We have have fur ultimatum to Servia an ccmber 31 New duties to be imposed on a cording to official announcement of treasury ittee. No details out but reported that new licr, and increase on sugar, quotes government. Allies are united for topic Will not lay down arms separately collectively.

At second Hague, Russian representative t German delegate refused to listen to propos- her fact that Austria would have agreed to pacific settlement ot nat.fcnal disputes, lhey addressed unprecedented tl declared war without reference to Hague conditions. Following ultimatum, both rejected all attempts to bring peaceful solution. Gernlany transgressed all efforts of Allies to avert conllagation in Europe. Dnstead, long trained troops ruthlessly invaded Belgian neutrality, with which country Germany had a solemn compact to protect. This invading power now asks to discuss peace. They hotly proclaimed that treaties were mere scrap and that necessity knew no laws. At present shame offers are based on war map which Ger many imagines permanent, and on which peace must be talked. Map represents nothing than a superficial passing phase of a great situation. Allies are prepared and present military positions do not represent real strength. No peace on such terms, wholly to advantage of agressor who after two years finds (himself battered and unable to reach the goal he fancied to be able to reach in two months. Allies forced to assert again and for all time that no peace is possible until they have secured reparation fit the violated rights of nations and the free existence of small st.A-'S. Xo peace possible so long as Allies have not brought settlement Ijlculated once and for all to end materialistic forces, one that willstablish perpetual peace and will afford effectual guarantees of f uturf security; That Wilson sefit supplemental circular became known yesterday at first intimation of -ply from Spain.

Unofficial opinions between Marring powers, if present negotations fail. General opinions between f waring powers, if present negotations fail. General opinion is that Alies replied much as expected and in so doing played their strongest card. Von Bernstorff says that no note will be answered by Germany till after reply ,JLFnl4V.ils,on's suggestion to Ententes does not ftif ecify what he expects. ' o. 10451.
