Fifty-third and Walnut streets, West
Philadelphia, by the police today witli

There were eonflietins; reports as to

May ltccovcr.
Dr. John Wnnamaker, a police sur
Keon, said cursory examination of
Thaw's wounds indicated he hud fair
chance to recover.. His wrists were
hacked several times with a razor, it
was believed, and there were two
sjashes in his throat. Dr. Kiiby later
confirmed Dr. Wanamaker's state
ment. He said Thaw was semi-con-'scious
nnd highly nervous.
f hnw was removed from the house
shortly before it o'clock. A small
crowd that had learned of the aliair
pothered nnd were rewarded by secinu
Thaw carried out on a stretcher, lie
was completely covered with a blan
ket and was placed in an ambulance
for the five-mile journey to the insti
tution.
The house where Thaw was found
is a two-story dwelling, and accordin;
to the police is occupied by Mrs. KHz
aheth Tacot. It was said by the po
lice that her husband is in the
French army.
It was reported, but not confirmed,
that Thaw had been in the house
three hours before he was removed.
Vnder I'nlso Name.
According to Lieutenant of l)etee-j
lives Wood, who led the squad ol
men who went to make the arrest,
Thaw had engaged a room under the
name of West. Wood said that Sam
jicl Moloney, a private' detective for
tho Thaw family, notified detective
headquarters this morning he had
made arrangements to turn Thaw
over to New York detectives today.
Thaw, Wood said, had been drinking,
and Moloney wonted to set him in
shape to be taken to New York.
Moloney, according to Wood, asked
for a detail of men, which was imme
diately furnished, nnd when the
sqund reached the house they found
Thaw on n cot in the dining room. lie
was unconscious. Two physicians
who lived nearby and who had been
summoned by telephone, were working
over him.
Razor and Poison.
Wood said Mrs. Tacot, having fail
ed to get any word from Thaw when
she called him this morning, entered
the room and found him lying on the
bed and almost, covered with blood.
After a consultation of physicians, it
was agreed among them that Thaw's
condition was not critical and he was
moved to the hospital.
In the room Thaw occupied were
found a bottle of poison tablets and a
razor.
Later information from the hospi
tal, is that Thaw cut only one wrist.
Dr. Kirby late this afternoon said
that Thnw had partiolly revived. His
mind is wandering nnd he appeared to
he suffering either from drugs or the
after-effects of drinking. Dr. Kirby
said. He is in no condition to talk.
Tno detectives are guarding him.

GEORGEASSERTS
British Premier Declares That Ger
man Emperor Told His People That
Allies Rejected Peace in Order to
Drug Those He Could No Longer
Dragoon No Peace Offer Made.
LONDON, .Ian. 11. Premier l.loyd
(leoinc. speaking in the Cillild Hall
this afternoon, said Kmperor Wil
liam had told his people that the en
tente allies had rejeetetl his peace of
fer; The emperor did so, he said, to
drvtb those whom he could no longer
droKopn.. "We had rejected no peace
terms," the premier said, and added:
"We were not offered terms, tint n
trap baited with fine words. It would
suit Oennany to have peace now on
hoc own terms. We all wont peace,
hut it must be a real one."
Homo (onfci'enre.
The premier said the allies were
of the opinion that war was prefera
ble to Prussian domination over Eu
rope. The allies, had made that clear,
ho said, in their reply to Germany,
and clearer still in their reply to
America.
Tho Home conference was under
no delusions, Jlr. l.loyd George con
tinued, as to the magnitude of the
task of the allies, but felt no doubts
as to the results. Tho wholo situa
tion was probed, the difficulties were
faced and arrangements were made
to denl with them. All the allies
felt, lie declared, that if victory was
difficult, defeat impossible.
The premier said that the grim
resolution or the entente allies at the
recent conference in Kome was. that
at all Coats they much achieve the
high aim which was before them
when they accepted the challenge of
tho "Prussian military caste" to rid
the world "forever of its menace and
save Kurope from unspeakable des
potism." Still Controls Sen.
The premier said the navy had
strangled the commcrco of Great
Britain's enemies nnd would continue
to do so, despite "all piratical de
vices of the enemy."
With proper support at hand, he
continued, tho armies would cleave
the road to victory during 1917. The
liest security for future peace, Mr.
Lloyd George said, would be obtained
when nations banded themselves to
gether to punish the peace breaker.
Mr. l.loyd George turned to tho
question of the German peace offer
saying:
Xo Pence Offered.
"The kaiser sent out a message
to his people that the entente had
rejected his peace offer. That was
done to drug those whbm he had
been unable to dragoon. Hut where
are actually the German peace of
l'ers? The allies asked them, but
the Germans did not offer any terms
They offered only a trap, painted
with fair words. Such words tempt
ed us once, hut the lion now has his
eyes open.
We have rejected no terms, but
we have seen that war Is better than
peace at the price of Prussian domi
nation over Kurope. The allies have
made clear In their reply to Ger
many and still clearer in their re
ply to the United States that before
they attempt to rebuild the temple of
peace, they must see that the founda
tions are solid."

Entente Answer to Peace Note
Reaches Capitol and Is Being De
codedReported of Friendly and
Courteous Nature General and
Guarded in Character.
WASHINGTON. Jon. 11. The en
tente reply to President Wilson's
pence note began arriving this morn
ing'at the state department. As fast
as it was decoded it was loitl before
l'rc.-idcnt Wilson nnd Secretary Lan
sing. One neiitrol diplomat had informa
tion from a source he considered re
liable thof the note would be of o
friendly nnd courteous nature, but
would be tif such a character that it
could not be accepted by the central
powers without modification, but
would not preclude another move by
the president, should he choose to
make it the occasion for one.
Another Move Likely.
Well-informed sources which some
time ago let it be known that at least
mother move was contemplated, un
derstood today that the president
would nut abandon his efforts for
peace unless the reply was something
wholly unexpected.
The utmost secrecy was maintain
ed at the state department, but the
impression prevailed that while the
entente has been perfectly clear in
stating its position, the door to p. "ice
hod not been utterly barred.
In other quarters it was pointed out
ilu.t whether Picsident Wilson dl
take a further step depends not alone
on the actual terms of the note its.'ll,
ij..t also on his estimate of the -i'li
o!:ou and confidential ad'.iccs from
oiiroad.
Pence IWin.s Outlined,
LONDON, Jan. II. Il has been
learned by the Associated Press that
the entente reply to President Wilson
miikes specific designation of its
terms oi' peace, whieli ineludes the
restoration of lielgimn, of Serbia and
Montenegro and complete reparation
tor the damage they sustained ami
(he eva'Miation of the invaded terri
tories of Kranee, Kussia and Ku
niania, with sueb reparation ns is
eonsidered just. The terms also re
quire the liberation of Italians, Slavs,
liumnninns and Czech Slavs from
foreign domination.
The retirement of the Turkish em
pire from Kurope also is required.
The terms provide lor the reorgan
ization of Kurope, guarantees by a
stable regime and founded upon the
respective nationalities and the full
liberty and seeuritv of all great and
small nations.
Turkey Must Go.
While Alsace-Lorraine and the
Italian Tyrol are not specifically
named, yet the terms require the res
titution of territories previously sev
ered from allied nations hy force or
contrary to the wishes of their pop
ulations. This is considered clearly
to refer to Alsace-Lorraine and the
Italian Tyrol.
While Uussia's claim to Constanti
nople is not specifically alluded to
the Turkish clause is considered indi
rectly to mean the replacement of
Turkey bv b'ussia at the Dardan
elles. ' . '
The assurances of Kmperor Nicho
las of Kussin concerning Poland are
