Austrian Comment.
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 20 (vla London,
sos p. m.)-Some Of the newspapers
of Vienna, commenting on the speech
of David Lloyd George, the British
premier, express the opinion that the
rejection of the peace offer Of the leu
tonic allies by the entente allies IS VIZ
tually certain. The FremdeRplatt
says: ,
the continuation of the world war is
inevitable. Great Britain does not
want to end the war until her aim mas
been attained. This aim Mr.. Lloyd
George designated by the dark WORD
'reparation.' He obviously demands
PREPARATION for the fact that the CEN
trail powers dared defend themselves
against world enemies standing unoer
Encland's command. Fate Will
take its course, and the day doubtless
will como when Mr.. Lloyd George
shudderingly will recognize that Eng
land by rejecting the peace ofter mas
heally stuck it's head. into moose
with the ropes in our hanos.
The Neue Freie Presse, hoNeIet,
thinks that Mr.. Lloyd Georges speech
sill leaves open the possibility that
the question will be put to the cen
Iral powers as TO what proposals they
have TO make and adds that the dec
laration of the Italian foreign minister
also justifies this thought.
Lacks Sincerity.
TOXIC, Dec. 20-Eiscount Motono,
foreign minister, today told members
of parliament he believed the Gernla1
peace proposal lacked sincerity ana
ihat Germany does not really desire
peace, He added that Japans reply
70 the proposal would be made alter
consultation with her allies.

VINES AND WEST WINDOWS

Too many farm homes are with. out vines. So many plants will grow here that it is a pity that any home should be without ample protection in the summer from the hot sun. Two light poles stuck in the ground two feet from the window or door and extending as high as the top of door or window and then three sticks will complete the frame work for hne protection for the summer and the house will be more attractive from the outside. Let everybody plant vines in April. The moon flower, the morning glories, wistaria, honey suckle, matrimony vine, Vlrglnla creeper and others will do well. Cover west and south windows and do0's and add to family comfort.
