J. BENDER , n'niud Press Staff Correspondent)' W&shinorton. Dec. 30. The idea of a break with Germany over the submar ine warfare will, according to administration's views, constitute a strong club in making her present a better working basis for peace than she has yet given. The thought that a break must come if the peace maneuvers fail, is spurring President Wilson on, ac cording: to cabinet official, while (he endorsement of his peace views by the neutrals is making him doubly anxious to keep up the peace work. The action of Spain in vigorously prrteiting to Germany against the submarine activities is regarded as inspired by the knowledge of this government's purpose should all hc.r of .peace evaporate.

Not onl merchants and manufacturers, who buy ani sell goods have shared in hu prosperity, but banks, puolic orvice companies and aericulturu' !-s have shared equally in this ooil fortune. Bank clearings have 'nlion all records and the earnings f the-;- financial institutions have een large. Manufactgring institu ions have been constantly busy and ?bor well employed, much of it at Ivanced wajres, and thi9 vicinity s been almost entirely free from strikes and industrial disquiet. Far mers have received the highest prices fn their products paid in any fort period, enabling them to liqui date much indebtedness and to pro due? many comforts to which they h'ive been unaccustomed. .The high prices which have prevailed appar ently diminished the consumption of but few commodities and' in many mes the volume of trade has been measured only by the ability of fac tored to produce. However, in he?p high prices is believed to lie the greatest danger of trading in the roar future and conservatism should 'e the watchword. There has been .slightly fewer failures in' thi-s dis. trie; this year than last, and also fewer new mercantile ventures than ual. Rulcads serving, this terri tory have shown the 'best earnings their history. Retail trade has been in excess of normal and collec tiens have been usually good during the entire year.
