PEACE OFFER SPURNED
TO FIGHT UNTIL GER
MANY is vANouIsHED.
Such Is Declaration of President
poincare Regarding Offer of
Peace Made in Note to
America.
western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Nancy. May 16.-President Poin-
care. in an address here responded
to Germany's declaration regarding
peace contained in the German reply
to the American note.
France does not want Germany to
tender peace" said the President,
but wants her adversary to ask for
peace"
The President then made known
clearly the only kind of peace which
would be acceptable to France. The
address was delivered at the Molitor
garrison before large number of
Lorraine refugees, to whom the Pres
ident sfter expressing his sympathies
and renewing promises of solidarity
and protection. said:
France will not expose her posi-
tlons to the dangers of new aggres-
sions
Neither directly nor indirectly
have our enemies offered us peace.
But we do not want them to offer it
to US; We want them to ask it of us.
We do not want to submit to their
conditions: we want to impose ours
on them We do not want peace
which would leave imperial Germany
with the power to recommence the
war and keep Europe eternally men
aced.''
''The central empires. haunted by
remorse for having brought on the
war, terrified by the indignation
and hatred they have stirred up in
mankind, are trying today to make
the world believe that the entente
allies alone are responsible for the
of hostilities-a dull
irony which will deceive no one.
I'VE want peace which receives
from restored rights serious guaran-
tees of equilibrium and stability.
so long as that peace is not as
sured to us; so long as our enemies
will not recognize themselves as van
quished. we will not cease to fight"
President Poincare told the refu-
gees that they were only small
of the victims of the in
vasion these were distributed in all
parts of the country, and there was
not department that was not shell
tering thousands. Everywhere they
were waiting with calm confidence
for the hour of deliverance.
