ANXIOUS TO END WAR
Washington, Dec. 14.—The Allied Embassies this after.
I owed it to become known that the Allies will make rep'
ms to Germany with a view to securing .terms of
which might form a basis for opening peace negotiations.
Berlin, Dee. 15.—Even should the Allies reject the Ger-
an proposals without interchange of ideas, Germany will
it cease efforts to end the war, according to opinion express-
in high political circles today.
The omission of terms in the German proposals is held in
jte uarters to have been intentional, the object being to
'fi the Allies an opportunity to exchange notes.
On the fighting fronts everywhere except in Rumania
1 along both banks of the Meuse, only bombardments and
or operations are being carried out.
London, Dec. IS.—Premier Brattiano of Rumania has re-
ted, according to dispatches from Jassy, the temporary seat
government.

Destroyed by Fire.
Awakened by flames that appar
ently filled the entire room, Abe
Slater, colored, made a desperate
effort to escape the place, a two-
room house adjoining the Central
Grocery Company, failed and was
burned to death early this morning.
The tragedy occurred between 12
and 1 o’clock. An alarm was turned
by young Ur. Parker, member of the
firm of V. C. Parker and Co., -build
era of the Central Grocery Com
pany’s new warehouse, who discov
ered the blaze. While the fire fight
ers responded quickly to the call
and easily extinguished the blaze,
the grim reaper already had called.
The body of Slater was found at
the door of the shanty, indicating
that the occupant of the room had
made A desperate fight for his life.
The head and lower limbs of the
dead man were entirely burned.
There Is no certain information
as to how the fire started, but it ii
assumed that Slater, who is more or
less addicted to drink, had acquir
ed whiskey and was under its in
fluenee. It is considered likely
that fire was started from pipe or ci
gar.
Slater has been with Parker and
Company for fifteen years. He was
well liked, and, except for occasion-
drinking was regarded aa a de
pendable worker. His home was in
Waycross, to whi h point his body
will.be shipped. No inquest will be

Material things deceive us, hut the
life which Mrs. Walker lived hat
now.passed into the abiding treas*
urehouse of the things which arc
demonstrable, real and eternal.
Earth has no vocabulary in which
can be set forth adequately the real
potentiality* in such a life
hers. It is enough for mo to say
“She waa my cousin and I loved
her."‘She was not only the friend of
a favored few, moving-in a brilliant
circle of Christian culture nd re
finement of which she was he cen
tral sun, but she was a friend of the
poor, the crushed, the forsaken; and
as such her spirit shone with brighter
lustre as its rays reflected the light
of the glorified countenance of Ihc
Son of God.
In her home her influence was
like precious ointment poured forth
Her touch gave to her domestic du
ties a magical charm and life She
was so delicately strung H to be a
! great sufferer. Her true worth, only
the God of heaven really knew.
Her life was. one ceaseless devo
tion-devotion to her husband; to
her parents; to her home, and tc
her God; and the’ spirit of-an
abiding youth was upon her, so
that it was very fitting that
we let her body begin its resting
amid the unfolding floral beauty of
the springtime. In her woman-form
of mereiful ministry, the community
where aha lived has felt the '.touch m
of an angel frem heaven. To me
she was an ideal woman. She heark
ened to the voteee that whisper in the
soul. She took hold upon the duty
which by nearest her hand sad in sc
doing God enlarged her sphere of
usefulness till he made her life, hef
death and her uafolding immortal
ity.
“She hath done what she could;”
henceforth her tender ministries to
ua who are left dull be told
mortal of her.
