LAWSON fRENZIED

its Indignation at the elimination of
the greatest robbery and most gigantic
crime Of all history-the premeditated

In case Mr.. Lawson's twelve pages

skeptical, he offers another way in
which the leaks, submarines, billion
dollar crimes, CT al, can be exposed.
Just let them appoint committee OF

cause il seems TO us TO emphasize the
idea that vindication of outraged right
is the first thing for the Allies to insist
upon, and that a fabric resting on I'M
dertakings such as a league to enforce
peace can only begin TO have value
when the sanctity of international un-
dertakings has been uneouivocably re-
established.
with the inspiring words Of the
manifesto ringing in our ears, we look
forward with hope across the imme-
date future of trial, sufferings and
losses which must still continue q while
toward the future Of international peace
and freedom"
"The Daily News" expresses the be
lief that after the utterances Of the
Russian Emperor the reply OF the En-
tente Allies could scarcely have been
otherwise than it was.
Challenges and penalties"
"The one doubtful point" says "The
Daily News" ais that the English
version makes the Allies demand not
restitution but penalties for crimes
committed by Germany. This, If net
merely a mlstranslation, would be a
grave and ominous change, running
quite gratuitously the risk Of exposing
the Entente to q charge of vindictive-
ness. The French word sanctions al
most certainly does not mean what the
English word penalties" conveys. It is
rather a synonyme for guarantees than
blunt threat Of punishment, which
would probably stimulate the Germans
TO fight to the last man rather than
to submit
Discussing the possible outcome Of
the reply. "The Daily News" says;
at does not. Of course, follow Heces-
sarily that because the proposal is a
rejection all hope Of negotiations in
the near future are ended. The Allies
have replied to Germany, but have not
replied TO President Wilson. Nor has
Germany yet returned 70 him rele-
want answer. Proposals to negotiate
in the dark have ended. but the pro-
possl for the belligerents to state
their terms remains. There is nothing
in the Allies reply which needs make
that more difficult, but the next move
is with Germany

Ozark Forces" Undermin-
ing Nations Best Efforts
in War, Says Formula
MILUkOFF ASSAlLS
THE GOVERNMENT
Council of Empire and
Congress of Mobiles Share
Approximations

Petrogrsd, Dec. Sl.-The latest meet
ing o. the Duma provided an interest
ing conclusion to the most eyentful
session in the history Of Russia's rep
resentative chamber.
Beginning with violent attack on
the government by Professor Milukotf,
leader Of the Constitutional Democrats,
which was followed b. a series Of sem
sational disclosures in the speeches OF
Vladimir Purishkevich and others, the
Duma united in n formula directed
against the ozark forces" which the
Duma was convinced we're undermin-
ing the nations best efforts to conduct
he war successfully and creating seri-
GUS dsorganization in all departments
OF the government and in the interior.
Public Opinion Represented
The Dumas resolution was so repre-
sentative Of public opinion in general
that it was followed by like for nala
in the Council of the Empire and even
in the Congress Of Mobiles, showing 70
what an extent the Dumas apprehen-
sions were shared by all elements OF
the Russian nation. In the last meet
ing before adjournment Professor
Milukof emphasized the fact that the
struggle was not yet az an end.
I'VE must say loudly that we won't
give up the fight until our aim is
reached" he said. "The moral support
of the entire nation will give weight to
our decision. In the interior, as else
where, 4 complete change is necessary
before the objects mentioned in the
Emperor's ukase can be achieved"
Dumas Resolution
The Duma passed the following reso-
luton concerning the recent prohini'
tion of a meeting of the Zemstvo In the
town Of Soyuz:
Whereas. the prohibition OF the
Congress of Zemstvo in the town OF
Soyuz is in sharp contradiction TO the
declaration of the Premier, who &C
knowedged their highly patriotic work;
and, whereas, this work, necessary "a
the army, cannot properly be devel-
oped. in view Of the opposition Of the
government and the impediments
placed in the way OF public organiza-
lions assisting in the work OF carrying
on the war, which is causing displeas.
ure throughout the country; and
whereas, they indorse the resolution
expressed by the legislative chambers
regarding the present situation, and
therefore give strong manifestation OF
the moral support Of the nation, the
Imperial Duma welcomes the patriotic
work Of the unions engaged IN the
work Of defence and strongly condemns
the prohibition Of their meetings"

WILSON IS JOINED
BY GREEK KING
Constantine Ready to Aid
in Any Move to Bring
Peace

Athens. Dec. 31.-King Constantine
summoned Garrett Droppers. the Amer
lean Minister. to the palace YESTERDAY
and communicated to him the text o
the Greek reply 10 President Wilson
peace note. In tho reply the King az
sociates himself with the President W
desire and willingness 70 do all III ms
power 10 promote peace.
The note recites the suherngs OF
Greece at the hands OF the belllgereh's
on both sides while the nation has been
endeavoring 20 maintain neutrality. u
adds that Greece has endured greater
hardships from the war than any othei
ncutral and is DESTROYS OF the consum-
nation of peace.
The text of the reply follows
81 wish to express, Mr.. President,
feelinos Of sincere admiration and
lively sympathy for the generous IN
native YOU have just taken with the
view 70 ascertaining whether the mo-
ment is not propitious for negouaoie
end Of the bloody struggle raging on
earth. -..-
"Conine from the wise statesman

