WAR WILL CONTINUE
KING GEORGE DECLARES FOR
PROSECUTION OF CONFLICT.
Bonar Law Says Statement Cannot
Be Given to Commons at
Present.

London, Dec. 26.-Parliament was
prorogued by King George until Feb
ruary Z. In the address from the
throne proroguing parliament King
George declares that "the vigorous
prosecution Of the war" would be the
! single aim of England until the secur-
| ity of Europe had been established. He
indicated that peace is not yet in sight.
I The kings address follows:
4 "The vigorous prosecution of the war
Nnust be our single endeavor until we
pave yindicated the right so ruthlessly
violated by our enemies and have es-
tablished the security of Europe on
sure foundation. am confident that
we shall finally achieve the victorious
confirmation of the aims for which we
entered the war"
An Exchange. Telegraph dispatch
from The Hague says it is announced
semioff1cially that should the entente
allies in their reply to the peace pro-
posals of the central powers leave the
door open for negotiations Germany
will make known her chief peace terms
Immediately.
The British government will make
no statement at the present in regard
to President Wilson's peace note, con-
it question that can be dealt
with only in communication with the
other members of the entente.
Mr. Law was asked whether a state
ment would be made regarding the
American note. He replied:
SIT must be obvious to the house |
that this is a question that only can
be dealt with in communication with
our allies and that it is absolutely i'm
possible to make a statement now"

BIG YEAR FOR ROADS
GREATEST PROSPERITY EVER
KNOWN FOR CARRIERS.
Eastern Roads Show the Largest
Profits in Record of Over
Billion Earned.

Washington, Dec. 27.-More than
81 900, 100000 net income from opera
! tons was made by the railroads of
the country during the year now clos
ing. The huge total is the peak of
prosperity in railroad operations, and
stands more than one-third higher than
the total of 1913, hitherto the banner
year.
Statistics gathered by the interstate
commerce commission complete for
nine months and made the basis for
circulation for the entire year, indi-
cate that the total net income from
operations will be approximately ST.
99,O00,O00. For the first nine months
of the year complete returns show
S7S5, 55S, 266. Even this does not rep
resent the full amount, as roads whose
income is less than $1,000,000 are not
included.
Wide divergence in receipts among
the roads of various sections is dis
closed. The overburdened railroads
of the East have skinned the cream
of the traffic.

HIS PEACE TERMS TO PRESIDENT
WILSoN-THIS FACT is MADE

But Veil of Secrecy Must Be Tucked
In Tightly-Entente, However.
VIII Not State Its Aims.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington. = Continued agitation
by Germany for peace in the face OF
the apparently immovable opposition
Of the Entente Powers was accepted in
Washington as the most encouraging
development in the peace situation.
Count Won Bernstorff, the German Am
bassador, reiterated his declaration
that Germany is earnest and sincere
in her desire to end the war. Diplo-
matte Washington accepted this state
ment as indicating that the Central
Powers may be willing to go further
in indicating their definite peace aims
than they have heretofore. The Ger
man Embassy made it clear that
statement Of the terms proposed by
the Central Allies-in more or less
definite form-is now available to the
United States, under seal of secrecy.
Secretary Lansing declared that all
questions on this confidential" matter
were clearly improper and declined to
discuss it.

LOSS OF $15o,ooo,ooo OIL FIELD.

Misunderstanding at meeting Of
the Roumanian Consolidated Oil
Fields, William w. Rutherford, mem
Der of Parliament from Liverpool, said
that probably the value of the oil fields
destroyed by the allies in the Rou-
manian retreat amounted to $15O,OOO,-
000 1t was a wholesale destruction,
he remarked, carried on by a British
military mission acting under the in
struction Of headquarters. This work,
he added, rendered the property and
the stock utterly useless to the foe.
The oil wells of German companies
met similar fate, he said.

Boston, Dec. 2S.-The presence on

known officially as commerce protec-

arrival recently in American waters

GERMANY SENDS FRIENDLY RE-
PLY TO PRESIDENT WILL
SONS NOTE.
URGES CONFERENCE AT ONCE
Note Praises U. S. Suggestion and
Reiterates Request for Meeting Of
BelIigerents as First Step Toward
Ending War-Faiis to Give Terms.

Berlin, via Sayville wireless, Dec
2S.-The reply of the German allies
to the peace note of President Wilson
was given to Ambassador Gerard. II
failed to name any peace terms.
The reply was in the form of joint
note, handed to the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of the United States in Vi
emma, Sofia and Constantinople, as
well as in Berlin. Announcement that
the German allies had answered the
American note was made through the
Overseas News agency.
The reply states that the imperial
government considered President Will
sons note in friendly manner, but
that "in the opinion Of the German
government that great work-the pre-
ventiOn of future wars-can be begun
only after the end of the present strug-
GLE"
When the time comes, says the an
swer, the German government will be
ready with pleasure to collaborate
with the United States.
The reply renews the offer made by
Chancellor Won Bethmann-Hollweg on
December q, to enter Immediately
into a peace conference.
The statement given out through the
Central News agency says:
"The text Of the answer to President
Wilson'S note was transmitted in
Berlin to James w. Gerard, the
United States ambassador, and also in
Vienna, Sofia and Constantinople to
the American representatives.
ITO the imperial government an i'm
mediate exchange of views seems
the most appropriate road in order to |
reach the desired result The reply
says:
The high-minded suggestion made
by the president of the United States
of America to create a basis for the
of a lasting ueace has
been received and considered by the
imperial government in the friendly
spirit expressed in the presidents COM
The president points out that
which he has at heart and leaves open
the choice Of the road.
" 1T therefore begs, in the sense of
he declaration made on December -, :
Which offered the hand of peace ne
sotiations to propose Immediately a !,
meeting of the belligerent states at '
ome neutral place. !.
Also, the imperial government is ,
IT the opinion that the great work of J.
prevention of future wars can be be-
run only after the present struggle of !
lations. 1t will, when this moment
hall have come, be ready with pleas :
Ire to collaborate entirely with the
United States at this exalted task"
The answer finishes with the usual
erms of diplomatic etiquette
