Announces Reforms To Be
Made by New Ministry.

BY ED l.. KEEN.

London, Dec 19-The allies will
not treat with Germany for peace I'M
til Germany formally states the terms
upon which her peace proffer is based
A formal note to this effect will be
sent to Germany within a few days.
Premier David Lloyd-George an
nounced such a rejection of imperial
Chancellor Won Hollwegs
peace offer for a week ago, in an
epoch-moking speech in the house of
commons this afternoon.
The allies terms are complete re-
storation and full reparation, with eff
fectual guarantee for the future, the
British premier declared.
He formally stated that England
endorsed the rejection of the German
peace terms which had bee made by
Russia and by France. He character
lied the Teuton offer as a moose of
rope in which the allies were asked
to place their necks.
Couchcd in Bitter Irony.
The premier emphasized the unity
of the allies by declaring that each
had arrived at the decision to reject
the German proposal .-dependently.
His terms of rejection of Ge-manys
offer were couched in bitter irony.
Without PREPARATION peace is i'm
possible" he declared at one juncture
| 'All the outrages on the land and sea
cannot be liquidated by a few pious
p rases about humanity
THE allies insist that the only end
of the war must be complete guaran-
tee against Prussian mil:tarism dis
turbing the peace of Europe" he de-
| clared.
I LloydGeorge spoke of German as
''swash buckling thru the streets of
Europe" and bitterly pointed out her
broken faith
Small Hope for Peace.
At the outset the premier declared
| the speech of the imperial German
| chancellor and the note which Eng
land had later received afforded
small hope for an honorable and last
| ing settlement"
| He referred caustically to the
phrases in both the speech and the
note about self defense of Germany
as meant to delude the German ma
| ton"
| Great Britain" he said, never
wished to check German develop
ment."

SHIFT PLOT TO BRITISH

Diplomat Framed up Case.

San Francisco, Dec 19.-United
States District Attorney John w.
Preston was hopeful today of conclud-
ing by nightfall the presentation of
his evidence against Franz Bopp, Ger
man consul general here, and six 9TH
ers who are on trial on the charge OF
conspiring to violate American neu-
trality by destroying munitions and
vessels engaged in trade with the en-
tente allies.
Counsel for the defense promised
that interesting testimony would be
introduced tending to show that if any
conspiracy existed it was inspired by
A. Carnegie Ross, British consul gen.
eral, who, counsel alleges. engaged a
private detective agency here to devise
means to discredit the German con-
sui general

Talk Peace?

Providence. r. L, Dec. 19.-The

that the allies in a reply to be made
to the central powers peace proposals
within the next forty-eight hours will
state there can be no peace until Ger
many voluntarily leaves Belgium and
repays every cent of the monthly in
demnity collected from that country
The Journal states the allies will
recognize Germany's right to hold any
territory in France that she may have
gained by conquest. but never will re-
cede from the stand that Belgium
must be restored.
The Journal says the reply will
state that the allies always have stood
for peace and that there is no DISPOSE
tion to ignore any effort honestly put
forth. 1t will be stated, however. the
Journal declares, that the Teutonic
offers are for the purpose CT creating
public sentiment and that they mean
less than nothing.
