WASHINGTON PLEASED
WITH GERMAN REPLY

Washington Dec 2S. - Germany :
reply to President Wilson's note is
regarded here as having advanced the
peace movement another step, de.
spite the fact that it disappoints in
not meeting his suggestion for an
avowal of terms
The reception Germany's reply re-
ceives among the entente allies.
whose statesmen have publicly de.
olared against such a program, now
becomes the point upon which a fur.
ther move is hinged.
The German note probably is the
prelude to series of carefully con
sidered delicate moves i'm the great
game OF world diplomacy, and possi.
bly, leading TO an approach for a real
discussion of peace terms on grounds
which all the belligerents may feel
can place them at no disadvantage.
This is the official view of Ger.
many's reply as formulated on the ba
sis of the unofficial text.
Neutral diplomatic quarters, too, re.
garded the note as step toward
peace, and rather leaned to the view
that Germany might follow It with a
confidential communication of some
sort outlining her terms.

However, the Teutonic reply 20 Pres

fording good opportunity for England
and her allies TO set before the world
the aims of the entente
The British public is impressed by
the fact that despite what was termed
a lack of sincerity In moving for
peace, the suggestions in Germany's
reply nevertheless reveal an over
weening desire for peace.
England attributes this anxiety for
cessation Of war 10 Germany's reali
zation OF her waning strength and her
desire to make peace now when she
is yet strong.
From now on Britons believe Ger
many realizes her enemies will be
waxing stronger. while she grows

the price our enemies would exact
for peace today"
