PROGRESS OF ALL EUROPE
 IS THREATENED WITH RUIN

The spiritual and material prog ress which were the pride of Europe at the beginning of the twentieth cen- tury are threatened with ruin. Ger many and her allies, Austria H un- gary, Bulgaria and Turkey gave proof of their unconQuerable strength in this struggle. They gained gigantic advantages over adversaries superior in number and war material. Our repeated attempts made by armies.
 The last attack in the Balkans has been rapidly and victoriously over come. The most recent events have demonstrated that further continu- ance of the war will not result in breaking the resistance of our forces, and the whole situation with regard to our troops justifes our expecta- ton of further successes.
 If, in spite of this offer of peace and reconciliation, the struggle should go on. the four allied powers are re- solved to continue to a victorious end. but they disclaim responsibility for this before humanity and history. The imperial government, through the good offices of your excellency, asks the ,goNernmen of Chere is inserted the name of the neutral power ad- dressed in each irtstarce) to bring his communication to the knowledge 0f the government of (here are in- serted the names of the belliger- ants )''
New Britain herald., 1916-12-13

not only has won an immense series of victories, but also holds in it's power extensive hostile territories. Un- broken in strength as our latest treacherous enemy has just exper1- enced.
 Can our enemies hope to conquer or shatter this alliance of powers? They will never succeed in breaking it by blockade and starvation meas ures. Their war aims, to the attain ment of which they have come no nearer in the third year of the war, will in the future be proved to have been completely unattainable. Use- less and unavailing, therefore is the prosecution of the fighting on the part of the enemy.
 '"The powers of the Quadruple AL lance, on the other hand, have eff fectively pursued their aims, namely, defense against attacks on their exist ence and integrity, which were planned in concert long since, and the achievement of real guarantees, and they will never allow themselves to be deprived of the basis of their exist ence which they have secured by ad- vantages won.
 The continuation of the murder ous war, in which the enemy can de- stroy much, but cannot-as the Quad- ruple Alliance is firmly confdent-al- ter fate is ever more seen to be an aimless destruction of human lives and property, an act of inhumanity justified by no necessity and a crime against civilization.
 This conviction. and the hope that similar views may also be begun to
 be entertained in the enemy camp has caused the idea to ripen in the Vienna cabinet-in full agreement
 with the governments of the allied (Teutonic) powers-of making a can- did and loyal endeavor to come to a discussion with their enemies for the purpose of paving a way for peace.
 The governments of Austria Hun gary, Germany, Turkey, and Bulgaria have addressed today identical notes to the diplomatic representatives in the capitals concerned who are in trusted with the prom otion of enemy nationals, expressing an inclination to enter into peace negotiations and re- questing them to transmit this over- ture to enemy states. This step was sim ultaneously brought to the knowl- edge of the representatives of the Holy See in a special note, and the active interest of the Pope for this offer of peace was solicited. Like wise the accredited representatives of the remaining neutral states in the 1 four capitals were acquainted with this proceeding for the purpose of informing their governm ents.'' Austria and her allies by this step have given new and decisive proof l of their love of peace. It is now for their enemies to make known their views before the world.
 "Whatever the result of it's pro- posal may be, no responsibility can fall on the Quadruple Alliance. even
 before the judgment scat Of it's own i peoples, if it is eventually obliged to continue the war;"

Austria's Statement.

London, Dec, 13.-An official Aus trian statement referring to the peace offer, says:
 "When in the summer of 1914 the patience of Austria-Hungary was ex- hausted by a series of systematically continued and ever increasing provo cations and menaces, and the mon archy, after almost fifty years of u1l- broken peace, found itself compelled to draw the sword, this weighty de- cision was animated neither by aggres- sive purposes nor by designs of con- quest, but solely by the bitter necessity of self-d efense, to defend it's existence and safeguard itself for the future against similar treacherous plots Of hostile neighbors.
 That was the tack and aim ot the monarchy in the present war. In com bination with it's allies, well tried in loyal comradeship in arms, the Austro- Hungarian army and Heet. fighting. bleeding, but also assalllng and conouering. gained such successes that they frustrated the intentions of the enemy.

 Lax-a-TOne Boosters.

Well" said MT. Martin, "you can see that told the truth that local people are endorsing Lax It is a simple matter if you are skepti- cal as to the virtues of this tonic to simply investigate and find out as to the truth of our assertions. We are letting your own people right here in New Britain advise you as to whether this remedy has the merit
 MT. Howell, over his signed testi- monial, says:
 1T find Lax-a-Tone remedy of great merit I have used it for sto- mach trouble. I have had severe in digestion that would effect me with distressing symptoms No matter what I ate it would turn sour, gas would form and I would bloat up ter ribly. It is needless to say that I have tried in many ways to get re- lief, but none of them presented themselves until I used Lax-a-Tone, too highly"
 Tired, weary people who seem to have no ambition with sallow skins, blurred tongue sour acid stomach, have gas pains and bloat up until they are uncomfortable, will find Lax-a-tone 8 Godsend. It will increase the appetite, enrich the blood, re- lieve constipation, tone up the nerves, and, in fact, will suprise you with the results you will receive in one weeks time. <,@' .'.":

Note to the Vatican.

Berlin, Dec. 13.-The note of the German government, as presented by Dr. von Muhlberg, German minister to the Vatican, to Cardinal Gasparri, Papal secretary of state, reads as fol- lows:

50 Says Germany in Note to Entente Allies - Separate Statement Made to Vatican Austria Defends Course Win Communication to the World.

Berlin. Dec. 13.-Following is the text of the note addressed by Ger
 many and her allies to the neutral powers for transmission to the en-
 tente allies:
 SIhe most terrific war experienced
 in history has been raging for the last two years and a half over a large part of the world-a catastrophe which thousands of years of common civili-
 zat1on was unable to prevent and
 which injures the most precious i. ach1evem ents of humanity.
 . Our aims are not to shatter nor lann1h1late our adversaries In spite PoSt our consciousness of our military and economic strength and our read iness to continue the war (which has been forced upon us) to the bitter lend, if necessary; at the same time, prompted by the desire to avoid fur ther bloodshed and make an end to the atrocities of war. the four allied powers propose to enter forthwith into peace negotiations.
 The propositions which they bring forward for such negotiations, and which have for their object guar antee of the existence of the honor and liberty of evolution for their na- tions, are, according to their firm be- lief, an appropriate basis for the es- tablishment of lasting peeac.
 'The four allied powers have been. !, obliged to take up arms to defend i justice and the liberty of national l evolution. The glorious deeds of our armies have in no way altered their purpose. We always maintained the 1 firm belief that our own rights and 1 Justified claims in no way control the l rights of these nations.
