- .'. Pafs, Dec. 20. Speaking in the Senate, M. Briand sasd: "The Allies will in concert reply immediately, intimating clearly that it is impossible to take : peace proposals seriously while Germany is calling up her last reserves of population and deporting inhabitants from Belgium. Germany is passing through difficult times. She is wavering. She is not victorious, and not conscious of peace. Otherwise she would impose it on the world. This cry, the peace cry, is weakness. Our answer is the Victory of Verdun."
