by Graduate Manager Baer that no

ten days rest between the Hampden-

Graduate Manager Baer said this
morning that George Washington
would have been very glad to play G.
l.. next fall, but he did not feel that the
Hatchetites ought to meet any team on
the Saturday prior to the game with
Georgetown. He said that in his opin-
ion too much would be at stake in that
contest to risk putting any of the mem
bers of the team out of commission by
Scheduling what would undoubtedly
prove hard game the Saturday before.
The schedule ii stands is not very
elaborate. but has listed two big con-
tests, one with Ursiuus and the other
with Georgetown. UrSinuS is not Very
we'll known here, but it usually puts
out a very strong eleven. of course,
the contest with Georgetown is sure to
draw big crowd. provided il is not ap-
parent from the preliminary games
that George Washington is SO far out
classed as to make the playing of the
game only necessary form to declare
Georgetown the victor.
Tai Speer. who starred at halfback
the Maryland Aggies' eleven last
fall and who ran last on the relay team

mainder of the year to accept position

turn next fall to finish his course. He
has been taking special course. COM
hining part of the junior with part
Of the senior classes. Lately he has
been trying to get full recognition as
senior next fall, SO that he could grad

This he seems to have done. with the
result that he will not attend college
again this spring, as he would be vast
ing his time, more or less.

PARIS. Dec. 1.-The newspaper comment in this city on the peace proposals of Germany is a chorus of derision, and the assertion is made that the German scheme is too trans parent to fool anybody, and is mere ly bid for the sympathy of the neu- tral nations. The Matin declares the proposal is mere talk, and is not in- tended as a genuine attempt to end the struggle, as it contains no terri torial, political or other conditions upon which to base discussion .,f terms of peace.
 It declares the proposal to be de- vice of the Kaiser and the war party in Germany to convince their own people and the neutral nations that the Entente Allies are responsible for the war, knowing that tine proposals made are such that they cannot pos sibly be accepted.
 The plot is declared to be too trans parent to accomplish it's intended purpose.

NEW YORK. Dec. 1.-The report of the submission by Germany to the Entente Allies of proposals for peace created a genuine panic on the stock exchange here. The ann uncement was so unexpected and it's ehect apon the market so powerful that the mar ket dropped with a dull thud and persons who were twenty-fOur hours earlier the possessors of fortunes ,n the inflated war stocks, saw their wealth melt away in a moment, as the prices declined by leaps and bounds under pressure of selling or ders.
 The sensation of the day was Beth lehem Steel, which dropped twenty six points during the day. United States Steel declined three points So furious was the trading that the stock tickers were 20 minutes behind the sales. On the other hand cotton took a big raise, as the spectators saw in the proposals the possible lift ing of the embargo against exporta- tions, and the market closed $3.5O per bale higher than the opening.

 MASTER STROKE

Washington Diplomats Say Effect of the German Offer of Peace Will Be Hard to OvercOme-Acceptan Is Very Improbable.

WASHINGTON, Dec. i4.-Dip,t- mats of the neutral nations ill this city express the belief that the pro- posal for peace submitted to the en- emy nations by Germany is no more than a master stroke by the German government in it's bid for the sympa- thy of the neutral nations. and one which will be hard to offset. It is agreed that the acceptance of the German proposal by the Entente AL lies is highly improbable as there is no question but that Russia, even if the other members of the alliance were willing, would stand out against the proposed negotiations, which would cost her not only the objects which Russia has hoped to atta'n through the struggle, but also ner Polish provinces.
 President Wilson was approached on the subject of the German peace proposals by a number of newspaper men, but he refused to make an comment.

BRITISH ATTITUDE UNCHANGED

 In official circles and even anong the general public feeling of pes simism prevails as to the propos..is from Germany forming the basis of negotiations for peace. In official circles the belief exists that the pro- posals are of such nature that they cannot be accepted by the Entente Allies, and generally the British at titude toward the objects sought to be obtained by the war is unchanged. and there appears to be little chance of an acceptance of the terms submit ted by Germany.

Germany, In Spite of Strength. Is Not Deaf to Responsibility to God, Ger many and Humanity-Now Is the Time for Action.

BERLIN. Dec. 14.-The note ac-
 companying the German proposal for
 reace, which is being forwarded to the several enemy nations. the text of which was made public yesterday. says:
 "We are now in tine most terrible
 war in the history of the world. which has been raging for two years, ia catastrophe which a thousand years of civilization has been unable 10 pre-
 vent, and which has injured the most precious achievements of humanity. Our strength has not made our ears deaf to our responsibility before God, Germany and humanity. Our enemies have averted former propo-
 sals for peace, and we are now lak- ling further steps to prevent blood shed and restore to Europe the peace for which the entire people gre long ling. It has been the single thought Iof the Emperor throughout the war to restore a lasting peace in Europe after this victorious struggle, and now considers the moment for off, cial action has come.
 In presenting the peace proposals to the Reichstag yesterday the Chan- cellor recounted the Teutonic victo- Iries and repeated the substance of
 the note. Practically every member of the assembly was present. and the galleries were crowded to capacity
 with spectators.
 A complete silence reigned while the Chancellor was speaking. and the close of his address was purctuated

PROPOSAL WILL
 NOT BE ACCEPTED
IS A FOREGONE CONCLUSION
British Officials Declare Germany I, Not Seeking Peace But Hopes to Place the Blame for Continuance of War Upon Allies.

LONDON, Dec. 14.-It is a for, gone concluison that the Entente AL lies will reject the peace proposals trade by Germany. England is ID. deceived by this move on the plrt of Germany, and realizes the motive back of it is not a desire for peace. Officials do not believe Germany is weakening, but is vigorously planning a continuance of the war. General yon Hindenbers has intimated that rejection of the proposals is what Germany desires, as it will open tho way to the employment of drastic methods by Germany, which she fears to employ at this time for fear of ..rousing the active hostility of nett tral nations, but which may he safely employed if through this scheme the blame for the continuance of the struggle can be placed on the Enten- te Allies. The London Express. in commenting on the German proposal declares it is nothing but deep lai'l plot to effect the neutral nations. ani that the Kaiser has no sincere desirn to bring an end to the war. The Times declares the proposal mani fest sham, and asserts the language of the Chancellor in his address to the Reichstag is not that of bellig- erent genuinely seeking peace. but is the mouthings of boaster.

FOREIGN OFFICE
 REMAINS SILENT
WAITING OFFICIAL PAPERS
Austria Says Forced Into War to Future-English Comment Is Gen. erally Sarcastic.

LONDON Dec. 1.-The official Austrian statement accompanying the peace proposal made by the Central Powers, says that the patience of Austria was exhausted when, in 1914 a series of provocations, systemati- oally continued, and eliminating in the murder of the Archduke Ferdi- nand, forced the country into a war after fifty years of unbroken peace. Austria was compelled to enter the struggle to defend her very existence and safeguard the future of the en- pire.
 The Foreign Office will undoubted- ly ignore the proposal for peace from the Central Powers until the official papers containing the terms on which it is proposed to base the negotiations for peace are received.
 Newspaper comment on the peace proposals are generally in sarcastic vein. The News says that inasmuch as Germany and her allies have now obtained a maximum of the plunder they may be expected to gain from the struggle, and the avenger Lloyd George is about to inflict punishment. they desire peace. The Chancellor s declaration before the Reichstag is declared almost blasphemous, and an attempt to shift the blame for the continuance of the war upon the all lied nations.
