ENGLAND TO FIGHT TO A FINISH
U BOAT CONTROVERSY LIKELY PROVE SERIOUS
PAGE HANDS PLANS
TO ENTENTE POWERS
LONDON, Dec. 19.—Ambassador
Page yesterday formally handed to
the British government the Teutonic
peace proposals.
The presentattion was made with
out any comment upon the part of
the United States good or bad, fav
orable or unfavorable and was re
ceived in the same manner. It is
now receiving the attention of the
cabinet.
PKTROGRAD, Dec.
19.—The
Council of the Empire by a unanim
ous vote favors a categorical refusal
of Germany’s peace proposal.
This action follows the Duma re
solution not to receive any peace
proposals from Germany or her Al
lies at this time.
LONDON, Dec. 19.—It is known
here that practically all the Allies
will favor a positive and definite re
jection of the German peace propo
sals. The idea that peace is not
however possible, would be far from ]
correct. A more specific statement'
from Germany would beyond any
question receive more attention.
The indefinite and elastic nature
of the German peace proposals make
it almost certain that they could
not have been considered from the
first, and it is taken for granted
that the main reason for the issue
of these proposals was to secure
neutral sympathy.

Admiralty Announces that seventeen
American muleteers and eleven ot

rined in the Mediterranean.

tleship of the Patrle class in the
Mediterranean.
PARIS, Dec. 19.—The French
Admiraty formally and offically de
nounces as false the loss of a bat
tleship of the Patrie or any other
class in the Mediterranean. The of
ficial statement referring to the re
port emanating from Berlin sources
says that there is not even a grain
of truth in the report.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 19.—
Further particulars are being
awaited of the sinking of the Brit
ish transport with American mule
tenders on board. It is taken foi
granted here that the ship was
warned although the newspaper dis
patches of the British admiralty’s
statement show that there was no
warning given.
The submarine question is likely
to grow acute.

GEORGE MAKES HIS
OWN PEACE REMARKS
LONDON, Dec. 19.—The looked
for George statement came last
night in the Commons when David
Lloyd George in a striking opening
statement referred to the peace pro
posals. He declared that the Allies
did not propose to put their heads
in a noose with Germany holding
the ends of the ropes.
The war he declared will end
when the objects for which, under
God, it is being fought, are attained
This elicited continued and lasting
cheering which stopped the state
ment for many minutes. Resuming
George said that the only basis for
peace is a full guarantee against
Prussian militarism, which would
for ever be prevented from destroy
ing the peace of Europe. The
Prime Minister’s face was tense and
pale when speaking and showed that
his severe cold had not been all
newspaper report.
It is anticipated that the Entente
reply to the German note will be
similar to England's declaration to
day. >
The News calls George too astute
a diplomat to receive proposals all
undefined and thus give the neutral
sympathy in any peace conference to
Germany.
The News is controlled by North
cliffie and is stoutly supporting the
government of the George coalition.
The Morning Post is leading the
opposition to George and is a strong
Tory paper.

CRISIS IS LIKELY IN
SINKING OF COLUMBIAN
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 19.—
The reply of the German Foreign
Minister to the United States note
asking information upon the sinking
of the American steamer Columbian
is awaited with some concern as the
newspaper dispatches show that here
is possible serious complications it
the German reply is as reported.
BERLIN, Dec, 19.—Germany, re~
j plying to the United States interro
j gations concerning the sinking ol
the American steamer Columbian
says in fact and at length that the
Columbian was stopped by a Ger
man U boat, when in the war zone,
searched for contraband, its papers
examined and its cargo list cursorily
gone over.
The steamer was after this exami
nation allowed to proceed, the U boat
officers returning to their ship.
As soon as the Columbian had had
its stoppage released, the steamer
put on full speed and thereupon be
gan sendng out wireless warnings
giving the location of the German
submarine in these calls.
The steamer violated its neutral
ity and was thereupon sunk.
NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—The defi
ant tone taken by Germany in the
sinking of the Columbian, accord
ing to metropolitan papers, is likely
to strain the relations of the United
States with Germany. The situation
is certainly very grave.

WASHINGTON. D. C„ Dec. 19.—
One of the hardest nuts the prepara
tionists and munitionists (where
they are not one and the same
thing) have to crack just now is the
general suggestion, intimation or in
sinuation in all the discussions ot
the proposals by European belliger
ents on both sdes, that a general cl in
armament follow the great war.
With hardly an exception it is
hinted that such would be a most
fortunate outcome, while some of the
belligerents insist that it be tho
only outcome.
The argument is being taken up
by American pacificists to club the
persistent contract seeking agita
tion for an immense militarism for
the United States.
