This note has not | been presented. i The reason for the withholding of the second note is said to be that the | German reply, received in the in-| terim, showed that the German gov- | ernment had not been influenced by | the “misconceptions regarding the purpose and aims of President Wil-| son’s step which (> unfriendly press in | | both camps attributed thereto.” Lansing Refuses to Talk. 1 Washington, Dec. 30.—Secretary | Lansing refused to comment in any | way on the report that a secord ex- ! planatory note had been sent both to | the Central Pawers and the Entente Allies to correct misinterpretatigns of the president’s note calling for peace ! terms. He indicated that under the | Tecent policy of silence adopted by | President Wilson and himself in the | ¥ peace negotiations he would make no | statement either effirming or denying ", such reports. Secretary Lansing also refused to E indicate whether he thought the Ber- the sending abroad for the informa- tion of American diplomats of his statements authorized the day the | note was published. “1t is known that | F‘ ECOND NOTE FROM WILSON IS RECEIVED IN GERMANY; SLAP AT HOSTILE EDITORS AMERICA’S THREE POINTS IN NOTE TO BELLIGERENTS, Washington, Dec. 30.—The American government, it be- came known authoritatively today, believes there are three principal points in its note to the belligerents, and is sur- prised that they have not been more clearly understood, par- ticularly by the press of the Entente Allies. These points, taken in their order of importance from the administration viewpoints are: The fear that the position of neutral nations be ‘ren- dered altogether intolerable’ if 'the war continues. The suggestion that ar- rangements made be as a guarantee against similar con- flicts in the future. The proposal that means the foundation for comparing the concert peace terms of both sides. : The last points has aroused most comment and the first was emphasized by Secretary Lansing’s statement after- wards modified, that the United States itself might be drawing near entrance into the war. The administration, however, it was learned today thought the suggested arrangement to preserve peace in the future would attract more attention among the Antente Allies than it apparently has and furnish a means through which these nations could enter with per- fect propriety into a serious peace discussion. If such an arrangement could be made, the adminis- tration feels there would be no ground for the fear that agree- ments over terms made be- tween the belligerents would not be kept after the present war ends. It was pointed out today that such a fear has been one of the main objections of the Entente Allies to entering into peace discussions. lin report might have arisen out of | Dr. Paul Nathan Sa; t George Clary Pass Away BOTH WERE PROMINENT Was Leading Practitioner a Gen- eration Ago—One a Student, Other a Soldier.

Dr. Andzulatis held a high place in the medical and and had also been a traveler of repu- tation. He was a native of Russia {and was educated in his native land. He studied medicine and was grad- uatgd from the University of St Petersburg at Moscow. Later he studied medicine and surgery on the Continent.

It is long and sets forth again the re- sponsibility of the Central empires for the European conflagration. It insists on legitimate reparations and restitu- tions demanded by the Entente as out- lined by Premier Lloyd George and also says that Germany, by failing to formulate proposals for peace, re- moves in ‘advance any basis for pourpalours, The note seeks to suggest that the l Berlin cabinet, having proclaimed in 1914 its contempt for treaties, cannot { pretend to obtain the same conditions as powers respectful of signatures and | sua rantees.

He satd that guests were housed at the hotel the night following the fire.

NEEBE WOULD LOWER FARES FOR WORKMEN Meriden Senator Would Reduce Rates On Trolley and Steam Lines During Certain Hours. Meriden, Dec. 30.-—Several of the so-called labor bills to come before the genecral assembly for considera- tion will be intreduced by Senator I L. Néebe. These will represent in part the desires of the Connecticut Federation of Labor and othérs will embody Mr. Neebe's own ideas. One of his bills would provide for special rates on trolley and trains for work- men during certain hours of the day. Such legislation, he says, would aid working people who live in suburban sections of a town but who work in the urban districts. The senator will also advocate equitable representation of cities in the assembly and will offer a bill to amend the compensation law so that an injured person under it would get benefits of two-thirds /instead of one- haif.

Underwriters quoted six eight per cent. for insuring cargoes bound to ports of the United King- dom and ten per cent. to Mediterran- ean ports. A few days ago these rates stood at five to eight per cent. The advance was attributed to re- ports that Lamport and Holt line steamer Voltaire now overdue had been captured by the Germans and was preying on allied freighters in the North Atlantic and to the fact that several trans-Atlantic steamers are now overdue on both sides of the ccean. Maritime underwriters admit that they have sustained heavy losses, par- ticularly during the months of Sep- tember, October and November last. e WEATHER.
