 ATTERMS OF PEACE
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

Great Britain and France, respec- lively, through their prime minister and minister of foreign affairs. have made known to the world that the terms under which the Teutonic allies seek a general peace are not sufficient. And backing their prime minister the British proletariat represented by a national labor conference has re-af- firmed, without equiYocation, that it is the determination of labor to con- tinue the war in order hereafter to make the world safe for democracy.
 Fortified by the known attitude of President Wilson as to the require ments of the United States if the war is to end and a peace concluded, the utterances Of Premier Lloyd George and Foreign Minister Pichon and the almost unanimous sentiment of the British workers seemingly make cer- tain that the Teutonic allied proffer given in reply to the Russian Bolshe- wiki proposals, will go for naught un- less it is materially added to and brought into line with the demands that the United States and the entente allies have laid down as the concrete basis for the discussion of peace. Nevertheless the Bolsheviki in Rus sia apparently have not lost heart that something may come from the Czernir proposal, for the t-LitOvsk peace conference at which it was made has taken a recess until January 4. and meanwhile Trotzky, the Bolshevik | foreign minister, purposes to send 6 note to the entente allied embassies il an endeavor to have them participate in further peace parleys, and also il | drafting note to the peoples of tho I world.
 Inside Russia the situation still re. mains obscure owing to the variou: reports concerning the movements O the Bolsheviki and counter revolution ary forces. One of these reports is tt the effect that an armistice betweel the Kaledines and Bolsheviki troop has been effected at Rostov- on-Dol with a central zone between the fight ing lines Kaledines and his cossack were among the first of the Russian counter revolutionaries to take up arm against the Bolsheviki.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Food Ad- ministrator Hoover, now in New York, was requested by telegraph tonight to appear next Wednesday before the senate committee Investigating the sugar situation. The telegram was sent by Chairman Reed after the committee had considered in eXecu- tive session whether a subpoena should be issued for the food admin istrator, who had been advised last Saturday that the committee expected to hear him today. Last week when MT. Hoover made several futile att tempts to get hearing before the committee it was said he was delay ing an important business "trip to New York. Since then his statement on the sugar situation has been made public by the, Whjte House and when the committee xfet this morning there was d letter from counsel for the food administration, saying the ad ministrator had been called to New York and would be there several days.
 In announcing the telegraphic TO- quest, Senator Reed referred to criti-
  and said that the witnesses examined had been selected at random. So far he said two witnesses had been heard favoring the food administra- tion and one opposing it.
 We intended to go ahead with MT Hoover on Saturday." he added, 'bu there appeared that day a large num- Der of western beet men, here il Washington on another matter, wh' wished to be heard so they nigh return to their homes. It was an ac of common decency to hear them i'm mediately."
 With no other sugar witnesse available, the committee again too up the coal investigation with w. F Colver of the federal trade commis sion, as a witness.

Wilson Not Likely to Make
 Further War Aim Statement

It is fully understood in Washington that there may be internal reasons in entente countries for making some con sessions to certain powerful political elements which are pressing for an other statement of the entente's war aims. These considerations will be weighed and acted upon in the discre- tion of the governments of those countries.
 The decision involved is regarded as of great importance because of the possibility that divergent statements might afford the German piotters op- portunity to weaken the ties that bind the allies together.

I. ". ". Quarters NOW In HUnds of
 Federal Officers
TRepubIican A. P. Leased Wirel

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Dec. 2S.-Fed eral authorities took charge of the In- dustrial Workers of the World head quarters here today and began a search for evidence in connection with the investigation of an alleged dyna- hitting conspiracy being conducted as result of the arrest Saturday of Will liam Hood and G. F. Noetter. charged with unlawfully transporting dynamite, and forty eight other alleged members of the organization.
 No action has been taken by the federal officers in regard to a demand for the payment of S50,000 under threat made in a letter received by Governor William D. Stephens, whose home was dynamited December IT.
 A majority of the alleged I. w. W. prisoners probably will be released according to- Don Rathbun, special agent of the department of justice. He said an examination today of the evil dence seized by the police in a raid on the headquarters of the organiza- tion had failed to reveal anything that would justify placing formal charges against the men.

