The Effect in England.
London, Dec. 13.-lSpecinl)-A
strong current of public sentiment op
posed to Germany's peace proposa is
evident in the expressions of public
men and the press, although there
was no word from high authoritative
sources indicating the governments
attitude. The proposal did not create
profound impressions and was scarce
ly discussed in hotels or other public
places, and government circles held
aloof from discussing it. The foreign
office would make no comment, but
indicated the British attitude is cm
bodied in the declarations from time
... .:.., i.v fni-mpr Premier Asouitii
III Ulliv .v ...
and Viscount Grey, and that any new
proposals would have to be considered
l.v nil entente allies before a definite
attitude is possible.
Those close to the government said
the proposal would prove entirely un
acceptable, mainly because they were
not likelv to touch what the authori
ties regard as guarantees against
German militarism that will permit
England and franco and their allies
i ,i.,n,n).nli(. (heir vast armies, re
duce the enormous military expenses
and return to lasting peace condi
tions.
The Marquis of Londonderry said:
Vi.ive p-ot to win this war. Peace

is only a question of time and we will
win out absolutely.
Sir Gilbert Parker, after talking
with colleagues in the house of com
mons, said: "It is clearly a political
maneuver to impress the world as a
dramatic stroke, but having little

the curbing ot licrman militarism i
resumption of the present conflict
will be imr ssible."

fending their national soil.
A proposition to this effect has just
"oen prepared by the General Council
of the Department of the Meuse and
and will soon be submitted to the
French government. The plan is to
buy the battle-ground from the far
mers. Should this plan be finally ac
cepted future generations not only
of France but of the entire world,
would always have the opportunity
of visiting the line of trenches over
fiOO kilometers in length on which the
French threw back the tide of Gcr-
man invasion at the battle of the ,
Marne and which till the end of the '
war will always remain the basis of ,
i France's military effort to rid her j
! .
soil entirely of the enemy.
The immediate land through which
these long lines of trences run, to
gether with the battlefields of the
Somme, of Artois and of Champagne
will, it is believed, never again be
rendered cultivable. Aside from the
deep trenches and bayous, the ground
has been so pitted with shell holes to
a depth varying from a few to fifteen
feet, and all the upper stratagem
soil on which fertility depends so com
pletely wiped out, that little if any
use could ever be made of the ground
for agricultural purposes for years
to come.
I Depend on 1 his i
licsidos the producers guarantee
that "A Bluebird must be good to be
a Bluebird," as expressed in a general
way, there have been established sev
eral reasons why '"Love Never Dies,"
the Bluebird photoplay to be exhibited
at the Sherry theatre may be accepted
in advance as the best screen enter
tainment of the week.
