N0RWAY'S SHIPPING
LOSSES ENORMOUS

Washington, Jan. 13.-Heavy losses
to Norwegian shipping have prompted
maritime interests to petition the gov
eminent to suspend extra shipping
taxes to preserve the industry.
Consular advices to the department
of commerce reported that 1s2 steam
ers and sixty sailing vessels with an
insurance value Of 33s.o00.ooo had
been sunk since the war began.
Losses recently have been SO heavy
that the War Insurance club, with
which vessels are insured, faces q &c.,
100000 deficit aald is on the point of
adding materially to existing rates.
The club Is run on mutual lines and
its rates are figured solely to cover
losses of its members.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE entente
reply to President Wilson's peace note
is regarded in all quarters here Is
putting an early peace practically out
Of the question, but still leaving an
open door for the president to make
further efforts.
The official view on first considera.
ton is that it constitutes q complete
answer to the presidents note.
German diplomats regard the reply
rs even more severe than they ex-
pected.
They declared it evident that the
enemies Of Germany are waging war
of conquest to crush and dismember
her. The Germanic allies, they de.
clare, never would agree to any such
terms.
The German note to neutrals, pub.
lished simultaneously with the entente
reply, came as distinct surprise.
It promptly was characterised by
the entente diplomats 90 . carefully
prepared and timed address to the
world calculated to Offset the entente
statement of aims and purposes.
Next Move Up to Wilson.
President Wilson's next move now
becomes the center Of attention.
1t will not be decided upon until
careful and detailed study Of the re.
plies of both the Central powers and
the entente has been made.
Several courses are open to the
president. He may inform each side
of the others reply and in doing SO
may forward the documents without
comment, or with some expression to
advance the situation to the point OF
another exchange.
He may begin series Of confiden-
tial negotiations either through the
e. Hassadors here or through the am
b; foreign capitals.
,se his next step not
v~or TX - me, but upon an es.
IT,. g. 49,. -.tion in the belliger.
ent cou:.,.-.J.
Nothing as been decided and moth
inE will be decided without the most
deliberate and mature consideration.
It is expected the curtain of secrecy
will be drawn on the next move.
The entente statement of terms Is
regarded as presenting a legitimate
opportunity for the president to take
another step II he chooses to do 80.

Although every legislative assembly
for many years has opened with the
promise Of the governor and the chief
officers of the two houses that there
is no necessity to remain in session
for the customary 80 days, and then
have straightway forgotten to COM
plete their work inside that time,
there is considerable chance that the
present assembly will attain the long
sought and often proclaimed distinc-
ton. Both Speaker Pitt and Lieuten-
ant Governor Moore have declared
that the work Of the law makers can
be done and done we'll in 20 days.
Governor Harding in his inaugural ad-
dress also expressed his belief that
the members of the two houses could
accomplish all that was needful and
return to their constituents at the end
of 70 days, and be blessed for 80

Liquor Fight is Finished.
Senator N. J. Schrup, of Dubuque,
who is the dean of the upper body of
the general assembly in point of years
Of service, and who is democratic, and
formerly designated as "wet," says
the liquor interests have finished their
fight in Iowa, and will have, as far as
he knows, no special concern over
what the legislators may do this year.
He also denies the report that the
brewers of the state expect to ask for
the introduction of bill which will
permit them to open their breweries
in order that they may compete with
outside concerns permitted to ship
their product to Iowa.

The deck cargo of the Brit

last night and only the
quick and courageous work
of a Halifax company of

flames before they could

vessel was taken to sea to-

After the Picton had

American War Secretary
Warns of Crisis Con-
fronting Allies
THRUST BY ENEMY
MUST BE EXPECTED
"Not Enough To Prepare
To. Fight; Must Pre-
pare. to Win"

Washington, Dec. 10. - Germany
has massed. on the western front
her greatest army Of the war, Secre-
tary Baker declares in his weekly
war review made public today. To
meet this menace the United States
must speed up its military prepare
tions. the secretary adds, with q
warning that the enemy is preparing
to put into execution in France plans
he has been maturing since the de-
feat Of the Russian armies at
Tannenberg early in the war. The
peace negotiations with Russia have
permitted the massing OF men on the
western front for that purpose.
The united nation must stand
squarely behind our soldiers" the
secretary says. 'It Is not SUFFICIENT
to prepare to fight; we must prepare
to win."
The review asserts the German
counter offensive on the Cambria
front has been successful in winning
back less than one-third of the terri
tory captured by General Byng.
The statement also notes that Am
erican engineer troops. Exchanging
enemy side by side with the Brit
ish."
The lesson OF the German exhibi-
ton Of strength is then taken up:
This German PAIRING thrust, the
most powerful and successful blow
aimed at the British during the last
two and one-half years, coming as Il
did Immediately after the British
victory in the same area. serves TO
emphasize the reviving strength of
the Germans In the west.
Great Change in West.
I'VE must recognize plainly that
the situation in the eastern theater
has brought about a very decided
change in the strategic possibilities
of the military situation in the
west.
Germany by leaving only skeleton
divisions in the Russian area by con-
centrating all available guns, muni-
tions and men in the west has been
able to mass a relatively greater
force than she has ever been able to
mobilize in France in the past.
This explains the success which
the enemy was able to achieve In
driving the British back from Cam
braf. It would not do for us TO
minimize its importance.
For a long time past he has been
preparing his plans for just such an
eventuality as would arise when
Russia should enter upon negotia-
tions for g separate peace. which has
been a principal German objective
ever since the battle OF Tannen-
berg.

The capture OF Jerusalem by the
British forces marks the end, with
two brief interludes, of more than
1900 years possession of the seat
Of the Christian religion by the Mo-
hammedans. For 673 years the Holy

of the Turks, the last Christian ruler
of Jerusalem being the German en-