ALLIES MUST AGREE
 BEFORE NEW PEACE
 STATEMENT ISSUES
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

LONDON, Dec. 2S.-Premier Lloyd George in letter which he sent today to the special national labor confer ence declared:
 Achievement of the purposes for which the allies are fighting is esse- ntial to the future freedom and peace of mankind"
 The premier also asserted that statement on war aims could be made only in agreement with Great Britains allies. The question of issuing a fresh joint declaration, he added, was being constantly kept in view by the entente allied governments.
 The premierS statement is regarded as the British reply to the German peace offer.
 The labor conference was convened here today by the parliamentary com mittee of the Trades Union Congress and the executive of the labor party in the central hall at Westminster to con- slider memorandum on war aims" A pronunciamento was adopted, with a virtually unanimous show of hands, declaring that in continuing the war, labor is actuated by determination to make the world safe for democracy. No sympathy was expressed in the text of the statement with attempts to convert the war into, one of conquest but it in sisted that restitution and reparation, and also certain territorial readjusu- ments are necessary if the renewal of armaments and war is to be avoided.
 The conference was attended by 75O delegates, and was expected to place on record an expression of opinion from British labor on the war aims of this country. Its adoption of the mem orandum is considered especially sig nificant in view of the peace negoti- ations between Germany and Russia.
 The statement placed at the fore front a demand for the resolution and rehabilitation of Belgium at the ex- pense of Germany. It also dealt with | Alsace- -LoTain, Italy, the Balkans, Po- land, Turkey and German African col opieS on lines similar to those sug. gested i'll earlier documents on these subjects.
 | The original memorandum was dis. 1 cussed and adopted early in August al a special conference of the Labor Party and was a sequel to the abortiv, Stockholm conference of last summer Its terms have since been considerably amended by various sub-committees 1 put the main features had been re, tained in the memorandum discussed today.
 After the formal opening of the con ference d letter from David Lloyt George. the British prime minister was read. After thanking the confer ence for a resolution of the parliamen tary committee of the trades uniol congress and the national committee o labor, which partly suggested tha Great Britain make a declaration O the war aims of the entente, the lette said:
 "A statement in regard to the wa aims of the allies can, of course, onl be made in agreement with the othe nations who are fighting in alliance to gether in the war. The question of is suing a fresh joint declaration on thi subject is one which is constantly kep in view by the allied governments, bu 1t is not one about which it is possibl for the British government to speak b itself.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-America's war aims are regarded by the admin istration as having been sufficiently disclosed in President Wilson's reply to the pope's last peace proposal and in his recent message to congress. Conse-i quently unless there are further devel- opments in the peace propaganda set afoot by the Germans and Austrians through their negotiations with the Russian Bolsheviki, there is no inten- tion on the part of the United States government to attempt to elaborate or expound the statements of American purpose laid down in those documents.

STOCKHOLM, Dec. 2S.-An Ameri- can diplomatic courier on his way to Petrograd has been refused admis- sion to Russia on the ground that his pass had not been vised by NJ. Bo- rovsky, the Bolshevik minister at Stockholm This is the first time that a regular courier's pass has not been honored.
 It is assumed here that the Bol- sheviki hope in this way to exert pressure and compel the indirect recognition of their foreign repre- sentatives.

These engines of war make it one of
two things for the enemy where they

For the American forces it was

INTERESTING ATLANTA.

I'm ltNS - LAW ~
It is not political jealousy that it
makes us speak out in a protest
against the eternal efforts of Atlanta
to grab every state Office of value.
Any person who has given the mat
ter moments attention ought to
be able to see the eagerness with
which some Of the Atlanta politicians
are at work at present trying to de-
velop another senatorial possibility
in order thai the whole thing may be
taken in.
1t is net fair to Governor Dorsey
that such an early effort be made to
put him into this race for the office
Senator Hardwick viii have to give
up. 1t may be that the newspaper
reporters are at work overtime and
simply have made more Of Governor
Dorsey as candidate than should be
made at this or any other time soon.
He has remained quiet ct least. but
if he is considering the matter in ser
Gus manner, it is largely because Az
Iantians, wanting the Office to come
% that city, have told him that he
can make il over.
We have no specialc desire to
throw Geld water on Governor Dor
seys desire to be Senator, il he enter
aims such desire at this time. Some
day such ambition might be proper,
but he ought to remain governor for
At least enough time to show a bit of
appreciation of what the Anti-Franks.

ties did fer him when he was running

Gambler isn't possibility of the
least little bit of strength. He could
not win the office, yet some of his
Atlanta friends are trying to shoot
him into the race. 1t would not get
him anything but a lot of worry and
disappointment, He might help Hard
wick get little nearer to the Office
again,-but we doubt that. The At
lanta effort to put Gambler in the
race is but another example of how
Atlanta works it.
There isn't but one man this state
ought tC send out after Hardwick's
place. He is Bill Harris. But it is
coming to be such a common thing
to announce for United States sena-
tor that it is very likely that there
will be more of them before we get
along much further.
And who is going to see that the
thing is all conferred in one man to
defeat Hardwick? Those who. think
anything of the effort to keep Hard
wick from going back ought to be
busy. The delay means more candi
dates and as each one enters Hard.

FARMERS, DON'T FORGET!

Those who knew the scarcity of sy

around. There isn't enough home

county this season to run our own
needs through a month.
AsQf course, there has been cause
uther4st han simple careless, neglect,
for the seasons for making cane this
time have all been against the grow
efs.~ There has been little far too lit
tiesrain, but there has also been far
too much neglect of cane growing.
Some of us ought to remember
that it is now in mid-season almost
impossible to buy syrup of our own
making here at home. 1t isn't here.
1t ought not to be necessary to argue
about cane growing. Let our farm
ers remember this present scarcity
and make more cane for the home
use.
