But discus sion of future arrangements destined to insure an enduring peace presupposes a satisfactory settlement of the actual con- hict; the allies have as profound a de- sire as the United States to stop war for which the central allies are respon- sfble. and which inflicts such cruel suf- fering upon humanity. But they believe that 1t is impossible at the present mo- ment to attain a peace which will assure them reparation, restitution and such guarantees to which they are entitled by the aggression for which the responsi- bility rests with the central powers and of which the principal itself tended to ruin the security of Europe; peace which would. on the other hand. permit the establishment of the future of the European nations on solid basis.

Come and Sit By the Fire Is Message Sent to Freezing Sen tnes at Gates-Heflin of Alabama Thinks Women Might Harm Chief Executive and Wants Them Made to
 Go Away From Their Posts-Despite the
 Cold, the Banners Are Still Displayed
By HUGH w. ROBERTS

maiiding to know what the President will do for suffrage marched to their posts this morning in military style. The ban ners stayed all day, but at times they were standing unsupported against the iron fence.
 SEEK SHELTER
 In spite of frequent reliefs and the use of hot bricks and much drinking of hot chocolate, the guards now and again dropped their banner staffs to seek shell ter behind the big stone pillars flanking the gateways.
 The President passed the sentinels only once, as he returned from his morn ing game of golf. He smiled as his auto mobile swept into tn. grounds.
 Word of the trials of the women reach ed the White House family and shortly after noon, the President gave the first evidence of having his attention forced by sending the chief porter out with his invitation. Miss Gertrude Ferniale of Bal timore, in charge of the detail, recelveu the message with evident surprise and didn't understand at first. She said she would talk the matter over with her associates. but there were no acceptances.
 During the day two volunteers, a Ger man woman and one from England joined the sentinels for short periods. They were Miss Mary Wheeler of Liver pool and Mrs Virginia Bertheim of Ber- lin.
 A messabe for transmission to Dutch suffragists was delivered today by the Congressional union to the Netherlands legation. The Netherlands women were congratulated for placing sentinels out side the Parliament building in Holland during the4ast few weeks and were told that the suffragists here also were ''lay- ing siege td the seat of government"

 Delivery of Answer to
 President Wilson ANOTHER DEFENSE IS MADE AS TO BELGIUM Entente Powers Are Accused of Wag- ing War of Starvation and Using Colored Troops in Viola tiOn of Usage

1 Berlin, January 11.-tsia SayvilIe.)
 Germany today handed neutral gov
 ernments note concerning the reply of the entente to the German peace proposals. the Overseas News agency
 announces.
 It is first stated. sayn the news
 agency announcement. that the Ger
 man government has received the re- ply of the entente to the note of De- 1 ccmber IF containing proposition to ] enter at once into peace negotiations. The note then continues:
 REASON OF NOTE
 "Our adversaries declined this propo- sition, giving as the reason that it is a proposition without sincerity and without importance. The form in which they clothe their communication ex- icludes an answer to them, but the i'm |perial government considers it inn Iportant to point out to the governments of neutral powers it's opinion regard Ing the Sltuatlon. "The central powers have no reason to enter into any discussion regarding the origin of the world war. History will judge upon whom the immense guilt of the war shall fall; history's verdict will as little pass over the en- circling policy of England, the re- vengeful policy of France and the en- deavor of Russia to gain Constantino- pie as over the instigation of the Servian assassination at Sarajevo and
 the. complete mobilization of Russia,
 which meant war against Germany.
 "Germany and her allies, who had to
 take up arms for defense of their liberty and their existence. consider this, their aim of the war. as obtained. 'On the other hand. the hostile powers always went further away from the realization of their plans. which, according to the declarations of their responsible statesmen. were, among others, directed toward the conquest of lAlsace-Lorraine and several Prussian provinces, the humiliation and diminu- ition of the Austro-H Hungarian mon- dA SiAyS thS Pek tAtAOA OA LII hCy anu lu0 lmutilation of Bulgaria.
 ALLIED DEMANDS SURPRISING Tn the face of such war aims. the demand for restitution. reparation and guarantees in the mouth of our ad- |versaries produces a surprising effect, Our adversaries call the proposal of the four allied (Teutonic) powers a war maneuver. Germany and her allies must protest in the most energetic fashion against such characterization [ of their motives which were frankly explained. They were persuaded that a peace which was just and acceptable | to all the belligerents was possible that it could be brought about by an immediate. spoken exchange of views,
 and that. therefore. the responsibility

