Londfn, Jab. 8, 10:40 a. m.—The reply of the En- tente to the peace proposals, of the _ Céntral powers is described at great fength this morning by the news- papers, which base their remarks on the unofficial press version of the note, as received here from French sources. The newspapers are unanimous in saying the answer of the Entente'is only what was to be expected in view of utterances of statesmen of the hos- tile nations.: The opinion is expressed that the note was addressed less to the Central Power than to the people of the En- tente countries and to neutrals. Hence, the strong declamatory lan- guage calculated, according to the German opinion, further to inflame passions against the Teutonic -allies. In particular it is declared the sec- tion devoted to Belgium is intended to bury it under a thousand arguments In general the answer is regarded as the stiffest and most brusque possible, and to be couched in insult- ing and calumniating terms never be- fore seen in an international docu- . ment. All the newspapers agree that the only answer the Central Powers can give is with the sword, that the war be continued. until the Allies sue far peace. Only a few newspapers see even a faint hope that peace still may be at- tainable within a reasonable time. Curiously enough the super-nationalist paper, the, German Taeglische Rund- schau, maintains a feeble show of op- timism, saying: “The thought of peace is not quenched by this rg!ectlonf' But even this utterance is qualified by the explanation that peace can come only through failure of the Entente plans of conquest and the crushing of Ger- many. The Tageblatt belleves that the idea of peace retains its vitality, saying: “Even though the attempts be made to bury under a thousand arguments, peace will continue to rise up mightier than ever after every failure to achieve expected victory.” The soclalist newspaper Vorwaerts, which has been the leading peace organ of Germany for many months, still holds that the policy of attempt- ing to find new means of terminating the war must continue but that the de- fense of the country must go on with- out flagging. It contends that the re- sponsibility for continuance of the war rests with the Entente. ' | - CASTORIA The Kind You Have Always Boagt Bears the fignature of YOUR NECKWEAR ALWAYS. AT AMERICA IN LEAD Cargoes ‘Valued at More Than $3,000,000,000 During 1916 New York, Jan. —From the United States in 1916 manufactures were exported topa, value greater than the value of manufactures ex- ported from any other country in any year. A compilation issued yes- terday by the Foreign Trade depart- ment of the National City bank showed that the year’s total exceeded $3,000,000,000 as against $2,012,000.= 000, the highest export record ever made by Great Britain formerly the world’s largest exporter of manufac- tures. England’s record was made in 1913 the year immediately preceding the war. * Prior to the war the United States held third rank. Commenting on the showing made, the. bank’s statement said: “Even prior to the war our own share in the world’s exportation of manufactures was gaining more rap- idly than those of the other great ex- porters. Great Britain'’s exports of manufacturés grew from $1,140,000,- 000,000 in 1903 to $1,681,000,090 in an increase of approximately 77/ per cent. those of Germany from $784,- 000,00 in -0193 to $1,681,000,000 in 1913, an increase of 115 ver cent.; those of France from $470,000,000 in 1903 to $772000,000 in 1913, an in- crease of 65 per cent.; while those of the United States grew from $468,- 000,000 in 1903 ‘to $1,185,000,000 in 1913, an increase of 153 per cent. “It is, however, since the beginning | of the war that the United States has made her great increase. in the exportation of manufactures which amounted in the calendar year 1914 to $974,000,000, in 1915 to $1,784.. 000,000, and 1916 will approximate $23,200,000,000, this estimate being based upon actual figures of the De- partment of Commerce for ten months ending with October, and the figures of the Port of New York for November and December. Our total exports of manufactures in 1916 are | given in the suit of John A. more than three times as much as in 1914 and 80 per cent. greater than in 1915. “The growth in exports since the beginning of the war is of course due in a considerably degree to the de- mands for strictly war material, ex- plosives alone being for 1916 ap- proximately $675,000,000, brads tubes for the manufacture of shells $225,- 000,000; while in many other articles, such as'automobiles and various ar- ticles of iron and steel, there is also a large increase, though just what proportion of the growth is due to the demands, of the war can only be ‘es- timated. Of iron and steel manufac~ tures of all kinds the exports of the full year show a total of approximate- ly $900,000,000 against $200,000,000 in 1914.” : In the view of the bank. the ex- periences of the year just ended dem- onstrated the ability of the manu- facturers of the United States to sup- ply a much larger proportion of the manufactures entering world con- sumption than they have in the past. since the total value of the manufac- tures which they exported in 1916 was approximately 40 per cent. of the total manufactures entering in- ternational trade in normal years as against approximately 15 per cent. which this country’s manufacturers supplied in the year just preceding the war. The report showed that prior to the war the . percentage . which manufactures formed of the domes- tic exports of Great Britain was 79 per cent, Germany, 67 per cent, France, 58 per cent. and of the United States 47 rer cent. Manufactures formed 16 per cent. of American do- mestic exports in 1880, 21 per cent. in 1890, 35 per cent. in 1900, 45 per cent. in 1910, 49 per cent. in 1913, and approximately 66 per cent. in 1916.

Setting aside military considerations, and basing one’s theory purely on economic grounds, it is evident we are within measurable distance of the limit of endurance of their much- suffering peoples. “It is plainly apparent to any one who has made a study of the econom- ic conditions in Germany and in the dual monarchy that the peace offer made in the middle of December was chiefly prompted by the knowledge that relief must come within six months from the present time at the outside if internal troubles of the most serious character are to be avoided. In Austria-Hungary the available stocks of food will not even last for six months. “But supposing, by imposing priva- tions on the people, the authorities should succeed in quieting them until the end of June, how is the popula- tion—increased, it must be borne in mind, by some 26,000,000 mouths in the occupied regions—to be fed during the months of July and August? For by that time, according to statisticians, not a grain of wheat or maize will be left, Even if the spoils in Rumania should afford some relief, which is a most questionable supposition, there will thus be two months ta be bridged over before the earliest.crops can be harvested, and in that period starva- tion on a scale hitherto unknown in the world, save perhaps in India, will present itself. “When it comes to that, 6f course, peace will have to be madé on any terms. The feeding of the army is the main concern of the Central Empires, not that of the population, as may be imagined;. yet even this cannot be managed for more than another six months, even allowing for the fact i that the Austro-Hungarian farces be- hind the front are on half rations and that very soon, in all probability, the then on the western front will fare no better. The fact is, the time has come when the question of feeding even the army gives rise to the gravest apprehension. Although the _peas- antry and land owners have been #ripped of everything in the way of cereals, the army has not enough food to carry it through the winter. Local authorities in different districts have petitioned the government to supply food for distribution among the poar, but the government can do nothing, for the military authorities are su- preme. “Flven if a peace conference were it 1s.not at all probable that the blockade would be rdised in the mean- time, that is to say, while negotia- tions were in progress. “Under these circumstances, the Central Powers have but a very limited time in which to bring about Geolect Get the Round Package Used for ¥3 Century. 7\ CavTion vold Substitutes/S Ask For and GET HORLICK'S THE ORIGINAL MALTED MILK Made tract of from clean, rich milk with the ex- select malted grain, malted in our own Malt Houses under sanitary conditions.
