest
 On the upper part of the hilt the imperial crest of the chrysanthemum in gold is to be mounted on both sides. The sheath will be made of wood. its outer part being covered with motherof-pearl and mounted with gold laquer designs. The hit and sheat are to be sculptured by master artists, whue the sword-guard and other metal accessories will be produced by well.known goldsmiths.
 The sword is expected to be ready about the spring of next year. when 1t will be presented to the City of Verdun through President Poincore
 Incidentally the Japanese depart ment of education has begun the distribution of essays concerning the heroism of Verdun and other Europ- can battlefields. The underlying idea is that the rising generation is too prone to think that Japanese yalor and patriotism is the greatest, if not the only real, patriotism in theworld. To broauen the minds of the young on this subject and give them more true conception of world courage, educational leaders are daily presenting the deeds of valor of Eur ope.