reply, came as a distinct surprise. It promptly was characterized by the entente diplomats as a carefully pre- pared and timed address to. the world calculated to offset the entente state ment of aims and purposes.
 The entente note is regarded as one of the most delicate and careful ly written diplomatic documents the war has produced. Officials were loath to discuss even it's broad aspects be- fore they had had time to study it with the utmost care. The compact ness of the note, the delicate touches of language and suggestion and the painstaking choice of words and phrases convince officials that it will require more careful study than any document of the war Surprise was expressed that such a complicated, many-sided document representing so many aims and points of view, could show such finesse and skill in the drafting.
 TONE IS FRIENDLY
 Officials also were pleased with the friendly tone of the note and the eon- sideration shown to American pur- poses, despite the indirect criticism of the President for what the entente ccnstrues as confusing the allied and Germanic purposes. This change in at- utude proved surprising after the early hostility which greeted the American note in the entente press and was taken to mean rather studied effort not to do anything which would cause offense in this country.
 Peace at an early date is foreseen

AppFOAlinaCely l4UU men were enl- Iployed in the plant, which comprised between 40 and 50 buildings and cov- cred about 80 acres of ground. No munitions were manufactured at Kingsland, but the plant was used for the filling of shells, the chief constituent used being trinitrotoluol, one of the most powerful explosives known.
 HEARD FOR MILES
 While it was estimated that nearly 5oo,- 900 shells exploded. primary fuses or caps had not been attached to them and con sequently their detonaton did not cause the havoc that follows their explosion when used on European battlehelds. The roar of the shells, which sounded like a cannonade from heavy guns, was heard for miles, however, and the concussions shook buildings within wide radius of the plant.
 Two big magazines in which were stored trinitrotoluol. nitric acid. picric acid and powder were not reached by the flames and it was believed tonight they were not in danger
 PEOPLE TAKE FLIGHT
 Kingsland, Rutherford and other places nearby were filled tonight with refugees who had fled from their homes in the vicinity of the plant. A dozen persons were arrested at Kingsland on charges of petit larceny and orders were issued by Sheriff Courier of Bergen county to the guards sent out bv him in all difs1- tions to shot looters. Thomas J. Huckia. county prosecutor, and his assistants be- gan tonight an investigation to fix respon- sibility for the disaster. It was said al the offices of the Canadian Car and | Foundry company that their inquiry had not been completed and that no state- ment would be issued until tomorrow The fire. which began at $50 p. m. was still smouldering late tonight in the ruins. Shells exploded almost continuous ly until 2 30 o'clock, but after that hour the detonations were only intermittent
 THEORY OF FIRE The fire which led to the disaster start
 
 1 90, where shells were being cleaned with denatured alcohol. The most generally accepted theory is that electric wires on the ceiling became crossed and pieces of blazing insulation fell into the alcohol A high northwest wind caused the flames to spread rapidly through the Him. sy structures that made up the plant. The company's fire brigade tried vainly l to check the fire, and within few min utes warning was given and the employees fled for their lives.
 The flames leaped from building to building which were filled with shells awaiting shipment. There was con- tinuous roar as the flaming missiles flew high into the air and exploded. Soon the entire So acres which the plant occupied seemed to be covered with a sheet of flames. Dense black smoke covered the countryside for miles.
 BUILDINGS SHAKEN Buildings within radius of two miles were shaken and almost all their win- dows shattered. Many structures were badly damaged by falling shells and sev- eral were set on fire
 There was a literal reign of terror throughout Union township, in which the plant is situated.

but there are multitude of little
things that later must be added or
repaired in order that the road may
be in good condition. Ruts and chuck
holes are sure to form and these must
be filled or the road soon goes to
pieces. These things should be
planned for and done quickly If the
improved road is to do the fullest
service, and this is the one thing that
it seems to me some of our county
commissioners are neglecting. They
become SO imbued with the idea of
building good roads that they fail to
