Washington, Jan. 5-Loyd Georges speech today on
war aims spells very long stride toward peace 1t brings
the wars end by months than any other public ut
terance from the allied nations to date.
That epitomises Washington sentiment tonight inso-
far opinion has had chance to crystalline his
mentous declarations. While it's tone is warning; and
while the brief comments for publication still take the tack
of recent weeksthat peace cannot be considered
the private talk of high officials that the premier had
moved extremely far toward stopping hostilties

SPECIFIC AIMS STATED.
Taking the speech as a whole. and
casting aside many of it's details. au-
thorities stressed the one big thought.
namely:
THIS is THE MOST SPECIFIC
WAR AIMS-OR PEACE TERMS
STATEMENT VOICED THUS FAR
NOT EVEN EXCEPTING PRESI-
DENT WILSON'S FRANK DEC
LARATIONS. IT SHOWS A DIS
POSITION TO TALK PEACE. AND
WHETHER OR NOT GERMANY Is
YET READY TO HEARKEN TO
LLOYD GEORGES TERMS AS A
WHOLE, THEY FURNISH A WORK
ING BASIS UPON WHICH. MORE
AND MORE, WILL BE BUILT A
FOUNDATION FOR A PEACE CON-
FERENCE, AUTHORITIES SAY.
PEACE BY MAY DAY7
One official high in rank in the army
went so far tonight as to confidentially
predict that the speech means peace
by May day. This man is generally
regarded as an earnest analyst. And,
while his prediction was regarded a.
far too liberal. the thought Of peace
this year was voiced in many expert
quarters.
The state depa rtment itself was ST.
lent
Officials warned that whether or mo-
This is step toward peace, the main
business Of the United States now is
war. There must be no letting down
just because statesmen appear to be
getting together to settle troubles
without force of arms, it was empha-
sized. Lloyd George himself carried
the very solemn warning that the al
lies are prepared for even greater
sacrifices than ever In a righteous
cause.
APPEAL TO LIBERALS.
Getting down to an analysis of the
premier's terms. the authorities pointed
out that he had taken leaf from
President Wilson's book in trying TO
reassure Austria and Germany that
this war is not one of ACKNOWLEDGMENT
or disruption.
This was manifestly an appeal to the
liberals of Germany and Austria to
the war weary elements of Austria /.
shift the present autocratic control to
a democracy.
And, while he pointed out clearly
the worlds doubt of the sincerity of
the present German government by de-
re esta ablishment of the sane
tity of treaties, he made a distinct bid
for the revolution within the central
empires.
STRONG CONCESSION.
As for strictly territorial problsms
Lloyd George undoubtedly made the
strongest concession yet suggested on
the allied side with respect to Alsace-
when he demanded recon
of its wrongs, and did not
Insist that France regain it. Alsace-

TUNGSTEN Mines
HAVE REAL GOODS

S. III. Crittenden, who returned from
the new tungsten camp about nine
miles northwest of Mill City this
morning, reports that the camp is not
booming but mining men are coming
in quietly and securing ground and
leases. The best evidence of produc-
ton is ore teams going out constantly
to Mill City.
The Friedman lease, exposing ore
in the north end of the district, is now
producing about a car day. Produc-
ton is limited only by capacity of ore
bin and ability of hoist A new twenty
horsepower hoist is now on the
ground, so that part of the difficulty
will soon be remedied.
1t is reported that the Sutton prop
eFty and that of Tom Durnan have
been sold at large figures. On this
property, according to one of the own
ers, ore to the value of a quarter
million dollars has been blocked out
in little more than a month and $780,
600 extracted and milled.

NEVADA PICTURE
NEARLY COMPLETE

Renoites are going to enjoy winter
sports at Truckee tomorrow, the Com
mercial Club having arranged spe-
cial excursion to leave from that city
tomorrow morning. AT the same time
they will get "mugged" by the movie
man, Hale Ayres of the Premier Film
Corporation, Reno. for he and his
trusty camera will be on the job with
the excursionists.
Ayres has just returned to Reno
from Virginia City, where he took
pictures of historical points for
inclusion in the Nevada film, shortly
TO be shown throughout the state and
in the east He has already taken pic
lures in other points of interest in
Nevada and the frolic at Truckee is
calculated to wind up the picture TAX
ing in blaze of glory. 1t was origi-
nally intended to devote only 1000 feet
of film to the picture, but as things
are turning out there will be between
2200 and 2500 feet in it when COM
pleted, making picture of about 40
minutes duration.
Pictures were taken of the interior
of the Comstock mines, which were
especially lighted for the purpose, and
the ruins of the old pony express re-
lay stations and barns erected near
Fernley in 1854, while Ayres was on
the Virginia City spoke of his tour,
and these things, in conjunction with
the many other interesting and his
torical spots photographed, should
combine to make an excellent produc-
ton of the whole.
