PEACE NOTE IN PRESIDENTS HANDS
No Outward Indication That President Wilson Has Made Up
His Mind What Action He Would Take IN Transmitting
the Proposals to the Entente PowersProbably VIII be
Forwarded With Formal Note of Transmission.

that to avoid being placed in the po-
sttion OF fatty rejecting peace over
lures without knowing what lis pro-
posed, it was not improbable that aft
er mature deiiberation among them
selves, the allies WOULD make reply
inquiring upon VIII oasis a discussion
was suggested. Such an action by the
allies, it was pointed out, would not
bind them to a conferences -
The German view of the next prob
sentatives of all the be1ligerents should
be proposed for a general discussion of,
an approach to basis for peace.
German officials here repeatedly have
expressed their conviction that once
Waving gone that far, the movement
would result in an actual peace con-
ference. The conviction of the allied
diplomats, on the other hand, is that
Germany's term, as outlined by the
German embassy here and as indi-
Gated by the tenor of the German
ohancellor's speech, are such that dis
cussion would result in no conclusion.
But before approaching that stage,
they seem to agree that an inquiry to
the central powers for more inform
alton ftheir proposal will he proper
and that it will develop the ground for
the next step.
J. P. Morgan, head of the financial
agents of the allies in this country,
conferred today with the British ann
b-.SSador, Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, and
the French ambassador, Jules j. JUS
serand. 1t was said his visit was a
consequence Of his recent conference
in Europe with King George and some
of the British statesmen. Inasmuch
as his engagement with the two am.
bassadors was made several days ago,
the conference, it was declared obvi-7
ously was not brought about by the,
peace proposals.
So far as was known the presidents
attitude remained undisclosed to any
of his advisors, but the. belief grew
stronger that if in forwarding the pro-
posals of the American government did
not accompany them with more than q
formal note of transmission, it prob
ably later in some other way would in
dictate its interest in having peace re-
established as soon as possible. Mean
while the American diplomats in the
entente ally countries will be expected
to keep the government Informed of
officia views.
The ony official word forthcoming at
the White House was that President
Wilson still was studying the question
closely and had not reached a determ-
ination on the steps to take. He did
not discuss the question with callers to-
day, built is expected to take it up at
least informally tomorrow with his
cabinet.

CROSSINGS or DANUBE

Tehernavoda Bridge Not Entirely

Berlin, Dec IA (By Wireless to Say
ville)-A despatch to the Overseas
News Agency from Budapest an
nounces that the crossings Of the Dan
ube made by forces of the central
powers between Turtukai and Tcher-
navoda were mostly by means of pom
toons. "A portion OF the troops, how
ever marched over the famous Tcher-
navoda bridge, which had not been en-
tirely demolished
THE petroleum establishments at
Campina were little damaged and fell
into our hands," adds the despatch.
The Rumanian detachments at Sinaia
had been completely surprised by the
course of events and made their es-
cape to Buzeu over the mountain
roads. These troops not only left
their baggage and cannon but like
wise left their military establishments
for the most part intact. Only a few
machines were slightly damaged, so
that all the works will be in opera
ton in short time"

made frequently that advantage should
be taken of the plethora of gold to re-

doubt some opposition which manifest

L s.- +.
| Washington, Dec. 14.-Arrival OF
both the German and Austrian peace
notes, and broad intimations at the
entente ally embassies that the pro-
| posals of the central powers would not
be fatty rejected without examination
were the outstanding developments
here today in the peace move.
Germany'S note, substantially the
same as the published texts, arrived
by cable in the early hours of the
morning and just as the state depart
| ment was closing for the day, Aus
tria's note arrived. Secretary Lansing
said it was identical with Germany S
and that neither contained any change
in meaning from the semi-ofhcial
versions.
| 1t was stated officially that neither
GermanyS nor AuStriaS note would
| be forwarded before tomorrow If In
deed then, and there was no outward
| indication that the president had
made up his mind what action, if. any,
he would take in transmitting the
central powers proposal to the en-
| tente belligerents.
When, with the announcement of
the German proposals two days ago, it
appeared that the entente allies were
inclined to reject the offer fatty, it
appeared very doubtful if President
Wilson could find a way to add a
word of mediation in transmitting the
notes. With the apparent moderating
Of that first attitude, as reflected in
the British newspapers and among the
entente diplomats here, the way seems
easier for the president to express in
some way the hope of the United
States that the proposal for dis
cussion of peace will not be rejected
without consideration. In such a step
there is likelihood of the United
States being supported by some of the
European neutrals. The minister of
one of them today asked his govern
ment to authorize him to assure the
president of endorsement in such a
move, and it is believed others are
considering the same phase of the sit
uation.
The Spanish ambassador, Mr.. Riano,
and the Swiss minister, DR.. Ritter,
both conferred today with Secretary
Lansing. Their governments also are
acting as Intermediates in transmit
ting the proposals. Whether they dis
cussed the prospect of a neutral con-
cert was not disclosed, but the i'm
preston prevailed that in the absence
of decision by President Wilson the
subject was scarcely more than touch
ed upon.
The change in the attitude of the en-
tente embassies, however, was re-
garded as the most interesting de-
velopment pointing to the probable po-
sition of the allies. 1t was indicated

London. Dec. IA, s.55 p. m-That

dollars is the real measure of her

demands was the gist of a brief and
pointed speech in the house of com
mons tonight by Reginald Mckenna
the former chancellor of the excheeuer
supporting and experimenting Mr.
Bonar Laws presentation OF Great
Britain's financial position.
Mr.. McKenna opened by congratu-
Iating Mr.. Bonar Law on his speech,
thus showing the entente cordiale be-
tween the lod and the new govern
mentS, and then continued:
We are bound to supply munitions
to the full extent of our capacity and
we are bound likewise to meet all the
demands of our allies SO far as we are
able. The extent of our ability to meet
those demands is enormous. but there
is one restriction, namely, that it will
not be easy to convert sterling wealth
into dollars wealth. We must pay in
dollars for what we buy now all over
the world, and that % the limit Of our
power to help our allies"
Touching 'on the large increase in
the expenditure during the past two
months, Mr. McKenna said:
mir. BGnar Law mentioned that our
average daily expenditure for the past
ssxty three days reached five million
seven hundred thousand pounds, but
in that period there were brought into
the account large sums expended in
the United States watch ought to have
been brought into the charges of an
earlier period. I believe that the true
daily expenditure now is about five
and q half millions; therefore we may
hope that the estimate of E1,S50,0O0.-
600 for the financial year will not be
exceeded

Human Testimony
Not Infallible.

FROM Judge Cohslan's action in
the Stietel case, il would seem that
al least one jurist was mindful of
the fallibility OF human testimony
under special circumstances. and
In similar case recently In which
divorce Was granted upon tho
testimony OF a witness Who testified
what she saw through a stow.
pipe hole in ceiling. the AppelIa,c
Court decided that the pitnas.
could not possibly have seen what
she testified to, and reversed tho
