Alarmist reports were in circula- tion yesterday in Nome when the storm was at it's height that advices
 had been received from St. Paul is
 land that veritable tidal wave was sweeping that section and proceed ing .northward. The report carriers averred that these advices were most alarming, and grim were the forebodings when the force of this storm would be felt in Nome. It was to make the 1913 storm look like thirty cents. The news had half the people on the south side of Front street in reasonable degree of scare, and it's authenticity was not doubted. No confirmation of the story was received by this paper, and when ins the evening the heavy gale from the southward which ragged all day yesterday swung to the northwest, it was seen that no real danger could be apprehended from high water. Notwithstanding the wind, the water yesterday was never very high. The rain that fell was one of the worst such storms of the year, and arrivals from the creeks said that trails are in ter

PREPAREDNESSIS BAKERS SUBJECT
 AT PHILADELPHIA
Secretary Tells Audience War Is a ''New Thing" and United States
 May Get In

Philadelphia, December 16.--Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, addressing the American Academy of Political and Social Science here tonight, declared that Amer ica has learned from Europe that war is a new thing and that this country may set into it. He spoke on "The Real Signif- canoe Of Preparedness"
 MT. Baker said that the United States. by preparing against the invasion of it's rights had no idea of aggressiveness, but that If the great test should come, we should find ourselves adequately pre- pared.'
 Although America is for peace there are some prices that are too high,'' he added.
 A part of the programme of real pre- paredness, the secretary declared, must be the elimination of huge war profits. which tempt the manufacturers of mu- nitions to want war rather than peace"
 Preparedness comes to us as the result of what is going on in Europe" con- tinued Mir. Baker. "Our standing army Is in the nature of a small police force and is inconsistent with the steady growth of population in the United States.
 Preparedness includes a better co-ordi~ nation of industries of the nation, the development of a spiritual attitude and complete change in economic and so- cial life. We've defined the necessity of military training; that modern war in wolves enormously larger forces in pro- portion to the population; that it means complete abstraction of men of all classes from occupations and business.

STABILITY IN RUSSIA

Petrograd, December 15.-(Via London. December 16.)-A resolution adopted by the congress of nobles. containing, like the earlier formulas of the Duma and the council of the empire, vigorous de- nUnciation of the influences which have become conveniently known as dark forces" and cannot at present be more specifically defined, Is one of the most important political developments of the week.
 This pronouncement by one of the oli- est and most conservative elements of the empire, 1t is pointed out, has defi- nitely brought the whole country into complete unanimity. The German peace proposal, which has given Russia the op- portunity for emphatic repudiation of ru- mors which had been spread abroad, with out the slightest support in the eenti- nent of the nation itself, and the appoint nent of a new foreign minister, who is not uncongenial to the Duma, have com bined to relieve the political tension and has led to the belief that the govern ment has acquired new stability.

 PREMIER MAY BE DELAYED
 There appears to be a consensus of opinion that the allies should not consider entering into conference until they know approximately the central powers policy and unless they consider that policy contains the seeds for agreement. The Russian rejection of the oyertures was published too late for comment by the morning pa pers. All the afternoon papers refrain from expressing their opinion thereon.
 Premier Lloyd-Georges first ap- pearance in the House of Commons In his new capacity as prime minister may be delayed until the government is in a position to pronounce a defi- nite statement of its policy toward negotiations.
 Sir Hed1ey Lebas, who is a retired soldier, writes to the papers urging that the men in the trenches have the highest right to speak on the question and that their view should be obtained before any measures are decided upon.
 Dispatches from Switzerland say that Count Tisza, the Hungarian pre- mier, has gone to Berlin to use his influence for peace.
