Doane of the Associated Charities will provide for thechildren. Last Tues day she visited the home on South Eighth street and was told by the mother that the children probably would be orphans at Christmas (ime, but she voiced the hope that her life might be spared. This mother was stricken with tuberculosis more than a year ago. The father succumbed to the same malady. Irene is 12 and Oscar is 8 years of age. The daughter of a wealthy family sent the Associated ;Charities a lot of toys and picture and story books for the sorrowing chil dren. Many Such. Stories. That story is typical of many Mrs. Doane told yesterday afternoon in connection with her Christmas relief work with which The Bee is co-operating. "We are ha!ng many calls for shoes, particularly for children," said Mrs. Doane. "The appeal in The Bee brought responses, but there are many little feet to make warm and I am sure that this is a worthy form of charity," she added. "I am a widow and have three little children. I am not able to work and we will have a sad and dark Christ mas if you don't help us. My hus band left me a year ago. My baby is 3 years old and needs an overcoat, stockings and any little toys you think he would like. My girl 4s 5 years old and needs a coat, dresses and a doll. The other girl is 8 years old and needs school shoes, a dress and a doll," wrcte a mother to the Charities. Old Woman in Need. Another letter reads: "My man has been laid up for many years and I have been going out to do washing. I am 65 years of age and am tired out, and can't make ends meet. I am in need of fuel and food and a little money. We won't have any Christ mas unless somebody helps us." "I am a widow and have been ill for three months. I am not asking for toys or playthings. My girl, 14 years of age, has no coat. All of my children are aslciiig for some warm clothes," pleads another woman. "Would you believe it if I told you we had a telephone call this morning from the South Side about a family of nine children and all in want? I sent an investigator out there and she just telephoned in to state that there are nine boys in this family, be sides mother and father and grand mother and grandfather," remarked Mrs. Doane, after she answered a tel ephone call. Two of these boys are 14-year-old twins and two are 2-year-old twins. The mother am', father of these, boys said they would be glad of anything, particularly in the line of clothing and shoes. JJoyd George May Be Unable to Make Address Tuesday London, Dec. 16. It appears doubtful today whether Premier David Lloyd George will be able to go before the House of Commons on Tuesday next. He is making steady progress toward recovery, but it is considered unlikely that his physi cians will allow him to speak next week, as his voice is affected. At any rate, A is not expected that the government will be by that time in a position to make a statement regard ing the -German peace proposals. Philip Snowden, socialist member for Blackburn, one of the leaders of the small pacificist group in the House of Commons, has made known he intends to state the views of that group in the Commons. Its mem bers belice th ' negotiations should be opened, if only to state the terms of the entente to the central powers. The Westminster Gazzette today says it will be found that Mr. Snow den is by no means an advocate of peace at any price and that his party has very ""efinite views as to the re paration which Germany should make. The belief of this group that Germany is prepared to grant i -sonable terms is not, however, says the newspaper, shared by a majority of the house.

BERNSTORFF AND LANSING TALK OF PEACE OUTLOOK Ambassador Says Terms Were Not Mentioned and that None Have Been Submitted. WILL SEND NOTES SOON Communications from Central Powers Will Go Forward Without Comment. TRANSLATORS AT WORK Washington, Dec. 16. The Ger man, Austrian and Turkish notes pro posing peace were started on their way to the entente capitals late to day. The notes were transmitted in a uniform American translation and the original texts will be sent forward, later probably by mail. The notes were unaccompanied by any expression from the United States, although, as has previously been explained, President Wilson has reserved the opportunity to add a word for peace in some way in the future. Th,e notes went forward by cable and are expected to reach the entente capitals within the next forty-eight hours. . The note to Great Britain will be in London before Tuesday, the time Lloyd George was expected to speak before the House of Commons. Washington, Dec. 16. Count von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, conferred with Secretary Lansing to day seeking information of the atti tude of the United Statu toward the peace proposals of the central powers, to discuss the general subject of peace from this government's viewpoint and to give any information Mr. Lansing might desire on the attitude of the German government. Ambassador Bernstorff said, after a ten-minute visit with Secretary Lansing: "We did not discuss peace termi in any way. I have not received any formal terms and the American gov ernment knows officially that no for mal terms have been proposed. All Germany has suggested ii that the belligerents get together and talk. If that proposal is accepted definite terms naturally will be discussed, but till then it-will hot be proper to men tion, them. My visit to the tecretary was purely for discussion." The 'ambassador indicated that the actual place for the holding of a con ference and the question of whether it should be by direct negotiation or through intermediaries, were ques tions entirely dependent on the will ingness of the entente allies to dis cuss the situation at all. He indi cated also that he had not discussed the American action in sending on the Teutonic notes without comment, as that was purely a matter for this country to decide for itself. Notei Go Forward Today. . Secretary Lansing said the peace notes probably would go forward be fore night. One uniform American translation will be sent to all the gov ernments where the United States represents the central allies, and the original texts will be forwarded later, probably by mail. . -, The president's determination to have the United States as a medium for exchange of the notes between the hostile belligerents was made after a prolonged cabinet meeting late yesterday. The notes received from Germany, Austria and Turkey were meant to be identical, but the translations re ceived here differed slightly in word ing, and an effort was made today to harmonize them. Some officials sug gested that the American representa tives in each ally capital should be requested to transmit the documents direct to American diplomats in the entente countries. Transport Sumner Abandoned by Crew New York, Deer 16. The United States army transport Sumner, which grounded off Barnegat, N.
