BRITAIN'S PEACE TERMS
Grey Says Allies Determined to De-
 st'Oy Prussian Domination.

Lcnlon, Nov. 12.--Secretary Grey today made this written reply to a parliamentary question:
 "In our view, the conditions of peace must fulfill thosa laid dow., by the prime minister on November |9, 1914. 1t is very desirable that it should be understood, once and TOT all, that this is the determination of the government, collectively and indi- yiduslly, and of the nation" Sir Edward Grey declared that Great Britain's position in the war is fixed by her alliances with Japan, Franca and Russia. The question which evoked his statement was put by Sir Arthur Markham. Liberal.
 Premier Asquith's historic pledge, thus re-affirmed, was:
 eve shall not sheathe the sword, which we have not lightly drawn, un- til Belgium has recovered more than she has sacrificed; until France is adequately secured against menace; until the rights of \tihta smaller na- tionalities have bean placed upon an unassailable foundation, and until the military domination of Prussia is finally destroyed"
