halted the German offensive in the Pre'
morzany region fifty miles south of Lem
berg. Counter attacks have alsoenablef
the Rumanians to regain several import
ant positions which were taken by the
Teutonic armies last week. The battles
are proceeding with the snow falling
heavily, especially in the mountain dis
tricts.
London— Dispatches from Amsterdam

! are authentic. Germany proposes to re
I lease Belgium and Northern France, de
mands that Poland and Lithuania be rec
1 ognized as independent kingdoms, that
! all German colonies be restored and that |
; the f..te of the Balkans be left to a geu
I eral peace conference. The proposals
j mean practically that all of the nations
involved in the war will be left about as
j they were when the struggle began.
Paris—The reconstruction of the French
! cabinet has been completed and the names
of the members w ill be announced w ithin
the next day or two.
Warsaw: Archduke Charles Stephen,
of Austria, has been selected for the po
J sition of regent of Poland, with the pros
pect of being tlected king at a later date.
, London—Ad vices from Copenhagen are
to the effect that dispatches received at
that place from Switzerland state that
King Constantine has oidered a general
mobilization of Greek troops.
Paris: French newspapers declare the
German peace offer is mere talk intended
to arouse s\ mpathy for the German cause
and to lead the German people to believe
that they are engaged in a defensive cam
; pai.gn against armies which refuse quar
ter.
London: The attitude of the British
government on the German peace move
will be made public just as soon as the
Entente powers have had sufficient time <
to consider the proposal. Newspapers
and public men generally refuse to take
the German offer seriously.
Paris—It is almost certain that, as a j
result of the reorganization of the French
cabinet, General Joffre will be retired as
commander of the French armies. It is
believed that Petain, the hero of Verdun,
will get the place. Joffre will be asked
to sit in the new war council.
New York—Germany’s offer to talk
j peace with the entente powers has had
j the effect of knocking the bottom from
| war stocks. Steel fell from ten to fifteen
| points on the first flash from Berlin and 1
wheat has dropped from three to six !
cents. The wildest confusion prevails on ;
the market.
i
London: The Times says that “Ger-1
many’s proposals bear no relation to the
objects for which we are fighting.” Thej
Dailv- Mail declares that the Allies will |
not be caught by the kaiser’s ‘‘white
whiskered device.” The Chronicle ob
serves that ‘‘Germany can have peace at
any time or. our terms.”
Washington, U. C.: It is regarded here 1
as highly improbable that the Entente ■
powers will consider the kaiser’s offer of i
peace on the terms which he liasoutlined.
There are many neutral and German dip
lomats who declare that regardless of the ;
acceptance or rejection of the peace offer, !
Germany has made a master move in ;
world politics.
Berlin: The war office announces that
fighting is in progress between Greek
regular troops and French marines. The
overseas agency also announces that the

near Katerina, 65 miles southwest of
Salotiiki, where the French have n force
of 5000 men. The town of Katerina, lo
cated on the Gulf of Saloniki, isreported
to have been captured by the Greeks.
London: The Entente powers are not
inclined to regard the German peace pro
posal seriously.” One prominent govern
ment official has expressed himself ns
l>eing very skeptical that the proposed
plan of settlement would offer even a
basis for negotiations. The belief pre
vails here that the kaiser is trying to
shift the responsibility for the continua
tion of the war onto the Allies by pro
posing terms he knows will not be con
sidered.
New York: The German offer of peace
comes two years and 133 days after the
kaiser declared war on Russia, and two
years 129 days after England declared
war on Germany. The allies hold the
western end of Alsace-Lorraine, half ol
Galicia, all of Bukowina, Trentino, the
western border of the Istrian peninsula
north of the city of Trieste, northeastern
Armenia and part of Mesopotamia. The
Central powers hold northeastern France,
all of Belgium, Poland and Lithuania,
more than halt of Rumania, all of Serbia
and Montenegro, nearly all of Albania,
part of Persia and Egypt, and some of
Greek Macedonia, although Greece is
not yet involved in the war. Germany
has lost ail her overseas possessions.

rneiit.

ceived from Germany be transmitted im
mediately to the Entente powers.

ber of deputies Premier Briand has sound
ed a warning against Germany's peace

that a force of six thousand Albanians
has defeated the Italian troops in the
neighborhood of Pastiesina. The Italians
are now retreating.
London: According to a statement by
Sir Bonar Law in the house of commons,
the war is costing England $28,550,000 a
day.
London: The government is preparing
a call for one million additional men for
service at the front (luring the fiscal year.
The original estimate was for four million
men, but the new cabinet has decided to
increase the number.
London: Robett Cecil is authority for
the statement that the Allies are about to
make additional demands upon Greece,
and it is understood that failure on the
part of that government to comply will
be followed by a bombardment of the
Greek coast.
London: Advices received from Am
sterdam state that the Austrian cabinet
has resigned and that a new cabinet is
being formed by Alexander Spixmueller.
The resignations are regarded here as
an indication of the domestic unrest in
Austria-Hungary and others of the Cent
ral powers which prompted the peace
proposals.
Washington, D. C.: Representatives
of the Allied governments have let it be
come known that their governments will
make presentations to Germany with a
view to securing terms of peace which
might form a basis for opening peace ne
gotiations. The reply to the German
proposal will be simple, merely asking
the kaiser to state what he wants.

investigations, which will be started in
New York and Detroit next week. The
inquiry will be extended to other sections

! Washington, D. C.—Admiral Fletcher,
in a statement made before the house
naval committee, advocated an enormous
increase in the power and speed of battle
cruisers. He declared that Japan is con
structing more powerful battleships than
have yet been planned by the United
States, and that the people of this coun
try do not realize their danger any more
than a babe standing in the path of an
onrushing train.
