LIoyd-George In Long Expected
Address To House of Commons
Declares That mo Real Offer
Has As Yet Been Received"
ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT
OF MILITARY DIRECTOR
France, Japan and Russia United
In Refusal To Consider Pro-
posals Made BY Doctor Won
Bethmann-HoIIWeg As Serious
ASSOCIATED Pics, by FEDERAL wireless,

T ONDON, December 20 -
IL Great Britain will have none
of the German peace proposals.
Neither will Japan, Russia or
France, and while Italy has as yet
taken no official action it is un-
derstood that she also regards
with suspicion the proffer made
by the German chancellor in his
recent address in Berlin.
David Lloyd George, newly
created premier of the realm in
his first address before the house
of commons in his new capacity
as head of the government and
responsible leader of the nation,
did not absolutely close the door
to all further peace moves, but he
held out little hope for the more
ardent pacifcists and the report
that the cabinet he has chosen to
assist him in his duties is pledgeo
to carry on the war until the terms
of the Entente Allies are met to the
full was verified.
RUSS SCORN OFFER
The address of Lloyd-George
preceded in point of actual time
the official announcement that the
Imperial Council of Russia had
adopted almost word for word the
resolution passed by the duma re-
Gently, refusing without an oppos-
ing vote, to enter into any peace
negotiations with Germany. This
action of the council puts the po-
sition of the Cars government
beyond all question.
Japan also refused to have any
thing to do with the peace pro-
posals, and Premier BRAND Of
France announced in the French
senate yesterday that the Entente
Allies will send today a concerted
reply to the enemy nations max
ing it known to the Central Pow
ers that it is impossible to take
their request for peace seriously"
That parliament is solidly back
OF the attitude of the government
to carry on the war to a success
full ending was made evident by
the action of the house of lords
yesterday evening in approving the
utterances OF a number Of leaders
in the upper house, declaring that
the British policy is to fight on to
victory ito the last man and the
last shilling" Germany must
yield and pledge reparation for
the past. That is the gist of the
statements Of such men as Lord
Curzon, government leader in the
lords.
cox OUTLINES POLICY
Lord Curzon, in presenting the
cabinets policy, asserted that the
policy of the government is that
the war will be prosecuted to the
utmost, and that there must be an
ample return for all sacrifices, full
reparation, and security given that
the Teuton Grimes will not be re-
peated."
The Marquis of Crewe told the
lords, 1--WE must carry on the war
to the last man and the last shill-
ing"
In the course of Lloyd-George's
speech in the house of commons
the new. premier served notice that
the nation must restrict itself rig

TRUST TO ARMY

I'VE will wait he continued,
until we hear what terms and guar
lntces are surer than those which
germany broke. Meanwhile we
continue to trust in an unbroken
lrmy."
He asked with scOrn whether
all the outrages which Germany
'las committed on land and sea" had
oecn liquidated 'by a few pious
)hrases about humanity" -.
Lloyd George characterized
Chancellor Won Bethmann-H
weg's speech in the Reichstag as
constituting in substance a denial
If the only peace terms possible,
He referred to the Irish question as
| misunderstanding which it is hop
ed will be removed, and said that its
settlement would be a great measure
toward successful prosecution OF
the war.

l appear with the greatest re-
sponsibility that has fallen on any
man, as the chief adviser of the
Crown in the midst of the most
gigantic war and upon which the
destiny of nations and humanity
depends. The harvests of the
United States and Canada are fail
ures. l appeal to the nation to as
sist the government in distributing
our resources.
DEMANDS PREPARATION"
Without reparation, he declared,
peace will be impossible.
He said that the Allies feel that
they should know, before entering
upon negotiations, that Germany is
prepared to accede to the only
terms on which could be obtained a
peace for Europe which would also
be maintained.
NO REAL PROPOSAL =
Emphasizing that the Allies have
not had definite suggestions for
peace terms, Lloyd-George said
that for the Entente to enter into
proposals of which they had no
knowledge, would be to put their
heads into a moose with the rope
end in the hands of Germany.
Continuing, the premier pointed
out that much as the Allies long for
an honorable peace, both the note
which the Central Powers have
transmitted through the neutrals,
and chancellor Won Bethmann-
Hollweg's speech, afford but small
encouragement and hope for an
honorable and lasting peace.
ALLIES IN HARMONY
"Our answers will be given in
full accord with our allies" the
premier told the house, amid
cheers. Each of us, separately
and independently, has arrived at
the same conclusion. | am glad
that the first answers we're given
by France and Russia
He announced also, in discussing
continuance of the war and Brit
ish policy for its prosecution, that
during the war shipping will be
mathematical" in the true sense OF
the word.
The formal reply of the Allies
will be made in a few days, he in
formed the house.

The days are slipping softly by and
our beautiful May is about to say
farewell. How much gladness she
has brought this year, and last year,
and all the years before Even be-
fore the name of May was given her,
May, the warm hearted, sympathetic
month that brings flowers for all.
If you but take the time to stroll
through the shaded woodlands and
commune with nature and with ma
lures God, who is not overwhelmed
with the presence of a Supreme ON
impotence? Can the grandest edifice
that even human hands created or
the greatest sermon conceived in the
mind of man point with a more direct
finger than does the trill of the bird
or the blooming of the wild flower
TO an ever loving God. Those who
have been so unfortunate as to have
lived in crowded cities all their lives
have not had the pleasures and bless
ings derived from a quiet stroll
through the woods in the lovely
month of May, especially in a retro
spective mood when all nature seems
TO be in time with the Infinite, when
the very soul seems almost to burst
its prison house of clay and ascend
to its Maker. l have in mind one
such day years ago in another state
after downpour of rain one Sunday
morning. The afternoon brought a
cessation, but not sunshine, when
several who were bound together by
ties of love motored to a church far
removed from the hustle and bustIe
of a noisy city, and behind the church
was the silent city of the dead, where
a new made mound of an lniaht
pointed with mute finger the ROAD 10

than any sermon preached from any

Liable to be Conscripted any Time For

Angel visits are said to be few and
far between, so are those Of state
guards to jails for recruits for the
public roads. Occasionally, however,
one hobs up serenely and there is
anxiety in the lookup, as was the
case yesterday when one of this class
of terrors to evil loers knocked for
admittance at the castle presided over
by Sergeant Cox and his deputy, Will
liam Gambler. This unwelcome visitor
SEED up the inmates who had been
smoking, sleeping, playing cards anc
indulging in other time-killing de-
vices, and after having selected ten
desirables, ordered them to pack w
and fall in. Five of the elect were
white and five colored. There was nc
declining the invitation. The fiat OF
the guard was Gnal-"Come alongi

was no appeal.
This select number comprised GER

suard may prove deterrent to indi-

ime in jail as they are liable to be-
come wielders of picks or shovels.
