When Mollie King, the golden hair

travelling, she will sleep at night in
a stateroom and not in an ordinary

tresses.

william of the play. The sleeping car

King was declining at full length in
her lower berth and Stuart had just
reached the dark reCesses of the up.

The stage carpenter had builded at.
tractively but not well. Under the
weight of Stuart, there was suddenly
tremendous crash and the upper
berth with Stuart in it cafe tumbling
down upon the PROSTATE Miss King.
For time, 1t seemed as though 1t
would be impossible to recover her
alive from the debris, but she was
finally rescued with no greater damage

pleased with the friendly tone Of the
note and the consideration shown to
American purposes, despite indirect
criticism Of the President.
Officials will await with deepest in
terest confidential reports on the re-
ception among the people OF Germany
of the Entente reply. With German
troops in France, Belgium, Rumania
and large parts of Russia, the demands
of the Entente are expected TO be re-
ceived with great surprise. In that
connection the phrase disclaiming in
tention 10 eXterminate the German peo-
pies is thought to have been written.
Much interest attached TO the demand
for restitution of provinces wrested
from the Allies in the past. While no
special locality was named, Alsace-Lor-
raine is understood 70 be indicated, to.
gether with any further territorial re-
adjustments that the military situation
might justify. This clause is under
stood to have been inserted for its elias
ITCHY.
The enfranchisement of populations
subject to the bloody tyranny of the
Turks" is said TO apply to Arabia, part
of which has declared its independence
under Allied control; Armenia, most of
which is occupied by Russian troops,
and Syria, the southern. tip of which
British troops from Suez have just
reached II is felt that If the Turks
were also driven from Europe only
small part of their empire would be
left
Deep interest also centred in the sec
ton proposing the expulsion from
Europe of the Ottoman Empire and
the failure to mention what govern
ment would take its place at Constan-
tinople That city, with its control Of
the Dardanelles, has been one of the
prime keynotes of the war and was
stated by former Premier Trepof to
have been promised by the Allies to
Russia. Whether the omission marks
any change of policy or lack OF agree
ment, or whether it was made to
emphasize the attitude toward the
Turk, is unexplained.

government as untrue. Germany
again offers energetic protest against
these calumnies.
Germany and her allies have made
an honest attempt to terminate the
war and open the road for an un-
derstanding among the belligerents.
The imperial government asserts
the fact that it merely depended
upon the decision of our adver-
saries whether the road toward
peace should be entered upon or
not. The hostile governments de-
clined to accept this road. Upon
them falls the full responsibility
for the continuation OF the blood
shed.
Our allied powers. however, shall
continue the struggle in quiet con-
fidence and with firm trust in their
right. until peace is gained which
guarantees to their nations honor,
existence and liberty of develop
ment. and which 10 all the nations
OF the European continent gives
the blessing TO cooperate in mutual
respect and under equal rights to-
gether for the solution OF the great
problems Of civilization.

ton of the prolongation of hostilities
which neutral opinion would accept as

Ike "Fremdenblst." meets the argu-
ment Of the Entente that the German
proposals are insincere and aimed only
at provoking discord among the Allies
with the statement that such danger
could not be mentioned unless it was
actually justified by the relations Of
the Entente, and it continues, unless
there was good reason to fear that not
German intrigue. but the territorial as
pirations of the various Entente

continue the war merely 10 satisfy the

on that continent.
The barbarous treatment OF pris-
oners. especially in Africa and Rus
STA, and the deportation OF the civil
ian population from Eastern Prus-
STA, Alsace-Lorraine, Galicia and
Bukowina, are further proof of how
our adversaries respect justice and
civilization.
At the end Of their note Of Deem
Der 30 our adversaries point out the
special situation of Belgium. The
imperial government is unable TO
acknowledge that the Belgian gov
eminent has always observed the
duties which were enjoined upon her
by her neutrality. Already, before.
the war. Belgium. under England's
influence. sought support in military
fashion from England and France,
and thus herself violated the spirit
OF the treaty which she had to guar
antee her independence and neutral
ity.
Twice the imperial government
declared TO the Belgian government
that il did not come as an enemy 10
Belgium, and asked it to spare to
the country the terrors OF war. Ger
many offered TO guarantee the in
tePrity and independence OF the
kingdom 20 the full extent and com
pensate for all damages which might
be caused by the passage of the
German troops.
1t is known that the royal British
government, in 1887. was resolved
not 20 oppose the use Of the right
OF way through Belgium under those
conditions.
The Belgian government declined
the repeated offer of tn imperial
government. Upon her and those
powers which instigated her to this
attitude falls the responsibility for
the fate which befell Belgium.
The accusations about the Ger
mans warfare in Belgium and the
measures taken there in the inter
est Of military safety have been re-
peatedly refuted by the imperial

Germanys Sincerity Defended
Their readiness was affirmed with
out reservation TO make known
their peace conditions when nego-
tiations were entered into, which
refutes every doubt as to their sin
cerity.
Our adversaries, who had it in
their hands TO examine the propo-
sition as to its contents, neither at
tempted an examination nor made
counter proposals. Instead, they
declared that peace was impossible

Entente's Note ClaSSed
as Greatest of the War

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Entente
note is regarded as one of the most
delicate and carefully written diplo-
matte documents the war has produced
Oficials were losth to discuss even its
broad aspects before they had had
time TO study il with the utmost care
The compactness Of the note and the
delicate touches of language and sug-
gestion, and the painstaking choice OF
words and phrases convince officials
that il will require more careful study
than any document OF the war.
Surprise was expressed that such n
complicated. many-sided document. rep
