'CLUMSY TRAP", SAYS JOURNAL OF PROPOSALS
PARIS, Dec. 13. "A clumsy trap," la the caption under which the morning papers print Chancellor Von Beth-mann-Hollweg's speech in the Reichstag. "The time for feints is over," says, the Petit Journal. "We are no longer in the presence of the trial efforts of those persistent appeals to interviewers and newspaper articles. 4 Chancellor Von Hollweg summoned , the Reichstag not to hear his speech but to be confronted with an act We do not know If at Berlin there are : people so naive as to imagine that the , allies are likely to swallow this clumsy bait, even on the morrow of the events
; In Roumania. . Cherish No Illusion. Any case Field Marshal Von Hlndenburg's statement shows that the military cherish no Illusion. What Is still more certain is that the treacherhis German move aims at something Tse than genuine peace. It seeks an nternal and external effect In Ger- . nany it. is intended to convince the people that the government Is not responsible for the sacrifices Imposed and that Its adversaries alone are responsible for the continuation of the ; -struggle. ' Aboard It desires to persuade neutrals that the allies are pur
suing a policy or ambition. That Is the explanation of the pretended modaratlon in the tone of the speech. - "The speech merely emphasized essential weakness which temporary suorannot hide," the Petit Journal con- - Jnues. "It is because Germany knows she cannot win that she desires to end - the war. Her plan, however, is doomed. It will fail before the immovable resolution of the allies." Brand Note at Talk. The Matin characterises the peace proposals as "mere talk," saying: "They contain no territorial, political I or other conditions which could serve
as a basis of discussion. Germany : simply. Bays for the hundredth time that she never desired war and wishes oflly to protect her rights, and that if ;her enemies will not listen she will "throw the blame of further bloodshed Ton them. , The device is too obvious. It could not deceive any but the most ignorant. "Another motive is the necessity of making Germany accept, the sufferings
ana sacrmces or anotner winter campaien. If only the civilian population !iad to endure this, not much harm would be done but the army is begin.Jn? to feel the strain. During the "st few weeks rations have been reduced, and In three months time they "ill be very poor indeed. Germany is compelled to talk of peace but she does it as vaguely as possible in the hope of epread'ng dissension among Her enemies and keeping her coalition together. Wants Different Peace. In an article in the Fi?aro Alfred Capus, dramatist and member of the French academy writes: , "What of the conditions? What is the whole thing for? We want peace, too, but our peace is not theirs. What then are Germany's condition? Nothing precise. She Informs us only that her pretensions are moderate, and proposes to us to stop the war while she defines them. As soon as we lay down our arms, as soon as the image of reace hall has done its work of disinrblng our minds and a peace party Bhall have been formed in France, Russia and England, then Germany will enlighten us on the conditions
which she now calls moderate. Such is the trap. It will be met by us and by our allies with grim contempt, not even with anger. The manoever is too clumsy to be worthy of indignation."
PERSECUTED WOMEN MUST WARM SHEETS FOR CHILLY HUBBIES
A woman raised a contention this morning. She asks if the wives of
Richmond hubbies are not a persecuted
lot and then says they are.
Who goes to bed first, anyway, the the first one to retire raises the win-
reading a- story regarding the .custom on arising in Richmond homes in cold weather. ."Who gets the sheets warm?" she demanded. , . - . ',. . Yes, it is the persecuted wife who crawls between, the two cakes of ice first in the evening. An investigation down town during the day indicates that homes where the husband is in bed first are few, ' Husband Raises Window. But the persecution part depends
entirely on whether the bed room is kept warm during the 'day, whether
wife or the husband ?" she asked after j dows, and a number of other import
ant elements. In one situation, it would be the husband who is persecuted, since the wife is already in bed before the effect of the open windows is felt "Wives don't have to go to bed early and they don't have to get up early," aid a down-town business man. "They co it from choice. I always like to read for a while before I go to bed and it is up to my wife entirely whether she goes first" A banker had the scheme for the alleviation of the sufferings of husbands with cold feet. "My wife goes to bed first and she
always throws a blanket over the radiator in the bathroom," he said. "When I go to bed, I wrap my feet and legs in the blanket. Women ought to go to bed first anyway."
