LONDON WOULD REJECT NOW

Will Fight On-Restore Belgium
and French Territory.-U. S.
May Aid in Plan.
UMBER "A

London, Dec. IA wireless dis
patch from Berlin says that in his
speech before the reichstag today
Chancellor Won Bethmann- Hollweg
announced that Germany, to-
gether with her allies, conscious of
their responsibility before God, before
their own nation and before human
ity," have proposed to the hostile
powers to enter into peace negotia-
tions.
A Central News dispatch fhom Am
sterdam says it is announced officially
in Berlin that Emperor William has
notified his commanding generals of
Germanys peace offer and has inform
ed them it is still uncertain whether
the offer will be accepted. Until that
uncertainty is ended, the message adds,
they are to fight on.
The message is quoted as follows:
Soldiers: In agreement with the
souverigns of my allies and with the
consciousness OF victory, / have made
an offer of peace to the enemy.
Whether it will be accepted is still un-
certain. 6
Until that moment arrives, you will
fight on"
May Keep the Status Quo
Washington, Dec, 12.-Advices from
Berlin to the German embassy indicate
that Germany's peace terms, in gen
,eral measure, propose the restoration
of the status quo before the war with
the exception of the establishment of
Independent kingdoms of Poland and
Lithuania.
They are understood to propose the
complete restoration of the occupied
portions of Belgium and France in re-
turn for Germany's captured COLONIES
and to dispose of the Balkan situation,
because of its extremely complicated
nature, in the peace conference.
News that Germany and her allies
were about to enter on peace negotia-
tions was Immediately sent to Presi-
dent Wilson. Speaking for the presi-
dent, Secretary Tumulty said he was
deeply interested, but could make no
comment until it was at least learned
what reception the proposal received
from the entente allies.
Will Transmit Proposals
The state department received it's
first information of Germanys pro-
posal through the Associated Press dis
patches, from which officials assumed
that the offices OF the neutrals ad-
dressed are asked only to transmit the
proposals. This will be done, so far as
the United States is concerned, prompt
ly on receipt of the official dispatches
in Washingto. They will be forwarded
to all the entente countries where the
United States represents the central
powers automatically
Whether the United States would ae-
company the transmission with any
comment or suggestion, it was indi-
Gated, depends entirely upon the nature
Of the proposal and whether it is con-
sidered likely of consideration.
If the offer is deemed one on which
all sides might negotiate the United
States probably would urge that it be
taken up.
