U. s..FLgET READY FOR WINTER.
Ships and Men Equipped For Cold
Days Ahead.

days Ahead.
tCcrrespon Sence OF Associated Press ]
R4se OF American F1otilla in British
Waters. oSs S.-AI American des-
troyers and men are now prepared for
the wi9ter.s
= Both have been equipped for the
cold days ahead. The issue Of winter
clothing to the men has taken place
and the fast little ships have been
thoroughly overhauled and have had
several "gadgets'' added to their equip
ment such as gun shields for the men
operating the guns, non-breal able
glass windows for the bridges, more
crows nests and extra life RATS.
Thanks to the busy women at home
who knit, many Of the men have been
porvided with excellent sweaters, jer-
seys and socks. Now, however. an en-
-tirely new issue Of extra heavy gar
ments, designed by the British from
their long experience on torpedo boats
in the terrible weather Of this coast,
have been made. Here are some Of the
things which, when donned will make
the men look more like Arctic explor-
ers than bluejackets:
Helmets made Of wool a. covering
all but the eyes, nos nth; light
coat sweaters. jerses cardigan
Jackets, knitted mittens ~id gloves;
extra heavy coarse. underclothing,
light weight woolen socks, and knee
length knitted stockings, besides heavy
knitted socks FOR boots; extra heavy
seaboots, wind proof khaki-colored
trousers: great coats lined with lambs
wool, and knitted muniers.
Face Winter cheerfuliy.
Over this clothing officers and men
will continue to wear their life jackets
made in vest form. These vests, in
addition to their life saving properties,
are very warm. Pillows and mattresses
on board their ship are made Of the
same material. The men also had OIL
skins when they came over.
The men face the coming hardshlps
,cheerfully. All they ask is that the
folks at home do not forget them while
they are facing the perils OF hghtlns
the submarine under the vastly new
conditions Of winter. Few OF them
have cruised in the gales that are pc
culiar to this coast, when sleet squalls
are hourly affairs. %
AS to whether the winds aid or hln-
der the U-boats is aSnatter Of divided
opinion among those. in the British
service who have had the experience
of three winters. 1t is said that
comparison Of the figures will show
that there is not a great deal Of differ-
ence in shipping losses between the
summer and winter seasons.
.The long. sumnaer days which permit
the U-boats to work long hours also
help the destroyers, to detect them.
The long dark winter. days help the
submarines to reach their prey without
detection and also aid in their escape.

Russian Farley as
Way to World Peace

AMSTERDAM, Dee. 27.--The Berlin

"Vossische Zeitung' says:
The result SO far is an agreement
in principle on those questions calcu-
lated 20 form the outlines of a future
peace. II is Of the greatest importance
that this fact be noted .y the Russian
negotiators themselves. The most dem
ocratlc government in the world mas
thereby given testimony that the Cen
trail powers peace policy is entirely
free Of all lust of conquest, all striv-
ing after violence"
The "Tageblatt" says: Even now it
is question whether those who are
ready for peace will overthrow the wall
directed and continually strengthened
by Chsuvinists. Meanwhile nothing
can so contribute TO shake the wall OF
arms rs this new public diplomacy"
The "Norwserts" says: The German
government will have seriously 20 con-
slider whether further negotiations are
possible on the basis Of the Russian
programme, with due regard 10 the
preservation Of the vital interests OF
the people. The Russian peace pro-
grsmne is framed In such theoretical

concrete points In the contention cam

Socialists Demand
Freedom for Seventeen
Nations in Austria
TStnf CorresDOndenceT

WASHINGTON, Dec. ga diplo-
matte dispatch received here to-day
says the German Austrian Socialists Of
Austria have met in congress and
passed resolution in favor of trans
forming Austria into state Of fed
Grated nationalities.
The foundation of the new project,
according TO the resolutions, would be
the abolition of the seventeen provinces
or crownlands and the substitution
therefor of district (kreis) autonomy.
There is q vague reference in the reso-
lutions TO the Dual system, which, they
declare, must not be allowed to stand in
the way Of reforms. but otherwise no
attempt is made &c face the funda-
mental difficulty that none OF the nom
German races. theN Socialists included,
will accent any scheme which does not
break down the Duslist barrier and
unite the racial fragments which it
keeps artificially apart
The report asserts that it is none the
less a serious proposal. by the Austri-
an-German Socialists. based upon the
profound studies OF Karl Renner and
Otto Bauer. and is honestly meant by
the promoters.
The Czech Socialists have reorganized
their party, the report states, and deR
nitely adopted the programme Of Czech
Slovak independence as their own. The
Czech leader, DR.. Kramer, who cnn now
claim, says the report, 70 have all
Czech parties behind him, has publicly
repudiated the suggestion that the ma
ton shall accept Lesser programme.

