afing Peace at Present Out.

AiiianceAilies to Stand by
Their Terms.

J london, Dec. 19.-The announce
nnent in the house of commons TODAY
By David Lloyd George, the new pre-
mier, that the first act of his admins
'tration was the rejection of the pro-
posai OF the central powers for a
peace conference constituted one of
the most momentous scenes which the
oldest parliamentary veterans had
ever witnessed. Si
The new premier declared that be-
fore the allies could give favorable
consideration to such an invitation
they must know that Germany was
prepared to "accede to the allies
terms, giving complete restitution, full
reparation and effectual guarantees" !"
and to enter conference upon the
invitation of Germany proclaiming
herselv victorious, without any knowl-
edge of her proposals, woul5 be "put-
ting our heads into a moose with the
end of the rope in Germany's hands. %
Mr.. Uoyd-G George asserted that at
the moment Germany was penning the
note, assuring her convictions as to
the rights of other nations, she was
dragging Belgians into slavery He
announced that the note presented
through Washington contained no pro-
posals of terms, but was paraphrase
of Chancellor Won Bethmann-H Holl-
weg's speech and that the allies had
separately concluded to reject it, al
though they had informally exchanged
views and would within few days
present q joint reply.
Others Support Him.
Mr.. Asquith, the former premier,
seconded Mr.. Lloyd Georges ldeclara-,
ton with even stronger wofde and al
most at the same moment Earl Cur
zon was informing the lords that the
government would enter no confer
ence that did NOT guarantee for Eu-
zone the free and sipdspsndent EXIT
ence OF nations great and small. The
Marquis Of Crewe affirmed the ap-
proval' Of the members of the late
government.
The day was doubly important one
for the commons because the new
premier unfolded a program for wide
reaching war measures and Mr.. AS
quith closed the last chapter Of nine
ySoio VI iSdueISllp WIFI al accounting
of his war stewardship.
The principal feature of Mr.. Lloyd
Georges program is measure for
national service, matching Germany's
latest scheme, whereby ever citizen
will be liable for enrolment to per-
form work for which the authorities
consider him best equipped.
Arthur Neville Chamberlain ravor
of Birmingham and a member of the
famous family, whose energy and bus
mess capacity are rated high, will be
director of the national service with
civil and military directors responsible
to him.
The premier prefaced his review
of the situation by the statement that
Britons did their best in time of dan
ger. that the country should be told
unpleasant facts and that he would
give not dark but a stern view of
the outlook.

pected to arrive in Tacoma from
Los Angeles tonight. Oldfield
will arrive a day ahead of his De-
lage racing car, but has announc-
ed that his car Is in shape to take
the track as soon as 1t arrives
in the city.
Oldfield has earned his sobri-
quet by winning in more kinds of
races than any other man in the
racing game. His showing last
season here was disappointment,
but he raced in a borrowed Peu-
geot car that proved unable to
go through the race at anything
like it's normal speed because of
engine trouble.

Turned back by the Cardinals
in 1912 and by the Yankees in
1914, Gilhooley came back to
make his third fight for a big
league berth when the Gothamites
went south last spring. In GER
tain quarters it was freely pre-
dieted that the Irish lad, though
corking minor Lacquer, wouldn't
make good in the exclusive set.
How Gilhooley silenced his
critics is matter of much ribald
comment. Instead of fizzling
again he has developed into the
best lead-off man in the Junior
circuit.

LINALS:
Talking about superstitious
players reminds me of Slim Sal
lees notions along these lines.
SAILS pet superstition is that it's
bad luck for him to warm up with
any catcher but the one who is to
work in the game with him.
"lf the playing backstop has
batted last and has put on his
shin-guards and armor before
warming up, Sal will never throw
a ball to the plate to any man
who may come out of the dugout
with mitt. He will throw either
to the first or third baseman.
when Steve Evans played with
the Cards he tried to josh Sal out
of these notions but was unsuc-
cessful."

BONNER SHOWS
SOME BETTER

AL Bonner showed considerably
more class at Vancouver yester-
day than he did in Tacoma Sum
day. At that, Tacoma's three
runs and Vancouver's one tally
were not earned, and Bonner is
really not entitled to a victory.

Errors by Bohne and Leard in
the fourth gave Vancouver run.
The Tigers played runless until
the seventh, when three of them
managed to circle the bags on two
errors and couple of infield hits.

Half of the Vancouver crowd
walked out of the park in the
middle of the game to show their
disgust for the work of Umpire
Howell. Tacoma fans who watch

thought that he was using good
judgment.
