Cecil Spooner will next week pre- Sent an original and novel play of rugged Arizona and New York society life, entitled '"The Girl from Gold field" described as a trans-continenta1 excursion into the realms of realism eociety life in New York The play which is in four acts, possesses one of the most powerful dramatic stories ever attached to a play of this nature, and for a play wherein the major and principal scenes of action transpire in the far west it can be stated to the authors credit, that he has not in any point overdrawn it in either story, plot, characters or incident. As might be naturally expected in plays of this nafure,< there is a deal of action and exciting scenes and sftuations which rend three of the acts (which occur in that really western town of Gold field, and vicinity-and also, there is the fashionable mosphere of New act, and which is an unusually strong one, at the home of aristocratic Mrs Potter, a society leader. The story of the play mainly pivotS around the experiences of two sisters "Payson and Nellie Curtis'' the latter of whom has been nnis1ed into loving one ''Wil= Ham Clark Hunter" a typA of the selfish. hard hearted, genuine villain, but who finds more than his match in Payson Curtis, the big sister, who straightens matters out thor oughfy. including the ownership of valuable mining properties in the Gold fields. in which she has the assistance of Ben Hart" a heroic young miner who loves the plucky heroine. "The Girl from Goldhe1ds'' is a strong play from every viewpoint, and just the brand that Cecil Spooner, as ''Payson Graham Curtis' will have one of 1he best parts she has yet appeared in at the Lyric, while Peu Trenton, as Ben Hart" the young, manly, true western type of hero, will also be strongly cast, . as will the entire company, to which there are several specially added members for, 'The Girl from Gold neFd-" This invigorating play offers unlimited scope for a scenic equip ment, quite out of the ordinary, and i every detail will be carefully attended to-

GERMAN PEACE NOTE

n
Berlin, Germany, Dec. 13.-FolIow-
ing is the text of the note addressed by
Germany and her allies to the entente
governments:
"The most terrific war ever expert
enced in history has been raging for
the last two years and a half over a
large part of the world.-a catastrophe
which thousands of years of common
civilization was unable to prevent, and
which injures the most precious
achievements of humanity.

hilate our adversaries. In spite of our
CONSEQUENCES of our military and eco
nomic strength and our readiness to
continue the war (Which has been
forced upon u.s. until the bitter end, if
necessary; at the same time prompted
by the desire to avoid further blood

of war, the four allied powers propose
to enter forthwith into peace negotia-
tions.

than made up for this.

ENGLAND WILL
SAY NO TO PEACE"
CANNOT ACCEPT ON THE TERMS

Regarded as Prepostrous and IN

proposed"
The nation looks to Lloyd-George to
frame this answer at his first appear
ance as premier in parliament next
Tuesday.
Press and public, alike to-day voiced
rejection of any peace based on Ger.
many's idea of her victory.
Terms, as given out by the German
embassy in Washington, are generally
regarded as prepostrous and un-
worthy of serious consideration.
The only question debated in edi-
torial comment was whether the allies
in their reply would set forth their
own terms on which they would con-
slider peace.
1t is conceded Germany made clev-
er diplomatic move, because fiat re-
fusal considering peace might place on
the allies responsibility for further
continuance of the war.
A number of papers therefore sug-
gested that IL the allies should set
forth terms in their reply they could
turn the responsibility back on the
Teutonic powers.
Some think the Teutonic note was
a trick to start discussion apong the
allies and start ascension

"The four allied powers have been
obliged to take up arms to defend JUS
tice and the liberty of national evoIu-
ton. The glorious deeds of our armies
have in no way altered their purpose.
We always maintained the firm belief
that our own rights and justified claims
in no way control the rights of these
nations.
"The spiritual and material progress
which were the pride of Europe at The
beginning of the twentieth century are
threatened with ruin. Germany and
her Observation-Disclosures Bulgaria

They gained gigantic advantages over
adversaries superior in number and
war material. Our lines stand Un-
shaken against ever repeated attempts
made by armies.
"The latest attack in the Balkans

demonstrated that further continuance

Sioux City, Dec. 13.-Judge George
Jepson of the district court has
shattered popular police theory.
The court held that a man whose
establishment is raided may swear
at the intruding officers, as roundly,
as warmly, and as continuously as
he desired, without subjecting him

So long as he does not disturb the

PART OF THE j. S.
IN PEACE OFFER
ADMINISTRATIVE CIRCLES ARE
YET UNDETERMINED.
MUST HAVE WORLD GUARANTEE
Otherwise There Can be No Perrna-
nent Peace. Editorial Opinion
Of Newspapers Says it
is Nearer.

Washington, Dec. 13.-What part
the United States will play in Ger
many's peace offer was undetermined.
The big ideas in officials minds are:
That England and her allies should
at least, seriously discuss the offer;
That the only settlement would
have to be backed by world guaran-
tee for permanent peace;
That the United States will not be
stampeded in the peace movement.
Officials think Germany's terms, as
revealed by the German embassy, are
such that only a international agree
ment could make peace stick. At this
time officials feel doubt If such a guar
antee could be effected.
Germany's terms impose hardships
on Russia and the Balkans while Ger
many aspires in Asia Minor. All these
require world guarantee to consid-
er permanent peace
While the administration feels cer-
tain England will not accept Ger
many's peace proposal, it attaches
great Importance to it's forming and
entering wedge for peace parties.
Peace May Be Nearer.
New York, Dec. 13.-The bulk of
editorial opinion of American news
papers today seems to be peace may
have been brought nearer by Ger
many's proposals but that many things
stand in the way of an early ending
of the war.
General editorial comment express
es the belief the belief that the peace
proposal will not be acceptable to the
allies.
Financiers and publicists who today
lemphasized the situation, revealed d.
version of opinion and the majority
declaring peace brought nearer but
mot Immediately possible because
peace at this time is unacceptable TO
the allies.

U. S. ANXIOUS TO AID
GERMANY'S MOVE OFFERS OP.
PoRTUNITY TO WILSON.
President Shows Deep Interest in
News From BerIin-Peace Terms
Topic at Cabinet Session.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The scales of
peace or war have been placed in the
hands of President Wilson. In Ger
man quarters it is believed these are
so evenly balanced that they will tip
to that side on which the president
throws the weight of his influence.
No event since the declaration Of
war in 1914 has stirred Washington
so profoundly as the news that the
German chancellor had submitted a
formal offer to the allied governments
to discuss peace.
The president showed the deepest
interest in the news.
At the White House it was stated
uno1Iicially that the president was anx-
ious that the United States should play
a greater part than that of mere mes
senger. 1t was said that the German
offer furnished the opportunity which
he had been seeking for months. 1t
was declared to be certain that the
desire of this government for early
peace would be made known to the
belligerents in the near future, even
if such a communication does not actu-
ally accompany the note conveying
Germany's offer TO the allies.
President Wilson and his cabinet
earlier in the day discussed informal
ly the part the United States will play
if conferences develop from Chancellor
Won Bethmann- Hollweg's offer to enter
into peace negotiations.
The president, it was learned, will
ask the allies to make every effort &c
have peace convention result from
the initial negotiations. -
Following the cabinet meeting II
was stated that no official informa
ton on the German peace move was
laid before the president and his adj
visers, but tia; on the face of the un
official dispatches received in Wash
ington it appeared that the American
government was requested merely Il
lay the German chancellor's propose
before the countries at war with Ger
many and her allies.
The proposal will be presented t.
the entente by American diplomats
accompanied by an informal expires
sion of the desire of the United States
that the allies enter into peace nego
| tiations.
