Serbians, | TIME FOR ALLIES TO DEFINE PEACE TERMS London Post Declares Victory For En- tente Powers is Assured By British Blockade. London, Nov 9 5 a. m.—Belief that the time has arrived for the allies to begin to define clear and definite terms of peace is expressed by the Post in an editorial article, on the ground that there then will be less chance of losing in negotiations which has been gained on the sea and in the field. The Post contends that without “seil- ing the skin before killing the bear” it may be assumed victory for the allies is assured if only because with- out undue strain, Great Britain could maintain a naval blockade indefinitely and history has shown that such pres- sure alone would in the end secure victory. The newspaper also protests strongly against the treaty of commerce which has negotiated between Great Brit- ain and Denmark permitting commo- dities to be re-exported from Den- mark to neutral or belligerent coun- tries is shipments to belligerents are not contraband. “In other words,” says the Post, “the foreign office ha: created an agency whereby this country may trade with the enemy. This seems to us monstrous.” ADDRESS T0 CONGRESS President Returns to White | House After Trip to New York. | Washington, Nov. 29.—President ‘Wilson returned from New York early today "and immediately went to the | White House and began work on his next annual address to congress.

Female employees of the concern who have worked a similar period of time, will be retired at the age of 60 years. There is but one clause in the rules and regulations, whereby eligible per- sons shall be members of the Lan- ders, Frary & Clark Mutual Benefit association.
