PUBLICATION WITHHELD

With the passage of time. the wonder of Washington grows as to what effect the Wilson note, so unexpectedly and spectacularly produced, will exert on the belligerent nations,
 It is already made apparent that Ger many is delighted. The Kaiser has stated publicly that in the immediate future he will confer with Ambassador Gerard, the American representative. England is chagrined-even embittered to judge from comment which has leaked through the censor. France appears characteristically indifferent. The Rus sian bear is said to be growing.
 It is learned that England will not publish the note until her statesmen have conferred with the statesmen of France and Russia. And even then, it is re- garded as entirely probable that the Eng fish public will be given the Presidents s message only in 'driblets'-in such heartless manner that all the well-round- ed phrases of rhetoric, so pleasing to the student mind and so efficacious in still

WEEKLY REVIEW OF
 THE STOCK MARKET

New York, December 24-A general closing out of speculative accounts and widespread liquidation. accompa- nied by extraordinary severe declines in prices, marked one of the most re- markab1e weeks in the history of the stock exchange. There was some re- covery, however, in the latter dealings. Conditions bearing upon the war, as re- flected in peace developments at Wash ington and the European capitals, pre- cipitated the decline, which was rem dered easier by the market excesses of the autumn months. The brunt of the shrinkage was borne by so- called outsiders namely, the public, which had overplayed their bull posi- tion-in full the week marked the cul- imitation of two years of eXtravagant and unrestrained trading in stocks which owed their prosperity to the war.
 It is generally conceded that the market will be much benefited by the weeks happenings. Stocks have gone into strong hands, speculative issues are nearer to intrinsic values and bank loans are certain to show marked reductions from their recent enormous totals
 It is obvious that operations in the immediate future will be guided whilly immediate future will be guided wholly The most responsible financial inter- ests, including those with connections in the countries of the central powers, maintained their accustomed reserve, this fleeing being strengthened by the utterances of prominent leaders of in- dustry.
 Additional heavy receipts of gold from Canada were helpful not only in stabilizing exchange, but in paying for further supplies. Upon the deveI- opment of the present situation abroad will depend the progress of negotia- ton for other foreign loans. It is understood that the first signs of peace will be followed by important undertakings in behalf of Germany and her allies.

TORONTO IS BITTER

In the meantime, comments of Toronto newspapers, which have just reached Washington, may prove of interest:
 The Evening Telegram-The note will go speaking through the ages as the eternal shame of g. great people. The President of the United States has ex- hausted the misunderstanding possibilities of his interference in Germany's game to secure peace at all costs.
 The Star-But do not blame Woodrow Wilson too much. It was so long since he had written note that his fingers itched.
 The Globe-President Wilson's peace proposals are not likely to be received with much greater cordiality by the allies than the efforts of Won Bethmann Hollweg. No peace to which a Germany, conscious of victory, is party will be acceptable to the allies.
 The World-The President of the United States will have to do much knitting be- fore he gets a stocking.

THE POSSIBLE TERMS

HE POSSlBLE TERMS
 It is believed in Washington, however, that all the belligerents will respond to the message of the President, and each will give it's terms on which it will enter into a compact for lasting peace.
 Germany, naturally, will be the first to make answer. The Kaiser has already stated that he would agree to a termina- tion of the war provided he be permitted to retain conquered territory and be described in history as the victor of the conflict. It is the general opinion in Washington that the allies will make identical answer-that they will agree to conclude the war if the Kaiser will with draw into Germany proper, pay indemnity, destroy his militaristic machine, cede to France, Lorraine and Alsace, restore the independence of Poland, and force Tur- key to yield for disposition to the allies, the city of Constantinople
 It is thought probable that Germany will not accept the terms and that the war will be continued to its logical con cluSion.

BRYAN'S HANDS UPHELD

Among the Presidents friends his fame is doubly increased. William Jennings Bryan, who, some days prior to the ap- pearance of the Presidents peace note, wrote one of similar import, declares MT. Wilson a disciple of peace and congratu- 1ates him in that he saw the light only a few hours after MT. Bryan had seen it.
 Democrats, as a rule, express favor in the action of the President. Even re- publicans (notable Representative Moore of Pennsylvania, generally a bitter dem ocratic critic) declared that the President is to be warmly congratulated-or to the end that the United States might not be forced against it's will to draw its sword and fling defiance across the waters.
 Hope is expressed that the action of the President will serve some good pur- pose. MT. Bryan, for instance, believes that if the allies make any statement. beginning will have been accomplished. He evidently holds that even if the terms to be stated are rejected, disputa- tion will be indulged in which eventual ly will clear away obvious difficulties, and force the sun of peace from behind darl<Sona nlOudS of war

the bruises on Miss Pratt's side
showed that she had been in forcible
contact with the rocks The fact that
she was found unconscious, but float

question as to whether she was stun

able to stand the shock. The latter
theory is not considered improbaD bic

were present.
It is especially regretted that Miss
Pratt had been on the island but few

danger of her position, and also that
so little help was available. No life

TEN COMMANDMENTS
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Specimen of the Wit of Carmen Sylvia

First: Thou shalt not cause the
first quarrel. but if unavoidable, fight
1t through bravely. To be victor in
the first domestic quarrel may have a
tendency to elevate thee in thine hus-
bands mine for all future.
Second: Thou shalt not forget that
thou hast married a man, not a god.
Therefore be not surprised by his
frailties.
Third: Thou shalt not always talk
money to thine husband. Rather try
to get along on the allowance he max
eth thee.
Fourth: If thou considerest thine
husband heartless. remember that,
verify, he hath a stomach. BY persist
emily appealing to his stomach with
well-cooked meals, thou mayest. after
all, touch his heart.
Fifth: Once in a great while, but
not too often, thou shalt let him have
the last word. II tickleth him and
wilt not 40 thee any harm.
Sixth: Thou shalt read the whole
newspaper and magazine, not merely
the stories dealing with scandal and
society. Thine husband will be pleas
antly surprised to find, off and on,
that he can talk on general topics and
even on politics with his wife.
Seventh: Thou shalt not be rude
when quarrelling with thy husband.
Forget not that at one time in thy life
