Nobody need run shivering to the

to heating the house by merely pre

sists of a weight attached by ropes tc
the damper and drafts, a light strir
of wood to hold the weight, two mag-
nets, an armature and pulleys to le.n
sen the rope-friction. The strip of
wood which holds the wright is wide
at one end and pointed at the other.
The pointed end rests on a heavy strip
of soft Iron which moves on two tin
rails. When the push button In the
bedroom is pressed a circuit is closed,
and the two magnets draw the piece
of iron, or the armature, from under
the supporting strip of wood, causing
the weight to fall down ami pull open
the draftH. An alarm clock may be
used to take the place of the push but-
ton. The clock can be set to complete
a circuit at a certain hour and then
open the furnace drafts.

have restrained the United States a-

Now that one set of belligerents has
signified its willingness to discuss
peace terms—a condition often reiter
ated as necessary to any action by
President Wilson—there are indica-
tions that when the United States,
acting as the intermediary transmits
the German proposal it may accom-

Regardless of whether President
Wilson decided to accompany the Ger-
man proposal with any word it was
said he unquestionably would take
steps to learn the attitude of the en
tente allies toward the peace move
and possibly might send to Europe
iiis personal friend and adviser, E. M.
House.
Recent dispatches to the German
embassy covering a wide range of sub-
jects, indicate a belief that the general
terms might be in substance as fol-
lows:
A restoration of the status quo ex-
isting before the war.
This includes the evacuation of Bel-
gium and the restoration of the occu-
pied portions of northern France with
the exception of Alsace and Lorraine.
No authorized expression was obtain-
able from the embassy as to whether
conditions would be attached to the
restoration of Belgium and French
territory, but it was understood the
German idea was to make provision
for the future neutrality of Belgium
and probably propose fortification,
particularly of the city of Antwerp Ir
was also understood that no condi-
tions amounting to economic control
of the mineral lands of northern
France would be likely to be askea.
All Germany's lost colonies she ex.
pects to be returned. Her possessions
in the Pacific, however, are not a sub-
ject of great concern and the Berlin
government is understood to he ready
to relinquish the claim on Kiauchau.
The security of Turkey in posses-
sion of Constantinople.
This probably would be insisted
upon by the central powers as well an
the restoration of Albania.
The establishment of independent
kingdoms in Lithuania and Poland.
This would be one of the factors in
the German proposal, although thai
part of Poland possessed by Germany
at the outbreak of the war would noi
be included.
which formerly belonged to her, mak-
ing the Danube the boundary between
Bulgaria and Roumania and shutting
the latter from the Black Sea.
Diplomats of the entente allies re
gard the peace offer a* having the
double purpose of placing upon the
allies the responsibility for continuing
the war and of impressing upon the
German people that they are fighting
a defensive conflict against enemies
who refuse quarter. Coming imme-
diately after the culmination of the
triumphant Roumanian campaign, the
peace offer, entente diplomats say, is
Berlin --The Teutonic allies declaie
themselves ready to discuss peace
Also they are ready to continue the 1
war if the entente allies do not find j
the time propitious for such a dls- 1
cussion.
The readiness of the central powers
has been expressed in identical notes |
to the United States, Spain and Swlt- j
zerland, who are asked to make i
known the contents of the notes to the j
nations at war with the Teutonic j
allies. Notes also have been trans-
mitted to the Vatican and the active
interest of the pope solicited in the
peace offer.
Promise Appropriate Basis."
While no conditions for peace were |
mentioned in the notes it was asserted
I that the propositions to be made by
Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey
and Bulgaria would have for their
object a guarantee of the existence of
the honor and the liberty of evolution
for these nations and would prove "an
appropriate basis for the establish-
ment of a lasting peace."
Chancellor von Bethmann Hollweg
in communicating to the reichstag the
dispatch of the notes, said tne step
was taken on the ground of humanity.
The Teutonic allies, he said, could noi
be conquered and they awaited the
answer of the entente with "that seri-
ousness of mind which is guaranteed
to us by our exterior and interior
strength and by our clear conscience."
Ready to Fight On.
The identical notes said in respect I
to a refusal of the entente to dlscusa j
peace and reconciliation that the four
Teutonic allied powers are resolved
to "continue the war to a victorious
end, but they disclaim responsibility

THE BRITISH VIEWPOINT
Less than a month ago. I>a\id Lloyd-George, the new British premier,
?aidr'
"Britain has only just begun to fight; the British empire has invested
thousands of its best lives to purchase future immunity for civilization; this
investment is too great to be thrown away.
"The whole world, including neutrals of the highest purposes and humani-
tarians with the best motives, must know that there can be no outside inter-
ference at this stag*. Britain asked no intervention when she was not
prepared to fight. She will tolerate none now that she is prepared, until
Prussian military despotism is broken beyond repair.
"In the British determination to t arry the fight to a decisive finish there
!B something more than the natural demand for vengeance. The inhumanity,
the pitilessness of the fighting that must come before a lasting peace is
possible, is not comparable with th® cruelty that would be involved in stopping
the war while there remains a possibility of civilization again being menaced
from the same quarter."

conditions which would practically
leave it under German control and
probably give over the port of Am

of northern Francbut with economic

Belgium Offered Peace.
The Daily Telegraph prints prom
inently, the following:
"We have recived infarmation from
an unimpeacnable source that the cen-
tral powers recently offered peace to
Belgium on the following terms:
" 'The Belgians are of*%red imme-
diate peace. In return for this their
country will be restored to them, its
osition British officials were disposed independence guaranteed and finan
to maintain reserve. It was notice
able that the proposal had not created
any profound impre-sion among the
average Londoners There was little
talk in the hotels or other place: and
this discussion was far less animated
than the recent ministerial crisis.
Those in close association with the
new government took th* view thai
the proposal would prove entirely un-
acceptable, mainly because they *ere
not lik« lp to touch what the ruling
authorities regard as the most essen-
tial of any peace, namely, guarantees
against German militarism as will per-
