London, Dec. 29.-"Achievement of
the proposes for which the allies are
fighting is essential to the future free
dom and peace Of mankind" says Pre-
mier LlOyd-GeOrge in letter which he
sent to the labor congress. The pre-
mier's statement is regarded as the

Paris, Dec. 29.-France will not &C.
cept a peace based on conditions be-

declared in replying in the chamber of
deputies to the German proposals. He
said Germany was seeking to protract
the negotiations with the Russians and
to re-establish commercial relations,
believing that in this way the bolshe-
Wiki might be checkmated.
In his speech, referring to the war
aims Of France, Pichon said the first
was to conquer. "But why?" he went
on. "To assure world peace of JUS

FRENCH VICTORY ON
ITALIAN FRONT GROWS
Captured 1904 Men and Forty-Four
Austrian Officers in Initial Drive
Battle Short and Sharp.

italian Headquarters in Northern
Italy, Jan. 2.-The magnitude Of the
achievement of the French troops on
the Monte TOmba region grows as full
details are received.
In addition to 1,34S men, including
A Austrian officers, several Of high
rank, made prisoner, and seven large
guns captured, the booty includes 60
machine guns, several trench quick
firers and a great amount of miscel-
laneOus war material.
But the chief significance Of the
stroke is the change from defensive
to offensive tactics, and the stirring
enthusiasm aRd sureness with which
the French delivered their initial blow
against the enemy lines.
Thus far the enemy has been on
the offensive, with the Italians deliver
I'M" telling defensive blows.
Now, however, the French have
turned the scale, and the enemy is
being attacked in this sector for the
first time since he reached the Pave.

Oughness Of preparation and heroic
bravery in execution. The scene was
southeast of Monte TOmba, a low,
snowless mountain just west of the
Piave, where the allied lines turn into
the mountain region.
Here the artillery preparation began
Saturday, but the main bOmbardment
began at noon Sunday and increased
hourly until the enemy was deluged
by the French fire.
1t was then that the crack French
infantry swung forward in steady
lines from Osteria eli Monfenera and
Maranzine, front of about two
miles. The heaviest forces were on
the right wing. italian and British
airmen at the same time attacked the
enemy from the air.
The struggle was comparatively short
and sharp with most of the fighting on
the right wing. The artillery had so
damaged the enemy positions that he
was unable TO make any effective re-
sistance. The French losses were com

A tangle of wires. twisted and fallen
sInokestacks, expensive machinery
and bulging supply of recently stor-
ed hams. bacon and lard rendered
useless and perhaps with but little OF
il to be salvaged-these mark the
ravages of fire at the packing plant
of the Walla Walla Meat & Cold Stor-
age company. The fire started at 6
o'clock last evening and required
several hours hard work by firemeD
subdne. The cause is not known.
Damage to the stock of meats both
cured and fresh and to the building
and machinery could not be estimat-
ed by Manager Frank Lowden last
night but firemen estimated the loss
at from 100000 to $150,0OO. Mr..
Lowden was reluctant in discussing
the fire. saying he would wait till the
adjusters arrived. The Insurance Is

World. The opposition of the
express companies for years
STAYED off the parcel post. Now
the shoe is on the other foot.
With unity of operation once
established, it is almost incon-
iceivable that any one will ever
seriously propose going back to
the old system.
There viii be less objection
to the change now than would
have been the case in the past.
Shortage of labor and other
causes have cut into profits
and one company has reported
"a deficit. With the country at

there are no men to spare to
run four big express companies

NO TIME FOR CARELESS.

~ HE appeal of the forestry
VI fire wardens for unusual
precautions on the part
of all people in the mountains
this year is timely. There is so
much other work for all hands
to do this year that every pre-
ventable forest fire should be
prevented. The warning about
cigarette stubs is a practical
one because the cigarette stub
as a fire menace is a reality,
not a Joke. A cigarette will
shoulder for a long time and if
carelessly thrown down is cap
able, little as it may be, of
starting a big forest fire. This
is year to take no chances. 1t
is time for every loyal citizen
to be especially on guard. For
those who may start fires mali
ciously an appropriate punish
ment would be to have them sit
in the blaze.

Ordinarily tinted glasses do not fur

WHY THE KAISER HURRIEs

nCCORDING to the figures
A of Henry Wood, staff cor
respondent of the United
Press with the French army
and who was decorated by the
French as chevalier of the
Legion of Honor, the enemy has
something like 2,5OO,OOO men
on the west front. America has
nearly a million men in Europe
now and the forecast is for two
million by the end of the year.
From this it is easy to surmise
why the kaiser is anxious to
end the war this summer if he
can. He sees his doom in the
days to come and is doing all
the shooting possible while he
still has a chance. But he is
reducing his manpower with
each move and gets nowhere.
The allied force on the other
hand is being augmented stead
lily and swiftly by the arrival
of Americans. The allied
is rising, the kaiser's
is waning. The longer
the war the more certain an
allie dtriumph.
