Washington.--Following is the trnns- Jation of the entente allies! reply to President Wilson's peace note, trans­ mitted to the state department by Am­ bassador William G. Sharp In Paris: "Ambassador Sharp to the Secretary of State. American Embassy, Paris, I .':J*n. 10, 1917. • ?•. r^.'^The" allied governments have re- ? ceived the note which was delivered to them in the name of the govern- ritent of the United States on the 19tli of December, 1916. They have studied ; It with the care imposed upon them both by the exact realization which they have of the gravity bf the hour and.by the sincere friendship which attaches them to the American people. . "In a general way thqy wish to de­ clare that they pay tribute to the ele­ vation of the sentiment with which the American note is Inspired and that they associate themselves with all their hopes with the project for the creation of a league of nations to in- ^ sure peace , and justice throughout the world. "The allies have as profound a de- j Sire as the government of the United I Stages to terminate as soon as possi­ ble a war for which the central em­ pires are responsible and which in­ flicts such cruel sufferings upon hu­ manity. Not'Time for Peace. -KBut they believe that it is impossi- ; ble at the present moment to attain a I peace which will assure them repara- v tlon, restitution, and such guaranties to which they are entitled by the ag­ gression, for which the responsibility rests with the central powers and of » which the principle itself tended to ruin the security of E«rope; a peace which would, on the other hand, per- , mlt the establishment of the future of European nations on a solid basis. "The allied nations are conscious that they are not fighting for selfish interests, but above all to safeguard the independence of peoples, or right, and of humanity. "The allies are fully aware of the losses and suffering which the war has caused to neutrals as well as to belligerents, and they deplore them; ; but they do not hold themselves re­ sponsible for them, having in no way ! either willed or provoked this war, and f they strive to reduce these damages in the measure compatible with the in­ exorable exigencies of their defense 'against the violence and the wiles of • the enemy. "The allied government^ believe that they must protest in the most friendly but In the most specific manner against the assimilation established in the , American note between the two groups of belligerents; this assimilation, based upon public declarations by the cen­ tral powers, Is In direct opposition to f the evidence, both as regards responsi­ bility for the past and as concerns guaranties for the future; President Wilson in mentioning it certainly had no Intention of associating himself ; with It. "If there !• a historical fact estab- > lished at the present date, it Is the will­ ful aggression of Germany and Aus- l tria-Hungary to Insure their hegemony over Europe fend their economic domi- * nation over the world. * "Germany proved by her declaration of war, by the immediate violation of Belgium and Luxemburg, and by her manner of conducting the war, her sys­ tematic contempt for all principles of humanity and all, respect for small states; as the conflict developed the attitude of the central powers and their allies has been a continual defi­ nite of humanity and civilization. Cites Enemy's Atrocities. "Is it necessary to recall the horrors which accompanied the invasion of Belgium and of Serbia, the atrocious regime imposed upon the invaded countries, the massacre of hundreds of thousands of inoffensive Armenians, the barbarities perpetrated against the populations of Syria, the raids of Zeppelins on open towns, the destruc­ tion by submarines of passenger steamers and of merchantmen even un­ der neutral flags, the' cruel treatment inflicted upon prisoners of war, the Ju- , ridical murders of Miss Cavell, of Cap­ tain Fryatt, the deportation and reduc­ tion to slavery of civil populations z m* • •- ' ,"T3ie execution of such a aeries of u Fuel From Furnace Refuse. i " Various devices for economizing fuel have been brought to notice in Holland since the war caused a difficulty in procuring coal.

"President Wilson desires more: He desires that the belligerent pow­ ers openly affirm the objects which they seek by continuing the war; the allies experience no difficulty in reply­ ing to this request. ."Their objects in the wa* are well known; they have been formulated on many occasions by the chiefs of theii divers, governments.

"It goes without saying that If the allies wish to liberate Europe from the brutal covetousness of Prussian militarism it never has been their de­ sign, as has been alleged, to encom­ pass the extermination of the German peoples and their political disappear­ ance. "That which they desire above all is to insure a peace upon' the princi­ ples of liberty and justice, upon the inviolable fidelity to international ob­ ligations with which the government of the United^ States lias never ceased to be inspired. "United In the pursuits of this su­ preme object, the allies are deter­ mined, individually and collectively, to act With all their power and to con­ sent to all sacrifices to bring to a vic­ torious close a conflict upon which they are convinced not only safety and prosperity depends but also the future civilization Itself.

