IY STATE JoURNA-WEDNEsDAY EVENING" DFCFNRFR 27 1916
WILL ANSWER U. S.
England's Reply to Stipulate
Aims of War.
British War Cabinet in Session
Framing Reply.

London, Dec 2T-England intends
to tell the world exactly what she is
fighting for. Her answer to President
Wilson's note suggesting that belliser-
ents in the great war define their
peace terms will be clear outline of
the objects which Great Britain and
her allies hope to attain.
That this sort of a note is now in
process of formulation was learned on
unquestioned authority this after
noon.
Presumably it was this business of
drafting the reply which called the
ministry in to conference at Premier
Lloyd-George's official residence in
Downing street today.
1t is known that yesterday Lloyd
George conferred at length with Alex
ander Ribot, minister of finance in the
French cabinet and Albert Thomas,
minister of munitions and manufact-
urer of the BRAND ministry. This con-
ference probably had as its subject
also the question of a joint-or at
least an identical-note from all the
allies, not only in answer to Presi-
dent Wilson's peace suggestions, but
also in answer to the German note.
To Force Germany's Hand.
The outline of the reasons why Eng
land and her allies are fighting will
proDdDly not go lnlO HllHule ueIail pl.l "
it will be sufficiently definite on all
questions to answer comprehensively
what the allies are fighting for.
1t is apparent from the above dis
patch that England intends diplomati-
cally to force Germany into a position
of strategic disadvantage in her forth
coming answer.
Germany failed to answer what was
considered the main point of the Will
son note-the suggestion for an out
line of peace terms. Moreover, she
failed to submit any statement of prin-
ciples for which she is contending.
which might be taken as indicative of
what her peace terms would be.

CENSOR BIRTH CONTROL
Medical Society Votes Against Propa-

New York, Deco. 27.-John H. sum-

the vice censor of New York city, to-
doy has the New York Medical So
ciety's word for it and is expected soon
to brand birth control a vice upon
which relentless war shall be declared.
Not until he read todays report OF

practice is vice or virtue.

DR.. Abraham jacob watched the bat
tie from the chair but declined to vote
DR.. Ira S. Vile, who with Dr. S. A.
Tannenbaum, submitted the minority
favorable report, jumped to his feet
and yelled:
This society contains members who
perform illegal operations-which is
FAR worse than giving advice on birth
regulation-and yet they retain their
