ENTENTE WILL TAKE
TIME TO CONSIDER
Formal Answer to Any Peace
Proposal Will Require Two
or Three Weeks.
MAY MAKE COUNTER OFFER

London, Dec. l3.-The indications
are the various governments OF the
entente allies do not intend to act
hastily in making joint response to
the peace proposals OF the central
powers. 1t was pointed out in we'll
informed quarters today that, while
each one of the allied governments
might indicate its general attitude,
consultation among the allies under
the treaty binding them to such ac-
ton probably would require two or
three weeks.
Although little confidence is shown
in London that any result will come
from the peace proposal Of the central
powers and the opinion prevails quite
generally that the time is not oppor-
tune even TO discuss terms, there
is all undercurrent OF feeling that
something would be gained by max
ing the world acquainted definitely
with the objects Of the belligerents.
Announcement Thursday.
The attitude Of the British govern
ment toward the offer will be made
known in the House of Commons to-
morrow, provided sufficient time shall
have elapsed to permit consultation
with Great Britain's allies, and this
statement is awaited with the great
est interest.
If the press which supports the ad-
ministration interprets official infor-
nation little time will be taken up by
consideration of the move of Ger
many and its allies, although the mod
crate opinion of the country does not
favor too hasty rejection of the over
lures. 1t is believed the German
people, once acquainted with the OBJ
jects OF the entente, might be more
inclined toward peace and that for
that reason, if for no other, the terms
of the entente allies should b. made
known officially to the central powers.
Times Rejects Proposal.
The German peace proposal is re-
jected by the Times, which says
"Germanys proposal bears no re-
lation whatever to the objects for
which we are fighting. 1t has been
trying by all the means at its dis
posal to induce US to make the sug
