In his newest Paramount picture,
Nan Of Music Mountain" which is

plays the part of Henry de Spain, a
young westerner. The story deals
with his adventures in cleaning up
gang Of outlaws and thieves, and
incidentally his quest to ayenge the
murder Of his father. There is a very
fascinating love story, with the
daughter OF the worst thief in the
gang as his ffancee. The way these
two alone, after de Spain has at last
won the girls love, make the gang"
reform, and find a way to commence
their lives together without any of
the. ever present feuds or robbers,
makes a vivid and unusual photoplay.

CORRESPONDENCE

[By Carl D. Groat, United Press Staff
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 7.--Amer1ca
will push her work without thought
that peace may be drawing nearer.
Secretary of War Baker and other
officials held today that there must
be no letting down in preparations.
Peace, they said, now is up to Ger
many. Lloyd-George has stated the
allied terms and insofar as unofficial
expressions here go, these are Am
erica's terms, too.
II Germany wants to reform her
self and accept these terms, the way
is open. But IL she wants to fight
on, the allies and America are fully
aware of and ready for the bloody
sacrifices involved. all oficials
agree.
They added that It would be little
short of reasonable and fool-hardy
for this nation to slow up now, mere
ly because of a growing conviction
that the allies and Teutons are get
ting more nearly together through q
process of unofficial statement OF
peace aims.
True, authorities here, including
men high in the military councils do
believe that peace is coming up more
rapidly than is the general belief.
But If they had their way wholly,
there would not even be statement
of war aims. Instead, there would be
a policy Of blood and iron which
would ultimately make the German
lines crumble and the kaiser beg for
peace.
Some military men, however. are
inclined to feel that already the war
is shifting into the diplomatic field.
That by the mere fact Of statement
of terms from both sides, desire
for peace is manifest which sows the
seed for actual negotiations. Not
that they think Germany is going to
accept Lloyd-George's terms right
away, but they believe that Germany
now knows that she cannot win and
Is willing. therefore, to go far to get
an adjustment.
One neutral diplomat sized up the
situation today as case Of peace In
three or four months or a war Of
three or four years. That may be
said to be a more or less prevalent
opinion here. though those who ven.
ture into prophecy, vary in their
maximum and minimum figures con-
siderably.
The thought here is that Lloyd
George cleverly offset German prop
aganda by disclaiming any intent to
crush the German people while at
the same time he made a distinct bid
for a separate Austrian peace and
skilfully maneuvered to draw the
Russians back iQto the allied fold
If Austria finally heeds the cry for
peace and the Russians definitely set
themselves against Germany SO she
cannot get supplies, then will peace

Russian officials are skeptical how.
ever, Of any permanent alignment
between the allies and Russia. Her
cry Is peace, peace and regardless of
what party comes into power they
feel that the SIavs will stick to their
separate peace program, unless
general peace is maneuvered in the
meantime.
Officials anticipate that Germany
STA, having failed to bully the Slavs
at Brest-Litovsk. Teutnn threats to-
|use force In accomplishing their de-
mand are regarded as camouflage.
However, further allied efforts will
be made to induce Russia to return
to the flock. These attempts will be
directed toward showing Russia that
her salvation lies only with the al
lies.
Peace Negotiations Ended.
AMSTERDAM, Jan. 7.--Practical
notice that the RussoG German peace
negotiations at BrestlLitovsk are con.
cluded, was contained in wireless
message which German delegates to
that place sent to the Russians to,
day.
The message, according to dis.
patches received here from Berlin to
day pointed out to the Russians that
the principles enunciated by the Ger.
mans at Brest-Ldtovsk December Is.
were expressly contingent that all
belligerents unreservedly within a
suitable period would bind them
selves strictly to observe these CON
ditions."
The message continued that the
delegates fixed ten days as this per
iod, within which other belligerents
were to decide whether or not they
would join the peace conferences.
"The central powers now record
the fact" the message concluded
that this period has now lapsed as
