Note Declared Insulting and
CaIumniatlng.

BERLIN, Jan. 3-The reply Of the
entente to the peace proposals Of the
central powers is discussed at great
kngth this morning by the newspapers
which base their remarks on the unoi-
Hcisl press version Of the note as re-
ceived here from French sources. The
newspapers are unanimous In saying the
answer OF tic entente is only what was
sxp0eted in view OF the utteranccs OF
6tntesmen OF the hostile nations.
Belgian Section for Americans
The opinion is expressed that the note
was addressed less 10 the central pow
ers than to the people of the entente
countries and to neutrals, hence the
strong declamatory language calcu-
lated, according to the German opinion
further to inflame passions against the
Teutonic allies. In particular It is de
clsred, the section devoted to Belgium
10 intended expressly for the American
people.
w in Berlin the note is regarded as the
stiffest and most brusoue possible and
to be couched in insulting and calum-
mating terms never before seen in an
International document All the news
papers agiec that the only terms the
central powers can give is with the
sword; that the war must be continued

Speaker Nesbitt appealed to the mem
bers in his speech of acceptance that
they conduct themselves during the leg
islativc term as their position demanded
TOO often in the past" the speaker
said. members Of this body have not
conducted themselves as they should.
Remember that you are the represent
atives Of the best men and, women in
the country, and let your conduct while

Railway Revenues
Decrease Slightly

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5-A slight de-
crease in the railroad net operating
revenue for November. the first in more
than two years, is indicated by prelim-
mary statistics made public today by
the interstate commerce commission.
The first fifty-five roads to report
showed falling off of a little more
than million dollars, but it is at
tributed to the liberal policy OF expen-
di,ure which accompanies the increase
in business. Officials believe the indi-
Gated crop for November will not alter
the provisions for a billion lc liar year.

peace.
Feeble Show OF Optimism.
Only few newspapers see even a
faint hope that peace still may be at
tainable within a reasonable time
Curiously enough the supernationalist
Par German Taeglische Rundschau
maintains a feeble show of optimism
saying:
The thought of peace is not qucnched
by this rejection"
But even this utterance is quail
fled by the explanation that peace car
come only through failure of the en-
tentc plans Of conquest and the crush
ing of Germany. The Tagcbla,t alsc
believes the idea OF peace still retains
its vitality, saying:
Even though the attempt be mad,
to bury il under a thousand arguments
peace will continue to rise up mightier
than ever after every failure to achiev,
expected victory"

desperate fight preceding the murder, +"
the captain said 1T is evident. in any
event that the fight did not last long,
because the janitor's wife and persons
living directly opposite her apartments

One Of the theories discounted by the
police was that the murder might have
been result OF an attempt to blackmail
one OF Miss ColbeTt's admirers.
