ENTENTE TERMS
unite GERMANY
FOR BITTER WAR
Peace Party Gone, Nation
Looks to Vigorous Prose
cution of War.

Berlin, Jan. 18.--via London
Time enough having elapsed since the
publication of the Entente reply to
President Wilson to permit German
opinion to crystalline, the effects OF
the announcement of terms which the
Entente allies regard as a necessary
result OF the war are clearly evident.
In the first place the pronunciament
of the Allies, together with the earlier
interchanges of opinion on the peace
proposals, may be regarded as having
virtually eliminated the peace party
, in Germany except for a small mi
nority Of Socialists, some of whose
newspaper organizations still see the
possibility Of continuing the discus
sions after the Entente's repi--
The large and influential section,
including a majority of the Socialists
and powerful influences among non
Socialists, which up to last month
was bringing the heaviest pressure to
bear on the government to take steps
for the 'opening of negotiations for
peace based on an understanding is
now convinced such negotiations are
impossible.
Virtually the entire nation is lined
up behind the government for urgent
prosecution of the war. Regarding
The possibility that Germany would
make a statement of terms the an
nOuncement of Dr. Alfred thinner
mann, the foreign secretary, to the
Associated Press indicates that this
is now out of the question and the
government has now adopted this as
a definite decision. For some reason,
L
will not down that the government
will perhaps reconsider and make
some announcement of it's peace pro-
gram, particularly in regard to Bel
GUM and the remainder of the west
ern front, as it, has done already in
regard to Poland.
Whether the government will thus
change it's policy may, perhaps, de-
pend on the degree of enthusiasm
shown by the Poles in defending their
country.
Announcement of terms for restor-
alton Of Belgium and return of the
occupied provinces of France would
if issued, be made. for purposes Of
contrast with the program of the En-
tente, which, SO far as Germany is
concerned, is interpreted as meaning
annexation of Alsac and Lorraine, the
west bank Of the Rhine and the an
cient, Polish provinces of Prussia
Should the terms be announced, it
would not be in the expectation that
they would lead, for the present, to
negotiations with the Entente.
The possible Inauguration Of ruth
less submarine warfare in conse-
quence of the avowal of the Entente,
with a view to bringing England to
terms, is much discussed.
At present Inauguration Of a So
called big submarine warm other

without warning of hostile merchant
men and Of neutrals within the for
hidden CONSEQUENTLY is not con-
templated, but there are indications
that naval warfare may be sharpened
in other ways not affected by the Ger
man-Amer1can agreement. Among
possible new measures is an increase
in the rigor of the prize rules.

TWENTY YEARS AGO.
MAYOR CLARK's "BOOM,,

There was blast Saturday after
noon at $3.50 o'clock, that startled and
shook the northern section of the city.
The blast was on the line of the street
running through the rock of Slaugh-
ter House hill and it was the biggest
and loudest ever known in the city,
other than those accidental. cases and
the workings of the board of public
works, There were number of city
officials present to see the success of
the blast, among whom were Mayor
Clark, President Beers of the public
works board, Supt. Lashar, Alderman
Hincks, City Clerk Mullins, Auditor
Heating, Stephen G. Osborne, Sur
veyor Starr and others.
There were 38 holes bored into the
huge boulder and over 200 pounds of
dynamite was deposited in the holes
The different charges were connect
ed by electricity. When everything
was ready Mayor Clerk pressed a but
ton and the earth shook. Five hun
dred tons of rock rose in the air and
the spectacle was beautifully fierce
The air was filled with flying stone
and one rock weighing ten tons was
hoisted some fifty feet away and over
turned. The blast was a success. The
rock was so broken with the excep-
ton Of a few instances, that it's re-
moval was easy, and workingmen are
engaged today in removing the de-
bris.

