THE WAR SITUATION.
There is little to report from the
seat of war this week. On the west-
enr front the Germans have been
sending out a few patrols to raid por-
tions, • of the British and French tren-
ches, but these patrols which con-
sist of from forty to 'a hundred men,
having been meeting with such warm
receptions, in some cases being practi-
cally- annihilated, that even this mea-
gre fighting has been discontinued. Of
course, things may break out from
either side at any time, but just now
it would appear that every effort is
being bent towatds laying up stores
whieh badatonce keen accorded.
The Central- Empires- then rejected
all atteitipts made by the Entente to
bring about a pacific solution of a
purely local confliets Great Brittin

posed an, international cominiesion;
the Emperer of Russia asked the

man Emperor, to go to arlatrat
• and Russia and A.uttria-Hung
oarne to an understanding on the
of the conflict But to all these
forts Germany gave neither ans
nor .effect. •
Belgium was invaded by an ern, ire
which, had guaranteed her neutra ity
and which had the assurance to to-
elaim that treaties. were "scraps 'of
paper," and that "necessity knows no
law." •,
At the present moment these sit ni

represents nothing more than a su er-
flog and passing phase of the sit'11-
tion and. not the real strength of be

on these terns would be only to the
advantage of the aggressors, who,
•after imagining that they would teach
their goal in two months, discovered
after two years that they could ew-
•er attain it. .
As for the future, the disasters
caused by the German declittstion �f

The text of the Entente repl to the
Teuton peace proposal is as follows:
The allied Governments of Belgium,
France, Great. Britain, Italy, Japan,
Montenegro, Portugal, Romania, Rus-
eia and Serbia, united for the defence
• of liberty of their peoples and faithful
to engagements taken not to lay down
their arms separately, have resolved
to reply collectively to the pretended
propositions of peace which were ad-
dressed to them on behalf of the ene-
my Governments through the inter-
mediary of the Unite& States, Spain,
Switzerla.nd and Holland.
Before making any reply, the allied
powers desire particularly to protest
against the two essential assertions of
the notes of the enemy powers that
pretend to throw upon the allies re-
• sponsibility for the war and proclair.
the victory of the Central Powers.
The allied Governments cannot admit
en affirmation doubly inexact and
which suffices to render sterile all ten-
tative negotiations. The allied mations
have sustained for thirty months a
war they did everything to avoid.
They have shown by their acts their
attachment to peace. That attach-
ment is as strong today as it was in
1914. But it is not upen the word of
Germany, after the violations of its
engagements, that the peace brok-
en by her may be based.
A• mere suggestion without a state-
ment of terms, that negotiations
should be opened, is not an offer of
peace. • The putting forward by the
Imperial Government of a sham pro-
posal lacking all substance and pre-
cision would appear to be less an offer
of peace than a war manoeuvre. It is
founded on miscalculated interpreta-
tion of the character of the struggle
in the past, the present and the fu-
ture.
As for the past, the German note
takes no account of the facts, dates,
and figures which establish that the
war was desired, provoked and declar-
ed by Germany and Austria-Hungary
At the Hague Conference it was a
German delegate who refused all pro-
posals for disarinamnt. In July, 1914,
it was Austria-Hungary, who, after
having addressed to Serbia, an unpre-
ted ultimatum declared war up-
- J,. in spite of the .satisfaction
Reichstag, the German Chancellor ad-
mitted that this aggression constitut-
ed an injustice, contrary to the laws
nations, and ,pledged himself in the
r ame of Germany to repair it. Daring
two andm half years this injustice has
_been cruelly aggravated by the pro-
ceedings of the occupying forces,which
have exhausted the resources of the
country runied its industries, devastat-
ed its towns and villages, and have
heen responsible for innumerable meg-,
seers, executions and imprisonments.
At this very moment,while Germany
is proclaiming peace and humanity to
•the world, she is deporting Belgian cit-
izerie by thousands and reducing them
to slavery. •
Belgium before the war asked for
nothing but to live in harmony vith
her neighbors. Her King and her
ernment have but one aim -the ressa-
lablishment of peace and justice. But
they only desire peace which would as-
sure te their country legitimate repar-
ation, guarantees and safeguards for
I he future.

•-WHY FOOD IS I EAR
When the householder sits down to
his Christmas dinner he naturally re-
flects on the message of. the Yuletide
season, peace on earth, good will to
men. He asks himself what the Bor-
den Goverment was doing to imple-
ment the glad tidings. What about
this peace on earth if all the pieces
go to the profiteers? •How about the
good will to men if the Borden Gov-
• ernment shows it only to a favored,
few?

is a dearer land to live in than crowd-
