.SUFFRAG|STS WIN
 l. PARTIAL VICTORY . BEFORE COMMITTEE
Federal Amendment Is Re- ported for Consideration Without Recommenda-
 tiOn

Washington, December 14.-Woman suffrage advocates won a partial vic- tory in their long fight to have the Susan B. Anthony federal amendment voted on in Congres today, when the House judiciary committee reported the measure for consideration without recommendation. A campaign now will be launched to get a special rule to for action, probably sometime in Jan uary.
 Both suffragists and anti-suffra gists expressed satisfaction over today's de- velopment and are confident of victory on the floor. Though anxious that the resolution be reported favorably, the suffragists were pleased because the committee, which was generally re- garded as hopelesly against their cause, went as far as it did. On the other hand, their oppodents declare an opportunity to have the House vote on the issue inevitably means a defeat for suffrage, which will settle the ques- tion nationally for many years. The vote in favor of reporting the resolution. il to s, does not represent the sentiment of the committee. on the tissue.

EureI~n, Cal. December 14.--Twenty- United states submarine H-3, impris- oned since dawn today in the sub mersible, which went ashore on q shoal near the entrance to Humboldt bay, were rescued tonight.
 Five of the crew were brought ashore in brooches buoy at o'clock. Within an hour the remaining 19 men of the crew and the two officers were rescued.
 Coast guard men shot line across the bow of the H-3 as darkness set in and by watchers on shore the submarine was seen to become more steady in the roll of the surf as the line was made fast and then a brooches buoy was rigged
 In a dense fog the Ills struck a sand spit early today while cruising down the coast from Puget Sound. She was ac- companied by the United States ship Cheyenne and the submarines HI and H-2. Officers of the Cheyenne said they believed that the accident was caused by disabled engines.

PAPER" MILLIONS VANISH INTO AIR

Prices of Various Leading Stocks Slump and War Time Profits of Many
 Go Glimmering

New York, December 14.-Apprehen- sion and confusion created by the Teu- tonic peace proposals and heightened by vulnerable technical conditions. caused another violent outbreak of liquidation in the stock market today, leaders other than rails breaking to 10 points with far more serious irn pairment in shares of less prominence.
 The decline was assisted by a series of bear drives which dislodged many weak bull accounts. Many traders sold on stop loss orders and others were forced to accept heavy losses on their inability to meet calls for additional margin.
 It was one of the most severe re- versals of any of the numerous bull markets which have had their origin in the European war. Today's extreme declines represnt losses of 20 to 50 points from high levels of last month. Rails were only slightly unsettled. soms

London. December H.-"Despite its bla- tant and arrogant tone, Chancellor von Bethmann-H Hollweg's peace speech offers us much encouragement when considered from military standpoint" said Gen Frederick D. Maurice chief director of military operations at the British war office, on discussing today with the Asso- ciated Press the military significance of the German chancelors peace offering. General Maurice continued:
 "Of course, until we receive definite terms it will be impossible for us to dis cuss the German peace terms. The mili- tary reasons which led to their utterance certainly are not discouraging to us.
 ''The Germans know we are capable of a greater offensive than we launched last summer on the Somme and they do not like the prospect. We are increas- ing our forces and our munitions and are improving our positions.

 TT IS NOW THOUGHT
With Moderating Tone of Allies, It Is Hoped That Washington Gov ernment Will Be Given Oppor-
 tunity to Express Interest

Washington, December 14. Arrival of both the German and Austrian peace notes and broad intimations at the entente em- bassies that the proposals of the central powers would not be flatly rejected without ex- animation, were the outstand- ing developments here today in the peace movement.
 Germany's note, substan- tially the same as the published texts, arrived early by cable and just as the state depart ment was closing; for the day Austria's note arrived. Secre- tary Lansing said 1t was identi- cal with Germany's and that neither contained any change in meaning from the semi-of ficial versions.
 It was stated officially that neither Germany's or Austria's note would be forwarded before tomorrow, if indeed then, and there was no outward indica- tion that the President had made up his mind what action, if any. he would take in transmitting the central powers proposals to the entente bel ligerents.
 WILSON MAY ADD WORD
 When, with the announcement of the German proposals two days ago, it ap- peared that the entente allies were in- clined to reject the offer flatly, it ap- peared very doubtful if President Wilson could find a way to add word of mediation in transmitting the notes. With the apparent moderating of that first attitude. as reflected in the British newspapers, and among the entente diplomats here the ways seem easier for the President to express, in some way, the hope that the proposal for a discussion of peace will not be rejected without consideration. In such step there is a likelihood of the United States being supported by some of the Euro pean neutrals. The minister of one of them today asked his government to au- thorize him to assure the President of indorsement in such move and such others as are considering the same phase of the situation.
 DIPLOMATS CONFER
 The Spanish ambassador, MT. Riano, and the Swiss minister Dr. Ritter, both conferred today with Secretary Lansing Their governments also are acting as intermediates in transmitting the pro- posals. Whether they discussed the prospect of neutral concert was not disclosed, but the impression prevailed that in the absence of a decision by President Wilson the subject was scarcely more than touched upon.
 The change in the attitude of the en- tente embassies, however, was regarded

On the fighting fronts every where, except in Rumania and along both banks of the Meuse, only minor operations arc being carried out. In Rumania the Dan- ube army of the Teutonic allies now has crossed the Jniomitza river and all along the front the advance of the invaders continues unchecked.

REVIEWS RUMANIAN CAMPAIGN

Berlin, December 14.-(By Wireless.)--In his review of the Rumanian campaign today the military critics of the Overseas News agency lays stress upon the strateg- ic menace to the Russian southern front. which he points out has been created by the developments of the Rumanian operations.
 Before the entry of Rumania into the war;" he writes, "the Russian southern front rested upon the Bukowina noun tains, but since the annihilation of the Rumanian army and the advance of the central powers in eastern Wallachia, this formerly strong front is now under se- rious strategic menace.
 "The Russian forces have been con- siderably diminished by the violent at- tacks made In the wooded Carpathians and in the mountains on tho Moldavian frontier. Likewise their auxiliary corps which are at present in Rumania, have been decimated fruitiessly and the war material and munitions with which Rus sia furnished the Rumanians have been for the most part lost and have added considerably to the war material of ths central powers.
 '"rhe Bulgarian troops, which were for- merly tied to the Danube, have been set free along a 300 kilometre front. for other employment. This means particularly an extraordinary increase in strength for the Bulgarian artillery.

RUSSIA IS WEAKENE

''The central powers thus have not only gained from an economic standpoint by the capture of wallachia and the Ru- manian oil region; have not only ami Inflated the Rumanian army. but also by tfeir success in Rumania have weak ened Russia in her supplies of men and material. At the same time the Russian southern front has undeniably been threatened. The developments in entente nations show unmistakably that the en- tente is fully conscious of the conse- quences inevitable from the victorious ad- vance of the central powers in Rumania
 ''The rapid and systematic advance of the central powers in Wallachia has been such as to give the enemy no chance for an engagement in which success was pos sibe They have, therefore, the same strategic liberty as before which is of particular value on an open plain for a pursuing force superior in numbers and morale. In the wooded Carpathians and on the mountain frontier of Pennsylvania the violent Russian attacks indicate clear ly how greatly the Russians fear that their front will be broken
