Washington, December 3.-Information just and permanent peace" is the whole purpose of the note addressed to all the belligerents by President Wilson. The United States desires a full, practical and detailed statement from each of the governments addJessed. This outline, and what follows, was stated officially today for the administration.
 DOES NOT KNOW
 This government does not know, and feels that it has had no real means of knowing, what terms would be required by each of the belligerents to make peace. It regard the recent speeches of the !eg.d- ing statesmen in all countries as vague and indefinite, and sees nothing in them that would enable conference to draw up treaty. All speak of the rights of small nations. the repugnance of con quest, but guarantees of a permanent peace, but no one nation has yet gone into what it means by those phrases in way that the government of the United States can understand.
 VAGUENESS ENHANCED
 Recent press comment has been taken to enhance that vagueness. France. for instance. has not disclosed if what she considers just peace means the evacua- ton of her northern provinces or in ad- dltion to that the restoration of Alsace- Lorraine, or if in addition to both those claims she expects a money indemnity for the damage of invasion or beyond that if she has an actual programme for doing away with so-called German mili- tarlsm. In short, the United States asks what would she accept today as the basis of peace.
 WILSON WANTS DETAILS
 Similar issues apply to all the belliger- ent countries in merely a varying form. What President Wilson wants is the de- tails. As the largest neutral facing grave problems and as the friend of all parties concerned, the United States feels most earnestly that 1t is entitled to know those facts. Unless some one of the group lays down its actual terms. there will be no basis for negotiations and no possibility of peace till the world is bled white, officials declare.
 1 here IS not the slightest expectation here that the terms laid down will be reconciliable at first. It is known that some of the nations will demand what in actuality is impossible. Nevertheless the naming of those terms will afford a basis of negotiation,~ starting place. from which the conflicting interests can begin to converge.
 Nor is any embarrassment seen to any of the nations in naming such terms. It Is understood in advance that they are apt to fluctlate with the military changes and are not permanently binding under new conditions. Whatever any nation feels must be included in its terms for moral reasons can also be added to the terms without embarra ssment, it is said
 PERMANENT GUARANTEES
 As to permanent guarantees, it was of- ncially declared that the United States stands ready to enter any kind of inter- national agreement that may seem most desirable to the nations, whether perma- nent peace is to be peace by force, if necessary, or by law. The country is not committed to any one plan, and President Wilson is entirely open to suggestions

Cannot Secure Any
Trucks for New Cars
Because of the War

The probabilities are that the Omaha
street Railway company will not build
any new cars in the local shops this
spring. However. a large number of the
old cars will be worked over and put into
first class shape. The war in Europe is
responsible for the fact that no new cars
will be turned out
In past years rhe Omaha company has
had contracts with eastern plants to sup
ply the necessary trucks for cars 70: the
Omaha lines. These have always been
turned our and the orders filled quickly.
Tut now - Is different
some time ago officials VI the local
company sent requests TO the car wheel
foundries with which they nave been
doing business for years, asking quota
tons on car trucks. The answers calue
back that no quotations could be fur
nished for the reason that all Of the
factories were swamped with orders for
supplying munitions for the war zone and
mat the profit was about 100 pcr cent
greater than on the manufacture II car
wheels As result it is practically i'm
possible to secure any class OF car cast
ings. This year the street railway COM
pany will assume entire charge of the
amusement park at Lake Manawa, below
Council Bluffs. and will maintain sub
stantially the same rail service as last
year. The resort will be under the man
agement of Carl Edwards, the five-year
lease with Harry Barnett having expired.
