London. Jan. iS.-At to-day's sitting
Of the Prussian Diet, says Reuters Am
sterdam correspondent, several speeches
were made and great enthusiasm was
shown in favor OF the vigorous prose-
cution of the war and increased sub
marine activity.
Paul Breitenbach. Prussian Minister
of Public Works, said the rejection OF
Germany's peace offer has evoked a
feeling that it was now battle to the
utmost for the Fatherland adding that
perhaps the heaviest fight was that Of
truth against enemy lies"
Dr.. Won Heydebrand, the Conserva-

advocated that complete freedom be ac-
corded the military authorities to carry
on unrestricted submarine warfare, de-
claring that the German people were
ready 20 bear the conse guences, for
the entire Prussian people were now
solidly behind the King "to follow
where he leads in the battle for vic
tory"
1--WE demand" DR.. Won Heydebrand
is quoted as having said, "tbe restora-

GEN. MAURICE
Rome Conference Clements De-
termination Not TO Accept
Inconclusive Peace

London. Jan. 1S.-The recent confer

Entente civil and military leaders de-
veloped the utmost harmony and de-
termination TO push the war to con-
clusion satisfactory 10 the Allies, ac-
cording 70 the Onion expressed by
Major General +. B. Maurice, Chief Di-
rector of Military Operations at the
War Office.
Our enemies" said General Maurice,
"are fond of stating IN their press that
France has tired OF the war, while
limiting at a separate peace for Russia,
but | can say confidently, as result
of the return of the delegates from
Rome and Of last weeks conference IN
London with General Nivelle, that
these meetings were much more I'M
portant in bringing victory nearer tnan
any recent military events.
"The result of these conferences
showed the Allies heartily agreed IN .
determination not to accept an neon
elusive peace and that they are as one
in their determination TO make good
Job Of it before they are ready to dis
cuss terms.
AIN the purely military realm our
raids continue with increasing success
and diminishing casualties to our at
tackers, who bring back as many pxiS-
oners as our total casualty list, thus
putting the enemy's dead and wounded
on the plus eide Of our ledger.
1.-THE enemy's offensive in Rumania
has been not only halted, but pushed
back a step. This result probably IS
due to Russian reinfocements, but
weather conditions may also have had
a share in hating the Germans
In connection with reports Of the
possibility OF a German attack on
Switzerland, General Maurice declared
that for such an operation the Ger
mans would be compelled to weaken

dispatch quotes Petrograd reports that
tho Germans are evacuating Braila'
There is no confirmation Of this state
ment in either the Russian or the Ger

IL is apparent, however, that the OF
fensive remains with the reorganized
Russo-Rumanian armies. Berlin does
not claim a foot OF advance on any
mart of the front, and admits that the
Russians continue their fierce attacks
in the Moldavian mountain valleys. Inc
Germans assert that they nave repulsed
these attacks, but Petrograd says that
the Rumanians surrounded the Ger
nans on one height southwest OF
Fralea and captured "a great NUMBER
Of prisoners" together with four ma
chine guns.
Two German attacks against heights
in the 0ituz and Casin valleys broke
down under the defenders artillery

Government Issues Emphatic Denial
of Report that it is Going to Com

Washington, D. C.-There is no truth
in a widely circulated statement that
the Government expects to take food
supplies from any family. Both the
Food Administration and the Depart
ment of Agriculture join in a state
ment to counterfeit what seems to be
a deliberate propaganda to the effect
that the Government intends to take
from every family all canned goods
put up in excess of 100 quarts.
This is only oine of the variations
of the rumOr, which has been widely
circulated. Another statement is that
the Government has been urging the
canning, drying and preserving
of fruits and vegetables so that they
will be in a convenient form for the
Government to handle and transport
when it takes them away from the
people. Further elaboration is that
these goods are to be taken away
from American homes and shipped to
England.
In one instance a motodist stopped
at farmhouse to fill the radiator OF
his automobile. In the course of con-
versation he casually inquired whether
the farmers family was canning all