MONTESQUIEU

Voltaire declared that the title
deeds of the human race had been re-
discovered by Montesquieu, and he did
not exaggerate. Charles Louis de
Secondat, Baron Montesquieu, was
born near Bordeaux .248 years ago to-
day. Jan. IS, 1859. He was the first
great flower of that philosophism
which has made eighteenth century
France forever memorable. Not so
great as Woltaire, he was nevertheless
more distinctly the father of the phil
osophic movement which produced
the Encyclopedias than was his ia
nous contemporary. Montesquieu's
Spirit of the Laws appeared II
years before the N"Social Contract of
Rousseau, and it was one of the first
torches applied to the old stronghold
of medievalisn. Montesquieu popu-
1arized the term ''citoyen," and called
upon his couhtrymen to arouse them
selves from the enjoyment of pleasure
at the price of liberty. He sought,
in his 'sE'prit res Lois to make men
overcome their prejudices." and add
ed: II here call prejudices not that
which causes one to be ignorant Of
certain things, but that which causes
one to be ignorant of himself In
his Persian Letters he displayed wit
enough to arouse the jealousy of Vol
taire, and made such references to the
sacred idols Of the period as to cause
Cardinal Floury to write to all the
Academicians declaring the author Of
that impious work to be unworthy of
election. He was nevertheless elect
ed to. a place among the immortals,
but later dismissed through the in
f1uence of the clergy. His esprit des
Lois was published in Geneva in
Geneva in 1748, and it-h has been well
called one of the most important
books ever written. Montesquieu died
in Paris in 1855.

BLOCKADE CAN'T
STARVE GERMANY,
MINISTER HOLDS
Presenting War Budget to
Prussian Diet, DR.. Lentze
Offers Comment.

London, Jan. 1S.-In submitting
the 1917 budget to the Prussian diet,
DIR. Lentze, the minister of finance,
according to a Reuter- dispatch from
Amsterdam, made the following state
ment:
Each time we have submitted the
war budget in the last two years We
have entertained the hope that it
would be the last with which we
would have to deal. Again we submit
a war budget, and we should not like
to abandon the same hope, despite
the fact that the German peace offer
has been refused by our enemies with
the announcement of their policy OF
war to destruction
After prophesying that the acts of
Germany's foes would fail before the
bravery of the German forces, DR..
Lentze, continued:
"The war has severely taxed our
budget and has demanded special eff
forts. Although a balance of re-
ceipts and expenditures was estab
lished on the estimates, this was only
in appearance, because many import
ant financial questions had to be post
poned until later. This means that
after the war we must continue to
conduct our political economy on mar
rover, more stringent lines than for
merly.
'"The' principal thing to-day is that
we win the war;" DR.. Lentze continu-
ed. ''The blockade makes itself felt
more and more. 1t cannot be denied
that it lies heavily on the country and
yet it must, be borne. Entertainments
on private interests, the difficulties of
supplying foodstuffs and their costli-
ness certainly are very great. Many
man with a small income and a
large family has great troubles to
meet, but what is the welfare of
single individual as compared with
the future Of our whole people.
"Our enemies make a great mis-
take if they believe they can conquer
us by blockade. No one starves in
Germany, despite the blockade. This
has been we'll provided against In
enemy countries the cost Of food and
the distress in many respects are
greater than with US. There are
still difficult months ahead of us, very
heavy fighting still to overcome, many
to make. We do not deny it. But
our confidence remains firm. We are
all convinced that we cannot be de-
feated and that victory will be with
us. Our true God, who so certainly
has guided the young empire Of
Prussia, will remain with us if only
we do our duty and this we shall do
with willing hearts,

GOV. roMPKIN's SPEECH
(Continued)


Amidst these considerations, let not
those who have achieved these great
objects. under the most adverse for
tunes be forgotten. Let them not re-
tire at once the objects of the respect
and in gratitude Of their country
cannot but cherish the hope that their
sacrifices and their sufferings twill
early command the attention of the
national legislature.
The decision with which the subse-
quent war with Algiers has been con-
Quoted, has given new proof as weif
those to whom the public functions of
government have been entrusted, as of
the necessity of that description of
maritime defence so peculiarly adopt
ed to the comU1ercial character of our
country. In Fhe speedy accomplish
ment of peace with Algiers, is to be
found another instance of the high
courage and conduct which on every
occasion have distinguished the gal
liant commander and his brave asso-
ciates.
In estimating the blessings Of peace
we cannot, be too strongly reminded of
the necessity of preparing for every
svcissitude. Our growing commercial
character, the jealousies excited by
our free form of government, the re-
cent brilliant achievements of our
Army and Navy our improvements
both in the arts of peace and war; and
our enterprise and resolution; render
this country an object of fnqu1etude
and apprehension to those nations
whose commercial pursuits and influ-
ence must unavoidably come in COLI
sion with those Of the United States
/ cannot therefore too strongly en-
force on those who are selected as the
guardians of the public safety; the in
dispensable necessity of providing
against future and contingent danger,
the means of prompt and vigorous re-
sistance.

TRAINS WE'RE LATE

The morning train from New York,

went through to New Haven The
drifts are six and eight feet deep in
many places on the track particularly
through Norwalk and Bridgeport. The
