TEUTONS DEMAND
WAR TO KNIFE"
Radical in Berlin Say Allies Do

Berlin (via Sayville wirless), Jan. =.
-"They do not want peace"
Such, briefly, was the impression
which Abe entente governments reply
to the central powers peace proifer
made upon the German press and pub
lie upon the arrival of the documents.
Talk of "War to Knife"
There seems no doubt that the en-
tente has hurled the gauntlet to the
central empires and their allies, flat
footedly rejecting the proposal to come
together and talk peace.
Already the leading military experts,
and particularly 'iirebrand' journal
lists, such as Count Ernst Zu Reyent-
low, are proclaiming war to The
knife" asserting that now, since the
allies have declared their determina-
ton not to accept peace by diplomacy,
they must be forced to accept peace
by the sword.
Sarcasm and irony feature the COM
ments of this element of the press.
The entente note is generally charac-
terized as "hypocritical" and as rare
collection of empty sophistries."
Allies Stand Ridiculed.
Bitter ridicule is expressed partic-
ularly upon that passage of the doc
ument which refers to small nation
alities," the case of Greece and the
interference with neutral mails and
commerce being held up as giving the
lie to the entente claims on this score.
The entente arraignment of "Prus-
sian miitarism" and alleged lust of
conquest Is met by references to the
avowed object of the entente to con-
quer ConstantinOple and the Darda-
nelles for Russia.
There is no denying that expecta-
tons of an early peace have dropped
to the minimum.

" TO friend: This is in payment
for an insult he gave me several
months ago. | am willing now to face

ARIZONA GOVERNOR
KEPT FROM OFFICE
Tom Campbell Barred From Chair
by Deputies.
CROWD IN AN ANGRY MOOD
Newly Elected Executive Makes In
auguraI Address, but Hunt Refuses
to Quit-Proceedings Started
to Gust Him. .

Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 2.-Forcing his
way through cheering thousands, sur
rounded by armed guards, Tom Camp
bell Arzona's new cowboy governor,
entered the capitol grounds shortly be-
fore IL O'Clock in the morning.
The capitol was locked. Campbell
demanded admission a caretaker
opened the portal few inches, and
Campbell, his attorneys and a few
newspaper men entered.
After completing an inaugural
speech in which he declared that the
ballot box must not become jug
gler's hat, he demanded admission to
the executive chambers, which were
guarded by deputy sheriffs. The of
ticers refused to open the door on the
ground that it was n legal holiday.
Crowd Gets Angry.
The crowd outside began to MUIR
muir, but was informed that law and
order must take its course.
Former Supreme Court Justice
Sloan, the last territorial governor, at
once filed mandamus proceedings in
the supreme court to Dust George w.
=. Hunt, former governor, who still
claims the governorship, from the
physical possession of the office.
Hunt left the building shortly be-
fore Campbell arrived. His secretary
remained in the Office behind locked
doors.
Several windows in the south wing
were broken during the night in spite
of heavy guard maintained.
Situation Still Tense.
Immediate danger of violence seems
to have passed, but the situation is
decidedly tense.
After Campbell entered the crowd
refused to leave the capitol grounds
and began to show an ugly tendency.
1--WE want Campbell" was the cry.
Former Territorial Governor Sloan
appeared on the portico of the capitol
and as the city attorney of Phoenix
urged restraint he told the crowd
what had occurred at the governors
office.
Deputy Sheriff Sam Barrett asked
for Il hearing. The crowd hooted.
A mob spirit was manfesting itself.
The Chief of police assembled his men.
Order of Sheriff.
Campbell appeared and asked the
crowd to hear Barrett. Barrett ex-
planned that he was acting under or
a Al,

Ladd. Ladd Is secretary to Hunt.
"Who is LaddY the crowd yelled.
I'VE want, Campbell"
There, was il concerted movement
toward the main entrance. Campbell

EXPLAIN PEACE NOTE
OFFICIALS TOLD
NEUTRALS TO ACT AT ONCE
Believed at the Capital the Doors Are
Still Open for Further
Peace Efforts.

Washington, Jan. Clearing up
the mystery surrounding the reported
dispatch of Il second peace note, the
state department allowed 1t to become
known that supplementary instruc-
tons were sent to representatives of
this government in neutral nations
suggesting that if neutrals had any
peace plans now was the appropriate
time to act
1t was denied that any other gov
eminent, either neutral or belligerent,
was consulted before the dispatch of
President Wilson's note. The United
States acted entirely on its own mi
tiative.
1t was explained by the department
that the instructions sent American
diplomats in neutral capitals We're en-
tirely informal. They were sent be-
cause officials believed similar action
by other neutrals would lend weight
to the action of the president.
The stand of the entente allies on
the Teutonic peace proposal and
SPANS refusal to back up the preSi-
dents efforts on the ground that the
time is not yet ripe are regarded here
as the most damaging blows yet dealt
the peace propaganda.
1t was stated that the reason the
presidents second note to neutral
countries was kept secret was that
just such action as that by Spain was
feared.
Ever since Chancellor Won Beth
mann-HOllwegg announced in the
reichstag that n proposal to discuss
peace had been sent, President Will
son and others have been on the
watch for strong backwash from
the wave of peace sentiment.
Study Of the note of the entente
powers, however, has convinced Off
Gals here that there are doors still
open for peace efforts, both by the
central powers and neutrals. Any
statement of terms by the Berlin
government and its allies, it is be-
| ieved, will result in n continuance
of the diplomatic exchange between
the belligerent leagues.
