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.

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 held.

Earth has no vocabulary in which can be set forth adequately the real potentiality* in such a life hers.
