Says Radium Cure
For Cancer Failure

New York, Dec. 19.-After ex-
haustive tests on rats, mice and
guinea pigs, the use of radium as a
cure for cancer and tumors has
been found to be failure, accord
ing to the annual report of Dr.
Francis Carter Wood, head of the
Croker Cancer Research of Co
lumbia University. made public this
week. For cases ON which opera
tion is not possible, radium is sue
cessful as palliative only, the re-
port states.
1T is unquestionably possible to
prolong life in a few instances"
DR.. Wood says, "and to make the
patients more comfortable by the
judicious and intelligent employ
ment of large quantities of radium.
On the other hand. it is equally
certain that the use of small uuan-
titles, say 20 to so milligrams Of
radium element, often results in a
rapid extension of the tumor, so
that the patients condition is worse
than if he had been left alone"

Machine Invented

Eugene, Ore, Dec. ia ma
chine for scientifically testing the
ability of blind persons to learn is
in use today at Oregon University
1t is the invention of Thomas Cuts
forth of Riddle, Ore, a blind stu
dent here.
The device is box, containing
a belt of canvas on rollers, Words
in raised letters are printed on the
belt. Putting his fingers through
a hole in the top the student at
tempts to read words by the touch
system. The belt is reyOlVed at
varying speeds by an instructor
who thus asccrtains how quickly a
student can learn.
"The box makes possible export
mcnts to show the idiosyncrasios of
any blind learner" said DR.. r. Fl.
Wheeler instructor in psychology.
"Cutsworth has also discovered il
lusions of the blind and has done
research work in dreams of the

BRITISH PREMIER SAYS ALLIES
WILL NOT MAKE PEACE BEFORE
AIMS OF PEOPLE ARE ACHIEVED
Quotes Abraham LincoIn's Famous Phrase oins
With Russia and France in Incorporating
Attitude Toward Central Powers

Of demand or a request of the Central
Powers for anything. 1t rang true
throughout with a note of patriotism cal
culated to revitalize Great Britain thor
oughly. Nowhere was there a suggestion
of weakness, nowhere did he let drop a
phrase or q sentence that would indicate
any realization Of weakness upon the
part of the Allies. The Premier, from first
to last, impressed Parliament and those
who crowded the galleries, with the sin
gle thought that the Allies are prepared
to fight on until victory is achieved; that
preparations for this victory have been
effectively made, and that regardless of
any measure Of frightfulness that may be
adopted by the Central Powers, counter
measures will be brought forward to off
set the effect.
It is regarded as virtually settled that
Germany's reply to Premier Georges
speech will be given in the nature Of re-
newcd military activities. The Allies do
not deceive themselves with the thought
that their enemies are subdued, or that
they are nearing financial or military ex-
haustion. 1t is confidently believed, how
ever, that the ring Of steel forged around
the Central Powers during the past sum-
mer, if rigidly maintained, will eventually
compel the Kaiser to agree to peace upon
terms dictated by Great Britain, France
and Russia This object, however, is far
off

Germany Seeking
A Lasting Peace

Berlin, Dec. 17.-Some sections Of
newspapers in hostile countries,
says the Overseas News Agency.
having declared that the central
powers ought to have added defi-
mite peace proposals to their offer.
the Overseas Agency aksed dis
tingushed German diplomatist for
his opinion on this point. His an
swer was:
"The German note to the entente
governments contains a very def
mite communication as to the spirit
of the peace conditions which the
central powers would bring to the
proposed negotiations.
"The central powers base these
proposals on the conviction that
their own rights and just claims
today are not in contradiction to the
rights of other nations. In addi-
ton, the central powers declare
they do not want to annihilate or
proposals will be of such a nature
as to guarantee the establishment
of lasting peace.
'To go further in outlining the
peace conditions would have meant
a handicap to the central powers
in case contrary to what some
newspapers in the hostile countries
have declared) the hostile govern
ments decided to enter into nego-
tiations or discussions 1t is
self-evident truth that nobody
could come to such negotiations
with hands tied while the hands Of
the other party were completely
free"
Lieut.. Gen. Baron Won Freytag-
Loringhaven, vice chief of the gem
eral staff, in newspaper article,
referring to Germany's position,
says:
"Our vital force is in no wise
daily stronger and the technical
equipment, including munitions, are
approaching limit never before
reached. If our enemies want to
sacrifice new human lives before
our lines by method of warfare
which, according to the judgment of
a captured officer, cannot be class
ed as tactics, but human slaugh-
ter, our armies will not only yield
but inflict upon them far greater
losses than heretofore. If they
want further losses of ships, our
submarines will appear everywhere
to inflict them. 1t was from such
grand and proud feeling and con-
seriousness of victorious power that
our offer of pace was made from
motives of the purest humanity"

London, Dec 19.-England and her

heads in a moose.
This decision was announced in the

vid Lloyd George, newly chosen British
prime Minister Great Britain, declared
the Premier, indorses every word in the
Russian and French replies to the Imper-
ial Chancellor's proposal. Parliament
fairly rang with applause when Premier
George quoted Lincoln's famous words ::
'The war will end when its objects have
been attained, but, under God, never until
we achieve this object
A formal note will be sent Germany

The Premier attacked Chancellor Won
Bethmann-HolWeg's peace proffer, de-
claring, ironically, that without repara-
ton peace is absolutely impossible. "All
the outrages committed by Germany and
her allies, both upon sea and land, can
not be liquidated with mere phrases ut
tered in the name of humanity"
Long before the time set for Premier
Georges address, throngs had begun to
gather outside the building and in the cor
ridors, while seats in the galleries were
at premium Not for one minute was
there any doubt in the public mind re-
garding the nature of the address. True,
there were some who felt that perhaps a
suggestion would be dropped by the
Premier that Germany and Austria show
their good faith by cvacuating Rouma-
MIA, Belgium, Serbia and other portions
of Allied territory now occupied by their
military units It was also thought prob
able that the official would demand that
the Central Powers state specifically just
what concessions the Kaiser stands ready
