SEC0ND-CLASS RATES

Washington, Dec. N.-House leaders
predicted today that the proposed in.

matter. now included in the tentative
draft of the postoftice appropriation bill.
never would be enacted into law.
Chairman Henry of the rules commit,
tee said he believed publishers had made
out good case against the proposed in
crease. in that they gave the fullest hear
ing before any rule was reported on it
and that he had no desire to gag debate
on the proposition on the floor.
This statement, coupled with the fact
that Postmaster General Burleson recent
ly wrote Chairman Moon of the postoffice
committee that he was disinclined to push
the proposed increase. is generally accept

his possession.
Just what the United States could
do towards bridging the gulf in case
the Allies hold to their opposition to
conference is the subject of serious
discussion among officials, but as yet
no concrete proposal has been ad-
vanced. 1t is said officially that it has
not yet even been decided whether this
country will send on to the Entente
the Teutonic reply to the Presidents
note as embodying a new suggestion
or whether its mere publication here
would be considered sufficient. The Of
fetal text of the reply still is awaited
and no further step is expected before
it arrives.
The extreme delicacy of the situa-
ton and the fear of a misstep on the
part of each group Of belligerents con-
vince officials that it may be a long
time before any substantial result is
obtained.
That the Allies will declare that
there must be a military solution to
the war, both in their note to the Pres
ident and in their reply to the Central
Powers, was the growing belief here
today, both on the basis of statements
at the allied embassies and cabled
comment. a London dispatch today
following one from Petrograd yester-
day as well as limitations from both
Paris and Rome that the Allies could
not discuss peace until they actually
held the territories they considered ,es-
sential for their future, was taken to
indicate that the Allies want to wait
for substantial military victory.
| Great Britains invitation to the pre-
miers of all the colonies to attend an i'm
, perial war conference to discuss "pos-
| sible conditions on which in agreement
with our allies we could assent to its ter
mination' proved decided surprise here
i where the step was taken as indicating
! the seriousness with which the peace
! movement Is viewed in England. The
holding of such conference however is
! expected to be subsequent to the allied
| replies to President Wilson and the Cen
/ trail Powers and for the purpose of out
/ lining much broader policies than have
| yet appeared. Secretary Lansing was
with President Wilson for 80 minutes to-
| day. but said afterwards he had discussed
matters of minor importance. 1t was
will confer more frequently in the future
| than in the past. in order to do away with
the custom of transacting much of their
business by letter.
| Although Secretary Lansing said TODAY
that full information regarding all the re-
! cent subn,cLire attacks on vessels in
which the United States is interested is
in the possession of the state department
no action on the subject is exnerted dur
ing the pendence of peace negotiations.
| London, Dec. 27.-England and
France have fully agreed upon the
terms of the reply to be made to the
peace proposals of the Teutonic Allies,
The Associated Press learned at the
foreign Office today. 1t is hoped here
that the answer may be dispatched by
the end of this week, but other nations
of the Entente, although agreed in
principle. may require verbal altera-
tons which would necessitate further
delay.

FRENCH SOCIALISTS
MAKE PEACE APPEAL

Paris, Dec. 27.-The Congress Of French
Socialists today by an almost unanimous
vote passed a resolution requesting the
Entente allied governments to reply to
President Wilson's note concerning peace
by saying that they are ready to tell MIN
their conditions for peace, which must in
clude just reparation for the wrongs done
by the Central Empires. The Socialists
also declared they were for such a peace
as was defined by the international So
cialist congress in London in February,
1915.
The Socialists of the Entente allied
countries decided at the London confer
ence that mo hope of peace can be en-
tertained until German militarism IS
crushed" Resolutions were passed urg-
ing that Belgium be liberated and COM
