BERLIN NOW SEES
WILSON AS A HELP
Backing Hollweg's Pro
posal for Exchange of
Views, Germans Think
By ERNST KAHN
By Wireless 20 The Tribune

Berlin via Ssyviile), Dec. 26.-Ger-
man opinion on President Wilson's
peace note has veered almost overnight.
Il is no longer regarded as inopportune
and an impediment TO Germsny's own
peace efforts, a. perhaps an attempt 70
bring about settlement earlier in the
var might have been considered.
On the contrary, responsible circles
are now inclined TO regard the Presi-
dents proposition as Of great help to
Berlin al the present stage Of affairs
especially as both his action and that
Of Won Bethmsnn-H Hollweg aim at the
interchange OF views by the belliser-
ents concerning the possibility Of peace
negotiations.
Although the speeches Of Pokrovski,
BRAND and Lloyd Gcorge-especially
that Of the last named-sre regarded IN
Germany generally as sfronting and
detrimental to peace overtures, repeat
ing as they do the old imputations and
raising the old. unsccountable claims
for the destruction Of Germany, the
parties on the left and government
wings have decided 70 wait for an ON
cial snswer before taking action.
If the reply Of the Entente nations
offers the possibility of Germsny's en-
tering peace negotiations without hu-
initiation il will not be rejected

BRITISH COLONIES
IN PEACE PARLEY
No Truce Before Febru-
ary. Call to PremierS
Now Indicates

London. Dec. 27.-"The Daily Tel
egraph" says it understands that a
Swedish note. Identical in purport
with the note of the Swiss govern
ment concerning President Wilson's
peace initiative, has been presented
to the belligerent governments.
The Secretary of State for the Col
onies. Walter Hume Long, has sent
telegram TO the dominions explaining
the purposes OF the forthcoming I'M
perial conference announced by Pre-
mier Lloyd George. The telegram
explains that what the government
contemplates is not an ordinary inn
perial conference. but special war
conference of the Empire.
The Prime Minister of each Of the
dominions is "invited to attend
series of special meetings of the war
Cabinet to consider urgent questions
affecting tho prosecution OF the war
possible conditions on which. IN
agreement with our allies, we could
assent to its termination. and prob
lens which would then Immediately
arise"
The Premiers are urged TO attend
at an early date-not later than the
end Of February.
German Reply Analyzed
Germany's reply to President wilson
on the peace question, as transmitted
nv the Associated Press correspondent
at Berlin to New York, and re-trans-
mitted here. did not reach London un-
I'll too late for comment, or even for
insertion in the earliest morning edi-
tions Of the London papers. II is print
ed with great prominence, however IN
the second editions.
The only present indication Of ITS
reception here is furnished by the The
Daily Mails" headline: German Peace
Dodge" and an Introductory note, IN
which "The Mail" says:
III President Wilson meant. as re-
cent American comment contends, that
his note should force Germany to state
her terms, Germany mas countered with
this proposal so that she can evade an
explicit answer"
II is coincidence that Great Brit
aims invitation 10 the Dominion pre-
miers 20 attend war conference not
later than February to consider ques-
tons affecting the prosecution OF the
war forms ehe main feature Of the
morning papers. As ,s apparent that
no important decision affecting the con-
ditions under which the war can be
terminated By the Allies IS likely TO De
taken until the conference, u may ne
assumed. apart from any other consid-
erations. that Germany's suggestion
for an immediate exchange OF views
nrobably will not materialize.
Allies Consider Proposition
"The Daily Telegraph commenting
on the imperial conference. says;
'The Allies are very far from com
hitting the mistake of not considering
among themselves the conditions OF
peace. for which they propose to OBJ
tain the only efectusl guarantee;

Dover y. j.. Dec 26.-The sound Of

WAR MUST GO ON,
RUSSIA'S STAND
Allies United for Finish
Fight-Armies to End
Greek "VacCilatiOn"

London. Dec. 1s.-The Russian For
cign Minister, NJ. Pokrovski. invited
,he representatives of the press ~
Petrograd Yesterday to an interview
at which he outlined his programme
and his ideas in regard TO the present
political situation. Reuters PetroSrad
correspondent says that, in general
this ministerial declaration, which
seems 70 have been meant TO take the
place Of the usual speech before Par
lament. consisted OF few clear
propositions.
First, there is no change in the rela-
tions between Russia and her allies.
Second. the minister declares, with
firm assurance that after the war the
military alliance OF France, England
and Russia will be consolidated in a
close economic union.
Third. the war will be continued un-
Ill a decisive victory is won.
Complete Refusal of Peace
NJ. Pokrovski then discussed the
three great questions OF the dsy-the
German peace proposals, President
Wilson's note and the attitude OF
Greece. After recalling the recent
Duma declarations demanding rejec-
ton Of the German peace note NJ.
Pokrovski passed TO the action OF
President Wilson. He said that Rus
sia appreciated highly the good will
ard the lofty, humane motives OF the
Presidents note. but that 1t could alter
in no way the political situation Great
ed by "the false and hypocritical
moves OF the Berlin government"
As the Wilson note coincided with
the German proposals, he said, the
ideas Of the Russian government in re-
gard to Mr.. Wilson's action were al
most analogous with those which had
been set forth by the Russian press;
that is to say. the governments stti-
tude in regard To 10th questions was
one OF complete refusal.
Neyertheiess. .he Allied govern
nents would reply with all possible
fulness. They would reiteratc. NJ.
Pokroyski said. that they would con
tinue the war until the ravaged terri
tories had been restored and until
there had been created state OF az
fairs in which the existence Of small
nations would be assured. and in which
a new worldwide confsgration would
be impossible.
Military Action in Greece
Speaking OF Greece, ". Pokroyski re-
asserted that the Entente Powers
would not tolerate for a moment any
attitude on the part of that country
that would affect their military IN
terests seriously. He said that meas
ures already had been taken. and that
others OF a military nature shortly
would be carried out, which would put
an end once and for all 20 Greece vac
illation.
Commenting on the declaration OF
the Foreign Minister. the "Noyoe
Vremya." Of Petrograd. says that J.,
is very opportune, and gives faith
fu idea Of the reply Of the Allies TO
Germany and the United States.
