SUiss Note Adds New
Impetus to Discussion
ofPeace Note in England

London, Dec. 26.- Interest in the
receipt of President Wilson's note
remains unabated. Newspaper dis
cussion was renewed to-day with a
new impetus administered by the is
sue of the Swiss note with its disclo-
sion of a Swiss-American consulta-
ton weeks ago and by long cable dis
patches recording the discussions.
speculations and critisms in America.
on the main question as to how Pres
munications should be treated by the
corded There is on the one hand a
reiteration of the rooted objection of
the allies to iopportune and i'll ad-
vised intervention by neutrals." and
on tie other an appeal for courteous
treatment of neutral representations,
II l. being urged that the allies are
bound to take them into account, for
to do otherwise would be TO reduce
themselves to the level of the ag-
gressors who began the war"
Apart from the main question there
is much discussion as to the genisis,
nature and probable effects of Pres
ident Wilson's message. Dispatches
from Washington and New York rep
resent public opinion in America as
uninformed and as curious on these
points as opinion here. II seems a
matter of special satisfaction to some
editorial writers that criticisms of the
Presidents phraseology and surprise
at the course he sahs taken are ac-
cording to these dispatches identi-
cal on both sides of the Atlantic.

CONFERENCE MAY
BE BROKEN OFF
IF CarranZa Has Not Sent Ans
wer Further Farley Will
Be Ended e

Washington, d. c., Dec. 26.--Unless
General Carranza returns favorable
answer to-day to the last communlca-
ton made to his commissioners py
the American representatives week
ago at Philadelphia the negotiations
will come to an end.
The Mexican commissioners Will
meet in New York late to-day and
If Carranza has sent 90 them his an
swer it is expected Luis Cabrera
chairman of the Mexican delegatlon'
will forward it Immediately TO sec
retary Lane, chairman of tie Amefl-
can section.
When the joint Mexican American
commission reconvened at Philadel-
phia, Alberto J. PAM, the Mexican
commissioner who had carried the
protocol signed at Atlantic city 10
Queretaro for the ratification OF Cen
eral Carranza submitted to a counter
proposal. 1t was in effect re1ection
Of the agreement entered into by the
commissioners and the substitution
of another protocol that had peen
drafted by the Mexican COMMISSION
ers at tie direction of Carranza,
The Americans replied in written
communication saying they could not
consider the counter protocol anu IN
sisting that the agreement ALREADY
made must be either ratlneo OF eei-
initely repudiated. Some aspect OF an
ultimatum was given the communlca-
ton by the insistence an answer
would be expected by December 70.
1t was not specifically stated that
failure to ratify the agreement woulo
result in a final break in negotiations
but the intimation that the Amerl-
cans would not continue the DEBATES
that already have extended over
three months was clearly made.
Whether Carranza has ratified the
agreement is unknown to the Amerl-
can commissioners or by the state
department. Mr.. Cabrera was in
Washington yesterday to spend
Christmas with Ambassador-design &c
Arredondo and returned to New forK
last night to meet with Commission
ers PAM and Bonills. He did not COM
municate with Secretary Lane while
here and at the embassy 1t was salo
this morning that when he left here
no word as to Carranza's action had
been received.
If Carranza's answer is commune
Gated to Secretary Lane to-day ar
rangements for a continuation OF the
conferences of the joint commissloI
will he made unless the character oil
the reply is such as to make 1t eYl-
dent that continued debate on the
subject is useless. In that case a for
NAL exchange of notes by the chair
men of the commission will probably
mark the finish of the work.
In the event that Carranza agrees
TO the terms of the protocol as signed
IL is said that the session will be re-
sumed one week from to-day, per-
haps in Washington, although the
Mexicans have expressed desire thai

Dauphin Deposit Trust Co.
to Have Demonstration

The Dauphin Deposit Trust Com
pany will conduct demonstration of
its new Elliott-Fisher bank book
keeping machine in the main banking
room tomorrow morning between 10
and - O'Clock. This is done for the
purpose of explaining the operation
of the machine and what it will mean
TO the depositors.
Donald Mccormick is responsible
for the statement that the Elliott
Fisher machine has been purchased
for the purpose of rendering better
service to the banks customers. There
are several features in connection
with Elliott-Fisher bank bookkeeping
which benefit the banks depositors.
The first is machine accuracy. With
Elliott-Fisher bookkeeping the work
is done with machine accuracy and is
proved from every angle, thus reduc-
ing the possibility of n mistake in a
depositor's account to an absolute
minimum.
Another depositor's service feature
is the statement. AS this statement
is made on Elliott-Fisher machine at
the same operation the ledger is posted
and is checked and proven at the
same time, it must be an exact dupli-
cate of the ledger account and it is
always ready for delivery to the de-
positor and can be had on a moment S
notice. 1t is always completely up-to-
date to the last transaction.
The Elliott-Fisher Company is
manufacturing bookkeeping machines
which are being used in business in
sututions and banks all over the
world.

is the price our enemies would exact
for peace to-day"

admirable firmness. Nothing but en-

Belgium and Serbia are delivered and
