FRENCH PREMIER WARNS
PEOPLE OF GERMAN PROPOSAL

PARIS, France, Dec. l4.-Premier
BRAND, new head OF the French re-
organized ministry, IN an address be-
fore the chamber Of deputies yester-
day afternoon, uttered what he de-
clared Is a solemn warning To the
people Of France" to beware Of the
German peace proposals.
When a country such AS Germany
spends years and care and foIethought
in arming itself to the teeth, when it
seizes lr.n everywhere as food for its
armies, and when it violates the laws
OF God end OF mankind by the en-
slavement OF nations. the leaders OF
the countries nenaced by such ma
ton would be worse than guilty If they
did not cry aloud beware at such a
proposal as the German chancellor has
made
THE faint hearted among us and
among the neutral nations which are
our friends are alarmed, but tell you
that nowhere have the successes of
the Germans been decisive. They have
overridden some small countries and
they nave invaded others, but their
turn is yet to come.
The RumaniGns are their last VIC
tins )It the Rumapians will return
to the fight stronger and better able
to meet the attacks of the foe, and
aided by the strength of Russia will
drive the invaders, from their coun-
try"
