That j. just what the United Land

That's the way Deming does things.

You can safely give that as the
British army's answer to all peace
talk" declared staff general today
in response to the question Of what
he and his men thought of President
Wilson's note.
To say that the American note fell
like a bomb shell here, is putting it
mildly. Bomb shells are always more
or less expected here-abouts. where
as such a step as that taken by the
American president was remotest re-
moved from all thoughts.
The move was variously comment
ed upon by the fighting men. Nobody
doubted for an instant the presi-
dents good intentions in the sugges-
tfons, but the feeling was that strong
influences had succeeded in inducing
him to believe this was an opportune
moment to act. Such action was re-
garded as smoothing Germany's road
and enabling her to take the second
step in her peace plot.
Sentiment at the front is uncondi-
tionally against peace now. Every
indication points to much worse con-
ditions in Germany than the world
even suspects; on the other hand.
the allies are daily better situated
to wage a successful offensive.

[By Carl D. Groat. United Press Staff

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Two de-
veiopments that closely followed each
other, today thrust the Mexican stu
alton to the foreground here.
The first was an unsolicited state
ment from the state department that
unrest in northern Mexico Is grow
ing and as result. the administra-
ton attention once more is focused
toward the border.
The second was announcement by
Secretary of Interior Lane that he
has issued call for a conference OF
the American members OF the Ameri-
can-Mexican commission lat some
early date" probably this week. Up
to noon no word had been received as
to whether General Carranza had
signed the troop withdrawal protocol
agreed upon by the commission.
In its statement, the department
declared 1t had information that large
groups Of bandits are on the ram
page and that the situation lis such
as to give the department fresh con-

The state department newspaper
conference this forenoon resulted in
discussion almost entirely on Mext'
can matters.
The department suspects Villa is
getting all the arms he needs across
the border; just how, the department
does not know Nor would the de-
partment say whether conditions are
in a note to Carranza, 1t characteriz-
ed them as "deplorable.
Men In touch with the state depart
ment maneuvers inclined to believe
today's emphasis on Mexican affairs
was intended as a preparation OF the
public for the possible serious de-
velopments. especially as Carranza,
so far as 1t is known. has not signed
the American-Mexioan withdrawal
protocol.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-If Presi-
dent Wilson will get from the entente
allies their terms of peace, Germany
probably" will furnish to the presi-
dent the Teuton terms. it was stated
at the German embassy today.
Central power diplomats agreed
with this belief. They said they do
not expect any. move from President
Wilson until England's reply to his
peace note is received. Should Presl-
dent Wilson thereupon transmit the
German reply to England and should
England officially ask for Germany.s
peace terms, through the president, 1t
is thought probable Germany would
reply favorably if a similar conces-
sion was made by England. In such
an event however, Germany. it was
said, would prefer both sets of peace
terms to be held temporarily conf
Dental between the belrlgerents and
President Wilson and not be published
except by mutual agreement.