American Republic, this humanitarian
ogort dictated By a spirit Of high, po-
liticaI sagacity and looking TO an non

tribute greatly toward fastening re-
establishment of normal life anc as

humanity toward that progress wherein

Then follows n recital Of the TRIALS
Greece has suffered from the war,
which. on account Of the censorship,
il is useless 10 attempt to cable. Inc
Kings message ends as follows:
"Such are the conditions in which
your proposals find my country. This
short and necessarily incomplete re.
cital is not made with the purpose Of
criticism Of the cruel blows AZ her SOW
oreignty and neutrality from which
Greece has been forced 20 suffer the
effects. | have merely wished 20 show
vou. Mr.. President how much The soul
of Greece at this, moment longs Tor
peace and how much it appreciates
your proposals. which constitute so
important a step in the course OF the
bloody world tragedy of which we are
witnesses. (Signedl
CONSTANTINE"
The Greek government also will make
formal reply, which will associate
Greece with the proposals OF President
Wilson

CANADIAN SHELL WORKERS
URGED TO F0REG0 HOLIDAY
Dominion Output Below Promise, Mu-
nitions Board Issues Appeal

Halifax, n. s., Dec. 31.-The present
delivery Of shells from Canadian NUM-
tioh factories is below the quantity
promised. it was learned to-day, from
AM appeal issued by the Imperial Mu-
nitions Board, urging every munitions
worker to sacrifice the New Years hol-
iday. The appeal urges the men and
women workers to devote themselves
on the holiday with increased energy
and unstinted time to the task Of addi-
t;onal output"
"The Imperial Minister of Munitions
has intrusted 10 the manufacturers Of
Canada and their workpeople,' says the
statement, "the production of an i'm
portAnt percentage OF the shells which
will be used at the front. 1t is vital TO
the successful prosecution Of the war
that these munitions be delivered week
ly, as promised. The present delivery
Of shells (save in one size) is below
the promised quantity, and the short
age has become so serious that IL
causes grave anxiety"

Reply to Berlin Sacred
Pledge, London Declares

London. Jan. 1.-The morning news
papers to-day comment on the joint
note Of the Entente Allies in a manner
similar to their previous criticisms OF
the note of the Central Powers, the
Emperor of Russis's declaration with
regard to peace and the speeches OF the
political leaders.
"The Morning Post describes the
note as q document in which ten
nations have defied the powers OF dark
ness and once more have pledged them
selves 10 fight 20 the end" and says 1t
is a moral victory Of extraordinary
moment to civilization"
az we are not fighting IN the cause
Of righteousness" "The Morning Post
continues, 1--WE have made the greatest
mistake known to history. The ap-
peal Is to justice, freedom and the
sanctions of religion. 1t is for this
reason that the Intervention Of neu-
trails. so far as 1t is based on the
evasion OF known facts, is, and must
remain, futile, and it is for the same
reason that peace on the German terms
is now declared impossible Of accept

London, Dee. Slew infantry oper-
stions broke the monotony Of the trench

Endorsement of Allies
Reply to Berlin
BY ARTHUR s. DRAPER
BY Cable 20 rms Tribunal

London. Dec. 31.-The United States
is approaching serious diplomatic
crisis with Germany over the sub
marine question, according to general
telief here. Certain sections OF the
British press put greater emphasis on
this phase OF the present situation than
on the reply Of the Entente to Ger
many's note, which, however. has the
unanimous approval Of the press OF all
the Allied countries.
While diplomatic negotiations are
going on the Germans are busy pre-
pairing for intense submar nc activities.
This is proved by reports of torpedoing
in many waters. A large number OF
U-boats are operating in the hediter-
rnnean to embarrsss Italy economically
and to paralyze the Allied operations in
Macedonia.
No Regard for Neutral Flags
Regardless Of their nationality, all
cargo vessels, even the smallest sailing
ships. are being sent TO the bottom
Norway, Spain, Denmark and Holland
are suffering proportiOnately with
Great Britain and France. The toll OF
Norwegian ships. which last year
9mounted 10 PIP, with a tonnage OF
367. 1000, il greater than that Of any
other neutral.
Germany's greatest hope in a fur
Their offensive war Lies in the activities
OF her submarines, by which she is
trying 70 wage an economic conflict 20
Offset her inability TO conduct large
land operations.
Basis Of L. s. Conflict
1t Is this fact which leads officials
20 believe that she will soon come into
serious conflict with the United States
over the conduct of submarine warfare
As stated in these columns previous
", the reply OF the Allies to President
Wilson's note is likely to be far diff
ferent from the note TO Germany, Sep
arate replies will be made TO the Presi-
dent by each member Of the Entente,
though all may go forward at the same
time. Though the tone Of each Is like
IL 20 be the same, the individual OBJ
iects of each country probably will be
outlined in collective reply, forming
a composite story Of the Entente's aims
in the war
