TOOK occasion to comment favorablv
upon the cost accounting methods of
the petroleum, lumber and coal indus
trles, which the Federal Trade Com
mission is at present investigating. In
this connection he referred to Refer
endum No. II, which contains the
suggestion that certain great eXtrac-
tive industries of the country be
placed in a class by themselves, be-
cause of their intimate relations to the
great natural resources which are
fundamental to our national industrial
development. "The public interests in
volved will make proper cost account
ing methods an absolute necessity"
was the speakers conclusion, from
which he said there is no escape.
Mr.. Hurley dwelt at some length
on the subject of depreciation, with
the illuminating statement that only
few manufacturers make proper
provision for depreciation in their ac-
counting system, and he expressed the
belief that the majority of business
failures are the result of failure to
appreciate cost accounting.
The speaker, who is chairman of a
commission of five members, which has
been in existence fo five years. closed
with a plea for national co-opeation
to enable this country to stand, at the
end of the war. shoulder to shoulder
against the world in the commercial
struggle that is bound to ensue.

GERMAN DIPLOMATS ARE
SANGUINE PEACE WILL
RESULT FROM PROFFER

Washington, d. c., Dec. 1S.-Presi-
dent Wilson's course of action in con-
nection with Germany's peace pro-
posals remained undecided to-day
while he awaited the official proffer
which the Central powers have asked
the United States to transmit to their
enemies. The impression grew, that
while the Presidents first considera-
ton was to safeguard his usefulness
as peacemaker by emitting any COM
ment which might possibly be coupled
with rejection by the entente powers,
there was a disposition to find some
way, however. delicate and informal
to intimate the sincere wish of the
United States that some basis for dis
cussion at least might he reached.
Many officials felt that an indication
of the temper of the entente govern
ments should be available before the
influence of the United States was
thrown into the balance.
The Germanic diplomats in this
country reflecting the views of their
governments, believe the answer of
the entente allies will be an inquiry
as to the basis on which Germany pro-
poses peace and with that much as q
foundation they see the warning ma
tions we'll on the way to a conference
from which they are sanguine peace
would result.

1t was reiterated that until the Off
cial documents had been received for
transmittal to the entente allies no de-
cision could be reached as to what the
United States would do.
The London press comment on the
peace offer is known to be in accord
with confidential advices coming to
this government before Chancellor
Won -Hollweg's speech and
the note were published. How far
this comment represents the views
of the new British government can
only be surmised.
In quarters close to the entente
allies an opinion prevailed that if the
entente allies made reply their first
course might be to inquire what
guarantees would be given by Ger
many that the terms of a peace treaty
would be fulfilled and that a treaty
would not be violated as, the Allies
contend, in the case of Belgium. BY
making such a reply entente diplo-
mats see the responsibility for con-
tinuing the war thrown back to the
Central Powers.
The President has been urged by
some advisers to make his address to
the opening of the conference of gov
ernors here tomorrow night, the oc-
casion to express in general terms his
attitude without binding himself in a
definite way.

Kesher Israel Synagogue
Bought By State For Park

The synagogue Kesher Israel, the
last of the five church properties in the
Capitol Park Extension zone not ac-
quired by the State, was bought to-
day by the Capitol Park Extension
Commission for $25.50O. The State
took an option at that figure and the
! purchase will be consummated in a
short time.
This synagogue is at Fourth and
State streets, right across the street
from the State Capitol and has been
in negotiation for many months. The
State will give the congregation an
opportunity to secure new house of
worship before demolishing the build
ing. The other four churches have
been in the hands of the State for
several months, although some of them
are being occupied pending construc-
ton of new churches. They include
st. Lawrence's Catholic Church, the
Chisuk Emuna synagogue, the
Bethel A. NJ. e. Church, now the Gov
ernor's Troop armory and the Wesley

LONDON PAPERS
DENOUNCE OFFER
Urge Rejection of Offer or Sub
stitution of Counter Peace
Proposal

London, Dec. 13. - The morning
newspaper editorial views on Ger
mans peace proposals take two main
grounds-that the offer should be re-
jected or that it should be met with
a statement of the terms on which the
entente allies are willing to effect a
peace, leaving it to the central powers
to accept or reject it.
The Morning Post argues that the
opening of negotiations would imply
an armistice in which Germany would
obviously occupy the predominant
position.
The Daily News, while urging the
people not to pay too much attention
to the chancellor's arrogant invita-
tion," says the entent allies must not
commit the fatal blunder of refusing
to enter into negotiations because the
Teutons are evidently playing an as
tute diplomatic game.

Adjournment of Reichstag
Is Regarded as Tantamount
to Vote of Confidence

Berlin, Dec. IL, via London, Dec. 13
The speech of Chancellor Won Beth
mann-Hollweg before the Reichstag
to-day, in which he declared that Ger
many was willing to make peace, was
not marked by u single expression of
dissent while the significant passages
were greeted with hearty bravos and
cheers. 1t was noticeable, however,
that Count Friedrich Won Westarp,
the conservative leader, and others of
his following sat silent and unmoved
even when the galleries and news
papermen Joined demonstratively in
the applause.
The indefinite adjournment of the
Reichstag by its own decision leaves
the government a free hand to con-
duct further negotiations and is re-
garded as tantamount to a vote of
confidence.
