As lt\nis still raining and us everything is\ncovered with mud, the men wipe their\nrifles with their handkerchiefs.

The interpellation\nwas introduced by Dr. Schlodmann in\nthe following terms:\n\"Is the Imperial chancellor ready to\ngive information as to the conditions\nunder which he would be willing to\nenter into peace negotiations?\"\n\"If our enemlgs make peace proposals combatihle with Sermany's dignity\nand safety.\" snid the chancellor, \"then\nwe shall always be ready to discuss\nthem.

The\nmain object of the speech is summarized by the Chronicle under four heads\n\u2014-first to deny that Germany ls seeking peace; second, to threaten the entente allies with the consequences if\nthey do not seek peace; third, to divide the eventualities by singling out\nGreat Britain as the' cause of continuance of the .var; fourth, to deny that\nGermany's moral position with regard\nto Belgium is any worse than that of\nthe entente allies.\nThese, snys the paper, are ull fine\nthemes for an orator, but they are not\nsupported by facts and If the chancellor thinks his words at the present\nmoment can either bully the allies Into\nsurrender or cajole them Into quarreling among themselves he entirely\noverrates the potency of his eloquence.\nPublic Will Smile.\nThe general view is that unless Germany had desired pea-ce yesterday's\ndebate would not have occurred.\nTho Graphic, which expressed the\nbelief that tho world will smile at the\nIdea of Germany offering to forego\nadvantages which the chancellor of\nGermany saki would 'accrue to It by\na prolongation of the war, says:\n\"Peoplo do not talk about peace un\nless they want it, and lt ls because the\nGermans are conscious of the risks\nof prolonging the war that they are\ntalking so noisily about peace.\"\nIs it nothing ?

MONTREAL, Dec. 9.\u2014Sir Wilfrid\nLaurier this evening addressed a gathering in the Monument Nationale in\nthe heart of the older section of the\ncity, which packed every available\ninch of space in the building.\nThe meeting was held under the auspices of the Voung Liberal club of\nMontreal, but the speeches, though\ndomestic politics was occasionally introduced, were mainly patriotic in\ntone.\nIt was the first public appearance in\nMontreal of the veteran Liberal leader\nsince his recent illness. He Was given\na great ovation. Hundreds who had\ncome to hear him were unable to gain\nadmittance to tbe hall, being driven\nfrom the doors of the building by a\nsquad of police officers.\nSir Wilfrid voiced a strong belief in\nthe righteousness of the British cause\nin the great war aijd an equally strong\nopinion in its ultimate outcome. He\ntook occasion, incidentally, to give the\nNationalists a rap, saying: \"Any man\nwho would not defend his own soil\nwould be worthy of the indignation of\neveryone.\"\nTouching federal issues, he said:\n\"You have heard in Montreal the\nquestion: 'Why have the Liberals not\nfought the government?' Why? Because I am the chief of the Liberal\nparty and bpcause as long as I have\nthe honor of presiding over the destinies of the Liberal party H will not triumph by taking advantage of the situation at- present existing.\"\nSir Wilfrid paid a tribute to Oliver\nAsselln, who is raising a battalion for\noverseas service.\nOthers who spoke were Sir Lomer\nGouln, Hon. Mr. Graham, Hon. Mr\nMaroll, Senator Dandurand, Rudolphe\nLemieux and Joseph Desmers,\nVWe have become a nation and\nmust assume the obligations as well as\nthe status of a nation,\" said Hon. Mr.\nGraham.\n\"We want peace, but It will come\nonly when the instigator of the trouble\nis brought to his knees.\"\nSir Lomer said:\n\"We must avenge the millions of\nmen who have fallen, recover Belgium,\nhelp to rebuild France, save \"Servia\nand give Europe a chance to live in\nsafety. That is why we are asking\nyoung men to help jnd for helping in\nmoney. That Is why you see Sir Wilfrid asking all patriots to go to 'the aid\nof the allies. That is why in my quality as a Canadian of French descent\nI come to ask without hesitancy that\nyou do for the allies al! that yqu can\ndo.\"\nRETREAT UNDER ,\nBUL6AR ATTACKS\n:(Continiied from Fagc One)\nof the enemy our outposts are gradually falling back to the main position.\nSome handrT6 hand fighting has occurred. 1^. few Bulgarian prisoners\ntaken declare they nave no wish to\nfight against the entente allies but are\nanxious'to' meet the Greeks and wipe\nout old scores,\n\"As ithe lines' of the entente allies\ncontract upon the Greek frontier the\nproblem of the attitude of the, Greek\ngovernment becomes mure and more\nacute.\n\"The French withdrawal at Demi-\nrakpou was most orderly.

