GERMANY WILLING To TALK
PEACE WITH ENTENTE ALLIES

Germany on Tuesday morning made
the first formal overtures for peace
since the outbreak of the great wal,
when, following speech in the Reich
stag, the German chancellor received
the diplomatic representatives of the
neutral nations of Spain, United
States and Switzerland. and trans
mitted to them the following note to
be handed to the governments of the
entente allies.
The definite terms on which Ger
many wants peace have not been
made known. but it is believed they
will be practically restoration of po-
litical boundaries as they were before
the war. They may seek recognition
of Russian Poland as an independent
kingdom, freedom of the Russian
kingdom of Lithuania, the evacuation
of Belgium. restoration of northern
France, and the retention of all Ger
many's colonies. Germany will re-
linquish all claim to Kiachua, taken
by Japan. The Balkans and Trentino
region must be untangled in the pro-
posed peace conference. The gate
ways of control to india are left in
doubt. Alsace and Lorraine, it is be-
lieved, are to be retained by Germany
The Text of the Note
"The most terrific war ever expert
enced in history has been raging for
the last two years and a half over q

us) until the bitter end. if necessary;
at the same time. prompted by the de-
sire to avoid further bloodshed and
make an end to the atrocities of war,
the four allied powers propose to en-
ter forthwith into peace negotiations.
For Lasting Peace
The propositions which they bring
forward for such negotiations and
which have for their object a guaran-
tee OF the existence of honor and lib

firm belief an appropriate basis for
the establishment of lasting peace
The four allied powers have been
obliged to take UP arms to defend JUS
