BONAR LAW SPOKE AS
GEORGE STILL INDISPOSED
LONDON, Dec. 15.—Supplement
ary estimates filed today by the
Treasury provide for an additional
one million men of all ranks.
Lloyd George did not speak at all.
He is still unwell but is recovering.
Bonar Law confined his address to
the financial side of the war, inti
mating that as yet the government
was not prepared to announce its
fiscal policy which however he warn
ed the people would be drastic and
extremist without fear or favor. He
said that the War Council and Ca
binet had finally evolved plans
whereby the war could be extended
without regard to the financial end,
indefinitely. It was no wizard plan
making wealth grow over night, but
it would be necessary to make the
wealth of the country pay for the
expenses of a war in whose benefit
the wealth of the country shared
more abundantly.
Bonar Law merely reiterated As
quith's declaration that adequate re
paration would be required of Great
Britain’s enemies, and a guarantee
for the future security of the worlo
against military aggression. He cau
tioned the Commons to await official
action in the matter of peace propo
sals which he said whether given in
good faith or not, would receive the
careful attention of His Majesty'j
government.
Reginald M’Kenna, the spokesman
for the retiring ministry, compli
mented Law on his address. M’Ken
na emphasized the importance of
the result of this war to America as
Great Britain would have to pay in
dollars throughout the world.
The sessions of the Lords and
Commons created a great stir r.n
Thursday as it initiated the new go
ernment. The excitement was great
est in the Commons but the utter
ances of Law in the absence of
George were strictly confined to the
business on hand with no dwelling
on the peace situation at all.

MARKET OPENED STRONGER
SELLING TENDENCY FEATORE
NEW YORK, Dec. 15.—The market
opened today with a strong selling
tendency, the characteristic feature
of war stocks which declined on an
average 27 points. An effort upon
the part of great financial interests
who bought for investment purposes
to stem the tide of decline in Bethle
hem and other steel stocks could not
withstand the selling pressure that
manifested itself.
The selling tendency reached a
heightened point when it was form
ally announced on the stock exchange
that Washington had received the
Official note. Once again the extra
ordinary panic that manifested itself
on the first announcement of the
peace proposals was seen.
On the other hand industries that
have somewhat languished during
the war showed a healthier vigor,
and this is especially the case in
sente varieties of textiles and lumber
concerns.
In addition the reports
of peace struck solar plexus blows
at the new dye companies many of
which could find no buyers at any
figure.
Towards the close of the day with
the text of the speeches of Briand
and Bonar Law coming via the
ReuterVgencies from Europe, trad
ing became brisker and war stocks
showed a strong rally.
Experts say that should Wilson
deliver a* optimistic statement as to
the possibilities of peace, the situa
tion would be tomorrow intolerable.
The whole street is in a ferment of
excitement and trading is hardly
confined to regular ’change hours.
With the prospect of peace should
it be assured, there will be a terrific
killing.