The interpellation\nwas introduced by Dr. Schledmann in\nthe following terms: \u2022.\n\"Is the Imperial chancellor ready to\ngive informalion as to the conditions\nunder which he would be willing to\nenter inio peace negotiations?\"\n\"If our onemigs make peace proposals combatihle witli. Germany's dignity\nand safety,\" said the chancellor, \"then\nwe shall always be ready to discuss\nthem. So 16ng as in the countries of\nour enemies.the guilt and ignorance\nor statesmen are entangled with confusion of public opinion, il\" would be\nfolly for Germany to'Aiake peace proposals, -whlcjhwoultwndt shorten, hut\nwould lengthen the 'war. First, the\nmasks must bo torn from their faces.\"\n\"Germany Has No Weak Point.\"\nOnly two Socialists speakers were\nheard .on the interpellation, all the\nnon-Socialists uniting'in a short declaration . opposing discussion at this\ntime.\nThe imperial chancellor explained\nthe situation on an the fronts and\ndeclared thnt Germany could not be\nstarved out. The country had enough\nfood if properly distributed.\n\"Rumors that Germany is on the\nverge of a collapse.\" said the chancellor, \"and (he attribution of a peace\nmission to every prominent German\nwho goes abroad\u2014reports in which\nthere is not a word of truth\u2014are all\npart of a deliberate campaign to keep\nup the spirits of the enemy peoples.\nThere is not a weak point In the German reckoning. If our enemies do not\nchoose to accept the situation and end\nthe war now, they must do so later.\nGermany can wait.\"\nShows Desire for Peace.\n\"LONDON. Der. 10.\u2014Owing to the.\nfact tbat the reports of the German\nimperial chancellor's \u00bbpei|.-h in the\nI-eiChstag had only been partly received\nwhen the morning papers went to\npress, there i.s no general comment this\nmorning.\nThose papers which do print editorials, however, adopt a sarcastic tone\nat the chancellor's expressions. The\nmain object of the speech is summarized by the Chronicle under four heads\n\u2014first to deny that Germany Is seeking peace; second, to threaten the entente allies with the consequences if\nthey do not seek peace; third, to divide the eventualities by singling out\nGreat Britain as the cause of continuance of the war; fourth, to deny that\nGermany's moral position with regard\nto Belgium is any worse than that of\ntbcentente allies.\nThese, says tho paper, are all fine\nthemoH for an orator, but they are not\nsupported by facts and If the chancellor thinks his words at the present\nmoment can either bully the allies into\nsurrender or cajole them Into quarreling among themselves he entirely\noverrates the potency of his eloquence.\nPublic Will Smile.\nThe general view is that unless Germany had desired peace yesterday's\ndebate would not have occurred.\nTho Graphic, which expressed tho\nbelief .that thc world will smile at the\nIdea of Germany offering to forego\nadvantages which the chancellor of\nGermany said would 'accrue to It by\na prolongation of the war, says:\n\"People do not talk about peace un\nleas they want lt, and it Is because the\nGermans are conscious of the risks\nof prolonging the war that they are\ntalking SB noisily about peace.\"\nDEC.\n\u202210,\nI A NEW HARMLESS WAY TO t\nI^IJANISH HAIRY GROWTHS fr\n(JBeauty Topics.)\nBy following this suggestion any\nwoman can, In the privacy of her own\nhome, remove every trace of halr or\nfuzz from her face: Wl'h powdered\ndelatone and water mix enough paste\nto eovef: the not wanted hairs;,-apply and In 2 or :i minutes ruh off and\nwash thi skin.

Germany, with its own . territory practically free' of hostile forces\nend its- own armies occupying great\nareas of allied territory, closes 'Its\neyes to the- destruction oT~its ocean\ncoinmcrl-e and its trade with foreign\nnations, to the strangling \"effect of the\nBritish navy, to its'rotting financial\nStructure and the fact that through its\never increasing losses in men and\nmaterial it Is slowly bleeding to death.\nTaking the lopsided view of the situation which is necessary to bolster up\nconfidence at home Von Bethmann-\nHollweg grandiloquently assures the\nWorld that Germany is triumphant and\nthat it would be* folly for it to offer.\nPeace suggestions. \u00ab\nThut it would be futile for Germany\nlo initiate peace negotiations at this\ntime, which it hus indirectly attempted\nto do, is true enough. The allies will\naccept no peace except upon their own\nterms. They know that Germany has\nyet to lie crushed into the state of\noverwhelming threat which will cause\nit to submit completely to those terms.\nThat it wil! be crushed the allied\npeoples are confident. it is to be\nhoped that the chancellor's declaration\nas tu peuce will be accepted ut Its face\nvalue and that It -will silence the fool\npropaganda of the pacificists who have\nbeen playing, wittingly or unwittingly,\nGermany's game.\nFIGURES TELL OF FURTHER\nRAPID BUSINESS BETTERMENT\nStatistics which are properly regarded as barometers of Cn nad ian\nbusiness wihch are to be relied upon\nare eloquent of the continued improvement in business conditions and the\nmanner in which it has been acclerat-\ned during recent weeks.\n'u'uudinn Pacific o-jrailway , gross\nfnings,.in - November showed an increase of 67.G per Cent over the total\nfor the same month in 1914; the gain\nfor the last nine duys of the month\nwas 77.8 per cent.\nThe October bank statement gives\ntotal deposits\" at $1,093,000,000, the\ngreatest in the history of Canada.

Ho was an enemy,\nyet these people did not treat him as\none. He did not ascribe this to fineness of feeling, but to a lack of fibre\nin the British national character. He\ncould not understand.

Y'et\nthe German officer remarked that he\nhad rather bo a German officer on\nboard a British ship than a British\nofficer on a German ship under such\ncircumstances.

The thin person's body is like a dry sponge\u2014eager\nand hungry for the fatty materials of\nwhich it is being deprived by the failure of tbe alimentary canal to take\nthem from tho food. A splendid way of\nworking to overcome this sinful waste\not flesh building elements antl to stop\nthe leakage of fats is to try Sargol,\nthe famous flesh building agent that\nhus been so widely sold In America in\nrecent yearst- Take a little Sargol tablet with every meal and seo If your\ncheeks don't quickly fill out and rolls\nof firm, healthy flesh form over yotir\nbody, covering each bony anglu and\nprojecting point All good druggists\nhave Sargol or can get lt from their\nwholesaler, and will refund your money\nlf you are not satisfied with the gain\niu weight it produces as stated on the\nguarantee in each large package.
