The afternoon papers had published
the brief statement prepared by Rob-
in In the seclusion Of his stateroom
on board the Jupiter Immediately
after q most enjoyable hour with
Miss Guile. It was a curt and ex-
tremely positive denial Of the ru-
mored engagement. with the addi-
tional information that he never had
seen Miss Blithers and was more or
less certain that she had never set
eyes on him.
A rather staggering coincidence ap-
peared with the published report that
Miss Blithers herself was supposed to
be somewhere in Europe, word hav-
ing been received that day from
sources in London that she had sailed
from New York under an assumed
name. The imaginative French jour

BRITAIN SPLIT ON
 PRESIDENTS NOTE
Some Object to ''Interyention;;"
 Others Favor Courtesy

London, Dec. 26, 3:1O a. m-In- terest in the receipt of President Will sons remain unabated. Newspaper discussion was renewed today with a new impetus administered by the is- sue of the Swiss note. with it's dis closure of a American consult tation weeks ago and by long cable despatches recording the discussions. specu1ations and criticisms in Amer ica. On the main question as to how President Wilson's note and similar communications be treated by the allies opinion remains as already re- corded. There is on the one hand a rCiteratiOn of the rooted Obiec. tion of the allies to inopportune and ill-advised Intervention by neutrals" and on the other an appeal for court eouS treatment of neutral represen. tations it being urged that the allies are bound to take them into account, for to do otherwise would be to re- duce themselves to the level of the aggressors who began the war.
 Apart from the main question there is much discussion as to the genises, nature\ and probable effects of President Wilson's message De- spatches from Washington and New York represent public opinion as un- formed and as curious on these points as opinion is here. It seems a matter of special satisfaction to some edi- torial writers that criticism of the presidents phraseology and surprise at the course he has taken, are, ac- cording to these despatches, identical on both sides of the Atlantic. The Times says: Tt would not be easy to discover in the recent history of di- plomacy state paper issued by any great power which has proved so ex- ceedingly difficult of plain interpre- tation. President Wilson's first duty to his fellow citizens. to the combat ants and to other neutrals would seem to be to make his meaning less ab- scure.''4
 Switzerlands action, while de- clared in quarters where President Wilson's note was met by an emphatic no reception, offering no greater prospect of bringing peace than that of the president, is treated more len iently. Tt will not satisfy'' says the Chronicle, from the misfortune of the circumstances under which the American note was published making

PEACE WOULD MEAN NATIONS IN BONDAGE
British Cabinet Minister Declares
 That Is Germany'S Price

Paris Dec 26, 11:5O a. m.--In ad-
 dresses at the national congress of the
 French socialist party Arthur Hender-
 son, the British cabinet minister and
 G. H. Roberts, member of the British
 parliament, both affirmed amidst the
 enthusiastic cheers, that the war must
 be fought out until full guarantees
 have been obtained for a lasting
 peace.
 "In my opinion,'' said MT. Tender
 son, If France and ourselves were to
 enter into negotiations under existing
 conditions we should be nations in
 bondage. Nothing less than that is
 the price our enemies would exact for
 peace today"
 Emile Vandervelde, the Belgian
 socialist leader, said: "Our comrades
 who have remained in invaded Bel
 gium bear up under German dominion
 with admirable firmness. Nothing but encouragem reaches us from them So that it would seem that the persons
 most hostile to war are those farthest from it.
 M. Vandervelde also declared that
 the struggle must be carried on until
 Belgium and Serbia are delivered and Caesar is laid low.''
 Tn his speech MT. Henderson said: "In my opinion we have now
 reached the most dangerous and diff cult, period of the war. During the next few months the democracies of 1 England and France are going to be 1 tested as never before. Do not mis- understand me. I do not mean that ] the stress and strain of fighting in the l field will be more severe, although I l do not ignore such a possibility. But 1 the danger is of an netirely different { character Our stupendous losses, our l unprecedented heroism of war, our 1 love of peace, may lead us to mortgage the future. With such awful experi- ences we are ape to forget the great moral ideals for which we entered the struggle. We are not only fighting against material forces which are highly organized, but we are engaged in a great spiritual conflict upon the result of which depends all our great ideals. If we enter into negotiations 1 now we do so when Germany is not repentant for her wrong d oing and is glorifying in the successes of her military efforts-in fact in the victory of German imperialism. In my opinion, if France and ourselves were
 
 ing conditions, with such a spirit, we shoud be nations in bondage. Moth ing less than that is the price which our enemy would exact for peace to- day.
 1T cannot tell you how many !! months and what will be the rewards of victory if we are true to ourselves. We shall have asserted the rights of
 nations, large or small, to live their own lives undisturbed by the am- bitions of powerful neighbOrs We shall have exacted such reparation for wrongs done them by this war will be a warning to aggressors for all time to come. We shall have laid the foun- dations of that league of nations, be- einning with those who have fought and suffered at our side, which will deliver Europe and the world from the terror of war.

Must Establish Authority by, Arms

IHAuSU AISAStOASIA DSt AIAlS.
 Petrograd, Sunday Dec. A, via London, Dec. 26.-Discussing the coming reply to peace proposals, the Rech says: 4
 '"The official reply cannot state that the entente allies aim to bring the Turkish empire to an end in order to remove forever German aims of world dominion. or that the allies will demand reorganization of Aus tria-Hungary in order to make inn possible the fulfillment of Germany ideas regarding central Europe which form the first step of their program, for world power. Diplomacy cannot suggest these terms until the allies have laid the firm foundation for success of their present military tasks. But, by saying less, diplo- macy would be acknowledged g. re- suit. of the war unsuccessful to the allies.
 "Italy has not occupied Trieste, France has not created firm from tier along the Rhine. England has not destroyed the German fleet nor have the allies as 8 whole succeeded in crippling the German land forces. And therefore there are no guaran- tees for the future in national rela- tions which will free the world from the oppression of militarism.''
 The Rech says that even If Ger many should make the unexpected conclusion of relinquishing territorial gain and restoring ante bellum con- ditions, the aim of the Allies would not be fulfilled and that the only terms acceptable to Russia would be those dictated by herself and her al- lies.
