as the sensations experienced by two
Chicago school girls, almost blown out

Their thrilling experience. which

The heroines of the story are Viola

With a merry laugh the two girls
scampered down the beach to where
the raft was tied. They climbed aboard.
For about ten minutes they rehearsed
the impromptu scenario they con-

South seas.
Really Out to Sea!
Look, Lorraine. the RATS broken

Viola.
The chill north wind was blowing

their reel "melodrama" overwhelmed
by real fear, the girls franticaIly rip
ped a board from the raft and tried
to shove It back to shore. But the ex-
pertinent didn't work-the board was
too short to touch bottom.
The girls screamed for help. Leslie,
who had come from his home looking

London, Dec 13.-The indications that the
various of the entente allies do not intend
to act hastily in making joint response to the peace
proposals of the central powers It pointed out in
welI-informed quarters today that while each one of
the allied governments might indicate its general att
tude, consultation of the allies under the treaty bind
ing them to such action probably would require two
three weeks, making it unlikely that the joint reply of
all the allies will be available before the first of the
year. .s..
One of the factors, which, according to an opinion
expressed here initiates against of the pro-
posa is that the opening of negotiations would neces
sarily be followed by an armistice.

Wilson's course Of action in connection

awaited the official co-offer' which the
central powers have asked the United

The impression grew that while the

was a disposition to find some way,