Washington.--A supplementary Bel­ gian note, which accompanied th$ en­ tente allies' reply to President Wil­ son's peace appeal, pays tribute to the sentiment of humanity which prompted the president of the United States to send his note to the belligerent pow­ ers, and declares ardent wish to end the war. It refers to the German treat­ ment of Belgium as "barbarous," and alleges the former government, after the occupation of Belgian territory, displayed no better observance of the rule!! of International law or the stip­ ulations of Thie Hague convention. The heavy taxation imposed on the country, and the deportation at Bel­ gian workers, are denounced. Germany Denies Allies' Charges. Berlin.--"We offered peace and meant what we said. The oner wni spurned. We shall fight on until that peace which might have been gained by diplomacy is won by our sword." In substance, this Is what Germany, speaking for her allies, Austro-Hun- gary, Bulgaria and Turkey--told the neutral world op Thursday. The note is, in effect, a reply to the entente's rejection of that offer. "The form in which they clothe their communication," says the note, "ejf- eludes an answer to them." For this reason that which the central powers feel they should make known to the world is told in the message to the neutrals. Reiteration of the assertion that the responsibility for the continuance of the war does not rest with the central powers, a statement of the central powers' case In the conflict, emphatic refutation of the accusations made In the entente's reply to the peace offer and a renewed expression of "the will to victory" are the main features of the note. heavier particles sink to the bottom, while the combustible material floats and can be scooped off to be used In the furnace.

Lawson said that the banker who told him he knew another banker who dominated a cabinet officer In Washing­ ton was Archibald S. White Of White & Co., Boston. T^he committee Immedi­ ately issued a subpoena for White. Chairman Henry on the witness stand declared he never had men­ tioned the name of a member of con­ gress or a banker, to Lawson as hav­ ing been Involved, in the "leak." This made his denial of Lawson's testimony complete. . When Henry had concluded his testi­ mony, Lawson arose and dramatically asserted that every word he, Lawson, had uttered was the "truth, so help me God, without variation." Lawson had been asked if he was prepared to offer proof of his state­ ment that there were beneficiaries of the "leak" among lawmakers and oth­ ers. He produced a letter which he asked to submit In private. The com­ mittee insisted that he read It. It was from Mrs. VIscontl. "I am going to answer your ques­ tions," said Mr. Lawson, as he took the witness chair. ^ "Who was the member of congress?" Lawson was asked. "Chairman Henry," said Lawson calmiy. . > * - Lawson said he coutdi not give the names of any members of congress who were engaged in buying and Celling stocks. Lawson also testified that Mrs. Ruth Tomlinson Viseonti of Washington had told him that W. W. Price, correspond­ ent of the Washington Star at the White Hous%, had a part in the "leak" affair betweed Secretary Tumulty! and others. Asked by Representative Henry whom he meant when he said he could give the name of a go-between who re­ ceived a large sum for "his bit," Law- son said he referred to the name given him by Mrs. Viseonti, as "Secretary Tumulty." Ruth T. VIscontl appears in the Washington city directory as a clerk. The letter which Lawson rtad fol­ lows : "My Dear Mr. Lawson : "If the name of the man who was the go-between in th& present leak and the amount of money be of assistance to you, I can supply the name and tht amount he received and give the name of at least one associate at the White House who participated in the haul." The letter went on to offer to make an appointment which Mr. Lawson said he made with Mrs. Viseonti. In the presence of her attorney he said she gave him the names of Price and Mc­ Adoo. The senator, Lawson said, was known to him only as "O." Lawson indirectly brought the names. of Secretary Lansing and Ambassador Bernstorff into the hearing, but not In connection with the leak. When Henry charged him with drag­ ging in the name of Lansing* Lawson Indignantly re*tiled: "I have held the names of Lansing and the German ambassador out of this." Lawson further said Henry had told him Information had come to the com­ mittee that the German ambassador had profited over $2,000,000, but that he did not think it was true. Lawson also said Henry told him of rumors that Barney Baruch was con­ nected with the "leak." In a long description of .his visit to Chairman Henry, Lawson said that Henry had told him of rumors that Secretary Lansing had gone to the {tiltmore hotel In New York to meet Barney Baruch four times, but that he, Henry, thought his visits wore per­ fectly , legitimate.. "I fold Henry," said Lawson, "that I would stake my head on it that Sec­ retary Lansing was not tiling any­ thing he ought not to do." Exposure to ebuns of tain In iron furnaces, r*frlg«rat»ri/«tc.