Germany Aimed at
PotDer in East Africa,
Says Cologne Paper

OTTAWA, Dec. PA London dis
patch to the Reuter- agency here says:
an an article entitled THE World Po-
litical Importance of German East
Africa the Cologne Gazette frankly
confesses that Germany has for years
aimed at the creation of German
wedge dividing Africa from sea to sea.
Although Germany, in 1911, by treaty
with France, apparently made final re-
nunciation Of the idea of great
colonial empire, she really aimed at the
creation Of German-Belgian economic
area in the Congo Basin from the
Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Thus,
when the war commenced, Germany
was deliberately exploiting her ineom-
parable geographical position in East
Africa
The Gazette" says this position CON
stituted ''wedge between the English
claims TO sole domination in East
Africa and South Africa-a dividing
ard immovable wedge"
"All our wishes will be realized" the
paper continues, "only if by our battles
in Europe we can compel England to
recognize us as an equal colonial
mower"

Paris Paper Calls
Peace Conditions

PARIS, Dec. 27.-The Temps" ap-
pends to the text Of the reply of the
Central Powers to the Msximaist dele
gates this note:
"The conditions formulated by the
Central Powers are in the domain Of
generalities, and one is somewhat sur
prised that the MaXimalists have net
sought to obtain Immediately more or
less exact declarations upon the points
which touch Russian interests closely
How does the German government and
its allies intend to treat Poland, Llth-
uania and Courland, countries which
have not lost their political indepen-
dence during this war, but which have,
nevertheless, the right to indepen-
dence?
How is remuneration of all 'appropri-
alton by force to be reconciled with
the ambitions distinctly affirmed by
Bulgaria to Serbian, Greek and Ru-
manian territories? How will the res
toration Of Armenia TO the Turks be
compatible with the rights of the Ar
menians?
at would be all the more interesting
TO know these points, as thereby the
sincerity of Germany's intention TO re-
store Belgium's independence could be
appreciated"

LONDON, Dec. 15.--Great Britain
will not repudiate her war debt, de-
clsres A. Bonar Law, the Chancellor OF
the Exchequer. in an open letter which
he has caused to be published and in
which he denounces rumors that the
country would fail 20 meet some Of the
liabilities incurred in the war. In his
letter, the Chancellor states:
81 am glad to have an opportunity Of
dealing with the rumors that are, ]
find, current throughout the country
with regard to the possibility of the
government repudIating its liabilities.
Will Not Break Faith
81 should like to state as strongly as
I can that, in my opinion, no British
government, present and future, will
seek to break faith with those who
have placed their financial resources
at the disposal of the state in this
crisis of its history. Such q policy
would not only mean that the govern
the hands Of men who were blind TO all
considerations of national honor, but
would, to my mind. involve the over
throw of any government that adopted
it.
"The reputation o. state liabilities
would. in my judgment, be as disastrous
as it would be dIshonorabe. Nothing
after the war will be more important
than TO preserve and buttress the fabric
Of the national credit, and nothing
would so easily undermine 1t as the re-
fusal of the government to honor its
debts.
at would, indeed, be impossible for
a government which had destroyed its
credit b. repudiating its liabilities ever
20 borrow again should circumstance
arise in>which it was necessary to do
so. In short, reputation spells ma
tional dishonor and national disaster.
81 will only add this: Whatever be
the financial policy of the British gov
ornment after the war, | am certain or
this, that any discrimination there may
bo will not be in favor of those who
have withheld their money from the
state at a time when its needs were
greatest"

Angel Says People
Must Dictate Peace
Secret Diplomatic Settlement
Condemned by Noted Eng
lish Socialist

Norman Angel, the English worl d
peace advocate, last night urged that
the present system of international
diplomacy be thrown into the scrap
heap. He spoke before the Intercol-
legiate Socialist Society, meeting at
Palm Garden to discuss What Should
Be the Next Development in National
Policy?"
Mr.. Angel declared that this war to
make the world safe for democracy
will have been in vain if the peace
conference is to be composed Of dis
tinguished diplomats who will sit in Sc
cret and then hand out "that settlement
under which mankind is to live for
century or So"
The peace that i. TO be a lasting
peace, he said, will be the peace result
ing from parliament of the peoples
Of the earth, rather than a secret meet
ing of seasoned diplomats.
I'VE talk of mo peace with the
Kaiser and that is a good slogan
said Mr.. Angel. yet it is to that form
of settlement 10 which we are drifting.
In adhering TO the old diplomatic
methods we are playing the game Of
autocracy. The future relationships
must not be the relationships of for
eign Offices, but of peoples"
Frank Bohn, the Socialist author,
urged America to extend the public
ownership idea beyond the railroads
and into all industries vital to war.
Mr.. Bohn introduced himself as Ger
man. a member of the minority of the
German Social Democrats. He said that
he is constantly in touch with his party

bert de Mello, of this city, who was
reported among the missing when the
destroyer Jacob Jones was sunk by a

that the enlisted man from the Jacob

marine and made prisoner was your
son, Albert de Mello, seaman, second

will be secured later. The bureau con-
graduates you on the good news that
