WHERE FAULT LIES

After what was said at the Commercial Club last evening at which the fish question was the oughly discussed. facts displayed. injury to our town demons rated: what we may expect in the future and the remedy with which We can save ourselves from starvation pointed out; We may well ask: Can any more be said on this question? Not much. unless it would be to elaborate. otherl wise the situation is clear--or should be.
 The facts brought out last evening by men who have studied the situation, to our mind are ncontroyartible and the result Of our indifference stands out today as hideous as a. nightmare. That We have been indifferent if not negligent was shown to the satisfaction of all What we thought We had cinch on. proved to be mere delusioa as we hadn't even lien on. Canada came along and took everything from us and left us gaping as it were. When we finally discover ed that our bread was being taken away from us we woke up. Those who use their brains started to remedy the defects while others kept throwing objections in the way. Toremove the obstrut- ionists. 8 campaign of education was started, with the final lesson last evening, resulting in the adoption of q resolution by unanimous vote recommending the enactment of the law that was defeated few months ago through the lack of education Today, however, t would be hard to find one man among those who heard the discus sion. advance any more objections. We all left the hall with the firm conviction to join the lead CTS in their efforts. and from now on we feel con- fdent that harmony shall be the password which is all tha5 which was needed.

Make 1t Almost Imperative to Bring

Washington, Dec. Embarrassing
evidence that General CarranZa's gov
eminent is being menaced by bands
of insurgents, coupled with the pros
pect that the first chief will not ac-
cept the Atlantic City protocol unless
the conditions attached to the with
drawal of the punitive expedition are
eliminated, has brought the Mexican
situation to stage Of uncertainty
that is causing growing concern here.
While officials admit that conditions
they confront are embarrassing, and
some high army officials are urging
that Pershing's men be withdrawn it
is insisted there had been no change
i'm the administrations policy. The
army officials no longer conceal their
Impotence over the joint commits
,sion's failure to secure ratification Of
an agreement, and openly are urging
that altered conditions in Mexico
make it almost imperative to bring
the 10000 American troopers now in
Mexico to the border, where they
could be handled to better advantage
if it becomes necessary.

Villas operations in the past week
have convinced army men here that

object of recruiting the strength Of
their forces and gaining equipment,
rather than the occupation of terri

entered some towns as much as eight
times, only to surrender them without
struggle, the net result being to
add considerably to the strength OF
his forces and to the supply of his
ammunition, as he has captured
much, including 30 pieces of artillery.

BELIEVED THAT SOME
METHOD w ILL BE
FOUND TO BRING
ABOUT AN Elk
CHANGE OF
VIEWS.
Tenor of Allies Reply About
as Expected, and Washing
ton Is Hopeful That An
sWer to President Will
Encourage Peace
Efforts.

Washington, Dec. 30.-There will
be no official expression of the views
of President Wilson and the admin
istration, on the entente reply to the
German peace proposal, for the dual
reason that the United States is act
ing as an intermediary between the
belligerents and because the policy OF
silence has been adopted during this
stage of the peace negotiations.
The official opinion which probab
ly was reflection of the official hope
for progress toward peace, was that
some means for further exchange be-
tween the belligerents would be found.
and that even if the present negotia-
tions fail a basis had been laid which
it was hoped would make for pro
gress in the final analysis.
Allies Play for Moral Support.
The first informal comment by one
official who has had chance to study
checked against it the full press text,
was that the allies had responded
very much as expected that they had
played their strongest card for moral
support among their own people and
in neutral countries, and that while
they had made it hard for Germany 10
reply without decidedly changing her
tone, they had still left the door open
for another advance.
Official Washington. however, was
deeply perplexed as to the future. AMI
admitted that it probably depended
on the internal conditions and the
confidence of the two warning groups.
and secondly, on how far President
Wilson would decide to push his own
peace effort. On the whole, opinion
is that the hope of an early peace may
have diminished, but has not disap-
peared.
Germany Awaits Suggestion.
After reading the unofficial text OF
the note, Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, authorized the
following statement:
president Wilson having suggested
finding of method Of stating terms,
do not think that this note will be
answered by my government until
after the entente allies have replied
to the presidents suggestion, stating,
il they SO desire, the modus Operandi
they propose" ,
The German embassy was outward
~ not favorably impressed with the
tenor of the entente note. However,
THE phrase in the note, chat mere
without statement OF
terms. that negotiations should be
opened. is not an offer Of peace" was
/, taken to contain yelled invitation
| to give terms.
The next step by the American gov.
eminent will not be determined until
the entente reply to President WIZ
sons note is received, which is ex'
pected to be in the next rev Gays.
IsWhile it is expected to follow IN a
general way the note received TO-DAY.
officials believe it will make clear
whether any good will be accomplish :

DEMANDS REPAIR
ALTON.
Note Charges Germany with
Responsibility for War,
and Asserts Peace Can
not Come Until Full
Penalty Is Exacted.

Paris, Dec. 30.--In reply to the prof
fer of Germany and her allies for a
peace conference, the entente allies,
in a collective note, declare that they
"refuse to consider proposal which
is empty and insincere."
The note was handed to the Ameri-
can ambassador, William G. Sharp,
today by Premier BRAND, and was
don and Paris.
The entente allies say that no peace
is possible SO long as they have not
secured reparation for violated rights
and liberties, and free existence OF
small states, and have not brought
about a. settlement of the future Sc
curity of the world.
The note declares that the propos-
ais OF the central powers Is not an
offer of peace, but a war maneuver,
and it is declared to- be founded on
Calculated misinterpretation of the
character of the struggle in the past,
the present and the future.
War Aims Not Outlined.
The note does not specifically out
line the defignite war aims of any OF
the entente governments, except Bel
GUM. Before the war, it is pointed
out, Belgium asked for nothing but
to live in harmony with her neigh
bors. Assailed in spite Of her treaties
guaranteeing her inviolability, Bel
GUM, the note says, has taken up
arms to defend her independence and
cher neutrality, violated by Germany"
Belgium's aim, which is declared to
be the only adm of her king and gov
crnment, is explained as "re-estab-
lishment of peace and justice, but
they only desire peace which would
assure to their government legitimate
reparatiOn, guarantees and safeguards
for the future"
The note, which is the joint act of
Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy,
Japan, Montenegro, Portugal, Ru
mania, Russia and Serbia, declares
that the present strife was desired.
provoked and declared by Germany
hand Austria Hungary, and that Ger
many made no effort to bring about
pacific solution of the trouble between
Serbia and Austria Hungary, as did
Great Britain, France and Russia.
German Peace Idea Not Acceptable.
A peace concluded upon the German
idea would be only to the advantage
OF the central powers. the note as
serts, while the disaster caused by
the war, demands penalty. PREPARATION
and guarantees for the future"
The German overtures are describ-
ed az a calculated attempt to influ-
enc the future course of the war and
to end 1t by imposing German
peace. The overtures were also said
to be an attempt to intimidate neutral
public opinion as we'll as to stiffen
|opinion in the central powers, worn
out by economic pressure and crushed
by the supreme effort which has been
imposed upon their inhabitants.
Finally" 1t is asserted, "the over
lures attempt to Justify in advance in
the eyes Of the world new series Of
crime warfare, deporta-
ttions, forced labor and forced enlist
ment OF the inhabitants against their
own country and violation Of neutral
|ity"
