 IN WASHINGTON
Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Dec. 19- The senate will vote tomorrow on a bill which, if it passes, will make the District of Columbia dry terri tory as far as the senate is con cerned. And the supporters of the bill in the senate are confident that it will pass. Which mean that, af ter the house passes the bill, which it most assuredly will, in the opinion of the prohibtionists, Washington city itself will become dry.
 The senate voted today on the amendment of Senator Underwood introduced few days ago, providing for referendum vote of the resi- dents of the district Since the amendment was introduced there has been considerable debate. A count of the vote today showed that it resulted in tie, which, by senate rules, means that the amendment was defeated.

ENGLAND GAN I
 ACCEPT GERMAN
 PEACE PROPOSAL
Associated Press)

George, in an address delivered be fore the house of commons today on the peace issue. said that peace is impossible without reparation fol part of the damages caused by the war is made by Germany and unless guarantees that Rrussian militarism will never again di.turb the peace of Europe are made. The speech is generally considered to have been very conservative, in that the pre- mier did not say that England will refuse to consider peace terms, pro viding they are of a nature such as he outlined in his speech.
 THE SPEECH.
 LONDON, Dec 19-Premier Lloyd George, in his speech on the Ger man peace proposals today before the house of commons, said, in part:
 There can be no proposal for peace such as Germany has made to us. If the Entente Allies enter into a peace conference with Ger many now, they put their heads into a moose, with the rope end in Germany's hands.
 "Germany's peace note and the speech of the German chancellor in the reiChstag afford but small en couragement and hope for an honor able and lasting peace. And much as we long for it the only end to the war nut be a complete guar antee again't Prussian miltarism again disturbing the peace of Europe.
 Therefore we must wait until we hear what terms and guarantees there are that Germany will observe a peace. It is certain that they will have to be surer than those which Germany has already broken. Mean while we will put our tru.t in our unbroken army"
 NO PEACE FOR RUSSIA.
 LONDON, Dec. 19-The Russian war council today adopted reso- lution, without a dis ,enting vote, to refuse to enter into peace nego- tiations with Germany and her al lies under present conditions. Word to that effect was received at gov ernment headquarters here tonight.
 PEACE TALK EXPECTED.
 LONDON, Dec. 1S.-Delayed)-Da- vid Lloyd George. the new British premier, in a speech in the house of commons tomorrow. will discuss note and outline the whole policy of the new ministry and it's attitude re garding peace. It is thought. how ever, that his speech can be antici- pated from the fact that the new ministry was formed avoWedly for the definite purpose of carrying on the war with all the vigor that the nation can command, to a success ,ful end. Whether or not this will be the policy of the new ministry. how ever, cannot be definitely stated at this time, as Premier Lloyd-George has never discussed the subject with the idea of having his opinions made public.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 16.-Delayed) From the Russian foreign office to- day 1t was stated that a complete and emphatic rejection of Germany's peace offer by Russia, can hardly be expected to be necessary to con vince America and other neutral na tions of the attitude which the al lies will take toward it. The officials here continue to call the propo al bluff saying that It was theatri- cal and insinCere on the part of Germany. and that Germanys wish to impress the neutral nations with the fact that she expected peace under such terms as she named, must have utterly failed. The very nature of the proposal. they claim, and the transparency of the motive which inspired it. are evidence of that fact
