THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.
Boston Has Both in Midst of Snow
Storm.

Boston, Feb. 6.--Vivid flashes of light
ming, followed by sharp peals of thunder
in the midst of driving snow storm,
gave Boston a brief period of unusual
weather yesterday. The electrical storm
broke just after the city had been
plunged into darkness, but the skies
cleared quickly.
Weather bureau officials explained
that the darkness was caused by volumes
of smoke that could not rise because of
low clouds. While conditions were un-
usual, similar storms, they said, had
prevailed before.
The thunder storm extended to other
points in this state.

Peace Dream Is
Over for Present,
Says Berlin Paper

Berlin, Jan. 2.-(Via Amsterdam
and London. 1.-The peace dream is
over for the present" says the
Taeglische Rundscl.c Whoever
abandoned himself thereto will be
sobered by the entente reply and will
adapt himself to the hard reality.
IF the German offer is today re.
iected, the thought of peace is not by
this. refusal suffocated. The British
French and Russian people have been
deluded into the belief that our Offer
of peace was confession of our weak.
ness and an attempt to save ourselves
before the collapse.
when the coming months of the
war shows that this lie, too, is shiv.
cred on the German arms, revulsior
must come, and then woe to those
rulers who will have to anwcr for the
useless bloodshed."
Wilson Hopes for Results.
Washington, Jan, 2.-Secretary
Lansing said today that the English
text Of the entente reply to Germany'<
peace proposals probably would be
forwarded to the central powers to
day without waiting for the oficia
French text. That will be sent direcr
to the central powers by the Ameri
can embassy in Paris.
President Wilson has not decided
on his next step. 1t became known
on unquestionable authority today
that he has not given up hope thai
beneficial results may come out O.
the present negotiations.
