n THE BEE: OMAHA, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1316. ITALY FAVORS ONLY PERMANENT PEACE Premier Says Any Treaty Must Be founded on Nationality and Laws of Civilization. WILL STAND WITH ALLIES Rome, Dec. 18. (Via Paris, Dec. 19.) Foreign Minister Sonnino said iiTtfie Chamber ofDepnties today that several resolutions which had been in troduced in the chamber in regard to the peace proposals of the central powers seemed to be based on the sup position that the government had or would have concrete and precise indi cations as to the basis on which ne gotiations would be opened "As 1 said the day before yester day, this supposition does not corre spond with the facts," the foreign minister continued. "There is no sign nf conditions or bases for negotiations in the enemy's note. I possess no in formation in regard to eventual con ditions of peace, beyond the note from the enemy which 1 read in the cham ber. . -. r ' Powers Drafting Answer. "Should propositions be made sub sequently, we should consider what to do, but it would be neither practical nor proper to discuss that question to day. Moreover, it should be under stood clearly that no one of the en tente allies could take into considera tion any condition whatever which by hypothesis might be eventually offered to him under separate form. In the public interest and out of respect to the allied governments, I cannot com municate to yon anything whatever as to the substance of the answer we shall give to the note of the four enemy powers. The answer will be published as soon as it is drawn up. Peaea Moat Be Lasting. "We all wish peace, and lasting peace. But we consider lasting peace to be a careful settlement whose duration depends not on the solidarity of the fetters with which one people is held subject to another, but on an exact balance among the states, based on respect for the principal nationali ties, rules laid down in the laws of na tions and reason of humanity and civilization. "If we were in the presence of genuine proposals, with bases of a nature to satisfy the central postu lates of civilization and justice, which I have jnst mentioned, none would re ject them abruptly. But there is nothing to show even faintly that this is the case, and there are many rea sons for believing the contrary. "I do not desire to use exaggerated language, but the accent of boastful ness and fche lack of sincerity which characterize the preamble to the en emy's note certainly inspire no belief that these mysterious peace condi tions which the central empires an nounce they have the intention of ex posing later on, with the object of guaranteeing the existence, honor and free development of their peo ples, do constitute an answer to the postulates we have laid down." . Will Stand With Allies. . Amid an outburst of cheering for Baron Sonnino the chamber voted the order of the day pure and simple, implying confidence in the govern ment and further ordered that the foreign minister's speech be placarded throughout Italy. - The vote on the order of the day was 276 to 49. - Give your Want Ad a chance to make good.

TO PUT HEADS IN GERMAN NOOSE (CwtlaiM From Pm Oh) standing and that he hoped this mis understanding would be removed. Settlement of the Irish question, the premier added, would e a great war measure. Prussia is Bad Neighbor. The premier analyzed the German chancellor's speech and then declared emphatically: "Without reparation peace is im possible. Moreover, what guarantee is there that subterfuges will not be used in future to overthrow any treaties of peace whereinto we might now enter? "We must keep a steadfast eye on the purpose for which we entered the war. We entered it to defend Eu rope from aggressions of the Prus sian military caste. We must insist that there te the most complete guar antees against this caste ever - dis turbing again the peace of Europe.' " "Prussia has been a bad neighbor. Now that the war has real'.- been undertaken, it would be folly not to see to it that this twash-buckling through the streets of Europe and this disturbance of peaceful citizens was dealt with here and now as the most serious offense against the law of nations," Dealing with the war situation the premier said he had to paint a stern but not a gloomy picture. The Roumanian blunder was an unfor tunate one, but at the worst it only ?rolonged the war and could not af ect it. It might have a salutary effect, he continued, in calling the attention of the allies to obvious de fects of organization. To prevent the Roumanian situation from becoming worse they had taken strong action. In Greece they were taking no risks. They had decided to recognize the agent of former Premier Venizelos.

SPRINGS BREWERY DAMAGED BY FIRE Blaze .Which Threatens Entire ' Plant Extinguished With Loss of $15,000 ORIGIN J IS UNKNOWN Damage estimated at between $12, 000 and $15,000 was done to the plant of the Willow Springs Brewery com pany, Third and Hickory streets, yes terday afternoon by a fire which start ed in the repair shop and which for more than an hour threatened the en tire plant, valued at $250,000. The origin of the fire is not known, but it is believed to have been caused by a gasoline explosion. The loss is fully covered by insurance. The part of the plant destroyed will be rebuilt at once, according to officials of the com pany. Employes in the engine room, in another part of the brewery, discov ered the fire when cloud of smoke swept past the windows. A general alarm was turned in, but as the part of the building in which the fire orig inated is of wood, the flames gained considerable headway before the fire department arrived. The flames were conquered, however, before they spread to all parts of the building, only the repair shop, garage, ware house and wash room being damaged. Officials of the company announced that the portion of the plant destroyed will be rebuilt at nnee and that whn prohibition goes into effect the brew ery will be converted into a denatured alcohol and near-beer factory.

Increased Demurrage Hearing in Dakota Pierre, S. D Dec. 19. (Special Tel egram.) The hearing on the applica tion of the railways to increase de murrage rates in South Dakota was completed today, the general tenor of the case made by the railways being that permission to increase demurrage rates granted them in eastern states has helped reduce the complaint in regard to car shortage, as cars are used for storage under a low rate and cleared under a higher one. A large number of the rate cases have been consolidated and are being heard together, as all are based on the same general statements of facts.
