THE COOPER WEEKLY REVIEW
THE JOTS OF GIVING
ENGLAND SAYS TERMS
*MUST BE DEFINITE.
The Supreme satisfaction of
knowing that you have made
some one happy with a remem-
berance of some kind, coupled
with the joy of being remember-
ed, makes Christmas time a hap-
py time. Monday is Christmas;
make some one happy. We have
many desirable gifts in both toys
and useful presents.
We Wish You a
Merry Christmas
May Old Santa bring lots of
cheer and happiness to you and
yours; may this be the happiest
Christmas you have ever spent,
and may your next be the hap-
piest of all.
London, Dec. 19.—The allies will
not treat Germany for peace until
Germany formally states the terms
upon which her peace proffer is bas-
ed.
A formal note to this affect will
be sent to Germany within a few
days.
Premier Lloyd-George announced
such a rejection of Imperial Chancel-
lor von Bethmann-Holwegg’s peace
offer of a week ago in a epoch-mak-
ing speech in the House of Commons
this afternoon.
He formally stated that England
indorsed the rejection of the German
peace terms, as had been done by
Russia and by France. He character-
ized the Teuton offer as a “noose” of
rope in which the allies were asked to
place their necks.
An imperial conference with Brit-
ish dominions on the war was an-
nounced as planned by the Premier.
The Premier emphasized the unity
of the allies by declaring that each
had arrived at the decision to reject
the German proposal independently.
His terms or rejection of Germany’s
offer were couched in bitter irony.
Must Have Reparation.
“Without reparation peace is im-
possible,” he declared at one junc-
ture. “All the outrages on the land
and sea can not be liquidated by a
few pious phrases about humanity.”
“The allies insist that the only end
of the war must be complete guaran*
tee against Prussian militarism dis-
turbing the peace of Europe,” he de-
clared.
Lloyd-George spoke of Germany as
“swashbuckling through the streets
of Europe,” and bitterly pointed out
her “broken faith.”
At the outset the Premier declared
the speech of the Imprial German
Chancellor and the note which Eng-
land had later received “afforded
small hope for an honorable and last-
ing settlement.”

banquet at the Garrard hotel Wednes-
day night. The boys of this year’s
squad were all present except two
who were absent on account of sick
ness, and several of the boys of last
year’s team and players of other
years were on hand. Also Profs. O.
R. Bridges, Elmer Millsap and Stev-
enson, coaches of the team who have
done so much -to build up a strong
team and helped create a strong
school spirit among the boys,
twenty-eight plates were laid. The
dining room was decorated in the col-
ors of the school, and C. C. McKinney
presided as toastmaster and in his
accustomed easy way called on the
speakers of the evening who vied with
each other in praising the boys for
their splendid record achieved this
year as well as last.
Washington, Dec. 19. — Lloyd
George’s request for Germany’s offi- H
cial peace terms will be answered by F|
Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg on jj
condition that they be kept secret by »
the British government, is the opinion
expressed in well-informed German g
circles here this afternoon.
Those Teutonic officials interview- J
ed are inclined to be optimistic, They
consider Lloyd-George’s statement a
plain indication England is willing to
listen to further negotiations.
Germany probably would have no
objection to defining the terms on
which she is willing to begin a peace
discussion,” it was flatly declared.
The opinion was expressed that
both sides probably will wish the
terms kept secret until an agreement
is reached or the conference proved a
failure.
Since any terms announced could
not be those finally agreed upon, both
sides would escape the danger of be-
ing charged with “backing down” if
the original terms were not made
public, it is pointed.
The danger of England publishing'
Germany’s terms as long as there is
therefore consideted slight.
