Peace Without Annexations
and Without Indemnities,
Is Keynote of Russian
Peace Terms
EMPEROR MAY co
TO BREST-LITVOSK
Teutons Score Point in Sc
lection of Kuehlmann,
Former Foreign Secre-
tary, as Chairman

Peace without anneXations and
without indemnities, the formula
adopted by the German Reichstag
the keynote of the Russian peace
terms now being discussed at Brest
Iitvosk. The Russian terms have
been submitted to the representa-
tives of the central powers who have
them under consideration.
No compulsory annexation of ter
ritory seized during the war and inn
mediate evacuation of it and no con-
tributions to be required from bellig-
erent countries are proposed by Rus
sia. This is similar to the Reichstag
resolution, which, however, was not
accepted by DR.. Michaelis, who was
then German imperial chancellor.
Russia also suggests that countries
deprived of their independence dur
ing the war be reinstated and that
national groups not independent be-
fore shall decide their status by a
referendum.
Germany scored a point in the Sc
lection of DIR. Won Kuehlmann, her
foreign secretary, as permanent
Hldil VI lllt Isll-
peror William, it is reported unoffi-
Cially, intends to go to Brest-Litosk
if the diplomats now there arrive at
an agreement, to atteInp, 20 assem-
bic all European rulers in a peace
conference. The German ruler is
said to have declared that everybody
wants peace.
Raids and local attacks have been
carried out in the Ypres and Ver-
dun sectors on the western front.
The Germans gained slightly in To-
cal attack on the Ypres-Staden rail-
way, but at all other points on both
the British and French fronts they
were repulsed. The artillery has
been most active in the Ypres and
Nerdun sectors.
General Allenby has begun sue
cessfully an advance along the Medi-
terranean coast north of Jaffa, Pal
estine. After crossing the Nahr FL
Auja, his troops reached the Plain
of Sharon and captured ten towns
near the Nahr FL Auja.
General Sarrial, who has been in
command of the allied armies on the
Macedonian front for the past two
years, has been recalled by the
French government. He will be sue
ceeded by General Guillaumat, who
commanded the French forces in
their brilliant stroke northeast of
Nerdun last summer.

Bakers Testimony Will

Washington, Dec. 24.-Testimony of
Secretary Baker and commanders of

the Senate committee investigating
the military situation will, in the
belief of administration officials,
throw an entirely different light on

Will Tag Every U. S.
Coal Shovel in Effort

Washington, d. c., Dec. "a
Every household in the land; from
the White House to the most hum
bic cottage, is to have its coal shovel
tagged with wartime economy hints
on Wednesday, January 81.
The fuel administration an
nounced last night that the services
of the twenty-three million odd
school children were enlisted fo-
the task, and that all state and mu-
nicipal authorities and teachers
would be asked to unite in making
the day a national school holiday.
The tags will suggest ,"save that

Graspers
MANY 100 PER CENTERS
City's Record Is Best in State,
Despite Few Hun
Supporters

Black crosses for those who do not
want to display Red Crosses!
The suggestion is that of J. Horace
Mcfarland, who called the Telegraph
this morning to make a suggestion:
My printing company" said Mr..
Mcfarland, stands ready to print
free of charge the number of black
crosses necessary to put one in the
window of each home which does not
care to exhibit a Red Cross.
Don't misunderstood me. I mean
the home of folks who, as William
Jennings points out, lack patriotism
and "A heart. I appreciated the fact
that there are those who cannot af-
ford a membership. But there are
those who can afford it who are care
lessly indifferent and who, conse-
quently, may have the courage of
their convictions and display black
cross. For these folks our printing
company stands ready to turn out
black crosses free of charge"
The black cross will be of de-
sign similar to the notorious iron
cross.
The Mcfarland printery is a hun
dred per cent. firm, every employe
being a Red Cross member-and the
dog and cat, too.
Mercer B. Tate, of the campaign
committee, to-day. asked every mem
Der of every campaign committee to

Harrisburg, relaxing from the long

stretch Its legs under the dining table

There was no camoufiage about it,
Momentous crisis though it be, and
high as the gobbler scars in price, it
promised to be a merry Christmas,
with observance of the old sweet
traditions.
The arrival of hundreds of boys in
the uniform of Army or Navy from

a bright dash of color and action to
the city, and served to remind all
that the big sacrifice has not yet
been made. But the Sammies and
