Christmas Proposal, He

London, Dec. 15.-Bmperor William
in his Christmas message proposes
to make final peace offer to his enc

company.
GERMAN STORY DENIED.
With reference to the German gov
ernment's statement that it had re-
ceived through neutral government
last September an inquiry in regard
to its war aims under circumstances
indicating that the inquiry was made
with the sanction of the British gov
eminent, the Daily Chronicle prints
a statement from Lord Robert Cecil,
minister of blockade, branding the
whole story as untrue.
The statement follows closely on
Premier Lloyd Georges declaration
in . speech yesterday that move to-
ws1d peace by England at this time
would be betrayal of trust.
DEPENDS ON AMERICA.
''If this is the worst moment it is
because Russia has stepped out and
America is only preparing to come in.
Every hour that passes will see the
gap formed by the retirement OF the
Russians filled by the valiant sons Of
the great republic. Germany knows
it and Austria knows it, hence the
desperate efforts that they are making
to force the issue before America is
ready. They will not succeed"
This was the concluding statement
of Premier David Lloyd George in his
address at the dinner of the Gray's
Inn Benchers, lawyers club.
CERTAIN OF VICTORY.
That steady progress toward the
desired goal was being made by the
allies, despite some untoward occur.
FENCES, it was the firm conviction Of
the premier, he declared.
Because of this fact, the premier
said, he would regard peace over
lures to Prussia at the moment when
her military spirit was drunk with
boastfulness as betrayal of the trust
of himself and his colleagues. The
premier's words were:
1T is because ! am firmly con-
WINGED that, despite some untoward
events, despite discouraging appear
ances, we are making steady progress
toward the goal that believe peace
overtures to Prussia at the very mo-
ment the Prussian military spirit is
drunk with boastfulness would be
betrayal of the peoples trust. the
great trust with which my colleagues
and myself have been charged"
RUSSIA GREAT MENACE.
II Russia persists in her present
policy, the premier pointed out, the
withdrawal by the enemy from the
east of third of his troops must re-
lease hundreds of thousands of men
and masses of material to attack
Great Britain, France and Italy.
ut would be folly" he added, ito
underrate the danger; equal folly to
exaggerate it, and the greatest folly
Of all not to face it.
'Tf the Russian democracy has de-
cided to abandon the struggle against
military autocracy. the American
democracy is taking it up"
