SPURN BA|TED TRAP,
NOT PEACE, HE SAYS
LIoyd-George Declares War Is
Preferable to Prus-
sian Domination.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, January II. :03 pm
Premier Lloyd George. speaking in the
Guildhall this afternoon, said Emperor
William had told his people that the
entente allies had rejected his peace offer.
The emperor did se he said, to drug those
whom he could no longer dragon. I'VE
RAD rejected no peace terms" the premier
I'VE were not offered terms, but a trap
baited With fine words. 1t would suit Ger
many to have peace now on her own
terms. We all want peace. but it must
be a real one"
The premier said the allies were of
the opinion that War was preferab BILE
to Prussian domination over Europe.
The allies had made that clear. he
said. in their reply to Germany, and
clearer still in their reply to America.
Under No Delusions.
The Rome conference was under no
delusions. Mr.. Lloyd George continued.
as to the magnitude of the task Of the
allies. but felt no doubts as to the re-
suits The whole situation was probed.
the difficulties were faced and arrange
ments were made to deal with them.
All the allies felt. he declared. that IL
victory was difficult, defeat was i'm
possible.
The premier said that the grim reso-
luton of the entente allies at the re-
cent conference in Rome was that at all
costs they must achieve the high aim
which was before them when they ac-
cepted the challenge of the "Prussian
military caste" to rid the world for
ever OF it's menace and save Europe
from unspeakable despotism."
The premier said the navy had
strangied the commerce of Great
Britain's enemies and would continue to
do so. despite 'all piratical devices of
the enemy.
With proper support at hand. he con-
tinued. the armies would cleave the
road to victory during 1917
+ The best security for peace in future,
Mr.. Lloyd George said, would be OBJ
tanned when nations banded them
selves together to punish the peace
breaker.
The premier then turned to the uues-
ton of the German peace offer, saving:
'The kaiser sent out a message to his
people that the entente had rejected his
whom he had been unable to dragoon.
But where are actually the German
peace offers?
1.-THE allies asked for them. but the
Germans did not offer any terms They
offered only a trap, painted with fair
words. Such words tempted US once. but
the lion now has his eyes OPEN
1--WE have rejected no terms, but we
have seen that war is better than peace

their reply to Germany and still clearer

DEFICIT THREATENS
RAISE FOR CLERKS
Revenue Need Likely to Balk
All Salary Increases, But
Senators Will Fight.
LEGISLATIVE BILL SLASHED

There is grave danger that the in
creases in the pay of the federal en-
ployes provided by the House in the
legislative, executive and judicial ap-
propriation bill will be stricken out
by the subcommittee of the Senate ap-
preparations committee. it was learned
today.
The subcommittee held a meeting on
the bill today, and while the and 10
Der cent horizontal increases for en-
ployes receiving up to s1.S0O a year
were not reached. the probable action
OF the subcommittee was forecast.
The members of the subcommittee
have expressed themselves as heartily
in favor of increases for federal en-
ployes receiving low salaries. on ac-
count of the present high cost of liv-
ing. But the fact that sS00.00O.ooO
deficit is staring the Treasury in the
face. and that new methods OF raising
money to meet the government eXpen-
y ditures must be found. has hardened
them against any increases in salaries
al this time
ing OF the subcommittee. that consider
able progress had been made in con-
sideration of the legislative bill and
that great slashes in the proposed ap-
preparations already had been made by
the committee.
Hope in Full Committee.
After the subcommittee has completed
consideration of the bill. it must be
passed upon by the full committee be-
fore IL is reported to the Senate. and
1t is possible that the full committee
might overrule the subcommittee in the
the subcommittee strikes them out of
the bill
However. the subcommittee consider

chairman of the full committee; Over
man. Robinson, Bryan, Smoot and
oliver. and their judgment is likely to
influence strongly the action of the
full committee.
The probability is. it was said today.
that not only would the and 10 per
cent horizontal increases be stricken
from the bill by the Senate committee
out that every other proposed salary
OF other increase in the measure would
go out.
Caucus Backs Committee.
The democratic caucus of TIE Senate
went on record Monday night as being
willing to support the appropriations
committee in any steps it might take
looking toward economy of the govern
ment expenditures. Some of the sena-
tors. however. have said that they did
act intend to be bound by this caucus

ment in voting upon salary increases

Await Developments.
II. VI. McLarin- president of the Fed
eral Employees Union, said today that
he and other advocates Of the increases
In pay for the clerks were awaiting
developments. If the committee acts
adversely on the matter. he said. the
employees would do all they could to
have the Senate reverse the action Of
the committee when the bill comes up
for consideration
